Red Palace

This was the first Asian buffet I have been in since the beginning of the pandemic. The server was very friendly and attentive. A dirty plate never sat there for more than 3 minutes and the drinks were kept filled. The assortment of food was wonderful, with more different types of chicken dishes and rice dishes, than I thought possible. All of the seafood dishes were well prepared and I sampled every one of them. There was just about anything you could have wanted on the steam tables, and the trays were never empty. I am a big guy, so the dessert area was of interest to me. There were several cakes, puddings, jello, fresh fruits, donuts and several other pastries, all sampled and all tasty. You need to go there with a big appetite and enjoy. I know you'll find something there that you like. Thanks.

This is my favorite Chinese place in Roanoke. There's always consistently good food and the lunch buffet especially is well-priced and definitely worth it. Servers and workers there are always polite and helpful, clean and well-dressed. The women's bathroom is also always clean which is nice as some places don't keep up with them very well. When I've done a la cart foods or take out, those are equally good too. I'm always happy with my trips there, and Red Palace is always a nice addition to any visit to Roanoke for me. My family and I visit it often and we love it.

It's about as Chinese as Chow Mein, which is to say, not at all. I know. I've spent decades there. All the five star reviews don't mean authenticity, but that's not what anyone comes here for. The buffet is, to be fair, as nice and bountiful with options as can be expected. The staff are very fast and efficient. The food has been branded down to let Americans enjoy. The value is fine, for $12/lunch. Then again, if you want real Chinese, get out of Virginia. This isn't Chinatown, Mr. Wang.

Great! Me and my children love eating here! The staff is amazing. The owner is nice. My only wish is after coming here for over 12 yrs that they would add new items to the buffet from time to time. They have sold the same items for 12 yrs only added crawfish since which aren’t my fav since the flavor is only on the shell not inside which is the part you eat. Nevertheless we still enjoy it!
