About Royal Blossom
On Almada St in Hamilton, Royal Blossom is a Chinese restaurant built around a self-serve buffet, with diners working through multiple small plates from a wide spread of dishes and desserts. The buffet line includes Creamy Chicken and Chicken Noodle Soup alongside sweeter options like Ice Cream Nougat, Whippy Ice Cream, Chocolate Cake, and Meringue. The full menu runs to ten dishes in total. There is no reservation system, and the restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, with guests seating themselves once they arrive. The format suits diners who want to sample a range of dishes across a single visit rather than order a single plate. Both savory and dessert sections sit within reach of the same buffet counter.

Customer Review Summary
The buffet is the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising the huge variety of dishes and desserts, noting a "soup-to-nuts" spread that would take several visits to fully sample. Close behind, the desserts bar and cakes and ice-cream selection get singled out, along with cold beer service on the side. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, with several calling the team polite and professional. A few practical complaints recur: one reviewer objects to being charged full adult price for a child who mainly ate soup and noodles, and another flags queue organisation, describing people standing awkwardly over occupied tables due to the layout. Tables being well spaced is noted positively elsewhere, contrasting with that layout gripe. Most reviewers say they'd return or recommend the place, often centering their praise on the sheer range of food available across the buffet.

“This place has been a long time family favourite and it's been WONDERFUL to finally get back here since the pandemic hit. The food is out-of-this-world amazing and the selection is incredible - literally a soup-to-nuts experience, although, the nuts will best be found in some of the cakes and ice-cream from their incredible desserts bar. The staff are wonderful, very friendly, helpful and caring and the manager Yvonne is such a lovely and welcoming person. A visit here is always enjoyable! 💗”
