Quick info
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
Reviewers come back to the buffet most of all, praising the huge variety of dishes and a desserts bar with cakes and ice cream. One diner jokes it would take several visits to sample everything, and a family birthday party with a wide range of ages found the kids could choose what they wanted and take lots of little plates. The soup with noodles gets a mention, and one reviewer singles out the ice cold beer. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, helpful and very nice, and tables are described as well spaced out, with one reviewer calling the surroundings lovely. A couple of reviewers raise complaints. One felt the queues were poorly organised, with people standing over their table. Another was unhappy that a tall 10 year old granddaughter, who does not eat much, was charged the full adult price after three bowls of soup with noodles. Several say they will be back or would recommend it, and one family says it has been a long time favourite they were glad to return to after the pandemic.

“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! 💗”
