A bunch of my friends were talking about our favorite fried chicken joints over poker and several of us were getting nostalgic about this place. To our surprise, after doing some googling, we found out this place was still open! My friends and I remember going to this place when we were children and thought it would be awesome to go again.
To my surprise, this place is exactly like it was 15 years ago!!! There’s a new small selection of Asian food and sushi, but the spread is primarily as I remember it as a kid!
Price is reasonable, it’s $20 for dinner and it’s all you can eat. I like this place because beverages are all included! Especially if you like a soft drink or bubble tea for your meal and then an additional coffee or tea for dessert. This can add up at other buffets.
As for food, most of the recipes just like the restaurant, haven’t changed in many years and tastes have certainly changed. Things like the bbq spare ribs or the broiled fish don’t really work anymore. But there are timeless classics like the fried chicken, coleslaw, baked ham, and taco bar which you really can’t go wrong with. There are also great desserts like the apple turnover, baked chocolate brownies and soft serve ice cream which are really good.
If you’re looking for a buffet to try that is kid friendly this place definitely has some solid hits.
We always come for the chicken! And they're stuffing is the best! Staffing is decent and for the most part very friendly and polite. The place is usually clean and the food is always good when we go!
Nice lunch buffet selection but at times it can be a hit and miss. There are some food items that aren't as good as it looked like. The fried chicken is one of the best- tasty, large portions and less breading. Nice selection also for dessert. Wouldn't mind going back if I'm in the area and really hungry and craving for Chinese food.
This score is for the fried chicken only. Look,this place is what it is,but that fried chicken is crazy damn good. Probably one of the best in the city.
I have to say that every once in a wile I really love a good buffet and Royal Fork has an extensive selection! There's something for everyone here, that's for sure! The last time I went I realized that you can really pack away the food at this place...and judging by the size of approximately 90% of the patrons they DO pack it away! Wow! The size of the people who eat here is impressive...!
You Choose. Visited here for the first time in years. I'm not a big fan of buffets because there's too much waste and over-eating. However, I had no complaints regarding my visit. From salad to main course to desserts, I found all food fresh and tasty. Appreciated the no sugar puddings.
The buffet was good , the sushi looked nice and they have a sushi chef to fresh prepare what is on display , and as we'll they had a few Chinese Asian dishes , good deserts , overall it's good
Price of $22 is now not worth it for the menu. Unnecessary change of bringing in Bubble tea and sushi
We have been visiting the restaurant since 1999 and the most recent visit is On June 17, 2012, the father's day. I really enjoy the new sushi line. It has over 20 selections and are made fresh by chef. The tastes are great and healthy as well. Me and my wife with two kids spend about $55 in total, which to me is a great deal, as we had American food, Chinese food, Japanese food, free soft drinks, bubble tea and coffee, free desert, ice cream. It definitely worth the money. What a nice change
AWESOME!. Well who hasnt been to the royal fork buffet? I mean its definitely no high quality restaurant but you leave satisfied and are welcomed back! prices have gone up in the last years, but so has everything else! i don't like the lettuce the have now for salads though.
Bonus points for nostalgia. I went out with my family to try a bit of everything Royal Fork Buffet had to offer. I was full before I could touch the dessert line.
The pandemic wasn't kind to this iconic business. We'll be sad to see it go. What rises from its passing remains a mystery.
I loved the salads and the chicken. The sheer variety and quantities of food were stupendous. Try this place if you have the chance.

So sad to see this place go! My family and I have been visiting this place for years! Visited with my family, my brother, and cousin's family and enjoyed ourselves like we did as kids. We've celebrated various occasions over the years. From birthdays, christenings, first communion parties - we're going to miss it. The interior is a little outdated but the food is still tasty. I went with the classic options.
Good to see one of Winnipeg's Crown Jewels is back open and survived the Covid nonsense.
Me and the Misses were there today and everything was beyond clean. The food was fantastic and a BIG variety to choose from. Staff were ultra friendly, with young staff that can actually have a conversation without using their iPhone.
Highly recommended the old school crowd return and put on the feed bag. Make sure you have time for a nap and you're eating sweatpants handy.
