All-You-Can-Eat Lobster @ World’s Biggest Seafood Buffet

Could this be the biggest seafood buffet in the world? Lobster at a buffet? Are you kidding me not in Atlantic City, not out there at the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Wow, look at that. And just think, you can have 10 of these if you want. If you love seafood, I think this episode is for you. What's going on adventurers? It's your boy, it's Bay KJ. It's vacation education. Today I'm coming to you from the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. This place right behind me here is one of the newest establishments here in Philly. This place is big. This place has got a lot of things going on. Supposedly it could be the largest seafood buffet in the world. And today I'm inviting you to join me. Let's go. Royal Buffet and Grill, and this is at 324 Oregon Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 1948. Look at that place. This place is beautiful. I think it's only been here for maybe like a year. That's probably about it. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet. It says, with serving over 200 dishes daily. Holy cow. Some of the pictures I've seen of this place right here, man, the seafood. Oh, I'm going in all right. The seafood spread in there is incredible. So I'm really excited to check this place out. It's not too far from where we live. It's pretty close to the stadiums and a lot of the sports arenas here in Philadelphia. It's got a lot of parking here. It's a nice parking lot. And we're going to be heading in here and checking this place out. I'm pumped. Let's go. Joining me today on this Philadelphia adventure, the Vay KJD. Welcome everybody. Glad you could be here with us today. We're back in Philadelphia, beautiful weather. I hear this place has some amazing seafood. We're really anxious to get to it. So let's go. I'm telling you, people are piling in. Another good fun fact about this place is the hours. So this place is open super late during the week and on the weekends, but we are here today on a Wednesday. Okay. And during the week it's open from 11 AM to 1030 PM, but on the weekends it's open from 11 AM to 11 PM. So if you happen to be in Philadelphia, this place is open pretty late. You don't know where to go late night. Oh my God. This is crazy. All you can eat. Jumbo crabs, number one, blue crab, oxtail, whatever that is. Lamb chop. And what is this right here? It's what I'm talking about. The lobster and only $38.99. And that's even less for Vay KJD because he is a senior. You can follow him. It says Royal Buffet, Philly, phone number 267-202-7181. And there is the address one more time. Whoa. Look at that. Holy mackerel. Royal Buffet and Grill. I'm telling you, man, this place is fancy. Wow. Hello. How are you? Two please. Yes. Oh, he's 65 or older. Yep. Got the discount. Thank you. Don't we just wait here to be seated? Oh, thank you. Oh my gosh. Geez. Yeah. This place is giant, man. Yeah. I can't see the other end. I told you it's huge. A table or booth. What do you want? Okay. Table sounds good. Your best table, please. Let's go, man. Look at the, look at the lighting in here. That's cool. Looks great. Thank you. Tea. Yes. I'll have a sweet tea, please. He just wants water. Glass of water. Yeah. Glass of water is good. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. What an entrance this place had. Are you kidding me right now? Lighting fixture is super modern. I got to go check out this tree again up there. Waiter came over, asked for our drinks, and then that's it basically. And we're going to go up and check out this huge buffet. Over 200 items. Mark it down. Whoa. Is that cool or what? You didn't think you were going to see a huge lighted tree inside this place, did you? This place is so gigantic. There's so many different sections. It's hard to know where to start. I think we're going to start right here in the beginning. Right over here is the sushi section. Look at the little, little bridges. Yep. Get your plate. And this is the sushi section right here at the sushi bar. And they have the edamame right there. They got sweet salad, seaweed salad. This looks like egg sushi or something like that. Look how beautiful these are. Wow. Seaweed salad. Bacon JD is going to go with some of the seaweed salad right there. And some edamame. Yeah. Never had it before. This one right here, it says Maine lobster. Is this Maine lobster? Maine lobster sushi. Wow. Well, I'm going to try it. I'm trying it. Let's go. It's not cooked though. That's okay. I like selections, right? Yeah. Well, this is the sushi section of the buffet. I love how they're on top of these, these little stands here. They're all lit up. Yeah. It's like a, it's like almost like a disco or dance club underneath of each item. Over here are the more standard sushi rolls. I mean, and look at all of them. Oh my gosh. There is so many sushi rolls to choose from. They just go on and on and on and on and on. Wow. I'm going to try this one right here. This one looks really pretty. I'm going to grab that one. Yeah. It looks good. Fried octopus ball. Fried octopus ball. It's like calamari or something. Over here at the end of the sushi bar, they have all these different sauces. If you want to put any extra sauce, looks like Baker J.D. is going with, look at that big, huge soy sauce container there. That's pretty cool. Self-serve soy sauce. If you need any more flavor, they got you covered. I put a little extra eel sauce on mine, for example. Look at that right there. Oh my gosh. That is a huge pile of Alaskan snow crab. Are you kidding me right now? Look at this. That is a lot of crab, bro. First plate here at the Royal Buffet. A lot of unusual things here. I've been to a couple of buffets and so on, but this one's really got some different things if you want to try some different items. First time in 72 years I've ever tasted seaweed. Seaweed salad. Crunchy. It's a little sweet. It's actually pretty good. A little bit of sesame seeds in there. I have to say, I like it. Very interesting. Let's try the lobster here. It said it was lobster. I'm not sure what it is. You should be able to tell by the taste. You cannot tell it's lobster. It's very fresh and tasty. I'm used to regular crab legs or lobster where you're dipping them in butter, so half the time you can only taste the butter anyway. I don't really care what kind of buffet it is. What I care about is the different tastes and flavors you can get. I don't care if it's American, Japanese, Chinese, blah, blah, blah. It doesn't matter. How many items are you getting? How many different flavors can you experience? And can you find items that you've never had before? This right here is not a meatball. No, no, no. It's an octopus ball. Pretty tasty. I did put a little bit of eel sauce on there. If you don't know what eel sauce is, it's kind of like teriyaki sauce. I sweetened it up a little bit. It was very delicious. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but I liked it. Octopus ball interesting item number one in the books. Okay, adventurers. We're just going to dive right in. The reason that you're all here on this video is to see this next thing. We've been to a lot of buffets. They offer a lot of items, but they never, ever offer this item. Oh my gosh. Here comes another big thing of lobsters. Oh my God. That's crazy. Signature dish. I know right there. Look. Signature dish. Steamed, fresh, live, whole lobster. Please. Thank you. Oh my God. Look at that. That's what I'm talking about. Picks up the whole plate. Wow. Here, Bacon JD, you go ahead, buddy. It's just like yours. There you go. Dang. That's crazy. And sweet corn right here to go with the lobster. Look at this, man. Everything just looks so absolutely wonderful. Are you kidding me right now? Wow. This right over here is another signature dish and you're never going to guess. You think that's chicken? No, that is salt and pepper frog. This is really going off course here. Are they legs? Are they the inside? This one is like almost a whole frog. I think here. Is it a bullfrog? I don't know. Is it princess and the frog? I'm not sure. What is the most important thing to eat with lobster? Well, I would say the butter. You got to dip it into butter. You know what I mean? Absolutely. They got a big thing of butter over here. Oh, look at that. It almost looks like they mixed some of the old bay in there. I don't know. That's possible. Which is very possible. Now we're talking. Now this plate is complete. Let's go back over and do some taste testing. I don't think there's really much to eat in the front half. Right now, did you think you were having lobster today? Never. So it's all about that lobster tail is what you're telling me. Oh yeah. We were too excited. We had to rush right to the main event. And I mean, if this is not the main event, I don't know what is. A freaking whole lobster. As much as I love Shady Maple Smorgasbord, some of the other places that we've been to, right? They don't have whole lobsters there. Look at this. Watch this baby. Here we go. Let's go separate it right there. Now we got the lobster tail on this part right here, which is basically nothing. Now watch this. Look at this. Yeah. Oh my God. Look at big piece of lobster right there. Kidding me right now. Once you get it started, you can practically push the tail right out of the shell. It just comes right out. I mean, he's pulled right out. That's it. The Big EJD has his full lobster tail out there. Man, look at that baby. That's that beautiful or what? Dipping it in the butter there. I can't remember the last time I had lobster. I mean, it's been a while because it's just so expensive. You just never get it. I can't imagine here. This place, all you can eat lobster. You could have 10 lobster tails. I just might. I'm telling you, this is really good. I'm telling you. Wow. It's done just right too. I mean, it's tender and just the right chewy, you know, a little bit. Really great taste. The secrets that we find in Philadelphia. Oh man, I'm going back for more. I got my butter right here. My big piece of lobster in the other hand. We're going to do a little dip action right there in front of the camera. Oh my gosh. I can't believe we're eating lobster. This is wild. Oh my God. That is incredible. Man, like Big EJD said, it's chewy. It's tender. It's real lobster. I mean, they might not be the largest lobsters I've ever seen. It's the real deal. No way around it. No matter what, you can't imitate this. You know what I'm saying? It came right out of the lobster tail. Wow. I love this place. I love this place. Oh my God. This is incredible. What a deal. This could be the best. You could have buffet deal ever. You could have three lobsters. Three lobster tails. Three lobster tails. And that would be as much as it would cost at a regular, just for that. One lobster tail could be as much as this entire meal. Yeah, well. Not three, one. It's only $30. Wow. Either way. Yeah, we're got to go back for more of that. That was absolutely bonkers. I can't even believe, I can't believe this place exists. There are so many different sections here at the Royal Buffet. There's so many items. It's really hard to almost wrap your head around it. Like for example, look at this over here. This right here is the Steamed Maryland Blue Crab. Look at that. They got whole crabs right there at the buffet. We've had blue crab before, right dad? Well, that's what we used to catch down in Virginia when we were camping down there. There were small, there were blue crabs. There he is. The only real problem, they taste wonderful. Yeah. But it is a lot of work. Yeah. You know, to get to those little pieces of meat in there. That's the only drawback. If you can get it already prepared for you. Steamed scallop and garlic. This right here is cheesy crab meat stuffed inside a crab shell. Look, this is actually a crab shell. It's holding these items right there. I've never seen something like that. That's the easy way to get crab. It's already been, you know. That's awesome. Looks good. Of course, they got some shrimp right here. A lot of shrimp. I'm not sure what abalone is. Obviously, it's a seafood of some sort. This might be my only chance to ever taste abalone in my life. So we're going to go for it. Maybe a couple onions there. The crab craziness continues. Over here is the crispy fried soft shell crab. Oh my God. I know. It's getting wild. They're killing me now. I know. Look at this. I'm just going to go with one of those. Did you try a lump crab cake? I don't know. I mean, this is the whole crab section right here. This is a Cajun snow crab broil. What's funny is that all the places we've been to, Dad, if they have any seafood items, this could be it right here. Just these legs alone. I have one, two, three, four different crab items on my plate alone. This is the plate-o-crab. It's the abalone. It's tender. Definitely in the clam muscle category. Sure. Boy, as soon as you break open the crab cake, you smell all the herbs and the crab. Absolutely delicious. Very good. Wow. Plate-o-crab continues here at Royal Buffet. What you need to do if you're going to come to a place like this, for some reason, people always think that it's this food, that food, or whatever. You see this right here? You see all these items on this plate? This has nothing to do with any type of cuisine. It's just seafood. It's a big plate of seafood. You can call it American seafood. You can call it Chinese seafood. You can call it city seafood. You can call it whatever you want, but guess what? It's just seafood and at a great price. I'm going to try this soft-shell crab first. Look at this right here. I don't even know. I'm just going to put it in this butter. I'm not sure I'm going to do it or not. I'm just going to do it. I don't care. It's going crazy. Wow. Excellent soft-shell crab taste. Absolutely incredible. All of this seafood, I know for a fact, I've never had this many seafood items at a restaurant before in my entire life. Lobster, soft-shell crabs, Alaskan crab legs, blue, whatever this is, crab. It's incredible. It's crazy. There's so many seafood items up there. You can't really even eat them all. No, but again, this one's inside a little crab head right there. That was excellent. It's in this cute little orange shell here. I can't remember what kind of seafood it is, but if it's seafood, I love it. Scallop with something in garlic. Oh man. Oh, the garlic, that fresh seafood taste. All right. Here we go. I finally got a piece open here. Look at this. Oh yeah. There's a big one. There's a nice one right there. Let's go. Alaskan crab legs or whatever it is. I don't know. That's good. There it is. What? I wasn't sure about this place, but I'm telling you, if you're looking for some seafood, we've been to a lot of places and there's a lot of interesting items at all the places that we go to, but if your number one goal is to eat as much seafood as humanly possible, okay, then you should come here. There's no, there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you love seafood, you're going to love this place. Crab in there. It's marinating in that butter. Let's go. Oh yeah. I know there's going to be someone out there that goes, $38. Oh my God. This is so much money. Then you need to come out from underneath of like your rock and understand that I don't know where people are getting seafood really cheap. I mean, maybe if you go buy it and take it to your house and you make it, maybe if you have a boat and you go out and actually catch it, but if you're coming out to a restaurant where it's already prepared for you, where you can have as much as you want and it's already cooked and it's already sitting right there and you don't have to wait, it's going to cost a few dollars, bro. I mean, come on now. We did the surf, but now it's time to hit the turf. I've never seen this item before anywhere else. It's called braised oxtail with house special sauce. Braised oxtail. Okay. Man, this place is fascinating. I'm telling you. I mean, is it real tail? It looks like tail to me. I mean, it looks like the bone going through the tail. Yeah. I mean, what do you think? This one right here, it's grilled premium thick cut ribeye steak. Now I know what that is. So it's cool because it's steak, right dad, but it's already all chopped up for you. Chopped up and there's mushrooms. There's mushrooms in there. It's like, look, your fave. So I'm going to grab a couple pieces of that. That's nice. So that way you don't take too much. You get a couple of pieces. You're good. Thank you so much. You're welcome. You're welcome. No, we appreciate you guys. Thank you for watching. The last turf item is called the rack of lamb. Why not? Why not get some lamb? Oh man. There we go. Nice. Meat lovers dream here. Absolutely. Bakage AD, do you want to continue your oyster adventure? Because right over here is another waste of item I've never seen before. Look at that. Yeah. Got corn in there. I don't know. Oh, there's so many Oh, okay. Baked oyster with cheese, probably with some corn too. Yeah. I would say so. Oh, one of the Bakage AD's favorite items. Oh, now we're talking. There's nothing like, there's nothing better than a big spoonful of mussels. Baby white clam with black bean sauce. Interesting. So even, even the items that we've seen at other places, there's a little bit of a twist here with the sauce, you know, how it's prepared. That sauce does look fascinating in there. Oh, there you go. Of course they have all the regular Asian specialties. They have bourbon chicken right here. They got coconut shrimp. They have seafood delight. It looks so good. Honey chicken, Mongolian beef, chicken with broccoli. Of course the famous general sauce chicken. They have all these items, lo mein, vegetable rice noodle, and house special rice, of course. I don't know about you, but when I have barbecue, obviously you got to have some cornbread and they actually do have cornbread here. So that's what I'm trying to say. Like these places have some American specialties. So now I got cornbread and my turf platter. I'm going to throw in a piece of garlic bread. Garlic bread. Wait a second. Italians. Yeah. I don't know. Hey, garlic bread goes with everything. It does. It certainly does. No question about that. They have the Buffalo chicken wings, the crispy fried chicken wings. Oh, I love these right here. He's one of my faves. This is the salt and pepper crispy shrimp. These shrimp look gigantic. We're going to grab some of those. I can't help it. I gotta mess up the turf situation here with the crispy shrimp. Crispy butterfly shrimp. It says fried banana, but it really is fried plantains. And I love fried plantains. Oh my gosh. They're so delicious. They're nice and sweet. If you never had a fried banana before, a fried plantain, they are absolutely incredible. It's very popular with the Latino cuisines, actually. Now this place is really starting to fill up. It is very, very busy. This place is doing some business, baby. I know. There's other rooms. There are private rooms. There's the big room. There's the small room. But you know which room we're in? The best room. Going right for that oyster. Look at that big shell. That is crazy. What a great combination. You still get that real briny seafood kind of flavor and the cheese kind of, but it's not overwhelming. You still get the really good seafood flavor. Such a different item. I mean, where are you going to get this anywhere? Little neck clams with a special sauce. Black bean sauce. Again, it's a great combination. Something I've never seen before or even gotten to try. Right. Oh, they're so tender. Just wonderful. It's like an old favorite with a little bit of a twist. With bean sauce, it's a little sweeter and you don't need to dip them in butter. Everybody's got a great flavor. Oh my God. Look at this. Lamb. It is so tender. You see that? It just came right apart right there. Just when I think I found the best item here, they wound me with something else. I do need to try, though, this oxen tail. Oxen tail. Have you ever seen? Seriously, put it down in the comments. Is oxen tail like your favorite item? Have you ever seen oxen tail before? I hate to keep repeating myself, but is this anyone's favorite item out there? I mean, I'm excited to try this. Sweet. It's tender. Maybe it's because it's got some sort of marinade on it, some kind of juice. It's very juicy. You know what? When I usually tell people I love getting tail, I wasn't thinking it was going to be oxen tail. Olly olly oxen free. That's good. I highly suggest getting some tail here at Royal Buffet. Of course, I have some steak strips here. It's already pre-cut for you. It's great. It's very tender. A lot of flavor. That's one thing I love about Asian buffets is they're never light on the seasonings. They're never light on the sauces. Everything has got a very bold, very delicious flavor. Whatever they're going for, they don't half step. I mean, they go all the way, baby. With every single item, if you're a steak person, if you're a seafood person, if you're an oxen tail person, does that exist? You got to come here. A nice piece of cornbread right there. Cornbread is soft, moist. Man, it's really good cornbread too. Honestly, I thought this was going to suck. The cornbread, I don't know why. This was like, it's kind of like a throwaway item. Maybe they don't really care about the cornbread, but man. It doesn't even need any butter or anything like that. It just tastes great just like this. It's a nice little break for some of the other items. Not every single thing has to be out of left field. You can get something here too that you've had a million times, like cornbread. Man, that's good cornbread. Your name is Serenity? Serenity, do you love the Royal Buffet here or what? I like the seafood. Oh, she likes the seafood. There you go. Well, thank you, Serenity, for chiming in. We'll see you on YouTube. What's your YouTube channel? It's called Vacation Education. Here is the Dim Sum Bar. Now, we've been to a lot of these places and I've never seen a Dim Sum Bar before. Hey, KJD, have you ever had Dim Sum before? No, I haven't. Okay. This is amazing that there's a whole bar here. Fascinating. You must know a little more about this than I do. Just a tiny bit. Actually, my buddy, Jim, you might've seen him in another video. He was in one of the other videos that we have here on Vacation Education. He actually introduced me to Dim Sum, like these little pouches that they wrap up and put different items inside. And then it's almost like a dumpling, but it's in a different shape, so to speak. They can have all types of interesting things in there. I'm telling you, if you get the right Dim Sum, it could be your favorite item ever. They have a couple of different ones over here. See, they got these ones. I love how they're in these little bowls. So, do you take the bowl or do you just take the thing out? No, you just take the item out. So, for example, this one right here, KJD, I think you should try this one. This one is the Hong Kong-style roast pork bun. So, you're going to grab one of these. You're going to go ahead and snatch one of those. I believe it's a sweet pork item. I think you're really going to enjoy that. They're wrapped in different things. Like this one over here, it looks like they're even wrapped in like a leaf, but that's not the one that I've had before. They're a banana leaf or something. Yes. Wow, look at those. Yeah, yeah. Red bean bun. So, it really is kind of like a dumpling. It reminds me of that slot machine at the casino where they say, order up. And then the dumplings, I don't know. Oh, it's called hot pots. Hot pots. That's it. This is my first dim sum. This is called crystal shrimp. That right there looks like beware of the blob. Yeah. This is taro. No, no, no. What you want to do, you just want to pick it up and just bite it. Yeah. Wow. The dough, the coating over it, very light. And the meat is, you're right. This could be one of my favorites. I told you. Trying some different things at these places is a lot of fun. I mean, you can really have a good time. You bite into these and you're kind of looking for a familiar taste to say, oh, it tastes kind of like this or like that. But you can't. You can't because it's just different. Delicious. The seafood just continues here at the Royal Buffet. And I mean, look at this right here. Do you know what kimchi is? Yeah, I know what it is, but I don't at the same time. Korean kimchi. This over here is their like seafood salad. This right here is baby octopus salad. Look at that. Oh my gosh. But wait a second. Holy cow. Lobster claw craziness. Yes. The whole lobsters are one thing. Look at the size of them. I know they're huge. I can't even get the thing out that's too big. Look at that. That's a huge lobster claw. You know what? We're going to get two lobster claws. You want to know why? Because I can. This was the only thing that they were missing over there on the lobsters were the claws and that lo and behold, they were over here the whole time. Are these cold? Yes. They're definitely were cooked, though. I mean, you can tell. Oh, yeah, yeah. But you eat it like a cold. Yeah. There's more more Alaskan snow crab. Snow crab. Cold. Cold. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Well, oysters right here. They could have one of those before. This one over here, Dad, is not just mussels. This is New Zealand green shell mussels. What? They look like there's some a sauce on to. Obviously, those are the biggest mussels I've ever seen. Yeah, they really are. Holy mackerel. Look at the size of that one right there. Those are those are big. Those muscles are on steroids. You get it. Wow. I'm not sure what the sauce is. It looks good, though. Wait a second. Old shrimp. Vacay JD. I know. What in the heck is this? What? I don't know about this one. I have a feeling those are Canadian green sea snails. Is this escargot? Canadian green sea seals. And the only reason I know that is because it's on the side. Oh, my God. Look at that right there. Look at that. What in the heck? How do you get it out? I don't know. But that just looks it looks like it looks like an alien in there. Yeah. There's some huge. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not the only in Canada. Are you daring enough to try that? I'm not sure if I am. I'm going to put it on my plate because it does look good. OK, looks like a showy showy sauce. You are very brave. This one right here. Hey, look, knives. Yeah, they do have oven baked beef brisket. Look at that. That looks wonderful. Just a little bit. You know what I think, AJ, there's no such thing as just a little bit, of course, not in the in the buffet world. This right there on top. OK, that's OK. Yeah. Thank you. And this over here is pork sausage. Now grab one of those. Hey, AJ. Yeah. Here's another surprise right next door here. OK, look at this. It's a royal Peking duck bun. So over here they have all these different types of soup. I recognize that because I've had it before. Oh, yeah. That's very delicious. Definitely the hot and sour right there. Extra creamy soup. This is crazy. I don't it doesn't even look real. And I guess when you're done eating. Yeah. You take this home because it is quite a souvenir. It's very thick. Yeah. Another birthday. This is like the sixth birthday party. I know tonight that we've since we've been here. This place is very popular for birthday. You want to come for your birthday. You can take our word for it that this place is cool or special. But let's be honest here. Would there be that many birthdays here? People didn't think it was like a one of a kind spot. People want to go out for their birthday, you know, at a cool place. And that's this. This is definitely one of a kind, at least for the moment. Oh, yes, for sure. No. So you're going to try to get that thing out of there. Well, you can't eat it with it inside. Come on, you bugger. Ah, whoa. Oh, my God. Maybe you better not show that. I have to show it. It looks very fascinating. Yeah. You know, I think I've met my match here. I'm going to put this aside. That was fascinating, to say the least. Yeah. I mean, I had to fight it. That was like a science project. Now, the shell is empty and it is beautiful. I might actually just take that with me. Unfortunately, what the heck was that thing called? It was a green snail from Canada. Canada snail, total fail. Back to play something a little bit more normal. I'm going to open up one of these big lobster claws. Does that make sense to you? Look at that. There it is. So they got hot lobster. They got cold lobster. How many people out there have been a buffet that's had these crab legs? As soon as they bring out the tray of legs, you snap your fingers. Everyone there is grabbing and grabbing. It's a totally empty. And then you get up there and you're like, oh, man, this buffet here has hot legs. It's got cold legs. It's got full lobsters over there that are hot. They got cold lobster claws over here. And the entire time we've been here, those trays have been full. They're very good at keeping up with the trays. Right. That's what I'm saying. Keeping them full or keeping them hot. You don't walk up and there's some empty thing that's there. No, they're right on it. They're right on top of it. The bottom line is they're putting that food out. If you're here, you're eating. Look how big this is. This mussel is the biggest mussel I think I've ever had. And it's whoa. Wait until you taste this mussel. It's the most delicious mussel I think I've ever had. Whatever sauce they have on this mussel here was absolutely incredible. It was like a tiny bit spicy, not a lot of time at that spicy, but sweet. It's almost like a sweet and sour, a little bit of spice mussel, totally different than anything I've ever had before. This could possibly be, and we've had mussels a lot of different ways, mussel marinara, mussel with butter, mussel with garlic. This could be the best. Oh, we just had a fried mussel the other day for the first time. And this might be the king of them all. Wait until you taste this. Man, these are huge. Sweet, very tender mussels too. It's like a sweet, the sauce they have on it is like a sweet sauce, but it's got a little bit of a kick to it too. But I like it. Yeah, absolutely. In fact, I'm going to go in for the second one. Here's another first for me. Wow. It has a really incredible sauce on it. Peking duck sauce. Sweet, very rich tasting. Yeah. I'm blown away by all these interesting flavors and taste. Now to the final stage here, the dessert area of the Royal Buffet. Look at all these dessert items. Of course they have a lot of fruit. I've never had dragon fruit before. No. All right. We got to just, you know, got to check this out. This thing actually looks, looks threatening. Rambutan. Yeah. Rambutan. I don't know. Well, interesting to say the least. All right. I'm going to go for some of this triple chocolate cake right here. It's got its own little plate. All right. Then they have over here. So I'm saying, look, this right here is classic carrot cake. It's nothing special, nothing crazy. It's not green snail cake or anything. I got almond cookies right there. There's chocolate chip cookies. This down there is premium, dad. Premium New York cheesecake. I'm going to get one of these carrot cakes too. I love it. I love it. All right. There we go. Come over this way a little bit farther. I'm not even sure what this is right there, but it looks interesting. This is cream puffs and they have French something or other right there. And they got some Jell-O selections. Jell-O. Jell-O. It's to-go ice cream, $2 each, but it's free ice cream for dine-in only. Vanilla ice cream, strawberry, lemon ice. They got all these different cherry ice pops, so on and so forth. Oh yes. Thank you, J.D. This was, this, this buffet has so much that I am so stuffed right now. I'm not sure if I can even eat any of this. Happy birthday. The birthdays just keep on coming. It's ridiculous. That's number eight. I know. There they go. Let's join in. Everyone, every single table here is a birthday. Every day is a birthday here. Yeah. Even with some of the crazy selections and one-of-a-kind items they've had here. Day to you. Number nine. Happy birthday to you out there. If it's your birthday out there, happy birthday to everybody out there. That's like the 20th birthday here. Holy cow. Nine? We've been here an hour and a half. I know. And there's been nine birthdays? On that note, if you're going to have a birthday, you can't leave the Royal Buffet without having some cake. And I got some classic, oh, I was saying, we have some, we've had some really crazy items here, one-of-a-kind that we've never had before in our entire lives. But it's cool that they have some really, really basic items, like triple chocolate cake and carrot cake. I mean, so if you're scared, like, oh no, BKJ, if I go there, maybe it's just, it's too different for me. I need to just go to Shady Maple Smorgasbord and eat the same things all of the time. You know what I'm saying? It's okay. You can come here and have a couple of different items and some items that are basic as well. So that being said, it is time to try some of this triple chocolate cake. That looks moist and delicious. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Look at that. Look at this. Let's go. Well, definitely chocolatey. Very delicious. Very good. And then last but not least, I got the carrot cake right there. You know what I love about this carrot cake? It's thin, it's portion controlled, and there's a lot of icing. Excellent. Boom. Boom. Wow. BJD has decided to be crazy until the very end. I really enjoy trying some different things that I never had before. This is star fruit. It's refreshing. Almost like a watermelon-y. Now this thing, I'm a little, I'm a little scared because it's got hair all over it. Oh, there's the good stuff inside. What in the heck is that? What kind of a horror movie? Well, I had something like this in Costa Rica. It was called a different kind of fruit, but it was very sweet and very delicious. So we're going to see. Very sweet. Definitely edible by humans. I don't know though. It's almost too much to look at. How about that? Getting to try two different things there. Isn't that crazy? Never had it before in my life. Look at this guy. He's on his second lobster here. Did they say anything when you went to get the second lobster? No, right? There's nobody there. You just help yourself. Okay. That's right. This is after dessert. I want you to know that. It's pretty insane. This is extra footage here. What the hell? There you go. There you go. Mamma Mia. Is that a? That's a beautiful thing. Wow. Look at that. And just think, you can have 10 of these if you want. Yeah, you could. Unlimited. You could come down here and just eat lobster. Don't eat anything else. Yeah. Yeah. You got $150 worth of lobster. Wow. How great is that? The bill has arrived. And there it is. The Royal Buffet and Grill. And we got an adult, one adult and one senior. And it came to $78.82. Incredible deal. We ate so much. Forget about it. Wow. Adventurers, this place right here. Are you kidding me right now? Look at this. It's crazy. This place is like a Vegas-style buffet. But in Philadelphia, I mean, the lights, the sounds, the smells. I mean, look at these. Look at this fluorescent light show going on over at the buffet. We're walking out the inn. Have a good night. Thank you. What an incredible experience. We got to meet the owner. We got to meet the manager. He told us that on one given day, they could sell 5,000 pounds of lobster. Just the lobster. He also said, if you're here and you eat more than two lobsters, they're already losing money. Think about that. You said three lobsters. Three lobsters, they lose money. Or they go up for crab legs. Yeah. What, four times out of five? I don't remember what he said. Maybe it was that or it was the blue crabs. I'm not sure. But either way, the bottom line is when we're telling you out there, this is incredible value. We're going to keep you posted, too. There's going to be another one of these restaurants not too far from here. But if you know where Park's Casino is, it's going to be right down the street. The specific building it's going to be in is there's a huge entertainment complex there called Fisher's. It's been there forever. And the owner of this place, the Royal Buffet here, bought Fisher's. And they're going to be building another one there. It's going to be two levels. You said they bought the whole block. It's going to be two levels. It's going to be even bigger than this place, which is hard to even imagine because it's absolutely gigantic. It's supposed to be open by the end of the year. So make sure you stay tuned to Vacation Education. We're definitely going to be bringing it out at the grand opening. You know what else is gigantic? What's that? Besides this plate, my stomach right now. I know. God, I'm so stuffed. I did eat two lobsters, I'm going to confess. A million other things too. I'm telling you, adventurers, I get it. I get it. I understand the allure of the Shady Maple smorgasbord and all of those places out there in Lancaster. But maybe you don't live close to Lancaster. Maybe if you're traveling. We don't. No, we don't. We were from New Jersey. This place is a lot closer. And even though that it's in the city of Philadelphia, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you. The area that it's in, you know, the lap of luxury. It is not Beverly Hills by any stretch of the means. Okay. But the bottom line is that it got plenty of parking. Okay. It's free to park. Unlike a lot of places in Philadelphia, that's for sure. Number two, it got a lot of items in there. Everyone, super nice, it was delicious, an excellent value for your money. I'll tell you, Philadelphia is lucky to have this place for sure. They even take into consideration seniors, you know, it's four dollars cheaper, I think, or four or five dollars cheaper. Yeah. Which is, they don't have to do that, you know, but they do. We've had mussels at a million different places. The mussels in there were the largest mussels that I've ever seen. They had some sort of a sweet spicy sauce on there. It was absolutely incredible. A different take on mussels. I thought that was a very interesting item for sure. Well, I must have tried six or seven different things I never had before in my whole life. So, I mean, that's a lot of fun. And, you know, you might not like them as much as some other things, but it's always fun to try. That's it. Make sure you hit the like and subscribe button, hit the notification button.
