Red Palace Valley View
About This Spot
Stepping into Red Palace Valley View is like walking into a calm, familiar corner of Roanoke where the pace slows just enough to savor simple pleasures. The spacious layout invites you to browse the buffet with ease, a gentle bustle of fellow diners moving thoughtfully through colorful dishes and warm aromas. It’s not a place for rushing, but for taking a moment to enjoy the comforting rhythm of shared dining.
The atmosphere nurtures a sense of honest, everyday delight. Friendly staff move quietly at your side, ready to guide without fuss, while the glow of soft lighting reflects off polished surfaces and neatly arranged food stations. It’s a space where the blend of fresh ingredients and steady attention to detail comes through—not in overt flashiness, but in the satisfying freshness threaded through every bite.
Here, the menu unfolds like a well-loved conversation about familiar flavors, from the gently spiced orange chicken and tender sesame beef to simple steamed vegetables and tofu thoughtfully prepared for those seeking lighter options. Delicate seafood meets hearty meats, and everything feels freshly made, comforting without pretense. The buffet’s variety encourages small adventures on each plate, inviting you to sample the crisp spring rolls alongside richly sauced scallops or the subtle heat of Mongolian beef next to the balance of steamed greens.
Whether arriving after a long day’s walk or dropping in for a casual meal, the pace here encourages gathering at the table with relaxed warmth. This is a place that welcomes regulars and newcomers alike, where the timing of your visit might mean discovering a different nuance in the dishes or a few changed offerings, but the steady care and clean, well-kept setting remain constant.
In that way, Red Palace Valley View feels like a quietly reliable local treasure—a place where the food comforts as much as the steady ease of the experience, and every visit quietly promises something genuine without needing to shout. For those who enjoy an unhurried meal filled with familiar flavors and warm hospitality, this spot quietly earns its place in the rhythm of the neighborhood.

Great food and service!!! There was plenty of room for maneuvering around the food bars. To venture to the bathroom it's a very tight squeeze. There is a handicap stall.

There are two locations. This one and one at Tanglewood. Tanglewood is atrocious and should be avoided at all cost. Really. This one is great. The vibe is good. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is standard Buffet stuff but kept fresh and taste great. Dont go close to closing because it will not be fresh. Sorry. I always eat way fatter than I should here.

The food here is always delicious I've been coming here for years generally once every week or every other week. The staff is always friendly and the place is always clean. The food is always fresh no matter the time because it's always busy. I recommend checking it out when you're in Roanoke.

Prompt and attentive customer service. A delightful array of options, and despite our late arrival (8:45pm), everything remained nicely cooked and flavourful. The setup was appealing, and the facilities were very clean. After an exhaustive 8-hour hike, the buffet was a satisfying feast!

I haven’t had a buffet like this in decades! Yes, it’s an Asian buffet, so I wasn’t expecting lobster or anything fancy — honestly, I expected cheap cuts of meat and lackluster veggies. But this place surprised me! They had a wide spread of dishes, including fresh vegetables, seafood, beef, pork, and chicken. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. I came away genuinely impressed!

The food is always delicious. I didn’t really rate the service. We do the buffet and other than refilling our drinks no other service is needed. We do get seated pretty quickly. Everything is clean. The staff greets you with a smile. But the food. It has never disappointed. My favorite Chinese restaurant. I wish we lived closer we would go more often.

We dined here on Christmas night 2023 for the first time, and were blown away by the quality and freshness of all items. Our party of four waited about 15 minutes to be seated on a VERY busy evening, and felt that wait was appropriate. Once seated, our waiter took our drink orders and we were free to visit the stations. Everything was hot and fresh with new items being added or refreshed regularly. Some standout items included the dumplings, chicken on skewers, tempura sweet potato, and all of the seafood dishes. We look forward to dining here again during our travels.

This truly is a great buffet place. Michael and Mai (May) really run a tight ship here !! The hot tea is excellent, the food is always great and service is awesome !! We've frequented this Restaurant for more than two decades !! Great for Locals, travelers and Chinese food lovers.
