King Buffet

(08/​26/​2015) Eating take-​out from here as I type. I picked up General Tso’s Chicken and Fried Rice. To get take-​out, you arrive there and they hand you a take-​out box, you fill it with what you want, then they weigh it and you pay by the pound. With one large take-​out box I only paid about $ 6. I don’t think they do the typical «call and they’ll prepare your food for you to pick up» thing that I’ve seen at most Chinese restaurants.
The General Tso’s chicken is pretty bland. At first I thought that it would be more spicy than sweet and that the flavor hadn’t hit me yet. However, I am down to my last piece, and I must say that I’ve had plain water with more flavor than this.
The fried rice, on the other hand, is quite good. Perhaps I should pair this with another kind of chicken in the future.
I will most likely try this place again, only with a different kind of dish. I’m only willing to give it a second shot because (a) it’s pretty cheap, and (b) my apartment is only about a 5min walk from here.
I must say that I am somewhat disappointed because I was thrilled to have a Chinese restaurant so close to where I live.

If this isn’t the classiest place in western PA the I don’t know what is!
Put on your camouflaged cap and come on down!

Standard buffet w/​same buffet food as every other chinese buffet. Nothing outstanding but still cheap eats.

@ CARL V. Dont rate this place if you never ate there. That a gerk move and you should go jump in that dumpster

This is my favorite Chinese restaurants in Indiana. I love the honey chicken and their wings. Lunch time you can eat relatively cheap and do some serious eating. It is like any buffet though, if nobody is eating something the food sits for a bit. Owner is usually at the register and very friendly.

Not going to say that the food is stellar, but you get what you pay for. The lunch buffet is decent and under $ 10. Overall good value.

Never eaten here but wth is up with the picture?
Edit (7÷24÷12) I have now eaten here, and I can suggest that you do not. You can get better chinese food out of a microwaveable box at the grocery store. Or probably out of the dumpster behind any other chinese place in America.

If quantity is your criterion, you’ll love this place. If you know and love Asian food, though, you might want to skip it. Indiana hasn’t much to offer in this genre; best to drive to Pittsburgh.

King Buffet isn’t bad. It gives you the bang for the buck you’ve been looking for.

It’s a staple of being a college student in Indiana, PA. Price is currently about $ 10 per person for dinner buffet, which includes some mediocre crab legs that seem to have been left boiling for far too long, judging by the water that spills out of them and their hard-​to-​break-​because-​they-​bend shells. But it’s a Chinese buffet after all, you’re not there for the crab legs.
Excellent staple (Americanized) Chinese food items, including lo mein, chicken/​beef with broccoli, wonton soup and dumplings. Everything has a good night or a bad night usually, with one of your favorite dishes being suddenly inedible when it was absolutely superb just the week before. Just take a small bit of everything, and you should enjoy your meal there.
They have a few tries at American food on the buffet, like broccoli with cheese baked into it, for those who may come along with you and don’t particularly like Chinese food. I can’t speak to their quality though, as I haven’t tried any of them, nor do I know anyone who has. The rest of the buffet is just too delicious!
Beware though, the low price buffet style indeed attracts some interesting customers… don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Also, the owners are very friendly and usually just stay out of sight and out of your way, with one person bussing the tables at a time.

i really like the food here! it’s kind of a right of passage among indiana students to eat here. everyone i know likes it. they have good food, it’s cheap and they don’t care how long you spend there. i just wish they had more veggie options. TRY THE GREEN BEANS!

Most of my friends like King Buffet, but I’ll tell you up front that I am not a fan. I like buffets, but this just isn’t one of them.
My reasons: It seems kind of dirty to me, but maybe that is only because it is a converted Rax Roast Beef restaurant. Or maybe it’s the patrons that make it seem so. (Those low prices attract an interesting group of diners.) Maybe it is the spilled food all over the buffet. Or maybe its the messy, self serve ice cream tubs with the remnants of all the flavors in all the tubs from careless scooping. It’s just not up to my standards of cleanliness.
In addition, the food does not have a good appearance on the buffet. Sadly, the taste isn’t much better. They do have crab legs, but they seem like the leftover scraps from unintact clusters. Most of the food simply doesn’t seem hot enough, temperature-​wise.
But there are many who would disagree with me. And I must admit it is a good value. All-​you-​can-​eat at a good price. I just don’t care to eat much there.
