King Chinese Buffet

Food wasnt great server came to table one time. Silverware was dirty. Only thing great bout it was the ice cream.

King China Buffet is a great place to eat if it is busy. If not you may be eating older dishes. They have a large selection for everyone. They even have pizza. If you don’t leave there full then it’s your own fault.

I don’t understand the bad reviews! Everything was fine when I went, food was warm and they kept bringing out fresh ones every 5minutes. And the pricing wasn’t bad compared to other buffets I have been to in NYC. Plus the bathroom was kept in decent conditions. I liked the atmosphere and the food.

The food is alright. I have had better food. I think the price is also high for the quality of food they serve. However I witnessed a little kid dip her fingers in the ice cream multiple times. I informed the hostess of this incident in which no action was taken. People went and ate the ice cream and nothing was said to the customers or the parents of the children. I will never be back!

Decent food. Kind of random at times. You usually don’t see garlic bread at a Chinese buffet. But the food was warm and decent. The deserts were rather bland but the rice and chicken were good. Service was satisfactory.

If I could give it 0 stars I would have. I have eaten here before. It was never great but Chinese buffets get you what you pay for. Tonight however absolutely was the worst. The crab wrapped in bacon still had the plastic wrapper on it. With the bacon wrapped around it. There was a hair connecting two of the cheese sticks in the pan. When we brought to the attention of the waitress she acted like she didn’t speak English. The manager or cashier acted like there was nothing wrong and insisted that we pay for the bill. I stopped going after the food poisoning issue a few months ago. I will not ever be back.

Typical chinese buffet. Not great but not horrible either. Good for lunch. I can not recommend it any other time though due to the price increase after lunch and on Sundays.

We’ve visited this place a few times and again was taken back by the bad reviews on Unilocal.But as usual I like to make my own judgement. It’s always packed so they must be doing something right.
To start off the buffet has a lot to offer, from seafood to chicken to beef and lots of sweet treats. The food tastes ok, again you will get what you pay for. Don’t expect PF Chang’s flavors or a Japanese steakhouse. This is a place to have a quick and cheap dinner.
I would say the booths could use some work since in both visits our booths had holes.
But when you live in a small town and you don’t wish to drive 45min this is a good option.

We went at a busy time, thinking «how bad could it be?» as long as it’s (somewhat) fresh, right? We were right. It was not bad. They had a decent selection. The restaurant itself needs some updating and a good cleaning, and I don’t mean it looks dated… it looks dirty. The booths looked as if all of them were tearing (badly), or maybe they had a wild animal in there with sharp claws, nothing surprises me any more. The floors were sticky and I noticed some unfavorable behavior at the buffet by the customers, but then again, people lose their minds & manners at buffets it seems. The part of this visit that made me say «I won’t be back again» was when I saw a server bring someone a drink, that customer sent it back, and I saw it sitting on the soda machine for a while, HOPING they weren’t going to serve it to the next person that ordered that specific beverage. Then they did. If you’re too cheap to dump a glass of soda, where else are you cutting corners? We will not be back.

We stopped here one night for dinner. I’ve eaten at many Chinese buffets and I wasn’t impressed. I don’t even know what to write in this review. It had a decent selection but the food wasn’t that great. We won’t be back.

The staff was ok, they didn’t seem to happy the serve us. The food was ok, all it tasted the same, but what can you expect it a buffet place. The sitting area wasn’t noticeably dirty but who knows what the back looked like.

What can I say? They’re close to our house and sometimes we’re just too lazy to cook dinner and still want something marginally healthy (non-​fast food). King has bok choy, stir fried green beans and tons of broccoli on the buffet. Meat favorites include the pepper chicken, Jindu pork and dumplings.
We tend to like it because we can eat a meal almost entirely comprised of meat, veggies and fruit with little filler or starch. Though, I usually do pick up a little lo mein, so hard to resist. :)
If you’re looking for a quick dinner and it’s getting on the late side, they’re open until 10pm… something we’ve been grateful for a few times. I could really do without the pizza and American standards on the bar, but them’s the brakes, I guess. And skip the soup, theirs isn’t the best.

I’ve eaten at Chinese buffets around the USA & even a few in Germany. First rule of any buffet is to go when the food is fresh. either at the beginning of a day or when there are a lot of customers. 2d rule is try lots of different things, some buffets make different items better than others. 3d rule is there is always a lot of chicken…
I think King Buffet is pretty consistently good. I don’t go to a buffet to eat soup, so no comment about the egg drop soup but the Jindu pork is good (a little too sweet), the seafood/​cheese bake is cholesterol heaven and the sushi is decent. I go back for the black pepper chicken & sweet/​sour chicken. Sure I wish there were a few things cooked differently or menu items added (sesame balls!), but I’ve never gotten sick from the food. except from over-​eating, ha!

I have been to this buffet a handful of times (maybe 4?) and the first few times it was so-​so. Food was ok; nothing to write home about but it was cheap and served its purpose. There were a few items that you wouldn’t normally see on a Chinese buffet, like Italian chicken… Who knew? Every time we’ve gone, their white rice is crunchy and sitting out on the buffet, how does a Chinese place have bad white rice?
Last night (10/​12/​2011) my significant other and I decided we would try the buffet again. We got there around 7:45 and much to our surprise is was fairly empty, maybe four or five other tables and that was it. I was thinking that we might be in for some stale food but much to my surprise everything (except the white rice) looked pretty good. We sat down with our food, took a few bites and then I noticed on my boyfriends plate that there was a long piece of black hair coming out of his spare ribs. We called the waitress over and she ended up calling over the young lady who I assume was the manager on duty. The manager explained to us that it’s hard with a buffet to make sure that the food stays clean and that sometimes things like that happen. She didn’t even seem to care and just blamed it on the public, seriously? I explained to her that I understood that things like this tend to happen from time to time but it was not ok for us at this moment to continue eating our food as we were both pretty grossed out. I let her know that we would not be paying for the three or four bites of food that we had each consumed. As we are walking out she tells us that we don’t have to pay for the food however we had to pay for the one Coke product we ordered and had barely touched. I let her know that it was absolutely ridiculous that she would charge us for the .25 cents in coke syrup that it cost them to give us this drink. I took my time and counted out the change, $ 1.28 to pay them for their soda. Mad doesn’t even begin to cover it.
I let her know that we would NEVER be coming back and that I will be sure to let everyone I know not to take their business there. I come from a long line of customer service type positions and I would never in a million years make a customer pay for a soda if they had a bad experience like we had, especially when that soda didn’t cost them anything in the first place.
We might have gone back and chalked this up to «stuff happens»…but now we definitely will NEVER go back.
So, my advice if you go to this buffet; be sure you check your food for long black hairs! OH… and stay away from the crunchy white rice!

I’m not even sure why we went here. We were driving back from Jordan Lake around 8ish, and spotted this buffet and though, hmmm… it’s worth a try (even though we don’t like to frequent buffets).
Well, there was a Chinese family running the show, which was a good sign… but that’s about it. The workers were recovering from dinner service, because there were buckets of cleaning materials everywhere, but I can’t say that it was really ‘clean’. The seats were still sticky from the previous customers, though our booth was just recently cleaned.
The food selection was nothing to be ecstatic about. There was Italion Chicken, yes… Italian Chicken… in a Chinese restaurant. There was a plethora of fried dumplings, breads, chicken, and ‘seafood’, which was expected. My sister said that the egg drop soup was more ‘cornstarchy’ than most.
So of you’re really hungry and have nowhere else to eat (like the Ruby Tuesdays or Cracker Barrel) a few doors away, then have at it!
Don’t forget to write your reviews about that «Italian Chicken» though ;-)
