China King

I don’t know why the other reviews on here make this place sound terrible. They’re wrong! This place is best for Chinese buffet. The food is tasty and fresh. The selection was great, they had extra things other buffets don’t have. The atmosphere is beautiful for a buffet. Totally worth the money.

We Always enjoy the food here. We sit in the same section every time and the same guy is always working… I don’t think he takes a day off LOL… The price is reasonable for what you get. They were out of kimchi this time, but all of my other favorites were available. We do not go anywhere else for Chinese buffet, unless we are in Dallas there is a place we have found that we love there as well :)

Ugh! Horrible! Run don’t walk to the nearest Panda Express! I ate pickles, ½ of a boiled egg and suck down some noodles that were crud. Dessert was my main meal and that was pushing it.
One star for the services, they were nice.

The absolute worst chinese CRAP ever!!! Was in here about 5 years ago, and it sucked sewer water, and is even worse now. Everything that was fried was over fried by 3 times. Chicken was so crusty and hard, I couldn’t eat it. What was supposed to be sweet and sour sauce was less than water thin. It ran down my rice, and disappeared. Hell, I can get chinese food frozen from Wal Mart for $ 2.18, that has it over this s*** 10 times over. Everything was loaded with salt. PITIFUL excuse of a so called restaurant! And when I told the C*** how it was when I paid. No reaction at all. None of the chinese places in Tyler are any good anymore. They’re just like the rest, they’re complacent, and don’t give a damn.

No military discount ****
Nothing magical about the food.
Seats were torn
Restrooms were substandard, graffiti across the stall dividers and the toilets looked like they belong at the recycling yard.
Whole place need a facelift
Don’t go unless you like the smell of urine before you arrive to the restroom

Food is gross (no flavor, undercook etc). Service was just as bad as the food.

Nice setting waitress is nice but my chicken was RAW I ate about 2 pieces before I noticed it.

Food was fresh, and service was very good. We all went back several time. The grandkids ages 7 & 9 even tried new things. The food not only looked pleasent but was delicious. If we’re ever in the area again we will be back.

Very large selection of food. Clean. A bit worn around the edges, i.e. seat cushions should be replaced. However, the food was good and there was many dishes to choose from!

I’m giving this five stars for the overall experience. Some of the items IMHO are 3.5−4.5, but overall it was pretty good. The server was on her «A Game» and took good care of us too. I really felt I got my money’s worth for a lunch buffet.

Great value for dinner or lunch. The crawfish was my favorite! The wontons soup was something to be desired, wontons were great but the broth was lousy! Needed saloons for the egg drop. Ice cream was just ok.

You would hope at a buffet that you would find one thing tasting good and then just eat it so your stomach is not confused. I never found that one thing! Best items were soft serve ice cream and «enchilDas» that tasted like tamales. I thought this was China King”, not Taco Rey! One star because I have to on this a App

I’ve eaten in and have done take out. The buffet is pretty decent; they keep it stocked. There’s a lot of different dishes to choose from. It’s my go to Chinese place!

I prefer taking out than dining in here.
Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty packed. Still got seated quickly. Wasn’t surprised the desserts section was messy due to unattended kids just serving themselves. Ice cream machine look pretty worn too
The bathroom was a mess! If I could have I would’ve held it. So for those reasons I would rather just take out.
Lots of choices though., from the basics like chow mein, rice, orange chicken, broccoli beef to seafood (which I don’t eat) but there was crab and fried shrimp, cocktail shrimp and maybe some other type. They even have tamales., that I didn’t try since I got full from one plate alone. Wings, ribs, fries, pizza., Pretty much an international menu
Spent less than $ 12 on my buffet plate and drink. Not bad but wish I would’ve ate at least $ 12 worth

We eat here rarely. We prefer the one in Whitehouse. But on this visit we were sit promptly and greeted immediately with waitress. We went to buffet place and got out food. They were out of a lot stuff but it was lunch and there were a lot of people in. We started eating and it was ok. Every think pretty much taste the same. Drinks were always full and it wasn’t too loud and we enjoyed our lunch. It’s not the best but it is what it is. Go if you want a quick lunch and good service. I like the chicken wings.

It was ok — kind of a shady crowd in there.

I like it. It’s my second time coming here, I like the food and the ice cream machine. Waiters are always at your service.

Been coming here the 3 years. Super every time. Have the Hot and Sour soup for sure! Best Hot and Sour Soup I’ve ever had. The folks that gave it less than a 5 star don’t eat much. Best in the area by far, especially for a buffet.

ohh yumm yumm in my tumm!!!
they have soo many different selections. lots of asian dishs but you also get enchiladas and some other dishes from different categories. there fishh (BIG PLUS) and sushi (EVEN BIGGER PLUS)
China King’s pretty cheap for a buffet. cant exactly remember how much but thats a good thing, means it was cheap LOL

huge buffet, nothing really spectacular but there was plenty of food to try. not sure if I’ll come here again!
