King Buffet

I usually go to another Chinese buffet in town for lunch, but they are closed on Wednesdays so I decided to give this place a shot. The place looked a little run down from the outside, but the $ 4.99 lunch sign in the window got my attention. When I walked in, I was waited on by a child no more than 10 years old. There was also another child maybe a few years older (approx. 13 – 14) running the cash register. I thought that was odd.
The selection of food is small, but it was mostly fresh. The pepper steak, chicken salad, egg drop soup, and sesame chicken were all good. The fruit and desserts appeared fresh. Not really a huge fan of the beef dumplings though and the noodles tasted something awful. Also, most of the food isn’t labeled so you have to do a little guesswork.
It’s definitely not a modern or fancy hibachi style buffet, but it’s a halfway decent place to go if you want a quick, cheap lunch. Cheap being the key word here. If it wasn’t for the price, this would easily be a 1 or 2 star rating.
P. S. If you want a really good Chinese buffet, I highly recommend Golden House in Duluth. It’s a bit of a drive, but definitely worth trying if you’re in that area.

I didn’t feel like cooking so me and my husband decided to stop and here for dinner. We were greeted and sat by children. No adult was in sight. We both made plates and sat down and started eating when my husband noticed something black and long in the potatos! He pulled it out and i tried to pull it apart and it looked like a shoe string or an apron string!!! It had clearly been cooked into the food. We were disgusted! I put the string in the napkin and took it to the counter and told the child that i found this in our food and since we were not there for even 5 minutes that we were leaving and would not be back! The child was very rude and told us to take a time-​out and proceeded to get his mother. She was trying to tell us that they were not dirty and it was a string bean! Im not stupid, you could clearly tell that whatever it was, it was not edible!
Ive told a couple people about this incident and they have told me when they went here that there were things floating around their drinks as if they dont clean the drink nozzles! And some one told me that they even saw a roach in the food on the buffet bar! And it was alive!
I will be calling the health department after this incident. I honestly hope this place gets shut down before they end up killing someone! We are appalled!

The delivery is amazing. The snow shrimp is my favorite and their lo mein is great. They’ve even given us free donuts twice and a free two liter once. I would recommend this place.

First off, the place itself is in rough shape which you will notice quickly upon entering, especially if you venture into the bathroom. At $ 4.99 the price is good. The food is your standard Chinese buffet fare though I wasn’t overly thrilled with any of it. I thought the egg rolls and sesame chicken were good, but I could have passed on everything else. The service was fine though being a buffet it isn’t like you need much service. My water was refilled quickly when it was empty. All in all though, I won’t be going back. There are better Chinese places around at the same price point.

I could only find one review on this place and it was not from Unilocal.So I heard that you could try this joint on a Tuesday night for just $ 3.99. Even with that price, we decided that we needed to take a look at the buffet before sitting down and/​or paying for it. Let me tell you… that was indeed a GREAT decision.
When we first arrived there were a decent amount of cars in the parking lot, which can often be a good sign. We walk in and the first thing we notice is a child (aged 10 or 11) is running the front counter. Ok, so I understand other countries may not have child labor laws, but this is still America folks. Anyhow, the child was basically ready to ring us up or at least get us seated and get the check process going, but we told him we would rather take that look before we commit. We walk by the buffet, and let me tell you, it was quite the sight. First of all, there was hardly any food on the buffet. 80% of the pans were empty and the ones that had food were gross. An immediate example would be a pan of mac and cheese. Now understand that I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I tell you that this had been sitting out for at least 6 hours. It was dry as a bone, had burn marks over it from being over the boiling water or whatever they use to preserve heat for the past 6 hours. I guarantee you would have made anyone sick who was willing to try it (which is also the reason that it was a nearly full pan of mac and cheese that had not been touched at all during the dinner shift… we were there at around 5:45 pm).
I forgot to check their health department score, but I was amazed this place was even allowed to be open at all. I would strongly encourage the health department to check this joint out immediately.
To sum up my review, had they said that they would actually pay us $ 3.99 per person to stay and eat, I still would have declined. I really hate giving out one star reviews unless someone has mistreated me or someone in my family, but this place gives me no other choice. Thumbs way, way down on this place.
