Chow King Grill & Buffet Restaurant

Great buffet at a great price.

My brother and I stopped by for lunch on 6/18/25. The food looked good on the buffet, but every single item we tried was old, cold, or barely warm. The okra was greasy and overcooked, the fried chicken tasted like it had been sitting for hours and it was 1 pm. The shrimp were not deveined, and the dinner rolls were hard on the bottom. Even the cream puffs tasted old. I will not be returning.

Good food.

My family and I were dining here with one of my son's friends. After getting his first plate, he sat down briefly and used his phone. When he returned from getting a second plate, his phone was gone. We searched the area and called the phone, but it had been turned off.

I asked the staff if a phone had been turned in, and they said no. I also asked about checking the security cameras, but was told the person with access was out of the country. They took our number and called the next day to say no one was seen near our table. I forgot to ask if they could see the buffet. However my call went unaswered.

After this, we found a Facebook post with multiple people reporting missing items at this location, including phones, an iPad, and even a claim of an employee taking money from a purse.

This experience, combined with those other reports and the lack of follow-up, left us very uneasy. I hope management improves communication and security moving forward

Really busy and crowded, but the food and service was great

Great food
Great service
They have a selection for all diet types

Some of food was good. But allot we tried tasted like sand was in it, Bad flavor and not very warm. I also spent the night in the bathroom. We went on June 12th after lunch. Will not be going back.

Visiting this area from Florida and worth the hour drive . The price is unbelievable for the food in a good way. Fresh food in a great atmosphere with outstanding service. You really can’t pass up this place .

If yall have children 11 or older they are charging adult price for them even when there website says they don't. And if your military or a veteran they will only take off $1 after you have to argue with them about it. My family use to love coming here but the food quality has gone down and the price keeps going up. We won't be coming back there anymore

Chow King is always good, just not great. We eat there several times a year when the family wants Chinese, mainly because of the many buffet items. Good selection; like I said it's always good, just not great

Had hair in food that wasn't ours and upon looking at it they tried arguing and then tried to make us pay for the food although we lost our appetite due to the hair on food and literally followed us out to our car pushing us which we have on video and taking a picture of our plate. Only reason why we didn't pay is due to this nasty hair. We have ate there before and paid. Will be going to police and making a report in am. What a ruined Christmas

Best buffet in dothan by far. Never over crowded. But plenty of ppl to not feel desolate.

Daughter got food poison

There’s something for everyone to eat and enjoy at the buffet … authentic fare and a very reasonable price. When in Dothan, AL, and in the mood for Chinese cuisine, try it out.
