Me Myself and I

This is the worse Chinese Buffet that I have ever been too. I'll explain why...As soon as you walk in you can smell a foul odor like mold it's a strong unpleasant smell. You walk inside and you notice the very old carpeting with old stains. The booths in the restaurant are torn and old very uncomfortable to sit on. If you decide to use the restroom umm....well not a very nice or secure area in the back of restaurant. I feel anybody can just walk in there with you and it's unkept. Step into the buffet area and you notice little small piles of food sitting in the middle of the pan. Some are empty no food, the ones that do have food have been sitting the for a very long time the food is cold, dry,and stale. The waitress who is the owners wife does NOT bring out hot food because nobody goes there to eat. They don't want you getting seconds even if it's a buffet. If you do you will be asked to leave and never come back. Then you get charged extra for whatever food you got extra. So in conclusion....Dirty place, Nasty and smelly, Cold food, Mean waitress and Overpriced buffet. Not a good place to eat. (And people get sick eating there too)....No es un buen lugar para comer alli. Comida fria, Personal Malo, lugar Sucio.

It is unbelievable that this dog food is priced at $20 per person. My small daughter and I had 2 plates each, with waters $45 US Dollars!!!?? No AC, the tables were dirty. HOW IS THIS PLACE STILL OPEN? No way.

I have eaten here many times over the last 10 years and have always found the selection quite good, especially considering the price. The food is always warm and fresh and the service is friendly. They always are appreciate the business and are willing to go the extra mile to make your meal a nice experience. It's not a big super fancy place, but the food quality makes up for all the fancy trimmings. I can't wait to return.

It has been a long time since we have eaten here, but I am glad we did. The food was tasty even if it was close to closing time. It is a family business that treats their customers like family. Your order, your buffet, and the smiles are free.

Outside looks old but inside is better cardboard boxes behind window shades to control the sun? The food was hot and a good variety and it tasted fresh. Lots of food out for Friday night at 6 only two other couples there while we were. As a retired food inspector I’m kind of picky about old food on a buffet line. Taste was good nothing special almost $20.00 each with no drinks for a dinner I would expect better. This is a one and done for us. Only if their is nothing else available

We're locals and went to King Buffet for the first time. From the outside, the building looks a bit run down, but wasn't too bad inside. It was very clean, and our table and chairs looked newer.There weren't a lot of items, but still plenty to choose from, and a nice variety. Quite a few shrimp dishes which we liked. Everything we ate was warm and fresh, and they kept just enough food in each bin, and kept them replenished whenever they got too low. Nothing was overcooked, and was quite tasty. My dad loved the peanut chicken, and my wife loved the shrimp dishes, especially the salt & pepper shrimp, and we all really liked the butter shrimp & zucchini. The potstickers looked homemade and had a very nice flavor.They had a few selections in the fruit and salad bar (though not many salad toppings & only 1 choice of salad dressing that I saw), some mussels and peel & eat shrimp on ice, a few desserts (that my wife enjoyed), as well as several flavors of ice cream.Not a huge selection of sushi, but it makes sense on a slow night. It was all fresh, and mostly the basic choices. The seaweed salad was fresh and very good. I tried a mix of all 3 soups (wonton, egg drop, and hot & sour) and all were quite good. I also enjoyed the shrimp dishes, the pepper steak, and the dish with the big fresh mushrooms in it (I think beef or pork). The General Tso's Chicken was also tasty, though not too spicy. But if you like extra spice on your food, they had numerous choices of hot sauces.We went on a weekday, so it was a bit slow, though there were a few people that came in for takeout. The service was good, but it would be nice to at least see a smile on them. The price ($17.99/person) could probably be $1-$2 lower, but we didn't mind so much, given the number of shrimp dishes, everything tasted good, and I'm sure they're just trying to stay afloat, like many restaurants and small businesses rebounding from the pandemic. We'll certainly be back!
