Food quality went down, and the price went up since a few years ago. The waiters were also staring while we were eating. Not going here again.

Great Chinese heavy, pan-Asian buffet.
Visited on a Friday afternoon at about 1:00. Was not super busy, though more people showed up during the hour we were there. Good mix of patrons; working men, families, couples on dates, older folks, & the kind of diverse crowd you’d expect on any stretch of 82nd.
There is plenty of off-street parking in a secluded private lot with several cameras, super important given the neighborhood/lack of on-street parking. The building is also a gem. Super high ceilings in the secondary dining area & a nice wall of windows on the east side. There are no windows in the main dining area & it gives you that weird time-warp feeling when you leave. Interior is a bit dated & could use sprucing up, but a nice space that is kept immaculate & I do mean immaculate.
I say immaculate because this place is really clean. Always a great sign when you see people spot cleaning the dining room during an AYCE service. It wasn’t uncommon for a couple of employees to bring out a bucket & towels to clean the walls or fixtures, never mind tables. This level of attentiveness is shown to the buffet tables themselves, not a spot of sauce out of place anywhere on the line. This place comes by their 100% score from the Multnomah County Health Department honest. Staff were courteous & checked in frequently, plates were cleared promptly during our subsequent trips to the buffet.
The food is more or less what it should be. It was after the lunch rush, so the trays weren’t turning as fast as they would have if it was busy & I tempered my expectations for that reason.
That being said, everything that was fresh was great. Chinese meat dishes were well done, noodles & rice were good for the style of service. Most of the chicken had a strong hit of five spice. Not sure if it was brined or in the batter, but even the sweet & sour chicken tasted of it. It’s not bad, but for a dish that most Americans have a very specific expectation of, it’s probably unnecessary. It worked well with the skewers & stir fry dishes though. Pretty sure there was some fish or oyster sauce involved as well in the beef dishes, which was perfect.
I mostly stayed away from the seafood, but that’s because the hotel pans weren’t turning fast enough for my liking. I tried the crab rangoon & a crab bake stuffed in a scallop shell, both were a little too sweet on the palate, but they weren’t bad. Coconut shrimp & fried shrimp offerings were all good, worth the price of admission alone if you just wanted to just focus on those.
The vegetables, like the de rigueur string beans, were as they should have been. The broccoli in the stir fry dishes was also great. The salad bar looked perfectly reasonable, as did the edamame.
The stuff that wasn’t fresh, was of course, not great. I foolishly dove into the little bits of General Tso’s that had been out for a while when I arrived & it was mediocre. Thankfully, they re-upped it before I left & I got to try a large, just glazed piece; it was perfect. My partner had a white fish that suffered from the same problem.
Related, the sushi didn’t seem like a good idea. I probably would have gone for it during a busier service, but not on a slow afternoon. It wasn’t turning over at all, what was on offer had a patina of age to it that wasn’t being helped by the relatively warm environment at the back of the scramble that it was being held in. Ditto for the head-on shrimp, though they looked more reasonable. That being said, anyone who eats questionably presented sushi at a slow buffet gets what they deserve.
Only thing that was missing were Vietnamese offerings. I was expecting to at least see vermicelli noodles, pho broth or lemongrass chicken & was disappointed.
The price is exactly what it should be for the quality of food, pl

The restaurant looks obsolete from the outside. However the food is authentic Chinese flavored. The sushi bar is not its strength, but seafood and stir-fried dishes are awesome. the baked oysters flavored with ginger-scallions, tender pork ribs, various fish dishes, and unusual dishes like frog legs and escargot. Services is good, emptied plates were quickly removed, and food replenished.
We have visited during both lunch and dinner hours. It only cost less than $20 for lunch, super inexpensive. So far this is our go-to comparing to the other similar restaurants in the same neighborhood.

Super King Buffet is my top choice when I visit Portland.
The food is always hot, fresh n SUPER good, plates are always clean n the waiter is always super sweet! The place is always super clean n the place is always so cozy! It's great for a friend meet up, family dinner or just a small meeting! The deserts are always soo good. I could never have another place compare to Super King Buffet.

Although not Sushi oriented, it does have great hot food in Eastern Asian style with plenty of seafood selection. However, crabs are not fresh as can tell from the mushy texture of the meat. The interior can use a remodeling so it does not appear dungeon-like with low lighting. The seating area seems like the 80 and 90's retro atmosphere, especially the flooring, including the bathroom. Fresh cooks are replenished frequently and flavors are hitting the taste buds.
