China King Buffet

Chinese Restaurant $ 4.1 (1617)


China King Buffet offers a mixed dining experience that leans towards American interpretations of Chinese food.

" My friends hosted a reunion dinner here, and I was pleasantly surprised! While the decor was a bit outdated, the food offered a ton of different flavors. My favorites were the sweet and sour fish and the various dumpling options on the buffet. The staff did well overall, though we had to remind them for drink refills. Still, it made for a great evening filled with laughter and food. Definitely a place to consider for group dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a hidden gem! I stumbled upon China King Buffet during a road trip and was amazed at the variety of dishes. The sushi bar was adequately stocked, and the hibachi grill had a great selection. My favorite had to be the egg drop soup; it was hot and very flavorful. The desserts were a nice surprise too! Everything tasted fresh, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to any sushi lover traveling through the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a mixed experience! The ambiance of China King Buffet had a typical buffet feel, which is fine, but many items were just lukewarm. The crab rangoon was served perfectly, but the sweet and sour sauce was far too sweet, drowning out any flavor. Also, when I inquired about drink specials, the server just shrugged—it’s not the service I expect. I may give it another shot, but I’ll stick to the basics next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at China King Buffet was disappointing. The chicken fried rice I ordered was bland, and the crab rangoon had an unsettling aftertaste. Service was slow, and the staff seemed overwhelmed with a busy crowd. I stayed hopeful for a better outcome, but the quality of food didn’t match what I heard from others. It’s unlikely I will return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ordered takeout after hearing great things from friends. They raved about the Mongolian beef, so I had to try it. While the dish was decent, I was left hanging due to the odd flavors. It kept changing from sweet to overwhelmingly salty. The fried rice was also bland. For the price, I expected higher quality. However, I will say the interaction over the phone was pleasant! Maybe a better experience dining in would yield different results. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love China King Buffet, but I feel like it's gone downhill lately. The food was not up to par—the portions were smaller, and the flavors just weren't as vibrant. The service was also lacking; our server seemed disinterested and slow. Maybe it was just an off day, but I didn't have the best experience. I'll think twice before returning; perhaps it's time for a different buffet adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best buffet in the area for comfort food! I’ve visited a few times now, and I always leave feeling satisfied and full. The atmosphere is relaxed, and I must mention their sweet tea is delightful! The crab legs are my absolute favorite! A tad on the pricey side compared to what I am used to in the area, but the quality is worth it. I’ll keep coming back for those legs! " (*Curated Review*)
