" Chow King Buffet was good, but not without its flaws. The atmosphere was upbeat, but I did encounter some dirty dishes on our table when we arrived. The food itself was decent; it had a good selection, but the time it took to restock items was a bit lengthy. Service was attentive, but it would have been nice to feel less rushed. Despite this, we enjoyed the meal and left satisfied overall. They just need to focus more on cleanliness. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I were really looking forward to our visit, but we walked away feeling quite underwhelmed. The variety was there, but several dishes were cold and lacked flavor. I loved the lemon chicken at first, but some bites were very dry. We also experienced a bit of an awkward situation where the waiter kept hovering at our table for tips, which made us uneasy. I hope they can improve their quality control; I believe they can do better since the concept is solid. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chow King Buffet has become my go-to spot when I want a satisfying meal with variety. I was impressed by the clean setting and the friendliness of the staff. Everything from the spring rolls to the chicken teriyaki was done right. However, I noticed the dessert options were a bit lackluster—it would be great to see more sweet options. That being said, their savory dishes make up for it! I’ll continue to visit and support this local buffet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chow King Buffet is just an outstanding place for those who love buffets! The freshness of the food is remarkable, and I particularly enjoyed the sushi and the tempura veggies. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with friendly smiles from the staff. While the ambiance can feel busy during peak hours, I appreciate the hustle and bustle. It just adds to the lively experience. If you're in the area and craving a buffet, definitely check this one out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chow King last week and honestly, it did not live up to the hype. While I was excited to try out the various foods, I found that the fried noodles were overly salty and some of the chicken dishes were tough. I was particularly disappointed in the service; it felt as though the staff was more focused on tips than providing good service. After I finished my meal, the server pressured me for a larger tip, which left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame, as this place could be great if they improved food quality and service.

" Disappointing experience at Chow King! Initially, I was excited about the diverse options, but the execution fell short. The fried rice tasted stale, and I noticed that several dishes, especially in the seafood section, were not regularly replenished. On top of that, the atmosphere felt rushed, as waitstaff hovered around constantly checking for tips. I felt uncomfortable and pressured throughout my visit. This place has potential with its variety, but they need to work on food freshness and service etiquette to create a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I had the opportunity to visit Chow King Buffet & Grill last week, and I was blown away. The variety of food was incredible! From sushi to traditional Chinese dishes, everything was remarkably fresh. I especially enjoyed the garlic green beans which reminded me of authentic Chinese cuisine. The atmosphere was lively, and even though it was busy, I felt it added to the dining experience. I will definitely return when I'm back in the area! Highly recommend if you're looking for a buffet that doesn't skimp on quality. " (*Curated Review*)
