Ate here the other night....and 3.x star rating is unfair. For Spfd version of Chinese food....this place does a great job. This place is always busy....and yet....they keep stuff rolling out of the kitchen. Buffet items are always coming out of the kitchen fresh and hot. A good value for money spent here. read more

A lot of deep fried stuff was not all that great hard to chew meats icky people slobby

It's okay... the food wasn't great and I ended up just eating the same thing for dinner since the other offers were not good... I had a gift card so we ate for free, but would've been disappointed if we had to have paid read more

We have been to this restaurant, probably a dozen times at this point and it is always good. They have a great Mongolian area with lots of options, and their normal buffet has great options as well. The only thing that I wish they would do differently is include the potatoes on the buffet on the weekends and not just during the week. They do fries instead of the diced potatoes with onions on the weekends and it's just not my favorite. Aside from that, this place is really good. The service is always on point and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Restrooms are clean. Your experience is consistently good across all your visits. Highly recommend eating here. This is one of the cleanest and best cared for buffets that we have ever been to. Edited to add: The buffet is also constantly cleaned. They are always going through stirring the food, swapping it out for a fresh batch and dumping any extra food if it's been out at the time limit for the day. They are meticulous about this. It's one of the cleanest buffets I've ever been to. read more

5 stars because it excels at what it is. The Mongolian grill and sushi rolled fresh on site are bonuses to the consistently high quality food that's always fresh. The menu never changes, but that's OK. It takes 5 visits to try everything anyway. Staff are attentive and the drinks never go empty, the plates get picked up immediately. If you want some seriously authentic Chinese, I'll take you to Corner 21, but I have been to Asian King about twice a month for the last 15 years. Don't forget to slip a couple buck in the jar for the sushi chef and for the waiters. read more

Always good. It's our go to buffet in town for years. Service is so friendly and the place is always clean

Food is fresh and has always been tasty. Staff is nice and efficient. The restaurant is a bit worn but the buffet is kept clean.

The food at Asian King Buffet in Springfield, Missouri, was mediocre, with limited flavor and variety. The ambiance was average.

Crab rangoon is definitely worth it. Nice and light. I'm picky about hot and sour soup. It was spot on. Sushi, though not very large was perfect to be able to try all of them. The wasabi was spot on. Was helped right away. No waiting. The lighting was very nice, not to bright, not to dim. The music is easy to listen to. Not too loud. Overall, a very good experience. read more

Customer service was awesome, the staff was very attentive and efficient. They made sure the dining room was always clean. The food was hot and fresh, but the taste overall was mid (most were very oily). I had previously looked at the old pictures of the menu that mentioned it was $8.99 per adult, but turns out it was $14.99. This is my personal opinion, I think it is a little overpriced for how the food tasted. read more

The food made me sick. I'd rather go to another restaurant in town that has better standards of cleanliness and freshness that won't send me running for the restroom. read more

This was my 1st time trying to use my bariatric post opt card. See pic. The restaurant would not honor it and would have charged a full price adult meal. Sadly, I sat and watched my family and will grab something later. The food wasted from the plates around me was at triple the amount I would have eaten and was willing to pay the child's meal price. Overall it was the same Ole Asian buffet that we have 2 states over. read more

The absolute best Chinese buffet in Springfield. Been going here for almost a decade and it is always very fresh and delicious. They are very attentive to keeping your drinks full and your empty plates gone. It's a moderate selection but it's all the food that you would want from a buffet without any of the things that only a few people want which let's them really focus on the quality of the food they have. I will always choose this restaurant over any other Chinese buffet in the area. read more

My wife and I really like this place. It reminds of the food we had before we moved here. I know a lot of people love the Springfield Cashew Chicken, but there's more to like out there and this place has it. Great Mongolian grill. read more

They have the best and fresh food always clean staff wonderful and they care for you like family. They also have a buffett for seniors on Tuesday and Thursday you really need to go check them.out read more

food is really good , seat took a while but was very clean and comfortable, service was great and nice read more

Husband and I ate there for the 1st time Friday nite Aug.30,2024 food was not hot at all ,it was like room temperature horrible .and for what it cost ,and have it cold not worth the 42.00 an change. No star for this place but since it won't post without 1, I gave 1 star read more

Average selection of foods. Not tasty. Meat was inconsistently cooked. Noisy. Will not be returning.

This place is never going to win awards for amazing gourmet Chinese food but for a variety of decent dishes, it's good stuff. I recommend their crab Rangoon, stuffed mushrooms and sautéed green beans pretty highly. Attentive staff too. read more

Shameful treatment of customers. Ive eaten here about 8 times. Food was always respectable for a fair price. After you eat they bring your ticket, you take it to a lady sitting at a desk by the exit door, pay and go. Today, I did the same as normal, taking the ticket to the desk with my family, and three people ran to the door. One baracaded herself between me, my wife, and my son and the door like we were trying to dine and dash. The other stood next to us, and the third went behind the desk to take payment. Ive never stolen a thing in my life. How humiliating! We're not thieves. Maybe this place had someone do that before, but thats not us. This is discrimination. We won't be back. They're running off their own customers. read more

So the food here is hit or miss like most buffets. It's pretty limited on options, they put the crab out really slow and everyone swoops in and steals it as soon as they put it out. The place is dirty and the servers seem like they hate everyone. With all that being said, I still kind of love this place. It's the cheapest way to get your seafood fix and stuff yourself. I usually go here once a week and hate myself for it. But I'm glad it exists read more

Literally everything was cold except for the soups and sauces, the don't have a huge selection of things and the food was very bland.... Would not recommend coming here at all! I paid $13 for the dinner buffet and I think that is over priced for the food you receive here! read more

Friends of ours introduced us to this place. They swore it was one of their favorite Chinese buffets. While it doesn't look like much walking in, the amount or food is deceivingly bigger than you initially think. Not only that but it is really good. Chicken sticks are really good. Thats a first for me. Ive been to plenty of Chinese buffets but this had a specific food on the buffet that stuck out As something special. They were exceptionally good! Over all the food was better than expected and the staff very kind and helpful. Definitely has become one of my favorites In Springfield. read more

I have no idea why this place is a 2.5 star restaurant. My family and I came here cause we love Asian food. I have to tell you this place was the BOMB, the food was fresh and hot, nothing was cold, there servers for the buffet kept up, even the crab legs were kept up and you don't see that at all. The frog legs were fresh as well and so darn good, there wait staff was friendly and they cleaned off the table from the dishes as soon as you were done. The ombiance in the restoration was fantastic, you were greeted at the door with a smile and say right away. The restaurant was packed people just kept coming in as fast as they were leaving. I just want to say that I highly recommend this Asian buffet. If you're in the area from out of town, you need to stop. You will not be disappointed at all. read more

Accidentally Vegan Friendly They have a Mongolian BBQ so that is an easy vegan friendly option where there are language barriers. Other than the French fries, nothing on the buffet appeared vegan as all the vegetables had dead animals in them or were cooked in butter. No real salad bar other than lettuce and a melon option. About 5 vegetables to choose from and some noodles to do the BBQ. Portion size-5 stars because all you can eat Service-5 stars Price-average Appears clean, gloves for customers, masks worn by staff and by customers when away from their tables. Will be back. read more

My husband and I ate here during the buffet. We were pleasantly surprised by how good and fresh the food was. There was also a decent sushi bar. The mini crab rangoons were amazing! The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The price was also fair. This is our new favorite Chinese buffet. read more

Food was very hot and tasty. And the waitress would always grab your plates right when you put it down and would always fill your drinks up right away. Fast and fresh they remake their food every single hour. read more

Nice clean and friendly restaurant. Wide choices of buffet items all kept warm and delicious. Price is inexpensive, and you can eat as much as you want. read more

I'm not a big buffet fan. But we wanted Asian one day and came here cause we were starving. I didn't expect much, I'm aware buffets do not have high quality food. But this place was actually really good! Best Asian buffet I've been to! Tasted just as good as a sit down restaurant. read more

Food is alright. Nothing to write home about. My one big gripe about this place is the "seafood dinner" they have on Friday and Saturday nights. It's basically the bottom of the barrel pick of crab legs that they bring out. Very. Very. Slowly. Oldest trick in the restaurant business. They honestly bring out about five or six small racks, half of which are single legs about eight inches long every five minutes or so. If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'. Maybe other reviewers can corroborate this review. Any other day of the week...ya, I'd say go for it, the food is with $10 for dinner read more

Not sure why this place gets such horrible reviews. The wife and I went because I heard they had crab legs included in the $11.99 price; so we went based on that. The place was packed! Could have been cleaner, but people were pouring in as fast as they were coming out! The buffet had a large range of dishes for the price. The only issue I found is they bring out crab legs every 15 minuets. Some people are literally setting as close as possible because it's all they're eating! The hot food was hot, and the cold food was on ice. They have hibachi, and some pretty terrible sushi, but for $12 you could get an entire plate of crab legs and the buffet would pay for its self. I didn't care for the general chicken, or clams, but everything else was pretty good. I'd definitely go back for the crab legs! read more

The food was not that good, the chicken was soggy, a lot of the food was either cold or lukewarm, over all food wise one of the worst buffets I have been to. The service was ok but it's a buffet so not like they had a lot to do. They did keep my drinks filled I will say that. Over all I wouldn't come back to this place if they paid me. Over priced at almost $18.00 for dinner. So for those reading this and thinking about coming here to eat. Run the other way and try and find something else and this isn't a place you want to come to. read more

The food was quite yummy and plentiful. Servers were nice and smiling. Wonderful experience.

Need a great lunch well Springfield has the Asia King Buffet. Great food, great price and my kids love it to and my kids wont eat anything normal but they love this place because they can pick what they want. read more

My family and I go here everything we go to Springfield. Sometimes we even find a reason to go just for the heck of it. Great buffet selection, great covid adjusting, and great service! read more

The food is very good, and they keep it fresh on the buffet. The service is friendly and prompt. The ambience is kind of poor, because the place needs a fresh coat of paint and some updates. read more

We drove to this location from Branson because all of the Asian buffets in Branson were closed for the 4th of July. My wife has had gastric bypass surgery so she cant eat much ( maybe 4-6 ozs of food) she also has a medical card stating this and it says she should be charged a childs buffet price. Long story short the lady asked her how many plates of food she was going to eat and then watched her fix my grandsons plate and generally made my wife mad because they didn't trust her so my wife ended up not eating at all and for me and my 4 year old grandson to eat still cost 24 dollars . It is not worth the price read more

Would never eat there again. Food extremely far from fresh, everything overcooked and dry, totally flavorless dishes. Carpeting on the floor is so filthy. Not worth 10 cents, let alone $12. read more

Amazing food I am a regular. They are always very kind to us and we are always seated quickly. The art and decorations and the food presentation is spectacular. read more

They didn't have any rice I didn't like the way everything was laid out but nothing can be done my complaint is about how me and my friend got food poisoning from the food the cashew chicken tasted seafoodie read more
