    One of two buffet lines.

    About 10-15 years ago these types of all you can eat Chinese buffets were on every corner. Frankly it's how we afforded to eat out during our boys teenage years. This one is exactly like all those used to be, right down to the exact same staple of standard offerings they all seemed to have. So you can imagine the nostalgic excitement upon running into this place on a road trip. One price includes all the food and a fountain drink. The food is endless and all the dishes are good. Think along the lines of Panda Express quality. Relaxed atmosphere good for kids. If you are a young family in effingham you need to add this place to your rotation.

    Not entirely sure why this place has only 3.5 star??? I'm from Houston,Texas and visiting Effingham for work. We have a ton of options for Chinese cuisine and buffet. This place ranks among some our top options for those categories. The food was great, fresh and hot! I came later for their normal business hours (around 8ish) and everything was still great quality. Being a small buffet there was plenty of options for you choose from and like stated most dishes where on point to taste. These service was friendly and seemed to be on point when asked for something. The place was nice and clean along with the buffet area. Seems to me while I was here there was mix of locals and visitors which is a good sign to me of decent food and service. This place definitely needs more 5 star reviews!!

    They have 2 buffet lines. One even has sushi! All of the negative reviews are several years old. We stop in Effingham every year the service and food is always good.

    Food was hot. Good selection. Overall good taste, however the mussels were over cooked and chewy.

    If you haven't tried the Crazy Salmon Roll from China King, you haven't lived yet. Seriously --…read moreit's that good. Fresh, rich salmon wrapped in a perfect balance of flavor and texture that hits every craving you didn't even know you had. The place itself is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out fast and piping hot. You can tell they care about quality -- everything from the sushi to the moo goo gai pan is spot-on. But that Crazy Salmon Roll? That's next-level. I've eaten sushi all over, and somehow this little spot in Vandalia nailed it better than most big-city places. Do yourself a favor: skip the usual, order the Crazy Salmon Roll, and thank me later. You haven't truly lived until you've had one.

    We decided to stop in China King for a sitdown meal on a recent road trip and are happy we did…read more There's a good amount of seating both tables and booths. We sat down and a waitress came to us for our drink orders and our food order. She was friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the meal, refilling drinks, and asking if we needed anything. Our food came out quickly. It was hot. It was fresh and it tasted good. Two people in our family ordered the general Tao and we really liked the sauce. The crab Rangoon's were a nice size with a good amount of filling. Overall we were very happy with our meal and left satisfied.
