We called to that place to find out till when they are having the lunch and the lady told us that the lunch is up to 3pm. We were driving there from Queens, normally the time to travel there by car is 45 minutes but it was traffic that day and we arrived at 3pm and they refused us to sale the lunch after 1 hour driving for far away! Shame of you China Buffet King! This was very bad business decision!!! read more

Not the best food. Food was a bit stale with no taste at all. Service was lackluster with the waitress being rude and sweeping my feet. Zero ambiance stay clear you are better off going to BK down the block or the Pizza shop across the street. Go at your own risk. read more

Plenty of food, affordable and clean. Good for a Sunday lunch. Food not much difference between lunch and dinner.

Found this place randomly on Yelp while searching for a Chinese buffet, so we decided to try it out. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by their $10 lunch special. With covid still a very huge issue we loved that they had gloves available for each round of serving and plastic over hangs at the food stations. We did see someone walking around with their mask below their nose and the staff nicely asked her to put it on properly and directed others to use gloves. This made me feel super comfortable during this uncertain time. Now onto the food review, I can honestly say there was not 1 thing I didn't like. They had a great variety for a cheap lunch and kept everything full and hot. Going to a buffet you don't expect 5 star food, but We happily finished all 4 plates we each made. Service is awesome! They kept my drink full and the table clean of empty plates. The only reason I am taking a star off is because of the ice cream. They only have the small styrofoam cups with minimal flavor options. Most of the cups had chips knocked out of them which made me question the sanitation. Plus what's a Chinese food buffet without the self serve ice cream with huge bar of toppings? Overall a great experience and we will be returning. read more

The food was meh, not worth it. The selection wasn't great either. The dessert was ATROCIOUS. No ice cream machine, just these little haggard, over frozen, poorly tasting ice cream cup "flavors." Just an overall miserable buffet experience. read more

This is I think my 7th visit (first time at night). I didn't expect such good food for a buffet lol Tasty and reasonably priced. Not the best customer service though. Good for groups, families and hey, there's a couple in the corner making lovey eyes! It's walking distance from home so yeah, I'll be back again and again and again. The End. read more

China Buffet King - Chinese Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

The food is great, the service is great also, my family visits it every week, we feel very relax in this restaurant

Truly not great. I guess it's good for the $15 dinner buffet price, but honestly, only if you know nothing about actual Chinese food. My family loved it, but for me, there's no quality, which again, I guess you should expect. I feel like the flavors are off unless it's the basic fried stuff, sometimes they're not cooked enough or cooked wayy too much. I would recommend this if you don't really have high standards on food, but if you're used to eating authentic, high quality chinese food, this really won't do it for you. I definitely wouldn't come back ever again, but my older family would so do with that what you will. read more

China Buffet King - a plate of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

This buffet is so good ! We came here today for lunch and it was a great experience . I've never been to a buffet in LI ; the food is good . They have this green tea that makes you not get to full to easily which is great since there is so much food to eat . We were 5 ppl and surprisingly it was $52! Husband and I were so shocked ! If we only had car we would come here more often . Let's hope we get our friends to give us a ride again soon . FYI: Wish I took pictures but we were so hungry I forgot ! read more

The staff was great, but the food was by far the most awful thing I've ever tasted. Even the soda was old and tasted stale as if they haven't cleaned the fountain in a long time. it's pretty small so don't expect much. Anyhoo as I stated previously great staff ,awful food. read more

5 stars! This is my favorite Chinese buffet! I've been coming here for almost 6 years and my husband and I just love it. The food is extremely delicious!!!! Everything is fresh and packed with flavor. They have a variety of so many things. They even have a sushi section with fresh sushi and sauces. Also, their salad bar is a plus. My regular dishes are the Garlic shrimp, string beans, mushrooms, and the potatoes. The potatoes are sooooo tasty. My only dislike is the fountain sodas that they offer. It tastes "ok" but it's not horrible. They're good for large groups and I always see people hold parties there in the party room. This buffet never disappoints. I definitely recommend read more

My family and I just visited on for dinner. For a Chinese buffet the price is reasonable but the food is just average. The food is all the standard stuff you will find in most Chinese buffets. The space inside is very tight. There is very little room to seat comfortably or move around; especially after everyone eats. The food turned over quick this night I visited so everything is freshly cooked. Service can be better. The waiters were very slow at cleaning up and were not attentive. The location is easy to get to. . Parking lot was crowd but space is available as people are constantly leaving. There are not many tables for large families. The most you can seat is eight. I would go back but it is not on the top of my list of buffets. Washroom- low average. read more

If I could give no stars I would .

The food was room temperature/cold , the plates smelled like bleach and they taxed us and extra $4 for each drink they refilled. Overpriced for the worst experience read more

Honestly, one of the best tasting buffets I have ever been to. I'm not saying it taste like a Michelin start chef prepared the food, but everything tastes good in my opinion. I come here almost every Tuesday for lunch (11am-3:30) which costs $7.99 and dinner is $12.99. Dinner includes shrimp in a tasty thick coconut sauce and crab legs of course. I would recommend coming here! Make sure you leave a tip, because they will ask lol. read more

This restaurant has the WORST customer service I have ever experienced. They overcharged me by $7.00 on a $3.46 meal. Once I realized the overcharge, I went back to get my money. The manager got angry and refused to give me my money back. She also refused to comp me anything to make up for their robbery. She called me a liar, was rude, and insulting. I will never go here again. Learn from my mistakes and don't overpay for mediocre Chinese food. read more

I really liked this place however,I had to post this.I recommended this place to friends and as we arrived we were immediately seated which is good.But no sooner than I was seated and grabbed a meal.I saw against the wall a mother roach.Digusted I killed it and gave the host the tissue to throw away.As I sat down the lights flicked and went off.So bad to worst.I kept my cool because I did not want to embrass myself but I told management that their kids here and we should tidy up the place.She really didnt seem like she cared.To be honest I will no longer go there and if I were you.You should go elsewhere specially if you have kids.This place is no longer sanitary and should be investigated. read more

Cold same food for years basic nothing new the only reason to go there is for the crab legs

Why is this place so dirty? This is a standard Chinese buffet stuff which makes them not so special. They do have stone crabs which I saw a lot of people get. Their price is reasonable. When the restaurant is that dirty, usually the kitchen is dirty as well. I am not sure if I feel safe eating in China Buffet King. There are many chances that you can get cross contamination. I saw one of the employees remove the old food tray and put the new one in and pour the old food on top of the new food. I know for fact that they are not supposed to do that. I know it might not be a big deal to some of you, but can you imagine if they do not follow this rule what else do they do inside the kitchen? However, the service was quick and our plates were removed before we came back to our seats. It is cheap so if you have a big family, that would be good for you. It's an okay buffet, but can definitely clean it up a bit. Crab legs draw a lot of people to this place. read more

Chinese buffets are rarely good, but there's something about this place that kept me going back for more. Maybe it was the fact that it meant quality time with my brother, or that we reveled in how bad it was -- maybe we just forgot and it was convenient, decently priced, and that they have a wide variety of food that's been sitting out for a bit of time. It's not that I wouldn't recommend it -- here's what I think: if your expectations are low, you're looking to eat a large quantity of sub-par "Chinese" dishes, and you want to leave feeling full (and maybe like you shouldn't have eaten this much), then this is the place for you. You'll hate yourself for going, but you'll want to go back. I know, it's weird. read more

Nothing spectacular, however I will say there was -ample seating -a nice selection of food Sushi, octopus, crab legs and they also pizza, mashed potatoes and roast beef -the staff was ok... Like I said nothing spectacular, not sure if I'd be going back read more

Food made me sick very rude employees demanding a large tip taxes everyone individually and food is not that good

Poor selection, no hibachi grill, sushi is not fresh and looks brown on the edges. Cooked salmon tasted off. Desserts were mediocre and cookies tasted powdery. 1 star for the food, extra star is for the friendly wait staff. read more

Dine or Ditch? Dine (hardly)... Your fortune says "it will be ok" Honestly, I was on the fence with this place. I've been here a number of time. My grandparents really enjoy it and to be honest, it's not bad for a cheap Chinese buffet. That said, don't expect a high caliber experience. This is really a perfect example of "you get what you pay for." Having been here time and time again I will say the soups I've had (wonton, egg drop, hot and sour) are usually good. They tend not to keep the wonton in stock so if you want it you may have to find someone to ask for more. As for the rest of their food, I have explored a fair amount and I've found the basics are usually on par. Egg rolls, chicken skewer, shrimp toast, and dumplings are all good apps. I've also found their standard Chinese dishes to be good. Lo mein, general tao, chicken and broccoli, steak and peppers, BBQ ribs, virtually anything within that realm of food. The fruits and desserts are all good. They find good bananas and watermelon and it's nice to get to finish the meal on a healthy note. Less healthy options, if you're just looking to go all out, such as the soft serve ice cream, apple pie, or the sugar doughballs (oddly near the egg rolls and other apps) are also a nice treat. On the flip side I would advise against anything that doesn't seem to fit. Pizza, pigs in a blanket, odd crab dishes, mashed potatoes that are probably just out of a bag, and some others. Even the sushi doesn't really strike me as something they should really be offering. Really if you stand there and go "odd, they have (insert food you wouldn't expect)?" just don't take it. There are a couple things that bother me. One is the hoops you need to jump through to get their attention for another pot of tea or glass of water. It seems like it's almost intentional that they avoid you in hopes you just give up. The other thing is they ALWAYS try to cheat you on the bill. Often they will add things (like today we were charged the dinner rate at 2pm) and they will never take off for seniors despite the fact that my grandparents are there weekly and my grandmother is in her 80s. It's just a bit annoying that they act like they've forgotten each time. Ultimately, don't come here with high expectations and you won't be disappointed. It's fine for what it is, but nothing more than that. read more

China Buffet King - a variety of food items - Chinese Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

This place is on the smaller side. But that wasn't the problem. There are two reasons for this negative review and that's 1. I asked for hot water for my babies bottle and whatever she brought me tasted like rust. It was really Bad. 2. She stood there after I signed my check showing me the tip recommendations as if I don't know how to tip. I've worked service most of my life and I found this very unprofessional and rude. The food wasn't all good either. read more

I've been going to this place since I was little. Very yummy food and good service. Great for having lunch or dinner with friends or family.

I can only be honest about this place. 1. Food. For the price you pay, you get "okay" tasting food. I've been to other buffets and had better food. I enjoy their Sushi but I've also had better. I enjoy their chicken and broccoli with white rice, really good and it's mostly what I order. 2. Workers. The workers are really good, they are energetic and friendly. Manager, she is not so friendly. She's a reason why I do not drop by often. When I spend my money, I want to feel welcome and appreciated. I enjoy a person who can laugh and make their customers feel happy as they spend their money. However, this manager is way too serious, she looks stressed, and does not smile. She can act a bit fake with her how she comes off at times, you just can tell she wants you to get out. I remembered asking her what's the reason for the price jump because I was curious, it felt like I shouldn't have asked her or I should have already known the price they charged. It was really uncomfortable. If she hadn't swiped my card, I would have walked out and found another spot. 3. Location. Very clean. Can be crowded, during the week it's pretty empty. Overall: This place is not your typical spot to enjoy. I would not recommend coming her quite often. If you are hungry and do not feel like traveling a far distance, drop by. My family loved spending their money here, but we've cut back. This manager just does not fit well with business and if it fails, I'd blame it on her. I really think in today's world, customers deserve great appreciation. Sometimes, customers have a hard day and all we need is a "Smile," a "How are you? How's your day? ETC." I know that tomorrow, I will not be dropping by. I'd rather spend my money somewhere else and receive great customer service. However, I will be back. Just to grab food and get out and not come back until I am severely hungry. (: read more

This is really a 2.5 It's a little seedy, a touch dive-y, and a kinda dirty looking pace, but if you're looking for a place to pile up on decent Chinese-American fare akin to homey take-out food this is it! This is the place to satisfy your inner glutton not your inner connoisseur of high quality food. The food here is basic, good, and you'll get a decent meal. Lunch is really cheap, I think it's under $10 and dinner is a little more All you can eat crab legs for dinner. There's sushi but I'm a little skeptical of eating sushi here. Stuffed clams, pigs in blankets, and fried rice are my go to dishes! Service is OK. Space was OK to me, not sure what the other reviewer was talking abut but I didn't fee it was tight or cramped at all. I like coming here when I'm starving and yearning for some good ole greasy Chinese-American cuisine. Tip: There's parking in the back. read more

I too cannot understand how the single poor review on this place was written. The reviewer must have been at another restaurant! The food here is excellent and the place is clean. You absolutely cannot go wrong with the dinner buffet for $11 or $12 with crab legs,coconut shrimp, cherrystone clams, sushi, barbq ribs, steamed clams, duck and half crabs etc etc on the buffet and lunch is only $8. The staff is OK and that is the only drawback - they are not the friendliest I've met and sometimes hover over a diner to make sure someone that paid for lunch is NOT eating dinner items. All in all very well worth it and at the top of Chinese buffets of the many I have experienced. read more

2.5 stars would be more accurate. Better than average low-end Chinese buffet sincerely tries to cover all the bases (sushi, raw bar, steamed crab legs & even whole crabs and all the old school favorites, plus desserts). But you can only expect so much for $12.95 (and that's the weekend cost). Discerning gourmets stay clear--this is basic all you can eat Oriental fare (plus pizza & fries) but in the realm of strip mall Chinese buffets, I've had worse, lots worse. Steam table is filled with familiar items: lo mein, chicken & veggies, lots of shrimp dishes, soups, pepper steak, all on par with average take out fare. True plus is the select-it-yourself, grilled to order hibachi. Assemble your fresh veggies, chicken, noodles, shrimp or beef (stay clear of the steak, strictly Tad's fare) and let the "chef" grill it with or without sauces or salt. Best for those who want no surprise ingredients. A nice plus is the dessert area (an afterthought on most such buffets). Soft serve actually tasted like the flavor indicated on the sign. Nice selection of relatively fresh fruit (including cherries when in season), decent puddings, Jello and Li'l Debbie quality cakes. Atmosphere is above average, brightly lit and relatively clean (bathrooms are another matter, but hopefully you didn't come here to spend time in the bathroom). Weekends do get crowded but waits and din are acceptable. Service is typically over efficient with empty plates swooped up before the fork hits the table. For undiscriminating locals, worth a monthly visit. More than that and you are REALLY undiscriminating. read more
