Ate here on a Sunday at 12:30PM. Immediately seated, food was hot and plentiful (3 rows of hot and cold dishes), lots of variety for those picky eaters, attentive staff. It is dated but I ain't eating the walls or seating so whatever. Yay! Coke products! A couple of options for dessert, but I am not into sweets. Restrooms are big, clean and smell-free. Highly recommended!! Sorry no pics there were a lot of people here. read more

This place was horrible, the food was salty, there were plenty if heath code violations, and the only time they spoke perfect English was when we were paying, do not come here. read more

Do not waste your money eating here. I am in from out of town and love the Chinese buffets. This was horrible, almost all of the items were cold or old. Nothing tasted as it should. Very sorry I stopped here read more

Typical Chinese buffet. Nothing too good or too bad. I liked the Stir fry beans and coconut shrimp. The lo mein was oily and tasteless. The sugar donut had no sugar so it was just bits of fried dough. There was no ice cream - just the usual canned fruit, jello and sliced cake. I wish the staff would thoroughly wipe down the chairs, tables and utensils because everything was sticky. The buffet cost was not worth it. I'd have paid $13 for the meal but not more. read more

This was a gem, great quality buffet lots of choices. Great service. Many Chinese buffets all taste the same and it's usually that freezer taste. Well not here. If I'm ever back in this area I will definitely be back making it rain at the China King! Also If you ever need furniture you should try their new establishment Sofa King Furniture! read more

China King Buffet - A buffet mcmuffin! - Chinese Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Family was craving Chinese food while in the North Shore so gave this place a shot. The place is located in a strip mall and runs about what you would expect from that situation. Inside is a little worn out but the food is hot and restocked quickly keeping most things fresh. My wife was excited to see sushi but it was not really that great. Some highlights were the Chicken Meatballs, Coconut Shrimp, and Peppered Steak. Ice cream is also available for dessert which makes the bang for your buck ratio better than just getting a stale cookie for dessert. Not many choices in the area so this place won't impress visually or aesthetically but it will satiate the craving. read more

China King Buffet - a plate of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Tiny buffet in a strip mall at the end of the parking lot. The parking lot is full of potholes, so hopefully you watch where you are going. The buffet has all the standard Chinese American favorites like General Tso Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Doughnuts, Sesame balls, garlic greenbeans, egg rolls and Pepsi products. When you get into the restaurant, you walk right into the dining room. Surprising lay out. The items were surprisingly spicy. Its Northern MN so I am shocked. Pros Come here for battered fried Americanized Chinese food. Cons Don't come for the service or the quality of authentic Chinese and you'll still leave full. Anyways, if you don't expect much.. but fast Chinese.. you picked the right place. I asked for Chili Oil and the server said she'd bring it. I finished my meal and she didn't remember. Oh well. My husband and I came during a weekday dinner. There was maybe a max of 15 people including waitstaff in the restaurant. So they weren't busy but they know their clientele which is that they serve Americans with big appetites for fried chicken wings, egg rolls and Americanized Chinese. Come in sweats and you'll fit right in. read more

China King Buffet - Reception - Chinese Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Zero 's if I could. OVERPRICED. Undercooked/Overcooked Food. most was inedible. do not go. read more

Having frequented many Asian buffets in the Twin Cities over the past 30 years I can say with confidence that China King is very good...BUT, not for dinner! My daughter and I have been eating lunch here for several years and it's always busy, the service is great, and the food delicious. One night we happened to stop in for dinner. We were prepared for the higher cost, but dismayed by the reduced buffet selection - no soup or vegetables! Some of the things I normally get, like Mongolian beef and General Tso's chicken, were completely different and definitely not tastier. We never got our bill so we just went to the register to pay. The two older women behind the counter took our money without even looking at us or thanking us for coming in. They just kept talking to each other. Lunch is wonderful, though! read more

Only give one star because I have to. I will never step foot in this establishment again after tonight. We brought our family to your restaurant tonight for dinner on my birthday. My kids love your food and always eat so much. Tonight, we arrived at approximately 7:30 pm, 90 minutes before closing time. Their buffet table with entrees was almost completely empty. They did not bring any additional food out until I asked them at about 8:15, by which point I was too disgusted to even eat any more. The woman was extremely rude. The sales tax they charge is greater than that of the city of Duluth. We regularly bring our family there for dinner because there's something for everyone, but going forward, we'll be going elsewhere. read more

Excellent! We are on vacation in Duluth and decided to try this restaurant. Delicious!! Our food was hot and the buffet had lots of "standard" foods to choose from. We were seated quickly and our sodas were on the table before we returned from the buffet. $11.92 per adult for supper. read more

Foods always cold. Doesn't taste good. Seems like the food sits out until it's finished even if it's hours later. Staff is not very nice. I'm honestly surprised that this place is still open. read more

You get exactly what you pay for here. The food is always fresh, the host and cashier are always courteous and prompt, and it's a great value for the price. The crab wontons are the best in Duluth and as good as anywhere. Several other dishes that are nearly perfect. read more

The food has consistently been cold since new management has taken over, but today's visit was the straw that broke the camel's back. My g/f and I went to China King Buffet at 2:30 during the lunch menu time. we had already received our bill while we were eating, when there was a changeover to the dinner menu. So I took one plate with 6 fried shrimp, and one of the workers brings me over a new bill with the dinner price! I told her I was not going to pay the dinner price and the manager said OK, but when I went to pay, the manager took my card and lunch price ticket but ran the dinner price , which I noticed just before I signed the bill. Very sneaky. We're never going back again. read more

Very good Chinese buffet experience! Definitely will come back again! Clean and wonderful customer service!

Definitely one of the worst buffets I have taken students to. Upcharged on drinks and tip because groups of 5 or more get a 10% upcharge. The only food that was decent was the fried potatoes. So far 3 from our group complained of stomach problems. There was a table just outside the buffet where they were putting together cream cheese wonton. All ingredients were just on the table in the open while we dined (45 minutes). Need to get a health official there Pronto. read more

I stop here as often as I can for the classic Chinese dishes: hot and sour soup, steamed dumplings, black pepper chicken and pork. The service is no frills, but it's a buffet! The food is excellent and on par with big city Asian fare. read more

This restaurant is wonderful. It has a huge variety of food along with the staff who are extremely friendly and the restaurant is clearly well treated looking at the floors, seats and walls. A very stylish restaurant with good food and good service! read more

If there is a negative 1 I would have to it placed at that. This is the only buffet in this area and even it the rating was poorer we decided to give it a try ourselves. Food: the food here is awful. The bananas have been set out for so long it was Browning at the edges. The pot stickers had a foul smell to it like something died and decomposed in it. Everything was tasteless and super greasy, more than the usual on Chinese food on general. Cleanliness: there were dirty buckets with a dirty milky color water in it along the wall by the kitchen. The floor was sticky, the soles of my puma shows sticks Everytime I try to lift my feet while walking. The spoons and forks were scratched and visibly unclean. I've had images of huge rats crawling all over this place when all is quiet at night.. ewwww Service: never been treated so poorly. We did not receive any utensils until we asked for it. No refills on beverages. After seeing other customers getting up to refill their own cups we just refilled our own too. No one came to the table to ask how everyone was doing. We did not receive the bill at all. I had to go to the lady and said we were done. She asked where we sat at. After I gave her the money she counted the money and said it wasn't enough. I told her that she didn't even give me the bill. She then showed me the bill and I paid for it. I did not leave any tip money. I didn't let the kids leave any money either. 95% of the time I always leave a nice tip but this time I actually wanted them to pay me for even trying their restruant. This place is gross. Whoever gave this place even more than 2 stars have been living under a rock and do not know how Chinese food and buffet services are suppose to be.. read more

Very good, typical buffet, lots of selection, went there for the first time last evening on our first night of our week trip here in Duluth, good was very good, like I said typical So to the problem it was so hot and humid with storms coming so it was like 94* outside thought it would be so nice to get inside and enjoy the food in the cool.... wrong air was broke had fans out but 98* inside, miserable but stayed to eat anyway. Next time we walk in and see fans we are leaving....still gave 4 stars because we liked the food and we were able to have lots of ice! read more

Great food! Huge variety of foods to choose from. Very clean serving area. Comfy dining area. Very good service.

Everything is fine but I hope the Chinese Owner understand the art of if making a Tea with good water. The Duluth City water stinks so is the Tea. Please make an efforts to make Tea with clean purified water. Not with smell of Chlorine. I don't have a Robles to pay few cents more for tasty tea. read more

The meal was okay. After, a woman publicly humiliated me, and the staff laughed along with her as she left.

Decent food, decent service. All around OK (Needed to make it longer) read more

Stopped in about 7 p.m. and the place was almost empty. Should've turned around and left. We were seated and then ignored. Food was plentiful, but, all over the board. Some tasted ok, while the stuffed mushrooms were grainy and almost like dried toenails. Some food was very bland. The floor show....an employee singing to herself......wasn't necessary. read more

We stopped at the buffet on our way up north. Pretty sure the chicken isn't really chicken....the food was really terrible. The vegetables were okay in the stirfry. Sushi was dried out and super fishy. read more

We had our three grandchildren from Seattle for two hours Thursday afternoon and unfortunately came to China king because they voted for Chinese buffet. It was not even 3:30, and the place was nearly empty. The server pretty much barked at us to sit and it felt like she demanded our drink orders before we even sat down. She wanted ages on the kids and they answered their true ages of 6,10, and 11. Now, I will be truthful, most of my annoyance is with their prices, but the food, although plentiful, was monotonous and really nothing special. The language barrier was awkward and they were very loud. The kids were quizzed by another employee about their ages. They told the truth and they were extremely well behaved. The rest of us were well behaved, and polite. I did question the cost of the kids meals and, other than the 6 year old, we were charged full price. At $12.95 each, and $6.99 for the 6 year old, it was a very costly lunch for dinner prices. There are no prices posted for kids anywhere,but there are lots of postings about the recent price increase. I asked at the counter about their kids pricing, the girl reluctantly pulled her cell phone from her ear and just said "full price!" The 3 stars are for the food; I would give 1 star for the welcoming attitude and just the way they acted towards us. read more

Older Chinese buffet. They served the classics (ie: sesame chicken, lo mein, fried rice, etc.). The food wasn't anything spectacular to the palate...rather basic. The environment appeared relatively clean, but was a bit below my personal restaurant standards. Was not impressed enough to make a return visit. read more

This is the best Chinese in town. I just moved from the state of Virginia. We had a lot more junk/comfort food down south. Eating at China King felt close to home - in terms of good, comfort junk food. read more

At one time this was a pretty decent buffet spot with good value for the money. Two of us had lunch today and were both majorly disappointed with the decline in quality. The majority of the dishes not only didn't look the same, they tasted GROSS. Had to flag down a very unhappy looking female server for a drink refill who finally returned and slammed it on the table. So sorry to make you work, lady! Unfortunately, we had already ordered 2 takeout dishes for people at home before we tasted our horrible lunch. They also were equally unappetizing. Quite a waste of money. We will NOT be back. read more

The cleanest most organized Chinese buffet I have been to in the midwest. The buffet has a very nice variety of Asian dishes including a few options of vegetarians. There is veggie sushi! The salad bar is a nice option for loading on more vegetables in my rice noodles. You can finish off your meal with self serve ice cream too! I have only been for the lunch buffet and the price of $8 (I think) is well worth it. read more

The food has really gone down hill here and service is poor they act like they don't want you there this will be my last don't live in the area but always enjoyed stopping in for a bite what a shame they let this place get this bad read more

Bland bland bland, even the wasabi is watered down. We may be from Wisconsin but that doesn't mean we don't like spices... Amp it up! Went on a busy Saturday & the restaurant was as clean as could be expected, just disappointed with the food. read more

This is the best Chinese food in the Duluth/Superior area. My family and I travel 20 from cloquet to eat here. There's just no other great buffet around! It's quiet. The owners are nice. The food is great and well maintained. And the prices are very reasonable. read more

Good food at 8pm at night could of been little fresher but that's what you get for Chinese poor worker service took 18mins for a refill on a pop with 3 up front workers with only 3 tables of people and everyone else was not being watched if you like average good Chinese and don't mind waiting then it's a good place for you read more

With very severe food allergies to sesame oil/seeds I have to be very careful with the chinese food I eat. Much to my excitement, there are quite a few things here I can eat and not worry about cross contamination. read more
