great food, egg soup and veggies are great, more limited vegetarian options compared to other places.

Wow, it's been over 6 years since I last reviewed this place.... and it's still here. The entrance to the parking lot is till weird pain in the you know what if you're coming from the 80 freeway. There no dedicated way to turn left into the lot, but lucky this time I not in a rig pulling trailer like 6 years ago, so I just swing this big SUV in a sort of u-turn and go in. Lots of parking in the lot for this buffet. The price has gone up from 6 years ago ... it's around $14 per person now. The selection of food is still just one steam table, but there still plenty to choose from and some unusual dishes I've not seen before. I'm here with my crew and they love buffets, cause these guys can eat all they want and everybody is happy to find something they like to eat. There are no American choices here like some buffets, like pizza and french fries. Some of the dishes I'd not seen before at buffets are these chopped oysters served on foil, or boneless ribs (really just sliced up pork shoulder cooked Chinese way), and steamed clams. The green beans were so fresh and crunchy cooked perfect. I was impressed all the food was cooked so well, compared to come Chinese buffets. The selection is smaller here but the quality is better than most. Everybody left full and happy and this is right near the hotel we're staying, so we might even come back again! read more

I'll make it simple... IT'S SUCK'S, DON'T GO. Although the Beer was good. Paid and left, came home and cooked dinner.

Who ever the new owners are, they suck, the food sucked, the service sucked and it was way to expensive. It's like they are not even trying to make good food. Stay away, stay far away. I just got done eating. I literally think I'm going to barf when I get home. The price was ridiculous for old leftover stale food. I wish I could give it zero stars. Protect you health by not going here. read more

I did not like this place with the old owners and we don't like it now. Food is bland and very often cold. Don't like being stared at by the help. read more

Ok , for the life of me I do not understand why they have a 3 star rating. Everything they had out on the buffet line was fantastic, especially for a small town. Everything was fresh, hot, well made, spiced perfectly......etc. Did I mention toon the price! You can't beat it. we will be making this a regular rotation to our limited dining out excursions. read more

Food was good, hot and just what we were looking for. Spring rolls had gray seasoning. Really enjoyed

I was the only patron there an 4pm. There were only a half dozen pieces of each offering and what was there was cold and dried out. With water the price was still nearly $18. Don't bother. read more

Love this place. They don't have the biggest selection but what they do have tastes great. the family running the place were friendly and efficient. read more

Fast quick bite. Always great service by Nina! Upon appearance you may think they don't have a lot of food but they sure do. Many choices to choose from and they purposely only put out a little at a time to keep the food hot and fresh which I think is great ! Many buffets keep their food pans full and so it gets old and hard quick. They are also great about replenishing quickly and if you want more just ask. Our faves are the char siu pork, noodles (different variety some times one or two choices on different days), many chicken, beef and pork choices with different vegetables. They also have alcoholic beverages - soup and deserts. Check them out you won't be disappointed ! Will take pictures next visit. read more

Even though there was a lot of food it was cold and very salty. We will not be returning.

Well, I want to be honest with you all. I would not say this is the worst or the best; it is mid-range at best. The service is good, but the food is just not where it should be. Honestly, I understand they get slow, but they need to put more food out. The restaurant feels very cramped, and the seating is very close to each other and not very comfortable. I would just make the drive to Reno and get Chinese food, but not a buffet. I would have taken pictures, but there just is not enough area to take good pictures. They just have a small selection. Honestly. This place would be so much better if they had a bigger building, better seating, and more to choose from, but this is not what I think of when I think of a Chinese buffet. read more

It was okay. There's enough choices but it wasn't worth my time. The kids were tending the dining area while the adults were making the food in the kitchen. I gave it a three because I had high expectations but it fell short. read more

Not bad. Used to frequent the one in Sparks years ago so had to try this one. Went to lunch early Saturday afternoon and it was too busy but had a steady flow of customers who all seem local. It's a nice little diner style place, dimly lit. Had a nice spread of food. Spicy chicken, honey chicken, shrimp w veggies, egg rolls, wings, chow mein, fried rice, Chinese donuts and quite a few other items. Service was good, water was always filled. No complaints, try it out if you're in the area. read more

I cannot give this place a very good rating because of the taste of the food the chicken melted in your mouth as if it wasn't even real chicken. The beef was a very lite texture as well. Several of the entrées were cold and I had to wait for food to be served at 11:30. This is just unheard of to be serving cold food when they very first open. If you're hungry and you want "quantity over quality than this is the place. But if your tastebuds are seasoned, this is not the place for you. read more

Good food. Nice and quiet service. They don't bother you all the time. I love it. Eat here all the time. read more

Avoid this place like the plague! My dad had ice tea and I had a water we were eating when we got asked if he wanted a refill. He said yes. When he got his cup back, I immediately noticed the lipstick on the straw and immediately told him not to drink it! That was another persons drink. Absolutely gross that he got someone else's cup. Nope never again read more

The family that runs the place are very friendly and are clearly trying but there isn't enough traffic to keep a good selection or help them keep it fresh. read more

Don't waste your money! I normally like the food here, especially their beef chow mei fun and hot and sour soup. Unfortunately the food I ordered tonight made me think if the original owner sold this place. Beef chow mei fun is the worst I have ever seen in my life. Very plain with a few pieces of pale beef and veggies...you can see from the pictures. The rice sticks are white no color and beef is pale. No flavor at all and it's not even stir fried!! Looks like they boiled everything and put them together. There are even egg shells in the eggs too. Yikes Hot and sour soup is a joke. All I can taste is soy sauce.its not sour nor spicy. There's not much stuff in the soup. Only a few bamboo , mushroom stems, tofu, pork in it. Mainly just liquid. yeah, you hear me right.... mushroom stems!! you don't even deserve mushrooms, you deserve mushroom stems! It's a rid off with the price they charged you. Over all, it was the worst $20 I've ever spent. Stay away if you can. I personally for sure would never go back again. Terrible!!!How dare they serve this kind of crap in a restaurant? Seriously!! read more

Terrible. I'd give zero stars if I could That is all I can say why are the wontons pink? Why is there no crab and cream cheese in the ragoons? Why does the orange chicken look like that? Why so chewy and tough how is this $40?!! First time trying this place and now I just want my moneys back at this point. I'm already sick with the flu. I'm not trying to get sicker. read more

The food is very good here. I would recommend this Chinese restaurant to anybody. The service is fast and clean. Me my husband 2 friends I do laundry at Mr. Bubble. read more

We ordered the same dishes: Honey walnut shrimp, Scallops with snow peas and Beef with mixed vegetables. The lady who took our order is as friendly as ever and warned us that there are a few large orders ahead of us so the delivery could be in an hour. Well food was delivered in ~45 minutes and everything is as fresh and delicious as Ever. Highly recommended again. read more

Everything was cold. We went first thing when they opened and figured the food would be fresh. Instead it all tasted like the day befores left overs. I couldn't even finish what I got. It was really bad. read more

Very reasonable Price and friendly staff. What can I say? This is a great little gem! It's actually the best value for Chinese food around. This includes the WOK, in Fallon. At the China king, I can get dozens of items, plus something to drink and pay only half the price of the Chinese restaurants in Fallon or Fernley. It's next to the bowling alley in old town fernley. read more

The first thing wrong was the buffet. It was as big as your average size dining table at most. You didn't have a very good selection of what to eat. The food was not great either. Most of it was cold and overall did not taste good. The bathroom smelt like it had not been cleaned in years. The toilet was gross and the floors were wet. The smell was absolutely HORID. I had a hard time not throwing up. The food like I said was not great. It was not cooked right at all. I really do not recommend. The only reason I have it 2 stars is because the service was great. The staff was very kind at all times. If you want good Chinese food I wouldn't recommend going here. read more

Many dishes are good, I like the walnut shrimp, beef~n~broccoli and chicken on a stick. Never feel like I get my money's worth, just can't stuff myself that full. read more

Very good food and nice ambiance. Nice variety and they have there food labeled so makes it easy to know what your eating!

Favorite Asian restaurant in Fernley. Love it that they have a lot of veges. Good food. Good service.

To be totally honest, this was by far the worst buffet I've ever been to. Trust me the pictures will show you the problems. Food was absolutely horrendous and everything that was barely edible was all gone. We paid $27.99 for 2 people and I had one plate and my fiancé didn't even finish her first plate(also 2 drinks). Just do yourself a favor and never consider this a option to eat. I even spit out the teriyaki chicken on a stick. Disappointed! read more

China King Buffet is due for an updated review... You're welcome! ;-) After a brief visit to the Veteran's Cemetery, my family and I needed a place to dine at. Initially I mentioned that we were only a half hour away from Reno, and that we should go somewhere there. But, my mom mentioned a much closer buffet that she's gone to with friends after work. Enter China King Buffet. I skimmed thru the reviews and was a little hesitant about stopping by, but sometimes mom's know a yelp* thing or two, as well! Except for two other patrons, the place was empty for a Sunday at noon when we arrived. We were greeted right away by two smiling faces, and we were seated just as quickly. Even before we could figure out who would sit where, our drink orders were taken: 3 hot teas, one iced tea, a Sierra Mist, and a lemonade. Then we were off to the buffet. It was a small, two section buffet. The trays of food weren't entirely full, but neither was the restaurant. It was understandable that the trays were left maybe half-full. Some of the buffet items? -plain steamed rice -fried rice -veggie chow mein -crab Rangoon wontons -General Tso Chicken -Seafood Delight -crab legs -garlic green beans -mushroom pork -pepper potatoes -ginger clams - teriyaki chicken skewers -pepper chicken -egg flower soup -hot and sour soup A few more items, but that's all I can recall... We all took at least two trips each. And we all had our favorites. I favored the veggie chow mein, garlic string beans, and ginger clams. Except for the fortune cookies, we really didn't get any dessert. I didn't really notice the dessert area of the buffet. I think there was a tray of tapioca and there was a nice arrangement of almond cookies. The ladies tending to us were very friendly and took away our empty plates and bowls almost as soon as we were done. I struck up a conversation with one of the ladies, as she was eyeing my full belly and inquired about my condition. It's funny seeing everyone's reaction to the mentioning of twins, lol! Another one of the ladies gave an elderly regular patron a hug upon entering. And a regular family walked in and they were asked "how many this time?" Great customer service here, no wonder why they have so many returning customers! Restrooms can be kept up a touch more. Decor is kinda cliche, with bamboo, fans, koi fish, and lanterns. The buffet tongs can be hot to the touch, so be careful! My family left full and satisfied. No real complaints about the food were exchanged. For 6 people our bill came out to just under $70. Not bad for an AYCE Chinese buffet and drinks. Well, yelp*ers... My mom was right about this one. Worth a try, at least!!! read more

Food was just okay. Some dishes were cold. The fried foods were good not to greasy and were hot. Service was great! The employees are all very nice. Ambient was a bit out dated. read more

Not too shabby overall! I've been there about 20 times now and I often go with my in-laws. Anyway, what can ya say, really? They provide pretty good food and a good variety for the buffet, and the prices are reasonable. It is not the prettiest joint as far as the facility goes, but considering I've got my face buried in my plate whattda I care? The food is worth the price, the staff are nice and the wait staff are very attentive. I'll be back...again, and again, and again....etc. CLEAN UP THE BATHROOM ONCE IN A WHILE, CHINA KING!!! read more

Terrible food, always old and dried up from sitting on the buffet. Extremely dirty and absolutely filthy restrooms. Rude staff that yells "you take plate so you pay now" when you complain about the old dried up food on the buffet. Mice running around on the floor in hallway to restrooms. I'll never return. read more

Worst eating experience in Fernley! Both bathrooms smelled like open sewers! The food in the buffet was lukewarm and unappealing. We walked out and went to another Chinese restaurant down the road and around the corner. It was far superior, serving hot tasty fresh Chinese cuisine! Don't waste your time or money! read more

We went in around dinnertime on a Saturday night after not finding a Chinese Buffet in Fallon after a football game. We had a party of 9 and they were able to accommodate us quickly without a reservation. The Walnut Shrimp was amazing. We also enjoyed the chow mein, fried rice, and chicken skewers, among other things. We had spent the day in the heat and so we were unreasonably thirsty. They were able to keep all 9 of our drinks filled in a timely matter. After we left we realized that our 12 year old left her retainer. When we went back in the table had been cleared but they had put aside the one retainer and spent some time searching through the trash for us until they found the other. The service was amazing from beginning to end. I wish I could have left a bigger tip but we will definitely be returning if football brings us back out this way. read more

This place is pretty solid. The first thing is that they're a buffet, but they're also a full menu Chinese restaurant for takeout/delivery (and presumably eat in too but I don't imagine that happens a lot). Which is relevant just because their buffet is pretty small but that doesn't mean their takeout menu is. But their buffet is good. It's not large so there's not a huge selection but the quality IMO is significantly better than what you get at one of the typical large Chinese buffets. At a larger buffet in Reno maybe they've got 100 things but 90 of them are garbage. This place is more like 20 things but none of them are garbage. Additionally it means that things are more likely to be fresh here than other buffets. And I think it's $9.10 with tax for lunch and includes drink. That's a pretty good deal as far as I'm concerned. read more

My husband and I went there on 10/20/20. We were the only ones there so it was quite (which we didn't mind). The service was excellent and the food was DELICIOUS. So fresh, and all of the food came out super fast. Can't wait for them to open the buffet back up. I am waiting patiently. Thank read more
