So the person that reached the front was eating up there which is very unprofessional. He took his time in getting me seated; I didn't like the place he was sitting at so I asked him for a move to what she wasn't very customer friendly to that comment but still did it because I would not give in. He went ahead and took my drink order and then left. The food there is phenomenal, the Mongolian grill is phenomenal, The sushi is OK, but the waiters were on point with ensuring that I was always having a drink full and picking up dirty dishes. I hope that somebody reads this and gets onto the gentleman it's at the front young guy Asian that is the only downfall to their business as far. read more

I'm pretty sure cleaning food to be served to guests is not done outside on the ground by the dumpster in restaurants that follow health dept.regulations apparently King Buffett isn't one of those restaurants from the looks of what I saw they are cleaning seafood on the ground outside with a hose pipe. I only did one star only bey it wasn't a option to leave none read more

King Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Me and a friend travel alot, we have been to this restaurant before and it was delicious. This time around how ever it was just a bad experience all around. The lady that sat us did not even wait for my drink order, and the food had been on the buffet far to long most of it was like eating jerki even the dessertcakes was hard as a rock, however the Habachy grill was good could have been a little more generouswith the sauce. I understand we are in tough economical times but find other ways to pinch a pinny dont serve customers bad food. read more

Place used to be 5 stars but they've gone done some in terms of buffet quality. It's still a great buffet though

Good buffet lots to choose from. Sushi was good and fresh tasting. The habachi was on point with lots of sauce choices and good fresh meat. Very good experience very friendly wait staff. Wished we lived closer to eat here more often. read more

The first thing that comes to mind is "Wow!" I'm a truck driver and I've had more than my fair share of Chinese Buffets. This Kings Buffet lives up to the name. I tried the General Tso's chicken (which is great!) , the sauteed green beans, sesame chick, an orange glazed chicken wings (there wasn't a name tag for it), baked crab meat, Lomen, steak and broccoli beef. All of it was delicious. The steak was cooked medium well but still juicy. The sushi bar isn't on the level of an actual Japanese sushi restaurant, but it I'd far above what you'd expect at a Chinese Buffet. I didn't try the Mongolian BBQ, as I didn't have the room left in my stomach. They have a good looking dessert bar area with actual hand dipped ice cream. I was here on a Sunday about 2pm. They were packed but all the food was fresh and well stocked. Service was fast and attentive. Dinner, which is all day on Sunday was $11.29 for adults and $1.99 for drinks. For myself I paid $14.61 for dinner and a drink including sales tax. If your hungry, that's a steal for how much I ate. Also, if your a truck driver King Buffet sits adjacent to a larger shopping center where you can park along back. I saw a few rigs parked in the front of the shopping center when I arrived. A great place to eat and I'll definitely be back next time I pass through read more

Half of the items i got on the buffet were outstanding. Half were just not. It was a bit over priced especially with the atmosphere. Very noisy. Very chaotic. But it was Friday night. The chicken on a stick was wonderful. The fried shrimp was dismal with too much breading and teeny tiny shrimp on the inside. Over all, it was ok, but i wouldn't go again on a weekend. read more

The selection is ok. The food is ok. I think the buffet up the street is a little better. Sorry.

Clean and organized. The food selection is large. I didn't taste it all of course but the food I tried were alright. I was in the bathroom and there was a waitress putting on lipstick, then a man opened the bathroom door and called out a name but when he saw me, he quickly closed the door. Then the waitress, irritated, turned to me and said that he is the manager here and he sometimes goes in the lady's bathroom to check on waitresses to make sure they're not on their phone and whatnot. I don't know who the owner is but I don't think he/she was in there at all since a boy was running the register. Has nothing to do with the food itself, but I thought that was weird encounter with the waitress. Thought I'd share it. read more

Another location I ran across this weekend I must say it wasn't bad at all I had pasta salad and crab salad, I tried the Mongolian beef with lo mein and fried rice, fruit and Ice cream for desert... I don't eat sushi but they have a nice looking sushi bar for the sushi lovers!! read more

Well finally a good Chinese buffet in birmingham. I have seen and ate at a lot of the past good ones in the area, most keep the level up for a couple of years or so then fall off. I think this is the past owners of the one on the hill by the freeway. I hope this one keeps the service and quality food going. We will see. read more

This buffet is one of the best we have ever tried! Their food is fresh and the Mongolian has lots of selection!! Definitely will go back.

Great place food are good also they have sushi and the mognolia grill that es amazing

Wasn't worth the drive. Everything we we're told they would have they didn't. All the food was cold, and the military discount was 0.92 cents. read more

King Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

We tried out this new restaurant after seeing the parking lot over loaded from day one. We went on Father's day & that May have been the first mistake. It was super super crowded. The restaurant itself is pretty, but there were just too many people around the buffet, standing in the dining areas, it was just too much. The food was just ok, there was really nothing special. The sushi bar is near the door and was pretty good but nothing special. We've only been once so we will have to go back in order to give them a chance at a better rating. read more

Definitely the best buffet I've gone to in Birmingham, which isn't too hard. Coming from Huntsville, I've eaten at 88 Buffet, and I was expecting Birmingham to have even better buffet options when I came here. This was not the case. I would say that King Buffet is pretty similar in options and vibe as 88 Buffet--hibachi, sushi, and even some of the options provided outside of the typical Chinese cuisine. They had some interesting options that I haven't seen before though--fried imitation crab and fish soup (which my mom appreciated). It's new, so everything is clean. Still, maybe I've been spoiled, but I still wasn't that impressed. The dessert selection seemed small and the hibachi didn't taste that great. I would rate it as 3.5 stars. Though, I will say that King Buffet is a good option if you want to eat at a Chinese buffet in Birmingham. read more

The staff are very friendly. Our waiter was David and he was excellent. The food was hot, fresh and stayed stocked. Has a really good taste and Saturday buffet is only $8.25. This is a great bargain. This will be our new go to buffet and we will gladly drive from Pell City if they keep the service and the food at the level that it is now. read more

My daughter and I went during lunch time and did not have much of a wait. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good and fresh. They were constantly putting out fresh food on the buffet. My favorite part is the Mongolian grill where you can customize your own grill bowl with meats and veggies and have it cooked fresh. They have options for kids or others who do not care for Chinese such as a salad bar, pizza, chicken, vegetable sides, etc. Prices are very reasonable. We will go again. read more

Update: We visited again, the customers can move around a little better when it is not packed. The Chinese is still very good, much better than the competition, the Sushi remains excellent. The Peking Duck station is still in the works, not yet. We can hardly wait! This visit, no ribs in the Southern Cuisine, but they did have fried chicken which was very good. read more

Compared to the other Chinese buffets I've been to in my lifetime, I would give this place a 3. However due to the limited Chinese buffet options in Birmingham, I will give this buffet a 4. My favorite thing to eat from the buffet was the black peppered chicken. All the other things were ok, but a little sweeter in taste than I would prefer. The atmosphere was good and service was decent. If I'm ever really craving a large selection of Chinese food I'd come here, but it's not somewhere I would pay a regular visit to. read more

Would rate negative stars if possible. Our experience here was awful! During covid they aren't social distancing. We were shown to a table right between 2 occupied booths. Asked to be seated at a reasonable distance from other people & they didn't understand what I was asking. Finally got a booth separated from others & a few minutes later someone was seated in the booth right next to us & it had a huge yellow X taped on it! Duh, means do not seat here! Food wasn't fresh, some were mislabeled etc. Mac & cheese was dried out, chicken was labeled fried fish, cooked crab casserole was dried out & stayed almost empty. Lot of the dishes were empty & didn't get replenished. Not worth what I paid. I ate less than a plate full. Our 1st time here & very DISAPPOINTING! Won't be back or recommend. read more

I was expecting more from this buffet based on their commercials. It was good but not super impressive. They have a lot to choose from but I was a little underwhelmed by the food. I didn't have anything that I really loved. I did like that they have pretty good sushi on the buffet. If you're a sushi person you could get a lot for the price of the buffet. I did not try the grill so I cannot comment on that. read more

Good selection so far so good I like the hibachi style buffet got lots of selection and you can pick your own spices

This was my first time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised with the service and food. The place was clean, the food was great and the buffet bar was fresh. I will most definitely eat there again. read more

We love this place and the selections they have. Clean and the service is great. Definitely go for their dinner buffet. They have so many seafood variations!!! read more

My husband and I were here for our anniversary. It was very clean and well maintained. We went around 6pm and staff was constantly bringing fresh food out. I was disappointed that they did not have crab legs. They did have small fried crabs but not large crab legs like you would expect. The crabs they did have were so small it wasn't really worth it. I did see one dude chowing down on those crabs, eating shell and all so there's that I guess. The sushi was an awesome selection, as well as sashimi. The rest of the buffet featured all classic Chinese style food such as sweet and sour chicken, General Tsoa chicken, beef and broccoli, teriyaki chicken, sesame chicken, chicken on a stick, fried rice, egg rolls, fried and steamed shrimp, lo mein, a variety of soups, and every sauce you can imagine. There was also a large salad bar and some fruit options as well as a dessert bar. We didn't use the hibachi but they had a wide variety of options including calamari. Overall we enjoyed our experience and will more than likely return. read more

This restaurant is really good from my experience only thing I didn't like was the noodles they just tasted like spaghetti noodles covered in oil but I enjoyed the rest especially the covid set up when u walk in and 6ft part seating the food is pretty good (first time experience) read more

Best buffee in Birmingham ever , Clean well managed, and best flavour for me.Anyone come here just right.

We were passing through Birmingham and thought this buffet looked nice and clean. The outside looked good and new but we were greeted by an unfriendly hostess after a waiting a considerable amount of time to be seated. She was very rude and impolite. There was a good selection of food and the area was well maintained. Our waiter was nice. Overall, the atmosphere was great except for our encounter with the rude hostess! read more

This place has nice decor, clean, inexpensive, and has great food. The food was hot and delicious! Offers a wide variety of food as well as a Mongolian food bar. Has the traditional Chinese Buffett dishes plus much more. Staff was quick with replacing food, seating, and service. It would definitely have gotten a strong 4 stars had my waitress been friendly, attentive, and I not have had to ask around for a check. She was quick with bringing drinks, but she was not nice or happy to be there. She did offer a refill before we left. Overall, I will be back and I would recommend. There is a line to pay when leaving but it moves fairly quickly. Look out New China there's a new sheriff in town! read more

The food was delicious and staff was very friendly and fast. Had a very pleasant and calm atmosphere
