Table with a view out the window, score. No rookie moves of loading up on carbs. Try the walk around approach to assess the offering, then the bite size sampling approach, then the paleo approach, then the check-in to make sure you've saved some room for dessert and yet have no regrets. The servers were great and on top of it clean plates for each course. When you arrive though, be prepared for a non existent welcome, no frills # and table assignment. It's all business. The quality of food was lacking and could definitely be better. read more

One of worst Chinese buffets I've ever had. I like Chinese buffets for great value and selection, but this place is not it. Sometimes I just crave some salt and pepper shrimp, mushrooms, and little bit of everything. The taste is terrible for most of the stuff I got. It lacks flavor compared to the other Chinese buffets I've had. Place didn't feel that clean either. It's definitely catered more towards non-asians. It's not of those higher quality Chinese buffets you can get in California. Would not recommend. read more

King Buffet - Price list menu. Jan .2026 - Buffets Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

We were able to get $2.00 off for a senior discount. The meal was $25. for the two of us. We drank water. You get what you pay for. I am not disappointed. The buffet food was pretty low quality and I was not happy with the taste. The man who filled my water was surprised to receive a tip. My wife did like her salmon. My Discover Card was not accepted. Was able to use Visa. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant was clean. read more

It's been a while since we had lunch King Buffet at the Carson City location. When we entered the restaurant, the crowd was still pretty light but soon enough a steady stream of customers walked in the restaurant through our visit. The employees at the restaurant were very nice and efficient, they cleared our tables and topped off our drinks quickly and frequently. There was a good selection of food but it was a bit different from what I was used to but it was still pretty good and they had a good selection. Our 5-person party enjoyed a great many dishes they offered; I especially liked the two fish dishes in their buffet and all the seaweed salad I can eat from their sushi section. I also liked their coffee-flavored cake; I wished I had another stomach just eat more of it. So, in summary, we had a good lunch at Carsom City King Buffet read more

It was alright given it was only $14 for AYCE. But if you don't come in with those expectations, you'll probably leave pretty disappointed.

Some of the reviews must have been done by employees - very dishonest - dis honorable. Messy - dirty - bland - basic/not a good selection. read more

Came here with the family and friends. Everyone had a good time. The ambience was nice. We all caught multiple plates between the four adults and one for y'all. We pretty much tried everything. I really like the Mongolian barbecue was so good everything we could pick I chose lots of veggies and some shrimp of that protein. I feel that the crab Ragu could be cooked a little bit longer there a little under Guin but everything else was good deafly will be back. The servers were very polite cleared our place quickly. Thank you. read more

Today i give them a 4 only because the green beans were hard and cold and so were the french fries. Other than that everything else was great. The place was clean and cool and the staff were attentive. read more

King Buffet - The 14 year old fish! - Buffets Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Pretty good price. However not good food and not a good variety. Desserts are bad too. Sushi isn't good, chicken has no flavor, soup is bad. I'm honestly not sure what I enjoyed here, but I was really hungry so. The place needs a lot of improvement. read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would...literally the worst place I have ever eaten in my life! Listen to the reviews and do not waste your money coming here! Food was cold and not fresh at all! read more

The food was at best average. Potstickers, chicken skewers very overcooked. Green beans mostly tasteless. Fried shrimp good. Egg rolls undercooked. We will not return. Facility is clean and neat. read more

Having lived in the area for 15 years finally decided to try King's Buffet. We went on a Sunday, excellent fresh food. Enjoyed the sushi, all the seafood, the tasty noodles, my favorite dessert gindui and the mango jello. We have been back twice now and will continue to go there. The $18 price should include the hot tea then it would be perfect. read more

I just can't resist a Chinese buffet when I'm traveling and this was another example of that. I had skipped lunch and this ended up as an early dinner in Carson City. The buffet is in good shape. Nothing spectacular but clean and restocked often. I was able to put together a decent plate of all proteins though I did pop a couple pieces of nigiri sushi on a second plate. A little on the bland side but this is an Americanized Chinese buffet so that's to be expected. Clean restaurant and my waitress refilled the water and cleared dirty plates as needed. I'd have liked to see one-use gloves out on the buffet line for safety but I was glad I had brought a couple of my own. [Review 17686 overall - 32 in Nevada - 1207 of 2022.] read more

Remember the Sriracha (Rooster Sauce) shortage? It was gone from the shelves and fetching $30 a bottle on ebay! Well, Sriracha has RETURNED! The real stuff, not the imitations from overseas. This is made in USA .... California. It back on all the tables of King Buffet in Carson City anyways. Personally, I'm not a fan, but there a lot of people that are and I see them drenching all their food with the stuff. So, just thought I'd let you all know, Sriracha is back! I come here mainly just for the huge all you can eat salt pepper prawns. They cook them just right here with the seasonings perfect. The size and quality is just like a high end Asian restaurant that will charge $20 for like 12 of those prawns. For $16.99 dinner price, King buffet is a deal just for the prawns! I don't eat much else on the buffet, 3 big plates of prawns! read more

Great food and quite affordable for the variety and taste. The sushi selections were quite good and not overstuffed with rice. The variety shrimp selections were excellent and everything overall tasted quite good. The staff were fast at clearing up the plates from the tables and replenishing the buffet selections. Definitely will be back for more. read more

EVERYTHING was cold. The sushi looked like it was leftover from lunch. Terrible, worst experience we have had in the almost 17 years we have been coming here. Never going back. read more

Nice selection of food, I only wish they had sauces for the Mongolian BBQ. Nice service, except for the guy at the front desk that sat us

Really like the food. Atmosphere is typical cafeteria style Chinese food although a little nicer than some. It didn't matter. Everything was clean fresh tasty and I went for the food. Never disappointed it has become one of my favorite for Chinese food read more

Normally in the Sacramento area, this would be a 4 star buffet, of which we have tons. But here in this Carson City area, it's as good as it's gonna get as far as a Chinese buffet. We're southbound on the 395 freeway, and it just ends here in south Carson, like they didn't have enough money to get it to the outside of town. As we climb this hill I see a King Buffet sign. This traffic sucks, so let's do lunch at a buffet! I couldn't tell it was Chinese by the name "King Buffet", but that's what it was. We just swing in and plenty of parking. There's even a Trader Joe's next door. I don't see any signs of what the price is, but how much can a Chinese buffet be? Oh, OK, it's $11.99 plus tax and tip for lunch. There's 2 steam tables with food and another table with sushi and another with desserts and a stir fry station. I see all the standard Chinese buffet foods, chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, pot stickers, 2 kinds of steamed fish, green beans, fried chicken wings, plus many others. The food looked fresh at 11:30am at least. The guy was just making the sushi rolls. Sampling the wings ... I really love those fried wings! One great trick with the wings is scoop some of the sauce out of the General Chicken and put that on the fried wing ... yummers! The sushi was OK, the steamed fish was tender and the pot stickers were decent. Really, not a bad buffet as far as Chinese buffets go. I guess at dinner they bring out the seafood of crabs and shrimps, but not at lunch. The plates were cleared right away and water filled. Watching the people file in here, seems like half the landscaping crews come in here, I can see why, all you can eat food for about $11, then back out on the job. It didn't take long to get our fills, as there's no waiting lines, just walk up grab food and eat. I'll say buffets are a time saver if you just need food and get back to whatever you do. OK, back on the road southbound and down! I'd recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner where you get to see the food before it ends up on your plate. Not really a date place. read more

Eat here with caution! We came for family lunch but quickly regretted our decision. The food was questionable, definitely not at safe temperatures. The staff was not friendly or welcoming whatsoever. Will not be spending my money here again. read more

This place has become my and my boyfriends go to place when I'm hungry and want some Mongolian bbq on a budget. Legit that is the first thing I go to when I get there because it's my favorite part. You can choose between beef, chicken, and pork during lunch - dinner just adds shrimp as an option. Then they have broccoli, bean sprouts, onion, noodles, garlic, squash and I believe that's it. They also have a sushi section which isn't the best but isn't horrible either. I'll eat a few when I'm there. There's some more basic things - chicken wings, chicken skewers, ceviche, egg drop soup, chow mein and rice. All in all I enjoy there options. As for the service - I've never had an issue. Generally they sit you down, someone gets your drinks and you'll have a few people who rotate around grabbing plates and refilling drinks. During lunch it's much quieter than during dinner. Once time we went during dinner on a Friday and holy moly. Anyways, rating a 4/5 because it is still buffet food and some things are mediocre. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - it does taste like a Chinese buffet and has the typical dishes so it hits the spot for any cravings. The flavorings on some were very mild and we can't tell the chicken dishes apart in terms of taste (color and texture is different though). The chef was working hard behind sushi bar but it's mostly just different fish on California or tempera rolls. The Mongolian grill has some vegetables that were inconsistent in cut and meat that is completely defrosted and just sitting in their juice (eek) Ambience: 3/5 - slightly older store so some things can do with a touch up. The plates are chipped and there are rips in the chair cushions Service: 5/5 - slight language barrier but they were nice and hard working Value for price: 5/5 - $12 for ayce weekday lunch so it's a good deal read more

I went in there on Wednesday, June 11th 8:20pm went to take out my girlfriend to celebrate her graduation, we got there and asked for a booth ( I'm a 6ft guy on the heavy side ) they clearly had booths for bigger people cause I saw people with the same body build as me and they decided to sit me on the smallest booth possible with what seemed like a booster seat, felt really uncomfortable to be there. We then proceeded to go get food, I got the dinner shrimp with some other stuff that looked appealing, when I started taking the shrimp shell out I noticed it wasn't cleaned because it had poop and wasn't devained they js cook it the way they receive it, and around 10 mins after they gave us our tab. Really pissed me off could not enjoy the food had a server staring at us so we just went to pay the tab and the lady was being rude and in a way demanding a tip said " everyone likes to leave tips for the busser . " Speaking on my personal experience I don't recommend stopping by here at all. read more

My friend J said we should go to this place one day, he said great sushi and really good buffet... So here we are...thursday night not too busy, social distancing...we were sat immediately. First of all there is nothing wrong with this establishment, plenty of entree choices, whole shrimp, shrimps with different sauces as Bubba continues...so to the point, the place is just ok, barely. Tired from years of a good business. Attention to detail and quality is tantamount to ensuring longevity. Both are lacking at this establishment. Two for dinner with a beverage $32, if your looking for a bargain it's here. Foodguy-Martin read more

King Buffet - front entrance area - Buffets Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

All the basics are here. For the price of $12/person. You'll get a fraction of food at other Chinese restaurants. You get what you paid for. Don't complain and expect a luxury Chinese food. Here, you can get orange chicken, beef broccoli, fish fillets, baked salmon, Mongolian noodle ( the cook burnt the garlic bites and my plate became bitter ) egg flour soup. No peas and carrots nor grounded chicken, Hot flour soup with fresh mushroom and on a sweeter side, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, fried banana, what else? Noodle and fried rice, some sushi ( more like imitation crab meat rolls) all are standard, taste wise .. yeah $12 for all. Anyway, things that makes me feel not good is, the waiter cleaned the table in front of me and the left over/ left behind napkins, he stashed it back to his apron and then, he gave it to the other customers. It makes me look at my napkins and wonder why it has ketchup on it??? Variations of canned fruits Jellos, soft serve ice creams, read more

The food was at unsafe trmpatures (cold) and some of the food was questionable as how long it was out for. The service was not that great. First time we have ever had a bad experience here and it was terrible. No wonder it was almost empty in the building. read more

My boyfriend and I came to eat here after a long day, I have been coming to this buffet for well over 4 years I've had a couple problems in the past with food being cold or hard. I don't like to be THAT person and complain but this time it was different. We arrived around 8, a whole hour till closing. It wasn't so busy so we asked for a booth. My boyfriend is a big guy we noticed we got sat in the smaller booths even though there is bigger ones around. We just changed our seat not much of a big deal, when we went to go get food there was caution slippery signs where you get food ‍. I don't know why they would put them where everyone is supposed to walk. As we were eating everything was hard and oily, wings were soggy tasted like they had been sitting around, rice on the sushi was so hard everything was bad. The busser kept staring us down as we got up to get our second plate when we came back we noticed we had got the check. It was so confusing almost felt like they wanted us out, at this point it was around 8:20 still 40 minutes till closing. The busser had an attitude with us the whole time, we decided to stop eating and just pay, when we were paying the cashier was really snappy, we didn't leave a tip (we always do) but it wasn't deserved at all this time. She got mad we weren't leaving a tip. Save your time and money. Go eat somewhere else. read more

I was getting food and they left the caution signs for mopping where you will hit them so I accidentally did and they fell over an employee looked at me and pointed at them and said pick them up. You kick them over... how unbelievably rude I had food in my hands. He's the guy in the white T-shirt, always standing by the food with his arms crossed, staring at you. read more

This place has come a long way from when it first opened. Tonight, was pretty darn good. I was quite surprised with the sushi. The sushi was far superior to the M***'s sushi restaurant in town. They were constantly making it as it literally disappeared as soon as a roll was done. The rest of the selection was hot and fresh at all times. The staff were friendly, fast and efficient. They were constantly cleaning. Spot on with drinks, etc. Sorry for no pictures as I didn't bring my phone in. read more

the waiter was the crapiest!!! My hubby had told him the sprite had no flavor it was just carbon and he said fuck and left mad!! my hubby went and told the cashier and they started talking in their language and laughing!! we got no refills and our plates just piled on since he didn't want to wait on us anymore, we had an 80.00 bill and I gave no tip!!! I was so upset that they treated us like that over a soda that he could have poured himself a glass and tasted it to but decided to be an ass about it instead!!! we will never go back and I'm posting it on all forums!! people need to know this place sucks read more

Just moved recently from SETX to Carson City. Due to all the casinos and their restaurants, Chinese not to mention buffets are lacking to say the least. We decided to try King Buffet, as IT IS THE ONLY ONE!!! Money wasted and the food was subpar. Never ever will we walk back into this establishment. They had staff standing around that understood 0 english. So much for asking about items that we saw on the pictures, but they had nothing like it on their buffet line. It was pitiful to say the least. Still can't find good chinese food. But this place just was terrible. read more

Fare value for food service is good, no ambiance!!! Whorn out but cheap, you get what you pay for .. YES, I WILL COME BACK !!!

Absolutely the worst food I have put in my mouth in a very long time. I honestly don't think I took more than a bite of anything I put on my plate. Complained about everything and was still charged $41.75. I will not be going back ever again, to any location. Thank you for absolutely nothing besides a bad taste in my mouth and an upset stomach. I don't think I have ever left a buffet hungry in my life. If I didn't have to leave at least a star to leave this review they would have gotten no stars at all read more

This is my last time coming here. Three staff members all worked hard to keep the buffet clean, picked up food off the ground, then grabbed washcloths to wipe down, serve checks to customers, refill sodas and NONE of them washed their hands once in the hour I was there. I was hoping that places would learn the importance of hand washing last year, but this was hard to watch. read more

When you first enter the King Buffet here in Carson City NV you're hit with a dirty fish tank. As you go further into the main restaurant you get dingy dated tables. The buffet itself is limited. The majority of the food is over cooked except the fried items which are so undercooked it's sad. The egg-flower soup is greasy so if you like vegetable oil it's perfect for you. If you like the smell and taste of sewage the hot and sour soup is best for you. The best thing that could happen to this restaurant is a grease fire but we all know that's never going to happen especially when the oil they use for frying isn't hot enough to make food correctly. 1000% do not recommend. Eat at McDonald's instead. read more

It's a buffet so you can't really expect much. But THIS, this was nothing I could have ever prepared myself for. The food was soggy, heavy, and definitely cross contaminated. Things that shouldn't have a fishy taste, did. Sauces were almost jelly like. $17 for dinner buffet? No, more like $12 with a side of major stomach pain. read more
