A coworker recommended this buffet and never again will I trust those taste buds. I paid almost 27 dollars for Sunday dinner menu and the food was not enjoyable at all. I really tried to find at least one thing worth going back for and that fell short. Pass on this buffet if you value anything. read more

For the price of a single entree at most other "Chinese" restaurants you get all you can eat here. This is not fine dining of course, but the food is pretty good. When I went at 12:30 on a Tuesday it was nearly deserted, but buffet well stocked and everything hot. I was pleasantly surprised by a few dishes such as breaded shrimp and scallops. The decor is well worn but place looks clean. As other reviews point out there is no hand sanitizer but I carry my own and use it before and after each trip to the buffet. With scant few buffets left (moment of silence please for Old Country Buffet) I welcome a place that can put out good food for a low price. Keep your expectations reasonable!! read more

Hostess is very rude. I used to go for lunch often when I worked in Everett. Stopped in today after being retired for over ten years. The price was what I expected but I mentioned it seemed expensive and put a twenty dollar bill on the counter to pay. The expensive remark was intended to start a friendly conversation about how I haven't been there in over ten years. However she got mad and told be to go eat somewhere else. I ended up having a good lunch at Taco Time. If she would have taken my money I would have explained that I hadn't been there in a long time and the price was fine. That may have included an apology. I suggest that she be more curious about the remark instead of chasing who was at one time a frequent customer. read more

This place has definitely been around for awhile. It's looking a little run down on the inside. The food was good though. There was quite a few options. The service was adequate. read more

this is a best value and great fresh Chinese food, for the money. we go here at least once a month and we recommend you get there around 1100am when it opens. Food is always fresh and HOT. which I find at other buffet to be lacking. The fish is always fresh, and so is suchi. read more

The food is tasty. The price is cheaper than other Asian buffets. The service is pretty friendly. And the restaurant is rather clean. 5 ! read more

This place is great maybe not perfect but what restaurant is. There were a couple things that might have been out to long but I mean 90% of everything thing else was great. I had several things I had never tried before and absolutely loved. All in all I would totally recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been coming here since 1995. Since back even when the cash register counter used to be in the other location and the neon lights still worked. I have been here probably at least 100 times in 30 years. Today was the worst food ever. Old, dry, chewy. Different owners or managers ? Just don't care anymore ? read more

First, the restaurant was completely empty. I might've came out a slow time, but for an establishment to have no guest is alarming. The cleanliness was of the establishment and utensils was standard but the cleaning area and ice cream area was cluttered and disorganized. My biggest complaint is the food. Some of the was okay, others not so much. Some of the food was cold, seemed old and questionable. read more

Rice smelled and tasted like mold, orange chicken tastes like soap, old furniture, and sushi tastes bad, and everything is WAY too juicy.

I like a more decorative establishment but I didn't know this place . It's is not an exciting place to eat but the food was yummy or very good. It was moderately priced I believe $20. I have paid more but for the price and the location. Don't get me wrong it is safe location. I will eat here again. read more

I tried V-Star, Grand Buffet, Blue Finn (closed during pandemic), Mandarin Buffet and Grill, Golden City, and Feast Buffet too. This buffet is by far the most subpar in quality. - The Chinese donuts were a bit hard - I tried the salmon- it tasted stale and hard - The general quality of the food tastes extremely cheap, even compared to Grand Buffet. The food did not feel fresh at all. It was generally a bit bland and is likely premade. - The chow mein noodles especially felt cheap compared to all the buffets I've went to. - The food diversity wasn't good at all - The sushi was probably on-par with Grand Buffet (very cheap, cream cheese, cucumber, a lack of raw fish diversity, etc.) I went during the summer of 2022 during a lunch hour. The buffet was mostly empty. Food is edible, but for the same price...I would just go to V-Star instead. read more

A good size buffet. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is good but what makes this buffet stand out personally to me is that they have APPLE STRUDEL! It's delicious and I highly recommend to pair it with their vanilla ice cream! They have a nice big shared parking lot. Easy parking. read more

The food is amazing and fresh I recommend giving it a try for the cheap price!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go out to lunch a couple times a month. The last 2 times going to king buffet, the food was satisfactory. Today, a different story. I found at least 4 things that were burned, some pretty badly. Some of what wasn't burned, tasted really old. When I ask I was told it was put out 20 minutes ago. Now, they opened at 11:00 and I got there at 12:10. The only way it could be like that, is the food was leftover. I told her I couldn't do it. And started to walk out. She told me, "This is a buffet, you eat whats there." I said not me, and left. Really? IS this really the best they can do? And to think I tipped her coming in. I won't go there again. Nor, will I ever recommended them. read more

I was sick to my stomach when I left this buffet. I only eat at buffets because I travel for work (construction) and at the end of a 10 hour day I need a lot of food for a decent price. This is a HARD PASS for the future. Patronize at your own risk. Bathrooms (the best measure of a restaurant IMO) are HORRIBLE. read more

Bathrooms are AMAZING like the best bathroom ive ever been too!!!!!!! If you come here the first this you should do is go to the bathroom!!!!! They guys bathroom is not bad but the woman's is even better!!!!! Sometimes i forget there is food!!!!! Definitely check the bathroom out!!!!‍‍ read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Place is dirty, you can tell the food has been sitting out for awhile. There was hardly anyone there even though we were there on a Saturday evening during dinner time. They had a habachi grill.... I questioned how the meats were chilled (it looked very questionable) yet I still had them cook up a dish for me anyway. 6 hours later, I'm now at home with horrible food poisoning (no doubt from the grill) in addition to maybe whatever else had been sitting out there with no temperature control or monitor. I used to come here a lot growing up (10+ years ago), but now I will never come back to this nasty place..... eat at your own risk of food poisoning! read more

Went to Thanksgiving dinner there. They had turkey and no other thanksgiving food items. Turkey was cold as well as other food items. They over salted most of the food. The food was of poor quality. Lesson learned, will not eat there again unless they change hands. read more

Food had been sitting around all day nothing fresh over priced crap. I would not recommend this place AT ALL. I may be having a chance for food poisoning for how gross and old the food was. Do not go here if you value your health. read more

Dirty areas, and bland food. Lots of shellfish options mixed in, but if you have an allergy to this, you have to worry about cross contamination read more

This place was awful. The food was cold and had no flavor and it was old. You could tell it was last nights. We had to get our own drinks and the wait staff were so unfriendly and on her phone even while she took my money. We went there on Christmas Eve and it was $25 per person. I do not see this place being around in a year. Don't waste your time or money. read more

We came in for a quick lunch when the person we were meeting at one of the nearby stores was running late. We asked for a table for two and the hostess was quick to say, "you pay first". We did and were told to seat ourselves. The restaurant is not very well lit, but it was fairly clean. There is quite a large variety of dishes, but sadly, the quality of some of the dishes leave a lot to be desired. Some looked and tasted old and dry. We stayed away from the sushi and dim sum as we didn't really know how long these have been sitting on the buffet. I think if they had less dishes, but better quality, we would return. read more

I don't like giving bad reviews but I'm forced to do one for this establishment. The setting is so so. Clean but not very inviting. It might have been the time I visited 4:00pm. But the food selection was sparce. With many of the trays 1/4 full of wilted or cool food. The only real hot food was the soup and one of the spicey chicken dishes. The Desert tray was filled with a good selection of deserts. The sushi area was available but I had known idea how old it was. I would not recommend this Restaurant to my friends or family. I might be spoiled. read more

OK you need to drop your prices like weigh down like $5 a plate this place is disgusting it's filthy and I don't know what all these other reviews are talking about because that's not what I saw when I walked in there the food is absolutely wretched $20 a person $15 a plate for a child and $5 a pound of wasted food I don't think so dude your food is disgusting it's dried out there's no selection it's a weird selection it makes no sense and it's disgusting it's disgusting and my husband ordered the stir fry And he took 2 bites after it was brought out to him he dropped his fork and he walked out through up. The meat don't taste right the meat don't taste right there so Save yourself a stomach ache and whatever else you might catch at this place. You work way too hard for your money to not get a hot meal in return. read more

They change the trays and leave the same food in there. Most of it isn't even fresh, its leftovers from days before. I came here with the appetite to eat noodles and chicken and my favorite donuts. Donuts were hard, chicken noodles with teriyaki sauce smelled and tasted bad. Floors are sticky, it's always empty in there whenever we go eat, but food wasn't as bad as it was today. This will be the last time I go there. read more

I seldom ever give 2 stars but I will tell you don't eat here. The only positive is the grill where I got piping hot food and the ice cream. Place looked old and dirty, not many Chinese choices. Lunch for 65 and older on Sunday for two was $46.!Never again. read more

itssssss so EFFING GOOD im speechless!!! best buffet ive ever tasted in my whole entire Chinese Buffet Life !!!! WOOOW i have TEARY eyes while eating !! i will tell the whole WORLD about this PLACE !!!!! read more

My husband likes shrimps here. Seating at King Buffet for an hour, nobody come and clean. Disappointed!! read more

King Buffet - Nobody clean our table for an hour! - Chinese Near Me - Everett, Washington

Inspect there food on an hourly basis , have clean food , and hire competent cooks and have cdc inspect thier facility

My mom went there and was sick for 3 weeks. Went to doctor my mom and had a fever food poisoning and the doctor is testing for salmonila

I highly recommend the King's Buffett. It seems to be a family-owned business, it's clean and the food is GREAT. It's a simple but attractive place and the staff is friendly. I've been coming here for a few years every once in a while and I'm NEVER dissapointed. There's a GREAT variety of different foods, both cooked and raw, considering the size of the restraunt, which I'd say is medium. I'm not even a customer of Asian food most of the time except for this place and another one on Everett Mall Way, which I haven't been to for a few years now and that one was good too. The name of that one used to be "Lucky Buffett." However, I've been to the King Buffett several times in that same time period, including last week and today's date is May 12, 2018. I tell you, folks, if someone has a problem with diarrhea or indigestion after coming to King Buffett, it's most likely NOT caused by the restaurant but something else instead, if you ask me anyway, even though I'm NO doctor. I'm going to be honest with you. I haven't tried everything at the King Buffett like the Mongolian grill but it looks FABULOUS. I haven't tried everything on the buffet either but that looks and smells FABULOUS too, if that's any help to you. By the way, that part of the restraunt is clean too. One of the items I've tried there is the Won Ton Soup, which was simple but GOOD. I wish I could remember everything I've tried but like I said, I'm NEVER dissapointed. I ALWAYS remember leaving there feeling like they did a BANG-UP, INCREDIBLEY GREAT job so I SALUTE them. Oh, they have a Frappachino or similar machine, a milk machine with both chocolate and I guess 2 percent white milk and the soda machine includes peach-flavored, no or low-calorie Lipton Tea. For those who want ice cream, there's about four different flavors. Plus, there's small pieces of different cakes and cookies as well. It's an "all you can eat" type of place, as noted in their name, King BUFFET. If you're like me and appreciate some HEALTHY food, there's PLENTY of that too. ONE other thing that is REALLY IMPORTANT to note is that there's a sign at the buffet that tells us to ONLY take the amount of food that we REALLY ARE able to eat in one trip to the buffet. They HATE seeing us waste food and that may be because they're FORCED to RAISE prices when we waste too much food. Something to think about. If you want LOW prices at a BUFFET restraunt, it's a GOOD idea to be CAREFUL regarding the amount of food you CAN REALISTICALLY eat. PLEASE keep this in mind even though our eyes are often WAY BIGGER than our stomachs can REALLY handle. This is fair to EVERYONE so that we can ALL enjoy the GREAT food for GREAT prices. Thank you! I'm going to give King Buffett a 5-Star rating because they deserve it. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KING BUFFETT AND BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!!!! read more

Very hole in the wall location. I went on a very empty night but even if not the tables are very spacious. The food options are not many. I'm used to leaving the buffet stuffed but the options didn't make that possible. read more

We have gone to King Buffet in the past and will go again. We went yesterday 09092021. We hadn't been in over a year. The food for the most was is good. We have gone in in the past and yes, some of the food could have been hotter. And yes, empty trays suck! But, in their defense it's hard to keep trays full when you have two people in line take everything in a tray! The soups were so hot you had to wait to eat it! (that's a good thing) all the other items I tried were very warm if not hot as well. They have really done a 180 since the last time we were there. The only negative issue I can really speak of....the unruly children that run around with little or no parental control. read more

Food was good. Lots of variety. It was exactly what I expect in a buffet. All five of us enjoyed our meals.

I keep coming back at this restaurant, King Buffet because of their Oysters w/ Cheese that i am addicted to, Love it!

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to go, but I was really hungry around 2 for some lunch and took the plunge. For around $11, I got the lunch buffet, which includes a drink. Pretty much all the food I had was warm and seemed rather fresh. There were more empty trays out than I would have liked, but it was still a good selection for lunch. The food was pretty mediocre for the most part, with a few items standing out, but pretty standard Chinese buffet fare. Overall, I would definitely go back, just not that often. read more

Out of all the buffets I been to, this place was terrible for the priced I paid. Food was cold, not all of them, the BBQ ribs was really dry and even cold even. I honestly would not recommend this place. V-Star Buffet (formerly lucky) was better then here. read more

My first time back since the shutdown. Everything was excellent. Protocols were enforced. Food was top notch for buffet style dining. It's good to see this local buffet back read more

Nice quiet spot to eat for a fairly inexpensive price. I came during lunch hours on a weekday and the total was only $23 for a family of three. I think the kids price was under a dollar. Big plus. All the food is hot and there weren't any empty plates. For only having a few workers, they keep everything filled. The entree food was good, but the shu mai and buns were soggy. Fillings weren't great either. Soups were decent, but most of the pastry deserts were too dry. The Mongolian grill was probably the best part. I'd come here again and eat two plates of that. read more
