we came with a big group after a family baptism. we asked if we could pay before we go in to avoid them having to try to figure out which family belongs with who. They said no when it was time to pay they were rude and belligerent because they said there is too many of us and everyone is sitting everywhere. They stood in the door way just staring at us. Their food was subpar, customer service terrible, no one spoke good english and they were getting frustrated cause they couldn't understand us. it really is beyond me why they make things so complicated! make people pay before you go in will solve all their problems. we will never go back, i do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Holy cow! How did I not know about this place before now? It's unreal! First of all, the prices seem too good to be true for everything they offer. $8.95 for lunch, and $12.95 for dinner?! They have rows upon rows of fresh seafood, salads, fruit, prepared Asian dishes -all your favorites, Mongolian BBQ, sushi, dessert, including a 10 foot chocolate fountain! This place is so busy everything is constantly fresh. You cannot go wrong here. There's something for everyone. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. We will be regulars. read more

This is my favorite buffet in the area! The food is delicious, the selection is huge, the service is prompt and amazing, the restaurant is clean, and the price is more than affordable. King buffet is more than your average Asian buffet. The restaurant is big and the selection is much larger than most in the area. Lots of hot items including salmon, stuffed shrimp, scallops, egg rolls, crab bake, dumplings, mozzarella sticks, fried bananas, cream cheese wontons, ribs, soups, all the regulars like sweet and sour, sesame chicken... there is so much stuff It'd take forever to name it all. They even have a selection of GOOD sushi. Also, there is a Mongolian grill for you to create your own noodle creations and stir fries. There is a little different selection for dinner such as crabs and other seafood items, but for the most part everything is the same. Personally my favorite things are the sushi, stuffed shrimp, Thai chicken, egg drop soup, tilapia, and so much more Besides the food the other great thing about this place is the service. I've never had better consistent service anywhere. Servers are very quick to fill drinks and remove plates. They don't rush you or linger. They are perfect. A different thing about this buffet they bring the check to you and you pay like you would a normal sit down restaurant. The check for 1 person for lunch is around $10 without a drink. Great price for what you're getting! Dinner and weekends are 12.99 before tax and tip. Still definitely worth it. Way to go King Buffet! read more

MISTREATMENT The waiter asked us to leave because there was a lot of people. She went back and was talking on her language very loud and pointing at my two friends and me. The waiter came back and aggressively took out food dishes and she threw us her DIRTY GREEN CLEANING CLOTH on the table and almost hit me in the face and leave it there and left. The waiter corporal language was the nastiest towards us. read more

King buffet in Orem was fun. I speak Chinese and the wait staff were all nice and even playful in both English and Mandarin. I took my girlfriend because her grandma loves the place. The food is what you expect. On par or better than most buffets I have been to. Tons of options and they change things out quickly. I personally don't eat sushi from Asian buffets but the Mongolian grill and all do the dishes I tried were great! Jalapeño chicken might be my favorite. If you want to eat A TON of food that's good for like $8 for lunch then this is an amazing option. I took my guy friends back because I knew they would love it. read more

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Orem, Utah

Great experience! Surprisingly delicious! Hot and fresh, great choices. Hard working, friendly staff. We will come back again. Worth the ride from north Utah co. Try the jalapeño chicken. The sesame balls were yummy. Inexpensive, well worth the cost. And it's huge! Plenty of nice, comfortable seating, so you don't feel like you have to rush out. We really liked this place. Best buffet for miles around. read more

We have been to so many buffets in Utah and other states, and this place has the best food for the price, and has a lot of variety! You can never get bored here. read more

They do a great job with service and variety. Staff was wonderful. Great variety of rolls. Plentiful quantities, but nothing spectacular. I came wanting fish. It was there, but not my favorite in taste and a hair tough.. I had to get directions to find lemon and tarter sauce. I admit it, I miss Skippers. For the price I probably will go to In-N-Out next time. read more

For the price, not too shabby. The Mongolian/Hibachi type Grill is what makes this experience worth it. Very cool. There is a bar of raw ingredients, fill the bowl with your own selections, and then the chef cooks it for you. The other buffet food is ok. Nothing special, but good. We'll go back! read more

Family friendly. Service was good but food was mediocre. However it's a buffet so it's what you typically get.

Serve yourself at a big cafeteria spread of Chinese, American, and sushi. Adventuresome eating. Some things are great, some are awful (calamari that can't be chewed). Apply super grazing. Try a small sample of what interests you and then go back. The spring rolls seem to be constantly good. read more

Overall it's a pretty decent place. Okay food sometimes, depending on when you go it will be fresher or not. I'd honestly stay away from the sushi, I've never been able to catch it on a good day. But the stir fry is decent and they do have a large selection so great for kids. read more

Horrible place. Run down and though a lot of choices, everything tasted horrible. Saturday at 3:30pm between Xmas shopping rounds. Let manager know but he didn't seem to care. Specifically, buffet sushi is usually scary, but this was worse. Dried out. At least they keep.ir cold. Thought I'd try heated choices, all three were either luke warm to cold or you could taste rancid oil. Several better chinese buffet choices in Orem. NEVER will go back. read more

This is my go to Chinese restaurant. The food is always fresh, the sushi options are excellent, and the hibachi is on point. The ONLY reason I can't give a five star rating is the "house" egg rolls. They're stuffed with what tastes like Thanksgiving dressing that has artificial krab in the middle. Oh, and they're cut in half, so you're missing the nice crunch of the ends of a regular egg roll. I love this place, but every time I walk by these rolls, I glare at them, lol! Otherwise, it's really good and very clean. read more

Wow there are so many items at this buffet. There is a big waiting area but I've never had to wait when I've gone here. The Mongolian BBQ isn't that great. The sushi selection is adequate. I like the variety of fresh fruits, hot entrees and seafood. There is even a chocolate fountain but I passed on it when I watched a little kids lick a big serving spoon and dunk it in the chocolate. I like the Chinese donuts. They taste like deep fried refrigerator biscuits rolled in sugar. read more

Some places merit a review the day after I visit them... others (like England and Barcelona) can wait. King buffet needs it's time in the sun. Lunch buffet price is 9.65 with tax. I am not a buffet person because my stomach just can't seem to handle too much food in one sitting. But when I saw the polarizing reviews... my fingers salivated (yes my fingers, because of typing... get it?). First off... I have loved reading the hate reviews for this place. They make me laugh so hard, like what exactly were you expecting, it is a buffet? You name me a buffet with high-class cuisine, and I'll call you a liar. That includes Vegas. This place is huge and has so many offerings. I got two mongolian bbq bowls and tried one of each thing on the menu. The mongolian bbq bowls were my favorite and hit the spot. The rest of the food was okay. Nothing great. Just like all food made en masse. I hate to judge people at buffets but there was a larger gentleman who put away... 5 high piling plates of food just in the time I was there, who knows how much he ate before I got there. All of this to say it is a good value for the price. Also, I went by myself to get the true full experience of the buffet. You know... single, loser, that needs to get the most out of a meal as I can, listening to a podcast. That seems a little judgemental of me because that is what it is. THE VERDICT: Loved it. Food is a little bit dirty, loved the cream cheese wontons, chickens were okay. Mongolian was great. It is like the Disneyland of food. If you are looking for high quantities of food for cheap... this is where you have to go. Also... wear a hoody and listen to a podcast to enrich the experience even more. read more

Finally! A decent Chinese buffet in Provo/Orem area. Tons of variety, salad bar, soft serve ice cream and a chocolate fountain. The food is decent. It isn't amazing, but if you expect that from a buffet you'll be searching a long time. Sushi is pretty bland. The Mongolian grill was popular with our crowd. Squid was overcooked, but they had it, which is impressive. They also had stuffed shrimp, meat pies and a number of other items (mostly seafood) that I don't always see at buffets. The staff takes really good care of the place. We saw a waitress wipe down the table, the booth, and the feet of the table next to us and it didn't even look dirty to begin with. They charge extra for drinks ($1.99) and they also sell to-go ice cream cups for a dollar. Fun lighting. The Eiffel Tower images on the lights are a bit out of place but it made us smile. We'll be back! read more

We ate here around 8pm and the place is okay. The food is not as fresh because it is after dinner hours. Our favorite is the Mongolian grill and baked mussels. read more

The food is good but the treatment is terrible, I felt assaulted. Please keep that in mind.

This place is MASSIVE. The atmosphere is extremely chaotic and loud. The tables are so close together you are practically sitting on the next tables laps. It was very full and busy, they call out your number to be seated over a aur horn...inside. it's hard to understand. There are a ton of food options, some of them very strange. Clams with cheese in top, they advertise crab legs, but they are little bits and pieces inside of some sort of sauce. They have a Mongolian grill, but all of the food handles were sticky and the meats were thawed and it made me nervous to try it. There is a chocolate fountain to dip marshmallows and such in, the kids were going crazy over it and sticking their hands in the recycling chocolate. In short: crazy busy, huge, tons of food options, nothing amazing, kind of a mess. I won't be going back. read more

I have been to King Buffet four times. Twice for lunch, twice for dinner and took my family each time. These are my opinions: Pros: - Good price point for quality / choices - Variety of safe to out-of-the-box foods - Clean tables, floors and bathrooms - Has a very "Asian" feel to ambience - Safe for families and large groups - Low wait times Cons: - Only Pepsi products - Gets a bit hectic at busy times - Choices felt a bit too westernized read more

Food was really good, and HUGE selection. Once my family and I finished eating though, we all got extremely sick. Idk if it was just an off day or what, but all of us were running to the toilet after. It's unfortunate because we really enjoyed it. read more

Fairly good food, Good verity. Busy but not overly croud. This is a chain so if you like one location your probably like others. I like the deferent items they have like squid and octopus. Most Chinese places much less buffets. read more

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Orem, Utah

Huge variety, Mongolian grill, chocolate fountain, tons of seating etc. two issues, the sushi was not that great but it's to be expected, I noticed they made a huge amount of rolls and had them sitting there off to the side for a while that may contribute to the dry rice and oldish taste. If they did "made to order", it would reduce waste and be better imo. The Mongolian grill was nice, but it was really messy when we went, I was put off by the sticky sauce mess. Other than that pretty good for a buffet! read more

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Orem, Utah

I ordered a fruit punch and they brought it to me with hot sauce in it. This is absolutely disgusting. They either did not clean the cup or purposefully put hot sauce in my drink. No wonder my food was all tasting gross. It took me finishing the drink to figure it out. Would give it 0 stars if possible. Disgusting never coming back read more

Worse Chinese my husband and I have had. Some of the chicken selections had greasy tasting chicken. The white rice was mushy. We got there 10 minutes after they opened for lunch and the rice was already over cooked. Some of the seasoning didn't stay right. We didn't do the Mongolian since we were to afraid to try it. Some of the items were not labeled so you didn't know if something was chicken, pork or beef - or even what the item was. They had fried zucchini which the coating was falling off and the zucchini was still hard. It was beautiful inside which is why I can justify giving them one star. However, we couldn't figure out why there was the Effiel Tower lights had to do with Chinese food. We we both sick for the rest of the day and couldn't eat until the following day. I had to drive us home so we had a bathroom available to us at all times. We had such a horrible experience at this restaurant that you couldn't pay me to go back. It was a waste of money. read more

Omg it is so good the food is the best plus they make you feel so welcomed and they are making sure if you are ok. read more

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Orem, Utah

Best Chinese buffet ever! Huge selection! The staff is always super friendly with my young kids. I love the pepper chicken and the spareribs. The vermicelli noodles with egg is so good as well. It's all good here and it's affordable, i totally recommend this place. read more

do not eat here, you are wasting your money on old, dry, contaminated food. someone call the health department

The food here is okay. The sushi rice doesn't have brown sugar in it to season it like other places. The chicken here isn't bad as well. Overall the food for the price is okay but the seasoning of the food isn't as good as other buffets I've been too for the price read more

When the place 1st opened it was fantastic. The food was good and it was very clean. Not anymore. The floors are filthy and there is a lot of food on the floor. The food is OK but I think the Feast is a better, cleaner place to eat. read more

PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I went with my family on the Fourth of July with my 2 babies. We all got food poisoning!! Its been non-stop throwing up my babies both under 5 had noodles and rice got INSANELY sick. I have had a fever and also constantly been throwing up. I really urge people to NOT eat here. I will 100% be calling the health department. read more

This place is great. I feel like I easily get my money worth by eating 5 giant plates of craw fish alone. The selection is awesome, and the sushi is surprisingly good, actually better than a lot of actual sushi restaurants in the area. read more

Will never eat here again. Would give 0 stars if possible. Service was horrible. No one ever came to refill our drinks. Half of the food was cold, and the other half had been sitting so long it was hard or dry and tasted nasty. Don't waste your time going here. read more

Horrible food. One time we did have OK food but the last two times it's day old or older, dried out meat, bad bad food I would not go here or recommend it. read more

I'm surprised by all of the negative reviews, like it's a buffet? Do y'all even know what a buffet is? This place has a great selection and is VERY clean. I was genuinely surprised walking in and seeing how clean it was. And ya, the food is BUFFET food, you're coming here for quantity, not quality. That being said tho, the food is still objectively good. read more

For the price, it's a solid place. A lot to choose from, employees seem pretty nice, but the quality is so meh. So if you're on a budget, come eat your heart out. For me, I will pay little extra in the future for better, more quality food. read more

For buffet fare it's actually pretty good. Lots of variety including salad, Chinese and other Asian options including sushi and Mongolian grill. read more

This place reminds me of the buffets in Vegas. Various food options (mostly oriental). My favorite is the Mongolian BBQ where you create your own stir-fry & they cook it right in front of you. They have some of the freshest sushi in town. My kids love the self-serve ice cream & chocolate fountain. We have always have friendly service. read more
