    The restaurant is dated and dusty. The staff seems very attentive and friendly. They do a good job of bussing the tables quickly. They have a wide variety of choices here on the buffet line including crab legs and other sea fare. They also have an a la cart menu if you choose to not partake in the buffet. I was hoping to just do the salad bar but it was not an option. So I didn't eat. My husband ate some beef stir fry dish but not much else did not like most of the food he tried. My cousin barely touched her food, she did enjoy the chicken wings, however the fried wonton filling was very little and not great. The crab legs which is why we came, I was told were not great and very salty. Too bad, not a lot of good buffet spots anymore.

    Egg Drop Soup!  SOO GOOD!

    OKKKK, We have lived in the Reno area for over 20 years...My hubby is not much of a fan of buffets, so we never went in there to eat.... It was always busy, so I thought, lots of cars were always there, so it might be good.... I Looked at reviews, they were all over the place....I was out with my friends shoppping today, and we were over at Savers, so we thought we would just go in and check it out, and if it was dirty, we were leaving. We walked inside and I was really blown away, WHY?? I thought it would be greasy, you name it.... It WAS ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS! WOW! We decided to stay and eat.. That was a great choice! Was it ever!! I started off with egg drop soup and they had sweet and sour soup, it was really good!! We then went to the buffet for our food... SOOO much to pick from , yu start from the right side, grab your plate, so many choices to choose from.. Then to the Appetizers.... Lots of sushi rolls, salad stuff, you name it, they had it.. Egg rolls, Wontons, egg Fu Yung, sweet and sour pork, beef broccoli, sesame balls, fried rice, rice, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! You can so tell that they care about their food and Customers. Very attentive.. We could not get over how clean this place was.... there was NOT EVEN A fingerprint on the glass above the buffet. Even though there was a drink station in the middle of the restaurant, server came by many times for refills. I was very impressed. I expected the worse and was completely blown away..... I do not eat much at all, my friend I was with , even said, I never , ever see you eat that much. I was like YAYYYYY! I have lost a lot of weight and not usually hungry, this FOOD WAS absolutely AMAZING! DELICIOUS! We will be definitely be going back.... YUMMY! Oh yeah, we finished it off with ice cream, well, it was not really that creamy, it was more chocolate ice, but still really good.... I am really impressed now with place. You can soooooo see these people care about their business and their Customers.. REALLY good food.. I am bringing my family here.... Sooo good... Even my hubby was surprised at how much I ate. Go there, you will not be disappointed ad why I waited so long is beyond me.

    Second time eating there. The AC very inconsistent. By the windows blazing hot, near the door cold. Seafood is pretty good and I haven't gotten sick either time that I ate there. I went for the seafood options, crab, shrimp and mussels

    Our last visit to King Buffet was two years ago and that experience made us not want to return. Our initial choice was closed, so we decided to dine at King Buffet on Tuesday evening. It was still fairly early, so when we arrived at the restaurant, there were only two other groups of customers. The buffet line was full of food: different kinds fruits and salads, a selection of sushi, fried chicken wings, fries, pizza and donut holes (for the kids I assume), potstickers, egg rolls, baked salmon, salt-and-pepper shrimp, salt-and-pepper crab legs, mussels, chow mien, fried rice, sautéed green beans, stewed mushrooms, seafood stir-fry, beef broccoli, orange chicken, stir-fried mixed vegetables, cashew chicken, butter shrimp, barbecue chicken and a couple more dishes I couldn't identify; plus the whole made-to-order stir-fry section. A couple of people in our party commented that as plentiful as the selection was, the food was kind of bland and unimpressive. I liked the butter shrimp, stewed mushrooms and potstickers the best and went back for seconds. The servers were efficient and polite; overall, we had a fairly average meal but on the whole a more positive experience compared to our last visit.

    I'd never been here to this King Buffet in Reno before, but was invited down here from Tahoe where I'm enjoying some down time. It was a Sunday, so they are supposed to have the best spread of food. The price was $22 per person plus tax and some tip. The reviews I saw was not so encouraging, but I've learned to not really trust Yelp reviews when it comes to buffets. Only the people that wanna complain post and the people that liked it, don't bother to post. We arrived right at 11:00 opening, as one should to have the best buffet experience. All the food is new and hot and unmolested by inconsiderate diners, putting food tongs back in the wrong tray or picking out all the beef from the beef and broccoli. Get there first! I thought the food was very good and had a good variety. The snow crab legs were placed deep into the steam tray so you really have to reach and have long arms ... I guess that's so it's harder to get and you don't take as much ... didn't stop us! There was lots of seafood, maybe not top end like a $100 buffet in Vegas, but OK for the price. They even had whole steamed ginger garlic fish, you never see that at most Chinese buffets. Sushi was typical buffet sushi, mostly CA Rolls with some fish on top. All the usual Chinese dishes were there. The chicken wings were super good, I really liked those. The service on the other had was terrible, I'd say even worse than most Chinese buffets where all they do is clear the plates. Here they didn't even do that! We had a pile of at least SIX plates stacked to be cleared at the edge of the table and it was a long time before it was cleared. Servers even walked by and I saw them notice, but did nothing! Water's were never filled either. Well, I'm here for the food, so that's what matters most and it was pretty decent for the price. Just get here here early and not 30 min before closing expecting hot fresh food ... there won't be.

    Although most of the reviews on this buffet was pretty negative, surprisingly I had a positive experience after dining at this restaurant. I recently had lunch at the Asian food buffet and overall it was fantastic. Not only were the prices pretty cheap ($18 for lunch on weekends), but the staff was attentive and consistently asked if my table needed refills on our drinks and took dirty plates off. The buffet was clean, the food had a wide variety of choices, ranging from sushi and dim sum to stir-fries and bbq meat with dessert as well. Everything tasted fresh and had a lot of flavor. It was not too busy inside and there were many seatings in the dining area. My final take on this restaurant is that this place surprised me and will become a new go-to spot for a delicious and authentic chinese buffet for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend giving this establishment a try!

Well here at the J casino I can assure you that even though this buffet doesn't look like much at first glance it packs a powerful wallop. There is no skipping the line, even if you are a higher tiered member. I actually like that because I find it to be fair. Just the way the good lord intended we eat at places of convenience. Luckily the line wasn't too long and the person behind the register was swift. Next our server was great! Her name was Janet and she also works as a nurse practitioner for elderly people, and you would think that would make her slower or perhaps a little too exhausted to keep at it, but to our surprise she was beyond helpful and the service was excellent. The buffet has crab legs, mini pizzas, salads, pastas, and desserts there's plenty of variety and lots of friendly faces to assist you if you should need anything. The overall environment seems eager to help. Very much recommended this place, it's one of my new staples in my diet.

That should tell you everything you need to know. Our first interaction was with the buffet manager Vasco and he set the tone immediately. Warm, engaging and genuinely personable. My husband struck up a conversation with him about his watch and it turned into one of those interactions that just makes you smile. Vasco was just as great when we saw him again on Sunday. Our server Jose on Saturday was attentive and kind throughout the entire evening and our server on Sunday was equally as wonderful, I just wish I had caught his name. Now let me talk about the food because I know what you might be thinking. If you have been to one casino buffet you have been to them all. That was not the case here. Everything I tasted was good and I mean everything. Not one miss between my husband and me all night. But the dessert selection is what really got me. I have been to cruises, all inclusive resorts and plenty of casino buffets and the dessert spread here stood out. We are talking large slices of cheesecake, cookies, apple fritters, glazed donuts, lava cake, red velvet cupcakes, beignets, what tasted like gelato with toppings and so much more. My husband was especially happy about the apple fritters. Oh and I cannot leave this out. When I walked up to the register Sunday morning the cashier complimented my dress and honestly it just made my whole morning. Little things like that go a long way. Overall a really wonderful experience both days. The food, the service and the people made it memorable. We will definitely be back.

The server grabbed us another when we asked but her tone while informing us it was normal was passive aggressive, almost as if our request was weird and inconvenient. She would come up later to critique our grilling because our gas went out a few times but I think the one we were sat at wasn't working well as this had not happened before here or any other kbbq spot we've visited. After this, it seemed like we were a burden. We asked for a plate to place cooked meat away from the raw ones and it seemed like the supervisor for the night came up to us for this. She asked why we would need one and then snapped that they couldn't due to something like they were already portioned. We were there 4 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be any wait up front, and yet 1.5 hours in and the server became more insistent on checking on us (they only came up twice prior to this after we flagged them down). On top of this, the food quality since the last time had declined just as much. The rice cakes weren't cooked fully and cold, the cheese for the corn cheese rubbery, and ice cream freezer burnt. For the price of $40 (where we do the cooking mind you), you would expect better efficient service and food. We will not be visiting again.

I came here during the holiday, Mother's Day, which had an influx of guests at the restaurant. The server throughout my dining experience was Tori. She was recently hired as a new server and wasn't too knowledgeable about the menu as of yet. With that being said, I desired to show patience and grace since she was still in the training stage. I proceeded to order the following items for dinner: * Oysters on the Half Shell (6) * Lobster Bisque Bowl * $29 Special - Filet Mignon & Jumbo Shrimp with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes The entire occurrence presented as quite interesting, to say the least. I first received the oysters. It had arrived with an empty serving vessel, which was supposed to be filled with the mignonette sauce. Tori quickly fixed this mistake. The oysters met expectations in terms of freshness and quality. They were very delicious with the mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon juice. Then, I received the Lobster Tomato Bisque. The soup was lacking in flavor and needed help in the seasoning department. I grabbed the peppercorn grinder, which was readily available at the table. Upon twisting the grinder, a lot of peppercorns fell into the soup unfortunately. I kindly requested that Tori replace the soup. A nearby table had the same situation, where an individual had a bunch of pink salt spill over the baked potato dish. Tori was also their server. I noticed that Tori pointed at me and mentioned to the party that I did the same action. When making that observation, I was quite embarrassed. I understood that Tori was trying to make the other table feel better but the finger-pointing provided a slightly unpleasant feeling to me. I finally received the Filet Mignon & Jumbo Shrimp with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes as the entree. However, it took a total of 1.5 hours to arrive at the table. It was quite long and a little frustrating, especially since I've noticed that a couple of parties that seated after me ordered the same meal deal and their food arrived before mine. The steak and shrimp were delectable. The green beans were bland (used butter, pepper + salt) and the mashed potatoes were decent in flavor. All in all, the evening at Boomtown Steakhouse was underwhelming. From the food taking a while to come out, sitting down at a wobbly table, the soup tasting bland, and the overall hospitality from Tori, the experience left some room to be desired. At the end, I truly appreciated the complimentary chocolate mousse dessert. This offering made up slightly for everything that had transpired. I don't recommend visiting this restaurant on a holiday, including Mother's Day. When I decide to return here, it will be on a regular weekday.
