Kings Buffet has plenty of parking and was half full on a Monday night. They've added more seafood since I last came years ago -- snow crab legs, prawns, clams, crawfish, and salt & pepper blue crab. The blue crab was tasty, but the snow crab legs were pretty bland. Food overall was okay, but for $26.99, the variety felt limited. If you're already in Renton and want a quick crab fix, it's fine. read more

The food and food choices were very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time. The cost was about $30 each.

The service here was fantastic, the staff were very nice and attentive. There was a large selection of food and the restaurant was generally clean. The food was somewhat bland. Think about your average 90s Chinese buffet made for an American suburb. read more

Worst Chinese buffet ever. No shrimp, no beef. Lunch 17.99. OMG terrible. Won't come back anymore.

This was my first buffet experience and it was really fun and affordable. The staff was incredibly nice and all of the food trays were full and taken care of. I had 6 plates and would definitely come back to eat again. read more

Very good food at reasonable prices! I've been going to Kings buffet for years. The service was excellent -- our server was attentive.

I don't understand all the 1 star reviews. Let me tell you something - I've been coming here since I was a kid, almost 20 years. Have there been off nights? Yes, of course, you can expect that in many restaurants. But the majority of the time, I've enjoyed the food, and the service is great. Even though the price has gone up some over the years, it's still (in my opinion) a good deal. It's an AYCE buffet, so as long as you don't go in expecting Michelin star food, you won't be disappointed. They've got a pretty decent selection of food, and I like their salad bar. Sushi is so-so but it's not bad for a buffet. It's not a big restaurant, so it never gets too loud, and the servers are always on top of clearing the tables and refilling drinks. All in all, great little place. read more

Came back for the first time since my 16th birthday and so much has changed. While the food choices in the buffet has changed, the quality of the food has not. Food was delicious and filling. Went through five plates before calling it. Main Course, Sushi, Final Stretch, Fruit and Dessert. Servers were kind and wonderful. Drinks and refills were very swift. And as for the overall environment. Not too noisy, but not super quiet. Just business as usual on a Friday Night. Was a little busy when my friends and I arrived, but it simmered down over the next two hours. Will be coming back for more! read more

Beautiful place to eat. I like the food and the amazing service. The right collection of food I didn't have to travel all the way on the other side of the hallway to get food. But I love to go to this place cause it's exactly what I like on my plate. Thank you so much for your service and a great hospitality read more

We came back for lunch and are glad we did. It's definitely a better choice for lunch than dinner. The food looked more appetizing for some reason - I noticed them refreshing often and everything was hot. The husband loved the brisket so much he went back for seconds. I enjoyed the fried rice. The service was impeccable. Even very crowded, they strove to do move quickly and satisfy everyone. That was impressive. read more

Sushi rolls here are AMAZING. (Better than Mandarin Buffet's sushi rolls!)I do wish the dinner sashimi did not have that Thai sweet sauce glazed on top of all the pieces, though --Way too sweet and not a good match. (Can't they just leave it off to the side for those who wish to indulge in that?) Wish the ginger lobster I had here one time would come back. read more

It's ok. Standard Asian buffet. Salad bar, sushi bar, fried rice, chow mein, broccoli beef, snow crab legs, and too many more to list. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon with my dad. We were seated right away, not busy. It had several food stations: sushi, seafood, fried, fruit, salad, dessert, and the standard hot food. Clean, not messy or dirty. Good buffet for casual dining. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for about 25 years. No complaints. Good selection of dishes, tasty food, friendly service.

Every time I'm working in the area I have to visit this buffet. They are very clean, and the food is tasty. Service it's really good, employees are very attentive and friendly. It's priced right and the variety it's really good. The most important thing is how clean this place is and all employees are hands on deck to clean and keep it all nice. read more

I heard of this place last time I was in town on business, so I drove over from my hotel today and what a great choice for dinner. All you can eat seafood &Chinese food buffet. It did not disappoint.

I could write a book about how great the food was and is. Was greeted with friendly faces and the ambiance typical for a Chinese food buffet not complaiing just wish I had dined there more often on this work trip. The military discount even made itmore worth my wild. I highly recommend recommend Kings if your In the Renton area. read more

WOW a variety of Asian food Alway fresh fruit it's a smorgasbord of food when I in Renton Washington and Hungry I stop here

If I could do no stars I would. My whole freaking family got food poisoning, it's super expensive for what it is, the food is disgusting and the place is super dirty. Currently in the ER because they dont do food safety and who knows what goes on behind in the kitchen. read more

First time visit and probably my last! Food quality didn't seem all that great. Tried out the Sushi, the California Rolls and Tamago. But they didn't seem all that fresh or tasty. They were definitely missing something. Ate the Dumplings, Fried Chicken Wings, General Tso's Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, vegetable noodles, and Siomai. Let's just say there are much better places with much better food elsewhere. They also had crawfish which my family had and they said it tasted like they were store bought and frozen! I can say is that the siomai were terrible, had some weird flavor to them, the Beef and Broccoli seemed a little bland and old, General Tso's Chicken was too sweet and overpowering with sauce when it was supposed to be spicy, the Sushi didn't taste fresh, the rice tasted old. Chicken wings were alright, Dumplings had no seasoning for the fillings and the noodles were very bland. For $25 a person for Dinner prices, kinda expensive for the low quality and for the small amount of selection of food choices available. Best to go somewhere else if you want to eat at a buffet... read more

Super fresh Sushi, great selection and great service, and the price is reasonable too! Can't ask for anything more.

Food was AWFUL, terribly cooked, incorrectly cleaned and overall disgusting, and I can find something good almost everywhere I go, BUT NOT here! The have beef ribs (bones with gristle and bbq sauce) whole fried fish (cooked evidently for hours in old oil) and hot shrimp (shells and heads on and cooked so throughly there is no separating shrimp from shell) and other "sounding" good offerings. I assumed it would be cheap (as in quality) due to the buffet style but didn't expect it to be so completely inedible. Ok so maybe since it's a Chinese Buffet I should stick with Chinese Food, WRONG! General Taos Chicken was overcooked pieces of breading with a gummy says on it, the Hunan Beef (Beef and Broccoli) was, BAD, not just in taste, but I swear the beef was "bad" as in turned as in not fit for consumption! Please avoid this place at any opportunity! I'm just saying..... read more

I've been going to king buffet since I was 15:) Proud to say the flavor of their mains still wins my mom's opinion over the other popular buffets like Feast, mizuki, etc. please don't let their rating here on Yelp deter you from coming. Their selection is small but so tasty, consistent, and affordable! The Good/ Recs: + $25/pp (after tax) and this includes crab legs, sometimes lobster, whelk, crawfish, clams, fish, and other seafood items? Amazing and expertly seasoned. + short ribs, general tsao chicken and fried chicken wings are very good + hibachi grill for some stir fried noodles + sushi is flavorful and they have seaweed salad/ sashimi now! + love their tasty veggies.. broccoli, cabbage, and string beans cooked to perfection + get their sesame ball, fluffy sugar donut and crab Rangoons cuz why not lol + get some soft serve before you leave + big parking lot -- you'll have no trouble here + nice, attentive waiters that I remember from way back when... and they're still working as hard as they can.... Please tip these people as best as you can. The meh: - sometimes their counter can be messy (mostly from the messy, entitled patrons) but they get cleaned up fast by an attendant - the bathroom is sometimes messy (mostly from the messy patrons lol) but they get cleaned up Summary: if you stick to my recommendation above, you'll find that $25/p is more than worth your money and stomach space. King buffet has been incredible over the years and deserves community support.. see y'all soon hehe!! read more

Food is yummy, service is awesome, and the prices are affordable. Me and my family have been coming here for years!

Boy let me tell youuu! I Always pay so much money go to feast buffet. We finally decided to try it here it was our first time I was pretty impressed. The staff are really friendly, everything is sooo clean! They very attentive to cleaning all the stations and refilling. Food is soo good everything is tasty! Sushi is bomb! It has less options then other buffets but what they have is good so I prefer less options with better taste. Seafood options are pretty good too! We will be returning (: read more

The selection here is worth the price. Crab legs, sushi, some other selection of meat and salad and fruit and sweets. Definitely a place I would recommend if you're hungry. The people are nice too. read more

My wife and I absolutely love this place. They have all of our favorite main dishes. You definitely get your moneys worth especially with all of the seafood that they have to offer. It may not be as extensive of options as other buffets, but better quality in my opinion, plus the customer service is phenomenal. They know us by name and take really good care of us each time. read more

Love this place ! It's small but the food is great & the people there are so nice. The price is cheap compare to anything here in Renton/Seattle. I enjoy coming here with my family :) read more

horrible food not one thing was good! dry dumplings, sushi tasted like it went bad, egg drop soup had no flavor and tasted like mucus, chicken dry, noodles dry, do jot waste your moneu here!! read more

I started of my meal annoyed at being charged for a soda fee despite telling them I only drink water. While the food is relatively decent the location and cleanliness is less than to be desired. Unfortunately the table I was sat at was incredibly dirty with crumbs and dirt lining the window next to my booth. For the price of $30 it wasn't worth it in my opinion. read more

King Buffet has opened back up since a few months ago! Looks like still under the same owners as before. I used to come here a lot pre-covid whenever I was craving some dinner buffet and eating here was much cheaper than going to Feast because the price was in the teens. But that gap feels like it has lessened now due to King Buffet retaining the same food quality while price increased ($22 weekday dinner). Most of the hot food was OK (just like it used to be), a few selections were subpar (the crab was overcooked and sticking to the shell, the fish was dry, the corn smelled funny). The fruit/dessert station is still pretty sad with low quality fruits and many canned fruits/snacks selections. The sushi bar is decent and was relocated to where the Mongolian barbecue grill station used to be. However, that does mean they took away the Mongolian grill altogether which is unfortunate as the stir fried dishes and noodle soups used to be one of the favorites. Overall 2.5 out of 5 - don't see myself coming back soon. read more

everything was over cooked. sushi was mostly rice. crab had almost no meat and tasted like salty dish water. dessert cake was dry and not worth it. service was ok, but they mostly just crowded together talking and on the phone scrolling. read more

Update : came for dinner and it was a 3/5. Less of a selection than lunch and the important dishes in a typical Chinese buffet aren't there. The food items I did have were delicious! And staff were attentive! So I will still be coming back. Just for lunch though read more

Too expensive and the foods is not that good Been here a few times and prices keep increase and increase read more

The ice cream was good but there was a hair in my chow mein. do not eat the chow mein it will have hairs .

The food and the service are always amazing. This says a lot for a buffet, which is usually a little sketchy.

I'll start this off by saying you get what you pay for. This is a smaller, more casual buffet that's good for a quick lunch or a dinner with family. In saying that I have to say the selections also reflects the size of the buffet - although the options are still bountiful, hot, fresh, and DELICIOUS. Seriously, I didn't expect it to be so flavorful... to the point where I was craving their dishes a few days later at home. I like to think of this place as an AYCE version of my favorite chinese take out spots. To touch on the atmosphere a bit more; there is never an issue with crowding or cleanliness, and they're sure to have fresh pans of low items revolving at all times. The seating can be as open or secluded as your party desires and the lighting is always soft and warm. The drinks come with free refills, but don't get full on them before you can enjoy their other treats. Speaking of their drinks, their lemonade is phenomenal!! I know it's probably from a fountain but it's the perfect beverage for a hot meal - not too sweet or tart, and actually refreshing. To some who may be discouraged by the lower reviews: If you want more variety and a more upscale atmosphere, absolutely go for feast, but also know you'll be paying at least 25% higher of a price/person. This buffet does casual AYCE dining well and they never disappoint. I'm glad they survived the 2 years of chaos we experienced and hope they continue to thrive. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Place was fairly busy but I was seated quickly. I found the choice of dishes to be adequate but nothing that I would classify as delicious. I didn't see any sushi or a grill. There were two tables with heated dishes. Staff was friendly and brought me tea promptly. Overall ok. Probably wouldn't return unless I happen to be in the neighborhood again and am hungry for lunch. . read more

The best Buffett in Renton, exceptional service and great price. What else can you ask for.

I had to go up to Seattle to take my grandmother up for a follow-up at Harborview Hospital and I wanted to treat her and my mom to lunch. Last visit back in March we had stopped somewhere else for all you can eat buffet and didn't like it what so ever. So I was review places to eat and I came across King Buffet and I decided to check it out. I am SO glad that I did. We were instantly great as we walked in with friendly staff. It was a nice little cozy place that was pretty busy. The food was fresh, hot and flavorful. It's been such a long time since I've had delicious Chinese buffet that was fresh and hot. The wait staff was amazing always making sure our plates that we had finished were cleared and our glass were refilled. I'd HIGHLY recommend if you are in the area check this place out. I will definitely be back. read more
