Plate Three: The Final Stretch
Brendan L.

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!

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.

Most current prices as of Sept 2025

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.

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. The crab legs amazing, fried chicken wings excellent, BBQ chicken another amazing eat the Kungpow chicken couldn't be better the cream cheese wontons also amazing . 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.

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...

Great!

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!!

A triumph itself in Renton, Triumph Valley has boasted versatility throughout the years since it's…read moreopening. From ramen, to hot pot, large parties and of course a traditional menu. But for those in the know, Triumph Valley is really known for their dim sum menu! Off the beaten path, you have to take State Highway 167, as its just south of the large IKEA store. But definitely a culinary landmark if you are a constant diner of Chinese cuisine, and dim sum afficianado. There are only three dim sum, or dumpling lunch providers in or around the City of Renton (technically two). This is one of them, and if you are not early, it can get really crowded, especially on weekends. But the staff bravely soldiers-on with their dilligent service. The restaurant's ambiance takes advantage of its interior with strategic lighting in their dining hall. Very utilitarian, while trying to ensure a little bit of style. They also modernize the experience with electronic waiting and ordering system on portable touch screens. It actually helps the service. No paper. As for me, my focus is on the dim sum. All of my favorites are there. And, as diner of one, it was hard not to want to order everything. So, I ordered the "basics" of a dim sum lunch. One order of Shiu Mai, one order of Har Gow, and one order steamed BBQ Pork. It was pretty much all you need along with an order of tea, as well as a Diet Coke to wash it all down. There were other traditional dim sum selections, but I knew my tummy (and wallet) wouldn't absorb it all - as much as I would have liked. Steamed beancurd sheets, beef meatballs, steamed sticky rice in banana leaves... chicken feet, it was all there. The best way is to make a plan, and invite lots of freinds to make sure you can try EVERYTHING! Yes, there are other menu items, like I said, but for Dim Sum dining in Renton, this is the place!!!! See you at Triumph Valley.

Many people have…read morementioned a high price point, small portions, no options for children, and I must say break down the these issues individually to help you all make a decision to try it out or not. Price Point - There are several meat options served here that are very expensive but we tried it all. My personal favorites were the Spicy Pork Cutlet, the Salmon and Rice Bowl, and the wagyu sirloin skewers. Being from Missouri I knew that the prices would be a bit more than what I was used to but it really wasn't that significant. For 4 people who ordered a little bit of everything, we spent 140$ That's three appetizers, 2 sides, and 5 main dishes. For special occasions, celebrations, corporate dinners, this place seems like a great option. Now, in regard to the portion sizes. Pretty simple explanation, they do feel a bit small. Lastly, do they have options for children? I would say no but that depends on what kind of food your kids eat Hahha. This is more of an adult restaurant not particular organized for kids meals. Overall, I definitely recommend everyone check this place out. The food is so fresh and flavorful. We lived the experience and would definitely come back if we find ourselves in town again.

Started off strong with the uni shot, which was really good, and the sashimi fresh, clean, and exactly what you want from a sushi spot. We also ordered the mushroom and pumpkin salad with spinach, which tasted great, but at $20, it felt a bit overpriced for what it was. The rolls, unfortunately, didn't live up to how they looked. Presentation was definitely there, but the flavor just didn't hit. On top of that, they were falling apart pretty easily when picked up with chopsticks, which made them a little frustrating to eat. Service was solid overall staff was attentive despite how busy it was but they did miss our hamachi kama, which was a bit of a letdown. A couple things to note: this place is cash only, and it gets very busy, so expect a bit of a wait. That said, the vibe is nice, and the design of the space is something I actually liked. Would I come back? Probably for sashimi and appetizers but I might skip the rolls next time.

They have two separate dining rooms and seem to have one designated for families with children and the other has just a quiet adult dining room. The buffet stations are well laid out And the food is prepared frequently enough that it is fresh and not sitting under some heat lights getting dried out. Dining room attendant kept my table cleared and my iced tea refilled frequently. Dining room was monitored constantly and they did a good job of cleaning up. Entrees were delicious. Vegetables were crisp and fresh and not overcooked. Small batches of crab were brought out frequently to keep it replenished. Overall a good experience.

Wife and I went to the restaurant and they confirmed that they had booked two parties claiming there should be enough space? No way in hell can you fit two party groups and still serve an all-you-can eat buffet. This buffet can barely handle 200 ppl. We backed out and they didn't refund our deposit when it was their problem. Previous ppl who rented this buffet hall told us they up charged on soda drinks and counted more heads than the actual numbers of people at the buffet. This business is a scam. They cheat you on head counts and up charges on common items. I decided to rent a hall and supported local caters instead of this dump! Save your time and money and go elsewhere!!!!!

Speaking of pork belly they were too chewy we cooked it for long enough and it was still very chewy. Service was trash. The lady that was our server poured all the meat on our fryer so half of the meat was stacked on top of each other so it took longer to cooked. We're already on a 90 minute time crunch. If my step dad wasn't pestering the lady for a next round they wouldn't have checked on us and we would've been waiting for 30 minutes. While we were waiting for the second round the lady told us to turn off our heater when we're not using it, the man later came and turned it back on and told us to keep it at level 400-500. The next time we got the food she tried to put all the meat on the fryer again my step dad said "It's okay we got it, thank you" she looked at us like we didn't know what we were doing. Later on she looked at how we put everything on the fryer she looked and laughed at us TWICE.
