I am currently sitting in the car waiting for my boys to finish eating. The smell drove me away, it doesn't help that almost everything on the buffet looked old and soupy. Tried the beef and broccoli, coconut shrimp, egg rolls, and some type of chicken dish. No flavor. I also tried the variety of sushi which the cream cheese is the only thing I can identify. 3/5 rolls were spit out into a napkin. First and last time at this place. The only thing I was able to swallow without cringing was the soda. Our server was nice. That's about it, read more

‼WARNING ‼ STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Went yesterday around lunch time paid 20 dollars just to have a ROACH greet us at our table ! Disgusting when we asked for a refund we were told NO they didn't want to, so i threatened to call the police and finally they refunded us our money. The lady was soooooo upset she had he pen in my face giving me attitude and creating a scene. read more

Well there was a large ROACH that crawled on our table. Enough said. Not going back. We weren't even close to the kitchen. I mentioned it to the front lady and she just gave me a blank stare. read more

Ive been to SEVERAL buffets now including Lins, izumi, asia and grand buffett. Hot and cold items were always full (good or bad) but everything was great. Its ok for the weekend price of $35+. Not bad overall but would rank 3rd on list. read more

This place is pretty decent, I like the interior design but I feel like the food options was not much. And the desert was not good they could have done better banana pudding was not good read more

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

When I first walked in, place was 95% cleaned and barley saw a mess. And when I got the food, OMG their was so many options, like crab, cake, ice cream, once I got sitting down, dude the food was amazing loved it, recommend coming back! read more

Man, this place doesn't let down (for the most part). But it is def worth a shot! The prices are actually really good compared to the buffets around SA. Now, once walking in, you are greeted by the manager, which is where you pay. The interior is nice, a little dark, but nice still. Once sat down, I always go straight for the food. You'll see all of your selections there, on my photos you can see the selection I chose. I always eat the lomein, rangoons, egg rolls, beef broccoli, grilled chicken and the steamed vegetables. Those items ALWAYS hit, highly recommend. For overall price and quality of food, it's worth a shot, like said, better than other places. read more

Server had to be asked for refills. And when they did, they poured sideways and got some on my plate - no apologies, no offering to take the plate - just paused and walked away when nothing was said. Had decent selection for dinner, but the service sucks. read more

After church stop. We had been here years ago. This trip was pretty much bad. The worst general chicken we've ever had. It had just opened and a lot of the food was cold? Don't get it. The staff was great though. It's hard to say exactly what was right. They had this desert with crumbled cookies on top, similar to banana pudding, that was surprisingly good. The family kept going up to try to find more items to like, I gave up 1 and 1/2 plates in. They steak if you get it warm of grill, was delicious. Go figure. The crab Rangoon was also weirdly delicious. It had this sweet taste that worked. Lo mein was above average. The fried rice was not? It was YELLOW!!! So far out least favorite buffet in town! read more

the food was bland, there was not a lot of options AT ALL. it looked like a mess, how is it the one on San Pedro had more food options than here? i only came expecting the same thing. i was so wrong & disgusted how bad the food was. the service was fine, its just the food & OH, the pricing was expensive too! 38 bucks for only like short amount of options?? i dont know about y'all, i like having more options & flavor food. worst buffet ive ever been too read more

This is not the King Buffet you're looking for. I was in SA from out of town and heard excellent things about SA's King Buffet. I went on a Friday night and my first clue should have been the empty parking lot. When you enter, you're supposed to pay for the meals immediately. That was really weird, and now I'm convinced it's a tactic to prevent diners from leaving after they realize they went to the wrong restaurant. The staff were really nice and I got consistent water refills, but that is where the good ends. The dining area looked like some 80s steakhouse throwback. The sushi was okay to me but my sister hated it, the mei fung tasted like packing peanuts, the chicken on a stick had a strange, unpalatable cloying sweet taste imbued in the meat. The crab Rangoon shell was stale and chalky and the innards tasted like hot miracle whip. So so terribly disappointing. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

This is a photo of my receipt for me and. 12 yr old. We come eat a late lunch shortly after 2 and we get charged dinner prices. I ask the manager how much the buffet is as I'm looking at the receipt he has $18.99 and I tell him on the website it says $12.99 he said that not the correct price. He tries to show us a price for after 3:30. It's 2:22. Hence the 2nd picture. I ask for my money back before stepping away from the counter. He said well you can't get your money you have to wait 7-10 business days. He keeps trying to justify himself with pricing. Fix it online and you won't have a problem. It's not even dinner time. Then I look on my account and the charge pending is $59.49 . Not $47.59. My first and last time coming to King Buffett! read more

My dad would move from Vegas to SA for this buffet. As someone who has his fair share craving of crab legs and someone who's made sure his daughters acquire this taste, this buffet is *chefs kiss* It was my third time coming yesterday, first without my dad, and I honestly felt like I was cheating haha This is NOT your most upscale buffet. Could it be cleaner? YES. Could the workers be a bit more polite? Sure. Are your drinks refilled like it's a priority rather than an inconvenience? No. BUT, there's so many OPTIONS. And believe me people, I don't eat non-halal meat so my options are limited to SEAFOOD & vegetarian entrees....and still I think this place is worth it. $17 / person will get you into the LINE for crab legs. Yes yes, there is a LINE more often than not, but STILL WORTH IT. I'm not too sure if this is a daily thing or just for dinner, so do call ahead and make sure. They have a grill station in which you can put a protein, some veggies & condiments together and have it freshly cooked. I usually go for the shrimp, toss in a handful of bean sprouts, a HEAP full of minced garlic, and a few tablespoons of garlic sauce to make an EPIC spicy shrimp dish *thank me later* Outside of this station, it's the CRAB LEGS. Get 'em hot, get 'em while you can. This is definitely a customer sought area of the buffet. I also appreciate the baked salmon, the BLUEBERRY COBBLER, the rangoons, fried *cod* fish, breaded shrimp, and the salt and pepper crabs. The time my toddler has been here, she's become a fan of the Lo Mein which alternatively means that I must learn how to make it at home *sigh* I should have taken more pictures, but I was too busy stuffing my face, inhaling a few read more

The food was really cold and the egg rolls tasted funny and we were afraid of it even being not cooked properly.After we had this issue we didn't even eat our food and left it untouched,but they did not want to issue a refund and didn't help us much either.Ince someone had finally came to help us, we respectfully couldn't understand what the worker was saying but she did not want to give us a refund and they started to raise their voice so we walked out.I would HIGHLY recommend NOT coming to this restaurant.They are very pricey for the cold food,and bad service the provide. read more

Food last time was hot, and was flavorful. Good selection for dieters, just watch your portions. People/ owners were friendly. Enjoy.

It was alright. Expected more. The deserts were great and the fruit was very fresh over all I give them a 5

I ordered take out from the gracious hostess. The wait time was not excessive. The food was delicious and warm enough that I could enjoy it immediately upon arriving at home. I hope to return for dine in service, as the setting was pleasant. King Buffet is worth the visit. read more

Food, cleanliness- I understand that we need to try a different location. The buffet came recommended and they live much further north

King Buffet - Beef broccoli Fried shrimp Wings Fried crab - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We went to Kings buffet around 5:45 and had to wait on food it took them 35 minutes to get food out they ran out of the crab legs seem to never come out and when it did there was a line and only 2-3 people got to get some and had to wait another 20 -25 minutes a couple of times as they never put out enough. The Mongolian beef was so good but, that is cook to order and the guy that work that area was awesome. The restrooms were clean. I wish that they had the food ready because it was a Friday and everyone was coming in and they were not ready, what a shame. The salad bar and soup bar were great. The sushi bar was half empty, so had to wait on that. I will give them another try but will walk in to make sure they have food if not I will walk out. . read more

Parking is plentiful, location is easy to find. During dinner time, the line can move slowly. Service in the dining area is fast and efficient and the area is clean. I loved our server! Our empty plates and soda cups were addressed quickly. My reason for the one-star demerit is regarding the food. Big items like the crab disappears quickly as people pile on their plates after having waited in line for what can seem like forever when you're starving. This means only about 7-8 people will get some crab and another 30 min wait for more crab resumes. Super annoying! An easy solution would be for the cook to distribute one piece per person from behind the counter. Period. This way, no one walks away disappointed. I saw one guy load 5 whole crabs onto his plate. Smh. Food quality is decent. Prices are decent. Overall, I'd probably not go back and will def try another place in the future. read more

We went their on a Sunday about 5pm. We have not been there for a year and don't plan on going back. Nothing had a taste. The steak that was there was dry, Ribs were dry. The egg rolls were ok kinda like the one you buy at HEB. The sausage I was told was good. They are very over priced. 2 dinners, water and 1 soda 47.00 dollars. Not worth it. You pay before you go into the restaurant so of course they want a tip. No one came and cleaned our dishes or refilled our drinks. read more

King Buffet - food - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The Mongolian grill area makes it worth your while to come here. I like to get shrimp, bean sprouts, noodles, jalapeños, garlic, and the garlic oil. The sushi isn't all that good but I like a lot of the other menu items. They have good rangoons, dumplings, and some good chicken dishes. The service usually isn't that good, you probably won't get your water filled up very often. Nonetheless it is cheap and there are lots of options so it is worth it. read more

Amazing Buffet. The sushi is always amazing and super fresh. I eat tons here and well worth the money

This establishment is really hit or miss depending on the day of the week. Our recent visit was in the middle of week with very little traffic. As you can assume, less people equals older food on the buffet line. In general though, they do have a good selection of seafood, sushi, Asian food staples, as well as kid favorites like chicken nuggets. My children really enjoy the chicken nuggets and fries at this location. If you're looking for great Asian food this isn't the place for you, but for buffet food it's good. read more

Just go somewhere else. No flavor, weird atmosphere. No music playing. Awkward staff. Will not be back

Everything about this place is good. For it being in such a crappy area of the city with all of the crazies and addicts lurking about, inside you can leave it all behind and escape and have a nice meal. Great place. read more

I was hankering for Chinese food but didn't want to deal with traffic around Marbach to get to Golden Wok. Then I remembered that I hadnt been to a guilty pleasure asian buffet in MOOOONTHS... I should of kept it that way. The food was ho-hum and room temperature / cold (which was odd as there was so much steam coming out of the buffet ) The bbq ribs, lo main, and crab puffs had a nice flavor but were cold. The beef and brocolli was probably 80% brocolli, which was okay with me as I love broc. Overall, it was a miss bit I'll try another one again in a couple months. read more

The food here USED to be good but it's gone way down hill. The steaks looked as dry as roofing shingles. Took quite a while for them to put out fresh food. Guess we're done read more

Food was good. Had great service. The place is a little too crowded and noisy. I would definitely go back just because the service and food was good. read more

Very average experience. Nothing particularly stood out good or bad. I've been to tons of hibachi buffet and I will say this one falls right in the middle of the bunch as far as taste, price, and selection. The week days are a bit less than the weekend if you have flexibility when you come. My strategy usually is go for a big plate of hibachi, mix in some sushi, get a small sample of anything that looks interesting and then come back for 2nd or 3rds if something stands out. Staff was nice, decor was cool. I haven't tried any other restaurants in the area to be fair so not sure how this one stacks up to the others but I will say it was decent and a 3 star experience. read more

I don't recommend eating here, for 3 people 72$ just for the food to taste nasty and the chicken and sushi had a weird taste, food was overall mid. read more

I don't think I've been back since before the pandemic, yet this place was no bueno. Nearly every single item on the line lacked flavor. When I added soy sauce to attempt to enhance the flavor, my efforts failed. I'm not sure what the appeal of the restaurant is, aside from a buffet, yet I recommend saving your money and opting for a place that provides quality over quantity. read more

Star suppose be ZERO not One. LMAO when I read some of these comments about Buffet and someone mentioned that "BEST BUFFET" HA HA that's lying right there! FOOD IS THE MOST BLEEP disgusting and oldest food. I only took little bite of the food and my stomach told me to stop eating it. I regret coming here! I went to get a refund as we barely touched the food, but they refused to give it to us. Keep in mind that you do have to pay for the food before even eating it. They said it was "their policy" that they can't offer a refund after getting food. If the food is not good and doesn't enjoy the service, then why must we pay for this service? We didn't even eat anything off the plate. After constant back and forth, we only got half our money back SMH. I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK AGAIN! Period! People who even plan go on that restaurant, GOOD Luck! Don't expect any refunds at all if you come here and don't enjoy the food. read more
