    Assortment of foods
    Abran S.

    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.

    The Rangoon and lo mein were actually very good.

    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!

    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!

    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

Hot and fresh ingredients the quality that I choose and best of all, if I want more all I have to do is get up, get a fresh plate and cook up more.

She was attentive and friendly while we were eating, BUT I did have to go find her when it was time to go. And the ambiance, it wasn't anything special. Just suitable for any size group, like me and my daughter. Or the family group of 10+ just across the room. Everyone had plenty of room. All was good and well, so here's my beef... Cleanliness!! We were escorted to a not so clean table that the hostess brushed food off the table then laid down own menus. But that wasn't the worse of it. These was noodles in the cracks of the seat. And not just one or two. Kind of creeped me out. Love the food but cleanliness matters...or I may not be back.

Personally, I'd skip the fried rice option. Noodles definitely tastes better. The medium create your own comes with two choice sides and sticking to noodles, white rice, or cabbage is going to be our way to go in the future. Brown rice was another option, but I'd rather choose cabbage than subject myself to deconstructed fake rice. There were tons of great proteins and a dozen different sauce options at the end. One of the kids chose to go with a bbq theme with chicken, pork, and steak. Another went middle of the road with some standard Asian flavors and a tiny bit of heat. I went full surf & turf with tons of delicious toppings and the spiciest sauces on the bar. Solid heat level, akin to a medium heat in a Thai restaurant. In summary, we downloaded the rewards app and plan to go back. The elementary school kid will definitely do a kids meal size next time. The middle schooler will stick with the small size CYO. As for me, I'll keep going medium CYO because leftovers for lunch are definitely worth it!

It's a little expensive, even for a weekend. You would expect more and better choices for the prices we paid. About $80 for two adults and a midget. They had your typical fare. The least favs-ribs(tough/dry and no flavor), steak(tough and under seasoned), steam buns(the filling just no), bourbon chicken(dry chicken and not enough sauce), and the consensus least fav were all the desserts. There was flying bugs, and everything was super dry and tasted old. I get it, what do expect for a Chinese buffet in San Antonio? Well I expect no flying insects in the desserts for the price I paid. Also, 75 % of the fruit we got was as tough as the steak. Oh, and the cold shrimp, either overcooked or thawed the wrong way. The shell was practically glued on. The positives-all the rice and noodle dishes were good to ok. The hot and sour soup was really good! The teriyaki chicken was actually good. The bigger sauced rib was good. The kimchi was some of the better we've had recently. The spring rolls with peanut were good. The two fish dishes we had(fried and not fried) were actually quite nice. All the breads were good. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Almost forgot, the bathrooms were kinda gross. They need to be kept clean. Will not come back again.

The buffet options are good, but their general tso's chicken is not the best (and I judge how good overall Chinese buffets on this lol). A surprise hit is the sautéed green beans, which are perfectly cooked and garlicky--just like how you'd find it traditionally cooked in Chinese cuisine. I also think they're deep fried (salt and pepper?) shrimp (next to the crawfish) is very delicious. Plates are cleared pretty quickly and the buffet space is kept orderly and decently clean.

Because I am on a work trip, I did not have to worry about pricing, but I did think that, although it is the standard, this meal was pretty expensive. It was over $33 but I did add a fried egg and extra chicken. I ordered the Krapo with medium spice and it was perfectly spicy. There was a perfect amount of Thai basil in the dish and it was wet enough for the rice to be a perfect addition. The bell peppers and the onions were absolutely spectacular. Now for the Boba. I ordered a combination of coconut, kiwi and watermelon. I also made sure that I subbed out the milk for coconut water as I cannot tolerate dairy. This Boba smoothie might be the best Boba I have ever had. I will say that the lid is kind of confusing because I do not know if the Thai restaurant makes it or if it is a neighboring restaurant. Regardless, I would be back just for this eight dollar Boba. Upon arriving to the restaurant, there was limited parking and inside it was super crowded. Obviously this is a popular spot and a lot of people ordered delivery through apps. It was kind of chaotic when picking up, but it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant was dark, but it did seem clean. My only grip here is that they must've been so rushed that they did not give me silverware or napkins. I had to beg my hotel to accommodate me.
