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

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The restroom is covered in diarrhea splatter and the reason for this is because the food is absolutely putrid. I'm sorry.. I have nothing nice to say about this place. The people who eat here more than once need to question themselves...... 100 bucks for myself, spouse, and 3 kids to eat....... Like setting money on fire. Save yourself and go to chopsticks down the road. read more

Buffets are meant to satisfy the palate of the indecisive, when the variety is ample and the quality of the food is fresh and rich in taste. This place does none of those things. Despite being quickly greeted and seated, the food is cold, and appeared to have been under the poorly functioning heating lamps for an extended period of time. The plates and silverware have residual debris from last person who used them. The iced tea tastes more like tea flavored dish water, and the carbonated drinks were flat. The desserts taste like they were made from a box rather than from scratch. For the price, this place is seriously disappointing. Although buffets are hit or miss, this one is definitely a miss. If you want to satisfy your palate, this is not the place. Please try another buffet. read more

King Buffet - Drinks empty - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

the food was good but very bad customer service. we were trying to get food on our splats and a lady came right in between us and started cleaning wiping food everywhere on the floor out plates it was too much our waitress was so rude she kept taking our plates off the table even though we said no not yet she had a ugly attitude and when it was time for me to sign the check she literally stood over me while I was signing and writing tip bad experience won't be back read more

I always enjoy coming to this place. Food was great kudos to the kitchen keeping the buffet stocked/filled. Felt like this place has A BOTTOMLESS of Crab Legs on the weekends. I've never seen them ran out and I've come to this place multiple times and always leave with satisfaction. Very nice and welcoming staff ! This is my go to buffet place. read more

I was pretty disappointed by my visit here. I thought a buffet would be my ultimate diet cheat meal and I was kicking myself for choosing the wrong restaurant. The sushi rolls were average but everything else fell short and was very below average even for a buffet. read more

It's ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. A little higher than some, but definitely not the most expensive. Probably lower middle as far as prices. read more

Large choose of food and testy food. Clean place which is I will recommend to my friends.

Hard pass on this buffet. It's a busy place so I assumed it would be better. The prices are high, especially for a buffet. Very disappointing and I won't return. read more

I wish I can leave negative stars. This is the most nasty and disgusting restaurant I've ever been in. First they took us to a dirty table and i had to ask them to clean it, our waitress then cleaned the table with a dry paper napkin. We went to grab food and everything was old and disgusting. We sat down with our food and took a few bites. It was so nasty that I told my family to stop eating and we got up and left. We spent over $70 on nasty old food and I was so disgusted that I didn't even bother to ask for my money back. I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Horrible! DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

The best food, very good taste and good service, all the staff are very nice; The only thing I recommend is that if they need more hygiene throughout the place. The atmosphere is nice. read more

This place is perfect if you love cold, 3 day old leftovers. If not, this definitely isn't the place for you.

Their fried chicken is surprisingly well seasoned and good. The Chinese food varies but is overall ok. The fresh fruit and salad bar are amazing. I enjoyed their hot & sour soup. The place has a Mongolian grill section which is great. The sushi is definitely better at dinner time than at lunch. The real star of the show are the fried soft shell crab and the snow crab. The fried crab has a delightfully light batter. They are fried long enough to make the crab meat creamy and melt in your mouth dreamy! The snow crab has a great flavor to them. Unlike some lesser buffets in the area (I'm looking at you Asian Star Buffet), this place is not stingy with replenishing everything on their menu including the crab offerings. The staff is polite and responsive. The restrooms are clean. All and all I paid between $12 - $16 and some change depending on if it was lunch or dinner. read more

They have a pretty good variety! They are super clean and Organized! I recommend! The food there is also super delicious read more

Little food options, what they did have was okay tasting and seemed like it sat there all evening. Would not recommend or go back.

Don't waste your money if the workers don't care about food cleaning tables etc you figure it out !!

Food was poor quality. Nothing was at the correct temp. Sushi was warm, kimchi, seafood salad and cooked shrimp were rotting. The only thing I could eat were the cherry tomatoes and seaweed salad. After trying those few items, I didn't feel safe trying any of the others. Such a shame, they used to be good. Save your money and your tummy, go elsewhere. read more

This used to be a awesome place to eat. On Fridays they have all you can eat crab legs. What they don't tell you is, to get any, you line up like a ride at Six Flags. They try to dissuade you from the crab legs by not bringing them out fast enough. They bring a small bowl every 5 to 10 minutes. That wasn't so bad when the other food was good. Everything else tasted bland and cold. All this for the low price of 17.99 a head. I think I'm done with this place. Next time I'll go get a steak for a bit more. Don't waste your time here. You'll definitely wish you'd just went somewhere else. read more

King buffet great seafood great grilling so if you want to make something fresh seafood, always fresh overall food is fresh clean environment. Happy staff for parties.

King Buffet - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This food is really bad . It's bland . Has no taste . Some food items are very greasy .. talk about cross contamination!! There mixing old food with new food then using utensils to put raw product to cook with at the hibachi grill area . You are not only required to wear a mask but you also have to wear a glove .. some food are dry and have no taste .. he or is hard .. and the tea taste like they haven't cleaned the tea machine in months. This place has to be the most nastiest place I've been too .. also because of how bad the food is you are required to pay before you can be seated ! ( I wonder why ) if you can avoid this place do so .. you will be better off going to a Burger King .. if I can give this place 0 star believe me I would .. read more

Right off the bat, they asked us for drinks and we had 2 waters and one Sierra Mist. She scoffed at the face we got waters, and this was the bill. $55. The ambiance was absolute garbage. This place was dark and dingy. The food, 1st plate I went safe with some chicken nuggets they were okay. My second plate I got some crab legs and some ribs the ribs are not even seasoned just barbecue sauce. They were burnt. I don't mean a good char this was a burn. The crab leg was so hard and stale it was just salt crusted beyond garbage. I still tried to get some of the meat out when I did it was bland and just garbage. For my 3rd plate I got some banana pudding and some pizza. That was the only plate that was good some premade frozen pizza and some banana pudding. My final plate was just fruit, I thought "hey how could they mess up fruit". Oh believe me it's possible. My pineapple was white, my orange had a hole in the back that looked like someone stabbed it with a nail. My bananas looked like they had veins. Just look at the photos for yourself. All in all I would never recommend this place or ever come back. read more

I really enjoy eating here, although one time 6 years ago I went to meet up with my friend here. My friend got there before me and downed 2 plates in 5 minutes. The staff then asked him to leave and when I got there is when he got kicked out. Yummy place but it's not all you can eat if you're fat. read more

Do not come to this restaurant, the food is horrible, the cooks (hibachi chef) are uncooperative, I want my tip back. $20. For the buffet is way overpriced!! I would not give $7.00 as most of the food is all dried up from sitting there. Save your money and time, don't come here read more

This is a buffet with a lot of choices. Great value and good food. I will come again. read more

We happen to drive by yesterday and I couldn't believe the gluttony of waste at this buffet place. Trying to keep to my new year resolution and this helped out a lot. This is Kings Buffet on Bandera. If they don't care about their output of waste how do you think about their presentation of food. read more

Comments are most welcome and appreciated I've eaten at a lot of Buffets over the years and some are really good some are really bad and there are some that find a spot in between but King Buffet Deserves a category all its own in a good way a really really good way. I realize that everybody has their preferences for buffets and stand by their favorites but as of the date and time of this review King Buffet is Not only my favorite Chinese buffet but Buffet in general. They serve over 200 items on their buffet and I have tried them all. The three things that stand out most about King Buffet for me making it my favorite in order are 1. they serve seaweed salad on the buffet at dinner time and it may be a weekend thing but in any case no other Buffet does that at least none that I have been to. 2. they manage to keep everything fresh, the fact that they're extremely busy probably helps with this fact but the fact remains the same everything is extremely fresh on King Buffet's Buffet. And 3. there Mongolian Grill is better than most, I have been into some restaurants that specialized or specifically serve Mongolian Grill and this Buffet beats most of them without even being their main focus. why five stars and not JLFoodie Certified: Straight up just haven't eaten there enough I'll need to dine there at least one to two more times before I can acknowledge them as JLFoodie Certified but don't be surprised if I update this review soon doing just that. If my review was helpful in any way and/or you enjoy reading my content please help encourage my continued use of yelp by leaving comments as they are most appreciated and welcome *Poor *Decent *Good *great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Food. Best Service. Good Cleanliness. Great Value. Best I realize I'm a food snob, I eat out regularly some weeks 3 to 4 times which in my opinion makes me a bit of an expert on food, service, quality etc. I say it how I see it and I usually will give restaurants at least three chances before I give up on them and in some cases after some time has past I revisit the restaurants to see if anything is changed and my reviews reflect that change. read more

Don't eat here if you have children because apparently for a 3 year old that eats 5 bites they justify charging you for a full adult price. I don't mind paying for a child, but $13 at that? For a 3 year old? We won't be back. And neither will our large group of close contacts. read more

DONT EAT HERE!! TRIED TO RIP ME OFF , RUDE, POOR SERVICE , MEDIOCRE FOOD I usually take restaurants with a grain of salt because I understand there can be mistakes, but I don't want anyone else to go through this on a nice Sunday afternoon when you're spending time with your kid. This doesn't allow me to leave it without any stars. A couple of weeks ago my son, and I went and ate here. My son went with his mom there and liked it so I took him. I ordered a plate and the menu that they had sitting by the register said it came with the main portion, fried rice , and an eggroll. It was on a Sunday and I was OK with that for lunch. My son wanted the buffet and he's nine years old. The guy at the register who is the manager, asked us his age and we both said his age; 9. So my son ordered the buffet and it was nine dollars for him instead of $15 for an adult. Mind you, my lunch plate was six dollars. So he rang us up for $19 and change. I asked him how much did you charge for my son because you just told me his was nine dollars; $15 and change total. I asked him if the tax was four dollars? He said no I charged him regular. I asked him you just asked me his age and told me it was nine dollars for him to eat. So he reached back into the register and gave me my change back. I really should've walked out of there. I told him is this what you do to people? And he didn't answer. My son was standing right there and I told him this is why you always watch your money. We come to eat here and they try and take money from us. My son went and got his food from the buffet and they brought me my plate and it only had the fried rice and main portion of chicken which I ordered and I said where is the eggroll and the waitress said you need to go talk to the manager. I said this isn't my job I came to eat and I'm having a fight with you guys to get service not overcharge me and to sort out why didn't get served the correct portion. She went and called the manager, and the same guy who overcharged me came over and I told him I was missing the eggroll. He said oh that's the old menu. It doesn't come with the eggroll. I said the menu is right by the register where I paid you. I told him you should've change the menu or removed it. He started arguing with me and I just told him just refund me my money and he went back and got what I thought was going to be an eggroll, it was a spring roll. I let my son finish eating and we left, and I said we're never coming back here again as I walked out, and I told the other patrons who were in line to pay to make sure he wasn't overcharging them like he tried to do with me and my son. read more

Family of 4, son loves the crawfish, daughter loves the crab legs, hubby loves the chicken on a stick, I like all the crunchy stuff. Sushi is hit or miss. My biggest reason for writing this review is to WARN people to BE AWARE that nobody is taking pictures of the computer screen or your credit card, etc. We don't know for sure, but front desk person took a picture of the screen when he paid and that same night and next morning his account was hacked $$$ read more

This place has a huge selection of oriental and American food. Food is fresh and hot in my opinion. I had my fav Chinese food selections, seafood, and meats in my plate.

The best feature about this place is the wide variety of different foods it offer guests. The selections goes on and on. Even if I would take 1 piece of food of each selection I would not be able to eat all of it. You will definitely find something that you like here. See my pictures. These selections are at lunch. You can have 1 plate of sushi and you have already got your money's worth. Honestly. Great price and selection. read more
