    Impressive selection on a late weekday evening. Good quality food and worth the trip. The service and staff seem generally friendly, although they just take you to your seat. The ambiance is mostly quiet and lively around the food of course... Great place to go if you like Asian food and you can't decide what you want specifically, or if you have no idea what you want you'll find something! Reasonably priced and no regrets!

    Nice large size buffet with multiple different food offering. They had sushi stations and mangolian barbeque. Overall selection of food was good, service was good. I recommend this place for anyone who is hungry and looking for buffet place. It was $23 including tip so it was a good price for lunch. The ambiance is nothing to mention, just regular buffet place with the large number of tables and chairs.

    King Buffet is definitely our go to place to eat as a family. Especially with having a little one that is always unpredictable in terms of what he wants to eat. Kids below 3 or 4 eat for free btw. This location is always consistent with the way their food tastes as well. On top of this place being a buffet, they also have a sushi/rolls area for you to choose from as well as a Mongolian bbq area where you choose what meat, vegetables, noodles and toppings you want and they cook it in front of you. They have a lot of different kinds of food to choose from, from fried food (chicken, shrimp, meat) to the traditional Chinese entrees such as sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, mushroom to seafood such as crawfish, fried shrimp, lobster and fish skillets. To top it off, they have soup such as hot and sour, egg drop and wonton soup. There is definitely a lot of food to choose from. What I usually get is ribs, fried chicken, fried cheese wonton, and their California roll. When I do want some beef, I get beef from the Mongolian bbq place and tell the cook to cook it medium well, which they usually follow, if not, sometimes the cook doesn't understand any English lol. Service here is always good, the waiter and waitresses are always attentive in terms of them picking up your used plates to giving you a drink refill. The desert section is awesome too. They have ice cream cones that will serve you soft serve chocolate and vanilla, to vanilla/chocolate ice cream that's already in a to go cup ready to go. And they have puddings such as tapioca pudding, chocolate pudding and banana cream pudding. This place never disappointed us and is the best bang for your buck in terms of food. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting

    My two former co-workers and I decided to come here since I told him I would take him out for his birthday, which was long overdue. Parking: The parking is big and adjacent to other local businesses. Food: The Chinese noodles, beef broccoli, and fried rice were surprisingly good. The fish and cooked oysters were not so good. Service: They ask you if you would like anything to drink and any refills. They do this because unlike most buffets, that have a soda dispenser or fountain, they do not. They have to get it for you, so they can charge you one each one. Ambiance: The ambiance is nice, and decent, better than most buffets I have been to. Price: I was confused about the price because they have a sign posted saying lunch is $13, and dinner is $17. However, when I asked to confirm the prices, she told me lunch was $17 per person. The total bill for my former co-worker and I, was $40 I believe, maybe a few dollars more. Overall, I am not sure I am going to come back. I felt like I was being rushed, and kicked out, which that has never happened to me before. We arrived at 11:00 AM and were given the bill as I was eating, sometime before 12:00 PM. The food is decent, but because of them handing me the bill when I was eating and there less for an hour, I mostly likely may not be coming back.

    They are a good place to come eat with the family for a buffet. They have a lot of seafood and some grilled chicken and fries also. They have a dessert section, but it's never really good in my opinion. They have soft serve ice cream. Overall my family likes coming here and we all enjoy it.

    Food was not great and not a lot of options. Service was not good. And the ambiance gave the feel of a repurposed casino.

    Me and my crew had just gone out to the Olive Garden next door and I noticed this Buffet over here…read morecalled the Chuck-A-Rama Buffet. That's quite a name, conjures up some western cowboy wagon train buffet! We don't have any buffets where I come from with names like that! I pointed it out to my crew and they wanted to come here for dinner some time. So, here we are it's dinner time at the Chuck Wagon ... or Rama or whatever! There plenty of parking and the big shopping center is located just north off the 215. We go in and it's actually a decent sized buffet dining room and seems more clean and organized than some Chinese buffets we've been to and all the servers speak perfect English too. The website has a good display of prices and what's on the menu everyday, so best to check that out. They offer regular American food every night like roast beef and fried chicken as well as turkey and mashed potatoes along with French fries and pizza, so you see, there's something for everybody here. It was BBQ night when we went, so there were ribs on the menu. Ribs, fried chicken and fries, can't beat that for around $19 per person, that's a reasonable price. The food quality wasn't say Vegas $90 buffet, but certainly well worth $19! I like the ribs just fine as did the rest of my crew, I know they're big on the rib thing. Yes, they do have decent salads, so it's not all meat and potatoes. I'd come back here again!

We went for Mexican Night and loved it so much that we came back again for Italian Night. As someone who grew up going to HomeTown Buffet, this felt like the homemade version of that experience comforting, fresh, and made with care. Everything we tried was delicious. Italian Night was just as impressive, with favorites like lasagna, spaghetti, Alfredo pasta, meatballs. I love their fries and pizza lol. The dessert selection was amazing too, there was so much variety, like their rice puddinf. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was consistently great both visits. Honestly, I wish we had a Chuck-A-Rama in California. We'd be regulars! If you're in Utah and looking for a buffet with homemade comfort food and plenty of options, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    Happy Lamb Hotpot in Utah exceeded our expectations. Kelly, our server, was outstanding--super…read moreattentive, helpful with recommendations, and kept everything running smoothly. The restaurant offers an impressive variety of meats, seafood, veggies, and broths, making it easy to customize the perfect hotpot experience. The quality was great, the portions were generous, and the price was surprisingly reasonable for how much you get. A cotton candy machine to end your meal, and ice cream for dessert. A fantastic spot for anyone who loves hotpot or wants to try it for the first time. The restrooms were very clean, atmosphere was amazing, quiet enough to hear each other.

    Overall 5/5: Wow! This was a fun place to eat at. I definitely recommend people to try this place…read moreout. The place was clean. Food was fresh. There were so many options. Price was cheaper than other comparable AYCE hot pot places in NYC at 30.99 for standard tier and even a 23.99 weekday lunch deal which is a steal. This place was truly felt like a slice of New York City on our vacation BUT unlike NYC, the service was so friendly. Tip was included in the bill so we accidentally tipped again. We didn't know this until the manager came out and insisted she return the extra tip. If this is not a testament to great service, I don't know what is. Ambiance 5/5: Everything was clean. The place was large so tables were adequately spaced. Place was well lit. Warm decor and colors. Service 5/5: Great service. People were welcoming. Staff were stationed around the self serve bar to assist customers. Manager was super nice and even returned money to us when we accidentally double tipped. Food 5/5: They have A LOT of options here. There were two pricing tiers. Premium was 36.99 and standard was 30.99. Premium offered cuts of wagyu, shrimp paste, and leg of lamb for every 2 persons in your party. I felt like I would've been happy with just the standard tier since there was more than enough food. They have a self serve cotton candy machine, soda machine, make your own BOBA station, and ice cream. Even without the hot pot, there were AYCE pre-cooked entrees at the bar including soup, noodles, fried/plain rice. Also had AYCE appetizers like fries and fried chicken. The raw station for the hot pot included noodles, seafood, and veggies. Everything was fresh, clean, and delicious so you can't go wrong with this place.

    I love oriental food. To me, chinese food is a staple right there with pizza, and burgers. I feel…read morelike most chinese places are all "pretty good" good sauce, very tender meat, etc. It's very rare to find one that is exceptional, and also rare to find one that's bad. That said, i think buffets in general are a grade lower. Generally far more greasy, bland, tender meat if fresh though rarely is unless you dine during dinner rush. Kings buffet has the two locations we go to. The one off of redwood 5700s ish. And the one on state street about 3700s ish. OUt of the two i prefer the one on state. It seems like the mongolian is generally a bit better. Mongolian is the part i like the most. The family likes the buffet and variety. I wish there was a way for me to get a "by the plate" Mongolian. I feel like i overpay for the endless buffet i don't even use. I know i could get it to go in a to go container and pay by the pound, but that's if not dining in. I wish they worked on the buffet a bit. Less greasy, less bland, Maintain freshness. When not during the lunch or dinner rush, maybe make them in smaller portions, more frequently. Also a big thing for me. During lunch rush the mongolian has shrimp. During the dinner rush it has a slightly nicer beef. Also the choices of veggies varries between the two. I wish at the very least, keep the veggie selection the same. I feel like either way i'm getting half of the dish i really want, but paying for a buffet i don't even utelize.

I know my crew well enough that I can keep everybody happy at a Chinese buffet and seems almost every city and small town has one! This KIng Buffet is one of the most common names for Chinese bufftes it seems. This location was easy enough to find with the GPS and parking was easy. Going inside it look pretty decent sized, bigger than a lot of small town buffets we've been to. Service was efficient, but you know typical Asian efficirncy, not to make conversation like at Applebee's or something. All the foods you'd expect were here and looking fresh and hot. Sushi was available as well, but I usuall just stick to hot foods when it comes to buffets. The general chicken was good as were the noodles. They had ribs as well, and some of my guys really cleaned up on those. I'd bring the crew back here again if we were in the area. Everybody gets exavtly what they want.
