This is a 3.5 rating. I came here for lunch for the first time. The atmosphere is very clean but very plain. No decor at all. The booths were comfortable. The prices are not posted, I had to ask. I was seated right away and my water was brought quickly. There were very few sushi choices. They had the typical offerings for a buffet but smaller than the one in Cary. My favorite hot item was the sweet and sour chicken. The spring rolls and eggs roll was very bland. Did not finish either one. I was disappointed they didn't have many shrimp offerings. I tried the stuffed shrimp and saw the smallest shrimp I have ever seen. My server was Amy and I have never seen such a beautiful smile. She was wonderful and brought the rating up for sure. Nice, clean place and very nice people but I probably won't return. read more

King Chinese Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

I can't say much positive about this place--it just wasn't very good to me. I had a great server, which I appreciate, but the buffet itself left a lot to be desired. The sushi bar felt sketchy, and even staples like General Tso's chicken were below average. I had been here once years ago and decided to give it another shot, but unfortunately, it didn't improve. When I review restaurants, I don't hold them to unrealistic standards--I judge them based on what they are. If I'm going to a Chinese buffet, I expect a certain level of quality for that category. In this case, it didn't meet that bar, and it's not a place I would return to. read more

The people were friendly and efficient at this buffet, and the food was all tasty. The place was clean, and I had no problems. It was a nice easy way to do dinner on a busy day. read more

King Chinese Buffet - Sweet & sour chicken, and beef & broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

Given the quality of all too many "Chinese" buffets, this place is a welcome surprise. It ISN'T haute cuisine, but if that's what you're looking for, why got to a moderately priced Chinese buffet? I'll put it this way: the quality and selection, the "value," exceeds the price. I am NOT a vegetarian, but have been pleased on two visits to find I could eat my fill on nicely prepared and tasty fish and seafood without ever needed to go near the meat offerings. That said, the several of the meat items I did sample were quite good. The only downside to this place is its popularity: when it gets crowded it is something of a 3-ring circus, so lunch -if you can do it- it a better, far less chaotic option. read more

I love this place and the staff are amazing! The food is pretty good but there are some accessibility issues that make it difficult to eat here as a disabled person. I 100% don't think it's done out of malice at all, as it's common oversight in the restaurant industry. Tables are all very low to where I can't really get close enough in my wheelchair, so I end up having to prop my plate up to not hurt my back. The labels on the food containers aren't very visible and sometimes incorrect to what food is there at the moment. Highly recommend this place and the amazing staff if you're looking for a lovely Chinese buffet! For my fellow disabled folks; you might have to get a little creative with adapting things to work for you here but I still highly recommend this place! read more

What happened to China King buffet in Fuquay? I went for take out last week and first of all, there were no Spring Rolls and there was no section labeled for Spring Rolls. The fried rice was so greasy I had to throw it out. I guess they no longer care because people are eating there anyway. I will never eat there again. read more

My husband and I are regular customers and the owners are very friendly not because they know us now they were friendly on our first visit. We have plans to go this weekend. read more

Food and service were okay. The cleanliness was mid. My son likes the restaurant so we'll probably go back.

Still my favorite place for Chinese buffet. In a world post Covid19, customers get their own disposable hand gloves to serve your own food. Smart. Food selections still great. Sushi bar is no longer available but all my usual favorites are still there. Yes, you can dine in! Paper plates and utensils. Looking forward to visiting again with owner Maggie. read more

My dad and I went back to King Chinese Buffet. The ac was working so the restaurant was nice and cool. Our server was polite and attentive. The food on the buffet was kept up fresh. Thank you for a great meal and a great day for dad and me! read more

MISERABLE OWNER/MANAGER I was dining at this location. The buffet had only ONE waiter in charge of the area I was seated at. The Owner/Manger was yelling at the only person working that area to clean the tables as she proceeded to bang on the table that needed to be cleaned as a family was walking in to be seated. It was extremely loud and inappropriate. As the waiter walked to my table to pick up my plate I proceeded to ask if the person yelling was her boss which she said yes. Before I managed to ask another question the boss was at my table. I asked her respectfully if she thought it was appropriate to yell at her employee in that manner and she said "you've never been here this is my voice" I said that doesn't matter you shouldn't have humiliated her with the way you acted. She proceeded to say "I've been here for over 20 years if you don't like the way I am you can leave the waiter bigger tip" extremely frustrated I went to pay my tab and handed the waiter a tip because she did a great job. This place has miserable management. Extremely disrespectful of the person running this establishment. read more

I need to preface that I am Vietnamese/Chinese and from Orange County, CA: a land where you can find a chinese buffet every 10 mile radius. I moved to the area about 10 months ago, and it has been about that time since I have had any asian food. Here comes King Chinese Buffet: Selection: there were two hot food stands and one cold. Four soups. Best items are the white steamed fish (very authentic), mein fun, and pang beef. I had the sweet and sour soup that needed more black vinegar (maybe it is adjusted for the locals). Hot food kept coming out and stations filled. Nothing under the heatlamp too long. Score: 3/5 Service: Very chinese, meaning that they're straight and to the point. Plates were removed regularly and drinks refilled without asking. Score: 5/5 Location: covid regulations allow for cleaner eating. Was given a plastic glove and we had foam plates and forks. The seating is still next to another patron, not 6 feet. Score: 3/5 I wont come back but the prices are decent. I did not regret coming. read more

King Chinese Buffet - Sesame Chicken BBQ Spare Ribs Seafood Delight Crawfish Sushi - Chinese Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

Pleasantly surprised. I'd give this place a 3.5 stars if I can. It was better than I expected for a buffet despite several negative reviews. Although they mass produce dishes here (so expect fast food quality), overall the food was tasty. This place is located in a strip mall so parking is convenient. I visited on a weekday for lunch so the buffet cost $7.75 per person (I believe dinner is a little over $10). The dining area is large and spacious with plenty of natural light coming in which I appreciated. I was greeted promptly and seated right away. The buffet itself has a lot to offer and plenty of variety. They offer stir fried items, deep fried items, soups, a hibachi station, sushi, dessert, and random cold items. I did appreciate the sushi section, however, I wish they had more selections of sushi (maybe on weekends they have more?) Anyway, if you are starving and on a budget, this place is definitely worth it. I would gladly return again. read more

Sushi is not great - old fishy flavor, hard rice. But the rest of the food is pretty good. Service is nice - and their working their butts off. read more

This place is a staple of fuquay. Always consistent in the quality of the food. Habachi is awesome. For the price it cant be beat. You wont leave hungry! People need to understand that this is a Chinese buffet, not a high end asian bistro in California or NY, their expectations should be set as such. So for what it is I give it 5 stars. read more

This place is a total hole in the wall and has to cheat on it's inspections somehow, but I still love it...kinda. There is this lady who may be the owner but may also be a man who also I think lives there, no joke, she's there from open to close everyday. If you're really lucky you might see a show if you go during the busy time. And by that I mean you might see five 300-400lbs people wearing sweatpants come in and pretty much clean out the buffet in one pass, two plates each. I can only assume it's like watching whales eat tons of fish, or possible starved velociraptors devour a cow, both extraordinary sights to behold. One time I even got to see all of these people order their own pitcher of extra sugar generic soda and get refills, I think if they had bowls at the buffet instead of plates they would have just mixed the soda with the food to eat it faster. This show is almost worth an extra admission fee itself, consider yourself lucky if you see it. The food here is really good especially given the price. The black pepper chicken has become a favorite of mine. The general tso's is on par with most others as is their crab rangoon. Don't eat the sushi...I'm not sure any of it is real and they keep adding water to the wasabi as it gets low. Lunch is your best value but there is also a total rush most days and it can get crowded. At dinner they add some seafood to the buffet such as clams in some sort of brown sauce, mussels, and deviled crabs. Pro Tip: Go during a busy time. If you come here say at the start of the dinner rush to beat the crowd, you had better enjoy eating 4 hour old food leftover from lunch. haha. As far as service goes...don't expect any, especially if it's crowded. You may finish your first plate before you get your drink. You may not get a refill. Your server will most likely not understand anything you say. So be prepared for that. read more

amazing food,service,and atmosphere I have went to this place most of the time 5out of 7 days a week food is always hot and good never got sick here I read reviews on people who literally just want free food or think food is free but none of them have a day of work as a cook or server but me having done cooking ,managing and serving at a movie theater I can say this is 100%great service and food. read more

My friends and I come here a few times and and found the foods quality's up and down. Sometimes not so fresh but still acceptable. Until tonight we encountered the worst service from this restaurant. The boss blamed us on lying about a drink. Food can not save the service. read more

Waitress rude. Large roaches crawling on booths while we were eating. Our last time eating there. Told waitress. She knocked roache on the floor. read more

For the price, you can't really beat this place. If you're like me, you go to a buffet for the variety and quality is a bonus. I think everything here is pretty good. Nothing is super great. Although the Mongolian grill was surprisingly good. I just wish it weren't such a wait. I come here for things like crab Rangoon, which I would never order or buy à la carte. I don't do desserts, But I did have one of the yeast buns which reminded me of Golden Corral. It's clean enough, and Service is attentive enough. I've been here five times in the last five months, and it's a solid four stars every time. read more

People are very nice there. However, my daughter found a black hair on her plate and on her shrimp. After we let the staff know, they alerted the kitchen, then our waitress proceeded to stare at us until we left our table, very rude. There were many tables open, no adjustment to our bill was offered and none of us have black hair. Would not recommend! read more

Food was good, clean. Lots of staff working. There was no big difference from lunch to dinner choices, a few more sea food dishes. I will return. read more

You shouldn't always listen to negative reviews you see. I have eaten here a half dozen times and the place is clean, friendly staff, and delicious food. Today I enjoyed a Hibachi Grill vegetarian with medium spices, along with hot & sour soup, and it all was delicious. read more

King Chinese Buffet - Hibachi grill of vegetables ,bok choi, and hot & sour soup. - Chinese Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

How much is lunch nowadays? Been looking for a good place to eat with a fair price. Yeah

I'm giving a 5 star based on buffet food quality. It was above average and the prices are very reasonable. Great selection of food and sushi. Walked out 3 adults and a child for about $35 Beware of some of the negative reviews. 1 was for fog on glass, and another idiot was upset he didn't get a menu at the buffet and left when nobody told him how buffets work... We avoided this place due to reviews and tried first time today. We will be back. read more

I would give this a 3.5 because I actually think this place is pretty solid in the essentials and with what they have. It's a buffet so I think one should have realistic expectations with food being warmed out and made in large quantities. Regardless, they have good staples that I always enjoy such as the different variations of shrimp (salt and pepper shrimp, coconut shrimp, and butterfly fried shrimp)! That's something I absolutely recommend getting and I always get here and has never been bad! It's only during dinner or weekends they have better selections but the coconut chicken is also good and I'd still eat for lunch specials. Really seafood is the main thing you should be going for here besides the shrimp, I'd recommend the calamari, crawsfish, mussels, salmon and clams! I also enjoy the chow fun/mein as it's my staple any place! I think those are the stars at this buffet, but you can also get hibachi and there's also sushi if you're okay with not the freshest you'd taste. Dessert is usually meh for me here and the individual ice cream packages I'm not a huge fan of unfortunately and prefer soft serve or the large buckets of different ice cream. TLDR; get the shrimp, calamari, chow fun/mein noodles, seafood and then whatever else you like P.S. If you're like me, there's actually a lot of value in getting the to-go meals if you need to stock up on meals like I did during a very stressful exam season read more

I ate here on a Wednesday night for dinner with one other person. These are my thoughts and observations. - There's a wide selection to choose from. - The food was awful. I hardly liked anything I tried and most of the dishes were bland. - The buffet wasn't clean. I found bits of seafood in the pudding, no distinct spoon for some dishes, etc. - There was a family behind us that thought it was okay to let their children blast Baby Shark on repeat. I feel like a waiter should have stopped that. - The service was mediocre. Overall, there's better options for Chinese in the area. I'd pass on this place. read more

Came at about 11am on a Sunday cause I was passing through and love to eat. I dined alone (as I often do, I'm fine, just like eating alone) and the wait staff was still very attentive. The food was hot and fresh and the restaurant was already a little busy. Sushi definitely wasn't a quality I'm interested in but it still tasted fresh and not prepackaged. Did not try the hibachi bar or see anyone else ordering from there so not sure that's good. What I did like about this buffet was options, value, freshness. Finding a buffet that checks on the food temperatures and quality is surprisingly hard to find. I think in the triangle area this is one of the best casual dining Chinese buffets. read more

The food was pretty good and the best part was the hibachi for sure but there were good desserts and good food overall! The service was pretty good everyone was nice and was treating us well! The place looked good but it was very silent and the bathroom had dirty toilet paper on the floor. Everything here was good and I would definitely go here again when I'm craving the Chinese buffet. read more

Great selection of foods. Flavors aren't too distinctive, though, and lean towards almost bland. Added a bit of soy and hot mustard to spice it up. Didn't get the hibachi, but the offerings appeared fresh. Enjoyed the sushi and the fresh brewed tea was phenomenal. Would visit again, and will try the hibachi. read more

Walked in, a gentleman seated me and a server/bus girl walked past me 6 times. Never stopped to ask if I needed a menu or anything. The bathroom needs attention. After 15 mins, I'm leaving. read more

Usually I try my best to be optimistic, especially seeing reviews. Although this might arguably be one of the worst Chinese buffets I've ever been to! In my opinion I would not wanna come here nor remember I was here. There is such an odd smell once you enter and with all the steam and moisture from the trays, all the food was cold and old. Even if they had an off day, I'm very dissatisfied and upset I spent my money here. read more

this place has the worst meat I have ever tasted in my entire life, it was still raw in certain places and had absolutely no seasoning at all- I tried to eat two pieces and threw up for an hour after read more

The boss want to change me for hot water. She blamed me I shouldn't drink all of it so the remaining can prove it's water instead of tea.

The price makes up for the ok food. All you can eat is always nice and it's extremely cheap. Not super authentic but it's ok!

Great selection and very popular. Would say 4 stars but I'm giving 5 since some of these other reviews are outrageously low ex. Some moron giving it 1 star since "he didn't get a menu" read more
