    Lots of sushi rolls to choose from
    Sheila R.

    Well I finally made my way over to Kingdom Buffet and I couldn't get over how many people were already inside! This place is huge and reminded me of a Vegas buffet. The sushi rolls, crab Rangoon, and coconut shrimp were my favorites. I stuck with prepared dinner food and skipped the hibachi, although I am willing to bet that it was good. I was on sensory overload and didn't feel like figuring out how it worked. I also skipped the crab legs. They were too small in my opinion to bother cracking. Lastly, I passed on dessert too. It didn't look like anything worth bothering with (I.e. jello, ice cream, premade eclairs, etc.). This restaurant was loud, but the service was fast and friendly. Not sure that I will rush back, but if Asian buffets are your thing, you might want to go.

    I have heard some buzz on this buffet and we had been invited to lunch with family friends providing the opportunity to visit sooner rather than later. There is ample parking and conveniently located at the Stop & Shop plaza on Kitts Lane in Newington, right next to Stop & Shop. This is probably one of the better buffets I have been to. They even have a noodle station beside the usual stations found at other buffets. The sushi station not only has sushi rolls, it also has assorted sushi and sashimis with a variety of sauces. The staff were quick to clear tables and attentive. Everything was clean too. It wasn't overly crowded when I went either. I had a great experience.

    I finally decided to check out Kingdom Buffet after seeing it all over TikTok, and I'm glad I did. They opened in January this year, so they are still pretty new. The restaurant is very clean and spacious, with tons of options including meats, rice, noodles, fresh fruit, seafood, sushi, a hibachi station, pizza, and more. It is definitely comparable to Royal Buffet, which used to be in Manchester,CT. If you know, you know. The highlight was crab legs, crawfish, and whole crab. You really cannot go wrong with that. The food was seasoned well and fresh, and they were constantly bringing out new trays. The staff were attentive, and everything stayed stocked. The only downside for me was the butter served with the crab legs. It tasted off and was almost inedible. All in all, I enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

    A very clean place with a huge variety of sushi and also Chinese food so you can either get cooked or raw and there's something for everyone. It's also very clean. You don't have to do the buffet if you want you can just take a Styrofoam container and fill it with what you want and then they weigh it for you otherwise you can do the buffet.

    Family adventures My kid found this place on TikTok and we decided to try it out. It was good but with average buffet flavors. The food variety was good, I went straight for the sushi and I liked it. , the only thing was it lacked of salad options . The only thing we didn't try was the hibachi station but that will be on our next trip. I was impressed with the cleanliness that had a A+ including the bathroom was spotless. And the waitress was friendly and attentive that also had an A . Until our next visit.

    I was very impressed with this buffet since we don't have any good Chinese buffet around us in CT. Since this buffet is new, everything is new, clean, and food and good at the moment. I hope they do not slip and reduce the quality of food. They have soups, dumplings, Chinese food, fried apps, American food, habachi, sushi, and decent amount of seafood for dinner. They also had fruits and salad. I was extremely happy to see the yellow dragonfruit. I ate a ton! Besides the fruits for dessert there's cup ice cream cookies, and some bakery goods. I def will be back again. I wasn't disappointed and imperial has competition. They might close down being near kingdom buffet in my opinion

    At 4PM on Super Bowl Sunday I was shocked to see Kingdom Buffet so packed. And I'm talking multiple parties of 10-20 people walking in, with birthday balloons and Valentine's flowers and such. It was an equal shock to be seated so quickly and have our drink orders taken (but the server indignantly protested my request for "free" soda when I had actually requested "three" for our table). Anyway... The food was fine, but the prices were high for a buffet. The sushi and sashimi were the standouts for me while everything else was typical buffet fare. On this bone chilling day I would have loved some soup, but I didn't see any. The lines were definitely a hindrance, though, so I probably missed a lot because I didn't want to stand in the hibachi line or wait for the comically tiny crab legs to be refilled. Maybe I'll go back in a few months when the newness wears off and the crowds die down.

    Hot food, including pizza (for the kids) and apple strudel for desert.

    A nice pan-Asian offering in Newington. The buffet has items that range from Japanese sushi, to hot Chinese-American dishes as well as a to-order noodle bar, finishing with a whole dessert section with fresh fruit, jello and pastry options. The food overall is quite a bit better than normal buffet fare. Everything is hot, fresh, and filling. In some ways, I preferred the hot food to the sushi, which itself is quite good as well; obviously you can't come here expecting the same quality as a high end Japanese restaurant, but it is nevertheless quite good. The restaurant is well staffed; they are very attentive in coming by to refill drinks and clear dishes. Lunch ran in the low $20 mark for an all you can eat lunch + hot tea, which is pretty good for what you get. I'm curious to see if they're able to maintain the quality over time, or if they'll start to slide while they maximize profits. Give it a try!

    3.5 stars. Went to Kingdom Buffet for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was $26.95 for adults on the weekend. I feel like it was a bit pricey but everything is nowadays. I went with my partner and it ran about $58 before tip. The place was clean and I like the spacing of the tables. The waitress was attentive and refill drinks quickly. Along with the normal buffet, they had a sushi, hibachi, and noodle area. I didn't try the make your own hibachi or noodles but the sushi was pretty good for a buffet. I did enjoy the normal Chinese American buffet. They refill it with fresh hot food quickly. Some parts of the buffet is single line so there is a bit of a wait if you're behind someone who is taking forever. You may have to jump over them if you're a bit impatient. Overall nice clean buffet just a bit pricey for people who get full quickly.

    I went to the Kingdom buffet from my birthday.It was amazing.The food was great.The server was great.I will definitely come back here again

    I went here for my birthday september 6 me in a couple people The food was hot the atmosphere was amazing and the server was great.I will definitely come back here again

    Once you come to this Chinese buffet, you won't go anywhere else! The place is brand new. Super clean and the ambiance is very nice. The restaurant is huge and the staff is constantly cleaning and keeping an eye on things. The food selection was excellent. So much sushi and seafood, the traditional Chinese dishes and American dishes as well and the choice to do hibachi. Everything was fresh and plentiful. The shrimp they serve is huge! No baby shrimps here! lol it's a bit more expensive than other Chinese buffets, but well worth it. Go hungry!

    We decided to stop at Kingdom Buffet for lunch and had a good experience. The service was phenomenal, our waitress was so attentive and so friendly with our toddler. The place was huge and beautifully set up, the food area was very clean and there were some nice offerings like a sushi bar, hibachi station and noodle bar besides the regular prepared food. Everything tasted great but would have loved to see a bit more variety compared to other buffets Ive been to. Overall it was a good experience.

    So many amazing and unique sushi flavors (Photo by Deanna Troy Travels)

There's limited seating, but options for indoor/outdoor tables. They also sell these cute hand crafted plant pots! Mango Bingsu (pictured regular sized) {5/5}: Fresh mango chunks on both the top and bottom layers along with a mango puree in between layers of shaved condensed milk ice. "Mom" came over when we got to the middle layer and poured extra mango puree for us :) It did get a little too sweet at the bottom, but overall enjoyable

    On a warm, sunny day I was craving a poke bowl, but knew that my go-to place has sadly closed. I…read moredon't live near the center of Newington so I was unaware that Mom and Pop's existed (and has for about four years, apparently - oops!). Once again, Yelp to the rescue. I was confused when I first checked the menu options on the website because literally every choice said 'unavailable.' To be fair, it was 10:42AM and they open at 11. However, this remained the case until closer to noon, at which point I was able to build my own bowl. Picking two proteins was easy but they don't really make it clear how many mix-ins and toppings you can have, so I probably shorted myself. Ultimately I chose salmon and tuna with white rice, carrots, cilantro, pickled ginger, and green onions. After placing my order I waited for the promised email, which never came. Finally, after about 20 min, I saw that my order was 'complete' and headed over, miraculously scoring a parking spot right in front. Once inside it was more confusion as there is no dedicated pickup area, Mom was in her own prep and chop mode, and Pop was focused solely on walk-in orders. But after managing to catch his attention I was on my merry way, with a somewhat underwhelming poke bowl, ONE napkin, and the offer of chopsticks (which I declined). A takeout bag would've been appreciated but was not provided. Back at home I surveyed the bowl before digging in. Everything was accounted for and the fish was good. The rice tasted like yesterday's leftovers, though, and I've never been served cilantro stems instead of leaves. Again, the bowl was fine; not the best poke I've ever had, but I'd be willing to give them a second chance and perhaps choose some different or additional fixings next time.

I got the filet mignon and chicken hibachi with fried rice, noodles, vegetables and shrimp, plus the teriyaki steak appetizer. I also swapped the salad for a second clear soup because the soup is THAT good. The filet is unbelievable. Extremely tender, perfectly cooked, and easily some of the best steak I've had at a hibachi restaurant. The chicken and shrimp were excellent, the fried rice and noodles were fantastic, and even the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The teriyaki steak appetizer is also absolutely worth getting. I've genuinely yet to have a single thing here that wasn't excellent. Portions are huge, the presentation is great, and the service has been ridiculously fast. My first visit I had two soups, an appetizer, and my entire entrée and was paying the bill within about 30-40 minutes. It was basically the perfect sit-down lunch: much better food than grabbing fast food, without turning lunch into a two-hour event. The restaurant itself has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere, and they also have the traditional hibachi tables if you want the full tableside experience. Came back again only 10 days after my first visit and ordered the exact same meal. That probably says more than anything else I could write. Easy 5/5. This place deserves way more attention.

The location is always beautiful and clean. We felt a little rushed at dinner though, as our check came before we even finished or slowed down our eating and the server had already brought us boxes. Maybe their shift was ending or they wanted a break, but this meant as we kept eating we got no more water filled, too. Just something to keep in mind, even if just one person at the table is still eating.

    Great service, great ramen, overall great experience…read more Attempted to come to this place a few times before. Eash time, there was a significant wait so we tried someplace else. This time, we made a small trek during a slow time and managed to get quick seating. Inside is nice but a small location, about 20 tables and even with the off time most of them were filled. We sat and immediately were brought waters and dishes. The team is designed to be a brigade, with everyone participating in the service. This led to very quick service and easy access to a server. We got two ramens and a dumplings to share. The food took a couple minutes but we quickly had dumplings and soup and we took our pics and dug in. The dumplings were freshly made, loose but flavorful filling with a pool of sauce on the bottom for dipping. The wrapper was delightfully thin and the garnishes added little pops of texture and flavor which changed the flavor profile of the filling. Those were very good dumplings I got a truffle shoyu ramen. The noodles were freshly made, springy and a little chewy but a great sauce vessel. the toppings were plentiful, the shoyu pork wasn't the most tender but the pieces were nicely charred and sauces to be distinct in the dish. The broth started off as straight seafood broth, lots of briny umami but little depth. Once I mixed the truffle scoop in, the flavor really bloomed. Now the broth had an earthy, mellow base note which made the broth a surf and turf umami bomb. It was very tasty, and the best ramen I've had in ct. Price is not bad, $55 for two bowls, add on wontons for the missus's soup and the appetizer. For the quality, the price is really good for what you get. It's easy to understand why this place is as busy as it gets. It's a great ramen shop and worth the trek to try. Delicious ramen done well and fast.

Staff seated us quickly and were solid with service - orders were taken fast and food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

I wouldn't mind coming back if in the area again, but would probably stick to ramen just for comfort.
