Wish I could give them 0 stars food was very poorly made wasn't even warm by the time we got it. Bread was stale oysters were sour & The drink lady was rude as ever & mumbled EVERYTHING. Then as my husband was in the bathroom changing the baby (which the lady serving us our food knew) I went to the car to get his card & another lady proceeded to literally yell 'YOU STILL HAVE TAB YOU CANT LEAVE' like ??? Did u not just hear me tell the other lady helping us I'm grabbing the card from the car? Maybe if u stayed in ur lane & didn't profile us & did u job helping the ppl u were suppose to tend to the line wouldn't be wrapped around the damn dinning room. Won't be coming back here would have been better off at Panda Express. Embarrassing that she had the whole dining room looking at me like I was up to no good & we were nothing but nice even to the rude 'waitress'. read more

My 7 year old niece found a chopstick wrapper inside her pink lemonade. It was pretty gross. The server was not rude but not very friendly either. After we told him the wrapper was in the drink he did replace it but didn't seem very sorry. I felt they should have gave us free drinks because of that but still charged us. The servers are kind of rude and they don't smile. The food is ok. But if u plan on eating here I suggest u pay close attention to what ur putting in ur mouth. With the wrapping found in her soda also shows they don't wash their dishes or are not aware of what they're doing. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

The food was just really bad. We went with 6 people and no one found anything they liked. For the Mongolian bbq the raw meat and seafood was not on ice - seems pretty dangerous. The avocado in the sushi was brown/rotting, so I'm not sure what that says about the fish. I would almost say inedible. read more

No stars if I could. Will not return. Came several years ago and was disappointed then as well. Returned only because someone invited me and decided to give this place another chance. Upon arrival it took forever to seat us, even though no one else was waiting to be seated. Finally I enter and the floors are dirty, our table, chairs and tabletop items (salt, soy sauce) were all crusty as if they have never been wiped down. The food was decent for what you'd expect for a buffet like this however I stuck to eating the same two things. I didn't use the restroom even though I wanted to after someone in my party told me how it was: filthy, the sink all grimy and moldy. If I find a way to report this place to health and safety I will definitely do so. I'm sure more than one has gotten sick simply because this place is so unclean. read more

I've never had a bad experience here. I've been coming here for over 10 years since I was a little baby girl. My family and I love it. Y'all need to bring the crab legs back!! read more

This place has little to no standard when it comes down to food quality. Food is too greasy and left to absorb the low grade ingredients. They should be paying you instead. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Rude service. Old stale food. Food tasted like it's been out for days. The ladies working were walking around pointing at others at different tables talking about them. read more

I don't Kno why everyone is crying about this place! I love a buffet where I can possibly become deathly ill from food poisoning!!

Don't even waste your time. This place is probably the nastiest place I've ever ate at. The food has no flavor and is either undercooked or over cooked. The shrimp is mushy and falls apart when you try to pick it up. The staff is rude and ignores you until you get their attention. If I could give no stars, I would. read more

Not the best and not the worst. For $8.99 and the amount of food they offer it's not bad. The place do need to get cleaned up a bit. The first table we were given had all kinds of food stuff on the floor and wet seats. We asked to moved to another table and it was fine. Overall I will not go out of my way to eat here. Average Chinese buffet food and the place can use a bit more attention in the cleaning dept. read more

Dude this place is so gross. I regret coming here yesterday for lunch with my boyfriend. The last time my boyfriend and I went here was for dinner, and it was ok/good that time. We hesitated on coming here based on the Yelp reviews, but we decided to go because we were starving. The only good food here were the cheese mussels, the crab rangoons, the shrimp, and some soups. The fried rice had no taste and smelled like dish washer soap, the sushi had rotten avocado used inside, more than half the food was cold due to no heater underneath.. basically I paid $18 for two people just to eat three types of food, and I didn't go back for thirds. Usually, reeeealllly good buffets, I'll have rounds of plates. But this, this will upset my stomach if I got more plates. Never. Ever. Ever. Coming back. read more

We went there today for lunch. The BBQ part of the restaurant was closed do to manning. Should have been indicator number 1 it was going to be a rough lunch. Wife and I both filled the plates with different items from the buffet and the food was cold! We watched them stock the buffet as we were choosing our items and even still when biting into them the center of the chicken was cold and nasty. I WOULDNT feed my dog food from this place. I NEVER write reviews but felt i should for this. Waiter was nice at least. Only thing edible was the pizza if that tells you anything... read more

I am sorry, I didn't like that place. It's a messy place, not so clean, the workers are not so nice, and the food is not so bad but not so good. read more

chinese food is good and I like this place. good food and and even better goldfish viewing

I do not recommend food was flavorless greasy and didn't look appetizing if you are out this way DO NOT TO THIS PLACE

I give this place 2 stars the food was ok but in my sprite I ordered I found a little black thing asked for another one and the sprite tasted like tap sparkling water it was bad read more

Once upon a few years ago, this place was the place to go. Now, it's just... crap! Very disappointing. My family and I ate here for my nephew's birthday, and we quickly regretted it. Their staff communication was very poor seeing as how the hostess told us that the birthday celebrant eats for free then another staff member told us we have to pay. That's the least of the matter, as we didn't care for paying. The service was poor. We were ignored plenty of times when we asked for things such as soda/refills and extra utensils. Before we were given anything we asked for, the server never failed to make us repeat ourselves then give us the dirty look from the corner of her eyes (or roll them). They didn't care to check up on us except when counting heads in our party, repeatedly! Their food was mediocre at best. I had a bowl of lukewarm tofu soup and various samples. I tried the fried calamari, which didn't last in my mouth very long. It was so chewy that I couldn't even break it in half. The coconut shrimp had too much heavy cream, and their cream cheese wonton was literal to its name with all cream cheese and nothing else. The sushi and sashimi station was dark and consisted of only two utensils for picking up food. I didn't dare try much more, especially because I had to wipe three plates before I was somewhat satisfied with its cleanliness. It seemed as though they rushed through washing the dishes, and didn't realize that there were residues left on most. I asked for chopsticks so I didn't have to use the fork. The restaurant has a rule stating that if your child is over 5 ft tall, he/she will be charged as an adult. On the contrary, if you're an adult under 5 ft tall, you will still be charged as an adult. Yeeeah.. read more

After spending around $200 for my wedding party and myself after the rehearsal, the waiter rudely told my Wife: "You know the tip isn't included in the bill, right?" Tip? For what? Spilling drinks on my groomsmen? Being hard to understand when he was taking our drink orders? And what makes that comment about the tip even more under handed was he waited to say that when all the guys stepped outside and it was only my Wife putting down the cash to pay. Food to me is good enough however I don't believe the waiters deserved to be tipped. read more

Am I like the only one that thought this place was good? Lol, they had the BIGGEST oyster I've EVER seen in my life. It was like the size of the plate. Their crab was good. I ate 10 plates of crab legs. I really like their selection. Maybe because the cheap buffet in Seattle are so crappy. I thought also that it was amazingly cheap, $13.99 for a person for dinner. Amazing. =) 1 star off for.. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE + NO SMILE. I mean is it that hard to smile? Geez, you give us the impression that you are in prison or something read more

DO NOT EAT THE KING CRAB LEGS! I thought this was kind of ironic... the place IS called King Buffet, so I expected the KING crab to taste good. Man! It was like licking a spoonful of salt. No flavor to it either. The steamed white fish was ok.. Everything else was mediocre. The mongolian bbq was horrible. It wasnt even hot. We had to wait 20 mins for someone to show up at the counter. The only plus to this place is that many of their dishes use very little oil, so props to that! But other than that... ehhh.... Go to another buffet. read more

For a cheap seafood buffet, I guess you get what you pay for.... Like Danny C said, I guess you never should have much expectations from a Chinese buffet, but hey, this IS pretty bad.... Food choice wise, plenty to choose from. Stir fried crabs, crawfish, king crab legs, black bean sauce clams, just to name a few from the seafood selection, and the standard chinese takeout stuff, you know? Sushi - umm.. didn't touch it, didn't want to touch it, nor shall i attempt to eat it, just didn't look appealing at all to me dim sum - c'mon, it's 3 for a buck in Chinatown... Bf seems to get food poison from this place, he felt sick after we ate, and threw up a lil. Bf's mom was happily eating, she love the food choices, and she ate more than 4 people combine.... Service was good, the waiter was very thoughtful and when we told him that it was the bf's mom's birthday, he customized a desert plate for us even though there was no complimentary cake for birthday. Overall, food kinda sucks, but you get what you pay for I guess. Returning? no... phank you. read more

This place isn't very good. The sweet and sour chicken was cold, the pizza tasted horrible, and instead of homemade cookies it was chips ahoy chocolate chip cookies. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The pigs in a blanket were rock hard, black pepper potatoes were greasy, seafood was ok. read more

It's a Chinese buffet and Mongolian BBQ. Have you ever walked away from a Chinese buffet saying "Man, that was the best Chinese food I've ever eaten!"? I think not. Will you say that about this place? I think not. It should really only get two stars, but I let it keep one extra star for the Mongolian BBQ using fresh meats instead of frozen shaved meats like other Mongolian BBQ joints. Though the sauce choices were limited. Other than that, it was mostly a "whatever" experience. read more

First off the ladies bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was throw up in the sink and at least two whole rolls of toilet paper on the floor and counters. I left the bathroom and told the staff when I first arrived, at the end of my visit I still had to use the restroom so I went back and it was in the same condition. Second, the food (particularly the teriyaki chicken, crab, vegetable lo mein, shrimp, and sweet and sour chicken) was unbearably disgusting and all of it was cold. Needless to say I will not be back considering the only upside to my visit was my drink didn't go empty read more

I wish there was an option for "zero" stars. Awful. The Service * Gave us our drinks and that was it * Never came back to refill our drinks * Never took any of the dirty plates The Food * 70% Non-Chinese Food / 30% Soggy, Flavorless Chinese Food. * Most of the meat was pretty soggy as if it was over cooked in juices or grease. * The vegetables were half-cooked. * Not much of a selection as most of the food was terrible. * Fresh strawberries at the time were the best thing in the entire buffet I was so upset after having to pay $17 a person for terrible service and awful food. I wanted to walk out of the restaurant without paying but saved myself the trouble and paid with a "now we know" attitude and lesson learned. I didn't leave a tip for the waitress because she didn't do anything. This was the first time I've never left a tip for someone. How can you tip someone who doesn't do their job? By the looks of the rest of the reviews, most people had the same experience that I did. Save yourself the trouble and take these reviews to heart, skip this place and grab some In-N-Out down the street. read more

My sister and I ate at this restaurant yesterday. The food was disgusting and some looked like it had been sitting there for days. The wait staff never acknowledged us never smiled or spoke to us other than asking how many were in our party. The table we were seated at was filthy sticky are around it. It was pricey. The bathrooms were disgusting wet rags out in the bathroom counter, toilet paper all over the floor also the floor was wet I would honestly say this was by far the worst dining experience we had at a Chinese Buffet I would never recommend anyone to eat there. It was gross . Upon leaving both of us became sick with stomach cramps and diarrhea both looking at each other and asking what the hell did we both just eat. Nasty read more

Still years after my first initial review, I still say this place isn't the best I've had. It is a little better in quality and food variety than other buffets in the area. The best thing I've eaten here so far is the korean short ribs and even they were super greasy! When things are cooked on the grill, you'd expect some of the oil to burn away but this place defies the laws of physics. Still I think you would be better off driving to Davis for their buffets for seafood or asian american food. read more

This place used to be one of my favorite places to go but the last few times I've gone the food hasn't been that good and the restroom are so nasty daddy makes you think if they can keep their bathrooms like this what's the kitchen look like not sure if I'll be going back anytime soon read more

It's a buffet, you get what you pay for. I've come here numerous times over the years and the service is always great, very kind workers. The food at dinner is way better than lunch, try not to come after maybe 7, because then the food (it's a 2 hour hot case) is still safe to eat but not as succulent as it could be. When we come for dinner we get here between 5 and 6 and have never had a problem with freshness or taste. As for the guy that found a hairball, I doubt that. MAAAAYBE but after having been a regular here for 12 years, I've never had hair or anything in my food that shouldn't have been there. Better than Hometown Buffet, not quite as good as Wah Shine. Quit your complaining about a cheap buffet and get your face stuffed with decent food at a low cost. read more

Gross. Just gross. The food is way below subpar and the service is so-so. Very disappointing to have experienced a Chinese buffet so horrible. Definitely not coming back. It isnt worth the $12.99 per adult. read more

Food looked like it had been sitting for quite a long time. Steamer tables were dirty. Utensils were dirty. Serving utensils were filthy. Was afraid to eat there and I walked out. read more

The one star is because the food was good not many vegetarian option the service was horrible and by the time we where getting ready to pay the lady in the cash register was on her phone playing a game btw 1st there and last read more

Went here today very disappointing it was nasty not clean and bathrooms were so disgusting the whole restaurant was not cleaned even the food was nasty so disappointed I came here before it was so good I don't know what happen today read more

Last time I came here with my family, they sat us down in their private/back room reserved for another family's 50th birthday party. It wasn't like the other part of the restaurant was filled either, it was just poor seating management on their part! It was a bit uncomfortable, considering but whatever I guess... I'm not a fan of Chinese buffets and I usually find nothing enjoyable to munch on. King's buffet at least has a nice salad selection, for they have mushrooms, beats, olives, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and more! Pretty shocking for a Chinese buffet, but I'll take it. I also liked their texas toast, but the salad and texas toast shouldn't be the two items I enjoy at a CHINESE buffet. Their chinese dishes look like they came from a packaged box laced with excessive amounts of oil sometimes and just never taste good. Come here for the salad and texas toast, if that's what you want from a Chinese buffet. read more

This place is seriously gross. The food has been out for I dont even want to know how long. The bathrooms are trashed and nasty . The place needs to be cleaned SO bad . Not sure how they can miss the layer of dust and old dried up food on the walls . read more

There is something for everybody, but some children may not like it too much. It's cheap and fills you up. I like the Mongolian BBQ section where you pile and pile as much meat, veggies, and noodles as you like. No need to mash down the rolled meat that takes up more space. A decent looking salad bar that I didn't try because of the aforementioned Mongolian BBQ. Service was quick and by the time we leave the table to get more, the dirty plates we left behind were already cleared. It's nothing really special and nobody was complaining at our table. 5 adults and 4 children set us back $97. read more

I've only been here once and from my experience, I left more than satisfied. I was surprised to see that the average rating of this buffet is only a 2/5 since I found it to be pretty decent but to each his own, I guess. If you know me, you know my appetite and boy.. can I eat. The first thing I always look for at Chinese buffets like these is a Mongolian BBQ station so when I saw that this place had one, I was already happy. What disappointed me about their Mongolian BBQ, though, was how undercooked their shrimp was. I mean, I could already tell it hadn't been fully cooked by just looking at it so I'm not too sure what made the dude cooking it for me think it was done but whatever. This seems to be an issue at most Mongolian BBQ stations in buffets I've been to so I let it pass pretty easily. Two other things I look for in buffets, especially during dinner hours, are crab and crawfish. I don't remember if they only two different types of crab like other buffets do but all I know is that I went through two plates full of crab legs and two plates of crawfish. I didn't try any of the standard buffet dishes so I can't say much about them but there was a huge selection. Our server lagged with bringing our table our crackers to crack open those crab legs and always forgot whenever we asked for refills on our beverages. I'll give this place 3 stars because of the cleanliness, mongolian BBQ station, king crab legs, and crawfish. I doubt I'll be coming back since this place is a good 30 minute drive away from me. read more

I had high hopes for this and it was okay experience. The floor is never clean, so it looks like they just don't do so. However, I cannot lie that the fries are really good. That's the only reason they got 3 stars. It was just an alright experience... read more

2nd time coming back here and I even forgot about this place, cause most of the time, we were at Concord area at Tomi. Price for weekend all day is $13.99 which is reasonable. Arrived at 11:30am. Staff is very friendly and alert. They always look out for plates that needs to be put away, and soda refills. The guys/waiters looked like Stars from Koreanovela. Make sure you tip 'em for their great, exceptional service! Parking is spacious. Okay, now- verdict for the food. Fresh, hot, clean and they never leave it empty. Seafood, Chinese, American, Sushi, Mongolian bbQ, desserts, fresh fruits. They have it all. A must try list would be: mussels, fried shrimp, sugared donuts, buchi, cheese rangoon, fried rice. I could go on, and on.. I dont know why so much hate and bad reviews on this place. Give it a try and see if you will love it as 5stars or if it will fail you. I don't see anything wrong but all positive, yet. Will be back to take the whole fambam!! Thanks King's Buffet for treating customers like a King! read more
