    I have to side with the negative reviewers on this one. I get that several buffet places haven't…read morebeen the same since Covid and a lot of them are now gone. But because this was somewhat near the edge of town, I thought this would be a nice place. I did read mixed reviews on Google, but Yelp had mostly negatives. The selection was very poor, and there were some basics like crab rangoon (which surprisingly wasn't that good) and rice, noodles, yada. I also have to agree with the reviewer that talked about the front counter guy as he acted like he was afraid of me. Don't get me wrong, I am not one to poke fun at one's disabilities...he should've been placed somewhere else in the restaurant.

    So I'm in Rome, New York, right? And I'm starving. I mean, I haven't eaten since breakfast, and…read moreit's already dinner time and I'm thinking, there's gotta be some decent restaurants in this town, right? But no. No, they don't. All they have is fast food. Fast food everywhere. McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC. And then I see it. A sign. A sign that says "Kings Buffet". And I think, maybe this is it. Maybe this is my salvation. Maybe this is where I'll find some real food. Some authentic, delicious, satisfying food. And I look at the reviews online, and they're mixed. I don't care. I'm desperate. I'm willing to take a chance. I'm willing to gamble with my stomach. So I go in. And I see the food. And it's... standard. Standard buffet quality. Nothing special. Nothing terrible. Just... food. And there's a lot of it. A lot of variety. And I'm surprised by the variety of non-Asian food on the menu. I'm hungry. I'm not picky. I'm not snobby. I'm not a food critic. I'm just a gal who wants to eat. So I grab a plate, and I pile it up. I pile it up with everything. Everything I can fit on the plate. And I go to my table, and I start eating. And it's... good. It's hot, it's fresh, it's filling. It reminds me a little bit of the Golden Corral. And I enjoy it. I enjoy my dinner. I go in hungry, and I leave full. And I think, that's all I can ask for. That's all I can ask for from a buffet.

    Very conveniently located hotel near Sylvan beach on Oneida Lake, Turning Stone Casino and the…read morequaint historic town of Verona. The hotel could use a facelift. Walk into an old fashioned lobby like walking into an old movie. The staff at the desk was friendly, the housekeeping staff was super friendly. The pool was closed so I could only view through the window. There was a conference room, and a short walk down the hall to the Verona Casino. Lots of parking, and you can sit outside and enjoy watching the harness racing. Very cool. I actually also had a view of the racing from my room. The room itself was clean, but again could use some upgrades. The bedding was old blankets, no comforter, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, and some coffee packets. Ice machine was right down the hall. Small couch and table with two chairs in the room. It is very comfortable. Did not get the resultant but it looks nice. Worth a visit if you are in the area and want to go to turning stone casino which is much higher priced.

    I love staying here it's so pretty and the staff is so helpful, Kaylib at the front desk knows…read moreeverything he is so informative. And helped us schedule for next year and answered any questions we had all week I love there breakfast on the patio .fvi to them when we were there some one complained about the pool being rusty if the replace the metal grates in the ceiling with plastic and paint the big door with the enamel paint it won't look rusty .otherwise it's perfect.

    Locals recommended this restaurant when I asked about Chinese buffet. We hadn't had buffet for…read more3yrs, since Covid19. We were happy with the Flaming Grill. It is a HUGE place, but it was lightly visited while we were there at 5pm on a Thursday. There were ~5 islands of hot food, 1 of cold w salads, a sushi area, an icecream novelty case, 4-6 soups. There was a Hibatchi area in back corner but I didn't try it. There were many types of breaded, fried, sauced chicken...all a bit dried out. The coconut shrimp was a little dried out. The green beans were tasty but limp. The rice noodles were a bit plain. I did not try the fish nor roast beef. BF said the pork was dry but good. But the SHELLFISH was really exceptional. Clams of different sizes, muscles in sauce, cold shrimp, hot shrimp, shrimp boil. My BF was like a bear in honey! Everything was clean but the place smelled oddly of petroleum? Service was quick and we felt relaxed. The bill was OK. Yes, we will come here again, when in the mood for Chinese buffet!

    Nice interior and speedy attentive service. I found the lo mein and rice to be pretty bland. I went…read moreright when they open so everything was fresh and hot. The winner for me was the hot and sour soup. It was delicious. The chicken and veggies were decent. Wish there was some more spicy options. Clean interior and bathrooms. Sushi and hibachi options.

I usually get takeout however I sat in 1 time and it was a beautiful experience. They bring out the food on beautiful silver plates you feel like royalty ! The ladies there are so nice. This is my forever spot and I will never go anywhere else!

    We went in at about 3:30pm Saturday (odd day as we missed lunch and were hungry for an early…read moredinner.) Open sign was lit / door unlocked and We were greeted promptly as we walked in. There was no one else in the restaurant but I didnt think much of it as this is an off time to eat a meal. We were seated with menus, promptly provided with water and a fried noodle snack dish. I asked for a menu in Chinese (Mandarin) as English is my Chinese Wife's second language but was told they did not have one (NP most American-Chinese restaurants do not but is worth asking i.e. The Red Chili restaurant in the same area provides a traditional Chinese menu). As soon as I started to order, the server interrupted me and told me that the cook had left on an errand and would not be back for at least 30 minutes and asked us if we mind waiting; she did offer to make some appetizers herself but there was enough uncertainly to cause us to decline and leave. My wife use to own a restaurant in Changchun (China) she agreed that the first bad decision was advertising they are open with no chef, the second silly decision was to wait so long before telling us. There are a lot of good reviews so might give it a second try at a different time.
