Hot & Sour soup (the only decent thing here!)
Vanessa D.

The only decent thing was their hot and sour soup. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it was so dry! Terrible quality chicken. Even their edamame was missing sea salt.

Friday my boyfriend was really craving some asian food and he wanted to try a new place and this is what we found. We ordered orange chicken, general tso's, lo mien, and the two main entrees coke with fried rice and we ordered it for take out. Very good price for how large the portions were. We got it home and we demolished it, but in reality we barely put a dent in it, lol. The orange chicken was delightful, the sauce was tasty and the chicken was crispy and hot, same goes for the general tso's! The rice had a wonderful flavor, and don't get me started on the lo mein, great flavor and decent sized shrimp in it, oh man was it good!! And it was good the next day, if anything the sauces marinated even deeper int the chicken. Def will be back in the near future for some tasty Asian food takeout. And maybe I'll take some photos to show off the large portions.

I'm not sure when, but this place changed management (and maybe even the name) because I'd been here before and wasn't too crazy to return but the family kept raving on how good the food is....so we went. I wasn't expecting to be able to order the lunch option during the weekend, but we were able to. We ordered a shrimp fried rice with extra egg, combo lo mein and honey sesame chicken, and it all came with chicken egg rolls. We dined in and the food came quick and everything looked bomb (not dry and flavorful) and IT WAS. The servings were huge and of course we had to get to go plates. The restaurant has a drive thru, so again, service is quick. I'll return and what can I say, the family was right.

very dried out cardboard chicken
Denise H.

This is their very dried out cardboard chicken the egg rolls were burnt and you could choke on the dried rice! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND ORDER SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Thank you fortune cookie!

Buffet King at 2251 S Loop 288, Denton, TX 76205…read more More than just your typical Chinese buffet restaurant. So much food options to go over so many choices. Services always good and on point. The lunch special with a drinking and tip is usually under $20 per person so this would be a very good buffet any day of the week.

I mean it's a chinese buffet. Went out of conscience with a bunch of family, but was pretty mid as…read moreexpected. There was a hibachi station where you could choose meats like thin beef, chicken, and pork, along with veggies, spices, and sauces. It was nice since i wanted to get my protein up without all the oil lol. Now I don't know if the meats are very fresh, but the station was cold so that's good. The hot foods I had were also pretty good and warm for buffet. My favorite was the pan fried dumplings, but again not the best obviously. In regards to the sushi, I didn't even wanna touch the raw nigiri for my own safety; salmon had no visible fat lines, and tuna didn't look appetizing at all, almost grey. I got some pieces of the rolls, unagi, and inari and those were actually better than i expected. The rolls are pretty close to tokyo one in plano, or osaka in addison. The inari was nice and sweet, but the unagi was kind of just getting carried by the sauce lol. Service wasn't the best, got one refill the entire time, and was fasting that day. The place is decently clean and nothing to really complain about there. Overall for a big easy family outing, not bad, but would not eat here again myself

Service was great but the place is quite filthy…read more.. Food was bad and look like it was left out for a long time. They take the time to refill. Do not recommend... go to the king buffet on 35 in Denton.

I wasn't planning to write a review, but this place left such a bad taste in my mouth (pun…read moreintended) that I still get angry thinking about it. In March 2019, my dad and I both became extremely ill after eating here. I woke up at 3 a.m. with a very high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. I was sick for hours and continued dealing with nausea for nearly five days. We both ended up in the ER, and I required IV fluids and monitoring. It was, without question, the sickest I have ever been. I reported this restaurant to city code, and the health department was there within an hour of my complaint. Below is the report from the health department: "Anonymous, Our inspection of the New China King Buffet did not go well, and the restaurant has been closed until it can come up to basic health standards. In short, the kitchen needs a thorough cleaning, temperature rules were not being obeyed, and practices within the kitchen were not up to modern standards. Again, I am sorry that you and your family became ill, but I do appreciate you taking the time to inform us of the problem. Please let me know if there is anything more that I can provide you. Respectfully, Kevin Cummings | Chief Health Inspector Department of Development Services | Consumer Health Division" What concerns me even more is that the restaurant appeared to reopen almost immediately. I'm not sure how that process works, but it was surprising given the severity of the violations. When I later filed a BBB complaint, the restaurant responded with claims that I showed up the next day to argue with them. That is completely false. I didn't leave my house for a week for being so ill. They also suggested only my dad was affected, which is also untrue--we were both seriously ill. This makes me question whether there were other incidents they may be confusing this with. They even threatened legal action over my review, which I find unreasonable. Customers have every right to share their honest experiences. Based on what happened to us and the pattern of reviews since, I would strongly urge others to be cautious when eating here.
