    the food was alright. the wonton soup was not very good. the purple cake was yummy. service fast.

    Couldn't decide which soup to get so why not both.
    Tina B.

    I come here to eat all the seafood I can eat. Clams, shrimp, soft shell crab, crawfish and some baby octopus looking things. It all tasted good to me. My favorites are the shrimp and clams. Very flavorful. I also enjoy their egg drop soup. Friendly service except for The guy working at the Mongolian station. He doesn't talk or smile. Parking lot can get pretty full but there are still a lot of seatings in the restaurant. I believe Saturday night is probably one of their most busiest time of the week so be prepare to wait for a table.

    A plate of dry mess.

    We will never eat here again. Food was so dry we couldn't even choke it down. The lady checking us out peeked in our box of to go food. Apparently we had 7 shrimp in the box which is now considered a mix plate for an up charge, so they weighed the plate at a higher cost due to the shrimp, which is located within all the dishes. They won't get my money again.

    Not too bad. Great variety, you get what you pay for but one of the better Asian Buffets I have been to.

I spent an hour today with Andrew & Theresa, Dining Service VIPs, who gave me a tour and a lot of information. Eagle Landing is strategically located across the street from UNT's new visitors center. It's $8.20 + tax at the door, anyone can eat there, all-you-can-to-eat. Students can use their Meal Plan just like the other dining halls. There was a steady flow of students who were loving every minute of this adventure. I was told that it's been so popular that it's common for a line to start at the door and wrap around the block. This is a food-hall style setting, meaning you visit any station you want, find a place to sit, stay as long as you like. There are 7 restaurants: WOOD GRILL (opening soon). Food cooked over a wood grill. AVENUE A (open) is homestyle favorites like fried chicken, mac & cheese, smoked BBQ, plus breakfast all day. LEAF (open) is plant-based featuring greens grown at Mean Green Acres, a non-GMO hydroponic garden, as well as fresh veggies, salads, soups, and plenty of 100% plant-based options. La Mesa (open) is a Latin fusion like street tacos, burritos, and tortillas made from scratch. BAMBOO (opening soon) Asian-inspired wok plus stir-fried rice & noodle dishes. CLARK BAKERY (open) is exactly what it sounds like! Yes, fresh pastries, warm cookies, cobblers, in-house homemade ice cream (shakes too!) and more. CIBO FRESCO (open) serving pizza, calzones, stromboli, and a daily pasta toss. I did notice that there is more space available for more restaurants, nice! This two story building offers numerous seating spaces. There are tables, booths, bar tops, and benches. There are quaint quiet areas, as well as, wide-open, European style seating. Social distancing is in place and enforced (notice the green ribbons).

    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.

Unfortunately, our visit became very embarrassing due to how my wife was treated by staff. After being seated, we waited several minutes before our drink order was taken. During dinner, I briefly left for the gaming floor while my wife stayed behind to finish eating. A few minutes later, my wife called me upset because staff members were accusing her of not paying for her meal. When I returned, there were several employees surrounding my wife in front of the entire dining room. The hostess stated she did not recognize me, and the waiter, who had already served us multiple times, initially failed to remember us as well. My wife attempted to show proof of payment on her phone, but it would not load due to network issues. The waiter had also already removed the receipt from our table. After I reminded the waiter of our drink order and details from our service, he finally remembered us and confirmed we had paid. By that point, however, my wife had already been publicly embarrassed while numerous guests watched the situation unfold. We understand mistakes can happen, but the way this situation was handled was extremely unprofessional and humiliating. We hope this matter is addressed so future guests are not treated similarly.
