This place was so full around lunch and you can tell why. The food is all very fresh and good. My favorites were the coconut shrimp and Hong Kong chicken. I struggled with the sushi bar it had trays for 6 varieties and only three had offerings and those were plain tuna roll, plain salmon roll or cucumber and cream cheese. And while the food was amazing, the staff bussing and refilling drinks were few and far between, we had to flag someone down for refills multiple times. However, for a quick, hot and flavorful lunch this is a solid buffet! read more

Food was awesome service is always the best you can find, and it always has some music playing giving an authentic experience.

We were driving by and needed a place we can get a quick meal but don't really want fast food chains, and this is perfect. Large selection of food and no wait to be seated. We were in and out with full bellies. Reasonably priced too. read more

Noel and I stopped at King's China Buffet for lunch on our way to the garage to get my baby out. I love my car! It's older, nothing special but I love it. We were greeted and seated immediately and literally dove into the buffet of chicken goodness! I tried to get a smig of everything and I was definitely not disappointed Our waitress was very attentive with refilling our drinks. Definitely recommend and definitely going back. Not one complaint except maybe parking lot to little and narrow. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious! The service is good, but I find the waitresses to be bossy, impatient, and rude. read more

Been coming here since I was a child it's so good here yes it does get busy but I don't blame the people who eat here it's amazing.

The food has went down hill.. it used to be better. Everything tasted old and it was lunchtime .. the green beans were wrinkled up I think they were leftovers .. I can go across the bridge and get much better Chinese read more

The waitress only brought us 2 refills of water each but that's not my complaint. My complaint is that when we went to pay for the food, i reach in my wallet to give a tip. I tried giving her all the ones i had which added up to around 10 dollars and i was laughed at and stared at for around 10 seconds until i wrote in a higher tip from my card and then we were left alone and told thank you. I have never had an experience like that in any restaurant, especially a buffet where the waitresses only have to bring drink refills. I will never return after being laughed at, belittled, and unappreciated by someone for trying to give them money. read more

I went to China King Buffet at the River Walk Mall once when it first opened back in 2020 and I wasn't too impressed. After three years, I decided to try it again for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. The sushi rolls were big and filled with a ton of meat. The stuffed mushrooms were way larger than the China Buffet's in Kanawha City. The coconut shrimp really hit the spot. I could make a meal on it alone. I'm pretty sure their lunch buffet is one of the cheapest around at $11.29 plus tax. The only thing that wasn't quite as good, in my opinion, was that mayonnaisey broccoli stuff. It had a sour taste. So, the KC China Buffet still reigns supreme on it...whatever it is called, lol. Broccoli salad? read more

Best Chinese restaurant around really great food and great waiters be going here for a while wonderful service

Wanted to try this place since it is closer than China Buffet in Kanawha city. Ordered buffet takeout and it was absolutely delicious! The black pepper chicken, coconut shrimp, green beans, rice noodles, low mein, and salt & pepper shrimp are so tasty. I got enough for dinner plus lunch the next day for about $11...not a bad deal in this economy. The place is very clean and staff friendly. read more

China King Buffet - Food - Chinese Near Me - South Charleston, West Virginia

Service was fine and the place seemed fairly clean. I had significantly higher hopes considering the joint was packed with customers. The buffet options were pretty typical and I would have given a much higher rating if the steam tables were functioning properly. Pretty much every hot item I tried was not hot at all. read more

every time I went here it was pleasant staff was great food was awesome the interior was very nice overall, some of the best Chinese food I've had read more

the workers are friendly. food never tastes old. and it's over all very clean .i like this buffet more than the others

service was horrible had to clean my own plates , when my husband moved our daughters plates they yelled at him and then followed us to the door yelling at us for a tip read more

I totally recommend this place. We planned on Bob Evans for dinner but decided we wanted something different for a change. I've only been here one other time for a to go order of their crab wontons. I was so excited to get to check out the full Buffay. It's not fancy it's definitely a little local place but I was not disappointed. read more

While making my buffet to go order an employee going by the name of Jenny decided it was her job to dump my sauces out and tell me off. Back into the buffet serving, mind you. I hope you all enjoy the backwash they subjected you to. This was my favorite place before tonight. read more

Took my food when I wasn't done eating. Was being very rude and staring at me and my friends and was making use very uncomfortable. My friend even told them not to take my food from the table. They still insisted on taking my food off the table. And was trying too take my friends sushi. As well as my husbands fork to eat with very unpleasant. - Hillbillies read more

Crispy, fresh, and perfectly prepared Crab Rangoon: Very yummy. We also ordered General Tsao's and Shrimp Lo Mein. Both were standard Chinese takeout, but nonetheless satisfying. We like Lo Mein a little more smoky than what China King offers, but that's the only minor complaint. Ordering through the app (Yelp, with ordering via GrubHub) was very easy and the restaurant was very prompt with receiving and prepping the order for pickup. The employees were friendly when handing off the takeout as well. Painless ordering, easy pickup, friendly staff, delicious food, and no dinner prep. Would recommend. read more

BE AWARE!!!! They charge you for dinner Buffet prices when you try to get a lunch buffet to go. On their own website, lunch Buffet show that it is 4.59 and they charge 5.99. Check your receipts! For a 2 pound Buffet to go, that's three extra dollars that they are getting out of you! When I got my Buffet to go, the pepper chicken tasted like it had a cleaning chemical mixed in with it, and that was half of my to go box. read more

My son went into the restaurant tonight with his service dog. The dog is clearly vested and well trained. The staff immediately began to speak in Chinese to one another to decide where to seat our family instead of just seating us like everyone else. They said they were worried about the other customers. From what? We have visited every other restaurant in Charleston with no problem. They sat us in the furthest corner and told us to put his dog against the wall. I tried to explain to them that they wouldn't tell a person in a wheelchair to put their wheelchair in the corner. They did not understand or care. We should have been treated like any other family, dog or not. Other customers were upset and left, too. One last asked if she needed to "throw hands." We left and will never go back. read more

They took our plates when we wasn't finished with our food, they kept looking at us while speaking there own language. Food was great but service was terrible!! read more

First time ordering from here.. food was hot, fresh, and so good! The restaurant looked clean and modern. Will definitely return!

I found this little jewel of a Chinese restaurant tucked into a corner at Riverwalk Mall in South Charleston while visiting my mother from out of state. The facility was well appointed, very clean, the staff was very polite and the food was excellent! Will definitely enjoy their cuisine next time I am in the area. read more

the food was cold, the crab ragoons were sour and really small, the rice was gritty and when I got my plate I tried everything and didn't eat anything because it was cold and gross, it tasted old. When we tried talking to the manager about how I didn't eat anything on my plate she said "you still got it Out of the buffet so you have to pay for it" plus the other girl was yelling something in Chinese .. anyways If you are looking for a better service and food in south Charleston main Tin is way better and nicer read more

The food was typical Chinese buffet food. The taste was good but they need to up the temperature on their steam tables. The food was mostly Luke warm to cold. The best item was the barbecue spare ribs. read more
