We were at Bend downtown looking for restaurants after July 4th weekend. There was absolutely nothing available. We were a party of 12 with 5 kids. The kids were getting hungry and restless and we really weren't sure what to do. I decided to look for Chinese place. We all decided to take a chance and try this place out. As most of us were vegetarians, we didn't do buffet and just ordered aka carte. The server who helped us was so nice and helpful. She suggested on portion size and stopped us from over ordering. She suggested ordering more if it wasn't adequate. All of us loved the food and kids wanted to go back to that place on other days when we suggested eating out. Definitely would recommend this place though I didn't eat the usual read more

I am spoiled living in the Seattle Metro area having solid high level Chinese food available. This is unfortunately not up to par. I'm not comparing it to Vancouver/ Richmond BC levels but the quality is low and really unacceptable. read more

My wife and I ate here a couple of years ago. The food was just ok, some was not so good. It tasted as if was left over, not fresh made. Service, self service. Ambience, needs to be updated. read more

Limited selection.the shrimp were very small and mushy,terrible orange chicken.nothing is hot or fresh.very worn out booths.food tastes off.stay away read more

King Buffet keeps trying! For about the same price as a combo meal at McDs, you can fill up with a wide variety Chinese food at lunch or dinner. Lots of tasty veggies, noodles and chicken choices. Also some dim sum and sushi for good measure. Hot and sour or egg drop soup and an entire line of fresh cut fruit and desert choices. As with most buffets, in order to keep the food hot, it also sits a while a suffers a little. If you're a Chinese gourmet, pass by, otherwise it's good enough for Most of us. read more

Hot, fresh food and lots of it. Don't expect atmosphere, you don't need it. The staff was friendly and the price is right!

This place COULD be good, but they need to focus on the details. Specifically, I ordered Salt & Pepper shrimp, and it arrived with the shrimp not deveined. This is lazy and a lack of detail. The sesame chicken was advertised as crispy, but arrived soggy and chewy. The sweet and sour chicken and pork fried rice were meh, but not enough to pull a 3 star review. Sadly, the salt and pepper shrimp went straight into the trash. read more

King Buffet - H5. Salt and Pepper Shrimp that needs to be deveined. - Chinese Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I've eaten here about twice monthly since moving back to Bend September, 2023. Totally satisfied, look forward to unlimited future visits. FYI I'm a retired guy who loves traveling around the US generally and West of the Rockies in particular. Love Chinese buffets, have eaten at 100+ all prices and qualities. So I have a small clue about what to expect. Bend's King Buffet is an excellent example of a less fancy, less expensive restaurant. They serve a couple dozen typical items, no surprises. Lunch menu (until 2:00pm?) is a little more limited; dinner is a few dollars more and has more seafood. In my 70+ meals here I've never had a bad or cold dish, never had hair in my food, never seen rats or insects, never been poorly treated, never gotten sick, never have any of the problems insecure idiots and bigots often rant about when discussing Chinese buffets, trying to prove how cool they are. Maybe I'm just normal. No, its not quite as an expensive, high-quality, made to order Chinese restaurant. No it's not a 200 item Vegas buffet - no sweet and sour lobster, no sugar-dusted hummingbird wings. Many working people and families eat here and apparently enjoy it. I love good truckstop food and I - with the best intentions - compare King Buffet to a good quality truckstop restaurant. Lots of good, tasty, simple but good-quality food at a very reasonable price. For its price, variety and quality I give it five stars. Why don't you try it yourself, make up your own mind? read more

Food is tasty and for the price is very good what you get. I wish they had maybe more variety but for what they have it tastes good and so far Clean place. And customer service is very good. read more

Very sad. I have to feel sorry for the people that own and work at this restaurant. We went there for dinner at 5pm or so and there was only one other customer there. The price ($15-16) was okay but the food selection was awful. Every thing was dried out, overcooked, and very unappetizing. We left without ordering. read more

I should have read the reviews first but we were starving and ordered at the King Buffet which came up first when we searched for Chinese food. Chicken was like rubber I had mild food poisoning symptoms and overall even though we ordered take out I think they just took it from the buffet which had been sitting forever. Do not go here. read more

Food was mediocre and cold. Biggest issue I saw was cleanliness. We spotted more than one hair in the icecream. Service was fine. read more

This place was absolutely disgusting food was about the same as pulling it out of a dumpster in the back. And dirty .... Good lord. The kids were so excited about a buffet it was hard to just up and walk away but they ate som French fries and orange chicken then paid for it later... The people.... wellllll we will just say I kept a more close of an eye on my kids then normal. Staff was ok but I really don't see how you can be a bad service provider at a buffet. One excellent take away was it was hands down the best fountain Coke a cola I've had in 30 years. Mix was PERFECT. However I'd say I would be surprised to see this place remain open a whole lot longer. read more

I really like this place. I order delivery from them on the regular. Portions are good, and the food is tasty! I like their sweet and sour chicken, chicken low mein, and donuts! They have never forgotten a sauce and their deliveries never take too long! read more

Mediocre food, poor service and minimal cleanliness. At least they're friendly and there's ice cream for dessert.

Not very good food was cold & food was very chewy from setting out for hours I was afraid to eat it this is not safe to eat you guys need to check your food temp. & Get it fixed before someone gets food poisoning worst buffet I ever been read more

I was in bend today for some personal errands, and I'd never really been past Detroit, so not only was I in an unknown city, I was also hungry and decided to stop here with my family. It was getting late and this is the place we decided to stop at. We LOVE Chinese buffets, so we figured why not. Upon entering the establishment, I was disappointed at their display of food, it looked unappetizing and dull in color as well, (yuck!), not only that but there was nobody else in the place at all! That and the initial rating from the map should of have stopped me but I was positive and wanted to give it a try. But boy was I wrong for that one. Drinks where practically water, the food was absolutely disgusting, the chow mein was chewy, the teriyaki chicken had parts of the skin on and while usually I don't mind, it was rubbery. The salmon was so dry, good lord! I only ended up having that one plate, and leaving. Never will I be returning to this restaurant. I am now home, and on my toilet feeling like a sick dog. Please, anyone who thinks of stepping foot in this place....DONT DO IT! Eat literally anywhere else, it's not worth it! read more

I was looking for Chinese food to celebrate my late grandma's birthday as it was something we frequently ate together. I didn't have the buffet but placed an order online for shrimp egg foo young, shrimp egg rolls, hot and sour soup and a veggie/rice dish. It was easy to order online, and my order was done in about 10 minutes. The woman at the cash register was friendly, asking if I needed chopsticks and giving me lots of extra sauce packets. Everything was still quite hot by the time I got home. Sauces for dishes were packaged separately so nothing got soggy. Portions are large and everything was good. I will go back again for takeout to try some other dishes. read more

King Buffet - Hot and sour soup, shrimp egg foo young, egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Bend, Oregon

The food, the Ambiance and service was outstanding. I have tried just about everything on the menu and I crave the Pho.

Great selection and fresh and hot entrees will totally go back the service was terrific and they were always cleaning. I like that

The food was just okay. Some of the hot items weren't hot, but the variety was good. Servers were very friendly and moved quickly to get what we needed. The website indicated the restaurant had been updated, but I didn't see a difference since the last time I was there. read more

For around $10 it's a great place to stop by on a road trip. Good variety and it has been different time. But what they do have tastes good. Especially for the price. Spacious booths or well separated tables its comfortable either way. Servers are friendly and attentive. Forks are given by default and thats great for the clientele in the area. read more

King Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Always delicious! One of my favorites! I think more people should give this place a chance and plus for the price they are very on point! I actually prefer them over most Chinese restaurants in town. read more

Ive eaten here twice. Once when i was a child, and my brother violently vomited afterwards in the parking lot. Once as an adult, and I violently vomited on the highway on my trip home. Tread lightly, warriors. For your King may poison thee. read more

We got take our takeout from here thinking it was the restaurant down the street (which had closed). The staff is friendly but the food is cafeteria grade. There are options that are not Asian like cup cakes. I would agree with other reviews about cleanliness. I will eat a sandwich at home next time. Few choices & better quality & cleanliness will go a long way for their survival. read more

I really liked everything, the food is tasty and fresh, the staff is friendly and kind, the prices are quite good, I will definitely come again, read more

This place is great! Amazing service and friendly staff. The food is really good and if you're eating from the buffet and something isn't fresh they'll make a new batch just for you! You can also do take out box from the buffet if you don't want to order a lunch or dinner combo from menu. Definitely my new favorite Chinese food spot - only place in town with tasty lo mien. read more

The food is great I really enjoyed it; however definitely needs a cleaning around the tables and floors. Where the food is located it's clean but the tables, booth, and floor need to be cleaned/ repaired read more

I cautiously met my cousin here for lunch yesterday. After the reviews I was u,sure of recommending we meet here but he loves Chinese food and a bargain. Good choice! The atmosphere is nice, friendly people, lots of customers but not loud or over crowded. Our favorites that we back for seconds on...the salmon, salt and pepper shrimp, lo mein, sushi, spicy chicken and shrimp, and desserts. I will return here when my next lo mein and spicy chicken and shrimp craving hits. read more

Just ordered a meal through DoorDash and the food was soo good! It came pretty hot to my house, and they even threw in a free bag of donuts. Ample serving size and the flavor was great. I ordered the sesame chicken and lo mein absolutely pleased and will return! read more

While waiting for an oil change, we decided to try this place next door. What do you expect when you pay $8.99 for a buffet consisting of 50 to 60 dishes? Yikes! Well, I got some noodles a spring roll, a vegetable stir fry a dumpling and a stuffed shrimp. I was able to eat the spring roll and the noodles thanks to soy sauce. Nothing had any flavor at all and everything was cold. This place would be smart to have about 10 delicious dishes instead of 60 disgusting dishes. I'm giving a star to the nice guy who brought our drinks. I give the food no stars. read more

This buffet is a remote Chinese Buffet. The food quality and variety was questionable, but the price was right. Good: Orange Chicken. I've never seen a Chinese restaurant mess this one up. Fried rice. There's no way to mess this up. Cheese Mussels, but very cheesy. The chicken kabob thing was good Fried Green beans. Mmm, I love fried green beans. Lychee was good, I love canned Lychee. The ice cream was surprisingly good. Tubs of ice cream of a few flavors is offered. Only problem was logistically scooping the ice cream, because the tubs moved. Washing the spoon was also a pain.. The Bad: I feared for my life with the sushi. The chow mein was chewy and starchier than I expected. These are the ones that stood out. For the most part, the food was alright, but I might take my money to Arby's or another fast-food establishment next time. read more

Just went here for dinner and nothing new was added for dinner. The dishes was the same as lunch but paid dinner price. Please do not go here! Food is NASTY and COLD! After eating, we drove to McDonald's across the street to get a burger. That's how nasty the food is. read more

This place is always good, My family usually come here for lunch buffet with the decent price for great tasting quality food. The service is good, too. read more

I was impressed for a buffet. Lots to choose from. Very friendly staff, helpful, and courteous. The decor is about 30 years outdated but nice. They obviously cater to the white American as you are handed a fork and knife, and when asked for chopsticks I got wooden ones. Again good buffet but whitewashed for the area it's in. read more

This was awful! We got there at 11:50am every single food was either lukewarm or cold warming tables were barely warm about baby bath temp. When I spoke to person she didn't even check temp she stirred it and offered to micro wave it! If I wanted microwave shit I would have stayed home! read more

Terrible availability of food, terrible quality of food, terrible responsiveness of staff to delinquency of available entrees and quantities. There must have been 15-20 patrons, 5 wait staff and nothing was clicking. All they had were 2-3 chicken entrees with rice and noodles. Better off spending 10-12 dollars at Panda Express. This place is the worst place to eat. I don't know what the other patrons who gave em 4-5 stars were used to beating grated as. This place shouldn't be in business. In Portland they would be bankrupt. Terrible. Will never come to this place ever. Take it from me, don't go. There is a burger joint near this place, still better going there. read more

This place was absolute trash, they over charged me for dry food, my noodles were over cooked, all the rest of my room was oily asf, the watermelon was drier than my boy pacasso future. read more

Went here for their lunch buffet and really enjoyed it. No -- this is NOT gourmet Chinese cuisine. But the selection was good, the food was hot and tasty, the dining area was clean, wait staff cleared dirty plates quickly and the price was excellent. read more

Went here last night. Maybe it was not the freshest time for food to be out. Food was not fresh. It tasted so gross. I am sorry. I have been here at other times and it was ok. I just was not impressed. I took a few bites and was ready to leave. Not worth the 15.00 per person price. The selection was so slim. Nice people and hard working ladies. But sorry, avoid this if possible. On a good note, Egg flower soup was good. read more
