My tongue went numb eating the first dish so we immediately stopped and left. Good thing we did because my husband got violent food poisoning. Not sure how this place is open. The servers were nice, but the place needs a good scrubbing. read more

The customer service was great, but the food wasn't that warm and I was surprised that they didn't have labels above the food so you'll know what it is. What IF somebody was allergic to something, you know what I mean?. The chicken felt like it wasn't cooked enough. It's a nice place but they need to work on labeling the food and keeping everything nice, fresh and warm.. read more

This place is by far the worst buffet ever. I'm all for cheap food buffets but this was $16 and horrible. Soups were bad, rice was hard, even the cookies were nasty. The Pepsi tasted watered down. There's literally nothing good I could comment on the food. Don't do it! read more

We have eaten here often and this time does it. We will not go back again. The food was horrible and food was just slopped down. Floor was very dirty and mess everywhere. The service was terrible and was never even thanked. Now the kicker- it was $47 for two of us. Never again read more

This place is run by a bunch of Low Lifes with no business values for the customer. They advertise on tv that their lunch buffet is $12.99 ... but when we get the bill, it's $13.99. When we question it, they say they don't know anything about that. Last year, we went for lunch around 3pm (near end of Lunch hour). So after we're done they charge us the dinner price. We say we got there during Lunch and they say we finished by dinner hour ... huh? We ask for the manager and we explain the situation, he just walks away and disappears.... Low Life !! So, the food? The food is the same as before they upgraded in 2020. Yes, the place "looks" nicer after covid and they raised the prices ... but the food is the same (not the best chinese food). The food is not worth the higher prices. We will not go there again and everyone needs to be aware of how they run their business. Who knows what else they do to make an extra buck from the unsuspecting public .... LOW LIFE. read more

I went here with a friend a few months back. I won't be going back there again. The food didn't taste good to me. I wasn't going to write a review but, it keeps popping up on my feed. Nice workers just not good food in my opinion. read more

Me and my family have always grown to love King Buffet it a place I grew up with going regularly. It's a nice humble place where there's a lot of options of food and I mean A LOT there's even sushi. It's always fun to go with a group as it's a place you can get up and get what you want and sit down and have fun with you're family/friends. They have dessert, lunch and dinner it's pretty cool! They have meat and veggies. You can eat as much as you want 14.99 for lunch and 18.99 for dinner. Overall I have always loved this place and it makes me confused on why they get bad reviews :( read more

I enjoy going to Chinese Buffets. One of my pet peeves is when the label on the steam table doesn't match whats being offered. Well, there we NO labels. I would like to know what I'm eating. The tile floor around the drink island was very sticky. read more

Delicious food for the price, fantastic selection. The fresh Mongolian stir fry is the best! Lots of variety for everyone in the family. Seafood is quite good. read more

If you're trying to find a place that's cheap and okay food this is the place to go. I've been coming here ever since I was a kid, and pretty much most of my family love bringing the whole family here to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries...ect. But like I said in the begging it's a big okay. I reccomend going on the weekends for their seafood dinner. Crab legs and shrimp are my go to here. Very affordable especially being able to eat seafood here. I reccomend coming in big group because they have seating for days even if the place is packed, they still manage to get us seated right away. read more

King Buffet - Seafood buffet. - Chinese Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This buffet served nothing but old none eatable food! Didn't eat but 2 bites. Sat in my seat trying to convince myself to eat more being I was starving! But just couldn't. Asked politely if I could pay half price being the food was so old and was told because it had been 30 min sense I entered the door I had to pay full price. My friend couldn't eat hers as well! So $40 later for nothing but a few bites of old hard to chew food I'm praying I don't get food poisoning! DO NOT EAT AT KING'S BUFFET IN RENO NV! read more

Egg rolls seemed fresh and the king pao packs punch. However, cleanliness is definitely an issue. Somebody had thrown up next to the buffet line and staff was in no hurry to handle it. After an hour, it still there when we exited. read more

This place is NOT recommended! PERIOD!! We had a group of six. Very hungry consumers. First off: The food tastes like it was all cooked in the same wok. I noticed that all the pans in the help yourself line had NO description. Nothing! So, some of us were really raising an eyebrow because some of the dishes were unrecognizable, and we passed up several dishes, not knowing what it was. (Lazy, no description tags) This honestly should have been our first clue?, right. The atmosphere was upbeat, but very, very noisy. I was disappointed in the choice of dishes they had because everything looked like it had been sitting under the heat for a few days. But we were hungry. So we made the best of it. The tall, skinny bus boy who cleared our dishes came up to me as we were standing up getting ready to leave, and started asking me, where's the tape?, I asked what tape?. He said it over and over again until I finally realized what he was asking?...where's the tip?!!! Demanding to know where his tip was?!! My cousin stated out loud to him that it was put on the check. As we started to head towards the front door, he was following behind my cousin and rammed her in the butt with his cart!!! I couldn't believe he did this. We ignored him and continued up to the front counter to get the rice and noodles we ordered for a family member to bring home in a Styrofoam container. When I walked up to the hostess, I asked her about charging for an adult as she charged full price for my niece, who is very tiny and young. She corrected me and showed me on the check where we did receive the discounted price. I was not seeing it. OK, so all is good. I then asked where our to go boxes were? Then she turned and stormed off to the back kitchen area and came out a few minutes later and went completely around me and set the to go box on the wooden bench!!, Rude?? She originally told my cousin that she had a combo plate of rice and noodle that would be $9.95. But she then changed the order to 2 separate dishes and charged $ 19.??!!! So noodle and rice was more than the cost of 1 person buffet, which was around $17.??. At this point I was completely turned off by the service here. It gets better, though....as we were walking out, I commented that YELP, would definitely be hearing from me!! The hostess then,... FLIPPED ME THE BIRD, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL THE CUSTOMERS!!!!, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!!! Oh my!!... It was so comical, that all we could do was laugh!!! But in turn, one good finger deserves another, right?, so I returned the EAGLE finger back to her. This place is not worth the money. Save yourself disappointment and go somewhere they take pride in their food, business, and customer/ employee relations. I would never recommend this eating establishment unless it was the last standing place to eat. Even then...hmmmm??? read more

DONT DO IT!! Stay far far away from this place! Over priced food and really rude waiters! Food is not good! Panda Express is 10 times better then this place.. just poorly prepared and food literally taste bad.. The waiter grabs our utensils by the tip where it goes in our mouths like really??? And then slams it on the table! Honestly the food here is horrible and the price is ridiculous. And to top it off the waiters are rude. Point blank safe your money and your health. read more

I like their meat and sushi rolls for the price is a little bit pricey $12 a person to $15 on the weekdays for lunch but it's worth it

Rating : Zero stars The server in my area was not attentive at all . Had to personally refill my cup . And motion to the server to remove my plate. When it came time to pay I had my server full attention . Expected a tip . Also the food was not worth the price . From previous years they have reduced the selection of dishes . The crab legs and most sea food dishes were overcooked.. very disappointed with my visit and lack of customer service. read more

God only allows us just so many meals, don't waste any, that said this place is a wasted meal. Had lunch there the other day, all the buffet were cool at best, lacked any flavor, the server forgot my Wife's sweet & low carb twice and the cost for two of us $39.00!!!!! I will never go back to this joint again, I'd eat gas station food first. Avoid it and go buy a 3 day old hot dog at an mini mart, at least it will be warm. read more

Went in with a friend a few weeks ago to try something different for a change. The food was awful. Some things were cold that were supposed to be hot while some hot that were supposed to be cold. Other items were watery and gooey. Most items had no taste at all. I was afraid to even try the sushi. This place has really gone downhill since the virus. They may be trying to sell because the building has a for sale sign on it. The food also had way too much salt. I drank for hours after eating here. To make matters even worse, the server kept hanging around waiting for us to leave then when we were ready to leave and after getting the bill the server was no where around. So we went up to the cashier and the server ran up and told us we had to pay at the table. Ridiculous, don't have a cashier at the exit if diners can not pay there. We really had a bad attitude so we ignored him, paid at the register and walked out. No tipping that day. I tip well for good service, good atmosphere and good food. read more

Not that great. Most of it was pretty dry, the fried rice was dry and crunchy, instantly got food poisoning just a few hours later. After I threw it up, I felt 100% better right after. A friend wanted to me to go with her, so I did. Their cake bites taste blan, zebra cakes have a better quality taste. $19 total per person isn't worth it. Ate there at 5:30pm, threw it all up at 10pm. read more

My mom and I had lunch here yesterday after going to a craft fair. We used to eat here all the time, but we moved so it is no longer near our neighborhood. We thought we would give it a try and see if it was as good as we remembered. The restaurant was clean overall, but the carpeting near the tables definitely either needs replacing or a deep cleaning. The seat of the booth we were seated in needs to be reupholstered as it had a large tear in it. The buffet line; however, was clean as were the dishes. The food trays were filled and kept filled as people filled their plates. There was a large selection of popular Chinese dishes, sushi, and a salad section as well as two types of soup. The hot and sour soup was excellent with just the right amount of spiciness and served piping hot. I had a little bit of everything... mushrooms, sweet and sour chicken, a shrimp dish, beef and broccoli, fried rice. It was all very tasty. I also had a chicken skewer which was good, but just a tad dry. The Crab Rangoon used to be my favorite, but there was very little filling in these making them seem dry. The pot stickers were also excellent. My mom tried the sushi and said it was also good. The dessert selection seems to be store bought pastries and leaves a little to be desired. My mom had ice cream and said it was good. They serve Pepsi products if you have a preference. It was $45 for the two of us which I feel is a little high for the food quality, but the service was excellent. read more

Going back for the first time in years, was odd. Of course because of covid it's weird anyway but they managed to stay open as an actual buffet which was nice. My girlfriend and I arrived around 7 pm so it was a bit busy but not too bad. The buffet is currently not self serve so you walk up to the counters (or get in line) and a server behind the shield will help you put together your plate. This can make it difficult but it wasn't all that bad. The hibachi thingy is still up and running and the food there was excellent. Ultimatly it is on the cheaper side so it isn't the best food but everything was really good and the service was great read more

Terrible restaurant please don't spend your money here, there was fishing line in our food and the bananas were spoiled and tasted salty. I complained and still ended up paying 48$ the host then gave me 5$ and she asked me to delete the pictures WORST RESTAURANT EVER!!!! read more

First time deciding to out in Reno. Man did we mess up. The food was terrible, burnt and mooshy. My kiddos ate some dessert but not work 100.00 so we told them Me and my spouse did not eat but some bites and my kiddos only likes the bakery items. So when we were talking to the owner some lady came and said well since you don't like the food I'm going to take your plates, she snatched my kids food!!! Like wtf lady. Stay clear and go to McDonald's instead and we don't even like McDonald's but would have preferred it instead of here read more

Hello me and my husband decided to stop by for lunch. The service was good but there wasn't much variety to choose from and it was so nasty. My husband got food poisoning also. I don't recommend this place. read more

This poor rating began with the filthy sidewalk and faded doors at the entrance...pressure washing maybe? Inside we were seated by a friendly young gal and I noted the carpet was grungy and dropped food had not been cleaned up...just walked on. This being Sunday, although it was around 3pm, the place was pretty full. Food had a fish theme this day, I'm guessing that's the big draw. We've not eaten here since before COVID, but the food definitely wasn't as good. I didn't even bother with 'seconds'. Overall, I was the thinking if the dining area was this dirty, what must the kitchen look like??? It'll be another long time before we come here again. read more

Food nasty dessert was dry and old looked like it had been sitting up there since they opened and the service was very rude I will never recommend this place even to people I don't like it's that bad read more

The service was slow the food was dry I was told how much to tip they pointed and talked in a different language when my son was trying to get his food they asked my wife's questions and then walked away and mind the food even though they are cheaper I highly not to recommend to go to this place eat fast food before you come here read more

Not worth the price food was old with minimal selection. It is said you get what you pay for but you don't even get that

"As Good as it gets!" Perfectly said by Yelp. We give King Buffet 5 Stars! Absolutely Delicious from The Baby Clams in their buttery broth sauce, the Salmon (a full size Salmon) just waiting to be scooped up and the Giant Size Crab Legs, all as fresh as can be----those were our favorites. It was Thursday evening and the cost, $11.99 for each of us plus a $2 off coupon. Wow! I don't know how they do it. So Delicious and so Healthy. We had another coupon in the mail that's even better, for to go orders, see below. What a treat. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining-in experience with the friendly helpful staff, always replenishing the buffet food trays. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately as we came in. What a lovely experience, from start to finish. Thank you! King Buffet. Can't wait to return. read more

Always something new to try here . Staff is very friendly. The food is fresh and obviously prepared with care .

Haven't been here in a long time, probably 3 or more years. Really used to like the food until I was eating and seen a cockroach crawling up the wall. Reported it to the staff. They didn't care & still had to pay full price. Never have been back since, will never be back read more

Horrible tasting food!! But the costumer service was the worst!! After not being polite they still have the never to ask for a tip and asked me shouting why I didn't leave them a tip!!! I think there food made me sick. My stomach started to hurt really bad about 15 min after I started to eat. And I have the run and vomiting about 30 min after read more

I'm only giving this one star because I have to or it would be zero stars. By far the worst service and food I have had in Reno in a long time. Pot stickers and egg rolls were raw. Everything we tried was either cooked to dead or under cooked. I would not recommend going to this place if it was the only place in town for Chinese food. Do your self a favor and save your 45 bucks for two to eat. read more

Should be a zero stars option... I've heard TERRIBLE things about this place as it is... but then I saw this, not my post, but worth sharing so no one else has to go through this... DISGUSTING read more

Food was not fresh, there were many employees, but they weren't helpful or friendly. We didn't get any service while we were here and were charged a Service Fee which isn't disclosed anywhere in the restaurant. Also, if you stay after 3:30pm then you will be charged dinner prices. There wasn't much variety of food and it wasn't very good either. read more
