This review is based on my frequent visits when they opened 1999-2000, this buffet is a bargain at 6 bucks, their nuggets are straight up mcdonalds nuggets, smuggle in some mcd's sauces and have a mcnugget contest on the cheap. read more

The food always tastes great! The staff take pride in being cleanly throughout the place. If you don't sit close to the food you could be forgotten so try to get a table where you are in view from the food. The grill is great too! Great prices for the variety of food. read more

you get what you pay for. the sushi, salmon and mushrooms are great unfried options. the fried stuff is hot and crispy. i dont eat red meat and didnt feel like im missing much by skipping it here, plenty of other stuff. the warm apple pie is good especially w their softserve. read more

Dinner buffet is majorly overpriced. I've been to Americanized all you can eat places, but the foot at those places was actually decent. I've never seen a buffet with food so bland. The crab tasted so little like anything, at that point imitation crab meat would have been better. I think I'll go to a buffet with food that actually has taste. This place is the bottom of the Chinese food bucket. read more

This is a horrible place to eat. We ate there last week, and we all had to go to the bathroom so many times after that. It is not hygienic.

I've never been more disappointed and dissatisfied in my life! The ONLY good thing about this place was the water i ordered. I have never written a review before in my life, yet alone before I even left the restaurant, but this was atrocious! Food was hard and flavorless, limited options, and the sushi was plain horrendous. I thought the hibachi grill would save the experience, but the chicken tasted like chitterlings and I couldn't even stomach it. Don't even waste your time or money here, so mad at my girlfriend for picking this place. Oh yeah, there would be no stars but apparently you have to at least give it one. SMH! read more

OK, so not the best food, but good. The food at the buffet was for the most part freshly made. The staff was very nice, friendly and fast. While not cheap, it is inexpensive for Renton. Yes, I woudl go back read more

food was better than normal , was also more busy than usual only problem was the food was too cold, I think they need to turn up warmer cause it was actually cold about 5 things.. maybe they need a heater on the top not just the bottom.. read more

I don't know what everyone elses problem is but my family loves this place. Yeah it's not 5 star but compared to the Chinese Buffet in White Center this place is awesome! Great choice of foods, has a mongolian grill, sushi bar, seafood, and american food for my picky kids. read more

I have to say that I used to love this place. I am an avid fan of food and I like to eat right and delicious every time. I used to be a client of King Buffet until last weekend. Their customer service and cleanliness just disappeared. They have right in front of the tables the disposal trays and just when you are happy and hungry coming back to your table with your plate full of food, you pass right aside of disgusting containers full of left-overs and that is so disgusting. The restrooms have New York walls-type-look with graffiti and stuff and the owners are not professional at all. They are dressed like if they were going to wash dishes at home and when they intent to welcome you at the cashier they look more than fake.The waiters are OK with uniforms but have stopped that friendly attention they used to have. The food is ok but Id rather eat with a good service and a clean place than this. read more

after not passing a health inspection since 2008, King Buffet was shut down by the health dept. for NUMEROUS repeat violations, including outbreak of food poisonings. Sadly it re-opened Dec 17th. If you have eaten there and notice health violations or get sick, IMMEDIATELY notify the health dept. I did and they shut it down. This place needs to go away... nasty. read more

I really like the buffet. I've been several times. But I'm a very picky eater. There is a big variety of food. All of the greasy or fried food I would never touch. And I'm a vegetarian, so that restricts my choices! But there were many good choices for me, because there are plenty of salads and fruit that I enjoy, and many hot dishes plus rice that seem tasty and healthy. So I would say this is a great place as long as you can discriminate between healthy and unhealthy food. read more

Food was Horrible... Prices are very expensive considering quality of food and seriously lacking variety... The whole place is very dingy and old along with a pungent moldy smell... Don't take My word for it... Besides for the Prices they charge You can do a lot better... read more

Went there yesterday and the food is pretty good quality for a buffet. My friend like the small lobsters. For me I like the little wings and hot and sour soup. Everything else is ok too but not great. Great service tho. So that a plus star. read more

Came in for dinner with my mother and we had the buttered pollock, some sushi, garlic bread and chicken wings. Aside from the grilled Mongolian, our food was cold. I was displeased about this. I did not have an appetite after I ate the cold garlic bread. read more

Best Buffet in Renton. Always fresh great food. I usually always go for lunch time. Most adorable.

Stop here for the lunch buffet, cheap and filling. I only eat some things on the menu. Mongolian grill is good.

I'm going to be honest, I waited a day before writing this review to make sure I didn't die. I'm happy to report I survived the night. When you walk in the place it looks clean enough and the food actually looks like you can enjoy it. I filled up a plate and decided to give it a shot. Every single dish was cold. Not slightly warm buffet food. Not sitting on a counter for a few minutes room temperature I'm talking sitting out since this morning with no heat source cold. Every bite felt like Russian Roulette but Russian Roulette where you don't find out of if you are going to die or not for 12 hours or so. I won't be back and can't recommend to anyone to eat here. Its not worth it. Think of the last time you were really sick and ask yourself "Do I want to pay for that privilege?". People come here because it is dirt cheap. $9 for lunch isn't worth a night of misery. This is one of those places that should have food inspectors here on a weekly basis. You have all been warned. Thank me later me you aren't spending the entire night sick. You're Welcome. And if you want Chinese Buffet food South Center is literally 5 minutes away and has one that won't put your life in danger. read more

This place is definitely very sketchy. The only reason why we were eating there was because mom's uncle apparently is a regular patron of this place and thinks it's more reasonably priced than the buffets nearby. I personally don't mind paying a little more when it comes to good food. This place was just gross. The seating area didn't seem all that well kept. Sure, there were a good amount of food options, but nothing tasted amazing. It just doesn't seem like much effort was put into the place and overall just seems lazy. For instance, they have these tiny stuffed crabs that look appealing. But you bite into it and it's dry and doesn't even taste like seafood. I think they stuffed it with minced meat. The heck... I think i was over this place even before trying the food. read more

It's a pretty small selection of food for a buffet, but their lunch prices are awesome. Quality isn't bad, but could be a little better.

I am not much a fan of buffets and this one is not especially memorable. The price for lunch is cheap but the selection and quality reflects the same. Stick with the basics like noodles, clams, veggies and you will be ok. Sushi is ok if you are starved. I'm sure that there are other better places than this for the price. Overall decent for the price and convenience but it is not some place that I would seek out to eat at. read more

I really tried to give this place another shot, but after seeing their meat isn't cooked all the way, and complaining to their racist staff - I won't be coming back here ever. I simply complained that their meat is undercooked and showing pink inside when it shouldn't be, and their teriyaki chicken is hard as a rock. It's sub-par food. I got so sick from eating here, I spent hours last night throwing up. The girl at the front had to translate to the owner everything I said and even still, I don't think she accurately translated my words of frustration and anger at undercooked food being served here. She even told me "well sir your the only one complaining here and everyone else is eating." I'm not everyone else am I? Let the sheep eat the disgusting food, but I demand my food to be cooked and to be digestible. The girl even made mention she's a vegetarian in a restaurant that serves meat. Wow that's got to be tough. She even at one point stopped me from talking to her by saying "I don't feel comfortable talking to you." Really? Because I'm making a complaint and paying for my food? If you don't feel comfortable talking to customers then quit and choose another job. You have to talk to customers, yes even those who complain. What a waste of my time and money. Stay far away from here folks. read more

Yes two please with a side of food poisoning. My bf and I have been here twice and I should have learned the first time. Today we were in the mood for Chinese and he suggested we eat here. I thought about the terrible stomach ache I got last time and then decided maybe it was something else cause I was starved. It was pretty busy and 5 dollars more for dinner although I'm not sure what the difference is because the same luke warm choices are available. I decided to try the grill and mixed up my own creation I put it on the counter and rang the bell the guy finally came and there was four other people waiting with me at this time. He fried my concoction and I was off. I started with the peppers and mushroom's first so far so good, but then I got to my noodles and beef they were overcooked some burnt. Well what. A disappointment. I picked through the good stuff and went on to fruit and dessert which turned out to be an epic fail. I don't think they ever clean the yogurt machine. It tastes gritty and the mandrin oranges tasted fomented. The only good thing about this place is every time I came back the plates were cleared and drinks refilled so that's a plus. But it doesn't make up for the terrible stomach aches and dry heaves my man and I endured tonight. Never again will I put my self through that. read more

Cheapest tasting food I have ever eaten. Sushi trays where empty for almost the entire time I was there on top of sushi being nasty. I accidentally took a piece of food from the dinner tray while we where there for lunch so we had a surprise extra $10 added to our bill. The bathrooms had toilet paper all over the ground. My four years old son even made the comment " I think somebody died in here". I was thinking the same thing. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I had a very bad experience in this restaurant . The food is not at all good and also when I asked to get it heated and refused. Never ever go to this restaurant. read more

Not the greatest atmospere. But its a buffet, So i could care less. I dont think all the food is great but its cheap.. and some of the food is pretty good.. When i go i eat crab almost exclusively.. If you like crab this is the spot. Its cheaper to eat a bunch of crab hear then to buy at the store. As far as chinese food, ive had better.. but i will continue to go here.. Cheap to feed kids too.. read more

We ate there on Sunday and it was very good. The service was really good and a lot of the food was good too. There was a lot of seafood varieties and they were all quite good. It was clean but not fancy (and even the restrooms were clean) which is always,and good sign. read more

This place is horrible, Let me make it very clear that the only reason they get one star is because you have to give a rating to review on yelp. so where to begin? All of the chicken was extremely over cooked, along with the fried rice (how does a Chinese buffet mess up fried rice?) I believe that when you have as little of a selection at a buffet as these guys did you should at least serve flavorful, properly cooked dishes. Now lets talk about the service, not one over their employees came to clear plates even though they looked over and saw that were were finished with them. They huddled around and gossiped the entire time i was there. I wasn't offered a refill on our drinks until we were almost finished with our meal. Once someone finally offered to refill our drinks, he very rudely informed me that my sons apple juice was non-refillable, so i asked him to dump out the last bit of apple juice and bring him some water. When he returned, you could clearly tell that he didn't dump anything out, he just topped it off with water, which wouldn't normally have been a problem for me except that the reason my son stopped drinking the apple juice in the first place is because there was stuff floating around in his cup. Needless to say at that point we set our utensils down and left. what an extreme waste of money going to this place is. If i was the owner i would close doors out of embarrassment. read more

I've been here since I was a child. Before Feast started up, this was the only buffet nearby. It used to be cheap for a buffet but recently the prices has increased. The food is not consistent so it really just depends on what day and what time you go. Sometimes food will run out and new food would take some time to come out. There is a variety of food though and is decent. read more

The hot and sour soap is the best compare to other buffets and the fried chickens are delicious, but the bathroom is really dirty

all the food was cold and rusty the crab was cold and to salty. I think they can improve more but the waiter was really good at taking our service so it was OK read more

Friendly staff. Food is goods for its price.. wouldn't pay more for it though. .

We arrived just after 9PM on Sunday. Closing time is 10PM. The grill closes at 9PM each night. There's no notice outside the restaurant. One finds out once going through the line to get food. The sushi bar was very limited, about 1/4 available. The food quality was average. Food selection overall was the slimmest of any buffets I've been to. Bus service was great. We were charged for tea without notice. I've been to plenty of buffets and this was the worst. read more

I signed up on Yelp just to review this place. One word describes this place..."AWFUL" Like other reviewers have stated, this place is dirty and the people are rude. I went there with my mom and brother despite my objections. The food was not only tasteless, but much of it was so downright nasty that i had to spit it out. Also, the food is so soaked with MSG that I was practically stuffed after 3 small bites. I ate on simply because I wanted to get my money's worth. Later on that night all three of us felt sick. In short, i will NEVER return this place. read more

It was a good chinese Buffet. Wasn't gormet but wasn't bad at all. Would recomend for a mid range chinese buffet.

Waste of your money! The food was horrible. I feel sick to my stomach and the bathrooms were nasty. Do yourself a favor and don't go eat at this place!!!!!! read more

I guess, this place gets 1 star for effort. The food here is soaked in grease. If grease is your thing then I would highly recommend this place to you. In my case, grease isn't for me. I guess, when you're paying 7.99 for a buffet place you can't expect much. Aside from the grease, there was a decent selection. read more

wow... Ask prices before sitting down... According to Yelp the Sunday afternoon price is 8.99 until 4 pm. NOT TRUE! Try 15.99 per adult and kids are charged 1 USD per year old so for two adults and three kids under 12 that will be 66 dollars.. Won't mind if the place wasn't a huge user of MSG... Be warned and enjoy... read more

This place is very Dirty. I don't know this people who gave a high rating for this Restaurant. All the utensils, food leftover, filthy tray are all visible to customers. And this area are just besides where all the Food are. I can't hardly eat when i saw those things. Stay away from this Buffet. But if you like dirty food and dirty place, this one is for you... read more

Their food is great! The only thing I am concerned about is the employees. They could be a bit more attentive but other than that, this place is definitely one of the best Asian buffets around! read more
