As someone who has been coming here for a good while. I could never complain the most about the service or about the food in general. Here recently prices, food quality, and service has changed. I have noticed that per group and amount you pay is widely different even if it is just two adults. I asked a very sweet woman before I came in how much she payed and it's was around 43+. And it was just her and her young daughter. I payed 45 for 2 adults. The food quality is slightly different based on the times you come in to eat. Which has slowly started catching my attention more and more. The service here is good. Always has been for me each time I come in. Refills, questions, and all the things you expect to get. I have never been treated rudely either or like I am different from other quests, but I have heard with a couple of my friends that they are treated differently. Which isn't good at all for keeping business. When you walk in the place is how it always looks. To me it hasn't seemed to change except a couple of the neon lights not being on. The only problem I would say I have or a couple of comments I have over heard is the trash is overfilled and not taken out responsibly. To conclude what I am stating. Do not come here if you are looking to spend differently each time you come in. Come here if you do not care about that, in all seriousness after today I will not be eating here. Based upon the conversations I have over-heard and the business itself. read more

King Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Always a good San Angelo stop. The food is always good, hot, and fresh. The drinks stay filled. The servers are ready to help. Nice and clean inside. If you are looking for a higher end, typical Chinese buffet--this is it! Worth the drive over to it from the main road through town. read more

The restaurant was clean overall along with the silverware. The service was well. The food was okay... nothing great, but I wouldn't say it was terrible. $75 for 4 people. read more

Really good food selection. Fresh food or at least hot. Nice lighting and decorations. Servers are super sweet and helpful. The only qualm I have is it's awkwardly quiet. No music just humming of the ice machine or the kitchen cooking. read more

King Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Very good buffet. Salmon is usually very good. A nice variety and sushi is worth the time. They treat seniors very well.

If you're looking for crab legs, pass King Buffet. They don't have them and they're nothing compared to King Buffet in San Antonio. So far the only place I can find crab legs is Chang Thai. They never add anything new. Their banana pudding is not real; no bananas or vanilla wafers. And the jello can bounce off the floor. Their service is normally good. read more

Hey just a heads up Kings Buffet is horrible. My family went there to eat and the sever was forcing my husband to pay while we were still eating. After the meal my husband went to pay. The buffet lets you pay after you are done with the meal. While we were leaving one of host thought my husband didn't pay! Bad service! Zero stars! read more

Yeah finally got decent furniture. Much nicer eating there. Food is good and they are keeping windows much cleaner. Glad to have nice china buffet back. read more

Dirty! Dirty windows, dirty glass dividers. If they can't keep that clean, what else is gross. Some of the food was cold making it ripe for bacterial growth. And styrofoam plates? Really? I'll never go there again. read more

Service is ok. Really at a buffet how much do you really need a server? Be careful what time of day you come here. We were there late afternoon yesterday. I at 2 pieces of California roll and immediately started throwing up. Obviously it had been sitting out too long and wasn't kept at a safe temperature. I did manage to make it to the restroom before I started spewing. I won't go back to this restaurant because of my experience from yesterday. read more

0 stars...the food is gross. Probably the worst Asian buffet we have ever been too. The service was slow. Don't waste your money.

Honestly I've been here a few times and every time I go it's a good experience normally if it's good I leave 3 stars like average but here I will say if you go in around 11:30- noon 5 stars great service great food all fresh but I did go recently around 3 and it was good but not as good as it is durring the earlier hours read more

No longer a good place to eat. I didn't finish my meal and left hungry because the quality of their food had declined so much it was inedible. Over cooked, dried out, burnt, bad flavor or poor flavor, rice tasted Old. Fried fish was rubbery. The only good thing on buffet were the green beans! I actually spit out food into napkins instead of eating it. We paid and left. Won't be returning. Thanks, I hated it. read more

Was seated at a table that was filthy and after pointing it out to the employees they didn't want to do anything about it. Food was ok though read more

Not a bad Chinese food choice by an out of towner. Had to pass the Fabuloso smelling entryway to get to the good stuff. Guess someone was trying to mask musty odors. The dining room smelled like good food waiting to be eaten. The buffet line was packed with food minus my favorite boiled shrimp on ice. Every item I tried tasted as expected except the Teriyaki Chicken on a skewer that had way too much Chinese 5 spice on it for me. Hard to find duck sauce on the line and ice cream in case tasted like ice milk. Some ice cream had no flavor at all. Big let down. I really liked the prompt customer care. Watching locals ( some wearing their city uniforms ) coming in for lunch. Friendly, professional and quite efficient staff and the art display in the center of the restaurant looked spectacular. I did not like that there was no Muzak playing in the background. Maybe some Chinese music playing softly in the background would help liven things up a bit. Overall enjoyed the food. Appreciated the prices and left feeling well fed. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! It was nice and quiet... it was very organized and kept very clean. Great food, nice people, and friendly! I would definitely come back here! read more

Very good food! Also love that they use foam plates. Yes it's more trash but with that's going on these days it's safer

Just don't do it! Go to the airport for Chinese. This place my family loves. My first time trying it thoughts as they are digging in is are we eating the same food because mine taste horrible. I've lost trust in their cuisine judgement. Geez Louise it was bad. It took me two bites but I pinpointed why my sweet and sour sauce tasted familiar in a icky way. It taste like lipstick. How does that even happen? My lo mien noodles were over cooked and it just continues a horrible review of items I tried from there. My kid wanted the pizza which I am very familiar with as a cheap dollar pizza from the grocery stores. The best part was the ice cream and the exit. 9.99 for adults read more

I was stationed at Goodfellow AFB from 2012-2015 and this was one of my favorite places to eat in San Angelo! Their food is healthy and fresh. Two of my favorites were: salmon and cheese/spinach casserole. The price was fair and you could eat as much (or as little) as you pleased. I would eat there several times a week and sometimes we'd all take a break for a long unch and enjoy the great buffet, nice environment, and friendly staff. Very highly recommended! read more

What can I say, this place has great food for a very affordable price. So, with that said, it was THA BOMB!!! LOL! I've never had a bad experience here, and my friends seemed to enjoyed the food as well because we all kept on returning. Service was just okay, a lot of the servers doesn't speak fluent English so try to be patient with them :) read more

King Buffet - Salt and pepper shrimp. Yum-oh!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Our first Asian restaurant since moving to San Angelo this June. I chose a Buffett since there is usually stuff to please everyone :-) I was excited to see their big selection of sushi and sushimi. So I mostly ate that and some fried shrimp all of it was pretty yummy. I wasn't "wowed" by the place, but it was good overall. read more

They had a good variety of food and sushi, even though we went there on lunch time. Friendly staff, and nice place. The food was delicious.

For an all-you-can eat buffet that features Japanese and Chinese food, I would have to say this place is AWESOME! I love the variety of food, especially the sushi. This place is a great value with a great selection! I highly recommend it! read more

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes, lots to choose from. There are several good chicken dishes including fried and grilled options. I particularly liked the garlic fried chicken wings. Good flavor and since it's all you can eat, a pretty sweet deal on wimgs. $7.99 for Saturday buffet, not bad. The water is also filtered, which makes a difference in San Angelo, where the unfiltered water can bite you back. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. I'll be back. read more

King Buffet - Yes you will - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

The bulk of these reviews were from a few years ago. Based on that (and being stubborn) we still went. Turns out, bad reviews are timeless. I won't be completely negative about this experience, so here is a list of the good things. Ice cream. ....that's all. Granted, when you walk in, you might be impressed by the layout. A lot of seating, fairly spaced out, koi pond in the middle (because, that's why you come to a buffet, look at the fish and oversized buddhas. ) and it doesn't smell bad. Military/seniors discount, and for $8.99, in theory, that's a great deal. Standard buffet/restaurant trick. Drinks? Sure, I'd love a $1.79 soda/pop/coke (to make all regions happy) that will be offered for refill once. ....two minutes before the check is delivered. On to the food... 'Sushi', mogolian grill, cold food bar, three main dish (term used loosely) bars, dessert, kid food, and ice cream (tasty ice cream). Sushi- first off, if you're going to a buffet because you're having a sushi craving, you're either a moron, have never actually had sushi, or both. Dry/stale rice, more less flavorless and the salad bar salad dressing tub of wasabi looked more like green mayo (also.... zero flavor) It kind of looked like the sushi was under heat lamps, but it was only warm, not hot.. my mistake. Mmm, warm sushi, almost as good as hot beer. Salad/cold dishes- well... room temperature isn't technically hot, but crab salad shouldn't be warm. Impressive jello selection though. I think there were 5 flavors? and entire side of the bar. Love that chinese buffet jello. Again, koi pond and jello. Lifeblood of any good buffet. Main dishes- unlike the cold dishes, these were actually cold. Wait... that's also a bad thing. Damn. Egg rolls- dry, and flavorless. Rice- dry and stale. Noodles- dry, cold, and stale. Mozzerella sticks- cold and rubbery. Kind of like biting into the sole of a shoe. (nothing with flavor yet). Pot stickers- possibly had extra greese dumped on top. still not hot. Fried fish- cold. Shrimp- cold. (maybe they meant to put it on the salad bar. You should get the point by now.... Strangely enough, reaching for the tongs of most of the dishes you could potentially be burned by the steam. Of course, by the time you get back to your chair, that sensation is gone and you'll realize the food is cold. Kid food- really? pizza on a chinese buffet? Gimmie. That looks like Totinos. It is Totinos, but tastes like what I imagine it would if you didn't actually cook it and just let the pizza thaw, then dry out, and then serve. At this point of the meal I remembered the mongolian grill and convinced myself that there was no chance it could be bad as well. Your options include different meats, broccoli, onions, rice/noodles, and baby corn (the stupid ingredient at many buffets). Sauces were (assumption, since they weren't labeled) garlic, oily red spicy, and oilier red spicy. Based off of the food temp of everything else, I opted for beef since that seemed to be the safest of room temperature meats. chop chop, grill grill, why do you keep spraying water on there? grill grill, more water? chop chop, hey... no shit? you're talking on the phone while cooking? sweet gig for you mr chef guy. Oh good, more water sprayed on. Plate it, and done. HOLY SHIT this plate is hot! Perhaps this will be delicious? nope. bland. ....but at least it was hot. Sad and depressed over this awful experience and failure to listen to the advice of the naysayer (more trusting of yelp that I. Naysayer 1, me 0 ) I turn to the ice cream. YAY, ICE CREAM!!!! It was good. 8 flavors and they actually had flavor. Win. As was pointed out to me, there is not such thing as a non-shitty buffet for $9. I still disagree with that, but it's completely accurate for Asian Buffet. I would recommend going here if you're constipated. For that... effective. Other than that? Nope. One other positive. The quarter toy vending machine things. The love donut. I will assume it's meant for the keys of a person that enjoys donuts. This was the best use of my cash here. So, if you want a donut keychain. hit them up as well. read more

King Buffet - The love donut keychain. $0.50 and possibly the best thing here. Alright, second best. The ice cream wasn't bad. - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

They get one star for the awesome koi pond that my son was obsessed with. My first hint that this isn't a very good place/authentic at all, is when I ran into an employee at walmart buying every single Totino's party pizza that was in the freezer. Sure enough ,that's what was on the buffet line! The food was gross at best, it was served tepid-warm, everything had cheddar cheese sprinkled on top and it was just... it was just weird. Not Chinese food at all. It's as if someone came up with the brilliant idea to buy all the stouffers family meals and other freezer meals, and put them on a buffet line. The mongolian grill is pathetic and the food from it wasn't good at all, way over-seasoned. I considered giving it a little extra for playing the soundtrack to Glee (volume 1) and the ice cream, but I don't know if that's just because they had no other option or better idea. Not good, won't be back, won't recommend it. read more

First off I'd like to comment on the decor l which keeps getting bashed. It's an Asian buffet for goodness sakesand the made the interior very Asian. The bridge over the koi pond is adorible, like many Asian things, the huts where their waiter stations are is just plain genius! Second, the food was a heck of a lot better than some of the other buffets in San Angelo. The hibachi grill was fantastic and there sushi wasn't bad either. I will say that the soup was less than par, but if that's the only complaint I'd still go there any day because I can live without soup. So yeah, I'll be eating there again soon and enjoy every minute of it. read more

Coming from San Francisco where I am surrounded by authentic Chinese cuisine, it is hard for me to write a review for an Asian buffet located in San Angelo. I normally wouldn't even eat Chinese food outside of the Bay Area just because I feel what i'll get isn't going to be half as good as what i get in SF. That being said, when the boyfriend said he wanted to have dinner at Asian Buffet before my flight back to SF brought some skepticism to me. At under $10 a person for dinner you can't really expect much variety and quality. To my surprise, they offered more food than I had originally expected. They even serve crab legs for dinner and a freezer full of self-serve ice cream. Some of the food were decent while others, not so much. I tried their hot and sour soup and was not impressed. It was really bland and watered down.. read more

I love Asian buffet! I ate so many crab legs I coulda been crab walkin myself sideways back to the car and been happy! Really the food is delicious and there is a chef in the back who will prepare your food special if you wish. read more

I read so many bad reviews on this site about the restaurant that I was actually a little worried about trying it out but I was craving sushi. So we figured if it didn't work out we could go to Wendy's. Well, it worked out. The staff is very friendly. The place was clean. Such a variety of food!!! I think I read there's 120 different things. I tried the sushi bar - wonderful! The man who worked the sushi bar was so friendly and helpful. I also had several different seafood dishes. One was a mix of crab, shrimp, octopus and jalapeno. Love the Texas spin on it! Hubby went nuts for the baked spinach. He won't pick a favorite but he raved about it. He also had the stir fried beef which he referred to as Asian Fajitas. Anyway, before you listen to too many bad reviews, give it a shot. I'm glad we did. read more

Just another buffet. Nothing really special, food does not stand out. Sadly I have yet to find a good Chinese place! Don't get your hopes up, but still worth a round if in the mood, we go on average, twice a year. read more

King Buffet - asian buffet in a parking lot - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

I'm very disappointed with the quality of this establishment. The food was dry from being kept in warmers too long and subpar for the price. Amazingly, and I've never said this about a restaurant before, the WATER was terrible. It tasted like it was mixed with dirt! Overall, a very disappointing experience. The staff was very friendly, but that is really my only recommendation about the place. read more

They've changed the name and updated some of the seating areas (which is much nicer than the previous worn-down version). The food and the service however, remain largely unchanged. You can tell they've tried to beef up their choices to meet the only other competitor, but it is overshadowed by the lackluster sushi and very unenthusiastic employees. Last try for us. read more

Hard time trying to pay for the food at the end of the dinner. The food was okay but I think that the experience with the staff could have been better. read more

Food tastes like its been sitting out all day. Not fresh not good everything tastes microwaved. Worst buffet like this I have been to. Water was good, that was it. read more

The quality is not the worst it's about what you expect out of buffet restaurant were you pay 10 bucks. The only issue I had was when the waitress at 8:30 starts basically telling us it's time to get the hell out of there and we'd only been there about 15 minutes and I'm thinking are they closing but no they close at 9 still 30 minutes away . Just getting a jump on it I guess ,but that's not any way you treat paying customers. read more
