    This place is pretty decent, I like the interior design but I feel like the food options was not much. And the desert was not good they could have done better banana pudding was not good

    Assortment of foods

    Man, this place doesn't let down (for the most part). But it is def worth a shot! The prices are actually really good compared to the buffets around SA. Now, once walking in, you are greeted by the manager, which is where you pay. The interior is nice, a little dark, but nice still. Once sat down, I always go straight for the food. You'll see all of your selections there, on my photos you can see the selection I chose. I always eat the lomein, rangoons, egg rolls, beef broccoli, grilled chicken and the steamed vegetables. Those items ALWAYS hit, highly recommend. For overall price and quality of food, it's worth a shot, like said, better than other places.

    The Rangoon and lo mein were actually very good.

    After church stop. We had been here years ago. This trip was pretty much bad. The worst general chicken we've ever had. It had just opened and a lot of the food was cold? Don't get it. The staff was great though. It's hard to say exactly what was right. They had this desert with crumbled cookies on top, similar to banana pudding, that was surprisingly good. The family kept going up to try to find more items to like, I gave up 1 and 1/2 plates in. They steak if you get it warm of grill, was delicious. Go figure. The crab Rangoon was also weirdly delicious. It had this sweet taste that worked. Lo mein was above average. The fried rice was not? It was YELLOW!!! So far out least favorite buffet in town!

    This is a photo of my receipt for me and. 12 yr old. We come eat a late lunch shortly after 2 and we get charged dinner prices. I ask the manager how much the buffet is as I'm looking at the receipt he has $18.99 and I tell him on the website it says $12.99 he said that not the correct price. He tries to show us a price for after 3:30. It's 2:22. Hence the 2nd picture. I ask for my money back before stepping away from the counter. He said well you can't get your money you have to wait 7-10 business days. He keeps trying to justify himself with pricing. Fix it online and you won't have a problem. It's not even dinner time. Then I look on my account and the charge pending is $59.49 . Not $47.59. My first and last time coming to King Buffett!

    A bit of everything

    My dad would move from Vegas to SA for this buffet. As someone who has his fair share craving of crab legs and someone who's made sure his daughters acquire this taste, this buffet is *chefs kiss* It was my third time coming yesterday, first without my dad, and I honestly felt like I was cheating haha This is NOT your most upscale buffet. Could it be cleaner? YES. Could the workers be a bit more polite? Sure. Are your drinks refilled like it's a priority rather than an inconvenience? No. BUT, there's so many OPTIONS. And believe me people, I don't eat non-halal meat so my options are limited to SEAFOOD & vegetarian entrees....and still I think this place is worth it. $17 / person will get you into the LINE for crab legs. Yes yes, there is a LINE more often than not, but STILL WORTH IT. I'm not too sure if this is a daily thing or just for dinner, so do call ahead and make sure. They have a grill station in which you can put a protein, some veggies & condiments together and have it freshly cooked. I usually go for the shrimp, toss in a handful of bean sprouts, a HEAP full of minced garlic, and a few tablespoons of garlic sauce to make an EPIC spicy shrimp dish *thank me later* Outside of this station, it's the CRAB LEGS. Get 'em hot, get 'em while you can. This is definitely a customer sought area of the buffet. I also appreciate the baked salmon, the BLUEBERRY COBBLER, the rangoons, fried *cod* fish, breaded shrimp, and the salt and pepper crabs. The time my toddler has been here, she's become a fan of the Lo Mein which alternatively means that I must learn how to make it at home *sigh* I should have taken more pictures, but I was too busy stuffing my face, inhaling a few

It was coated with flour like fried chicken instead of corn starch which it should be Couldn't taste the black bean sauce although the sauce was strong Sweet and sour soup was full of good items but so much pepper it made me cough Soups are in tiny cups they call small bowls White rice is good and sticky Shrimp with lobster sauce is nothing like it should be, mostly corn and tasteless, I mean tasteless like water Not the usual recipe others serve. The beef rice noodles were like I would make from a reg pan at home without, again, taste. They need that wok taste but it's not there So disappointed, not cheap either , easily $18 a plate Place was clean and looked decent but what good is that if the food is lousy?

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

We got the Garlic Chicken wings , spicy won ton soup and Mapo Tofu (comes with a serving of rice). Seriously the smells that you experience the second the food is set in front of you is intoxicating! I 100% suggest you try! The prices are definitely better than any restaurant of its kind. Well worth it!

If we want to go there for lunch, we try to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they first open. As it gets closer to 12 noon, it starts to get really busy, and it's harder and trickier for the staff to seat you. There is both booth and table seating.

The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.
