King Buffet - Drink list at the King Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

A very fun place to come with friends or your family! This place was always a traditional Friday night dinner with my family growing up. Yes the place seems a little outdated but the food is very good for the price you pay! There are some more "American" styled foods like nuggets and fries but that's more for kids or picky eaters. But there is still a wide range of food! read more

Great food and service. Staff was very friendly. Very clean. Cheap food and good for takeout. Would definitely recommend!

I went for the Buffet lunch today 1-18-2024 12:05pm. They use paper plates for the buffet. The food was Luke warm. The food temperature could of been warmer My costs with drink was $14.48. I had two paper plate of food that I ate there. Not sure If I would be going back any time soon. read more

Their service system is great and they do not pester you if you're ready to grab the check. Very polite. Food is awesome, many different choices and they constantly bring out fresh food. Great family environment. read more

Food is not bad gets u full but problem is on a full day there is kids running around can move around to many people and it smells like a sweatshop read more

Everything tastes the same and usually cold and hard. Crab legs smell very fishy. Desserts are decent as well as the price but isn't somewhere I would recommend anyone to eat read more

The only thing I had was yhe fried chicken wings and fried shrimp. Everything else was nasty. It's hard finding Asian buffets in ct. also the waitress was non-existent read more

King buffet open again. Everyday has a lunch and diner special menu. And available "all you can eat" option and to go option. Everything is clean, they do social distancing, wear mask and gloves. Nancy is very kind and helpful and friendly. Food is delicious, and has a crab-leg read more

Cheap place for the lunch or dinner. When I come back to NY I'm always stop at the buffet to get some lunch when I'm starving. read more

This place is an environmental disaster, they use foam plates, bowls and plastic utensils for all of their in-house dining. And it takes away from the dining experience eating on foam plates. They need to go back to washable dishes and silverware, but it seems they're too lazy to do so. And a lot of their buffet items are very salty and oily. If they can upgrade a couple of items to a healthier preparation, it would benefit them as well as the customer. read more

Traveling through town I stopped here and took a chance. Oh my God what a dump and garbage food. I should have taken my $15 and threw it out of the window of my car. Beware. I really should have stopped at McDonald's and got a filet of fish read more

Ah the good ol' King Buffet serving unlimited Chinese food. This has been around for as long as I can remember and I can even tell you that their food has gone downhill. Their food as a buffet is basically what you paid for. Their's certain times when it's good and bad too. Their service is something they need to work on. Yes, I am Chinese and the reason why I gave such a poor rating is as follows: -3 Stars for service and bickering about how myself and my family eat too much. Now what's the point of a buffet? We only come during a holiday or family birthday. What did we do wrong? We always gave 20-25% tip. Now mind you that's 5-7 of us. -1 star for freshness of food. So the final star is a gift that like I said, sometimes the food is actually good. A couple times I've gotten sick with food poisoning. So choose wisely people. Family and I have migrated to a new buffet on East Main St that opened up a few months ago called Kumo's. Better food, better choices, and the word fresh exists. Plus their waitresses and waiters provide excellent service. So fellow Yelpers, do yourself the favor and skip this joint. Stay away, stay far far away. read more

Is it a trashy buffet? No doubt...but it's also kind of a tradition for me. The variety of food is actually pretty good and they even have items like Chicken Nuggets and French Fries which are bound to be hits with picky children. When it comes to their actual food it's very hit-or-miss. Their General Tso's chicken is incredibly spongy and it only tastes halfway decent if it hasn't been sitting out for more than fifteen minutes. I usually hit up their imitation bacon wrapped crab meat, Teriyaki Chicken sticks and their spare ribs, with a bit of Lo Mein and Fried Rice on the side. Their fried chicken wings are surprisingly good. You can also get some questionable soft serve ice cream here too, but I believe it's been tailored to be suitable for those who are lactose intolerant. While it looks good, it tastes like some weird pudding half-breed. You can usually cover it up in sprinkles or something to mask the fact that it isn't really ice cream. The staff here is pretty nice though, they pick up your plates rather quickly and will help you out if you have any issues. The price is a little less than $10 a person, but if you plan accordingly, you can get absolutely trashed here and not want to eat anything else for the rest of the day. read more

Never going to this establishment again. Found hair in my food, I had just barely missed having someone else hair in my mouth. Thank God... I genuinely wish I had taken a picture but because that has literally never happened to me I was kind of stunned and just talked out. Gross... read more

The food here is pretty good. For a Chinese Buffet of course. The one thing that makes me so crazy about this place is the SAME song in Chinese playing over and over again, the pissy wait staff, and the vacuuming. The music goes without saying. But I really find the waitresses irritating. They accumulate off to the side and chitter to each other loudly. When they're not doing that, they're rudely snatching away your plate. At about nine o'clock they bust out the vacuum and do all but ask you to lift your feet. I go here as sparingly as possible- but if you want quantity not quality, knock yourself out! read more

I decided to go to King Buffet after I had finished working out next door (LA Fitness). The decor is nice and the place seems clean.. meaning it is upkept well.. not sloppy nor shabby/broken furniture. The buffet has a couple of islands with two more on the side and in the back. The two islands have the hot food while the one in the back is more the cold food (salad, vegetable, sushi). The one on the side has the desserts like fresh cut up fruit. One caution though is that there are two cuisines- regular American food like mac and cheese, french fries and Chinese food like Chicken with vegetable. I thought the buffet (food) was adequate though kind of bland. I wonder how they are able to make money during the week as I went there for lunch and it was not filled. Probably on the weekends it gets busy I would imagine. I would say if you want a variety (a la buffet) this is a place to go. read more

I've passed this place many times without ever thinking I'd go in until a friend suggested it one night. We were seated right away...at a booth with a ripped seat on one side. The decor was minimal and looked like a mall cafeteria with the tiles and fake plants. The selection was small but the food was hot. I especially enjoyed the walnut shrimp and General Taos's chicken. The food was greasy and overall, okay. The price was $13 and change per person which is cheap considering most places in Stamford cost that amount for just one plate of food. I don't know if I'll ever go again on my own but won't complain if it's suggested again. read more

So I went here for a good meal, but got the complete opposite. The food is horrible. The staff is not the best. DO NOT Recommend .

I used to eat here frequently as a kid with my family. Back then I did not understand quality or taste when it came to food. I merely ate whatever I wanted and thought it was decent because the price point was fantastic for the selections available. There's two/three bars of hot food, sushi, salads, and desserts. However, I will not returning back ever. After I finished eating here (approx 10 minutes after leaving), I got the most horrendous food poisoning. God knows what goes on behind in that kitchen. I'm surprised this place is still running given that Kumos on East Main Street absolutely destroys this buffet. Kumos is actually fresh, whereas here it's days old and bland. read more

I like to go places with bad reviews sometimes .. there are some times where I am pleasantly surprised at great service/experience. Not this time lol. The avg low rating is well deserved. The food is bland and lukewarm. The selection of food is pretty much minimal also. I guess the soup was ok. Honestly, avoid this place lol. read more

I went here for lunch and won't be back. I am very forgiving when it comes to asian buffets but this was soooo weak. All the "hot" food was cold, and all of the food I tried (which was mostly everything) was totally bland. We complained to the hostess about the cold food as did the table across from us. The hostess argued with the other patrons for several minutes and denied the food was cold, but eventually gave us all a small discount. The staff is nice and well meaning, but the food is really poor. NOT recommended. read more

Okay, where do I begin. I was hesitant to go inside based off the previous reviews. However, this is like the only buffet in Stamford so I decided to try it out with my husband for lunch. I should have known something was up when they had a kiosk type set up at the entrance with bootleg wallets, purses, and other items. While we were being seated, I noticed the poor conditions of the furniture and overall items in the place. I could ignore all of the above if the food was good. There were minimal food choices and the food was old as shit. Food tasted old and questionable. Soup was def old too. Um after we sat down to try to eat something we immediately regret running out the door. We ate a few things, literally spitting every other item out in disgust. Even the hood spots are better than this. Beware. Eat somewhere else. Anywhere else. read more

A huge downgrade from where the restaurant was even a year or two ago. Food is of poor quality & service is subpar. Even the variety in drinks is horrible. Overall everything's changed for the worse. read more

Do not come here worst buffet ive gone to, no quality in food. Super bland and just straight up tasted old! I cant believe we didnt run out :( Totally sucked and looking at the reviews now; I tried giving the place a chance in my mind because its the 4th of Jully but noooooo apparently everyone else has gone at another time and same experience!!! Not cool keep up king buffet I wish I ate something else. Unsatisfied completely! my family did not enjoy it, neither did I "sorry not sorry". read more

I visited King Buffet in Stamford for the first time tonight and was extremely disappointed. It was one of the most expensive Chinese buffets I've ever been to, but had the small selection of any Chinese buffet that I've ever been to, and I've been to many Chinese buffets. The service was weak and not very friendly. The selection was very small and a lot of the food was cold and looked like it had been sitting for a long time. It was also way overpriced at $13 a person. There is a Chinese buffet near my home that costs $12 and it literally has about five times as much selection (no exaggeration), including a large selection of sushi and a hibachi grill. This buffet was terrible and I would never return. It was, without a doubt, the worst Chinese buffet that I've ever been to. read more

Food is good. Surprise to find hibachi at a buffet! So much seafood to eat! Will return again when I'm in town!

Now believe me when I say I eat anything without complaining but this experience was just to much! My wife thought it would be a good idea to try a new Chinese buffet then the one we always go to and boy was it one giant mistake! Now don't get me wrong the staff if pretty ok but the food was just horrible. The chicken nuggets looked and tasted like they been there since the day before and so did everything else. It was so bad I only grabbed one plate and ran out the door. I don't know if it was just the food or the "hot sauce" they had there but everything tasted like someone poured the whole salt jar on it! Worst $40 dollars ever spend read more

Would never return. I decided to go there even after reading the bad reviews because I couldn't find other Chinese buffet options around the area and I was craving crab legs. Bad decision number 1. Gave them a call in advance to see if crab legs were available. They confirmed it was. Upon getting there I find out that not only do I have to pay full buffet price, approx $12, but also $3 per lb of crab legs on the side!! I still gave it a go since I was already there. Bad decision number two. Ordered a pound of legs that came barely warm. Decided not to order anymore and give the regular food a go. Regular food barely warm!! Not many choices and did not look too appetizing. Tried most dishes and was not impressed. All in all, this was not a well-run restaurant, poor pricing, and service. The waitress was ineffective and inexperienced. Though well meaning, she was irritating and not helpful. End of everything, if your food quality is bad enough to leave a 1 star, ancillary things like ambiance and service is irrelevant. I would avoid this place and not make mistake number 1!! I have eaten off Mexican street carts that I thought was probably cleaner. read more

i am very disgusted i want to give this place a negative 0 i wish i would have walked out .me and my two daughters went and all of us was in the bathroom after. the food was very nasty .seemed very old i would advise no one i mean no one to eat here. read more

Ate here a while back. My brother in law ordered from the regulars menu, not the buffet. He took one bite of his shrimp and immediately spit it out. He called the waitress over and told her the shrimp tasted like they went bad. She argued with him, telling him they were fine. He even asked her to taste it. She dud and said she thought it tasted fine. He told her he was not satisfied and he was not paying for bad food. She had the damn nerve to call the police, telling them we would not pay for the food when all he wanted was for them to make something else. That was the last time we went there. read more

Terrible food. The food was not fresh, over cooked and tasted horrible. The utensils and plates were all dirty. I will never come back

The service is horrible and the food is DISGUSTING!!!!! They use very LOW QUALITY ingredients, because the taste is awful! Where else can you find ketchup tasting like metal and cheep soda named 'CRAZY DOG"!!!!!! The food was cold and not very appealing to the eye . In general the food was so greasy that I could not eat anymore read more

For $14 a piece dinner, the food is not bad. Between Indian lunch buffet and Chinese buffet, you get 5 times more varieties at this place, that is just the business challenge. The other factors are quality and experience. This place is for budget families so you won't find sophisticated clients like at other higher price places. Quality wise, it is B. So on balance, if you can at least eat at Chipotle, then this place will not disappoint you. read more

This place was bad. Nice staff but limited selection of cold and greasy tasteless food. Worst chinese ive ever had

Good for meal time. Good buffet selections of traditional and kid friendly foods. Not crowded, good wait staff watching over the dinning room. Bottomless drinks is a nice feature. Top off the experience with an ice cream cone to go. Well done read more
