But because this was somewhat near the edge of town, I thought this would be a nice place. I did read mixed reviews on Google, but Yelp had mostly negatives. The selection was very poor, and there were some basics like crab rangoon (which surprisingly wasn't that good) and rice, noodles, yada. I also have to agree with the reviewer that talked about the front counter guy as he acted like he was afraid of me. Don't get me wrong, I am not one to poke fun at one's disabilities...he should've been placed somewhere else in the restaurant.

So I'm in Rome, New York, right? And I'm starving. I mean, I haven't eaten since breakfast, and…read moreit's already dinner time and I'm thinking, there's gotta be some decent restaurants in this town, right? But no. No, they don't. All they have is fast food. Fast food everywhere. McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC. And then I see it. A sign. A sign that says "Kings Buffet". And I think, maybe this is it. Maybe this is my salvation. Maybe this is where I'll find some real food. Some authentic, delicious, satisfying food. And I look at the reviews online, and they're mixed. I don't care. I'm desperate. I'm willing to take a chance. I'm willing to gamble with my stomach. So I go in. And I see the food. And it's... standard. Standard buffet quality. Nothing special. Nothing terrible. Just... food. And there's a lot of it. A lot of variety. And I'm surprised by the variety of non-Asian food on the menu. I'm hungry. I'm not picky. I'm not snobby. I'm not a food critic. I'm just a gal who wants to eat. So I grab a plate, and I pile it up. I pile it up with everything. Everything I can fit on the plate. And I go to my table, and I start eating. And it's... good. It's hot, it's fresh, it's filling. It reminds me a little bit of the Golden Corral. And I enjoy it. I enjoy my dinner. I go in hungry, and I leave full. And I think, that's all I can ask for. That's all I can ask for from a buffet.

The buffet areas were clean and the staff wore gloves when serving. We were a large group so they gave us our own room. We had several waitresses so our plates were taken away promptly and drink orders filled right away. I chose the unsweetened iced tea and it was perfect. I tried samples of several things but my favorites were the steak (cooked medium rare) and salad. The salad bar is amazing with so many choices and the steak was a pleasant surprise and tasty. The deserts were just ok but the soft serve ice cream was the best for me. Altogether a great experience and for someone who dislikes buffets I will be back so that is a tribute to how good a job they are doing here at this location.

Two orders contained shrimp which was very "off tasting" so we couldn't eat it and didn't feel it would be safe to eat it. The soup we ordered was absolutely and completely spoiled!! When we opened the soup container the spoiled smell filled the kitchen, however of course my husband still insisted on tasting it and, yup, making me taste it too! We only brought the spoon to our nose and touched it to our lips to confirm it was spoiled (yes we were sure before doing this, spit it right out, but didn't want to say anything without knowing for certain) and it absolutely was spoiled and the person who packaged it in the restaurant had to have smelled it. The egg rolls were nothing but SALT (and I usually don't mind a bit of salt)! We did not return the food because of winter weather, but I reached out to them and was told I would hear from them in 24 hours however I did not hear from them at all. I would never just go online and trash a meal I don't care for, however this meal could have been potentially dangerous if eaten!! I have since spoken to other family members who have tried this restaurant and all have said they had absolutely terrible food and would never order from them again! Well, I won't either! Food is so expensive these days and ordering out is very expensive and is now considered a treat and we spent much to much for this meal to throw away! I advise everyone to avoid this restaurant!

They offered traditional items such as fried rice, lo mein, a seafood option, egg rolls, chicken, and beef options. It's definitely enough to get the job done. You won't leave hungry by any means. I personally enjoyed their beef in garlic sauce. It was very tender & flavorful! The dining area was very clean and updated. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I would definitely suggest giving them a try, especially if you're on a budget. Their lunch buffet is less than $10! I think that's a pretty great deal.
