New King Buffet - Delicious clamshells - Seafood Near Me - Ceres, California

This was my family and I's first time eating here. It had good reviews and was dine in. I should have known to turn around and leave when we weren't greeted upon walking up to the counter to pay first. Or when we were charged $55 for 3 people to eat with sodas for each. All plates and utensils are cheap paper/plastic, you're asked to clear your own table too. There were no labels above/below the food. My family and I each had full plates of food. Bit disappointed there was no white rice. We all got 2 bites of each dish and every single one was cold and disgusting. We immediately got up, didn't clear the table, and asked for a full refund! Cashier gave me the refund and only said "you keep this receipt" "give me your card" "sign this". My family and I will never come back here again! Eat here at your own risk! read more

Delicious! I like this place a lot! They are doing dine in now. When you go in you have to wear a mask and there are gloves available for you. When you are seated you can take your mask off. The utensils and plates are disposable. This place has an awesome selection of sushi. You can get tuna and salmon sashimi as well as a great variety of delicious rolls. They have raw oysters on the half shell available that taste very fresh. Their seafood is awesome. You will get your money's worth here for sure. You can also get a takeout box for a great low price. For a pound of sushi and seafood as well as some other things, I usually spend around $7. This place might look like any other buffet, but the food is awesome. Such a treat. I hope this place doesn't close down. Awesome find. read more

worst place ive gone to food cold and no flavor at all plus they charge so much nasty place

Great variety, decent food turnover, always crazy busy & good price. I drive over 40 miles & skip several other similar places to go here.

Used to love coming here but a lot has changed. No more wonton soup just hit and sour soup which is not that good they also don't have cream cheese Rangoon's or crab legs. 73 dollars for 3 adults and 1 child !? Ridiculous. If your gonna charge that much atleast have more variety and better flavor the food is not that good like it used to be. The only decent thing is the sushi which I enjoyed but everything else is just gross and way over priced read more

This place is Ehhhh at best. They have a lot of interesting options. Didn't really like any of the sushi choices tho. The service was ok I guess like it wasn't good but it's wasn't bad either idk how to even explain it i didn't have a bad experience but I didn't really care for it definitely won't be coming back id definitely go with a better version. The China buffet in Modesto off of Briggsmore definitely a better version of this place. read more

The worsted food ever !!! Really disappointed!!! We went here with tour today and they stop here for dinner. Be careful guys,they charged more than regular price. They charge us $ 18 per person and regular price is $12.99. Really ripped me off . read more

So let's just get this out of the way first: this place is a buffet so keep your expectations in check because buffets have notoriously mediocre food. But it's also only $9 so can you really go wrong? Depends. They keep refilling the hot trays so the food is fresh. I saw several trays refilled as I was going back for food which was good. For some reason, only some of the food is labeled so you can't always tell what type of meat it is, has nuts etc. So if you have a lot of dietary restrictions this is definitely not the place for you. But King has several options that range from pretty good to edible. I liked the hot and sour soup, green beans, imitation crab sushi (better than trader joes), spicy shrimp, cocktail shrimp and broccoli beef. I would generally say that the since this is a Chinese run establishment that the Chinese options are better than the American, but they do have both. And they have like 6 ice cream favors! If you're really hungry, and/or craving Chinese this might be the place for you. read more

Pretty good food. The dining room is clean along with the food tables. Nice wide selection of food. I liked everything I tried. The restrooms are clean also. read more

New King Buffet - Nice buffet - Seafood Near Me - Ceres, California

This is the best place to go to for an all you can eat buffet. I've traveled all over California and I really appreciate the sushi that they have. I the best for a buffet !! And their ice cream is so good. Plus, the waiter staff is excellent read more

I can't believe I'm doing it but I'm actually giving this place four stars. The service does need improvements but the quality of food I am very surprised it's above average but not top quality. The price for our lunch was $8.99 per person AND the drinks are paid separately. $2.00 per soad and they have horchata ($2.25). Will I return? Yeah....shockingly yeah read more

This has always been one of my favorite chinese buffets. Food is always fresh & tasty! I came today after a few months of not coming & they made alot of improvements! Decor looks very nice & the food even tasted better & they added more choices! As always food was delicious & great prices! Still no complaints! read more

New King Buffet - Get in my belly!!! - Seafood Near Me - Ceres, California

Was very disappointed. Had three option to choose from before coming here. Was convinced to try this place because of the name NEW King Buffet. Seen this place was 4 star thought it wasn't that bad. Arrived at location and was expecting a much more appealing store front. Look like an underground Buffet. Walk in and was pretty small compare to most Buffet I usually go to. The worker that take care of our empty plate was constantly watching everyone to make sure no one dine and dash. Why I say that cause I had about 3 empty plate and seen other table have empty plates and he wasn't clearing them as expected in a timely matter. Food was cold and selection was horrible. Felt like I had a Buffet at a Chinese fast food joint. My all time favorite coconut shrimp taste like powder and was cold. Very poor experience. Will not be coming back. Only reason I gave 3 star cause it still a decent place for a last minute desperate measure for anyone that have the munchies. Goodluck and do give them a try. You might actually have a better experience then I did. Wish you the best. read more

Not even a star if there was negative stars I'd pick that food was cold and old only thing that made it kinda worth it was the Mongolian bbq and even that was ass read more

Stopped on for lunch today. Like any Chinese buffet you need to be wary of the offerings.....I was very pleased. Asparagus, fresh and cooked perfectly, couldn't get enough! (The only down side, they didn't snap the ends off) Anything with broccoli .....broccoli was cooked perfectly and tasty. Definitely recommend if your in the area. read more

New King Buffet - Fresh sushi during dinner time. - Seafood Near Me - Ceres, California

Food was worst then 1 star. Cold food no flavor. I ate 25.00 worth of hot French fried when they came out. Restaurant very very dirty. Bathrooms even worst. Save your self 46.00 for couple to eat there. Outside of building horrible. Bars on the window and it looks as if vomit was on sidewalk. Horrible experience never again, don't go. read more

Pictures are deceiving, what you see is not what you get. Very ghetto, dirty, hard to find, lose dogs rooming around. Food is not good, no crabs, barely no seafood, food is cold, no AC, curtains are closed, bathroom is dark and dirty. Posting of this place is overrated, don't recommend if you are looking for something good. read more

It's about time we had a great buffet choice! This is not your usual American-style buffet. This is your authentic Chinese/Japanese/Asian Fusion buffets we are used to. The service was prompt and we were seated at a small table and offered drinks. I went ahead and got a plate and as I usually do at any new buffet, I started getting one bite of everything. Now usually I will end up with about two or three things that I do not like, but this time I cleaned my plate! I was so surprised at the full-bodied taste and and palatability of all the food that I decided to go back for round two. Again I got one bite of the items I had not gotten during the first round. Again I cleaned my plate! My mom did the same! The desserts are just as good. Pastries, cookies and a great selection of ice cream. Believe me, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Ok place to eat not the best but it's worth the buck... Hate having to ask them to make you something the cooks are pretty rude but then again it's a hit or miss with the cooks. read more

please don't come here, this place is not sanitary or clean nor good food. they overcharge for entry, the dining area is so cluttered, it's always so hot in here, bathrooms are smelly and not kept up, they clean with dirty smelly towels and the carpets are so nasty and smelly since they spill dirty water on floors as they clean, I've been here 2 times and not by choice and I will never come here again, tbh I'm not sure how they Haven't got shut down! I need a inspector to please come here and close this place down. read more

Honestly this place is trash. It used to be good when they first opened but now their variety sucks, kind of dirty and they charge kids as adults. So for 4 people it was 75 bucks and one of the 4 people was a 3 year old. Go to four seasons for a Chinese buffet. read more

I like this buffet. They have a good selection of dishes, a little sushi, soups, a few desserts. My husband and I have been here a few times for lunch. I usually get random Chinese dishes, however last time I went I tried the sushi and it was pretty good. read more

This place is pretty darn tasty!! Everything i tried was really good... the sushi rolls couldve been a bit fresher... i like my stuff still kickin, so i am a lil picky when it comes to sushi..But like i said everything i tried was delicious! I think their prices are really reasonabke as well.. the only thing i didnt care for was the ice cream area...it looked not super clean and some of the ice creams were super mushy, the dessert area is not the reason i came here anyways!!! Really good on all the noodles, rice., seafood dishes!! read more

First time here since I was 18, which would make it 7 years since my first visit. I'm not sure if it's under new ownership but the food was amazing last night. The sushi was so good. All food tasted fresh and this was 30 minutes before closing time. The brownies were also amazing. I found my new happy place when I'm having a bad day! read more

People serving their food with no mask nor no gloves on. Terrible customer service!! Overcharged!! I checked my bank account they overcharged me when their receipt had a different price!! read more

Food ok. Customer service ok. No where worth the price. Definitely wouldn't recommend or return.

To be fair, I came here because I had a seafood craving and I had eaten here once before. I remember my first experience being a lot better and that's why I came back. During my last visit, there were boiled dungeness crab legs, raw oysters on the half shell, salt and pepper shrimp, still-frozen tuna sashimi, and stir-fried crawfish, etc. among other non-seafood items like their hibachi grill. The dinner price is $11.99 for adults, and Sundays they serve dinner all day. I don't know the children's prices. Anyway, the food here is decent. It's not the best, but also not the worst either. Buffets are typically quantity over quality. Customer service is okay. There's someone assigned to each area who will collect your plates and utensils after you leave your seat. They don't seem to be quick on the drink refills though. I think you have to ask for it or they just assume you don't want anymore. They have a very strict food-wasting policy which is understandable. The women's restroom is disgusting and for some reason the toilet seat was strapped down with a rusty wire. The toilet cover wouldn't even lift up all the way, and the paper towel dispenser was jammed. It's definitely a hole in the wall, not exactly some place I'd take someone I'm trying to impress, but they have some pretty good items. I had an appetite before I used their restroom. read more

We brought my dad here for Fathers day because my parents love the seafood but omg its sooo dirty! They left the kitchen door open and omg I could not believe my eyes... Also I don't eat any meat and the guy cooked my seafood with the meat ! I was so mad but I didn't say anything because I did not want to make a big deal or be rude.. I wont ever step foot again! read more

Iv been to this place many times, I have good things to say and bad. Good: the sushi is good Greenbeans are tasty Love the oysters on half a shell The BBQ ribs are delicious Bad: Water or soda has a fosit taste Staff stairs a lot Not all the food taste good They always change up the prices I found hair in my food once I found a pice of some type of metal wire to And when I told one of the staff they called someone else I'm guessing the owner or manager and I told them quite and nicely about what I found. And she was just plain rude gave me a 10% discount and gave me the EYE the rest of the time I was there. read more

Decided to check this place out because a friend said it was good so I had to see if it's true. It surely didn't disappoint. There was sushi, fried rice, coconut shrimp, and many other delicious foods. You can't go wrong with the price $8.99 for lunch. Definitely can't wrong with that. I didn't expect to like this place but now that I've gone. I can say I'll return and eat. Gotta love buffets. read more

New king buffet was hands down the worst abomination of a buffet I've ever been to. Most of the food was old and cold, service was terrible. Kids running around everywhere and a dirty floor. But the worst part about it was the food. I've been to many Chinese buffets but this one takes the cake. Don't waste your $16 and go get some real food. read more

The food is great! The workers aren't sociable. They always look upset or angry. Kind of rude, I'd say. It took them probably half an hour to get me a refill and it wasn't even busy. I was nice. Overall, the food is good. I recommend the spicy garlic shrimp. My personal fave! read more

I found the this restaurant by luck as I live in Modesto. However, I will be back! Very tasty food and well prepared. Lots of variety but not over done. I came at 1:30 and food was hot and plentiful.
