We didn't know what to expect, especially seeing a few right-leaning shirts at the tables around us. Noticing this place while on a road trip we wanted to try it out. Breakfast was priced at $10.99 on the website. We got two plus one coffee and with tip the bill was about $35. Didn't add up, but ok. I noticed a few comments here about the staff being rude. We didn't experience that. From the cashier to the people serving drinks and picking up plates, they were nice and helpful. The food was ok, not great, but good for the price paid. I mean, from the mountains of food people were putting on their plates I'm a little confused how they make a profit. As a vegetarian and diabetic I had limited choice. If you are a meat eater, about every breakfast meat you can imagine they had, even something called scrapple, which is a regional thing I guess. There was an omelette station too. There was a dessert bar also. My husband -who has a sweet tooth- got a blueberry pie type dessert and could barely eat it because it was too sweet. As a diabetic it was good to see they had sugar free syrup and one sugar free dessert. On the buffet I could only have the eggs, mushrooms and a few house breakfast potatoes- which were quite good. We got there a little after 8:30 a.m. and it wasn't super busy. There was no waiting in line. When we left 45 minutes later, there was a huge line. Overall happy we tried it out. If we lived here we may go back to try out lunch or dinner. This isn't gourmet food, and for the price paid you wouldn't expect it. If you go, enjoy it for what it is.

By 11:20 maybe 20% of the trays had food, and no one was in a hurry to address the issue. Servers were more interested in their cellphones. Sushi, when it finally came out, was a joke: 90% julienned celery, no avocado, almost no fish; a few pieces had a little fake crab but no other seafood. The staff member preparing sushi knew I was waiting but took her time, with nothing out until 11:30. The roast pork did not come out of the kitchen until 11:55. No mustard or duck sauce for the eggrolls, no diet soda of any kind. Entrees were standard quality, just mostly unavailable half an hour after opening. The fried sweet plantains and steamed shrimp were the best things offered. Go to the other Chinese buffet in town. It is cheaper and better run--never an empty tray. 56 Buffet is clean and attractive, but that doesn't count for much when food is not available, and the sushi is the worst I have ever encountered..

I have eaten at King's Buffet a few times, and my parents regularly eat there. I found the food tasty and fresh, more so than other Chinese buffet restaurants I have been to. The buffet was plentiful with an adequate supply of everything. I didn't eat anything that was poorly done, although of course, not every dish is to everyone's taste. The owners are friendly; the one gentleman even remembers my elderly parents and bring them their decaf coffee. I highly recommend trying it out.

The egg rolls in particular have gone from what I'd call "Authentic" to "Store Bought and Oven Baked" where instead of the crisp cabbage and such, its almost like a mush. The chicken on a stick, meanwhile... I'm not sure if they changed up the coating or what, but the taste is more plain than it used to be. Overall, while still a good place to eat... I'm going to have to drop it down from a five star to a four.

The food is great, the people are extremely friendly and accommodating. We arrived for the lunch deal around 3:00 p.m. and were seated immediately and we stayed very close to 6:00 p.m. (not eating beyond the normal, but enjoying our conversation). The staff checked on us to see if we needed more water, they noticed that we were not still dining, but enjoying each others' company, we had paid our bill and were done eating. Did not bother us, or ask us to leave as the place started to fill up with dinner guests, we removed ourselves to the outside (no chairs there--but standing and chatting for at least another 15 minutes). It would be nice if there was a bench there to sit on outside; but the place is large enough that I don't really see the need for a waiting area that would require them to put in one (outside). Not one time did a staff member ask us to leave because we were NOT eating...we had come for a late lunch and good conversation. It was really rewarding to have a business ALLOW us to sit there that long and not continuously ask if we were done, or to leave. They definitely get my vote! I will be returning. Clean, good atmosphere and inviting. Maybe it's the time of day we went, but I have NO complaints about the food, cleanliness or attitudes of the employees/servers.
