The experience at King’s Chef Buffet was, to put it mildly, a roller coaster of disappointment. Now, the food itself had some redeeming qualities—let’s give credit where it’s due. The sushi was genuinely nice, and I was momentarily hopeful that this might be a pleasant meal. But the treatment of guests? That’s where the facade crumbled.
As a brown individual, I keenly felt a disparity in how I was treated. I was never asked if I needed anything—no friendly check-ins, no thoughtful service. The moment of final insult came when a lady serving took my bill, assumed the rest was hers for a tip, and only after I directly asked for my change, dismissed it as “just a few dollars.” I actually wanted that change to give to the sushi chef, who had at least earned it. The attitude: dismissive, as if my request was trivial.
To top it off, I had explicitly requested a diet soda—no sugar, please—only to be served what I suspect was the full-sugar version. I spent the rest of the day with my blood sugar spiking and feeling awful. A simple dietary request was ignored, and the price I paid was far beyond money.
In a town like Warrensburg, options might be limited, but I’d rather skip a buffet altogether than return here. A buffet should nourish both the body and the sense of welcome; this place failed at both.

Hello King’s Chef Buffet.
Around the University of Central Missouri this place is so famous for lunch breakfast dinner for many people in the Warrensburg, Y because this is a buffet just for only $15 and 0 tax on the food.
I don’t know what the back end of this zero tax policy but they are serving very good food .
I think I went there for four times , there is a small disadvantage while entering to enjoy is smell , the smell is so bad due to those sushi
— I strictly suggest you to bring some Aroma 360 machine.
Now after you enter they will ask you how many people and the drink
They will allocate the table to enjoy the buffet , you will need to enjoy like how I did in the video below.
Feedback for the restaurant
— Improve more cleanliness.
— Improve the Aroma.
These are the majors.
Cheers guys , Have a good one 1️⃣

I went here on a date with my boyfriend we are both teenagers and our waiter took advantage of that. we brought my parents as well. one of the real issues was is the waiter. the second my parent went to get food she was very rude. she scoffed everytime she had to take our plates from our tables. the whole time me nor my boyfriend were offered refills (our cups were empty) but my adult parents were. when we received our check it said $75 an some change which makes sense 18 per person no biggy. she watched as my boyfriend put his debit card on the tray and then snatched it away. she brought it back and made him sign the receipt which said $75 once again but refused to let us have a copy when she brought us the card back. after left we checked his bank statement and it was $91 dollars meaning she tipped herself almost $16 for TERRIBLE service. i don’t recommend eating her at all. if ur a teen i wouldn’t they’ll take advantage of it and treat you poorly. i’d also like to add we did leave a cash tip. that was his first paycheck so it really wasn’t a lot but he wanted to do something sweet so it’s really upsetting she tipped herself for terrible service.

The food was hot. I love how they had their fried chicken covered. It made the chicken juicy. Sushi is amazing lots of sauces to choose from. Buffet has many many choices. Very full of people which was a great sign at 8pm on a Saturday. The food was very flavorful and tasty. Lost a star because the bathrooms are horrendous horrible and so very disgusting. This place is huge and the bathrooms were 3 Stalls and all dirty the floors were flooded from a leaky toilet and all three were out of toilet paper. . Huge setback on such a nice restaurant.

The manager here screams at their customers and lies about the restaurant’s prices over the phone to lure you in.
I was told that the lunch price ends at the 45 minute mark (i had called prior to showing up). We were charged dinner prices at lunch time and were told that we didn’t know how to read “the signs that said that lunch price ends” (at the 30).
There were no signs posted for the time and price change. The manager while yelling at our table (in front of everybody) refused to stand by her own word for lunch pricing, claiming that lunch now stops at the 30 minute mark. We showed up even before then.
One of the employees were even trying to pull back the manager while the veins of her neck were popping. Only for her to turn around and curse us in a separate language very loudly. We were then given new prices for our meal. And we left.
The sushi is good and the food was alright, but I don’t go out with family to get screamed at.

If I’m in Warrensburg, I almost ALWAYS have to stop at King Chef! Not only is it nostalgic for me, but the food has always been amazing! It’s been my favorite Chinese food restaurant since I moved to MO in 1994! That was before it expanded into the sit down restaurant that it is today! I especially love their fried rice and egg drop soup!

Serious food hygiene issues. Gloves do not magically make what you touch clean they are a disposable barrier. Waiter would take dishes, clean tables, handle trash, and then refill your cup with the same gloves. When refilling cup the waiter took everyone at the table’s glasses back into a private area which I was able to see through the curtain. Waiter still using the dirty gloves filled cup by pouring the contents of a styrofoam cup into our cups. No way to know if anyone got back their cup, but it doesn’t even matter because when refilling they placed their dirty gloved fingers inside the glass while holding the cups. Waiter would also periodically take sips of some liquid, swish it around in their mouth, and then spit is back out into the sink in the back area. Just absolutely gross. I was so disgusted I couldn’t eat anymore and walked over to Arby’s across the street to get water. Never again. It’s a pity because the food tastes good and looks ok quality wise but if this is what happens in plain sight I’m terrified of what happens in the kitchen.

Went to lunch here today. Went in at about 12:15 on a Sunday. Got a soup and couple pieces of sushi to start out. Next thing we know they tell us they’re closing in ten minutes and to go get what we want and take it to our tables to finish it. We didn’t get more just paid and left. Yes they made us pay full price still. Won’t go back
