We’ve been here a couple of times since it’s been under new management and sadly the place has gotten worse. When it was Kings Buffet, the staff were excellent, they would refill your drink the moment you finished it and the food was always piping hot. Things are not the same now under this new management and new staff. My partner and I went today at around 6pm. The food was barely warm and the waitress all but ignored us and didnt offer to refill our drinks until we were ready to leave. This restaurant was once a favourite of ours but now we will be trying new places. RIP Kings Buffet

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful bubbly wall at the entrance. Asian food was good however the American wasn’t but that was to be expected. The carmel pudding was funky. Excellent friendly and prompt service. Great place for large groups.

Recently remodeled and updated. Good Chinese buffet fare at decent prices. 1 adult and 2 kids $30. Good variety, fruit, salad and dessert bars along with buffet.

I would have given 4 stars, but my youngest daughter insisted that I dock a point for them not having any crab legs, despite the sign saying so.

Edited: gave the 4th star, as my daughter is happy with the crab legs situation now.

This place was absolutely horrible,terrible, disgusting. And all other bad things about it. Me and my husband went there at 12pm! Ok thinking, yea it’s the middle of lunch everything SHOULD be fresh. Boy were we wrong. NOTHING we had on either one of our plates was hot or fresh. The chicken was dry. Just terrible. #wasteoftimeandmoney if I could give it negative stars, it would be like a -15 for how #terrible it was. Don’t waste your time. It should be shut down.

Will never be back. We were starving and on the road. Should’ve took the reviews advice. But, we took a chance anyway. We were the only 2 people in there and we got there around 5:45pm on a Friday night. Got our drinks and plates and went for the buffet….Oh myyyy is all I can say. The lo-mein noodles looked like they had been sitting for for hours and were hard, I went deep in the pan and found a few that were edible. The sesame chicken was the same, hard and tough. We basically had to get a tiny amount of things that weren’t so bad. The rice was dead. However, I will give them a few points because the salad was great and actually really fresh! **GAVE 1 STAR BECAUSE I HAD TO, TO BE ABLE TO POST MY REVIEW**

It is okay however previous owners had better quality food in my opinion. A little pricey in my opinion only based on quality of food. Not a problem paying the going rate but make it worth it. New China out on Crestwood Blvd. Is the bomb for lunch.

So I don’t eat this type of food…i don’t particularly like it but there was a birthday party being hosted there and I went for the party. They have a large selection of items and they had what I believe to be grilled tilapia on the hot bar and it was absolutely delicious. The rolls were really good too. Staff was very friendly.

This place is, unfortunately, pretty much off the radar. Most people can’t tell it’s there unless they are really paying close attention to the roadside. They could use a sign that “GRABS” your attention and draws your eyes to the restaurant. Even then, it needs a facelift. I am sure they are having to watch every penny, but like most Chinese food places, the owners probably feel that clean is good enough. They don’t understand that Americans are more impressed by glitz and glamor than just by being clean.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place. It’s clean, even though it’s not fancy. But where they shine is where it truly matters.
For me, cleanliness is the 1st thing on the list followed by great service and friendliness. The latter two are together, not separate from each other. Then comes the quality of the food and lastly a good variety.
The staff is very friendly and the service is wonderful. Next is the thing you go there for, the food.
They have a variety so huge, you will need multiple trips to make your way through the entire buffet. Want Chinese food? They have so much, you will be overloaded. Want mac and cheese or regular American food? They’ve got it. I almost forgot, but you get to dip your own Premium ice cream. All you want. Want to order instead of going through a buffet? Ask for the menu. Want salad, dessert, fruit, anything? They likely have it. Is it good? NO! IT’S GREAT, AWESOME, FLAVORFUL. What can I say other than just go there and try it.
Oh! And don’t expect a large bill. Dinner for two with some of the best southern sweet tea you will ever drink was around twenty five dollars. Lunch is from 10:30AM-3:30 PM and is even less.
I am not a friend or relative of these people, but I’m asking you to try them, if you like Chinese food.
I hope, no, I’m sure you’ll love it. They just need word of mouth to get more business so we can have a great Chinese restaurant to go to. We don’t need them to close like so many others before them. They need our support and advertisement by word of mouth. I hope you will go by soon.
