Friday, March 3, 2023My boyfriend took me to King Buffet & I loved the varieties of food that this buffet had. Since it is Lent I am to abstain from eating meat on Fridays, in memory of Good Friday. Loved the quality of food & everything I had was delicious. The atmosphere was chill. The service from the waitresses was great - they take your plate as soon as they see you are done with it to make table room for you. The only negative I have is the price was $18 per person. I didnt even eat that much food for it to be worth that price. So it was a little pricey. Other then that it was very nice.

King Buffet is a local favorite, offering a variety of options throughout the day. Dinner offerings include salmon, a sushi bar, a variety of fried foods including chicken, various potatoes (pan fried and mashed) and in part because of the large Chinese population... Chinese fare. The buffet is light on veggies, though there is some broccoli and zucchini offered. Dessert is basic: jello, ice cream, cookies and pudding. Prices are pretty inexpensive.

Went to the buffet as dinner date with my fiancé. The food was really good just dont like when buffet add mayo onto their sushi or cheesy oysters. The place is very clean! I will recommend going again specially dinner date!! Their miso soup is very amazing!!! And piece is very cheap specially coming from porterville when drinks are not included.

If you get there after 3:30 its gonna cost $20(tax inc.). Before 3:30 its like $13 or something.They had a lot of food. Drinks are included. They had soft serve ice cream and slushies. We ate a lot of their sushi and they did a great job of keeping up. They do a good job of getting your empty plates and the staff were nice.

Very busy buffet, not a whole lot of choices but just enough. Flavor is lacking on a lot of the dishes. Self serve drinks is a plus. Sushi bar too.

My standards for food and buffets are not that high, but this was a pretty disappointing experience. Id say about 60%-70% of the food is edible, but of this amount almost everything tastes off; either too bland, too salty, or just weirdly seasoned. The chicken wings were the most normal tasting thing there, aside from the soda. The other 30-40% is not edible. For example the fried shrimp was bad and had a very strange soft squishy texture and large amounts of cut fruit were rotten and falling apart. The service was not terrible. Atmosphere wise, the restaurant is pretty run down and the carpets are filthy and look like theyve had 20-30 years of foot traffic and various buffet sauces spilled on them with no cleaning. The buffet area itself however looked fairly clean. I want to support independent local businesses whenever I can but overall Id say you could have a better and more satisfying experience at any major fast food chain. This is just my subjective opinion so take it with a grain of salt... but its also my honest truth.

Meh.... Like any other buffet, they have some good foods and some not so good foods. The Chinese food was good, the sushi bar was kind of generic and tasted mass produced. But the desserts? Stay away! I tried like 6 diff things and they were all awful! Dry, tasteless and the brownies tasted like chemicals. The place was pretty clean and well kept for a buffet, the drink refills service was also pretty fast.

Never and Im being honest NEVER go here if you want to catch something or get food poisoned, oh my god. I never post reviews but i have to, these people are AI generated because nothing about this place is good. Dont delete my review or i will post again and again. Every food in there is cold. The pizza tasted so gross I gagged, who tf makes sour dough pizza, like the cheese was so disgusting. The place is so old looking i feel bugs. The seats are ripped. Someone was bombing the restroom and asking for help because how bad the food got to them. If your genuinely posting a good review you probably only ate the fried chicken and i honestly would just go to KFC for that. Save your money and yourself.

Best crawfish ever had in the buffet. Free soda is smart. Good business!

This places makes mediocre look mediocre. All the hot food was cold or lukewarm and had been out for awhile. All the chilled food was mildly cool at best. Oysters were on ice but weren’t cooled. Ice cream was gritty and flavorless. Wouldn’t recommend
