King Buffet is located in Restaurant Row at Hospitality Lane. I had not visited this location in many years, if I recall correctly it was formally South China Seas Buffet. An acquaintance had recently visited for lunch and had recommended.
From the outside of the King Buffet, one would think it to be nothing more than a cheap buffet. But never judge a book by its cover. The buffet included various dishes ranging from sushi to pizza. There was a salad bar that included some other cold items like olives, eggs, and crab. There was also a large assortment of fruit in the fruit bar which included honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple, bananas, oranges, and other delightful tasting fruits. Along with the fruit was some tapioca and chocolate pudding. For the main dishes, there was excellent choices. I especially enjoyed the BBQ beef as well as the orange chicken. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, the meat was not a small piece dipped in a huge amount of bread. And for seafood lovers there was salmon, scallops, crab legs, shrimp, and sushi. I saw many tables with King Crab legs piled high. The King Buffet also offered a Mongolian BBQ, where you choose items to cook with chow mien. The Mongolian BBQ included shrimp as a meat choice, the beef was a little chewy. Leave room for dessert! Their desserts include the ever delicious apple pie, lemon tarts, cream puffs, almond cookies, and other sweets. The service was very good, our server immediately removed dirty plates and refilled drinks. There were a big mix of customers, many Asians. I saw the owner of a local Vietnamese Restaurant dining with his family. King Buffet has a Lunch Special Monday through Thursday for $5.99, which is a great deal.
