King Buffet

Came in with my kids. Place was busy. We had to wait 15 minutes to get table which was not bad based on amount of people waiting. Place was clean. They had a lot of variety of seafood. Service was good. Food was bland. It’s buffet food, don’t expect a good to be seasoned. Overall, it was ok. Price about $19 per person without drink.

I visited King Buffet with my friends and we had a great experience! One of the best buffets I can say. There were so many varieties of food, everything was fresh and tasty. It’s affordable price, Definitely worth it. I would love to visit again!

A full buffet for under $20? I’m in! Tasty and fresh. Clean and to the point. Nothing too fancy but a solid meal option if you want to get the most bang for your buck.

King Buffet | Richardson, TX 🍣🥢 Listen, if you think buffets are all about chaos and sad food trays, think again. King Buffet is here to flip that script—clean, sharp, and seriously aesthetic, this place has it all and then some. From the moment you walk in, you know this isn’t your average buffet. The setup? Immaculate. The vibe? Modern but inviting. You actually want to snap a pic (yes, finally a buffet that gets the selfie memo). 🍣 Sushi & Seafood Fresh doesn’t even start to cover it. Rolls made with precision, seafood so good it practically sings “eat me.” The sushi station is a legit highlight and a game-changer for buffet lovers. 🥟 Dumpling Bar Okay, can we talk about the dumpling bar? I’m still jealous. Steaming baskets filled with all kinds of dumplings, each one more delicious than the last. It’s a dumpling lover’s dream come true and totally worth the visit on its own. 🥢 Hot Food & Variety From classic Chinese dishes to unexpected gems, the options are endless and well-executed. Crispy, flavorful, and not a soggy bite in sight. You can tell they care about quality and presentation. ✅ Pros: Clean and stylish space that makes buffet dining feel upscale. Sushi and seafood that rival standalone restaurants. Dumpling bar that’s straight-up drool-worthy. Huge variety with fresh, tasty options. Friendly staff who keep things running smooth. 🤷‍♀️ Cons: It’s so good, you might need a second stomach. (Not really a con.) Peak hours get busy—come hungry and maybe a little patient.

This is a fantastic Chinese buffet that truly stands out! The quality and variety are superb, with everything tasting fresh—from the crispy fried items to the extensive sushi bar. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast, and the overall value is unbeatable. I had an excellent experience and definitely plan to visit again soon!

their seating system is not fare - If you have a large group they seat you before the people 15 minutes ahead of them. I recommend you tell them you have a large group and when they call your number early - just tell them the rest of the group cancelled - maybe this will teach them to think about the customer and not just the crazy money they are making Your response lacks common sense. Your tables are 4's moved together to make large tables. It is clear your response is still about money and not customer service. I still think the best advice is just say you have a large group when it is actually just 4 or less. This way your thoughts about dollars will lead to better customer service or grab two numbers one for a small group and one for a large group to see which one is called first.

Super nice service, my waiter was absolutely adorable! Food is good. Nothing crazy, but goof variety, a lot of seafood, decent sushi and rolls.

Wide variety of choices! Probably the best buffet I have had around the similar price range. I like the fresh fishes! And they provide lots of small crabs at night! Besides, there are dim sum on the side! Worth to try it!

OMG - first time visit as visiting from out of town. Lots of parking and tables. Wow what a selection and they really keep the dishes well stocked and hot and clean. Service was good - promptly seated and drink order taken. Good visit enjoyed the food

It is your typical Chinese buffet with a plethora of fried items, mid sushi, and rows and rows of hot and cold food items. This buffet was so packed on a weeknight during dinner time. Almost no more tables were available by six/seven pm. The booths and tables are very close in proximity so be prepared to be squeezing in and out of your seat when you return to the buffet for more. The buffet area is not very clean and the staff do not come often to sanitize from what I see. Plates are stacked high for the volume of guests they have and food is constantly replaced though! They have a few rows of cold food items including salads, slaws, and chilled seafood including squid and shrimp. Hot food items include anything from chicken wings, sesame balls, eggrolls, cream cheese rangoons, to soups, stir fried veggies, noodles, fried rice, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, kung pao chicken, and much more...you get the idea. However, a notable mention is their dim sum area. They have several types of buns, chicken feet, pork shumai, beef tripe, beef offal, beancurd rolls, and more. The quality of said items are very mid and cannot compare to an actual dim sum restaurant though I do appreciate the variety. The sushi bar has fried maki rolls, regular sushi rolls, as well as sashimi and sushi besides the seaweed salad, picked ginger, served with wasabi and soy sauce. These items are also plentiful but not exactly fresh and tasty if you know what I'm saying! Desserts include stale cakes, jello, pudding, watery soft serve ice cream from their machine, and chocolate fondue with fruit/marshmallow skewers. The price of the buffet varies like all other typical Chinese buffets, depending if its a weekday, weekend, lunch or dinner time, and whether or not its a holiday. They offer kids prices and senior discounts as well. The restroom was also ick. Overall, nothing really stood out to me at this buffet and I wouldn't come back again because there are so many better buffets at a similar price point. Unfortunately this has been one of the most disappointing Chinese buffets I've been to though both the variety and the service deserves a star...I wish I like it more.

They have so many food options, from sushi to dim sum to the Mongolian grill; there's even a chocolate fountain and ice cream machine for dessert. They restock everything pretty frequently. This place is very busy, and there's always a waiting list on weekend evenings to be seated. It's first-come-first-serve seating (no reservations), so they give you a number and call the numbers down the list. It doesn't take too long and is worth the wait.

What a busy busy night on Labor Day! I was shocked to see so many people here but also excited because that meant the food was turning quickly and fresh! I wasn't a fan of everything I ate but there are so many options and a lot of the it is really good. Buffet food can be tricky but these people know what they are doing. They had crawfish tonight and BOY were people piling their plates high with them. I really wish the snow crab legs were available. Must be on other days that they have those. Service was great. Drinks stayed filled and empty plates were removed quickly.

The men's lavatory was among the absolute filthiest I'd ever seen. If the restroom is this nasty and smelly and wet I dare think about how the kitchen is kept. Party of ten arrived Sunday to a thirty minute wait. Once seated, our server was attentive and not intrusive. No complaints on any of the food anyone had. The dining area seemed cramped with barely enough room to walk between tables.

Absolutely the best Chinese buffet I have eaten at in the Dallas area. They have a large selection of food to choose from Including your typical Chinese buffet Foods, American foods, an awesome assortment of sushi and California rolls and they even have a Mongolian Grill / hibachi. On top of having really awesome food they are extremely clean in my opinion compared to other Chinese buffets even with being extremely busy they maintain standards. With great food comes along lines or at least on the weekends anyways, So be prepared to wait for a little bit to be seated or do what we do and go early to beat the dinner rush. *Poor *Decent *Ok *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Prices. Good Food. Great Service. Great Cleanliness. Great Consistency. Great Variety. Great Value. Great

IS THAT BUFFET GOOD? YES KINGGG.... HOW GOOD IS THAT BUFFET?!? AMAZINGGGG Let's just say I ate like a KING here (pun) Owo. I love their food. Let me tell you the sushi was like super buss (slang for delish) I always enjoy their food and their service. The servers were always asking.. is that food good? And I would say yes KINGG. I love their dessert bar I was swimming in that chocolate fountain. I felt like I was in cloudy with a chance of meatBALLS ya heard! Love the ambiance here it rocks! Photo down below: with the chicken nuggets I felt like a LION PIZZA CHICKEN!! HAHA SUSHI YUM YUM YUM

We went for lunch on Sunday and it was packed! We had to wait a little bit to get seated but it didn't feel like it was that long. Once we got seated, it was a breeze! They constantly filled the trays and I didn't see any empty trays while I was there. Food was good, typical buffet quality. I wish they had boiled crab legs instead of the fried ones. The fried crabs were okay, I didn't go back for more. Honestly, the best thing was the fresh baked bread that I got as soon as they brought it out.

Overall, I think this is a pretty great buffet for the price. There's an expansive selection including all of your typical buffet selections as well as sushi, hibachi, and a dumpling bar! The staff are always attentive and nice as well. This is probably one of my favorite local buffets.

This is my second time at King buffet and we had a really good experience . Buffets in my option can be hit or miss. Either the service is poor because of the heavy traffic , or the food isn't good or replenished in time . This was not the case however when we came here . Located off the service road in Plano, King Buffet made sure I ate like a king. Parking was spacious enough for the large crowd. We came during lunch which is the busiest time to come . People left and right and guarantee to be in a rush to get first dibs on some food. The way it works is you check in first at the front desk and they will either get you seated or have you take a number to be called when a table is available. Next the staff will seat you at a table , then it's off to the races. Such a wide variety of food, it's hard to miss out on anything you're craving . They have sushi , pizza , fried rice , wing, fried fish, desserts , and many more options. Everything was cooked fresh and the quality was also there too. Dining experience was satisfactory as they had they had the football game on . The waitresses made sure that our drinks were replenished and finished plates were taken away. They have soft drink and lemonade , plus plenty of condiments. Everything you could ask for in a buffet. Would highly recommend.

Food is good for a buffet. It gets busy and the patrons are rude and will push you out of the way. Try to get a table away from the lines so you can eat in peace.

It wasn't very good. The food tasted just ok and I felt somewhat nauseous after the meal. The soups were not flavorful, the sushi had plenty of options but didnt taste great and there werent any items that were better than mediocre. The mongolian grill's beef wasnt very good either. The server brought us the bill while my nephew was still eating which some could consider rude but i didnt mind cuz i was ready to get out of there.

Food was hot and they great a great variety! I would like to learn more about the habachi though and I would like them to label the sushi.

The food was really really good!!! A very good quality!! They never ran out of food !! The service was wonderful!! Nice and clean!! Didn't have to wait along time in line

I've been coming here for over a decade in Plano. Imo, the best Chinese buffet around period! The food is great overall! Sushi and Mongolian grill is top notch! And this is important, they bring out plenty of items for all to get there fill. This place is always busy lunch n dinner. Place is clean and large. All the staff is friendly and look out for you. Darren, I believe, is one the the manager at front and he is always welcoming, remembers you, amd greets you promptly. Tried many other buffetts and no one comes close to King buffet!

One of the better Chinese buffets in the Dallas area. The selection of crabs is pretty decent. You'll get your moneys worth is crab. The sushi is pretty disappointing. Wishing there was more pure sashimi instead of all the fish being added to rice. The hot food is your basic fare with nothing standing out. Not a terrible experience but definitely good price for the experience. Since it's very busy, the food is always fresh so you'll never have to worry about old food sitting out.

King Buffet has expansive selection of offerings on the buffet: appetizers, entrees and desserts. We thought everything was pretty good and buffet is reasonably priced. Service was excellent.

Count on us and many others for Christmas lunch here again. We got seating for two right away while 2pm groups had to wait. Not that many tables for 6 or more. Great food and service as always. Staff very attentive to clear the used dishes to make room for more. Yummy. Be sure to look around for your favorites and a few new ones (hint: dessert). Plenty of parking in rear or east side of restaurant.

When you grew up as a Vietnamese, you have probably been to every single Chinese buffet in town like I have. Out of all the Chinese buffets that I've eaten in Kansas and Dallas, King Buffet is probably the best one for the price, food options, and quality. Every time my parents visit, this is the first place that we would go together. My mom loves the seafood options here, aka the fried blue crabs, crawfish, baked fish, etc. I usually go for the nigiri, fries, crawfish, and corn/potatoes. All the dishes are very solid for buffet quality, and taste good as well. I like their crawfish boil a lot, and if you visit during the weekend, they will serve bigger crawfish compared to weekday dinners. The chocolate fountain and soft serve machine are also a great throwback to my childhood as well. The price is $16 per person for dinner, which is pretty good compared to other buffets in town. Don't come here if you're expecting high-quality food, because it's not going to do that. This is the place to go if there are multiple cravings, and you can't decide on where so the buffet is perfect for everyone. They don't charge for leftovers as well which is nice because I like to sample a little bit of this and that when I visit.

It's a lot more expensive now and it isn't really as good but they don't have much competition anymore. As of summer 2025, the lunch buffet is $15 and the soda is $3. No crab legs of any kind, no fried shrimp, no ribs, and no crawfish are to be found--I assume some of them are on the dinner buffet only. There are many chicken dishes but the quality varies. I had at least one chunk so dry and old I couldn't swallow it. Most weren't that bad There's a section for dim sum with warnings to be careful because they are hot. But friends, they are not hot. In fact, they are at a level of warm that invites bacterial growth and I suspect may have caused some later discomfort. It could have also been the sushi selection which wasn't much (possibly reduced for lunch) and was mostly packed rice but it didn't really seem off. They do have good eggrolls and other fried food but they didn't have regular dumplings that used to be common to all buffets. Waiters refilled drinks at first then disappeared. They seem a bit territorial so someone refilling the person next to you will leave you to go without. I resent that you can't get your own drink in these places. We get robots everywhere we don't want them but we still have to tip at a buffet. Weird, huh? Desserts were ok. There's a moose in a tiny individual plastic container that's pretty good--grab two of them. There's a soft serve machine. I can't bring myself to trust a chocolate fountain. I don't think they have real banana pudding anymore which also used to be common on these buffets. I found myself missing a lot of things for the price. And if it's gonna be like that there's just not much advantage for me over getting superior quality takeout somewhere else. But if you have to have buffet and don't want Indian food or pizza, this is about all there is.

We've dined here 3x now so I can leave an honest review. I found out about this buffet from a popular mukbang YouTuber. They have a location in Arlington as well. I've been to Great Wall in Plano a bunch of times and it's just not good lol. King blows Great Wall out of the water. They have a HUGE selection of food! It's your standard Chinese buffet but with so much more. The weekends are packed! We waited about 30-40 minutes on a Sunday evening. My personal favorite is the salt and pepper crab and shrimp. They constantly restock it unlike other buffets that let it disappear and you have to wait long for another tray to come out. They also have cold seafood, shrimp and mussels. There's a Mongolian noodle station, a variety of sushi, salad, fruit and a chocolate fondue fountain. The soups are just ok, they tasted oily and bland. The servers are constantly coming by to refill drinks and take away plates. It's 17 a person for dinner so it's a great deal for the family!

It wasn't too bad of a wait on a Saturday night for a party of 9 so I like that, lots of options but not a lot of vegan/vegetarian. Seafood was overcooked

They need to improve on cleaning, service, and quality of food. There was literally mold on my Jello and my plate was dirty. This place is horrible

We came on a Friday night, and there was a little bit of a wait, maybe 15-20 minutes but it went by quick! The restaurant was PACKED with lots of people at the buffet line. The food itself has always been good. It is definitely not super high quality but it satisfies the cravings for a chinese buffet. They have a great variety of foods including crawfish, crab, orange chicken, lo mein, shrimp, squid, sushi, dumplings, etc. They have gloves and hand sanitizer near the buffet for anyone who wants to use it. They also had lots of good fruit like watermelon out! We tried the stir fry station as well but it was pretty mediocre, lacking flavor. They still offer a senior discount (10% off) and senior hours on the weekdays! Overall, this is the place to go when you are craving a good chinese buffet!

Food is pretty average and so are prices. Come here for variety but you'll get the same basic buffet items and mediocre taste. The fried crabs tasted okay. The fried plantains were good as were the sesame balls. Service was acceptable and we had plates removed when needed. Tried the ice cream but it was lacking milk and tasted like mostly ice. There are not a lot of dessert options and perhaps I'm spoiled by the typical colored cakes I see common in most Chinese buffets.

Oh man I wanna love this place. But the fact is- this place is DIRTY. I saw some child take his bare hands and grab a piece of (maybe it was orange chicken?) ...sniff it, take a bite of it, make a face that he didn't like it, and PUT IT BACK IN THE FOOD TRAY It's constantly packed in there and no one watches their kids so they're just running around. There are ALOTA of choices. And it is cheap. And they keep the food coming out consistently. All the staff was nice and attentive. But I can't help but feel that everything I touched (utensils,plate, counters,tables etc..) was sticky. I felt grossed out that I ate something in there. Like I was gonna get gastrointestinal disease down the line.

The service is great and the dishes were delicious. We were there for the dinner. It consisted of seafood, brisket, dim sum, Mongolian beef, and desert. We were impressed by the selection and taste. Great value. Plenty of parking. Should be 4 and half stars

For a Buffett this place was great! The pricing for what is offered is fair. The food is good quality and they restock them very frequently. The waiter and waitresses also comes to the get the plate very frequently too. I have a very picky toddler, so I like how they have American food all on one side too. My family and I have came here multiple times and we enjoy it a lot. We bring family here too when they come into town to visit. Would definitely recommend the place.

Service was great. Food was average though. Pretty much your run of the mill buffet. There was some food I didn't really like but my overall experience was pretty average. Not sure if I'll be coming back.

Went to the Plano location for lunch and it was awesome. Everything was hot and fresh. Great place for a diverse array of food to try.

I hadn't been to King Buffet in many years, but since we had family in town and they wanted something easy and affordable, we ended up stopping by. Wait time on a Sunday night ended up being around 40 minutes; my aunt and uncle got there around 6 and our whole party of 10 was seated by 6:40. I can't say that I'd been craving the cheap Asian buffet experience, and after trying some of the food here it's easy to see why. Most of the cooked dishes were either overly sauced or overly salted, and the seafood options were actively bad. We didn't realize snow crab legs were only a Friday night (?) offering now, so that was a disappointment, but the fried seafood was heavily breaded and the crawfish had a mushy texture. I basically only had one plate of food and was done from the sodium bombs. It's honestly a talent to be able to overcook steamed fish, but King Buffet managed it. And I can't even think about the sushi section without sighing; I didn't bother trying any of the sad-looking raw fish nigiri or the rice-heavy rolls. The only saving grace of the one eel nigiri I tried was the sauce that came with it. The best part of my meal was the sugary fried dough that they have in the aisle with the rest of the fried foods, and the fruit bar. The chocolate fondue fountain is probably some sort of health code violation; we saw a bunch of kids sticking their hands into it. The soft serve was super icy that day too. I suppose the value is good if you're just looking to fill up, but it's shocking to me how packed and busy this place is all the time. Personally, I will not be returning in the future, even if family is involved :P

What in the Gary Busey is going on here? Took my two kids here last night and it was packed at 4:45pm. Like Jason Momoa in a medium Tshirt packed. You couldn't even stand inside. I won't gripe about the wait since it was a Saturday but I will say I don't get it. We waited about 25 min, which wasn't terrible, for buffets that were 17.99. Not worth it. We all spent the night in stomach pain thanks to bad seafood. We only went thinking for this price they'd have crab, but nope and maybe that's a good thing. All the seafood was fishy and even the fried stuff was iffy. Bill was 61 and change and I paid $80 and asked for change, which my waiter did NOT want to bring. Sorry, but I'm not tipping nearly $20 on a buffet, especially since we only did one trip and decided to leave. The table we were sat at was next to the bathroom and the AC was leaking from the ceiling into my oldest's food. We were claustrophobic and just left, chalking it up to a learning lesson. No more buffets like this.

This has got to be one of the better Chinese buffets that you'll ever go to. Come on, it's an Asian buffet.. what do you expect? Expect nothing!! Just go in with no expectations. You won't get disappointed if you don't have any expectations. You are paying for convenience, not quality!! However, the taste and quality at this buffet is better than any other in the DFW metroplex. They have sushi, salad, soups, fried foods, baked foods, crabs, crawfish, Mongolian bar, and shrimps! They've got it all!! It's only $16/person for dinner and weekends. That's a steal!

Typical buffet with many options. They have beef, baked Salmon, many chicken dishes. I love their friend chicken wings and the Buffalo wings was pretty good too. They have clams, mussels, crab, shrimp. They have corn thats cooked louisiana style. There's also a few vegetable dishes. They also have pizza, chinese donuts , garlic bread, dinner rolls. They also have a Mongolian station where you create your own bowl of goodies and have the guy cook it for you. The Japanese section was okay too. For dessert, they have a full section. I only went for the soft ice cream. It was very good. Service was good. For the price, $14.++ you can't beat this.

Amazing food and great service. The ambience was awesome while also a little crowded, they handled it nicely.

What a charming place! The food is never ending... Delicious! This was worth the extra pound I gained. King Buffet I love everything you have! I'll be back

Went with my family tonight to celebrate my dads 70th birthday I have an allergy so I'm usually very careful I choose to have them make no my food so that I would know there was nothing bad in it. Well I was wrong there was shrimp in my food that I didn't put there. I spoke to the manger who didn't apologize but told me I should not eat it and that they have signs up. He also told me the cook has no way to clean the grill off. I would have been ok with an apology but got nothing!

King Buffet in Ardmore I was there I had hard. Piece of shells in my noodle and rice. It hard my mouth because they were hard and sharpe. I would like someone to contact be back please. Thank you at. lindaderaad58@gmail.com

Lots of choices. So many options. There were quite a few sushi options and dim sum too. Service was good and the kept the food restocked. The food was good for a buffet. The place is large and good for families.

The food was subpar. Salmon sushi looked like it had been sitting there sometime. Crab cakes tasted undercooked. Everything tasted off. Hibachi grill cook had a very nasty attitude, informed the manager and he did absolutely nothing. Took half and hour to notify me that food was finished cooking on hibachi and it was cold so the cook was still playing games. Plenty of places to go eat, will not waste money on as this location is going downhill and management does not address the problems.

It's OK, but some people might get sick if they eat it's amazing. Please go eat it. Thank you. Everybody you guys are the best.

Stopped by here for to-go lunch and food was excellent!! While checking out I realized I forgot the soup and Rita at the front offered to go get it for me! Phenomenal service!! Thanks King Buffet!

Just ate here today, 10/21/22. And I honestly don't know how this can have any 1-stars. My experience was complete 5-star satisfaction. I arrived close to doors open to eat the food while it's freshest. If you arrive late, then I'd recommend foods that hold up better reheated, like non-fried/non-breaded stuff. The crab rangoon and potstickers were my favorite. Also loved that they had sushi too. The fact that they're able to produce so much tasty food at only ~$12 (~$15 after tax + tip for lunch) tells me this is the mark of hard working staff and incredible management. Other comparable buffets I've gone to, usually are $20-30+ easily. So this buffet is perfect for sampling without feeling obligated to overstuff yourself.

I've been here many times in the past, but I guess I never wrote a review about it, so, I'm going to write one from today's visit. Only thing I really like about this place is they cook your food for you Mongolian bbq style. I love my vegetables and tofu with the seasonings of my choice. It's absolutely delicious. As for other food, I'm not sure. I wished I took pictures of questionable food like Sushi, but I was playing safe and had 2 pieces of California rolls, bc I was scared to try the raw fish. I gave this place 3 stars, bc the pizza was good and Cajun corn and of course, Mongolian stir fried veggies and tofu. Our server was attentive. PB was very upset as he doesn't like this place, but he was being a good sport, bc I like the Mongolian style. He asked me never to bring him here again as he was not pleased with the food they had to offer. Plus, their ice cream is like ice milk from the 80's and though I wanted to try the Flan, I had no more room in my stomach. Now, I got my fix, I'm good for awhile. If I'm going to spend this type of money($41 plus tip, $48), I want to go somewhere with good quality of food, then I will be more than happy to pay for it. This place is huge and busy and the ambiance is good!! I really enjoyed people watching there too.

Great food, great service. Price is wayyyy affordable for the amount and variety of food they offer. Definitely worth the trip! One of the best buffets i have ever been to! I keep coming back!

Food is usually pretty good with huge variety for range of tastes. Mongolian Grill section is best imo, sushi is also good and pretty freshly made (not to order but I've watched them making the ones they set out on buffet). Hot buffet is pretty good overall, sauces just ok.

The food selection was great, even though I usually got fried rice and orange chicken. The waiter was very nice and helpful because he would always come to check on us and refill our drinks. The ambiance really fits with the food, the only thing that made it four star was that some children get charged as adults, that's the only thing.

It was really good the interior was really nice and clean this was my first time going here and I was speechless of how good the food was and we even got fortune cookies so that proves that this is a Chinese restaurant because I thought it was an Asian restaurant

Dinner time crowded people waiting on the line, good thing you don't have to wait too long. Average 5-15 minutes. Inside very spacious, also a lot of people. Now, let's talk about food. Variety of food is huge, they have sushi rolls section, also they have Mongolian cuisine , pick any raw food, (meat, chicken, shrimp, tofu, a lot of vegetables) grab your sauce and bring them to chef. Because of a lot of people you might wait around 15-20min but it worth it. Baaaang very delicious. There are also another section of foods. You will find a lot of type Chinese foods, seafood... You should just check!
