King’s Buffet

We’ve eaten here several times, not sure why I haven’t reviewed it yet. The hot sour soup is delicious, extensive salad bar including shrimps and crab salad, sushi which I have not tried. Many of the Chinese dishes are sub par. I.E. the General Tso chicken — the chicken pieces are usually very tough and hard to bite into. The chicken wings are delicious, shrimp tempura is great, at dinner time you can get a steak cooked for you and there is usually roast beef. Sometimes excellent sometimes a little overdone. There is a large fruit selection and desserts, of course the usual ice cream and best of all a fabulous selection of high end cakes such as chocolate mousse, tiramisu, cheesecake, Nanaimo bars etc. This is the only buffet I’ve been to that offers such an up scale selection of desserts. Good service, plates are cleared quickly, water refilled…

The quailty of this place just keeps declining. I mean no expects amazing food from a buffet but at least somewhat decent would be nice. With new buffets opening up in the kw area they better step their game back up.

We went here for lunch on a Sunday and I must say.. .I was impressed. A friend took me here on his recommendation and I was SERIOUSLY skeptical. I had been to the King’s Buffet in Guelph and it was ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING (now it’s Buffet Roll and it’s still revolting). But the King’s Buffet in Kitchener is quite a different story!
The food was hot and plentiful and although it’s not the BEST Chinese food I’ve ever had, it was certainly tasty and delicious. They also had a lot of options for vegetarian diets, which was surprising and awesome. Our server was attentive and our drinks were refilled quickly and frequently (it’s one of my pet peeves when you’re sitting around dying of thirst with an empty glass in front of you at the table and the server is nowhere to be found).
Honestly, I find there are a lot of bad Chinese food restaurants around and I often leave feeling both disappointed and ill. King’s Buffet in Kitchener, however, was not that. I would most certainly go again. And it was quite reasonable for the amount of food you get! If you’re looking for good Chinese food that will NOT make you want to barf, I definitely recommend the King’s Buffet in KITCHENER.

I love this place! Always have and always will! They need more sushi options because they didn’t have a whole lot to choose from. I love the food, nice variety. Wait staff could be a little more happy and smiley though!

I find this location offers a middle ground between Mandarin, with its high-​end prices, and other, lower-​quality Chinese buffets. King’s offers a reasonable selection of delicious Chinese food. For its prices you’re getting a good value and decent variety.

This place is decent. Your standard large Chinese chain buffet restaurant. The food was all decent. A couple of the dishes were cold but most was all hot and well prepared. The place is quite large so its great for groups and kids. I can’t recall how much it cost but I think it was reasonable.

The buffet is decent (though I find the placement of the dessert table next to the washroom a little troubling) but I will never again visit King’s Buffet after repeated bad experiences with their take out.
They have messed up my order every time I’ve ever gotten take out there (4 times). The first time I called to complain that they had forgotten an item (chicken balls) as well as the almonds for the chicken almond guy ding. The attitude of the woman on the phone was appalling. She kept telling me that SHE didn’t forget, as if I was accusing her personally. YOU may not have forgotten, but last I checked, you still work for the company that DID forget. After they told us we’d have to drive all the way back to the store to make an exchange (30 mins+ round trip) we said to just forget it. No compensation was offered.
They have also messed up the pricing on my order every time. The older gentleman used to throw in a few cans of pop to compensate, but he was missing the last time I was in. Again, the attitude of the staff is disgusting. I was told that it was «only» $ 3. That’s still $ 3 of MY money that you have taken for no reason. Learn some respect for your customers. In the meantime, I’ll be going to the Mandarin for my Chinese food.

Typical huge Chinese buffet — very kid-​friendly — and with the crowd I was with the night I visited — perfect. They also have a VIP card that gives you a discount every time you come. Almost paid back the investment on our first visit!

We always go to Kings Buffet, Love the food and being Seniors we get the discount of 20%, also you can buy the card for 10.00, it’s“s cheaper for us to go there than it is going to MacDonald’s for lunch… great place and the staff are always around to serve you. try it (:

Fairly typical buffet options. The food is plentiful, and at least when I went, it was fresh (it was a busy night, though, so this might have been a factor – i.e. they had to restock frequently because so many people were passing through). The shrimp was tender and the sushi was actually decent too (sometimes buffet sushi is meh – this stuff wasn’t the best sushi I’ve had, but it wasn’t the worst, either, and it was definitely fresh). Good selection of food and definitely worth trying if you enjoy the buffet experience!

This Kings location probably has the best service and selection of all the locations I’ve been to and I’ve been to quite a few. They outperform Cambridge, Guelph, Sudbury, North Bay and Hamilton. Bins are rarely empty and service is pretty good overall. Kings easily blows away Mandarin in the KW area for price versus selection. If you’ve never been and you’re a chineese buffet fan you have to try this place…
