New King Buffet

Yesterday I ate at the King Buffet. I don’t know why it’s called the New King Buffet. Nothing has changed about it. I arrived there about 1:45pm. The food I got off the buffet was stone cold. I told the waitress and she did nothing. I called her over second time. I said it’s cold and she just looked at me. I told her I wanted it heated up. She stood there like a dummy. Finally she said something to the other worker and it was heated up in the microwave that’s sitting on a table near the register. This isn’t the first time the food wasn’t hot. But it was the worst time.

What an awesome surprise this place is. Our tour group found it while traveling. Very clean restaurant, food was pleasantly fresh and tasty (kind of surprising for a Chinese buffet). The staff were very accommodating and friendly… Even after we plopped 30 people on short notice in their place. Highly recommend.

The service was helpfully and friendly, that’s why I gave this place 1 star and not –2.
The buffet itself is meager and what little they offer is precariously positioned in the corner of the room so only a few people may visit the food trough at a time. As the line forms behind the buffet you are left hoping there are enough scraps left to piece together some semblance of a meal when it is your turn. I felt like the runt of the litter being muscled off the suckling teat by my fat, greedy liter mates. A bit dramatic I know…
When it was my turn at the trough, there was very little to choose from. The buffet itself did not look like it had been cleaned since the previous feeding. The almost empty bowl of egg drop soup formed a slimy crust along the inside of the bowl and buffet surface. It looked like some kind of Jackson Pollock vomit art.
I decided that I would grab a few items from the buffet and try to return when they freshened the inventory. As I ate my soup and scraps I happened to glance at the patron in front of me; starring right back was his hairy overweight plumbers crack. I then decided that I had enough and asked for my check.
So I guess if you are one of those people who make recommendations based on portion size then you might like this place because it’s a buffet, portion sizes are entirely up to you. If, however, you value taste and cleanliness for the love of all that is holy, avoid this place at all cost.

Were feeling in the mood for some Chinese buffet on the way up to Cedar Point, and used Unilocal app to identify this place. When we first pulled up it seemed sketchy — they don’t accept credit cards, the place was absolutely empty and the buffet was very small. However, once we got to taste the food those fears were put to rest.
First, every dish I tried tasted great and was at the proper temperature. I have been to too many Chinese buffets where the food is lukewarm/​cold (ahem ahem Hunan Gate in Ballston) — not the case here. I had a pile of lo mein, garlic chicken and broccoli, a pile of mushrooms and pork pieces, egg drop soup with crackers, shrimp balls and this dessert dish that I call «sugary donut balls» because I’m not sure what they are called or how else to describe them. Literally every one of these foods tasted great and it was hard to decide between them. Unfortunately, the plates were small so there was only so much you can fit on your plate per trip. Still, I stuffed myself silly as did the others. This amazing meal was super cheap also, around $ 7 per person.
Complaints: Please provide bigger plates for the lazy people who don’t want to make a billion trips, and please accept credit cards for the lazy people who don’t feel like finding an ATM to get cash. Obviously these complaints are trivial and I am definitely a fan. They need to come open up a buffet down in Virginia!

Quite good, the usual soups, about 15 hot appetizers and entrees, noodles, salads, etc., it is all freshly cooked, even in the middle of the afternoon. Their food seems to be lighter, less salt and oil, than most similar places. This is one of the few places in Bedford that I will take a visitor.

The buffet is what you would expect but if you want the really good stuff you have to order from the take out menu. I have always found them to be very accommodating the take out to be the best in the area.

Nice people, small selection, average food. There are a number of good restaurants in this area so I would not waste my time going here again.
