Kingdom Buffet

A few of the shrimp items didn’t seem to be quite up to serving temperature. Surprised at the amount of crab dishes. Did find that some of the serving plates in the rack on the line were not clean, felt like leftover rice particles. Set them aside so they could be rewashed. Food was very flavorful along with a wide variety. Even though this was a buffet, the servers made sure you drinks were refilled and any dirty dishes were taken out of the way. They saw to your needs. Worth going back again.

Kingdom Buffet is your typical low-​quality and high-​quantity Chinese buffet. There are vats of fried everything. About 60 percent are obviously Chinese food: pot stickers or sweet and sour chicken. About 40 percent have unknown items in them or items that were labeled as «coconut shrimp» which were obviously nothing of the sort. I put one item entitled a «crab fritter» on my plate that definitely didn’t look like a crab, contained no crab, and no imitation crab inside of it.
The desserts and non-​Chinese options such as cookies looked prepackaged from the grocery store. Not exactly high quality food and if I could do it over, I probably would have gone somewhere down the street for lunch instead.
I will give Kingdom credit, that there servers are polite, the food was full and looked freshly cooked. The prices were also pretty reasonable for a lunch buffet at $ 8.95. Just not my kind of place. I likely wont be back.

Very good selection of dishes. Food was fresh, service was good, restaurant was clean. Loved the chicken and broccoli as well as the cheesy crab bake.

Decent selection in a city with limited number of good Chinese. Go Saturday afternoon or Sunday for fresh clams and crawfish.

Everything was great! We thought all the food was delicious, fresh and hot. There was delicious shrimp, snow crab, and basic sushi options. And the price was fair! We were very happy with our visit.

Pretty darn good. Tons of food that was fresh and hot. Clean and modern. Only 4 star because i couldnt find lo mein but tons of other delicious food

Food Posioning waiting to happen!
After having a bad experience here several years ago, decided to give it a try again, since some friends wanted to go there. Should have stayed away. didn’t take much on my first (and only plate of food) about 5 items. Took a bite of the piece of sushi I got and spit it out because it tasted old. Then took a bite of this peppery chicken dish, it was cold, so spit it out. Then tried this beef dish just tatsed ok, but the beef was on the leathery side, So may of had 2 bites of that. Then had a piece of shamui, that actaully was warm and tasted fine (probably bought from a store in the frozen section). And finally tasted a steamed bun, that I was expecting to contain meat, but was disappointed that it contained mung bean. I am susrprised this place hasn’t been shutdown due to it’s unsafe food practices. You need to keep hot food hot, and cold food cold, or someone is going to get sick.
Also the waiter went to grab another person’s plate at the table, and spilled all over the chair of the person that was out getting food, and just took off without saying anything. When we flagged him down, he didn’t even say he was sorry. Just wiped it up and left.
Then when we went to pay, told the cashier how disappointed I was and she didn’t even say nothing. Finally I said I ate like 3 small spoonfuls of food and you are not even going to offer a discount. Finally she did return some money.
Very disappointed will not be back.
Stay away, if would don’t want to get sick or go hungry.

Excellent Buffet … Craw Fish, Pork Ribs, many options. Soups are very tasty not over salty at all and very flavorful. New family staple for us in Rochester!

We were frequent customers, until we had three cockroaches in our booth and were told they’re crumbs. I’ve never seen running crumbs in my life. It was clearly roaches. When I called the olmsted county health dept, they said there has been numerous complaints about the roach infestation.

Very nice selection of typical Western Chinese food on the buffet. As a bonus, they have a large and tasty selection of Americanized sushi. If you are in the mood for this type of food (we all get those cravings), Kingdom Buffet will make you very happy.
The most notable aspect of the place? The owner/​manager that works here. I’ve never seen such an attentive employee. He ran (I’m not kidding, he literally ran quickly) around the place making sure everyone was happy, that the food met his standards, and that the place was spotless (Kingdom Buffet was one of the cleanest Chinese Buffets I’ve ever visited). The employees and service definitely get a ⁵⁄₅ stars.
The price includes a soft drink and ranges from $ 10 – 15 a person.

Ok place with over cooked food and dirty patrons frequenting the food bars. Nice assortment of fried and steamed food. I’ve seen much better and I’ve seen much worse.

I used to come to this place once, but I’m pretty sure that it’s gonna be second time :) for me, everything is good. Nice people and delicious food. yum yum yum

One of the freshest buffets I have been to, no matter what the time.
They also have a mongolian grill and a small sushi bar, but don’t get too excited. The sushi bar primarily has small rolls with immitation crab and a lot of rice. But it’s something, and it’s never been bad. They also have an ice cream bar (that includes green tea ice cream), dessert bar, fresh fruits and veggies, and a variety of Asian and American dishes. Great for hangovers!

The Buffett is huge. $ 8.95 for lunch. $ 11.95 M– Thursday for evening buffet and $ 12.95 for Friday and Saturday evening.
The Mongolian Grill did not have a ton of different choices, but it was the best food there.
The sushi was basic and it was super Americanized. All of the seafood from the coconut shrimp, to the salmon, to the sushi, was pretty ho-​hum.
For non-​Chinese eaters there were quite a few options available: pizza, criss-​cross fries and meatloaf are a few I remember.
The service was fast and timely. They did have plenty of baked sweets and 8 kinds of ice cream that I didn’t have the stomach space to try.
All 4 of us at the table found plenty of food we liked to eat, would go back if we come back to Rochester just because it has such a broad selection.

First buffet that I would recommend. The food was fresh, you actually got refills on soda. And back to the food again, they had a huge variety! Give them a try, I don’t think you’ll be sorry.

I have eaten there a few times and I severely dislike the place. The food has always been cold to luke warm and I am fairly certain that my wife and I have gotten food poisoning from there. Also, the chef for the mongolian grill was very rude and yelled at me, twice, for using too much sauce. The wait staff is only so-​so. They are prompt about getting plates removed and refilling drinks but other than that, they have a general «don’t give a S#!T» attitude.

I’ve eaten here several times, usually for the Sunday buffet. The selection of food is amazing, and all of it is very good. The staff is polite and friendly, the setting is comfortable and clean. Excellent value, excellent food, excellent service. If you have children, bring pennies for them to throw in the fountain!

This place is great. If you like authentic Chinese food, stay away. If you love phony midwestern Chinese food, this is the place for you.
They have all of the usual Chinese buffet stuff, but better quality. When it’s fresh it can’t be beaten, and they do a respectable job of turning the food over and keeping it fresh. They also have mongolian BBQ and sushi, but I didn’t try either one. For desert there are 8 flavors of ice cream, and baked sweets. They also have a lot of american items for that crazy member of your family that doesn’t like Chinese food.
