China King Buffet

One of the best Chinese buffets I've had to date. And to think it was in a little town in Kansas. The toughest parts is the parking and how many trips you can take to the buffet before your judged by locals. The place was clean and the food was fresh and flavorful. Looking forward to going again next time I'm in town.

I had gotten an order for take out. While the food was okay (nothing exciting or worth returning right away) the price is the reason I won't be coming back. For 3 take out boxes it was $42! The boxes weren't accommodating for that price either. For that $42 price tag alone I will not be returning nor will I be recommending it either. It's too bad too because when the first opened the price to eat was fair and the food was good.

Unexpected pleasant surprise. The outside of the premises is utilitarian at best, and the interior is a little better. Ambiance is that of an inexpensive oriental buffet, so this was a little of a shot in the dark for a Friday dinner surprise. Well, the food spread is much better than what the atmosphere would suggest. We (party of four) found an abundance of properly cooked shellfish (e.g. shrimp. scallops, mussels) prepared in many different styles, some US-Chinese food mainstays (e.g. beef broccoli, dumplings, etc.), several concessions to US favorites (e.g. french fries, fried chicken (neither tasted)), you name it. Fun for me in these set-ups is to taste a tablespoon of everything found appealing, which I practically did, and I must say nothing was bad, most was competent, and very little was relatively disappointing. Unbelievable (if you don't mind a very simple ambience), for a tab around $50 for the entire party of four (June 2022), before drinks. My stars guide: 1-avoid, 2-disappointing, 3-competent, 4-preferred, 5-destination. 3 is a solid rating; 5 is very rare.

Food was so gross 😝 I literally tried a little of several dishes everything was soaked with oil, mushy Crab, fried shrimp, dumplings sub standard, cheese wontons I actually poured the oil onto my plate after biting a piece and there was standing oil, Waitress sat me at a dirty table with food and trash under there. Imagine having to run to the bathroom after only 6 bites of food. I am shocked because my co-worker came to work the other day and shared a skewer of meat with me so I thought sure why not stop in because it's to late for me to cook. BAD IDEA
