We're locals and went to King Buffet for the first time. From the outside, the building looks a bit run down, but wasn't too bad inside. It was very clean, and our table and chairs looked newer.There weren't a lot of items, but still plenty to choose from, and a nice variety. Quite a few shrimp dishes which we liked. Everything we ate was warm and fresh, and they kept just enough food in each bin, and kept them replenished whenever they got too low. Nothing was overcooked, and was quite tasty. My dad loved the peanut chicken, and my wife loved the shrimp dishes, especially the salt & pepper shrimp, and we all really liked the butter shrimp & zucchini. The potstickers looked homemade and had a very nice flavor.They had a few selections in the fruit and salad bar (though not many salad toppings & only 1 choice of salad dressing that I saw), some mussels and peel & eat shrimp on ice, a few desserts (that my wife enjoyed), as well as several flavors of ice cream.Not a huge selection of sushi, but it makes sense on a slow night. It was all fresh, and mostly the basic choices. The seaweed salad was fresh and very good. I tried a mix of all 3 soups (wonton, egg drop, and hot & sour) and all were quite good. I also enjoyed the shrimp dishes, the pepper steak, and the dish with the big fresh mushrooms in it (I think beef or pork). The General Tso's Chicken was also tasty, though not too spicy. But if you like extra spice on your food, they had numerous choices of hot sauces.We went on a weekday, so it was a bit slow, though there were a few people that came in for takeout. The service was good, but it would be nice to at least see a smile on them. The price ($17.99/person) could probably be $1-$2 lower, but we didn't mind so much, given the number of shrimp dishes, everything tasted good, and I'm sure they're just trying to stay afloat, like many restaurants and small businesses rebounding from the pandemic. We'll certainly be back!

Another greedy business charging 12 year old children as adults. People should stop patronizing these places on principle.
