McKinney Chinese Buffet Discovery|A "Twin Surprise"
Driving past this Asian Buffet, I almost exclaimed out loud—isn’t this a mirror image of the perennially packed King Buffet from South Dallas?! From the mint‑green exterior walls to the golden dragon‑pattern screens inside, even the plating angle of the sweet‑and‑sour spare ribs🍛 Taste‑Test Report ✅ Near‑Perfect Replicas: The sizzle of Mongolian beef on the iron plate (even the chef’s sauce‑pouring technique is identical) The “shrimp tempura rolls” in the sushi section arranged like flower petals The always‑missing bowl of marshmallows next to the chocolate fountain at the dessert station ✅ Unexpected Upgrades: ✨ Newly added oyster‑grilling station (limit 2 per person per visit)✨ Korean spicy squid salad appearing in the cold‑dish section✨ Matcha‑flavor ice cream in the soft‑serve machine (King Buffet only has vanilla/chocolate) 💰 Price‑Code Decoded Lunch $12.99|Dinner $16.99 (exactly the same as King Buffet) Hidden deal: Show any Asian supermarket membership card for $1 off Drink bar now includes bubble tea (additional $3.99, but free refills) 📈 No‑Wait Strategy ⏰ Best times: Saturday right at 11:00 AM opening / Tuesday 5:30 PM before senior discount hours 🚗 Parking tip: 5 hidden spots next to the loading zone behind the building 👨👩👧👦 Group trick: Parties of 6+ can call ahead to reserve the “Dragon‑Pattern Round‑Table Area” 🍍 The Ultimate Test I ordered King Buffet’s signature “pineapple sweet‑and‑sour pork”—even the canned pineapple brand was unchanged. At checkout, I couldn’t help telling the cashier auntie, “You guys are so similar to King Buffet.” She winked: “Only smart people notice that secret.” #McKinney#McKinneylife#McKinneyfood#McKinneytravel#McKinneyguide#fooddiary#Texas
