D & K Buffet — Restaurant in East Orange

I went to this restaurant with my children, after picking them up from school. It was around 3:20pm when I got there. Apparently they have a lunch buffet, and then the dinner buffet, so the pricing is different. We just went there to eat, we weren’t thinking of the buffet prices, ok? So apparently the lunch buffet ends at 3:30pm, no problem. When we got there, the guy at the entrance told us we made it in time for the lunch buffet. The young lady waiting to seat us seemed to have a problem with that. So we are on our way to be seated, and she says to us, you will have to be charged for dinner buffet. I said, No, we were told we are to be charged for the lunch buffet, but she was so nasty about it! Really lady? I mean rolling her eyes and the whole bit. I asked her what her problem was? She said ok, I will charge you for the lunch buffet, but when dinner comes out you cannot eat. Is this woman serious? I turned all shades of crazy on that woman. I told that woman off so bad. What in the world? Are you serious? What do you care miss? We are here to eat at your establishment, and you just lost 4 customers because you want an extra $2? See ya! I usually don’t dine at this place, but I had heard they cleaned this place up. Let me explain. About 2 years ago I got the potatoes and onions from the buffet. There was a COCKROACH in my food. I told the manager, he said they were having problems with roaches but that they were fixing the problem. Nice to hear from the manager, made the situation SO much better. I had not been back there since. This was 2 years ago. But like I said, I heard they were doing better, I figured the health department had to be involved some kind of way and they were not shut down, so I decided to give it a try. I have read reviews on different sites about this place, it seems like they still have a problem with Roaches AND RODENTS! People, stay away from this place. Glad I did walk out yesterday. Check out reviews about this place on other sites. They need to do something about their nasty attitudes and their disgusting kitchen problems. Don’t waste your money there. Go to the new Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet place on Route 22 in Watchung, it is in the Blue Star Shopping Mall, it used to be Old Country Buffet, the food is...

Three of us went here for lunch. We had no problem at all, except maybe that the food could have been a little quicker coming from the kitchen to the steam tables.

If there was anything upsetting, it was that we witnessed a couple lads (Black) get charged up front on their way in, while everybody else (White) was paying on the way out. I guess that's how things work in this town.

Again, we had no complaints with the food. Never saw any bugs, or rats. Never saw the restrooms, so can't comment there. Price was reasonable for a lunchtime meal. And yes, English is their second language, so if you have anything to say outside of Yes, No, Please, or Thank you, you might do well to simplify your statement and speak a little bit...

They don’t even deserve 1 star!!!!! I’ve had the WORST EXPERIENCE TODAY 8/18/18 !!!!! I literally found a roach on my table while eating with my 3yr old & 10 year old sisters today !!! The scared look on their faces made me so upset. Yes I demanded my refund ! That was unacceptable!!! The main reason I’m upset is NOT ONCE did anyone one of the employees apologize, offer to sit us elsewhere (although I would refuse) or anything!!!! They all acted as if it was normal!!!! I’m so disgusted Chinese people are the nastiest people on this planet. They don’t support black businesses so why are we supporting them? It’s not even about the $24 I could make that in an hour it’s just the principle & the disrespect I...
