K&K Buffet & Cajun Seafood — Restaurant in New York

I've been to a number of these buffets and know what to expect. Given the location, I set my expectations even lower. Despite this, I was still disappointed.

Every chicken dish (be it teriyaki, sesame, or general tsos) was incredibly rubbery and somehow cold, despite being in the warmers. The sauces on their own were not very good either; very oily in a bad way (not like a chili oil way). Their pork was also gamey, which is impressive, considering pork is generally easier to cook than chicken. The fried whitefish was very tasteless, though I'll let it slide since seafood is a more blank canvas. The items themselves were rarely replaced. For example, I noticed 1, single, sad dumpling on a warmer my entire time eating there. It was very dry and unbecoming, so nobody would take it, and a new batch wasn't ever brought. The wonton soup was just a pot of broth devoid of wontons. The hot and sour soup had an inch-thick glaze on it, indicative of nobody having even stirred the ladle in hours. The "mashed potatoes" looked like dishwater: I know they're made from a powder, but they clearly got the ratio wrong. The almond cookies (a common staple, so a nice litmus test to compare these buffets to each other) were hard, tasteless and mealy, which meant they either bought the cheapest kind or used a batch so old, that its quality was past the best by date. The list goes on. I usually try to find 2-3 edible items at these buffets and load up on it (typically mongolian beef or the teriyaki chicken), but I failed to find even one today, despite sampling well over half of the choices (definitely would never advise chancing the raw seafood at a place like this). I suppose the fruit was okay, because you can't mess up an orange (all you have to do is cut it), which is why this gets 2 stars instead of 1. This is not worth it just for fruit though. You don't come here for that and there's countless fruit vendors in NYC.

The bathroom had an empty hand sanitizer bottle and did not have a functioning soap dispenser. This was concerning because it left me wondering if the employees were washing their hands. They also lacked napkin dispensers at the tables that I've always seen at other buffets.

There's a hundred and one better options if you're in Brooklyn, a thousand and one if you take the 20 minute L train to Chinatown. You really shouldn't waste your time and money here. It's unfair to the other good Chinese food options. Save yourself (and your family and money) from a wasted...

This is not a good one! But I'm going to start from the beginning and let you know why. My homegirl and I took our kids to the pool so naturally when we got out we were starving and decided a buffet would be the best option. We came across this one and I called before we made our way over there because let's face it some of these buffets charge a lot of money. The lady told me $19.99 for lunch so we zoomed over there. When we got there I told her to charge me for two adults and one kid my total came to $71 and change so immediately my math skills kicked in I'm like ummm. Then she proceeds to tell me it's actually $26.99 with drink included. At this point we were starving and ready to just eat so we said whatever but don't you think that should have been mentioned when someone calls inquiring about pricing? OK strike one. We pay for everybody and we then are led to our table. We immediately go load up on food after giving the server our drink orders. As soon as we sit down and start eating we notice the food isn't even hot warm nothing even in between. All the food is cold. Strike two. We have no choice but to eat because we've paid and we're starving. The food didn't taste good at all either. My homegirl and I ate it unfortunately complaining to each other the whole time! The kicker was right before we were about to leave my homegirl witnessed the old lady that worked there bringing more food from the back use the bathroom and not wash her hands with soap. She kinda just rinsed her hands barely under water and quickly left! STRIKE NUMBER 3!!! We were disgusted and quickly left. This is the worst buffet I have ever been to in my life! Please do yourself a favor and if u drive past hungry thinking hmmm let me check them out, mash your foot on the gas and get the hell outta that...

Nope nope nope, never going again and I hate to give this review. Seriously the only thing I enjoyed was the vegetable egg roll and Mac& cheese. I had to spit out the salad options (which weren't that many) and forget about the sushi. If it isn't a Japanese restaurant then skip sushi! Not many food options either and I figured maybe all buffet styles places would be the same but this one was by far the worst. Maybe going at 7pm on a Saturday isn't the most ideal? The food finished fast and most options were also replaced fast. The staff never came around to ask for refill of water or drinks. They did wear masks and gloves. I wish there was hand sanitizer on the tables since EVERYONE is touching the same tongs to place food on plates. I felt disgusted by the sharing of sticky tongs and forget about how nasty the bathroom was. The bathroom only had 2 stalls, one without toilet paper, and toilet paper was all over the wet floor. Baby changing table held the door open (I would never change my baby on that thing!). The door was open where you can see people in the eating area while squatting on the bowl. I wish the ice cream section had sealed options for ice cream. An empty chocolate tub, no vanilla, and difficult to scoop strawberry didn't make me feel safe to eat. I hate to leave such bad reviews because I know how hard it is to run a business. At the same time I have my Food protection license and I'm curious why this place is still open. I wish I took pictures. Thankfully, I don't feel sick today (the next day). The table had a cute design and the fake waterfall area was nice. I wish I had more positive things to say but definitely it was a...
