King's Buffet — Restaurant in Prattville

This was our first time eating there, and unfortunately our last. Their buffet is technically not open due to the coronavirus, however they still offer the "buffet". From a list of only 20 PRESELECTED items, you choose 4, and there's your buffet. Though this was disappointing, it's also understandable right now. It did not deter us from eating there, and is not the reason for us not returning. Instead of ordering from the listed buffet items, we ordered from the menu and got it to-go. We ordered Wonton soup, Hot & Sour soup, Pork fried rice, Vegetable Lo Mein, and the Boneless Spare Rib combo. Once getting home with the food we found that the rib combo was not the boneless, it was the regular Spare Rib (bone-in) combo. Frustrating, but still, all in all, not a reason to not come back. The food was overall, okay. I had the hot & sour soup, an egg roll and a little bit of pork fried rice and vegetable Lo Mein. My husband had the Wonton soup and the Spare ribs, and pork fried rice. Later that night, early morning, he ended up with food poisoning. Not sure if it was the Spare Ribs or the Wontons but those were the only 2 things that I did not eat. Getting horribly sick, unfortunately, assures that you won't go back again. Side notes on the food: the lo mein was by far the best out of everything we ordered. It had great flavor and plenty of good vegetables. My hot & sour soup was as good as any I've had before. The egg roll was better than some I've had before. Their pork fried rice was not very good. It was bland and dry. I would not have ordered that again. Prior to getting sick, my husband commented on his. The wonton soup, he said, was okay. The wontons were good, but the broth was "not bad, but oily". The spare ribs was the part of our order that was wrong which was why I (fortunately) didn't have any. Normally, we both have a little bit of everything. The ribs had very little sauce on them. The sauce was conservatively, drizzled over the 3 or 4 ribs after the were put in the box. The ribs themselves were mostly bone and fat, very little meat. Which, ironically, is the reason we like the boneless. Plenty of meat, plenty of sauce. Had our experience been based solely on the food, we both said that we'd wait and try them again once the buffet was back up and running like normal. We weren't crazy about the food we got, but would have been willing to try them again. If you've ever had food poisoning though, I'm sure you understand, your only thought after that is to never eat that again. At least for a...

Oh man, words cannot express what happened to me after eating here. The vileness of my description could quite possibly be illegal to put on the internet. While I’m currently sitting on the porcelain throne, with a white-knuckled grip as if I’m riding down a river rapid, I shall explain the story of a young boy that fell a victim to the Chinese buffet. Shortly after filling my plate with all sorts of Chinese cuisine, I notice a bloodcurdling rancid smell arising from my plate. Being unable to identify the source, I stupidly disregarded it and began to chow. Following two plates, we paid our bill and left. It wasn’t until I stopped at my girlfriend’s when I stopped dead in my tracks. The world was quiet, my face, as solid as a statue’s. It was before I could muster out a four-lettered curse word that I felt it. Suddenly- my stomach felt as if it was being ringed out like a wash cloth. From between my iron buns a gaseous substance permeated through that would make Suddam Hussein’s mustard gas seem like hairspray. At this point, my fight or flight instincts occurred. “Should I man up and battle this insufferable struggle or should I sprint like Usain Bolt to my house and tame this beast?” I went with flight and ran to my house. Keys in the car and everything, I busted down my front door like the swat team with a search warrant. I sprinted to my bathroom so fast the carpet almost slid from under me. While having a meeting in the Oval Office, I sit and curse my ancestors for any injustice they could’ve ever possibly committed for cursing their heritage to eternal suffering of this degree. I will update you on my status if I live to...

When the first waitress was bringing us to our table she didn't even pay attention to the fact that my disabled mother couldn't walk fast and she dipped around the corner so fast I had to speed up so I could tell my mom where our table was. I also told her I had hearing issues and she kinda scoffed at it. She also gave me attitude about not knowing what they had to drink. There is no menu and I'm from out of state (my family isn't and comes here alot) she then proceeded to only ask 3 of the 4 of us what we wanted to drink. My mom originally said she wanted tea, she tried to tell her she wanted unsweetened but the waitress didn't hear her. I told her myself she wanted unsweetened tea. She walked away before taking my mom's husband's drink order. A different lady then brings us four drinks. One of which is sweet tea. I told her we didn't ask for sweet tea. That the other lady got confused and didn't take omw of the drink orders. She then said ok and started to walk away. I told her his order still hasnt been taken. She looked me dead in the eye and said yes and walked away...I had to flag her down when she came back to tell her we have tried to order twice and they have walked away twice. She asked what he wanted and I said hot tea. She brings it out pretty fast but the cup had very clear lipstick marks on it. I wish I had taken a pic. My mom's husband refused to let me say anything because both ladies had already been so rude. There was a guy waiter who was super sweet and helped us without any attitude and the food was fantastic, no complaints there but the service was absolutely ridiculous. Not a good first impression...
