King Buffet And Mongolian Grill — Restaurant in Utica South Township

Stopped here for dinner passing by from out of state. Buffets are always hit or miss, and this one was no different. I had read a review saying the crab rangoon was the best thing here, but that wasn’t true for me—it was stale and the cream cheese was dry.

Food rundown: • White rice: dry, not good. • Yellow rice: decent, acceptable. • Lo mein: not salty or oily, but bhland. • Crab rangoon: stale and dry, (not acceptable. • Dumplings: surprisingly good for a buffet. • Chicken on a stick: dry and hard. • Sweet & sour chicken: better than expected—crispy, juicy, and looked fresh. • Orange chicken: just okay. Sometimes it’s meat, sometimes mostly cornstarch. • Stuffed mushrooms: good. • Spring rolls: fine, nothing special. • Egg rolls: below average. • Other items: most were below mid or not worth mentioning.

Dessert: The ice cream machine actually worked (better luck than McDonald’s), and the ice cream itself was excellent. The sugar donuts can be good if they’re fresh, but if you catch the last pieces, they’re hard and chewy. My favorite thing here, surprisingly, was the apple pie—especially when I mixed it with vanilla ice cream. Honestly, that combo was the best part of the meal, even though it probably shouldn’t have been.

Overall, the food quality was just at the threshold of “acceptable.” It’s definitely not the worst buffet I’ve been to, but the flies and gnats were hard to ignore. That part really makes you wonder what it’s like in the kitchen. Hopefully no one...

I was very disappointed. After reading so many good reviews and than eating there my self today I wonder if we even went to the same place. The food was dry, and there was almost no selection. The rice I am pretty sure after having a fork full was just for decoration and not really for eating cause it was so gross. The noodles were dry and cold, The bread sticks could have been used to check tires. It cost us almost $50 for 5 of us, 2 adults a 7 yr old, 5 yr old and a 2 yr old to eat the all day buffet and And I am pretty sure they charged us for my husbands glass of water. I had been looking forward to Chinese for a couple months since we are new to the area and had not had any in awhile. This cured me of that. It will be a long time before I crave it again. The service was very good though. I feel bad their food was...

We used to go there quite often. Service was amazing and it still is for the most mart but the owners children have charged us the last few times we've gone and they are SO RUDE!! Won't say hello, won't smile, won't look me in. The eye, won't even respond when I speak to them. I've supported the owners but no more. Only reason I went back today was for my daughter but from now on I'll try and avoid that place like the plague. The food has not changed in the last 12 years I've been going. They also charge a card charge on debit cards even though I told them they shouldn't. Her child completely ignored me and charged anyway. If my daughter ever begs me again I'll just save the receipt a d go see my attorney. That's...
