★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 AWAKEN GRACE · Mar 2026

The food is pretty good most days but the atmosphere sucks. These are the rudest people ever. All the way from the old man down to the staff. I even tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and go back again. Regret having done so. I will never go back to this restaurant.

While many might feel unease about Buffets, especially these days, Chow King does a fantastic job at providing a Buffet experience that is satisfying, clean, and welcoming. As someone who personally doesn't like buffets, Chow King the exception for me as every experience I've had here has been pleasant. The food is diverse and rather delicious despite their abundance of choice. Nothing is *amazing* (aside from their sushi) but you won't care about that when you're on your third serving of their noodles and chicken! The staff are friendly and they clearly take their job with a professional attitude that makes me feel confident that their quality matches their own drive for a good experience at their restaurant.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Renea Bolt · Mar 2026

Food was OK. I've eaten here twice before and it was great! This time not so much. Shrimp was mushy. Staff got so close to the table I accidentally elbowed her in the butt. It's getting so popular food is being prepared with not as much care as it needs.

This is my third time here for lunch and parking is very convenient. The furnishings in the store are comfortable, the food is great and fresh, and I am surprised that the price is so cheap. Thank you very much today's waiter: Amy&Mei, they give me the best service. I will come back again. Also recommend to everyone!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Dylan Jasonn Voorhees · Jan 2026

Went with my boyfriend and decided to give this place yet another try. I saw these two kids, probably 17 or 18 be belittled over a tip. I then watched the older man who works front counter call him rude and head to another table and talk about how he didn’t tip. This is the third time I’ve experienced this happening and it’s beyond the rudest customer service I’ve ever seen. Seeing a kid get belittled by a 60 year old man is just so disrespectful. This was the final straw and we both just walked out and paid for our food. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place for any type of family outing
