I didn't have high hopes for this place based on reviews here and elsewhere but I was in the mood for a Chinese buffet so gave it a try. The price was reasonable -- $13 including drink. The food was mostly mediocre. Not terrible; some dishes better than others, but nothing that would make me want to return. I stayed... More

This buffet has probably been one of the worst eating experiences of my entire life. I'm not sure if it's because I am an ethnic Chinese person, but the food here was absolutely awful, greasy, and disgusting -- worse than sub-par. Even the famous crab-legs that people come here for are very lackluster. First of all, if you are all... More

Probably the WORST experience EVER at any buffet, anywhere....other than that I have nothing bad to say.....Went for the crab legs and crab legs only. 3 tables of diners there when we arrived and an empty tray of crab legs...10 minutes later they brought about 1 pound out...then waited 15 minutes only to have them bring out FOUR crab legs....

I'm a regular with my three children. Nice fresh salad bar. Cheaper prices during lunch and senior discount. The ice cream at King's is creamy and very good. Better choice over Old Country Buffet in Latham! King's never runs out of cookies for the kids. And my children love to watch the train. Eazy access for wheelchairs and walkers. More
