Reviews of China King Buffet Restaurant (Coffee Shop)

Peter Keddy

Overall the service was decent and the food was as expected. To be fair, my visit occurred during “rush hour” so it was very busy. This isn’t a great spot to dine in during covid times as there isn’t a lot of room for proper physical distancing but overall I was very satisfied with the buffet. It was thoroughly and frequently re-stocked with lots of fresh dishes including dessert. I will return next time in Port Hawkesbury.

I eat Chinese weekly and all over the world. The buffet surpasses any I have ever eaten at for inedible food, poorly prepared, cheap ingredients, dirty interior, and rip-off over pricing. Stay away.

Donnie Warner

Excellent food and service.

Tony Jadischke

Buffett is awesome with good prices

Ting

Not even worth for one star. The worst experience ever. The service is horrible and people there were treating people differently.

Jwow Kaiser

brad macnabb

Food was very quick and well prepared, staff was very friendly and willing to help even wtib the mask requirements the staff and restaurant functioned very well. Good quality food and service.

Tim Harvey

Avoid this place. Shabby exterior should have warned us. Nice hardworking Chinese couple crank out sweet gooy food or greasy deepfried whatever. Priced too high for the low quality. 2 stars because I did like the honey garlic ribs.

Kourtney Thomas

Maggie is a wonderful person and has good food and I'll eat there forever as long as she is the owner

ALLIE MACINTYRE

This is the best restaurant in town don’t let people tell you otherwise.The staff are very friendly and welcoming the new look is beautiful.Everyone that is leaving a nasty comment are just jealous that they can’t cook!

Robert Groves

Always enjoy stopping in for the lunch buffet. The food is consistently prepared and varied.

K De Young

Friendly staff good fresh cooked food and clean.

Steve Prosser

No. This doesn't deserve to be called a restaurant

Jp Boudreau

As they have all day buffet, the service is very quick, as you can start there immediately. There are over 16 authentic Chinese dishes to select from and if you prefer a la cart they have plenty to choose from. Maggie ( the owner) is very personable and friendly.

Robert Cullen

Cold food

China King is doing a great job after reopening from COVID-19. Their staff provide exceptional service and their restaurant is very clean. I can appreciate this local staple for reasonable prices and quality food. Can't wait to visit again.

mateo fleet

Julian Johnson

Excellent service and the food is always fresh. Great Family Business.. Buffet is the way to go.

Brian Daley

Great food and awesome service very friendly people

Open Air Adventure

I would say the best tasting Chinese food in Nova Scotia, buffet is amazing. Restaurant itself is uncomfortable with awkward seating but that's the only negative. Food staff, cleanliness, parking, all great.

Kim P

Food was fresh this day, however the windows so need to be washed and the inside could use a fresh paint or something

RandyPKsNubs

Only Chinese food in or around Port Hawkesbury, Very good food, Very nice staff

Chad C Landry

Seemed ok.. But the rancid or rotten lemon chicken was old as heck and I can't believe how it made it out the door. Grose!! Not going back. This place used to be really good but now: So disappointed ???? Today is the 17th of August 2018 I dared to go back and I was grossed out before ... but it's worse... ship was not cleaned properly and was all cooked together which I told the server/owner....and at the same time the cook comes out to take care of the old noodles I told them about and the continued to take the old noodles, mix/tossed them with the old and then put all the noodles into to warming server. WOW!!!! I got up paid and they wanted me to pay for the leftovers I wouldn't eat, which I refused to pay for. And told them to only charge my for two kids buffets or I was leaving and not paying at all. Discussing ????????????????????

Betty Lyons

Always liked this place, ate there often. Been awhile so gave it a try for Christmas. Only thing not good was Honey Garlic pork.

Geena Newell

Service was good, food was horrible chicken balls tasted sour, chicken wings were all dried up.

Tony Taylor

Terrible quality.

Norman Earle

It was pretty tasty and great service!!

Sebastian Kluth

China King Buffet offers a great selection of Canadian-Chinese foods for reasonable prices. Staff is organized and helpful and serves customers with a smile upon the face.

ajoy varghese

Average chinese food place.

Ana May

I have eaten at the China King Buffet a handful of times and everytime we were met with kind, happy-to-help people, and great tasting food! We usually order the buffet, which offers a variety of dishes, all of which are usually delicious, and fairly priced as well! Their menu offers a few vegetarian options, as well as their buffet! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys chinese cuisine.

Linna K.

This is not Chinese food.

Eric Borman

I was there at least five minutes before I was offered a drink. The chicken fried rice and spring rolls had definitely gone bad. I had to go and find someone when I wanted to pay. And it wasn't even busy.

Notorious Loko

This is a five star all the way awesome food the people remember me I come here often better than any restaurant out the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could I'd rate 1000 stars

Nail Creations

After being burned because the soup was way to hot, I let them know that I was burned to the point of blisters, they treated me like they didn't give a $!#%.... My GF and I will never go back!!!! There's no warning sign!

Cora Joshua

Great buffet and excellent service.

Allyson Clayton

Service and food were both below expectations. It's too bad as we enjoy Chinese food, but we probably won't be returning to this place.

Yo Boi

They messed up my order! And charged me extra for it! And they were mad at me even though it was their mistake) Music was really annoying too

Tyrell DeYoung

We went to have a buffet and the lady said everything on the menus and we were getting up to eat the buffet and said no the buffet is closed know in a very rude way.

MacKenzie MacLean

Nice place to eat & service is great!

Devyn farrow

Wasn't bad at all! Really amazing service!

Selena Symes

Food was not the greatest. Chicken balls had more dough than chicken..rice was flavorless..egg rolls weren't bad but greasy..did not enjoy at all! None of it

Bryant Long

The buffet was fresh, hot, and with a great variety.

lorne

Ordered chicken balls and rice and found 3 strands of hair in my rice. They don't wear hair nets there. Will never go back.

Jessica MacDonald

Always delicious, great prices and the friendliest service!! My grandma and I stop for the lunch buffet now whenever we come to Port Hawkesbury!

Mary MacDonald

I find it very hard to even give this restaurant 1 star. This was my first time eating here since the new owners took over. We ordered takeout. Got it home. Beef and broccoli had water sugar and garlic as a sauce ( or at least that’s what I was told Beef and broccoli was made off ). Well so was the the chicken chow menu and the stir fried veggies. Had to be the worst Chinese food I have eaten in all my life.

Paul Currie

Very good food at a good price

Joshua Marsh

The Buffett is amazing with a wide variety of choices all you can eat . You definitely leave with satisfaction.

Buffet was great value, food was fresh and tasty. Some Chinese restaurants use too much oil or msg. This place doesn't overdo either. I really enjoyed their food and friendly service. Thumbs up.

Johnny Mac Donald

Excellent food. Great staff.

bobby lew

The food was really good. Nice and fresh :)

Tamara MacDonald

The food was very good but the wait was long. It was NYE and I ordered our food at 11:30am for a 4:45pm pick up. It wasn't ready until 5:30pm, and that was after asking the kitchen staff to check on it.

Eileen Keoughan

Very friendly and the food was good

Melanie Harbridge

Owner was knowledgable about Gluten Free options

Wilfred Richard

Shadzing Ink

Bad food. Grimy interior.

Tony Lau

What you see is what you get. It can be 1/5 but it's 5/5 for the area. Not comparing it with the best of new york here. Comparing what is available in NS.

Justin MacDonnell

Great food very nice staff well priced

George Lantz

Went to go in location and the walls and entrance were DIRTY ,when we went in we passed the buffet and the food looked great, when we went to sit down the table was dirty and the wall and heater next to it was dirty. We decided to leave as if it was dirty in the sitting area what was the kitchen like.

David Dunford

Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Buffet is hot, fresh and quite extensive for the market size. This chef is obviously experienced and skilled. Friendly prompt service and price very reasonable. The building is aging and interior …

DAVID MCNAMARA

Whenever we go home, to cape breton, we always go to this restaurant, because it is simply the best, and the service is great

Matthias Widdel

(Translated) Nice staff but terrible facility. Poor meat quality. It is better to only eat vegetables and poultry, then they taste quite good (Original) Nettes Personal aber furchtbare Einrichtung. Fleischqualität schlecht. Lieber nur Gemüse und Geflügel essen, dann schmeckt ganz gut

Morgan M.

Kind service, great price, all you can eat was so good. They even had pie and ice cream!

Darryl Carroll

The food was really good, and there was plenty of it, even at 1:30 in the afternoon. Good service and good food is a winning combination, and here they have both. I will definitely be returning.

Brad MacDonald

Devon Horne

Delicious food !

Wanda MacDonald

Best Chinese food ever and the people are so friendly

Darcey Madam

Good spot for a bite.

Josephine Robinson

It's fairly standard american chinese. It's not the best but it caters to the small town clientele, so go in with that in mind. For vegetable dishes , you're better off to go to the buffet. The takeout vegetable dishes are often overcooked. If you order takeout, just do yourself a favor and skip the vegetable dishes.

Mary Blanchard

Food was delicious and staff extremely friendly.

fishin the homeland

Els Segeren

We visited this restaurant on July 8 2018. When you enter the restaurant you see at once that it is dark and old, not inviting at all. We went for the buffet , recommended by friends. We started with the only soup they had to offer, Won Ton soup, the taste was fine, but just warm. We tried the rice, noodles, steamed vegetables with meat, BBQ ribs, chicken wings, every thing was warm, not hot. The taste of all the dishes were blend, and tasted the same. The BBQ ribs were OK. The choice for dessert was limited, and not home made except the jello. There were cup cakes, slices of cake, jello, apple pie, and lemon pie. I didn't take any dessert, took instead some fried pastry with honey from the main food, and my husband took some jello. The owners were friendly! The bill for the two of us was $ 30.- not expensive, but we are not returning to this restaurant. again.

Carter Nickerson

In all my traveling I have never ate in a place as dirty as this place.. I should have walked out but I didnt want to be rude.. from the dirty ceiling fans to the old food laying on tables and floors.. this was right out of the Texas chainsaw massacre.. I'm surprised this place is open cuz ain't nooooo way this place is passing inspection

Bruce Mackay

Very pleasant service good food good price

Tanveer Behniwal

The food was not according to my taste I understand but the staff was great ! It's a bit pricey because water and even fountain pop was not included in the buffet! Do I reccomend ? Uh I don't know ! It's just a bit tasteless for me !

Good food and friendly personal

Robert Benison

Wife really enjoyed the mother day special.

John Smith

China King produces the worst Chinese food I have ever ate. Food is always cold and very disappointing tasting. Would not recommend this restaurant unless you are craving it. Price should be lower based on quality of food. On a positive note, they offer a wide selection and the customer service is great!

Peter Fancy

Good food,

Beverly Edwards

Love the all you can eat buffet. The sweet and sour sauce is really good. The shrimp on the buffet are amazing! Chicken balls are huge, they even have pie or jello for dessert. Give them a try. They also follow covid rules. 2 different time …
