Really 2 1/2 stars really. Really read all as its short but I feel important advice. I have gone to Kingdom Buffet maybe eight times in three or so years and food was always hot, yet I went usually around mid after noon or dinner time. I also felt the food was good and worth it to return, not excellent, but lunch price to 4PM was only $7.47, cheapest Ive ever found. Also I found if I came before 4PM and ate past that time theyd usually, not always, charge the lunch price which was very nice. One of the servers had told me that was the rule to charge lunch price if one started eating within their lunch price time frame... yet found not all servers honored that or remembered when you came in. Servers have always been very nice, however young lady was business like tonight, Friday 7-18-14. This time, and I just returned, I felt I better write something. The whole buffet 1hr and 15 min before closing on a Friday night, (they close 10PM and I arrived 8:45PM) was room temperature! Even the interior of the nuggets of like General Tsos Chicken, and even the egg rolls, were room temperature to the core as though the heat to the buffet had been turned off for quite some time! I cant imagine the reason for doing that as electricity bill cant be that radically effected. Also I think the FDA or whatever rule of I think 160 degrees Fahrenheit minimum buffet food temp is very necessary. I could see why a high temp for another reason too, to keep any flies away. I only saw one fly landing on the buffet food, but if it had been heated it would not have even been near the food. I never complained and just paid, left a tip, and briefly used the restroom. When I came out three people who sat next to me only about 10 or at most 15 min starting just before I left were already in the parking lot! I didnt ask; but I bet they must have refused to eat! Im not sure of that; but only guessing. I was very hungry and ate anyways but strange feeling that I could get sick but okay so far 1 1/2 hr later. Otherwise Id recommend going there during busier time of day... only after today for quite some time I dont think Ill go back there.

Pros: Price is nice for the buffet, the time (closing time) is a good time to go get a late night bite. Crab rangoons are delicious. Best egg rolls Ive had at a buffet. Most buffets Ive ate at had cabbage-only egg rolls. Kingdom buffet has meat in their egg rolls. Very delicious. Cons: Costs extra for sushi (I know multiple buffets that dont charge for sushi), Shrimp are not on ice and are warm and soggy, fortune cookies are stale. Small buffet, not much of a selection. Half of the things werent even being cooked again and put into where they should be served. So i basically didnt get to try half of their food. The customer service was disappointing. Half of the employees are sitting on their phone and there was always a kid running around the place and staring at my friends and i eat.

Ive been eating @ Kingdom Buffet since before they were in this location, possibly up to 10 years ago. The owner knows my family and I, as we have been regular patrons of his establishment since then, and he always asks how the rest of my family is doing when I go here alone. He even gave my son a wooden carved pig for the Chinese New Year a year or so back. Become a regular, tip well, and they will treat you like family. Their food quality is good, but could be a little better. Ive seen much worse in the area though. I havent had a chance to try out their new grill or sushi buffet as its been a while since Ive been there, but Im sure that once I do my rating will go up to 5 stars.

We had visited a few chinese buffets in the area, (river falls, twin cities) and found a few we liked, others not so much. We feel the rating of 3 stars is accurate and fair rating. This doesnt mean anything poor, everything was as expected for a small town chinese buffet. We walked in and looked around, the food looked fresh, so we took a seat, we asked for water and took our fill. We feel the food was pretty tasty, not to say it was our favorites but we certainly found pleasure in the food. We would have liked more variety, but for the price it was acceptable. If you are in the area and you want a good buffet, I would certainly consider this highly on my list.

The price is ok, and the employees are upbeat, but other than that below average. The buffet is somewhat cold and are lacking in seasoning, the selection is ok but not very large. The sushi is the worst Iv ever had. Pasty, dried out, and room temperature, with only about 4-8 choices. My brother and a couple of friends have gotten sick after eating there and I have once. Overall I wish there was another chinese buffet close by, but making at home is a lot better, even making from a box, can, or frozen bag is better. If I had to go there again I would eat the sesame balls, and mussels, and probably some compow chicken, but I wouldnt even look at the sushi.

This is my all time favorite Chinese restaurant for food and price. I have a family of 6 and the price is great for all of us to eat. They also always have my favorite dishes, such as peanut butter chicken, and coconut chicken, among lots of other things. They have yummy mint chocolate chip(and other ice cream) and fruit for dessert. The atmosphere is calm. However the owners/workers have added charges to our bill that werent ours on two occasions. After checking our bill, they have gladly removed the charges though. So always check your bill there. Otherwise enjoy the food!

NOT CLEAN, which was a complete damper on our dining experience. The floor in the dining area looked like it hadnt been vacuumed all day and the tiled area surrounding the buffet was greasy. If they are willing to let their patrons see their restaurant in this condition, how much care goes into food safety? Also, one of the workers was shelling peas in one of the booths and would also get up to act as a hostess. Food prep should be done in the kitchen, not the dining room. On a brighter note, the staff was pleasant and very helpful.

If you smother it in soy sauce it actually tastes like something! The Lo mein looks like drowned noodles and boiled chicken. The chicken fired rice isnt fried and it looks like the same chicken as the Lo mein. The food wasnt even hot. We had take out, got there no later then 15 so our food shouldve been steaming hot.

A great little oriental buffet in the busy busy of Hudson off 94. Pretty standard selection at the buffet, the extra twist was the Sushi Buffet that is served everyday: not a big selection but its filling and affordable as sushi goes. Will deffinetly go again!

Great friendly service. Very family oriented workers. All kids of different ages help out at this restaurant. Always have a smile on their face. I recommend this buffet! Food is fresh and they always have a teriyaki grill cooked to order! Delicious!
