Great price for a large buffet which is continually replenished. Good services, very busy, and very good. Hot and fresh.

When I dine somewhere I expect in the least no graffiti all over a washroom wall and this tells me management cares nothing about that as we were in twice as my gf's mother likes the place and yes the graffiti was still there and washroom was not all that clean. Food just ok, service just ok, so many other... More

We have tried the "Buffet King" several times for Lunch... We weren't impressed... The food was over-cooked and mundain .... each dish tasted like the next one... Possibly because they cater to mostly an elderly crowd. Everytime we have dined there, we have seen food dropped on the floor around the Buffet area... dangerous on a tile floor....and the help...

This is the first restaurant I had ever been in the Kelowna Area. I was adopted when I was 8 years old and before that had lived in foster care and in group homes and never met my parents. The first time I met my biological dad was here when I was 16 years old and we’ve been coming here... More

Buffet trays were empty. Food, once it finally arrived, was gross. I didn't like anything there except the wonton soup. I am not picky either, ask my wife i have eaten burnt food more than once. But this buffet king "food" was too disgusting even for me. I puked afterwards. The price was ridiculous, $17 per person. Never eat here... More

I'm not a picky person, but the food here was barely edible. Everything tasted off somehow. Even the rice had a strange texture and tasted freezer burnt. The price was ridiculous for the extremely poor quality. We had upset stomachs all around after our experience. Don't do it!

Fantastic selection, always fresh, always hot. Their spicy prawns are the best! Try them in your wonton soup.
