About China Buffet King

At Unit 27 in Renfrew, China Buffet King is a Chinese restaurant set up as an all-you-can-eat buffet overlooking an indoor ski slope, with self-service trays covering both Asian and Western dishes. Peking duck and curry sauce are among the recurring items on offer. The lunch buffet is priced lower than the evening service, and a Sunday all-day buffet runs at £14.99. Seating is usually available quickly without needing to book. Staff keep the tray areas checked and cleared through service, though trays are sometimes emptied ahead of the advertised closing time, so earlier arrival suits diners wanting the full spread.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently point to the sheer variety as the draw, with the buffet spread of both Asian and Western dishes and the Peking duck singled out for praise, alongside the curry sauce and a self-serve setup that several find fresh and hot when they visit. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, with one till worker praised for banter, and tables get cleared and refilled regularly according to multiple diners. Prices are frequently noted as reasonable at lunchtime but rising overall, and several describe the food as basic, "farmfoods iceland type" rather than high-end, calling the experience hit and miss. A recurring complaint involves undercooked or stale dishes and trays left empty, with one visitor reporting dishes pulled 30-45 minutes before closing despite paying the higher evening price. One reviewer also reports becoming ill with food poisoning after a meal, describing the chefs and hygiene as needing improvement. Despite this, most describe leaving full, with staff regularly seen checking and clearing tables throughout service.

    “Went to CBK many times, and will be back. Food is too good to stay away. Because its a buffet, customers can try all different foods. Ideal for ppl to try first time, because you can take a wee bit, not have to order a whole plate. Then go back for what you liked most. The prices are reasonable. Lowest prices at lunchtime.”

    “ate here about a year ago and the food wasn't great. I thought they had improved and it would be good, but no. The food was a disaster, pasta overcooked both in soup and regular ones and still tasteless. The food was tasteless considering it's cooked by Asians. Pakistan cooks better Asian food than those chefs here. I don't recommend it”

    “I arrived around an hour and a half before closing time, yet many dishes had already been removed. Several items were taken away 30–45 minutes before the advertised closing time, and multiple trays were left empty without being refilled. For a buffet service, customers expect the full selection to be available until closing, so this was frustrating. Additionally, the quality of the food was below expectations. Some dishes were cold, others tasted stale, and overall the food did not feel fresh. It seemed as though items had been sitting out for a long time without being properly maintained or replaced. What made the experience even more disappointing was that I paid the higher evening price (7–10 pm service), which is significantly more expensive than the lunch buffet. Paying a premium price but not receiving the full selection — and experiencing poor food quality — felt unfair. I understand closing procedures need to begin at some point, but removing dishes early and not maintaining food quality significantly impacts the overall dining experience. I hope management reviews this, as improvements are clearly needed.”

    “Me and my partner decided to try this place again after a few years of avoiding it due to the food being terrible and undercooked. So we went for a valentines meal hoping things had improved but the food is just as rotten as it was before and I have been ill with food poisoning since! The staff are lovely so no fault there but my god they really need better chefs and better hygiene!”
