Quick info
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
Diners most often return for the variety of the all-you-can-eat spread, which lets them take a wee bit of many dishes and go back for what they liked most. Peking duck and the curry sauce draw specific praise, and several describe food that was hot, fresh and tasty, with both Asian and Western options that suit fussy eaters and families. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, with drinks brought quickly and tables easy to find, though one reviewer dislikes waiters stretching over people while they eat. The room is described as hectic and noisy, but with a good atmosphere and plenty of smiling kids. Opinions on quality split. One calls the food fine but closer to frozen supermarket fare, and another reports overcooked, tasteless pasta in both the soup and regular dishes. One evening diner found multiple trays empty and dishes cleared well before closing, with cold, stale food left. Several also note prices creeping up, with lunchtime the cheapest. One afternoon visitor found it quieter, with staff clearing tables regularly.

“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.”

“its a buffet its quick its easy ,the food itself isnt the best but its fine on the whole ,good place to take kids as long as there not running about ,the prices keep going up though a lot more than expected but then everywhere is ,staff always seem good the main chap who is at the till is always great nice and freindly and good banter ,always even when busy was able to get a table fast and they bring you your drink quick ,its a fairly hectic noisey place but its got a good vibe about it good atmosphere and you can tell most folk esp kids are having fun lots of smiles .its the kind of place to go for a fun treat and to try different foods but must admit food wise its very farmfoods iceland type and not high end in anyway ..lol it is what it is so dont expect anything more Bejing banquet a few miles away has better food but it is more expensive and you usually gotta book unlike this place which usually you can get a seat table no bother .fast and fun”

“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!”
