K&K Super Buffet

My wife and I took our son there as a reward for passing his Regents test, we heard the place was under new management so we decided to try it out.
The place had not changed from how we remembered it visually speaking, there were a lot of cars parked in the parking lot so we assumed the place was packed.
To our surprise it was empty except for maybe three or four tables and what sounded like a kids party in the party room.
We sat in a booth by the window which happen to be dirty, we got up to get our plates and the first plate we picked off the pile was dirty.
We took a different plate and went around looking to see what we would eat, I chose mashed potatoes, boneless spare ribs, general taos chicken, some sweet plantains, and what was supposed to be a steamed dumpling, it was all cold!!!
My wife got fish and some steamed vegetables and they too were cold, my son picked some of the same things we picked plus clams, everything was cold the dumplings and clams looked old and rubber like!
We ordered diet cokes and they were flat, the «Ice cream» had no flavor.
This place was a poor excuse for Chinese buffet, we have been to a few and this one came in very short in comparison.
Beware! Only thing you may get from this place is a good case of food poisoning.:0 (
NEVER AGAIN!

There’s a lot of «undesirables» in the parking lot but I fuckin love dumplings so I will take the good with the bad. Just don’t lend money to the «busboys»

OK the scenery is welcoming. Yet you get there @ 3pm and it’s dinner rates. The rate is $ 14.95 xxx, but when you go to pay it jumps to $ 18.00plus. They ad the extra for soda. Guess what I have braces I do not drink soda so I requested a refund. The food was the worst, suff hard shell crab –nasty, rice very hard, mac and cheese, hands up dont kill me THE WORST I HAVE EVER TASTED AND IT WAS NOT BAKED, my family had the soda which they changed the flavor twice bc it taste like water. The roasted potatoes were dry. I can go on. Yet the safest thing to eat is the chicken and jello. I suggest to not eat anything with mayo… I said the scenery is welcoming. NOT THE STAFF. I swear the entire meal probably worth $ 5.00. You have been warned

Worst service ever… they treat customer with no manners… they bring the check without you asking for it besically throwing you out! NEVER again plus the food taste like SHIT.

Lunch is the only time that I recommend gong because that is when the food is fresh and inexpensive. Dinner is overpriced and not worth it in my opinion.

Never go here!!! The food was nasty and all the food that was suppose to be hot was cold and gross! My husband and I attempted to eat one plate and left because of how nasty it was. Please save yourself the time and money and DO NOT GO HERE! Oh and when I told the waitress about the food being cold (especially the meat) she asked if I wanted a microwave! I said he’ll no. And if I wanted a damn microwave I would’ve just stayed home. I was going to fight the bill but my husband already payed and we just wanted to get the hell out of there and enjoy our New Years… what a let down!

holy shit nothing is edible at this place, I was surprised I didn’t come out with food poisoning. everything here was extremely stale and old, they had plenty of items here that I could not identify the kind of meat that was in it. although they had a seafood selection here, it looked incredible unappetizing, and seemed like a sure fire way to get hepatitis. the food here was NOT edible, nothing was fresh, and everything here seemed at least a day old and poorly prepared. I really don’t know how this place is still in business…

Visited twice. First time was pretty decent but that was just deceiving because it was amazingly awful the last time I dined here a few nights ago — the booth we sat in wasn’t bolted to the floor and kept moving, much of the food was cold, greasy and not flavorful, and a ROACH stopped by our table for a visit before we left.
The parking lot is convenient, even if you must disrupt an impromptu soccer game as you look for a space.

Stopped by because my boyfriend was in the mood for an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Decided to give it a try just for the hell of it. Found a hair in 2 separate pieces of chicken. The hostess tried to tell me it was probably a customer. There is no denying that it was staff because the hair was cooked into the chicken wing. Once she examined the chicken, further… and saw the hair wasn’t coming out… that’s when she said the sake and corona were on the house. Then she says. everything is ok now and I can go back for more food. What?!? I just threw out a whole full plate because of the hair. Did she really think we were going to go back for more food? Never going back again. Anyways the lo mein wasn’t bad. Go if you dare :)

We came to this establishment on a Saturday at dinner time. Nice space, nice staff, aweful food. I completely understand its a Chinese buffet and not too much can be expected, but I like my food to have more flavor then grease, oil, and soy sauce. I don’t think this is worth the 15 bucks.

Buffets, in my eyes (or stomach, I should say), are the waterparks of the food world.
They are often overrun by people half your size, have practices that make you question their safety and cleanliness and serve alcohol, which you wouldn’t expect?
However, Rus & I just had to visit this buffet in our ‘hood…because it’s a buffet in our hood! They have about 4 tables of food set up: cold salads, American + fried foods (french fries, pizza), standard «Chinese» food (the dumplings were the only thing that I thought were decent, everything else was lukewarm and kind of gross). The pineapple shrimp was straight nasty (extremely mushy). They have clams on the half shell, which kind of freaked me out (who knows how long they were sitting out?), crab and all that other stuff. They serve beer.
If you enjoy quantity over quality, this place is definitely for you.
If you think about what you’re putting into your mouth for longer than the 30 seconds that it takes for you to put it on your plate, this place is not for you.
p. s. my friend says that this place also hosts raves? that sounds way more interesting than the buffet.
also, they do have a really cool fountain in the front of the place (when you first walk in), but it doesn’t seem like it’s maintained.

An $ 8 Chinese Buffet for lunch? I have found heaven on earth. NYC seems fairly short on buffets, and I was beside myself when I discovered this place five minutes away from my apt.
The ONLY negative I can see (being a fruitaholic) is that they only had pineapple and honeydew when I was there — more fruit would be a plus.
However, everything else was amazing — not only do they have classic chinese staples (lo mein, fried rice, chicken and broc), they also have mac&cheese, pizza (not bad), and mashed potatoes and fries.
I will definitely become a regular at their cheap lunch buffet! Freelancers rejoice!

Me and my friend used to come here a lot. It has a wide variety of food to choose from but it’s not always that fresh. Pretty cheap too.

I had my daughter’s Baby Shower there 6 years ago. We frequently eat there. It’s not what it used to be and is a little pricey but, it’s still good. It’s a huge place. I especially love the Seafood section. The good thing, that there is free parking.

I’m giving this place two stars because the food was gross and cold. To me most of the food looked like it was just sitting there all day. The first plate I had I just threw it away because it was ice cold the second plate was meh the selection they had wasn’t that great. The only thing that was good was the BBQ ribs, cheese cake, and their ice cream. This place is huge and I can imagine how crowded it can get on the weekends but I will not be coming back.

Well, my tip is… only go there when you have too. This place used to be so good, now not so much. Too bad. This place was less than a quarter full on a Saturday night and has a B rating. The food was not hot and the steam table selection seemed lacking. I predict this place to be closed within the year.

The whole place seemed very rundown, from the décor to the rust on the bathroom stalls. More importantly, the food was not at the proper temperature, shrimp was not deveined, the whole place smelled greasy, and I came back to discover a cockroach walking around on our table. The manager tried to do the right thing by giving us a 10% discount, but we are not going back.

Four stars is for the quality of this Chinese buffet in comparison to the food I’ve seen and/​or eaten at other Chinese buffets. I have a sort of bias against Chinese food after a bad experience so I was really reluctant to eat here but my boyfriend wanted to so… yeah.
Anyway the food was really good and surprisingly fresh the first time I went. It was a Sunday afternoon I believe. I went again midday on a Thursday and it was blaaaaah. I learned never to go to a Chinese buffet when they aren’t busy; it makes sense that when they are busy they are cooking more and changing the trays more often as opposed to them sitting for long periods of time when it’s slow. If you want to try it, go on the weekends when its busy!

Since I don’t have a music blog or any blog for that matter, you fine foodies here at Unilocal will just have to put up with what will prove to be an unjustifiably useless review of K&K Super Buffet because, despite it being a restaurant, not a bite of food was to be had.
In fact, the reason I had left Queens (…to go to Manhattan to go through Brooklyn to get to Queens…) was to catch a show. You see, like the mild-​mannered Dr. Jekyll, for one night the otherwise conventional K&K Super Buffet underwent a Mr. Hyde-​esque transformation, assuming Mr. Hyde was a lot less of a sociopathic murderer and much more into Bön Iver.
Thanks to the efforts of Todd P., a frequently name-​dropped figure in context of the NYC DIY music experience, the buffet stowed away steam trays and opened its doors to host a few DJ sets (who I was too late to catch and am now too lazy to look up), The Babies, Black Dice, and the headliner Real Estate who are originally from Ridgewood, New Jersey and is the inspiration for the clever transposition of towns.
Seeing as how:
A) Real Estate’s latest album, Days, was the soundtrack of my life for a week,
B) Tickets cost less than a Subway $ 5 Footlong (Okay…tickets were actually $ 7 after fees, but still kudos to Todd P again for keeping the price unbelievably low),
C) The venue was a CHINESE BUFFET,
There was no way I was going to miss out on the experience.
Apparently, neither were hundreds of other people because, despite the size of K&K resembling what I compared to as a «Townhall for a middle-​class southwest American suburb» or a friend saw as a «McChurch», the place was packed out. In fact when we first got there there was a line that stretched the entire perimeter of the parking lot to get in. I was actually shocked on how orderly and professional the entire situation was given that the sheer amount of people lined up on a Saturday night was more than enough for a fiasco. Say what you want about hipsters, but they can queue up patiently like champs.
Perhaps it’s because I imagine most Chinese buffets to be minimally decorated food landfills with a layer of grease coating plastic covered furniture but K&K was rather nice and clean looking. The bamboo (or faux bamboo) wall décor fit in nicely with the mini-​waterfall up front though it seemed more Japanese inspired than Chinese. I did think the crystal ship chandelier was a bit gaudy and more befitting for the house of a pirate hip-​hop artist. The tables were dull though and while I’m not even expecting dinner cloth, it didn’t have to look like the inside of a bowling alley.
I actually couldn’t figure what the stage was made of, so I am unsure if there was make-​shift or if the buffet actually sported one but either way, it was sufficient. A wish that I had made to my friend earlier, that the audience would be placed amongst the buffet tables, was joyfully realized as I watched most of the show from what I would guess to be the dessert section.
The acoustics were an audiophilic wonder and sound levels were mixed to the perfect blend of fidelic euphony… nah, I’m just kidding, I have no idea what I’m talking about. But I do know there was a shit ton of amps and it was loud and it was awesome and it was a Chinese buffet so who cares.

I haven’t eaten here, but at night this place sometimes magically transforms into Ridgewood’s largest music venue. Good sound, great sightlines, crystal ship chandelier. Cap the capacity a bit lower and we’re golden.
