A huge buffet of hidden gems, including a crab cake and Cheeto-dust sushi, but watery mac and cheese, a frog leg he didn't like and the weirdest hard-boiled egg of his life. 2.5 stars.

What he said
“I don't think China King Buffet deserves 3.1 stars. I think it deserves 2.5 stars. I ate some questionable things.”
“I've, I've never had a hard boiled egg that tasted like that. I have no clue where you even get a hard boiled egg that tastes like that.”
“How do they always manage to make Mac and cheese taste like water? It's insane to me.”
“They even got a phone booth over there. I ain't seen one of those since the early 1900s.”
“You know, I think that's the crazy part about Chinese buffets. You don't know what something's gonna taste like. And that's the amazing part.”
