Just tried this place for the 1st time via Doordash. I was intrigued by their GLUTEN FREE options & blown away when the food arrived!! I tried their breakfast sandwich on GF bread, a GF bagel & a GF warm chocolate chip cookie. The food was all PHENOMENAL & I can honestly say this is one of THE BEST gluten free chocolate chip cookies I have ever had!!! Everything was very clearly marked as to what was GF & what wasn’t which we appreciated their level of care. My husband got the 74 iced coffee & a breakfast sandwich in a croissant & LOVED both! This place is 10/10 we cannot wait to go in person as we will definitely be regulars here!! Shout out to Canon Coffee for offering awesome tasting gluten free options!!! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!

Sadly, this place is now run by a worn-out old Disney chef who appears to no longer be able to give a damn. The bland and mediocre fare have no business commanding such high prices. The poor service and lackluster attitude are an added slap in the face. In response to management response, it was your lazy waiter who told us the chef was ex-Disney, the one who did not seem to give a DAMN about my gluten intolerance. And then when the 'Cioppino' came out with a flour-based roux, we had the opportunity to meet your 'chef'. He explained to us that he does Cioppino differently, without much tomato but with a roux....which makes this NOT Cioppino, even though your menu describes it as "tomato lobster broth". Call it something else. Then he offered, not to make my dish again, but to 'take the sauce off' and replace it with tomato sauce. Those were his exact words, 'Take the sauce off.' I'm sorry, but the food just wasn't good and this is simply not acceptable, even if your 'chef' is pushing 80 and likely doesn't believe in gluten nonsense. Gluten problems are real, gramps.

The food was really good and the waiter was very helpful when I told him about my gluten sensitivity. He pointed out which items were safe for me to eat and informed the kitchen for proper precautions.

This is the best fast food restaurant that I have ever had for my gluten allergy. They are very careful in prep and the GF roll is far above average.

💀 King Buffet Apopka – A Review by Bob the Skullz (Now serving satisfaction with a side of soy sauce and zero gluten-related emergencies.) Step aside, overpriced hibachi chains and underwhelming fast food joints. There’s a buffet in Apopka that’s been quietly serving up greatness for two solid years—and no one’s talking about it loudly enough. So allow me, Bob the Skullz, patron spirit of sarcasm and soy-glazed truth, to ring the proverbial dinner bell. Welcome to King Buffet: where $15–$17 gets you a full stomach, a happy wallet, and a bonus round of “how did I eat that much?” existential reflection. For about thirty bucks, two people can absolutely feast. And not in the “sad salad bar with three limp shrimp” kind of way. We’re talking: 🍗 General Tso’s Chicken – crispy, saucy, glorious. 🥡 Lo Mein & Pork Fried Rice – carb heaven. 🍣 Sushi – small but mighty. 🍔 American fare – in case your kids think sesame seeds are exotic. 🧼 Cleanliness – you could eat off the buffet counter, but like, maybe don’t. Still, points for the effort. The staff? Friendly. Efficient. Psychic, possibly. Your drink gets low? Refilled before you blink. Plate starting to look finished? Boom. Gone. New one waiting. They’ve mastered the ancient art of being present without hovering, a rare gift in the buffet world. Now, let’s address the only dark cloud on this otherwise sweet and sour horizon: No peanut butter chicken. A tragedy. A loss. A sauce-based betrayal. I’ve seen peanut butter chicken in buffets from Miami to Michigan, it’s practically a pillar of the genre. But here? Nada. Still, if that’s the only complaint, you’re doing something very, very right. And here’s a massive shoutout to the gluten-sensitive crowd: This place isn’t just buffet-good, it’s allergy-aware. My humans have never had a cross-contamination incident here, and trust me, we’re always on high alert for that kind of thing. Dishes are well-separated, labeling is thoughtful, and you never get the sense that the kitchen is playing allergy roulette behind the scenes. Major props. Final verdict? King Buffet is the unsung hero of Apopka buffet dining: affordable, delicious, welcoming, and surprisingly accommodating for dietary needs. It’s the kind of place where you leave full, happy, and only mildly ashamed of how many egg rolls you consumed. Which is exactly how it should be. If you’re hungry, broke, or just really into chicken that comes in at least five saucy varieties, go. Now. Just don’t ask for peanut butter chicken. It’s still too soon. – Bob the Skullz Patrón spirit of bottomless plates and buffet enlightenment (Still mourning the missing peanut butter chicken, but healing through Lo Mein therapy.)

Our first visit and we're so happy we came. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. They went out of their way to ensure one of the meals was gluten free. We will be back!

Looked great and I was so excited to try this place since they opened since it sounded like they had a lot to offer those who have to avoid gluten. I was sad to be told that they offer no proteins, zero, that are gluten free. I could have rice and gluten free sauce? This didn't sound right and I asked for clarification and it seemed to be confirmed by the signage on the inside. Had to go elsewhere for dinner and we'll come back for dole whip.
