As a chinese... BBQ Pork bum is my fav. Well..today, i went to king tin (first time there). i didn't know they don't have buffet on holiday but anyways... so i decided to try there dim sum...
I know u take the food and go around every table and then what's left on the cart goes back on the steamer again... but seriously, the bottom part of the bbq pork bum was mushy... the bum looks yellow and tasted like the steamer too... that's just too much re-steaming!!!!~~~
second... hello waitress!!~~ can't u see the tea pot cap was tipped open?? that means add more water plz~~
third... shrimp dumplings... when i picked it up... the skin falls off~~ too much re-steaming~~
We've been eating at the King Tin for more than 20 years. The hot and sour soup is the best anywhere. The weekend dim sum lunches are not to be missed! Reasonable and delicious dishes are offered. Their yang chow rice is the best in town, along with several of their noodle dishes. Seafood is a specialty here - and fabulous. The several casseroles they offer are incredibly good, wonderful sauces and melt in the mouth meat. The style is definitely chinese and not Canadian style chinese food. You will find a large percentage of oriental diners here as it is mostly wonderfully authentic chinese food cooked as it should be. The General Chicken is to die for. The lunch buffet has improved so much since the last review I just read - it isn't the same at all. Dim sums, shrimp dumplings, shu mai, deep fried chicken wings, spring rolls, soup, so much more than I can list here, and a good variety of rice, noodle and sweet and sour dishes. Eggplant with black bean sauce, curried squid... This is a must try if you haven't yet. One of the best lunch values anywhere at $7.00 per person!
This is the favourite spot for lunch for me and many of my friends. You see many of the regulars over and over. The food is delicious, especially the hot and sour soup and the beef in black bean sauce. Dim sum is yummy and the squid is a special treat.
Sometimes the kitchen is slow filling the buffet, but it has been better lately.
The server is very busy, but is so pleasant and tries to improve her English. We often bus our own table, but that is part of the experience. The owner is always gracious.
One improvement would be the cleaning of the carpet more often.
Great food for a great price at the lunch buffet!
OK, the place is a dump but the food is great! I go there regurlarly and love to take friends. I'd eat there every day if I could. I have to agree however that they do use alot of MSG and salt.
I love this place. I would say I go once every couple of months or so. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Once in a while the buffet has it's off day where the food is only adequate, but for the most part it's quite delicious. They have the best spring rolls in town and a variety of interesting and tasty items in the buffet.
I've read a couple of reviews here stating that their hot and sour soup is the best, but I would have to disagree. It's good, but compared to other chinese restaurants in Kitchener, it's a middle to low rank.
Thumbs up from this happy customer!
