The lunch buffet is really good lots of variety, fresh food and friendly service. Love the spring rolls, sweet and sour pork and curry beef brisket on rice. Also very affordable. I come here at least a few times a month with friends or family.

We order almost on a weekly basis and we are satisfied with their food very much! We often do takeouts for convenience and are ready so quickly just in time to feed our hungry stomachs.

I've be going to King Tin for years, and I know the family that owns this restaurant quite well now. Essentially, don't go here for the buffet, as this is for all the students to fill their faces whom King Tin help feed whilst attending University of Waterloo, and Laurier... Also, the decor is, well, a little in need of... More

I have eaten at this restaurant many times and have always enjoyed it. We have invited friends to go there and everybody has enjoyed it. They usually have interesting specials to choose from and the servers are always pleasant. The menu is quite extensive.
