Good selection of items, food quality was OK, service was pretty bad. I went by myself at around 4pm on a Friday afternoon to avoid the lunch and dinner rushes. The service definitely made me feel like I was just in the way. Even though the tables around me received service, my plates and napkins never got cleared even though I consolidated and stacked my own plates and I never got a refill on my soda. Im thinking because Im young (early 20s) and went alone, they thought I wasnt going to tip very well and just kept serving everyone around me. I even sat and waited after I was finished eating and at least two tables around me who were finished after I was received their bills and checks before I did. I actually had to get up and specifically ask a waiter for my bill because waving my hand wasnt helping me flag down service. After I received my bill, I visibly left money to pay for it but got tired of waiting and took it up to the counter to pay (I did leave a 10% tip at my table to be nice). I have not gone back since and do not plan to. I did not particularly enjoy feeling like a hindrance to their business and my money is just as good anywhere else.

들어가자마자 10분도 안되어서 나옴. 그 중 몇분은 내가 직접 테이블과 의자 닦음. 맛도없고 더럽고. 특히 해산물은 다 흙 맛이남. (대충 씻었던지 씻지 않고 조리한듯 함) 새우찐것도 1개씹다가 뱉어냄. 왜 평점이좋은지 이해가안감. 엄청 허기진 상태로 들어갔는데도 사진의 음식들 다 그대로 두고나옴.갈비는 질기고 잡채는 간장으로만 버무리고 문어초밥은 질기고 심지어 디저트도 거짓말 보태 질김 ㅠㅜ. 물주전자는 물때끼고 ㅠㅜ. 절대로 갈곳이못됨. 돈버리고 입맛버리고 시간낭비.

Id been craving Asian food for a while now and it was my birthday so my bf decided to bring me here. I love Asian food. Most of what I served myself was good but when it came to the veggie tempura it wasnt well fried. The batter was really chewy, it was still doughy and not crispy and flaky. My bf got some crawfish that was bad (old) and definitely not cooked right. Coulda been nice if they had some temaki too. I understand that they are cooking large portions and that we had gotten there right when the buffet had opened at 11. . I hope they are more careful when cooking because I really want to go back. Everything else was great, they had a big variety of food. Oh and one more thing, they service felt forced and a bit awkward too. Again I do understand that the servers can get nervous but it could have been better. Best for last . . PRICES. Cant be beat.

This is as much a review as it is a mental note to myself. Have you ever thought to yourself, "Wow I havent been to a buffet in a while, maybe its time I go and treat myself." Stop it! You know why you havent gone. It sucks. The food is poor quality. You think you want it at the moment, but like the morning after hooking up with an ex, youll feel disgusting and weak. The sushi rice is as good as it is at AMPM. The meat is over 50% fat. We felt disgusting the entire time we were there. There is no health rating on the window. I paid $40 for two people on a Saturday. It was well worth the lesson. Id gladly pay more to remind myself that Im worthy of loving and respecting myself. If you make it all the way to the end of this just remember you deserve love and respect. Go to Taco Bell down the street and buy the Grande Meal.

This is a great buffet. Its got a huge selection theres something for everyone. You cant eat it all. I goto buffets with friends and family not to fatten up, but in order to choose what we each like to eat instead of ordering huge portions and having leftovers or doing pot luck style dinners where some plates get gobbled and others go untouched. It looks like a Vegas restaurant but without the Vegas prices. What happened to Vegas it used to be cool and cheap now everythings overpriced. Anyways, Gold Hibachi started out so cheap to lure people in. Even though prices are a couple bucks higher now its still a great deal and much cheaper than ordering a combo and desert from nearby fast food joints. Plus its not as crowded as before, so more salmon and crab legs for us, yum!

Its a different kind of Asian/Chinese buffet, it has good options for kids, theres a stir fry station where you can select the ingredients and the chef will prepare it right in front of you. The seafood selection are nice and is one of the main attraction to this Buffet the best time to dine would be dinner time they have Mochi ice cream for dessert and a few other dishes that are not available during lunch. The atmosphere is very relaxed the servers are quick to clear your table when youre ready for round 2. Overall this place has a little bit of everything for everyone if you dont mind the decor which is a little bit out-dated so bring a group of friends or family and enjoy by the way it seems like there is no time limit for the stay which is a plus in my book.

Best cheap asian seafood buffet - I went on a weekday dinner. Checkin on Yelp if you want free soft-drink. Id give it 3.25 stars, but Im not a big fan of these cheap buffets. (Well most buffets in general) However, if you love cheap buffets, +1 or 2 stars for you as this is the best Ive come across in the SGV - which would make this a 5 star for you or a solid 4.25. My dad gives it 5 stars - he loves cheap, variety, and decent food. Of note was the king crab legs, which actually were OK. The steamed fish I had was also decent. The oysters were ginormous. I tried a soup from the selection and it was good (had the Daikon). The stir fry beef was decent (limit 2 pieces per visit to the station).

Fui por primera vez junto a mi esposa, y realmente fue una muy buena elección. Este buffet tiene variedad, el lugar es limpio y la atención es buena, nosotros fuimos un lunes por la noche, había una buena cantidad de gente, no tuvimos que esperar para acceder a una mesa y el precio fue de $14 dólares por cada uno, definitivamente regresaremos!

This buffet place is amazing. Customer service is very good, especially at an asian owned seafood buffet. The host was extremely nice and accommodated us very well. We were seated and the staffs were efficient in cleaning and tending to our needs. Overall the employees were very nice compared to other places around that area. The crab claws and prawns were amazing. The steak was a little on the chewy side, but there were so much variety to choose from. We had 5 adults and five kids and the bill was only about $120. Will definitely go back again.
