At first glance, Asia Buffet seemed to have some points going for it- from the filled seats throughout the restaurant to the prominent display of ample crawfish and crab legs at the front of the salad bar, the variety of sushi at the back, and the cartons of real ice cream nearby. The staff was friendly enough and O saw workers chatting with the customers on several occasions. However, one need only to take a bite of the white fish sashimi to discern its incredibly rubbery texture and lack of any natural sweet fish flavor. I couldnt even bite into the sea snail. Honestly, Ive never eaten such a quality of seafood in my life. The crab was likewise lacking flavor but oily and fried to such an extent that the shell flakes off all over the meat. Much of the other foods tasted of the typical "meh" buffet fare- often too greasy and/or tasteless- from eggplants to cantaloupe and cake. Moreover, the cleanliness of the restaurant was truly dismal at the time of my visit (a Sunday evening). The carpet throughout the restaurant was soaked, dribbled, and peppered with all manner of solids and liquids- try not to look too close. Definitely try not to drop things on the floor, but I hope for your sake that if you do, they dont need picking up. The food area likewise displayed too much food on its tiled floor, and that ice cream scoop? It was impossible not to prevent your hands from getting sticky touching it. :( This restaurant scared me.

The staff doesnt do anything. They just stand there and have their phones out. The girls on the front pay no attention to the customers entering, they are rude, have side conversations while customers are trying to talk to them, are taking selfies while customers just stand there waiting to be seated. The food is cold, the sushi is not even real sushi, none of the food has a decent or an okay taste. It is simply disgusting. My boyfriend spilled his drink and one of the workers, whos job is to clean tables and pick up the dirty dishes, just looked over at us and completely ignored us. Not caring about the spilled beverage. The customers sitting across from us asked one of the workers if they were short-staffed and the worker just came up with an excuse and said yes. Obviously there was enough staff but was not getting the job done. The place was almost empty, all customers tables had stacks of dirty dishes that the staff would not pick up. This place is simply HORRIBLE and not worth it at all. Never going back there again.

As a person that has eaten at this buffet over a dozen times and most recently this evening, plus the fact that I have eaten at buffets throughout the U.S. and around the world, I feel I have a fairly good perspective on this type of restaurant. I would say that two of the strongest pluses that this buffet has to offer is a very wide and comprehensive selection of both main dishes, side dishes, and deserts to choose from and it offers this wide selection at very reasonable prices. The food is good, but not excellent. For a buffet at their price, it is hard to beat. As others have commented, their are some items that are a bit greasy and I try to avoid those items, but for the most part the food is tasty and seems to be well prepared.

My wife and I had a hard time stomaching the food as it seemed it was not fresh or the taste was OFF. I finished my plate, against my wifes better judgement, but she did not. It is a good thing that our body is made to reject things when they are not good for us. I had not even left the place yet, when I started to feel stomach nausea, but I didnt want to go to there restroom. I was lucky, though, to make it to Walmart restroom as I was headed there anyway. No, the price is not worth it, even free is not worth it.

First time here and California in general and this place is nothing compared to what the internet says. Food is dry and nasty. The whole time we were there I only ate rice because they didnt have half the trays filled With food . I asked over and over when they would bring out more food no answer just ignored me. I asked in English and Spanish since the gentleman was Hispanic and still no food so we left paying our meal and I only ate rice and drank water ......dont not recommend at all!!!!!!!

The price was fine. However the food was over oily and the fish was stacked high and burnt. The fried fish had more fry than fish which may be cool for some yet was blah for me. I was disappointed with their selection, I took a chance since the smell was inticing. Had some Eggplant that had been sitting in oil for I dont know how long....The best thing was their prepackaged icecream. I RATHER PAY MORE FOR FRESHFOOD

This restaurants biggest challenge is the food, and they lost! My chicken barbecue was hard like beef jerky, the shrimp was tough and spongy, my green beans were cold, the egg drop soup was like some sort of yellow mucus, I could go on but I didnt have the stomach to! If you care about eating healthy, or not, this is not the place for you.

First time here cuz the buffet we usually went to closed. Food was great and you cant beat the price. Nothing I ate tasted bad. I do see how some say the service is not good. You have to flag a person down for a refill or to take the plates but when we did the person was helpful and friendly. We will definitely come back.

I come to this place like twice or thrice a month on weekends and on weekdays and for the price this buffet offers great value! It is not a high-end buffet but it has my favorites like mussels, shrimp and crab in the weekends and BBQ ribs and spicy wings on weekdays. Awesome selection fresh fruits good tasting soups.

The place itself looks very clean and the service was good but I must say the food is nothing to write home about. The price was very cheap as far as buffets go but I dont see myself returning. Ive had better tasting food at my local Chinese place. They have a nice selection of food I just wish the flavor was there.

Horrible service,food is worst and they wait til you have 20 plates on the table before they bus out the dirty plates. We came last year for the holiday and it was the same but im type to try to give them a second chance. Thats it. Dont waste your time or money at this place.
