    I was surprised with all the crabs and the roe inside... great selection of food and drinks. This place would be a solid 4 star for two reasons... if staff let up with cleaning the food service areas... and second, if people were so comfortable bringing their poor personal hygienic habits to a public eateries. I was happy to eat food that was newly brought out as I knew that it really hadn't been touched. But while waiting for some food items I'd watch as people would go around and serve themselves. Granted we came on Mother's Day weekend which may have been why there was so much going on. Here are a few examples of poor hygiene rants: 1. People getting sauce in their finger tips while holding serving spoons, putting their finger in their mouth to lick up the sauce and then grab another spoon with their licked finger to serve themselves 2. I watched someone spill some food in between two trays of food the use their finger to push it back in. I mean this concern could either be a staff cleaning the area or people being considerate and carefully putting food in.. or better yet just leave the food alone and don't use your fingers to place food into a tray that others are still trying to eat from. 3. People eat like it's the end of the world. Nothing wrong with getting seconds and getting a lot, but if the food is falling off your plate and onto the ground or back on to the food tray areas maybe get another plate? 4. The crab was okay, but when I've eaten crab at other buffets, there's less "brown" stuff on the crab's outer shell and legs before being consumed while still being filled with roe on the inside. Once I saw these things being done, I was happy to be a bit more picky and wait for trays that were newly brought. All in all, can't fault people completely for being comfortable in a place that serve good food, a wide variety of options for low priced buffet. If you're not concerned about some of the things mentioned earlier, I'd say this place your be 4-5 stars. The venue is large and spacious, there's a huge parking lot outside, and the staff are hard working and making sure they keep the place fairly clean, getting people in and out, replacing low tray items, and bussing the tables consistently. This place can get very busy with a line out the door (we came for Mother's Day and it was super busy) and I wonder if it's like this on other days/weekends.. Thank you for the good food, service, and lively atmosphere!

    This place used to be a nice spot... but the quality has gone down. They even let mold grow in the ceiling.

    People! Be very careful when you make your payment with a credit or debit card, today, February 14, my wife and I went to dinner at this buffet and when we made the payment for two people they charged us $54.85 and they gave us the receipt that amount actually appeared, but when the notification arrived on the cell phone they had charged us $548.59 dollars, when we realized we went and complained, the lady with glasses was very nervous, be very careful...And still the date is wrong

    pros: decided on this randomly. greeter/cashier: pleasant pay get my receipt & silverware find my table: clean the workers were busy but available they definitely wash the tables great job. i started with chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy, mushrooms,ribs ,white rice , and broccoli octopus: delicious i will definitely try it again earlier next time.. con: next time cook the chicken and the beef short ribs with 2 cups of water and 20 more minutes to get them tender .. sauce them not the pan.lol.. please change the flavor on the fried crab. please i wanted them bad. they lost a star because someone left the dirty dishes near the food

    $23.99 Asian seafood buffet on a Sunday is a great deal and I didn't expect anything spectacular, however I was pleasantly surprised! Our group of 4 was seated quickly and the dining area was large and VERY full of people. The buffet offered a large selection of sushi, traditional Chinese (walnut shrimp, orange chicken, beef broccoli) and unique seafood items. The food was continuously brought out and refreshed. My favorite was a tasty little crab and other shellfish like clams and mussels. The seafood soup was also very good. I came in with low expectations and was actually pretty happy with the food offered, variety, freshness and taste. I dont necessarily need to come here again but it was fun to try out.

    Best Asian buffet in the valley. I've been coming here since I was 14 years old. I'm now 26, and the food is still just as delicious. I've been to other Asian buffets and they do not compare to this place at all.

    The location of it in that strip mall will really throw you off. But, Won't hurt to go in and judge the inside, not the outside. A couple of things they have that are new to me that you need to look out for: A) Drinks are included in the charge and it's SELF SERVE so get as much yourself as you'd like. B) You seat yourself down. After I paid I stood there for a minute for someone to seat me. Until The front gal told me just pick any table and sit. Okay?? That's weird to me. I kept asking myself, Have they never been so busy that people might just not find a place to sit? As soon as I walked in, It looked like a shithouse. People are everywhere LITERALLY on top of each other. Saw some people even eating some food off the plate before they made it to their tables, Kids running everywhere. The place was just OVER packed. The food is actually decent!!! I didn't experience cold food or flies on my food like other people in the reviews. However, Some of it is super BLAND. Stay away from the mashed potato!! The meat is 50/50. The broccoli beef was super hard and fatty. They had a chicken on a skewer that was really good. The seafood is 50/50 also. The shrimp was not that great which disappointed me. The crabs were VERY SALTY; dry your mouth completely as it touches it. But, The Fried octopus was super good and flavorful.The desserts warren's that bad either. Those little chocolate balls were good...Overall, Very salty, Very bland. But also there's some good stuff. (CHECK OUT THE LAST PICTURE WITH MY HAND NEXT TO IT. THAT'S THE PLATE WITH THE BEST STUFF YOU CAN GET THERE). The staff was actually great. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in, They always made sure that the plates were taken away and the table clean. Replacing the food occasionally. However, The only complaint is that the bathroom was disgusting and needs to be worked on. For the price of it + The location. Please do not go there expecting much. It's not a Las Vegas buffet or something. So, Naturally, not everything would be the best. Also, The food didn't have labels. I know everything would be obvious, But there was some stuff new to me that I didn't know what it was. And, Since I don't speak Spanish or Asian, I had trouble finding out what kind of food for most of them. But I figured it out !! Your boy's smart, lol Thank you Asia Buffet. Might stop by again if only I was in the area!

    This review is only regarding the posted hours versus what I experienced upon arrival…read more I had a long day at work and was really looking forward to treating myself to what's rated as the best Chinese food in the area. I even drove a bit out of my way to come here, only to find a "closed" sign on the door. I truly hope everything is okay with the owners and staff, but it was disappointing that there wasn't any notice or backup plan for unexpected closures. From what I could see through the window, the restaurant looked very clean and well-kept. I'll definitely want to try again another time but will certainly call first!!!!

    It is not Frankensteins intention to be negative here today. But wholly Yelp hype Batman! Yes,…read moreFrankenstein can buy into a good hype every so often which the Bride of Frankenstein enjoys pointing out. Especially when Frankenstein is wrong. Frankenstein enjoys braised beef noodle soup. A lot. Frankenstein's heart was yanked out of his huge body and crushed when Mandarin Deli went out of business during Covid. A pain he still feels even today. They had the best Braised Beef Noodle Soup ever! Frankenstein went hook, line, and sinker when he read the Yelp hype about this place. Bottom line, nice people, not as awesome as was described. Braised Beef Noodle Soup- Sorry Noodles Kitchen but it's too chili hot. About a 8.5 to 9 on Frankensteins too hot scale. Beef was okay, not great. Noodles were good. Bride of Frankenstein had one taste and pushed it away. "Mucho Caliente" Orange Chicken, fine. Let's not go overboard everyone. Pan Fried Dumplings, good. Check it out for yourself. 10/11/2025 Update- It saddens Frankenstein to see so many fake reviews over and over again. Really Noodles Kitchen? Please.

Upon entry there is a takeout area where you can order hot meat dishes and to go menu or dine in. We got complimentary hot tea when seated. The interior is a bit dated compared with other restaurants of this type but the food was delicious. We got duck and preserved egg porridge, scrambled egg with shrimp, and a two bbq combo plate of char siu and roast pork. The porridge came out fast and delicious! We ate with the chili and white paper available at the table. Next came the scrambled egg and shrimp. We actually ordered the version with rice, not the entree so the servers got us some rice but missing the gravy. Lastly came the bbq combo plate. We thought it would arrive first since the meats were all ready to go in the takeout area. It came with some hoisin sauce. The char siu was tasty. The roast pork however was not as crispy and kinda mealy so the sauce helped.

    Sam Woo is the only authentic Cantonese spot in the valley my family has found so far…read more Even though they're known for their bbq meats, I would stay away from them as the ones we tried this time and in the past were pretty meh. Stick with ordering dishes off their menu instead. It's next to a Ranch, so there's plenty of parking available. We came by for lunch on Saturday around noon, and it was mostly filled up. It's not a big restaurant, and tables are placed pretty close to each other. That's how you know the place is going to be authentic lol They have a takeout area where you can get various bbq meats and some hot deli foods, but they also have a large menu you can order from. The four of us ordered the following dishes to try: #2 two item BBQ with roast pork and roast duck ($19.95 + $2 for roast pork) #78 chicken and veggie chow mein ($15.95) #85 beef chow fun ($16.95) #129 sauteed fish fillet ($18.95) #138 fresh squid in oyster sauce ($17.95) My favorite dish by far was the beef chow fun, which came as a huge platter and had really good wok hei flavor. The other noodle dish, the chow mein, was also good with huge portions. The fish and squid were both okay, but portions were small for the price, and to be honest, they were pretty similar down to the veggies used. We probably could've just ordered one. The most underwhelming was the bbq. The duck tasted okay but the cut they gave us was mostly bone and didn't have much meat. The roast pork was way too juicy and the skin, which is usually my favorite part due to the crisp, was tough and hard to chew.

The food is always fresh, always delicious, and they don't hold back--they load up your tray like they're trying to take care of you. The prices are fair, the staff is always friendly, and one thing I really appreciate is that they've stuck with their old-school stamp card. Buy five combos, get one free? In 2025? That's legendary. They take card, Apple Pay, Android Pay--whatever works for you. Their drink selection is on point too: bottled drinks, fountain drinks, and that Coke from the machine? It almost hits like McDonald's Coke... and that's saying something. China Grill Express has been my go-to spot for over two decades for a reason. Consistent, tasty, fresh, friendly, and forever worth the stop. Highly recommend!

It was not heavily greasy too, which makes is on the high side of good "Chinese" food. I know that if I have this type of craving, I would be willing to drive out of my way to come back here again. Worth the try.

First off, the place is kept clean, not crowded, there are seats to sit at, but all tables have been placed away. This place is more for take-out than dine-in. It's true what others have stated; the serving portions are very generous and they definitely overfill that container to-go. Too much that it may pop off open if you are not careful at closing it well. Best part, the prices are reasonable for what they serve you. My order included orange chicken, rice and chow mein. The orange chicken was very good, flavorful and not too greasy. The chow mein noodles are a little on the thicker side and orange color, noodles were cooked right and tasted really good. The fried rice was also very good, it included egg mixed in there as well. The food was tolerated well by my stomach and did not make it upset at all. They must use good oils when cooking. Fast service and line moves along pretty quick, this is a go-to when you are craving chinese food at a cheaper prices vs. the other competitor. give them a try if you are in the area next time.

Unfortunately, this is one of the worst tasting Chinese restaurants I have ever been to. I can't even understand how it was so crowded. Maybe it's the low prices. The hot and sour soup was OK, but tasted a little weird compared to what I'm used to it other places. The eggroll was fine, typical greasy eggroll. The Kung pow chicken was just bizarre. It was covered in a sweet sauce and was all dark meat so it was very chewy and fatty and skin and to me was just gross. This is one of the first times where I just stopped eating halfway through and left because I didn't feel like finishing my meal because it was so disgusting. At least to me. I don't think my Kung pow chicken should be so sweet. I didn't order orange chicken or sweet-and-sour chicken, but maybe those would have been better? I don't know. All I know is I didn't even finish my meal because the food was not edible to me. Service was fine, the guy was very busy so I never got refills and the food came fast. I'm not coming back here ever again. It was just not even worth the $15 I spent for lunch and I left with a seriously bad taste in my mouth. Not recommended one bit.
