Heard good things about this place, tried it out on a Saturday night and there were parties standing outside waiting to be seated. It took 15-20 to seat me (party of one). I believe it was well worth the wait and roughly $28 after tax. Many options, food out look good, tasted just as good. I was so full on the hot food and seafood, I didn't have room to try any fruits or dessert. Would definitely return. read more

I was excited to see this place was going to open , but after eating lunch here twice don't bother. The food is tasteless and unappetizing. If all you want to do is fill up on poor food , this is it read more

The food was delicious ! Loved their sushi bar and variety of food . Lunch special came with a drink Restaurant was very clean and the servers were attentive picking up plates from tables I will be going back read more

We were here for lunch, and the selection wasn't as big as we anticipated. I believe they have more food options at dinner. The food was mediocre for buffet food. There is a good variety to choose from, including salad, Mongolian bbq, sushi, and even pizza to satisfy kids or picky eaters. Quality of food is average. There is also fruit, desserts, and a soft serve dispenser. Lunch price is really affordable and includes drinks. That is rear for buffets. There is also a 10% discount for seniors. read more

This restaurant removed my review and is currently under citation by the Health Department. My husband and son ate there Sunday, 10/13/24 and both have food poisoning. My son was hospitalized. I'm certain they will remove this review as well so I am going to post it on both Google and Reddit. Their refrigerators aren't operating at acceptable temperatures and they were told last week they needed to close. They did not close. On Sunday, the buffet stations were packed with people, and the staff could not keep up with providing clean plates, silverware and glasses. Serving utensils were greasy and filthy and were cross contaminating. I'm attempting to recreate my entire previous review. Stay away from this place. read more

This was my first visit to Beijing Buffet and overall it was ok. Definitely cleaner than so many of the other buffets in the area, and the workers are quick to clear plates and tables. Good selection of food, all cooked well. The only reason I would hesitate to go back is because it was HOT AS HECK in there. I'm not sure if it was because there was a slight breeze outside or if it's because they need to keep the food warm, but the temperature of the building made it almost unbearable. read more

Our first time at Beijing Buffet was a good experience. The food was fresh and wide array of selections were available when we made our selections. Although the menu was lunch buffet, the selections were more than sufficient for lunch time. There were many desserts and two choices of ice cream. I am looking forward to the dinner menu with a large selection from the grill. read more

Food was delicious, with a wealth of choices, the memu being strong on seafood entrees. There was no beef rib roast which I was looking forward to, however. read more

So I heard this place just opened up. I don't normally do buffets anymore, but I had to try. This place is where the old Sizzlers used to be. Oh man! Did they have a great selection! To top it off, everything I chose was delicious!!! Baked mussels were a good size and not small like at other places. The shrimp fried rice was mmmm. They had OYSTERS!!!! SUSHI!!!! SAHSHIMI!!! They had a desert place but I didn't make it there yet. I'm still trying to finish my third plate! I haven't had more than two plates in years! I just finished my oysters and salmon sashimi. Mmmmmm! I think I'm going for a forth plate! Coconut shrimp, buttered shrimp, chow mien, they also can make a special chow mien for you!!! I think I will create another review later. I want to eat more!!! COME CHECK IT OUT!!! read more

Solid place to eat Very clean!!! I really enjoyed all of the dishes.I would recommend it. read more

Customer service sucks! The lady at the front desk needs a real attitude adjustment. Went to get food at 2:30pm they brought crab legs out at 3pm and was told I wasn't able to get them. Why bring them out if they don't want everyone that got there at 2pm to not grab any!? Food is pretty bad aswell. The only real enjoyable meal was the fresh cooked Mongolian style noodles. The food sucks and the bathrooms are in fact smelly and dirty first time there never going back. read more

Pretty good at a good price. Very clean attentive bussers. You can pick were you sit unless it's during busy hours but still good. Wait isn't bad read more

Beijing Buffet - Your statement regarding health inspections is not accurate. You do not need any more details from me. - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

Pros: clean, nicely decorated, easy to find plates and utensils, drinks are included Cons: not a big selection, big step in price for dinner and not much food is added to "dinner" option, staff is not super attentive (they came to pick up plates once in the hour ish we were there) Overall, I probably wouldn't go again. If I did it would be for lunch. The dinner price is not worth it at all. You pay before you eat. And they start charging dinner price 15 minute before dinner time. Dinner is listed 3pm on but we arrived around 2:45 and were given the dinner price. read more

Went for lunch. And it's the Bei Jing Buffet. Someone please tell Yelp. Lunch (11-2:45) is $16.99, Dinner (3-9) is $25.99. All Day Dinner on Weekends and Holidays. See pics for kids pricing, which goes by height. Seniors 65 and over get 10% off. To Go Options are Lunch, Dinner and All Seafood, and are per Pound. No crab legs, seemingly only at dinner, but a chef was hand making sushi behind the sushi station before carefully placing his beautiful creations on ice and in the case. And a Sir Fry Bar had a chef that gave the option of 5 or 6, lost count, different oils and sauces to go with vegetables, including BEAUTIFUL mushrooms and broccoli, seafood, chicken, steak and other stuff, I forget. I recommend a mixture of garlic oil, teriyaki and a little hot chili, but take as little noodles as possible, because it is out of this world good, like can't stop eating good, but super filling! The Fruit, what they had, was Big and Beautiful like the vegetables. It was good seeing all the fruit looking so ripe, sweet and delicious, and it was. Too many standouts to mention, the handmade cream cheese wontons, potstickers and spring rolls with the sweet and sour and whatever the brown sauce was next to them were excellent. Note that the potstickers are best when piping hot with the brown sauce. The usual items were all better than Panda Express, Broccoli Beef, Orange Chicken (not covered in batter, thank goodness) and Chicken Teriyaki. The mushroom chicken was a bit bland, but still good. The noodles were ok, but better to go get them fresh at the Stir Fry Bar. The fried rice was good, didn't see egg chunks, so not true fried rice, but had some little vegetable chunks, so better than the white rice with soy sauce some restaurants are now calling their fried rice. The Butter Shrimp and Fried Shrimp were stupendous. Oh, and the French fries, using whole skin on potatoes and seasoning, were super good. And don't be afraid to pile on the green beans, they were beyond! Cons were no house made hot mustard, that we could find, and no plain ice tea. We did find a hot tea station hiding behind the ice cream machine. It had hot water, Green Jasmine teabags and sugar packets and stuff. We ended up making a cup of hot tea, big thick heavy coffee cups, by the way, and dropping ice in it until it was cool enough to pour over a cup of ice. It made a good strong tea. And the cold drink cups are large, a good thing, not needing to get up and keep replenishing so often. Drinks are included, but we ended up with water because we don't drink soda. It's a family place and there were babies and toddlers there. Not sure what they drank. Didn't see little milk cartons on ice or fresh juices, for example. Desserts were ok, gratefully not super sweet (Hello, Golden Corral), but a couple of the cakes were on the dry side. Puddings tasted not homemade and not good, unfortunately. Best was what I am calling Mango Gel Squares, super amazing and fresh tasting. Also good were the Tiramisu bites and they have big Red Jello Squares, as every buffet should. The Soft Serve Ice Cream machine was Out of Order. We saw them stocking it, so maybe it was still getting the liquid cold enough to serve. I could go on obviously, just look at the pictures for all they have. I started with a plateful of only one piece of each item, because there was so much I wanted to try, then went back and got more of my favs until the Stir fry bar wiped me out and I couldn't eat anymore. Service was excellent. They don't bring you anything, drinks are included and you get them yourself, but the empty plates we put on the edge of the table disappeared almost as quickly as we put them down. I forgot to tip the Stir Fry Bar chef, he had a tip jar at his station, but you can tip ahead of time when you pay upon entering, like when it was Sizzler. And hub said he did that, so that is another way to tip. Note - We found if you want to ask a question, the Stir Fry Chef spoke the best English. read more

That food was good. People go over there and taste i people go over there and taste the food. It's very good.

I'm sorry but no:( I was so excited to try this place because I am a SUCKER for a good buffet but was extremely disappointed. Most of the food was very bland including the desserts. I can see the crab legs being a big focal point in the choices they have which would be a plus because they were good especially with the butter on the side but they don't even provide the necessary utensils to crack open the crab legs. I guess just use a fork and your teeth. As far as service we really didn't get checked on but i suppose that's to be expected with a mediocre buffet. read more

Lots of tasty items... if you don't like an item, try another one. It's all you can eat, so you'll find items you'll enjoy! They have Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian and American... for the price, you'll find tasty items. read more

Typical all you can eat Chinese food nothing special. Want good Chinese foid go to Tasty China in Ventura may not look like much from the inside but food is phenomenal. read more

First of all, the salad bar isn't anything special. Next, the sushi is tasteless. Now we get to the hot dishes. The calamari was tough and overcooked. The salmon is ruined by all this cheese covering it. The mushrooms are pretty good. The crab thing in a shell is bland and awful. I will never go back. The soft serve ice cream was the best thing. read more

I came here with a party of three for Christmas dinner. Being the pickiest eater, I left happy and satisfied. The menu offers a build your own teppan-style station and sushi rolls for lunch. Dinner also includes crab legs, baked oysters and both salmon and tuna sashimi that was very fresh. I loaded up on my favorites and my guests tried a bit of everything. Lots of variety and something for everyone. Lots of bussers and good customer service. read more

I just experienced one of the worst lunches in many years. This AYCE buffet offers below average food options. The quality of the meat, poultry and seafood was questionable. You go from chewy Chinese food to slimy sashimi, bland soups to dry deep fried shrimp. And to make it even worse, this place is extremely loud with no service whatsoever. The crazy thing is that this place was packed. read more

Good food, fresh and tasty. I liked the variety. Would definitely do it again. Highlights were the Mongolian grill and the sushi

Rude customer service. The food was really bad. It was $56 in total and the food was so bad. I got fried fish and it was undercooked. Never going back. read more

Food is decent with a large selection of dishes. I like the grill to order. Ambiance is ok not much to write about.

I haven't been to a buffet since before covid and I heard about this place in Ventura so I had to try it. I went during lunch and the inside was tidy and there was a good amount of people, they also had good music playing (like I knew every song). The host let us choose where we wanted to sit and the other staff would clear our plates when they saw we were done with it. The food was good especially the crab cakes, sushi rolls, and the shrimp. I went having eaten so I didn't eat much but I plan on going back to try the rest of it and the desserts. read more

Beijing Buffet - our plates to start off - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

I was really excited to try it! But I was very disappointed at my experience. The service is okay. The lady that was taking the plates was very tentative to picking them up. The food was the thing that was not okay. There is not that many options and the food is not warm enough it is cold. It's not even like medium hot it's just plain cold especially the chow mein. I did not like that and I assume that there is a certain degree to which the tempature was suppose to be. In total it was $100 for 4 people 3 adults and one child. The bathrooms were so dirty like really dirty that it made me not want to use them no more. There is not a lot of variety but, Go at your own risk but I would not recommend it. read more

Over priced for a very very small selection of food. I am not sure what Beijing Buffet the 5 star reviewers are eating at but there was no crab legs at all, the fried rice was bland, and again there was no real selection of food and there was a lot of empty slots for food that never got placed out. I don't see this place lasting long. Bring back Sizzler at least they had decent food. read more

This food is BOMB, not sure how they're even making money with this quality. It's soooo good. The quality for the low price is insane I can't stop eating!! read more

Beijing Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

Best buffet in Ventura County. Now, I know there aren't many buffets in Ventura County, but this definitely beats the others. The fresh raw oysters and cooked on the spot Mongolian bbq (with steak slices as a choice) alone makes this buffet an incredible value. There are many dishes to choose from, most are typical Asian buffet affair, and are decent in taste, and most seem fresh. The crab legs were ok, a bit on the dry side, but the garlic butter was delicious. I ended up just finding things to dip in the butter sauce. There were several sushi rolls including eel and California rolls, and tuna and salmon sashimi. The sushi is not high grade, but good and a good selection for a medium-sized buffet. I love seaweed salad and was happy they also served this, and kimchi. Dessert was also good with fruit, pineapple salad, gelatin, puddings, and more. But the best desserts here were the soft serve ice cream, the mocha cake, and mango cake. These cakes were light, creamy, and not too sweet. The soft serve and cakes were better than most restaurant ice cream and cakes. And a great plus is that fountain drinks and coffee is included in the price, unlike the other Asian buffet in Port Hueneme. We came for dinner on a Saturday night. The place was busy, and we found that it still had plenty of space to walk around, so I don't know why some were complaining about the spacing. Of course, you can't just cut through the seating space when it is crowded, but walking around was no big deal. The restaurant is clean, modern looking, and well lit. They did a great job with the remodeling of the old Sizzler's. Service was friendly and so fast that we couldn't finish our plates fast enough! And the workers refilled all the dishes quickly, even the raw oysters, which guests were emptying as quickly as the workers were filling them. We were there until about an hour before closing, and everything was still full and fresh. This is a sign of a well-managed buffet. We gave our bus person an extra tip just because she was efficient and always picked up our dishes with a smile. Highly recommend! read more

Main dishes are fantastic! Great flavor. Drinks are included in the price. Fruit, vegetables, ice cream , desserts, too. They clear away your plates pretty quickly. Service people were very polite. read more

This place was long awaited as the sign has been posted for months advertising to be open soon. So as you can imagine, we were excited to check it out. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. The price was almost $30 per person and the food selection minimal. They do offer sushi which was a nice touch however the line for that was very long and they were slow to deliver so we didn't even get to try any. The restaurant itself was clean and tidy although if you needed anything it was pretty difficult to locate someone who worked there for assistance. read more

Not authentic food just everything is fried and reheated food. Didn't meet my expectations better to have one good entree than so much fried food collection. read more

Well, it's a buffet. Some things are great, some are just ok. Lunch is a great value, dinner is pricier but they roll out more items to compensate. Sushi is fairly basic but plentiful and fresh. That alone is almost worth the price. 3 out of 4 times the cook overcooked the noodles on the grill. Still way ok. If you're hungry this is the place. If you're a super picky foody it probably isn't the best fit for you. Will return as it fills a need. Plus it's the only buffet in Ventura. read more

- Great food and atmosphere - lots of variety for both food and dessert - great for parties and large groups read more

Food: bland Service: the only people with a smile were the kids clearing our plates Ambiance: humid, odd decor and floor plan! Almost $88 for 3 people!!! We will NEVER RETURN!! We would give it zero stars if that were the option!! Do not waste your time or money...go to Panda express read more

The food is mostly bland and not very appealing. There were a few dishes that were decent. The best thing was the chow main since it was fried on the spot and you can chose the seasonings. Buffets makes me nervous because of the amount of people handling the food and this was not the exception. The place was crowded and difficult to navigate since you need to watch your every move if you want to get to the table with your plate intact. Desserts were pretty dry and chewy. Definitely not coming back. Better of buying from a regular Chinese restaurant that focuses on flavor rather than quantity. read more

This place was so amazing for dinner!!! They have delicious crab legs! And ice cream!

This place is way too overpriced for the greasy quality. Rather have Sizzler back with quality control.

Really rude service I ask the lady nicely if she could clean my sets and she look at me with a ugly face then when she was done she still look at me and rolled her eyes on me and my boyfriend like okay girl if your having a bad day don't come to work all rude the food no good I saw a cockroach under the table too expensive two people for $58 please works have good service people that will be nice not mean thank you read more
