    Came here for lunch and wasn't quite sure what to expect, but overall it just didn't hit for me. When I walked through the buffet line, a good number of the trays were empty and it took a while for staff to refill them with fresh food. It made the selection feel limited during my visit. In terms of taste, much of the food reminded me of standard cafeteria-style dishes -- filling, but nothing particularly memorable. I was also disappointed that seafood wasn't being served around the time I came (around 2:00 PM), especially since reviews suggest that's one of their stronger offerings. The restaurant itself appeared on the smaller side. The ambiance gave me more of a casual, neighborhood home town buffet vibe. Based on this experience, I'm not sure I'd return, but it may be worth trying during a busier service time when more items are fully stocked and seafood is available.

    We came here today after leaving Sac County State Fair. Absolutely loved it!! Seafood hit the spot , prices are right, and staff is good. Good quality food at a buffet. My favorite was the mussels !

    Very impressed by this Chinese buffet. The cost is about $28 per person, for full buffet enjoyment and drink, includes the tax. I went in hoping to like at least 50% of the items I tried, but I actually really enjoyed the majority of their buffet menu! It's not a huge buffet, but they have a lot of variety and the food is very flavorful. The items that stand out are the honey walnut shrimp, the green beans, the sushi with the cream cheese, the garlic shrimp, and I would say the hot sour soup! But there's a lot I didn't get to try (this is despite getting up a total of maybe 4 time to get more food). The restaurant itself was pretty busy, definitely a family-friendly vibe, I'd say the staff was friendly and quick to remove used plates from our tables. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is because the floor wasn't as clean as I think it should have been, I saw scraps of garbage and food in very visible areas but the employees didn't pick it up during my time there. This won't deter me from going again though :)

    I came over on a Saturday at noon, and they weren't that busy. I was surprised. On the weekend, it's the dinner menu all day long, and it's about $27 and change after tax, which includes your drink, and that's not bad. They do offer a senior discount if you are over 65. It is a smaller buffet, but they did have lots of choices. They had a salad bar, a decent sized, dessert bar, a good sushi section, and a Mongolian BBQ/hibachi station. They had. American choices, such as french fries, fried chicken, pizza. And your normal Chinese choices like broccoli, beef, pepper, beef, etc.... They also have a few dim sum selections. I tried the siu mai, and it was OK, but nothing spectacular. They had three different soups. I tried the tamarind soup, but to me, it was a bit too sour. I know that that's the nature of tamarind, but I thought they would "zhuzh it up", to make it a little bit more savory. In fitting with the name of the restaurant, they had a lot of seafood. Fresh crab legs. Fried crab, "Crab" and cheese, which is actually a fish called surimi. You will often see it called " Krab." They had oysters on the half shell, and they had stuffed oysters. They had crawdads, And they even had snails! The snails were very good, but they were pretty spicy, and I wish they would've marked that the way they marked that the crawdads were spicy. I didn't go for the crawdads. They had baked salmon They had shrimp several ways, including peel and eat, fried shrimp, and coconut shrimp, which I absolutely love. Apparently the peel and eat shrimp and the fried shrimp were not deveined, I know that's not a big deal, I'm just not a fan of eating "shrimp poop." Overall, I thought it was a good meal. I would like to come back at lunchtime sometime, to see what the difference in the menu is. Lunchtime the price is less. Thanks.

    It was a 10/10 for me! Now, this isn't The Bacchanal but it definitely hit the spot! I wanted a Chinese buffet and this was exactly what I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed the chilled snow crab legs. The meat was sweet and plump. The raw oysters were fresh and clean! Captain has a variety of Chinese dishes like the fried rice, chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and dim sum. 10/10 They had Japanese food like an array of sushi rolls, sashimi and baked giant oysters. Bomb! My other favorite dishes were the crawfish, fried blue crabs, fried salt & pepper shrimp and the corn. They also had sinigang soup for the Filipinos out there. All in all, I'd definitely come back again. They're very clean here and constantly wiping, cleaning and replenishing items.

    The price was phenomenal! For my husband and I with drinks under $55 Lots of variety. The muscles were good Not a fan of trying to get crab out but honestly it taste great. Did you know they have a Mongolia bar as well. You can't add your sauces but be careful when asked if you want hot. Hubby said his was too spicy hot and he loves spicy. 4-5 You go right in get your seat. Quickly. Big establishment open floor plan. Options for kids etc. Did not like the crab cheese thing. I did not try the soups. Shrimp cooked was 5-5 Service 4-5 They didn't clear the table right away. I do believe they were busy in the back. Please take cash to leave a tip on table. They do have you sign credit card etc. Value wise etc. 4-5 super happy this place is here! Will be back

    Closed in the middle of lunch

    Looks like they are permanently closed and the front door sign says closed for remodeling and I seen no construction going on just empty parking lots front and back and it was in the middle of lunch

    Celebrated my Uncle's birthday and he said he wanted to go to a buffet in town and of course I'm going to accommodate. Saw this place was new and just opened, taking over where Cracker and Barrel was. Upon entering the place was clean. Still brand new vibes. We paid and then sat down. The food was okay for the most part but it's a buffet so don't expect too much. Avoid the oysters at all cost. All in all, this was a good one time experience. I say come to the grand opening and find out for yourself.

    Dirty dishes being placed out..

    If you've ever wondered what disappointment tastes like, Captain Buffet in Sacramento offers a full, all-you-can-eat serving. At first glance, the buffet looks promising -- a wide selection of dishes neatly lined up, almost convincing you that you're in for a treat. Then you actually taste the food. The sushi has a unique dryness that could only be achieved by hours of patient neglect, and the fried items somehow manage to be both soggy and overcooked at the same time -- an impressive feat, really. The hot dishes are lukewarm, which is perfect if you enjoy playing "Guess How Long This Has Been Sitting Here." Even the fried rice and lo mein, which are usually safe bets at buffets, were oddly bland, as if someone had gone out of their way to remove every trace of flavor. Dessert? Well, the cakes tasted like they came from a freezer, which I suppose they probably did. The fruit wasn't bad... if you didn't mind it looking tired. On the plus side, the staff was polite, though they seemed just as underwhelmed by the food as I was. For the price, I'd hoped for at least one dish worth going back for. Unfortunately, Captain Buffet will not be getting a second visit from me -- once was more than enough.

    Took over the Cracker Barrel that used to be here. AYCE buffet that is Asian fusion. There's options such as sushi, hibachi, pizza, shrimp, and more. Pricing here is very reasonable. I came here during lunch but would come back for dinner to see the other options.

    I really want to give this place a chance. I met up with some friends for dinner. You pay when you first get in. There is 5% service charge added to the check. The drinks are included. They have Pepsi but no coke. I opted for their unsweetened ice tea. This place seems to have a variety of food choices. I was trying to avoid the seafood just in case. They have sushi and a lot of staple Chinese dishes, coconut shrimp, Beijing beef, kung pao chicken, etc. Everything felt very salty to me. Surprisingly, their homemade pizza was good. The staff was nice, and I saw them restocking food and dishes. They have an ice cream freezer, which includes little cups of ice cream; some are fat free but not sugar free. Overall, probably not worth the dinner price. Lunch prices seems more fair.

    Kind of annoyed. We came in at 11:30, the TV for the menu prices were NOT on. I paid 61.40 for two people and was kind of confused as online it says 23.99. AFTER i asked about it, she said "oh the prices are actually 26.99 theres nothing i can do about it." Then turned the tv on to show the prices. We sat down and ate anyways and it was okay. The rice, cheese muscles and egg drop soup were actually pretty good. Had a hard time opening the crab legs though. They were a bit over cooked:(

    The food is good I don't understand why the restaurant is so empty. I will recommend it to family and friends.

    First time experiencing the menu outside of Dim Sum. Here are my notes:…read more Special Fried Rice in Claypot - Refreshing fried rice due to the addition of the cilantro. You can taste the umami from the roe and other ingredients that I am not entirely sure are but taste familiar. I enjoyed and loved it. Mapo Tofu - Firm Tofu and good sauce. Although I do enjoy more of a Sichuan-style spicy mapo tofu (with the very numbing taste), I still found this mapo tofu delicious as you can taste the flavor of the pork and sauce coating the tofu. 2 Entree BBQ Platter: Roast Duck and Empress chicken - I'm biased towards roast duck. I love roast duck so any roast duck is good to me. Not a lot of comment on the duck. However, the Empress Chicken is nicely seasoned with the whatever broth they cooked it in. One of the few Empress Chickens where I can enjoy it without the scallion-ginger oil, but the scallion-ginger oil still elevates this Chicken to a higher level. Congee with Pork and Preserved Egg - Comforting and triggers a lot of nostalgic feelings for me. I didn't have to add too much additional soy sauce or chili sauce because the congee has a great base flavor. Preserved egg and pork weren't too chunky, rice was not too "mushy", and the overall congee was in a good thickness to create a nice mouth feel for each bite. Will visit again to try the other dishes.

    Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 2/5…read moreFood: 5/5 Drinks: n/a Price: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 Debated how to write this review. The food was fantastic. Drinks aren't rated, as they don't sell house cocktails (though they sell a small selection of beers and wines). All-in-all a solid menu. The dilemma is that we generally felt unwelcome. We came by on a Sunday evening at 6:30 pm (and paid and left by 8:20 pm which is 10 minutes before closing). We were a party of 8 with diverse backgrounds, and with exception to one server (a woman wearing red who was maybe a manager), the staff just weren't friendly toward us. I will say that one woman in red was so kind. She made sure to say "bye" as we left. I will add one of my friends mistakenly tried to take a pair of chopsticks (as they are set on the table in a paper slip). She didn't realize they were store owned/reusable vs throwaway. She quickly apologized, but that became the final straw of awkwardness with the staff. The food was genuinely great with appropriate prices, so I may give it another shot down the road as a date night option.

    A great spot for a solid Chinese meal--and surprisingly, an amazing banana cream pie!…read more The service was friendly overall, although our table wasn't checked on very often since it was so busy. That said, the food more than made up for it. Our favorite dish by far was the Spicy Calamari with Basil. It's something I'd absolutely come back for--the calamari was tender with a great texture, and the sweet, savory flavors paired perfectly with everything else we ordered. The Garlic Chili Green Beans were another standout. They had great flavor and still retained a nice crunch instead of being overly soft, giving them the perfect stir-fried texture. The Vegetable Chow Fun (with beef added) was decent but a little dry for my taste, so it's probably not something I'd order again. By the end of the meal we were completely stuffed, but we couldn't resist trying the banana cream pie. It looked huge when it arrived, and we honestly didn't think we'd finish it--but it was so delicious that we ended up eating the whole thing. Definitely don't skip dessert! I also appreciated that when I asked for hot sauce, they brought out several different options to try, including what seemed like a garlic chili sauce, chili crisp, hot mustard, and sweet and sour sauce. It was a fun touch that let us customize each bite. The restaurant also has a lot of history and character. We walked in casually without realizing it was a more upscale sit-down restaurant, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our day. If you go, the Spicy Calamari with Basil and the banana cream pie are absolute must-orders!

    I've been here twice now, once to try the food in restaurant (randomly), and the second time…read morerecently for a friend's birthday. Both times, the food was good. My goal is to come here during dine downtown week in January to try that menu since I hear it's worth it. For parking, it's either street parking or you can do valet parking in the garage right next door. There is no self parking in the garage. Street parking is self parking. The restaurant itself is like a long, large hallway. When you walk in, your greeted by the host desk. Then you walk towards the back and pass a bunch of booths, tables and the bar area to the right. It's built like a Craftsman style layout. When I was here recently, it was for a friend's birthday and there was a group of 10+ of us. They only do family style food so our group was split into 2 tables and each table ordered their own entrees and meals to eat family style. I was at a table of perks I had just met that night, but we had no issues sharing plates. This may not be for everyone, do you can still order your own entrees, but there won't be much variety if you don't have a lot of people. The food was good. We ordered wallet shrimp, Buddha's delight, the curry noodles/chow mein, garlic green beans and chicken chow mein. All three good was good. I would say it's above average and comparable to Din Tai Fung, but a bit cheaper. I liked the walnut shrimp, garlic green beans and buddhas delight. Service was decent. It could've been better, but could've been worse. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. I'll be back when dine downtown rolls around.

I ended up ordering the pork steamed rice noodle roll, the beef and cilantro steamed rice noodle roll, the garlic long beans, and the beef and mixed mushrooms. I saw a couple of other Elites dining in when I was ordering, but it was so busy I couldn't properly say hi, so "HI DAVID AND EVA!" I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.

This restaurant is a to-go only restaurant, and gets plenty of traffic from the area. I went midday (3:00pm) and there were at least 4 customers in and out during the time I was there. While I was checking their menu, I decided to order, since I remember how good their chicken wings are. I ordered the chicken wings, and a lunch combo with chicken with black bean sauce. The combo comes with chow mein and fried rice and an egg roll for $13.99 but I asked for steam rice instead of fried rice. Unfortunately, I didn't check my plate before leaving the restaurant because they gave me all steam rice and no chow mein. Despite the error, their chicken wings are still the best, and the chicken with black bean sauce was very good. I would've like to have tried the chow mein. Also, I didn't notice that they charged $16.99 for the plate, which was a little steep considering I got no chow mein. Some of the condiments are extra, like the hot mustard, so ask for it before they ring up your bill. I'm sure I'll be going back for the chicken wings because it's made fresh and it's really good.

    Tried this hidden gem for lunch today. I was impressed. The place only does take out. If you pay in…read morecash you can avoid the 4% credit card fee. Don't ask for hot sauce, chili oil, or anything extra because they say no. They do have hot mustard and sweet and sour sauce for sale. This place has no frills, just good, fresh and generous portions. My new go to spot if you want good Chinese food. I ordered the sesame chicken lunch special, $14.25. After tax and cash discount, $15.50. It smacked. Waiting are is covered in pictures of their plates. It's worth to look at.

    It's very interesting how people can interpret new ownership/management and chefs. While we didn't…read moreknow when we entered recently that something had changed, it was obvious when we started eating our food. Some people have written very, very recently that things have changed, and it was reflected in the food. We had been going here for years, and it tasted different this time. There was just something lacking from what I remember. It's good, but not exceptionally great. The char siu tasted different, as did the empress chicken. The house special pan fried noodle also didn't taste the same. These specific dishes used to be some of our faves when we went there, and it didn't hit the same this time. It also felt like the menu was different from when we last went. While we could check from our menus from a few years before, that was what we felt. It did get packed, so obviously still popular. The parking lot still is a pain in the butt to deal with, so some things haven't changed lol.

    A group of 7 of us came here for dinner around 6pm. They sat us and then never came to take the…read moreorder until we got up. Then we finally ordered. It's a no frills place. Service is not friendly but the food was hot and tasty. Prices and portions were also great. They filled our glasses of water and again until we left. They allowed us to bring wine and no corkage fee so that was a plus. All in all we had a good dinner and left with a full belly and to go boxes. We got complimentary jello as a dessert/digstive.
