"I hate to do it, just as bad as you hate to see it done, now calm your boys" As a a non-seafoodie, I entered with trepidation...as soon as I stepped in, the stench of seafood hit me in the face, oh no...I had a strong inkling of what was to come. Disclaimer: Had I not been part of a large gathering that was coming here, I doubt I ever would have come to this buffet. Pros: They had the World Cup playing on a "2017 New" 36ish inch TV with the tags still on it The food was mostly hot The cream cheese wontons were delicious, creamy, and crispy Cons: I tried like 11 items, and only the cream cheese wontons were hittin'. Out of the 11 items I tried, only 3-4 items were passable as decent The food was salty The black pepper chicken tasted like fish The food ended up giving my bubble guts the bubble guts-SHEESH! While there were loads of offerings, which I appreciate, the organization of said offerings were a bit strange. The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions. It just wasn't for me.

Came here after Legoland and we made a reservation since this place gets busy. First time here, the…read moreplaza was crowded when it comes to parking. This was a different Korean BBQ experience, very unique because you actually get to choose and grab your own meat, and their salad bar had good selections from spice to non-spice. Also, the perks they serve boba drinks here which was a plus for the kids, small selection, but it had Tapioca which made them happy. The table setting can be a bit tight, chairs close to other tables was my only con. The meat was favorable, the staff members were attentive and the kids loved the fact that they had a variety to choose from. I do like how they have the fans above the grill because it didn't smell as much like a typical Korean BBQ restaurant.

I paid $140.00 through Groupon, and after the service, they tried to charge me an additional $58 in…read moregratuity. This additional charge was not clearly explained to me when I arrived or before the service began. When I questioned the charge, the employee simply told me to "read the menu." I took a picture of the fine print because it was extremely difficult to read and was not clearly presented. If there is a mandatory gratuity or additional fee, it should be clearly disclosed to customers before they receive the service--not afterward. I explained that I did not agree to the additional $58 charge and that I was willing to leave a reasonable tip based on the original $140 amount I had already paid through Groupon. What made the situation even more upsetting was what happened while I was paying the bill in cash. My child was recording me with the camera while I made the cash payment, and the employee grabbed my child's arm because he was recording. I found it completely inappropriate for an employee to physically grab my child simply because he was recording me making the payment. I also put a picture of the menu where she told me I supposed to find the information about the extra charges. It's not legible. I was extremely disappointed by the customer service, the way my child was treated, and the lack of transparency regarding the additional charges. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this place.

I'm surprised this place is still around! Golden Corrals are franchised, and I'm sure there are…read moreprobably decent ones somewhere else in the country that may be similar to Hometown Buffet. BUT this one ain't it! There were a handful of items that were decently edible like mashed potatoes and gravy. The salad bar was also alright. It's difficult to mess up chopped lettuce mix because it only requires opening a bag or container and pouring the contents into the bin. Fried chicken was fine as long as you are able to get a piece or two. I noticed if you come in later in the evening, the food is not replenished so you are stuck with bottom of the bin caked on dry remnants. Here are the highlights: the server bringing the drinks and busing tables was doing her best to be happy and welcoming. One of the cooks was very courteous and also did her best to anticipate customer needs. They get two thumbs up! Now for the fun part: The clam chowder was too salty and had an aftertaste of old dirty towel, promising a fitting end to my evening with a bad tummy ache. The cook making the steak didn't seem to care about communicating a single word with the customers. Her sole purpose was to repeatedly flip something that looked like meat and point to a bin full of burned protein hockey pucks. I noticed how the line of hungry patrons grew with eager anticipation as she stopped flipping and started attempting to slice. As each diner finally walked away with something on their plate, she was free to disappear in the back to probably make more clam chowder. I watched a couple seated near me with steak on their plate. Husband was breaking a sweat trying to slice a piece while his wife was busy trying to gracefully eject something inedible from her mouth. Now on to the pinnacle of the meal - dessert time. There wasn't much left, so I chose a slice of pecan pie. It looked promising, like something you could pick up at the local grocery store, but that's where any similarity ends. It tasted old and stale, like it was made from expired corn syrup found at the bottom of the moldy basement. The soft serve ice cream machine was screaming like an exit door alarm every time someone pulled the arm to coax out some frozen ice milk. Then I spotted the highlight of the evening. I didn't think it was possible to mess up jello, but heck you learn something new everyday. I captured that masterpiece in a photo. Sadly, the owner of this location really needs to put many improvements in place. People do enjoy going to buffets and truly miss Souplantation and HomeTown Buffet. Golden Corral has the potential to fill this gap. It is in a good location anchored by Target with lots of parking to serve a busy neighborhood in oceanside. It also has a few employees who still care to do a good job. So please take the good location and good staff and make this Golden Corral a worthy business for hungry patrons looking to spend money at a place with quality food and variety.

The staff was on it when it comes to clearing our table. They were efficient and friendly, that's about it. We went on Sunday lunch, arrived around 1ish. It wasn't packed, but a lot of containers were empty. Steak. They didn't have a consistent person there, at times people just waited until someone showed up. They also gave super rare meat. The outside was nicely charred, but the inside, pure red. Unfortunately, the attendant lady making it didn't speak English and luckily, a gentleman waiting with us was able to translate for us. We were asking for medium. It was still given to us super rare. Also, it was pretty much unsanitary or cross contamination as they used the same tong to grab raw meat, grill the meat, then put the meat on our plate. I'm talking about she's using the same tong mid way grabbing raw meat and flipping and giving us our steak. Food signage was all over the place. About 50% (or more) was off. So don't even bother reading those, just assume what you're grabbing. Everything tasted bland or generic, like no name brand food just got heated and put on the platter, same for the salad items. Like I mentioned, you go here to get full. We got buy one get one free meal, so essentially, for $11 per person, it's a great deal, but I'd never pay full price for them. I'd rather go to a Chinese Buffet and enjoy some fried rice. I knew what I was expecting in terms of quality. I would have probably given them more stars if they didn't have so many empty stations (which sat empty for a long time). Oh, they eventually had ham, but oh man, that was super dry! I did enjoy their pina colada slurpee, fried chicken, and chocolate covered dessert .

I love chicken wings and chose it for my one-item combo which includes fried rice & chow mein. Huge meal for someone very hungry...or 2 meals easily shared. The Huz had the shrimp fried rice (which they make to-order, and takes just a tad bit longer to receive) and my sons had a one-item combo with chicken teriyaki as the main. The chicken teriyaki has a sweet flavor and the boys liked it. The service is friendly and helpful. The dining area is medium size and if you can snag a table on a less busy time, it's quite comfortable and clean. This will be a regular stop for us when we're in the area.

There's also a very robust salad bar with a healthy number of offerings (including warm side dishes and soup) to complement the protein options. After we were seated, the meat merry-go-round began. It was just soooooo great. They served delicious cuts of filet mignon, sirloin, flank steak, picanha (my personal favorite), and sausage (chicken was also available but we stayed with the beef and pork). In addition, he served brought pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), french fries, and garlic mashed potatoes to the table as well. Everything was well-seasoned, the salad bar offerings fresh, and skewer offerings hot off the rotisserie/grill. The restaurant itself was really nicely decorated, spacious, and clean. Our waitress was fantastic and all the skewer-servers circulated frequently and were friendly (I've been to place like this where they try to hold out on the proteins - DEFINITELY NOT the case here). Overall, it was an excellent experience. The salad bar was missing a few more traditional Brazilian items but I nothing to cry about. We both ate til we couldn't take it any more and we would DEFINITELY return after we unclog our arteries.

If you are ever in Oceanside, California, and you like seafood and Cajun seasoning, highly…read morerecommend checking out The Crab Pub on Mission Ave. The Crab Pub is a seafood boil restaurant that is located in the inland of Oceanside and not near the overcrowded downtown area. They can be accessed via Highway 76 and getting on Mission Avenue. The shopping plaza they are in allows for ample parking space. The Crab Pub has a spacious interior and there's plenty of big tables for groups and families. They also have a separate dining area set aside from the main space and they also have a party room that can be reserved. Service was fast and attentive and there was very little wait time. There is also a bar on premise, but they do not have a hard liquor license just yet. But you can always enjoy a beer or my favorite is Soju. One of my favorite meals here is a crab boil bag that contains mussels, shrimp, crawfish, potatoes, corn, boiled eggs, and crab legs. I like to get this with their pub sauce. The Cajun seasoning is so flavorful! Their crawfish are pretty decent in size and I may sometimes order a bag on the side. For starters, their fried calamari is OK, but doesn't come as crispy as I would like. But I like their clam chowder and I love their cheesy garlic bread! Overall, I've eaten at the Crab Pub twice, and I've loved both experiences, and I will definitely come back for their seafood. I'm very picky about where I go to eat seafood for fear of getting sick and this place is a safe bet

I like that this place uses the Yelp waitlist because I put my name down as we were on our way over and arrived just in time. We were seated quickly on a Saturday evening around 6 pm. There are a good amount of tables inside. They also had some TVs showing baseball games around. The service was amazing here. It felt like the waiters and waitresses were constantly eyeing our table to see if we needed anything or were ready to order more. They refilled our water carafe before it was completely empty, changed our grills before we asked, and took away empty plates as soon as we cleared them. I also appreciated that they put salt or something on the ground so it wasn't too slippery. The only complaint I had about the place was that it was really hot but I could see the waitresses were also really hot as they fanned themselves walking around. The food were was actually pretty solid for an ayce restaurant. We got the deluxe plan which is the cheaper option for $30.99. The brisket came with some salt and pepper on it and looked like a better cut than I've seen at other places. We also got some kalbi which came without the bone which is so nice because we didn't have to cut it off and have little meat left over. My husband and I also really liked the marinated steak. I typically like non marinated meat better but the steak was tender and the marinade wasn't too sweet. I used the salt to help cut the sweetness and wrapped it in a lettuce with some radish. I really liked all the meats we tried here. They also have really good sides here that you can't get anymore at a lot of kbbq places like the steamed egg or corn cheese plate. All of the food options were so good and I left very stuffed. I would definitely recommend then kbbq ayce restaurant to anyone in the area!
