    Sushi
    May W.

    On Sundays, all-day price is pretty steep at $40 (10% discount for seniors). Food is good, with lots of variety, but I'd recommend going for weekday lunch when it's less expensive. For Sunday, they did have raw oysters, a fresh-made steak station, steamed fish, salmon, sushi, and lots of hot food. They also have a variety of drinks (bottled drinks, soda, tea, etc) available with the price. I thought dessert was a bit lacking, with lack of fresh fruits and more pre-made desserts, but they do have a chocolate fondue fountain. Note the price also comes with an automatic 8% service charge.

    Seven months since our first visit, we decided to give East Bay Buffet another try. We had read in many reviews that some adjustments had been made to improve the traffic flow and guest experience. We were greeted at the register. I told the cashier that we were both seniors. They have a generous 25% discount for seniors over age 65 on Tuesday evening. Her co-worker asked to see IDs which we gladly provided. Once we paid, we were taken to a table. We put down our jackets and headed for the food. At buffets, I always like to walk the entire food line before I even take a plate. Where I really noticed a difference was two electric steam tables placed against a wall where there were eight dishes to choose from. In general, the food lines were clean. Employees kept going by and stirring up the food, so everything looked fresh. The hot dishes were hot, and the cold seafood was chilled on ice. We didn't try the Malatangs. Some of the dishes that I tried were very good. Some were not as good. We found that some of the shrimp dishes were overcooked. It seemed that the dishes that were supposed to have some heat to them were flavored with jalapeno peppers, in other words, very one note. We did not try any of the sushi. We are sushi snobs and prefer sashimi over all the fancy rolls that people like to order. What I look for in an Asian Buffet is good, hot food. If I can get won ton, hot & sour soup, deep fried chicken wings and deep fried fish, I'm usually a happy camper. East Bay Buffet offered numerous shrimp dishes which made so much happier. Staff was efficient in checking on our satisfaction and removing empty dishes. We ate our fill and left before our 90 minutes of dining time ran out. On the way home, I started to get the gurgles. While I did not feel sick, I was on the porcelain throne more than I was off for the next four hours. The four dishes that I tried that she didn't have were the raw oysters, peel 'n eat shrimp, cold crab and wakame salad. Doing a little research, I believe that the culprit was the raw oysters that I consumed. Symptoms usually show up within four hours of consumption. I also found a FDA warning, dated April 22nd against consuming raw oysters harvested between March 22 and April 9 from Gomez Shellfish in Washington State. I don't know where East Bay Buffet gets their oysters from and I won't blame them for my symptoms, however, if I ever return, you can bet I will not be eating any raw oysters here. Had it not been for the negative experience, I would have given another rating of three stars.

    Fairly enjoyed this restaurant. We had a chance to finally check out East Bay Buffet in Dublin this past weekend. It's a solid spot if you're looking for a bit of everything. The selection is huge everything (sashimi, seafood, sushi to hot pot and Mongolian Wok, and classic Chinese dishes and dim sum). The place is clean and feels pretty modern, and the staff did a great job. Almost forgot, I loved the all you can drink drinks (bottles, red bean, taro, boba, etc)

    Malatang Soup; I put a few of their seafood options and upon noodles that are available in the food bar.
    Donna Mae T.

    I love their Malatang soup!! Food choices are decent and you for sure can get your money's worth. Depending on the day it can get pretty busy.

    Date: 3/14/2026 Time: 5:00 PM 69° Sunny Usually I am not an AYCE buffet fan. However, East Bay Buffet was a surprise. One of my sisters chose this restaurant for family dinner in celebration of Chinese New Year, which has passed about a week ago. The selection of the appetizers, sushi and entrees were fresh and quite delicious. The salmon was on the dry side. I should have grabbed some lemon wedges for a little zing and moisture to enhance the flavor of the salmon. My male companion enjoyed the hot 'n sour soup and clam chowder. I decided to have the seafood soup, which was a mistake. It was loaded with MSG. I should have chosen the hot 'n sour soup or the clam chowder soup. My second plate was siu mai, potstickers, shrimp with cocktail sauce, mango pudding and orange jello. Beverages were raspberry tea and mango lemonade. I was too full to get some tiramisu and ice cream. Service was fine. The employees worked quickly to gather the plates once we were through eating. Return visit? I enjoyed the food, but the drawback is traveling from Alameda to Dublin for an AYCE buffet. Might then might not.

    I've been to East Bay Buffet twice now, both times for Saturday lunch, which is $29.99 per person. Definitely feels like a better deal compared to their weekend dinner price at $43.99. The only real reason I'd go for dinner is if you want steak or lobster, but those cost extra on top of the dinner price anyway. What I like about this place is that it's clean and they're really good about keeping the food stocked. Nothing felt like it was sitting out too long. I've tried the malatang, sushi, and dim sum, and everything was solid. The dim sum especially surprised me since most buffets don't do it well, but this one actually does a decent job. The only thing I wasn't really into was the seafood boil. It just didn't stand out to me. I also wish they had salt and pepper crab like Fusion Buffet in Concord. Overall, I like coming here because I can try a little bit of everything, and for the price, it's pretty worth it. I'll definitely be back.

    Mala soup... don't be fooled NOT that spicy. Very yummy
    Cynthia S.

    Finally had a chance to try this place. The place is pretty big for a buffet. So I'm not surprised by the price. There are some sushi area, regular chinese food area, dimsum area, fried food area , hot pot area, seafood area, dessert area and drinks and ice cream area. I was a little overwhelmed by the options , there are really no good way to figure out the flow of the stations. So sometimes I feel like I'm going against the flow. So I'm not sure if I did it right. Anyways, Surprisingly enjoyed the dimsum options. I tried the buns (bbq and custard), sticky rice, spare rib, shumai. I would eat them again except for the spareribs. They are chewy and had lots of bone fragments. Not my favorite. The mushroom dish in the Chinese station was lovely and the bbq pork is decent. Not a big fan of the sushi station, they're ok but I honestly wouldn't go back for them. The porridge with pork and egg was lovely. I can eat a whole giant bowl of it. Especially if they put more toppings options. The only option I saw was green onion. If they have Chinese donuts, peanuts, etc that would be awesome. Now I was debating on whether I wanted to try their hot pot. Because at this point I was getting full. But I wanted to see how spicy their Mala soup is. I grab some small amount of filling and asked them to just give me a small amount of soup. I don't want to waste it in case it's too spicy. But it really wasn't. Even though it was marked 3 , I would say it was more like 1. Tastes lovely but if you're worried about it being too spicy, I would not. I would get it again for sure. My kids tried them too and they said it was also not that spicy. They can eat this level as well. Anyways, the most impressive station was the drink station. The option was more than I've ever seen in any buffet. If I wasn't too full I would have tried more of them. I didn't get any dessert as I was too full, but I tried a spoon for the cheesecake from my kid's plate, it was ok. Reminds me of ranch 99 cake for some reason. My kid likes the fruit options. Service was great. Absolutely no complain. You pay for the 8% service fee up front. Overall, I thought for the lunch price it was reasonable. For 3 people we paid almost $100. Food 3.5/5 Service 4/5 (very nice workers)

    I haven't been to a buffet buffet in years, even before Covid. It was nice seeing hot food out in the open again like the good old days. This buffet had a huge variety of different cuisines from sushi, chinese food, crab legs, build your own mala bowl, dim sum, and even cooked to order steaks! Not going to lie, but I was a little hesitant at the thought of eating at a buffet again, but everything was very fresh and the food area was clean. The staff rotated the dishes out frequently and each item was kept nice and hot. Lunch (11am-3pm) Monday-Friday $26.99 Saturdays $29.99 Dinner (4pm-9:30pm) $39.99 * Drinks are included for all meals * There is an 8% service charge for all guests and 10% for parties of 20+ * Senior Citizens get 10% off w/ ID * Free meal on your birthday w/ ID for a group of 4+ * Dining time is 90 minutes

    $4 lobsters each
    Susan L.

    My sister and I dined for dinner. We opted for the lobster at $4 each. The cashier will give you a ticket to redeem the lobster. You pick up the lobster next to the Mongolian station. The lobster was a decent size for the price. It was just OK for us. It was served lukewarm. I wish they had butter to dip it in versus their own sauce. The buffet stations were smaller than I expected. There were plenty of seafood available. The dim sum were good. The Asian food were a hit or miss. They were either too salty or no flavor. The Mongolian station had a nice variety of meats and vegetables. I was very disappointed in their desserts. They were boxed cookies, Jell-O, and fruits. However, they do have a chocolate dipping fountain for strawberries and marshmallows. The ice cream is located near the drink section. On a positive note, drinks are included. They have a Pepsi fountain, bottled water, bottled teas and sparkling water. There's plenty of parking. Service is good.

    I came here on a Friday with my mom and a few of her friends. You pay better you get seated. Everything is included, even packaged drinks in the fridge. There is a lot of variety - sushi, a lot of Chinese food, dim sum, made to order noodle soup and I think stir fry, desserts. The taste in general was ok. I feel like it could be better even for a buffet. The servers were attentive in clearing out empty plates off our table, so that was nice. There were quite a few people there for lunch on a Friday. Overall, it's a decent buffet. With a try if you are looking for variety.

    Rules at the chocolate fountain
    Tim L.

    This was my first time here. The price is value for the food being offered. The staff was very courteous too and the food areas were under constant observation for cleaning and refilling. It was a comfortable place to dine and the atmosphere was relaxing on a weekday. The entire group had low expectations given the buffets in the Bay area, but this was pleasantly surprising. I expect to return again in the future.

    Came on a Saturday at 11:30 am to celebrate a birthday and was seated immediately even with a big party! Their birthday discount is 2 days before and after the actual date which is great! The inside is very nice and clean compared to other buffets. This buffet is very unique, featuring a malatang bar, free drinks, seafood boil, and free desserts, which are all faves for many people these days! The chocolate fountain is also a nice and fun addition! It was a plus that all the desserts and drinks were individually packaged so you don't have to worry about sanitary issues. Besides the stand-outs, the variety of food is like a typical buffet, which is great because there's something for everybody! There is parking in the front and in the back. It can fill up quickly but there shouldn't be an issue finding parking. Staff was very attentive and fast on removing plates from our table to make space and keep it clean. Overall, service and food was good, I will definitely be visiting again!

    Always  busy grill

    We had a really good time here overall. The seated seafood selection is the star of the show - fresh oysters, white crab, and a wide variety of sashimi that definitely felt a step above a typical buffet. For an extra $4, you can add a lobster tail, which is a nice bonus. Ours was a bit overcooked, but still enjoyable. Sushi was fine, though a little rice-heavy. One thing I genuinely loved was the mala tang station. You pick your own ingredients and they cook it right in front of you - fresh, interactive, and a fun change from the usual buffet setup. By the way, you can also get yourself a fresh steak cooked, same station with the lobster tail. The space itself is big and nicely done, with multiple dining halls and even a large TV in one area, which is great if you're trying to catch a game while eating. Everything felt clean, including the plastic cups, although the strong chlorine smell made them impossible to drink from. A couple of things hold it back from being a higher-end experience. Kids running around the buffet and food stations while parents are eating or watching TV really needs better control. And at just over $50 per person with the lobster, the price sets expectations for a more polished, restaurant-level experience. Service was pretty good, especially if you're tipping a bit in advance. The guys are truly on the run to make you experience pleasant, so please don't forget about them. All that said, the seafood selection, meats, deserts (including chocolate fondue), layout, and unique mala tang option make this a solid spot that's worth checking out.

    How many free birthday meal can we have if we have group of 6 since I have two ppl has the same birthday?

    Unless they changed their rules, it'll be only 1 free birthday meal with your current setup. As a previous poster mentioned the birthday meal is when you have 4 paying adults in the group. So unless you can get 4 more adults in another group to… Read more

    Do they have free meal for your birthday?

    Yes, but as a previous poster mentioned you'll also need 4 adult paying customers in the group unless they changed their rules.

    Is the free birthday meal only valid for the day of? Or is it valid for a couple days before/after?

    We've gone a couple days before/after and they've honored the free birthday meal. You have to have a group of at least 4 adults though.

    What kind of cooking oil is used for fried items? If "vegetable" oil does it have soy in the oil?

    Do we need a reservation for dinner on a Wednesday night?

    If you were going as a large party like 4+ then I would consider calling to getting a reservation as a precaution imo, but maybe more towards the weekend I would definitely call to make sure.

    Menu show two diff prices for sat lunch. What is the correct price?

    We have different price for Saturday, $29.99 for lunch, $43.99 for dinner.

    Does it serve any Wild CAUGHT FISH?

    Thank you for your question. At this time, we do not serve wild caught fish. Our seafood selection features high-quality, responsibly sourced options chosen for freshness and consistency.

    What is the cost for lunch?

    26.99 plus tax and they charge an 8% service charge

    Is this one pet Friendly (outdoor dining)?

    No, outdoor eating at this one. The only buffet that has some outdoor eating would be fusion buffet in concord, but I would suggest calling to see if they'll let pets sit in that area.

    Do they offer sashimi for lunch? Update: I JUST CHECKED and they don't serve sashimi for WEEKDAY…

    Yes.

    Is there vegetarian or vegan options besides the dessert?

    Yes there are veg only dishes. The malatang section also has veg based broth.

    Are there differences in the food available during lunch buffet versus dinner buffet?

    Yes. According to the host, the lunch buffet does not include wagyu steaks and they don't have the crab legs, oysters and shellfish which they have at dinner.

    Do they offer a senior discount?

    Yes. 10% off.

    Got really lucky I made same-day reservations by calling in for a party of 7 on a Saturday night…read more It was really busy when we got here at 6pm. We tried to order the sea bass from the specials menu and they were sold out already! We ended up with - bone marrow appetizer - good - corn bread appetizer - the Calabrian butter was an interesting pairing to the corn bread. - bowl of clam chowder - biggest let down. flavors wasn't right, didn't like the carrots!! Would not order again - rib eye - we ordered 1 medium well and 1 medium rare. And when the food runners came out, they gave us medium rare and medium. Easy fix, they had put back on the grill and server apologized. Steak turned out good - pork chop - polenta was really good and creamy, pork chop was decent - burger - juicy and fries were good too - rotisserie chicken - this was on the drier side, would not order again - king salmon - salmon cooked right and tasted good with the rice and vegetables - pizza - the pizza held it self together. The crust was nice and crispy - tiramisu - this was rich in espresso and liquor flavor, very delicious! - hot chocolate - pretty decent hot chocolate made in house Overall, our family had a nice time and would come back.

    Came for an early Mother's Day celebration on a busy Saturday and had an incredible experience! The…read moreSouth American and Caribbean flavors were so rich, bold, and vibrant in every dish. I loved the jerk pork tacos! The pork was juicy, tender, and aromatic, and the mango-papaya salsa added a refreshing sweetness. I also tried the paella Oyo that my sister ordered which was sooo yummy and full of protein. The small size was more than enough! My mom ordered the oxtail stew which wasn't on their brunch/lunch menu (dinner only), but I really appreciate that they were accommodating to make that dish for her. I've never had oxtail and it was delicious--tender, perfectly sweet and savory, and paired well with the plantains. The other dishes that my family ordered were hits too (jerk pork shoulder and seafood paella). We also tried the ripe plantains pancake Oscar for a sweet treat. I love anything marshmallow, so the brûléed marshmallow cream that blanketed the pancakes was heavenly. It also came with a plantain on top and a few other fruits to balance out the sweetness. Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot. Can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu items and drinks, and hopefully catch some live music!

    Ceviche and paella were tasty!…read more Service was pretty fast, too. Love the decor inside they have a bar with fun drinks

    Still the best Hot Pot place in town!…read more Love the service and lots of selections of ingredients and food choices. Ambiance is nice and clean. WIll come again.

    I was looking for a restaurant for our group of 8, and I thought hot pot will make things simple as…read moreeveryone can customize their own pot and I don't have to worry about what dishes to order. After reviewing a few hot pot places on Yelp, I chose Shabu King based on the positive reviews. I called to make a reservation. On the day of our visit, I was glad to find our table was ready at the appointed time. One of the staff explained that each person first pick a broth type, then you can request side dishes or type of meat(different cuts of beef, pork and there is also lamb). For vegetables and seafood, they have a bar area for each and you can pick from the generous selections of fresh seafood and vegetables. I was really impressed with the variety. For seafood, they have whole small octopus, sliced calamari, fish fillets, clams, mussels, whole large prawns, as well as small crab. They also have a condiment bar for you to make you own dipping sauce. Each person get their own pot, and we enjoyed many helpings throughout the evening. Sometimes it may be difficult to flag down a server, but when you do they are friendly and eager to take your order. I think their operation can be improved by having customers scan a bar code and order online as I have experienced in other AYCE places. Everyone in our party enjoyed their own customized hot pot, and we walked away with a very full belly. Will be back again when I have the craving for AYCE hot pot!
