Hey there Party People We just came across East Bay Buffet by accident on Father's Day. Our timing was perfect and we sat right down...amazing for Father's Day. If you want seafood then this is the place for you. They have an amazing selection and a decent Sushi section as well, according to my Husband since I don't like fish. There was plenty of other Asian type dishes that are the standard for any Chinese restaurant. I would say the other food was average. So if you're in the mood for fish definitely check it out. Be kind to one another read more

There is a lot of selection of food. Even a build your own Malatang. And order to make beef ribs. You can also pick any bottled drinks you like. Parking was very hard to find. Even on a weeknight. Service was quick to clean up empty plates and clean tables. Ambiance was clean, cleaner than most buffet places. I would prefer the common ladles to be cleaned and tidied up more frequently. read more

East Bay Buffet is located across the street from Casa Orozco, near the corner of San Ramon Rd and Amador Valley Blvd. They occupy the space left vacant by McNamara's Steak and Seafood. I came here for dinner with a group of friends on Monday 10/20/2025. The place was surprisingly busy when we walked in at around 6:30pm. We were immediately by a gentleman who's either the owner or the manager. He was friendly and courteous, and gave us the lowdown about the dinner service. For weeknights, the price was $39.99 per person. After we paid, he led us to a table near the back. The redesigned interior was charming, and cleanliness was excellent. The dinner buffet consisted of several categories: chilled seafood and appetizers, sushi and sashimi, cooked seafood and Chinese dishes, dim sum, malatang, and dessert. I sampled a good variety of items, and the quality ranged from so‑so to good. On the pro side, I especially enjoyed the steamed abalone, the Cantonese beef stew and offal, and the malatang. They also offered bottled and canned drinks from China, along with milk tea, which was a big plus. On the con side, the sushi and sashimi selection was somewhat limited, and the Chinese dishes were mediocre. Service we received was good. Staff members were polite and helpful. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience here. Will return. read more

This place was highly reviewed as the best buffet in the bay so I had to give it a try. we came here around 6pm on a Tuesday and it was not that packed which was great. The amount for 5 adults came out to $239 which also included the 8% service fee. The buffet is not that big but it did have a decent amount of seafood varieties so if you're looking for crab legs, oysters, crawfish, mussels, etc then you'll definitely like this place. They also offer lobster tails for an additional $4 however that is only for the weekends. They have a Malatang section which was cool. The broth was okay for a buffet service. They also have a short rib station where you can request them to make it fresh. They have beverages such as regular sodas, tea, milk tea, and then a whole fridge of bottled drinks. Everything is included but you can't bring it outside of the buffet. Safe are friendly and constantly checking in or cleaning up. Decent buffet read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Need to pay first at the register before getting seated. SERVICE: The worker who removed our used plates, cups, etc. was very nice. FOOD: My favorite was the hot pot. The pork broth was delicious. At the Hot Pot/Grill station get your plate and put the raw ingredients onto your plate. Then hand your plate to the person stationed at that area who will cook the food for you. There's plenty of food selection at the buffet. Another favorite of mine are the dim sums, porridge and the beef stew. The drink stations are good but wished the coffee had more flavor and it'll be better if the milk tea was less creamy. The fountain is kind of in too far on the countertop. It was kind of hard to dip the chocolate too because there was a bucket of ice water in front of the fountain. The strawberries were not that fresh. I did not get to taste some of the foods because dining time is 90 minutes. Monday-Friday Lunch 11:00am to 3:00pm Adult $26.99/pp Wished the price was not so expensive. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday for the first time. People were already lining outside the door before they opened at 11am. Additional parking in back behind the restaurant. You pay first, then go eat. Various seating areas 1) Lots of variety - sushi and sashimi section, hot chinese food, dim sum and children's favorites, separate seafood variety, custom hot soup where you grab your toppings and select your soup base, dessert section 2) Sometimes the line at the station doesn't move and you're waiting for it to move. This happens during prime time such as at 12 3) A dish does not always get refilled right away during prime time so you need to go back and try again, it's timing and luck 4) Lots of drink variety - bottled drinks, lemonades, bobas 5) Dessert section - small cakes, cookies, fruit - most popular is the chocolate fountain with strawberries or marshallmallow. Strawberries go fast. 6) Soups - 3 types to pick from including jook 7) Ice cream cups: 3 flavors to pick from - vanilla, strawberry and chocolate There's so much variety that there's bound to be something you like. Pace yourself so you can try as much as you can. There is a time limit and if it's busy you might get a warning like we did since we were part of a large party and people were waiting outside. Bon Appetit! read more

Normally our family celebrates special occasions at Tomi in SJ, but this time we decided to try something different and came here for my brother's birthday. It was my first time experiencing an all-you-can-eat buffet in Dublin, and I have to say it left a great impression. We went for Sunday lunch, which was priced at $43.99, and I was pleasantly surprised that they included dinner menu items like steak and lobster (They are cooked fresh while you wait). While the lobster wasn't unlimited, you could add one lobster tail for $6, which I thought was a reasonable option. One of the highlights for me was the hotpot station--it was actually my first time ever seeing hotpot offered at an AYCE buffet, and it made the experience feel more unique and interactive. I also really appreciated the self-serve beverage machine, which made it super convenient to refill drinks whenever we wanted. On top of that, they had a selection of bottled drinks in the fridge, and even milk tea, which was a nice bonus you don't usually see at buffets. As for the food, there was a wide variety to choose from. I especially enjoyed the steak, which was flavorful and cooked well, along with the sushi and seafood options. They also had a good selection of Chinese dishes that complemented everything nicely. Overall, the variety and quality of the food made it feel like a great value for the price. It turned out to be a fun and memorable way to celebrate my brother's birthday. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back again in the future. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We finally have a buffet back i town. Have been here twice, the first time we went on a Thursday evening, it was not busy at all. We had access to all the food. We sampled their sushi, crab legs, their dim sum and the hot seafood section. Sushi offerings included sashimi and rolls. No fishy smells from the raw fish. The snow crabs legs were sweet, even my picky teenager who never eat crab went back for seconds. loved that black bean clams and they had unlimited amount of crab boil and crawfish. The corn in the crab boil was delicious both times I went. Loved that they had unlimited drinks and it is not limited to the soda fountain. The last time we went it was right after graduation and it was busy but the wait staff clearing our table was on the ball. She showed up and cleared our plates without asking. Will be back. read more

Great service, clean, only thing I would recommend is getting there early! read more

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. read more

I came here for the first time after seeing so many positive reviews, and they have a big selection--sushi, salad, seafood, grill, noodles, soups, and desserts. Sadly, the sushi was a letdown--the deep-fried rolls were cold, and overall the food wasn't warm:( I was excited for the self-serve lemonades, but they were really watery. The best part was definitely the grilled noodles--they were delicious! read more

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. read more

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) read more

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) read more

Not the best, not the worst! I would've rated it a 3/5 stars if it wasn't for the diversity of food options. There's a mala hot pot/noodle station, a sushi station, and your traditional Chinese food station. Other reviews say there was a steak section but didn't see that today during my visit. Their drinks section is also super loaded, and they have a number of ice creams and other dessert options. Food is pretty mid. The seafood isn't super fresh and their meats are pretty dry. Everything is fine but nothing is particularly special. Good for if you just want to go to a place that will have something for everyone. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the selection is huge, but the taste just didn't live up to the hype. While the spread looks impressive, many of the dishes were surprisingly too oily or just heavy on MSG. The hot food felt like it had been sitting out too long; the fried items were soggy and some of the meats were pretty tough and dry. Even the seafood, which should be the star, tasted a bit watered down and lacked that fresh hit you'd expect for the price point. The restaurant itself is clean and the service is decent, but when you're paying buffet prices, you expect the food to have more soul. If you're looking for bold flavors, you might be disappointed. read more

The place is busy and just like all other buffets there is a 90 min time limit. The sitting is plenty and the waitstaff to clear your tables are helpful and attentive. The food itself is your typical buffet lot of options from the sushi bar to the ramen bar. There is a small section of dim-sum.. Chinese dishes abode along with plenty of seafood options including crab legs. There is the option of paying for lobster tail at $6 each per person . I did try the steak and the noodle bar which both decent the sushi is meh. If you love Chinese dishes I'm sure filled with msg and you like to walk out of restaurant feeling like you're going to pop then this is the place for you. Sorry I can't do it we won't be back it was a onetime deal a family member wanted to try next time I'll pass. read more

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 read more

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! read more

My family and I went to Brentwood for cherry picking on Memorial Day. Afterward, we decided to dine at East Bay Buffet. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, except for one of our chairs that had food spilled on it, but no one seemed to have noticed or cleaned it. The food was decent, with options like Malatang noodles and beef-style noodles. We had a total of 12 people, and they charged an 8% service fee. Our bill came to $509.48, which was reasonable considering the amount of food we had. read more

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. read more

We walked in on a Sunday at 2pm, and we only had wait 20 mins! There was decent parking around the area as well. The interior is very interesting since it's inside a house, but there is plenty of seating. It was my mom's birthday, so she was able to eat free since there were 3 of us also eating with her. They honor the birthday deal within 2 days before and after the birthday. I was amazed by the many options of food! There was a section of seafood, malatang or noodle soup, dim sum, sushi and sashimi, Chinese food, ice cream, Chinese desserts, and desserts! There was even a homemade milk tea, drink station, coffee, and lemonade section. With the birthday deal, it came out to $35.50 for each of us, which was worth it. There is an automatic 8% gratuity or service fee included in the bill as well. Service was great as well, and the bussers were very on top of it. Although the price is steep, the lunch deal is also a good time to go in. read more

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.

I expect to return again in the future. read more

I invited family to enjoy the food and ambiance of East Bay Buffet and to celebrate a birthday. I have really enjoyed dining here. As we were waiting for our party, I watched the host wrap forks in paper napkins. I looked away for a moment then realized that he sat patron that arrived. He then continued to wrap the forks in paper napkins. His fingers definitely touched the fork tines. When I suggested that he should probably wash his hands before continuing the task, his response was, "I didn't touch anything." I repeated the suggestion to the manager who now joined us at the counter, and he reiterated, "When he seats people, he doesn't touch anything." I reminded him that the forks would definitely touch our mouths and this was a simple hygiene or sanitation practice. The manager then informed me that plastic forks were available. It wasn't until I suggested that the host wash his hands 3X, did the manager finally direct him to wash his hands. There was almost a third of a big plastic tub in wrapped forks by this time. I'm wondering when the host washed his hands last. Am I expecting too much that the servers in a buffet practice basic hygiene? When our party arrived, we left. read more

We came here for Thanksgiving and the place was crowded & loud. Because it's a holiday, the price was dinner's price all day, which was $39.99 per person. On top of that, there was an 8% service charge per person (basically, it's a tip before you start eating). You pay before you can enter the restaurant.....then tax. It came to about $50 a person. Seating & wait time: We were seated right away. We did not really engage with the staff members. Price: I think it's kinda over priced. Since we paid dinner price, it did not include one lobster per person as indicated by some yelpers Food: The seafood is what I enjoyed most. The shrimp cocktail is specially fresh. The seasoned clams, snails, sashimi, sushi, abalone, and crabs are pretty good. I skipped the dimsum area because the people i went with said it's not your typical dimsum flavors. The hot and sour soup lacks authenticity. The seafood soup was showered with way too much white pepper....it was spicy. I did, however, enjoyed the ginseng soup. I didn't get to try the clam chowder. The steak is so thin, there's no room for medium rare. The beef tripe, pigs feet, and oxtail are fatty but has the wow factor. I wanted to also mention that the sashimi cuts are kids size (mini). They could really cut it more generously. There are a lot of good places to eat in Dublin, that toying with our plates might cost you to lose customers to other businesses because of this simple mistake. It's just a word of advice to keep your business going. The drinks selection are endless. They have all different kinds of tea in bottles, Milk teas, Coffee, Soda, Red bean with tapioca, Taro with tapioca, some jelly drinks, and ice cream. Great selection. I also enjoyed the dessert area. I loved the Tiramisu, Japanese cheesecake, and the chocolate fountain, but really not a whole lot of items, but enough. The Malatang is made to order - it's very flavorful ------you have to try it. Atmosphere: It was actually bigger than I was expecting. There's also some areas inside that I can picture can be use to hold a party. We enjoyed our lunch, but probably would not recommend it to friends coming here to pay dinner price. read more

I love a good buffet, and Easy Bay certainly qualifies. This is not your typical dingy, low-budget buffet; it's clean, well lit, and very modern. In the end, of course, it's all about the food -- and East Bay delivers. The sushi was really solid; in fact, I probably could've just eaten sushi. But, I decided to diversify. Other highlights included the salt and pepper prawns, as well as the cooked-to-order malatang. The drink options here are crazy, as well, with all sorts of canned and bottled beverages, juices, and milk tea. In terms of price, I consider $28 reasonable. Although it isn't cheap, I've definitely paid more for less. Hopefully I can get back here for dinner, especially to try the crab legs! read more

I was genuinely looking forward to having a good buffet restaurant nearby, but unfortunately this newly opened one was very disappointing. The food pickup area is extremely small, with very limited selection, and the food quality and taste were poor. The staff serving the food were not professional--especially the person cutting the sashimi, who clearly didn't seem to be a trained sushi chef. The sashimi slices were tiny and inconsistent every time they were served. With a 90-minute all-you-can-eat limit, after going out to get food just twice, we already didn't want to go back because there were so few choices and the food tasted bad. In the end, we wasted both the time and money of 16 people. read more

East Bay Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Dublin, California

It's the week before Christmas and I'm done with work till the new year! The weather is good for travel cause the next week will be bad weather thru Christmas, so I'm headed back home to Red Bluff up the 680 and I heard there was this new Chinese buffet that opened right near where a friend lives in here in Dublin. East Bay Buffet, not the most imaginative name, but it's better than some name like Happy Garden Buffet or some other generic Asian restaurant name. My friend lives in the condos just behind the buffet. He just walked over to meet me here. It wasn't super crowded for lunch but plenty of people though. Easy enough parking. Prices are kinda high from the Chinese buffets I'm used to for lunch ... it's $30, good thing I'm still on an expense account! Then there's a 8% "service fee" added, I guess there's the tip! Then there's a 90 minute time limit. Lotta rules, but we go in anyways. The interior is all bright and new looking and seems fairly clean so it doesn't look like a food fight happened like I've seen some buffets. Food was all hot and looked like it was supposed to. Thee were quite a few "authentic" Chinese dishes as well as the usual American faves, like sweet and sour chicken and pork as well as egg rolls and noodles. There was quite a bit of different seafoods out, like oysters and mussels. No crab at lunch though. I did really like the chicken wings. The service was the usual Chinese buffet efficiency, cleared the plates but not there really to make conversation. Paying the bill, each person with tax and the included tip was close to $50! Though the food was good, I'm not sure this buffet is worth $50 for lunch! So, if you know the prices ahead and still wanna go, have at it. Oh, if you're over 65 you get the senior discount of 10%! read more

There is plenty of free parking at this restaurant. It is clean and the employees are friendly. There is certainly a good variety of food and drinks available, but the food is of a lower quality. Customers prepay their meals and service fees upfront. read more

after my first visit, I have been back a few times and i feel like they have improved the sushi area and other hot items. The dim sum, in my opinion got better as well. i really like their lava salted egg yolk bun. the buns are soft and the filling oozes out. the milk tea station was a good upgrade. they used to have the pre-measured milk tea in the fridge where you just grab and go. Now there's a milk tea fountain where you just get as many milk tea as you want without wasting the plastic cups. i also feel like they offer more drinks now. the dessert station is still the same, you'll see fruits and some cookies that are store brought. we aren't fans of the dessert station but the kids really enjoy the ice cream cups. my son also wish that the grapes were seedless. one thing i was disappointed was the pig ear cold dish. first couple times, i found the sauce so good and had that good mala kick. but this recent visit on monday Nov 10th. i found the sauce to be watered down; not as flavorful. read more

Everything was great about this place. The foods were all good. Everything was all freshly made and kept coming out. The seafood was very good. I do think the steak and lobster are not worth paying extra for. Service was good and cleared the table up quickly. The place was nice and clean. Overall a good experience. read more

This is the BEST Chinese AYCE buffet I've ever been to in the Bay Area. With a wide selection of seafood, ranging from oysters, crab legs, seafood boil, sashimi like salmon, tuna, red clams, and on top of that, you can get a $4 add ons for your lobsters, but it's only limited to 1 per person. They also have dim sum dishes like chicken feet, bao huns, sticky rice in lotus leaves and main entree like braised pork knuckles, walnut shrimps, garlic green beans. They offer bottled drinks like green tea, jasmine tea, herbal tea, or you can get boba from the tap! Amazing deal amazing buffet i love it so much! I come here probably twice a month. read more

Love it love it!!! I just made it once a month gathering with my sis. They also charge 8% service fee upfront, that's ok when the food is delicious. You can leave additional tips if you wish but I haven't seen anyone left any on the table . read more
