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

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

I haven't been to a buffet in a really long time, so it was exciting because I've heard good things about Easy Bay Buffet. My party of 5 had to wait ~50 min on a Saturday afternoon (12:30pm). The wait did feel long but they have a lounge area at the front of the restaurant for you to comfortably sit in the meantime. Smaller parties seemed easier to get in sooner. The food was decent, and I'd say worth it for the price ($30 per person on Sat lunch). A lot of Chinese food, but they also offer seafood and sushi. Drinks were also included! They offer bottled teas, juices, sodas, and more. Overall, it was a great experience but I definitely ate too much... 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

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

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

East Bay Buffet - Malatang Soup; I put a few of their seafood options and upon noodles that are available in the food bar. - Buffets Near Me - Dublin, California

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

East Bay Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Dublin, California

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

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

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

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. 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

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

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 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

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

SATURDAY NIGHT LOBSTER The last time I ate lobster at a buffet was during Friday of Labor Day weekend in 2019 inside Jackson Rancheria Casino. The lobster was awful because the lobster was cold. The prime rib tasted pasty. The steak grilled over an open flame had a funky smell. My friend wanted to cook to eat here for a while. I decided as a birthday gift to pay for his meal at East Bay Buffet. We came here on a Saturday night. On the weekends there is a $4 charge per lobster tail. My friend didn't want lobster, but I wanted to get lobster tail for myself. A lot of Asian buffets tend to be the same however East Bay Buffet is quite different than most. One feature is the dim sum selections. I've seen chicken feet at dim sum section in buffets but not beef tripe. With no hesitation I got beef tripe. After taking a bite of the beef tripe I was impressed as there was no gamey taste. The flavor reminded me of Filipino dish pinapaitan but without the bitterness. Another different feature is the refrigerated cold beverage dispenser had homemade milk tea. I thought drink was horchata. I had to get the milk tea. It was a soothing drink, which balances the oily dishes from the buffet. Another item at East Bay Buffet that stood out was Chinese broccoli. One item I liked about the Chinese broccoli at this buffet was the mustard taste. I came here for the lobster. Was paying $4 extra for one lobster worth the charge? Yes it was. The lobster tail wasn't rubbery. Also it wasn't watery. The lobster tail was sweet yet you can taste the butter. The lobster tail at East Bay Buffet taste better than at most restaurants and also cheaper. If you pay $12 for 3 lobster tails at East Bay Buffet that's worth the price. Due to the unexpected items like beef tripe and homemade milk tea I enjoyed my dinner at East Bay Buffet. I don't drive to Dublin often for food. I can see myself coming back to East Bay Buffet again for lobster night. 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

Came back again last night to celebrate my dad's birthday and I've got to say, it's only gotten better! My issue with the dim sum and the fried shrimp has definitely been rectified with some serious tweaks and quality control. The sushi is also better, the rice tastes a lot more fresh. The Malatang bar is still stellar, and the vast selection of drinks plus soda bar, coffee, boba, and tea bar is a MASSIVE plus compared to most buffets that only offer soda. 9/10 experience last time, 10/10 experience this time! 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

New buffet in dublin/pleasanton. We came by for weekday lunch and it was not very busy. Lots of variety including sushi bar, typically Chinese buffet options, some dim sum options including braised chicken feet. The unique feature is the option to make your own bowl of noodle soup. You select all the toppings and hand it to the staff who cook the items. You can choose a variety of broths- the two highlights are the bone broth and the Malaa tang which is spicy! Another unique feature is that drinks are included which includes fountain drinks, milk tea, as well as a variety of canned and bottle drinks! There are also some Asian desserts such as red bean sago and taro sago which I thought was just ok. Overall large clean, good selection, with drinks included. Dinner is bit more but I think the offerings are better. read more

Went here around 2:20 pm with my girlfriend on a Thursday. Not busy at all. There is parking all around the building and for it is around a plaza. We walked in and you pay up front for how many guests are going to be doing the buffet. It is fairly priced, we paid $26.99 for each of us for the lunch buffet. The selection is fairly huge. I can't really name all of it but all of the food I took pictures of on the plates were pretty good, some were okay, this is a decent place to get your hunger satisfied all around. They have a lot of options available along with unlimited drinks & dessert. The malatang and grill option is awesome, along with the sushi bar. They also have a chocolate fountain which I should've pictured but I always left my phone at the table. Overall the place is pretty big and is destined for bigger parties as well which there a lot of seating for those type of parties and events etc. I recommend if you're looking for a decently sized and good tasting buffet! read more

First time here. Quite a lot of seating inside. Big parking lot. Lots of varieties for food. There's a malatang, sushi and sashimi, dim sum, seafood, hot food, fruit, dessert and a chocolate fountain. Bottle beverage, soda and dessert for dine in. Everything included in the ayce. Varieties wise is fantastic. The dim sum buns are yum. I came at late afternoon after 2pm. Flavor wise is ok. Service is ok as it wasn't busy at that time. read more

The food was average, there was a lot of selection. It had a lot of Chinese food. Some of the seafood was still frozen. The Malatang Bar had lot of selection. The Sushi was average. The best one was Salmon Sashimi. There was a lot of beverages to choose from They have Pepsi Cola for fountain sodas. The service was ok. By the way I am doing a review for the regular lunch on a Monday. The place is clean and huge. It is comparable to Daly Buffet in Daly City. If you are in the east bay its a great deal. read more

I was so excited to try out East Bay Buffet for the first time, located in Dublin, CA, but after my experience, it left me a bit disappointed and left a huge dent in my wallet. I was traveling in the Bay Area and couldn't decide which buffet to go to. My first choice was at Fusion Buffet located in Concord, CA; once again, Yelp kind of failed me. The good 4/5 -Friendly female cashier, attentive busboy. -Good tasty crab legs; the crab meat doesn't fall apart when you break them in half. -SF boil the yellow corn, which was sweet and tasted fresh & had a crispy snap when you were biting into it. -Great drink selections from Pepsi fountain drinks and bottled water and other Asian drinks and teas. -$4.00 lobster tail add-on was worth it; it tasted good and a bit sweet and had a good texture. The Bad 3/5 -The kalbi doesn't have the traditional Korean umami that I was craving. -Can be a bit crowded; maybe it's due to the weekends. -BBQ pork buns tasted old, not fresh. Most of their Asian bottled/canned drinks are loaded with sugar. -Some of their dining area and buffet area is really narrow, like you're crammed up in a sardine can. The Ugly 1/5 -I think some of their dishes they put too much MSG in had me falling asleep real fast; it's not due to a food coma. -For a weekend all-day price with a $4.00 lobster tail upcharge, it came to be $53 and some change. This is including drinks and a service charge added to your bill. I'm sure there are cheaper buffets in the Bay Area. -I was very disappointed in their limited sushi selections; I figured there would be a lot more. Overall East Bay Buffet is not too bad an option if you're visiting the Bay Area for an AYCE. If I were running the place, I would get rid of some of the sugary drinks and add more sushi varieties. Thank you, East Bay Buffet. Looking forward to trying your weekday lunch buffet if I'm in the area again. read more

-1 star cause they charge extra for lobster now! But overall this is a very solid buffet spot. Whenever I'm craving oysters I tell my boyfriend to take me here and it always hits the spot! The seafood selection is great, the build your own malatang is genius and the drink selections are amazing! The food here is overall pretty good and I love that there's always parking! read more

My wife and I were so excited to try this buffet so we came at the start of lunch time today! From the outside, it looks like an old house-like structure that resembled an old Black Angus or even an Indian restaurant with maybe a ball-room inside.. either way it didn't look modern. As you come in, everything looks up to par with modern and simple dining tables & chairs; nothing was overly fancy. You pay first before being seated which was about $43 pp for Sunday lunch. We sat close to the restrooms which was convenient BUT there was a hallway/room next door to our area which had strong fumes from cleaning products like floor cleaning solution. It was strong and was unpleasant. The food buffet bars were super clean and well maintained. Employees are constantly cleaning around and making sure there is no mess around. The food option is really just regular to us. They didn't have too many things which was slightly disappointing. They had your typical dim sum options but they didn't have Siu Mai which is the main dish. They had a raw and seafood bar but nothing stood out other than maybe their sea snails. They didn't have duck, calamari, etc. I should also mention that the food lacked seasoning; it was too bland and needed salt. Everything here, you can find at your most basic Chinese buffet. I will say, I did like the "premium" steak bar which is a hot grill and you request to have some flat thin steak grilled up. These aren't big cuts by any means, more like flap steaks at like 4-6 ounces. My medium rare steak came out juicy and delicious. Next time, I'll just have this with fried rice. I will say, their drinks options at the station is pretty cool. Aside, from the soda machine, there is a fridge with different teas, water bottles, milk tea station, etc. there is even a freezer with lots of ice cream (strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla). Their fondue station is awesome with a chocolate fountain and some strawberries and marshmallows on the side. This is maybe the best part. Overall, this buffet is just ok. It's not mind blowing. Not sure if I'll be coming back?! It's a decent choice for those wanting an Asian buffet here in the area since there's not much. If you're looking for an Asian buffet with an incredible arrangement of food, head to Tomi Buffet in San Jose! It's legendary and known for its prestige buffet. read more
