if you're looking for a cheap, good buffet,. this is the one. service is good. huge place. Question is: will I come back? YES read more

The service was impeccable, the hostess and our waitress was very kind and attentive during our meal. We came for the lunch special! It was very good! Some of the items weren't hot but like lukewarm/cold which happens! It's okay! Everything else definitely made up for that! The inside is BEAUTIFUL!!! They have a HUGE koi fish pond, arcade games and seating in the main entrance! The restaurant layout is very nice, easy to maneuver and it was very very clean! The bathroom was so pretty and was also very very clean! Super happy with it! I uploaded photos of the menu prices, one of my plates and some of the amazing sushi they had out! read more

Passing through with my family on Christmas. Food was ok service was average. Scam of a business. They fraudulently changed the tip on my credit card receipt. Total went from $132 approved to $152 (added $20 to tip) Check your receipts. Untrustworthy business will be reporting as fraud and disputing with credit card. read more

Just an update: THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. I would recommend NOT having anything raw from here. I have never had a worse case of food poisoning. read more

A nice affordable option for casual dining. The place is beautifully decorated, clean and well maintained. While it's not fine dining, the food is fresh and well prepared. A wide selection of Asian entrees, sushi along with a nice selection of meat and seafood that can satisfy non-Asian palates. Service is friendly, efficient and fast. Servers are attentive with refilling drinks and taking away used plates. Surely a good bang for your buck. read more

I went today April 25,2026 and I personally like to use plastic forks or spoon for my toddler of 20 months, since I think it's easier for her. Anyways, so I asked if by any chance they had any and she said she did so I follow her and she gave me a fork and a spoon but not sealed wrapped, along with that there was white spoons in a cup container where she had these utensils. That was a BIG NO for me and so unsanitary. Idk but this place seem dirty to me. The floor were all sticky and chairs as well. read more

Because it's Lent and it's Friday, we looked for a place that had seafood. Empire Buffet had a lot of offerings and lunch was only $17.99! Plus, seniors (65+) get 10% off! So, we gave it a try. We were not disappointed. Right from the start, it was a good experience. The hostess gave us a friendly greeting and sat us immediately. The food was good and our waitress was attentive in clearing our table of used dishes and filling our water glasses. We will definitely come back especially since we want to try their meat dishes. Yummy. lol. read more

We were on the area and got hungry. We were hesitant due to low yelp rating but tried this place anyway, on a sunday. The place is huge and 90% occupied. Food were constantly refilled. Really enjoyed the seafood, mushrooms, fried rice, mongolian, japanese section, dessert. Service were attentive too. Really liked this place! read more

We come here often.. They have crabs, crawfish and my favorite, oysters Also love the sushi and sashimi selection, their soups and other items are always hot when they need to be cold and the items that need to be cold are cold! Everything to me is delicious and I love the variety of fruit and desserts The staff is very friendly and attentive. read more

My friend had ordered trays of food for her party and asked me to pick up. New Chinese buffet by the highway. It's pretty big and huge parking lot as well. I walked in and saw a fountain and waiting area. I was greeted in the next room where everyone is dining. Huge selection of food, rows of seafood and different entrees. Dinner costs $21.99 per person while lunch a little cheaper. Huge dining area on both sides of the buffet stations. The guy was super nice to push the cart of food out to my car. He placed the trays in the back seat and floor and told me the trays were hot. And the food we ordered were delicious. read more

Empire Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Located in the middle of nowhere is a Chinese buffet. They have a large selection of food such as orange chicken, dim sum, etc. Although the flavors were mediocre, the variety makes up for it, right? The service was also mediocre. I came for lunch on a Saturday and it was not busy. Plenty of tables available. Not too noisy because it's not busy. read more

I decided to try this buffet because i was in the area with my boyfriend. The ambiance, when you first walk is in nice. But, what you could expect from a buffet with the typical koi fishes & all. They have a pretty good array of food, you can choose from. They also offer hibachi too. The actually warming of the food, is sometimes hit or miss. But, the food is quite edible & one of the better buffets. I have tried a lot of buffets in the area, and this is one of the best i have tried so far. read more

Huge place good for big group. Lots of food selection. Ice cream is pretty good. Nice koi fish in the front.

Great variety of selection and fresh seafood. It's Christmas Day so lots of people enjoy it.

Brought the grandkids and wife here for dinner! The food was ok nothing special! The four of us ran $85. read more

Service was not good! I would save money and go elsewhere. Food was mid a and price were high.

If i could leave 0 stars i most definitely would. This place is a scam!!! 30$ for dinner is ridiculous and servers didn't check up on us !! Save your money read more

They open everyday at 10:45 and always ready to take in customers. I noticed a lot of Hispanic because Perris is 95 percent Hispanic. They feed their family well, no other restaurant can fill the kids stomach. The owner is so nice, she even give me ice on days that I need ice to quench my thirst and did not want to eat there. Everything is good. I love the blue crabs for the weekend. Very affordable. read more

After 2 years since my last review, my rating still stands. Food is good for the value, service is great as the servers are attentive. I remember years ago when the old owners neglected the restaurant because right away you would smell the bad odor from their fish fountain in the front. They obviously take care of it and the same goes for the rest of the place. Again, not the best buffet ever, but the best buffet in the local area. Good amount of selections, so I recommend it! read more

I don't know what it is about Mexican family's obsession with Asian all-you-can-eat buffets, but we always end up here when family visits from out of town, and they love it! The selection is decent, and you definitely get your money's worth. That said, I can't give it a full 5 stars. Since COVID, buffets don't feel as sanitary as it used to, serving utensils should be swapped out more often or wiped down between uses. Honestly, I don't trust the oysters or any raw sushi here. Also, I really wish they offered alcohol or wine for sale to go with the meal it would make the experience a lot better. But hey, the servers are always friendly, and they make sure your drink is topped off, which is a plus. It's not bad for a quick family gathering, but I wish they'd take cleanliness a bit more seriously. read more

Love the foods they got bunch of options, from seafood to sushi, to meats, desserts, fruits, hot food, dry food, stir fried, and so much more. They even have a hibachi area where the chef cook for you. Staff goes around quite often to check on you and make sure everything is clean, being taken care of and providing excellent services. We came on a Friday night and the place had a good amount of people. 10/10 services 10/10 cleanliness 9/10 food, the seafood could be a little more fresher 9/10 atmosphere 9/10 music 8/10 restroom was quite neat read more

Food selection, service & ambiance was top tier. Had a big dinner with family for my aunts funeral. They accommodated our party of 300 ppl. The Hibachi bar was the best I've had from any buffet. Definitely looking forward to my next visit. Prob the best buffet I've tried that's not in Vegas. read more

My family and I used to go here a lot--great variety, one of the better chinese buffets and fresh sushi--but one day we saw a girl put the communal sushi tongs in her mouth while none of the workers did anything about it...major turn off unfortunately. read more

This buffet offers many options, it has hotpot, with beef, pork, seafood, vegetables. It has sushi and Chinese foods. Many options of seafood to choose from. Foods are delicious. read more

Best food best service so much to choose from good on the price I wish I could go every day. I love the fish pond when you first walk in.

It was our first time here. We've made reservations for 18 people because we wanted an AYCE place after we've attended a graduation. It's a pretty good size restaurant, too. The service AND the food were amazing! The staff were very accommodating and nice! There were a good selection of seafood, meat, soup and veggies! I've tried a good amount of dishes and they were delish! I would definitely come back, only if I'm around the neighborhood because it was a drive from Costa Mesa! I highly recommend this place if ever you're very hungry! read more

My family and I were in the mood for sushi, so we stopped by here. This was my first, and sad to say, my last time here. The sushi was okay until I got to the raw salmon. It had bones still left and I had to spend two minutes carefully chewing the decent sized salmon chunk in mouth to remove the bones. I gave the place another chance by trying out the cooked fish, shrimp, and crawfish. It was all mediocre, no flavor, and obviously frozen. Here is my biggest pet peeve, all the serving stations are steaming hot. But the moment you sit down, the food is cold. I don't understand this, I really hope food is up to a safe temperature at these stations. I'm worried that the food is under temperature and these stations give you the impression that the food is hot. If you want sushi, go to a sushi spot. If you want a hot seafood meal, go grab a nice meal at a restaurant. read more

I can't say that every single dish is great but there's definitely enough to keep me as a regular customer. I enjoy the Mongolian bbq, the sushi and the coconut shrimp. Also the salmon, mussels, crab stuffed scallops are quite good as well as the hot and sour soup. If I still am hungry I'll have some unpeeled shrimp, oysters and crab Rangoon. They also had watermelon and corn on the cob but they took them away. I hope they bring them back. read more

More choice of dishes compared to other buffet restaurants, food was delicious and fresh. The place was nice and clean. If waitresses ware smiles would help the 5th start. read more

I'm rating this buffet compared to other AYCE Chinese buffets that I have eaten in Southern California. This place is pretty good. Nicely decorated and reasonably priced. The place was clean, and the food was tasty. Highly recommend! read more

We went here today for the first time and were impressed! The food is good and it was being constantly refilled. I didn't see anything running low at all. The restaurant itself seemed nice and clean. I took a star off because the outside of the restaurant (parking lot) is absolutely filthy, almost made me not want to go inside. Also, the orange chicken was cold and the desserts weren't good. But we'll be back for sure. read more

Best local buffet hands down. Great food with a relaxed chill vibe. Only compliant is the bathroom situation. Wish they kept it cleaner.

This review is for the price paid, ambiance, food offerings and service. Sadly, I've lost any hopes in buffets, the last ones I visited was in L.A, Vegas and Fuji Buffets both located in Glendale, Ca was a terrible experience so when my cousin invited me for a New Years Day lunch my expectations were already low. To my surprise, the inside was very spacious although, some of the tables were close together. Nonetheless, those in the front made it work to ensure people weren't in each other's way. they offered all day dinner at an affordable price of $21.99. Decided to scope the food out first, although I have a shellfish allergy, I always think about the others in the party! They offered crab, lobster, crawfish, oysters, clams, mussels, really nice-looking sushi rolls, fresh sashimi, decent Chinese hot food; Mongolian beef, fried rice, noodles, orange chicken, honey chicken, beef and broccoli, fried tofu. A kid's area such as; fried chicken, French fries, pizza, chicken nuggets, sesame balls, malasadas (or fried doughnuts) soup station, a good salad area and a DIY Mongolian area. The customer service was very good, attentive workers and although those in the back kept coming back to the lobster station to grab the good pieces, (as I watched) All was fine, I have to give them kudos for the price we paid, the food and service. For the 5 of us without tip was $125, great price for now till it goes up to $35.99 AYCE. Give them a try, but come for dinner, lunch not really worth it!! read more

Drinks not included with pricing. Mon- Fri adult pricing is 21.99 kids 9-11 19.99. Definitely did not see or experience the hype the food is so bland the food was hot but no flavor so that's unfortunate there was leaks all over the restaurant so I have no idea how they have a grade A ratings I saw so much cross contamination. Save your money and stomach and go to update it is currently 3:30 am I'm currently experiencing stomach issues this restaurant is the last food I ate since last night read more

I had never been to this Buffet until this past Saturday. I walked inside with the thought in my head that I was going to find a typical buffet and probably not like it because I just don't do buffets. Well... I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the buffet lines filled with beautiful looking food, huge variety of foods that included asian fare, seafood, a sushi/sashimi bar and a Mongolian BBQ grill. The food was pretty darn good and the sushi/sashimi was excellent- very fresh and delicious. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive staff. Petty clean inside as well. Looking forward to going back soon. read more

Ambiance: My parents and I came in on a Sunday night for dinner. It was pretty packed with small & large groups of people. There's plenty of parking out in the front! The restaurant is located in a somewhat ghost town kind of plaza. We waited about 15-20 minutes. The restaurant is somewhat clean. Food: The selection of food is pretty overwhelming. They have anything from sushi, hibachi, fried foods, salad/soup, pizza, Chinese entrees, to desserts! That being said, my biggest reason for the 3 stars is the quality of food. Don't get me wrong, some of the entrees are great while others lacked flavor, have TOO much flavor, are too chewy, etc. I do love that they are always restocking the food. There never seems to be a time where they are out of something. Hibachi seems to be a fave in the buffet, but just be aware there is a wait! Some faves: buttered potatoes, lychee, sushi, green beans, ice cream The buffet is reasonably priced! read more
