    BOTTOM-Beef n broccoli. TOP-Green beans.

    Another buffet review. 3rd one we've gone to in a week's time. Second time at a Flaming Buffet, 1st time at this Chino location. The picture of short ribs is very misleading bc there were NO short ribs at the Whittier location nor this one!! I'm glad I know now for sure that Flaming Buffets don't serve short ribs. [I'm trying to see if there is another buffet that can match Asia Buffet in Lake Forest] However, if you love seafood then this place is definitely for you! My sweetheart and I had early dinner here. The hubby sure knows how to make my heart happy by spoiling me w food :) Thank you bebi ko!! I did enjoy the hibachi steak grill. Got 3 thin steaks w jalapeños and all sauces. It was very flavorful. Hubby says the sushi is good as well as the mussels. They had ice cream in a cup which was good too! I enjoyed the food here, despite there being a prodigious amount of seafood and the fact that there were no short ribs. Service here stands out bc our server was charming and smiling everytime she refilled our drinks and collected dirty plates. I would've given 4 stars since they don't serve what I was mainly looking for (the food was very good, overall), but then the server's pleasant smile was very uplifting and that's enough to add 1 more star, rating this place 5 stars.

    Very affordable and decent buffet when you're in a pinch, don't want to cook, and are hungry. Even on weekdays, they serve sashimi, grilled meats and noodle to your liking, and variety of food items. I love their cocktail shrimp and their crab legs. Sashimi are fresh, sushi is decent, and seafood is not bad. Wait staff are friendly and they help clear your table after every plate you clear. They'll also check in on your party once a in a while to get refill for beverages. The ambiance is casual, they can easily accommodate larger party as well.

    I love the service here and honestly this location is underrated and super legit! We go to this buffet whenever we have all the cravings! It's always packed here too. I always bring my own Tabasco sauce though. They have cold crab legs. Don't expect too much it's basic for buffet but I like it here.

    Had dinner with my sweetheart. Not crowded, quiet and relaxing. Warm welcome and super good service. Learned a couple of chinese words from our server. Ni hao ma, xeixei for how are you and thank you. Food was good. Went for my crabs and shrimps as usual. Mushrooms was so delicious. Had fresh pineapples and papayas after and finish with cookies and cakes. Nice enjoyable dining experience.

    AYCE favorite seafood Buffett! Great price and love the teppan mangolian food option included in the price. I loved all the different shrimp options. Garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, deep fried shrimp. Shrimp with cocktail sauce and crab legs. Lots of side and all Chinese dishes are basically available. My favorite garlic and onion friend shrimps! Dinner For 2 $45 can't beat it!

    This buffet is located in the Chino Promenade. It was a treat from cousin from Chino and I was so delighted to see fried crabs. Very busy on a Friday night but got seated at table for 6. We were famished and so we head straight to the buffet line. Got a plateful of crabs and another plate for my other dishes. All dishes are flavorful. Servers are constantly picking up empty plates and sanitizing tables after customers leave.

    Chino's hidden gem! Everyone go try Bengee Sushi!…read more We were in Chino over the weekend for some board games and randomly searched for a lunch spot nearby. Ended up at Bengee Sushi and... wow. Completely exceeded expectations. I honestly didn't know Chino had such solid Japanese food We both ordered their Lunch Specials -- around $25 each, which is such a great deal. Since I'm not a big tempura person, we skipped the bento boxes and went straight for the good stuff. We got one Chirashi Bowl, and the moment it came out we were shocked. So much sashimi! Thick cuts, super fresh, and none of that fishy leftover-trim vibe. The sushi rice underneath was really good too -- not overly sweet or sour, just balanced. The other dish we ordered was the Sashimi Lunch, and again, super generous portion with way more variety than I expected. No shortcuts, no skimping. It also comes with miso soup and salad, both clean and tasty. We added hot tea, which hit the spot on a colder day. That feeling of "randomly picking a place and accidentally finding a great spot" is honestly unmatched They also offer a $79 omakase, plus a more premium $135 one (reservation required). After seeing how generous they are with their lunch portions, I'm definitely coming back for that next time. In short: amazing value. If you love sashimi and find yourself in Chino, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

    Food was ok and service was ok as well!…read more Seemed very rushed to get us in and out, food came out super super quick but tasted that way as well Got the uni udon, it was good! Can't complain. Got the baked green mussels but these were baked, just warmed up almost. The omurice curry plate wasn't good, the curry was super watery and lacking any flavor - the omurice omelette was over cooked and bland as well

    Stopped by Heemo Sushi in Chino Hills for lunch this past Sunday. The restaurant is very spacious…read morewith plenty of seating at both the sushi counter and tables. It wasn't very busy when we arrived--just a couple of other tables--so we were seated immediately. While they seem to have a massive selection of rolls (likely their specialty), we were in the mood for hot food. We ordered the Yaki Beef Udon and the Teriyaki Beef Bento set. A nice feature is that you can upgrade to a combo for an extra $10, which lets you choose between California rolls or tempura. The food was decent, though we found both dishes to be a bit on the salty and greasy side. One thing to note is that unlike most Japanese restaurants that provide complimentary hot tea, they charge $3.50 per person here for green tea. The service was okay--the servers weren't particularly warm or friendly, but they were attentive enough and came over whenever we needed something. I'd probably come back again just to try the rolls since that seems to be their main focus, but I'll skip the hot kitchen items next time.

I was wanting leaner protein. My wife got some sushi 8pc sushi and we shared a gyoza. They brought us out two gyoza and said one was in the house. Bad for my macros but delicious and appreciated!! We also shared a bottle of sake and instead of having dessert we got the seared waygu (I'm not a huge dessert fan and my wife indulged me!) and it was delicious. All in all dinner was fantastic and we will definitely be back! There was also multiple birthdays. The first one the lights went down and party music played and the staff came out with neon lights and a dessert for a table. It was lively and very fun. I think after one the other tables magically had birthdays too bc it happened a few more times. Definitely brought character and a fun vibe to the room but maybe not the best for a quiet meal. We enjoyed it immensely though!

The salad was really good, some type of peanut dressing. And I believe there was fresh grated wasabi on the tuna that came with the sashimi platter. Very good. I also got a nigori sake. Nigori style is unfiltered, you shake it up before you drink it. It is the cheapest of the sake's, but it's also my favorite so that's great. Service was quick, and amazing. And the place is very clean. I'll be back.

    An updated review is looong overdue…read more Ojiya has been a family staple. This is our go to spot when we want miso sea bass. My go to order is their three item combo- chicken teriyaki (basic I know but I always pack it for lunch), miso sea bass (because it's absolute perfection), and their crunch roll (no avocado since I tend to eat it for dinner and detest brown avocado). So yes, I basically order this huge meal to spread it out into three meals. The up charge for the miso sea bass is worth it! Don't even think twice. The sea bass is packed with flavor and melts in your mouth. My go to salad dressing is their miso, it's pretty darn good. Service has improved a ton, though they do get busy so I tend to get there right at opening. I love that I still see the same servers from when I first came here a little over ten years ago. Ambiance is rather cozy and warm. I like that it's a nice, intimate restaurant. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend Ojiya!

The restaurant is spacious with many tables and booths good for a group a two or more. They share parking with other businesses in the plaza and can get packed. Sometimes, you'll have to park behind the restaurant. You can join their waitlist via Yelp. Average wait time is about 20 mins from our experience. They have Lunch (open-3pm), Dinner (3pm-close), Fri-Sun & holidays, Kids, and Premium AYCE options. What I appreciate about their sushi menu is that each order comes with one piece to avoid wasting food. Our favorite items to order are everything from the premium menu, Smoked Salmon, Ikura, Cajun Yellowtail, Cajun Salmon, Salmon Skin Salad, Rolly Polly, and Salmon Skin Skewer. If I had to pick just one from this list, it would be the Cajun Salmon. I cannot have enough of it. It's so fresh, silky, and has that perfect hint of smokiness. Their fish to rice ratio is less rice, more fish. The staff are all attentive and friendly. If it's your first time, they'll explain the menu and how to order. You also have a 90 min time limit. Overall, I have had a great experience each time and will continue to dine here.

It's a great casual sushi spot, perfect for smaller groups/families.

It even has ikura and uni with the assorted sashimi in the bowl. Highly recommend for the price! - Salmon kama (collar), $8.99: this is a HUGE salmon collar portion for the price, and it's absolutely delicious. It takes a little longer for them to make, but is so worth it. - Spectrum roll and salmon lover roll: these are our 2 favorite rolls to order.
