    First time at Flaming Buffet. The decor is nice with plenty of comfy seating. The buffet is average with a Mongolian grill and sushi, but shines in the variety of seafood including full crabs and huge crab legs. The service is great, courteous, and friendly. I am torn because the seafood is great but some of the regular food was a tad overcooked and the rice crispy treats were super dry. I rate them 3.5 stars.

    The mushroom taste like fungi has been growing on them and the noodles are the worst noodles ever like how can u mess up noodles

    This food is actually a biohazard do not come here. Food was extremely cold and taste like it has been sitting out for a whole 24 hours. The food was disgustingly cold and everything tasted like it is growing an unexplainable virus on it. This is actually the worst food in the IE. I seen also in the reviews that they say you might have given a review to the wrong restaurant but I am reviewing about the right restaurant flaming buffet in chino.The restroom was also very dirty and smelly like sewer water. Floors were also very dirty and looked like they have not been clean since the restaurant was established. Please save ur time and dont come here food is also expensive for the worst food I have ever had not even Gordon Ramsey can save this place

    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.

    This place is unreal and every time we come here we are blown away with how good it is!…read more This review is long overdue! The rolls are stuffed so big that they can barely fit in your mouth, the fish is incredibly fresh, and the variety is top notch. Some of our favorites include... the sunset, 4 corner, the crunch hand roll, the Cajun yellowtail, the samurai , and the salmon belly. Holy cow the 4 corner roll is our new favorite! What the heck the magical seared Cajun salmon literally melts in your mouth. And because it's Cajun it has those smoky flavors that mesh so well with the sauces. Our eyes were rolling to the back of our heads with this one. Sunset is our go to. Salmon outside and crab inside. Perfection and the bite size portions are huge! The crunch roll was ginormous!!! So good! I was craving a shrimp tempura roll but wanted the nori so this hit the spot. It had shrimp tempura, avocado, and an overflowing amount of crab! We loved the 4 corner roll so much, our server recommend the Cajun yellowtail nigiri.... Insane. The samurai was really good too. Shrimp tempura, crab, and avocado inside and spicy tuna and fried eel outside. The salmon belly was crazy good. I've never tasted salmon so soft and melty. Asha our server was so so amazing! She brought us the salmon belly on the house, she was patient, kind, attentive, and so friendly :) Please do not hesitate to come here when you are craving some good sushi, great service, and the best ambiance!!!! Our favorite hands down!

    i dined here about a month or so ago. service was poor. i…read morewas served FROZEN toro. not at ALL worth the $14/piece pricing. it was so beyond disappointing. but the main point for my review: it seems that there are management issues in this restaurant. during my meal, an employee came in asking for their paycheck. i think the "argument" had something to do with the employee's earned tips as she was demanding to see tip calculations. in response, one of the chefs, i'm assuming the owner and manager of the place, was yelling and seemed to be making threats.. something about sending a lawyer to the employee's house. what was weird was that this was an open argument in the front of the restaurant. everyone, including me, was looking at the both of them. it seemed fishy to me. although i don't know the full situation, it looks really bad that the chef (manager/owner??) was yelling at their employee, to the point where she cried. whatever the situation is, making threats and yelling in public space isn't acceptable. must've been so humiliating and traumatizing for the employee. i didn't bother leaving a tip.. the service wasn't great either. the chef (most likely the owner) seems to be taking advantage of their employees. WILL NOT BE RETURNING. poor food quality and service, but on top of that, terrible management.

There's usually a wait during the dinner rush, but the food is absolutely worth it. Everything is consistently delicious & the quality keeps us coming back.

If you're looking for fresh sushi, great Japanese dishes & a restaurant that's earned a loyal following for good reason, Ojiya is a must-try!

What stood out to me was the rice to fish ratio. The rice was small and the fish was generously thick, which made every bite super satisfying. I honestly can't remember having sushi quite like that before. The chefs are from Japan, so you can tell the food is authentic. We also ordered the teriyaki bowl. It was okay, but nothing special. The Chirashi bowl, on the other hand, was packed with fish and definitely worth the price. Overall, if you're a sushi lover, I'd highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Ozeki Sushi Review -- AYCE Sushi for $37.95? Say less…read more I'm always looking for a sushi spot that delivers on quality, flavor, and value, and Ozeki Sushi definitely impressed! From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. Our server Gisel was amazing -- friendly, attentive, and made sure our experience was great from start to finish. Great service always makes a meal even better. We tried their all-you-can-eat sushi menu for only $37.95 per person, and it was absolutely worth it. The menu had a great variety, and the sushi came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Standout dishes: Lemon Sauce Salmon -- 10/10 (the star of the meal!)This was not your typical salmon roll. The fresh salmon was topped with their delicious lemon sauce and finished with a fresh lemon wedge right on top. The combination of the creamy, tangy lemon sauce with the brightness of fresh lemon added such a refreshing flavor that made this my favorite dish of the night. Salmon Hand Roll -- 10/10 Fresh, balanced, and packed with flavor. The perfect hand roll with a great salmon-to-rice ratio. Baked Lobster -- 10/10 Rich, savory, and full of flavor. Definitely one I'd order again. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl -- A pleasant surprise! The chicken was tender, flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. The drink specials were another win! Their buy one, get one free soju for only $12.50 is such a great deal. My personal favorite was the blueberry soju -- sweet, refreshing, and the perfect pairing with sushi. Ending the meal with the strawberry mochi was the perfect finishing touch. A light, sweet dessert to wrap up an amazing sushi experience. Overall, Ozeki Sushi checks all the boxes: great value, fresh food, friendly service, and delicious flavors. The combination of AYCE sushi, drink specials, and standout dishes like the lemon sauce salmon makes this a spot I'll definitely be returning to.

Obviously, this isn't super authentic or the best sushi, but for the area, it's our favorite. It used to be busier so we would try to get there before 6:30 pm or there's a wait, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. But the last time we were here on a Friday night, there wasn't a wait. Must be the economy. My son loves this spot because he loved their kids bento box, but he's upgraded now to the kids AYCE and gets 2-3 orders of teriyaki chicken and shrimp tempura. The decor is dark with modern-ish black walls and Japanese inspired murals. The sushi bar is fairly large and there are at least 4-5 tvs showing basketball or baseball games or fish tanks. The wait staff is usually pretty attentive but the last time it was kinda slow, but we had to flag a waitress down to get refills and the check. We love their fusion nigiri - pepper salmon, pepper tuna, garlic albacore! We just wish the rice was less.

They are celebrating their 20 years anniversary by offering 50% off all sushi and rolls. It's all day Happy Hour. We ordered Monkey Balls. It's deep fried spicy tuna with mushroom.

We also had Rainbow roll and Salmon Lover roll. Both of these were delicious. My favorite was the Rainbow roll. I liked the assortment of raw fish on this roll. We ordered the Yellowtail roll under the regular rolls menu so we can compare and see the difference of a regular roll versus the premium rolls. The regular roll was a bit boring.

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. Spectrum has albacore with crispy fried onions, and salmon lover has is... well, packed with salmon. Miso soup comes with all orders. Service is always extremely friendly and food comes out quickly. Plenty of parking as well. Will be back to visit again soon!
