The flaming buffet inside looks like a run down building. The food there didn't have much taste nor flavor. They some how made Oreos have 0 taste. They didn't have much variety and in general the food was terrible. The service was slow and took forever to get refills. read more

Wednesday nights are great for the crab legs Server was very attentive as well. I always enjoy the unlimited salmon sashimi

DONT GO HERE cheap but so bad. Even these 3 people beside me sat n left right away after eating a bit of their first plate. Only good thing was the cookies from packaging. The interior is weird too. read more

Crabs are nice, especially the big ones are flavorful and filled with roes. May not have wild variety of seafood, but only fraction of cost compared to other upscale seafood buffet. read more

Your parents and grandparents wanna go so you just agree, and make them happy, because they love the idea of eating 7lbs of food for $22. But you're conscious of seed oils and have been trying to go to the gym. You know it's not quality food but, there's honeydew and pineapple and that can't be bad, right? So you get a plate of beef and broccoli that looks like it was made with 4 bottles of oyster sauce, because at least it's broccoli. Then you get their cheese pizza which you have no idea how or why it tastes so good. You avoid the sushi and sashimi because...you value the next 24hrs of your life. You peck at some crab legs but then you get lazy and just eat 4 ribs with your bare hands instead. Your parents and grandparents are happy and comment on the tremendous value for $22. You feel kinda good too realizing your 5 year old only cost 8 bucks for her 3 plates of edamame. You leave feeling everyone look at you, but they're there too, so nobody can really judge. In reality they're blankly looking at you because they're in a food coma and it has nothing to do with you at all. read more

Went here to try this place out. Place had ample parking, price was ok. Now onto the food. The sushi was great, it was fresh, variety of options to choose from. Hot foods was good as well. Mongolian grill was good too but the guy doing it didn't take my plate the 2nd time I came back and took others even if I was before them so that turned me off. Dessert choices not great compared to others. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner. My daughter saw a staff member sneeze onto the receipt and fortune cookies amd gave it to the customer. Needs improvement, was really hoping this was going to be a new go to place. read more

Such a great deal for how much crab, lobster, ice cream and wayy more you can eat. If you can eat a lot this is the place. Very quick servers and a nice quiet atomosphere. read more

The food was not the best. The cold shrimp was over cooked and even hard. The servers were so rude. I paid cash and over paid and they thought my large amount of change was their tip so I had to ask for my change. Then when they gave it to me, the server was just standing right over me, as if she were begging for a tip. We weren't even ready to leave yet. That was very uncomfortable. My partner pointed out that her and her coworker kept staring at us to see if we were going to tip. It was so uncomfortable. The atmosphere was quiet because we came right when it opened, but then it quickly became busy. The workers there were also unfriendly when I went to look for the rest room. Honestly the only good thing was the price, but we definitely won't be coming back. read more

I'm not big on buffets but my dad loves them. Plus it makes it easier on everyone since there's something for everyone's palate. The service was straight forward and simple. Walk in, tell them how many in your party, get seated, drinks and utensils are brought to you. Then of you go to serve yourself at the buffet. The buffet area is cramped. As other reviewers have mentioned it may cause claustrophobia to some people. Definitely have to wait sometimes for people to move on in order to serve yourself. Food options are Asian and Western dishes. Employees are constantly changing the food pans. In case you're bummed because there's an empty pan of what you wanted. Wait a few minutes or ask an employee. They'll get right on it. Waiters are pretty good on taking away dirty plates. They're not constantly checking up on you so that's good. Quality of food is what you'd expect from a buffet. Average flavor, cooked fast, and in large quantities. Nothing looked disgusting or tasted of. Will be going back for sure. read more

Flaming Buffet - Good food is worth a thousand words - Seafood Near Me - Chino, California

Basic Chinese food . The selection of foods is not that good. There's nothing much to eat. I'm disappointed because Flaming Buffet located in McKinley Corona is really good! But this Flaming Buffet located in Central ( Ontario) is not that good Is like the Mc Donald of all the Buffet. read more

Terrible buffet. I went to celebrate one of our family's important event & it was a mess. The food options are terrible, everything was rock-hard which means it has been cooked for a while & exposed in the air for a bit. Sushi rolls and sashimi (very stale and thin) are mediocre with lack of flavor. I couldn't believe they charged me for weekend dinner price too! I realized it once I got home. I will never be back read more

Flaming Buffet - I got bunch of food to try & none of them impressed me a single bit. Even soda was bad - Seafood Near Me - Chino, California

Came here with my boyfriend and staff sat us right away, always made sure our drinks were filled and plates were taken away after use. The food had a great variety especially on the day we went because it was their Wednesday special which included crab legs, baked oysters & sea snails. Everything was great for an average Chinese buffet, we'll definitely be back but only once in awhile as majority of the food is oily & doused in msg. read more

Flaming Buffet - Wednesday special items - Seafood Near Me - Chino, California

Summary: If you've been to a standard buffet, you've been to Flaming Buffet. Don't travel far to come here, it's nothing special. Because of the poorly washed utensils, i give it a 2 star rating. I doubt I will be back. Flaming Buffet has been open for a short while and I've been meaning to try it sooner. I came by myself and it cost $12.90 for all you can eat buffet. All things considered, that's relatively cheap. This is standard buffet quality, and it does not bring anything particular or special to the table. The service was good and they obliged my requests quickly. The food quality was just ok. There are some decent buffets around the local area and patrons have decent choices, other than Flaming Buffet. For the price however, at $12.90, you may not find a better deal for standard Chinese buffet. I've dined at buffets in socio-economically poor areas that charge $20.00 for the same thing, and I suppose the price is right for the quality of the food: mediocre and could have been better. My only real complaint were their utensils. As my photos will prove, I chose 3 random forks and they were all very dirty. It kind of seems that they just threw them in water and pulled them out without even bothering to give them a scrub or a send through the washing machine. It really grossed me out and I didn't even want to drink out of my glass of water: Flaming Buffet may have hygienic concerns, especially for those who are conscientious about Covid and Monkey Pox. Summary: If you've been to a standard buffet, you've been to Flaming Buffet as logic may follow. Don't travel far to come here, it's nothing special. Because of the poorly washed utensils, I doubt I will be back. Mediocre food, informal dining, standard service. read more

Flaming Buffet - a plate of food on a table - Seafood Near Me - Chino, California

I went on opening day an hour before closing. The staff was friendly but a lot of them were just hanging around, or taking their meal breaks among different tables. The food was decent to bland but I understand that I came at the end of the day so the food wasn't as fresh, even the rice noodle wrapper on the steamed dumpling were turning crunchy. The sushi was my favorite out of all the dishes, but the rice underneath was a bit on the excess, and when I tried the pickled ginger that came with the sushi, it tasted like some sort of chemical cleaner. I notified the host but she just sat back down at the front desk and didn't notify the kitchen staff. I love enjoy crawfish, and though it's not as good as a New Orleans crawfish boil, it had good flavors. Also their fried crab had a nice seasoning and taste to it. I tried their Mongolian bbq with a slab of steak, noodles, mushrooms and onions, but the meat was overcook and bland, and they don't have the seasoning sauces like you would see at Mongolian bbq places. Along the buffet their salmon was over cooked and bland, their fried fish was pink on the inside and a little slimy so I spit it out, the fried shrimp was pretty good, the breaded shrimp was bland and hard, and the sauces on the muscles were not appetizing. They did have a small freezer with single serve cups of ice cream which was nice. Overall it was a nice experience going to a buffet again, but I hope the flavors of the dishes improve whenever I choose to return. read more

I came on Wednesday for their Sea Food night for $28.99. The snow crabs were small and didn't taste fresh. On some pictures you see the bigger light orange variety, but they also mix the small darker orange kind in it. Baked oysters were undercooked and lacked any flavor. Service was decent, got refills and plates removed promptly. The rest of the food was the usual, so save your money and come on a regular $18.99 night. (or go to Tasty in Pomona, overall a bit better in my opinion) read more

We loved this place!! It was our first time here today and we were very impressed with the quality of the food! It was fresh and delicious! Not like other buffets where it tastes a lot like oil, fat, old food and unhealthy. The service was also great. They checked on us regularly by cleaning our table and brining us new drinks every time we ran low. I will definitely come back here! Whatever they are doing, I hope they keep it the same and not change because their food quality really does taste fresh, healthy and delicious! Well, except for the sushi, I feel like they can improve. When I tried it, it tasted dry and old, like it has been out for a while. Maybe they need to make small amounts and wait until it's running low for them to make new and fresh rolls. Other than that, everything else was fresh and delicious! read more

I can't think of anything positive about this place. Restaurant appearance was old, felt cluttered, and dirty. Food was nothing special..typical Asian buffet with low quality and lack of flavor. Sushi rice had no flavor and cuts of fish looked old. Nothing worth coming back for read more

You will charge for not eating anything disgusting... GET it together, I didn't feel welcomed and they were looking at me strange whoever is the manager get it together seriously read more

The food is good. Nothing exciting, but it is good. The service is also good. Their prices keep increasing.

They allowed a family bring in their pet dog inside the dining area and even let them to get food from the buffet to feed the dog...so unsanitary! read more

The food was very good, the chicken wings were good, I didn't eat too much because i was too nervous for the next day, overall 5/5 stars.

Flaming Buffet - New price. Wednesday night they offer crab legs - Seafood Near Me - Chino, California

wanted to try this buffet since it wasn't too far from my house, and haven't really been to a buffet since the pandemic, and I felt like pigging out. I went on a Wednesday which is snow crab night , $27.99 a person. So we got seated and I could tell the place was clean and well kept, plenty of room so if you come with a party it should be a problem. Crab legs were served hot and they made sure it was always full. The food was pretty basic. Quality was a bit better than your usual Asian buffets because they served snow crab and cooked oysters. They had a section for the Mongolian stir fry and if you wanted they served thin rib eyes steaks made to order. The dessert section was "basic" nothing too special but they did have individual pre packed ice cream in the freezer. Sushi section was limited, they had at the most 4 different types of rolls and salmon and tuna sashimi. If you aren't expecting much, but want to eat some decent buffet food with a few gems in it, this is the place! read more

We were excited to try this buffet, but were hugely disappointed. The food was underwhelming to say the least. The layout of the food options was weird, did not have a concise flow and people kept bumping into each other. The food my party tried was subpar and dried out, tasted as if it was sitting out for a while. The hibachi grill was the worst part of all. The noodles and veggies were undercooked. You are given a choice of sauces, but you don't get to choose how much of the specific sauce you can put into your food. The food ends up bland and flavorless. Don't waste your time & money. Any other takeout place would probably taste better & be cheaper. read more

Went 2/16/25 I get it, it's a Sunday...price is fair.... But I think it falls on the buffet and families, kids running everywhere, etc . It wasn't too cold outside, but there was literally like no air circulation in the buffet as well. Sushi is right in front of the hibachi grill, mine were a little warm. Barely any plates, food looks steaming hot but I get to my table and it doesn't taste fresh at all. Maybe if I were to go a different day it could've been better. read more

Update: we have noticed the price creeping up but the quality of food and service is the same. If this trend continues we will probably stop coming as other food options in same price range offer better quality. read more

On my bill there is a rounding fee. There is nothing posted about a rounding fee at the restaurant, in store, and online. Talked to a staff member and was told the rounding fee ranges from 1 to 5 cents depending on the total. The staff member also showed me other guest receipts with the various rounding fee. Yeah... The fee is minor, 1 to 5 cents extra but if you think about it. The more guests dine in to the restaurant the more the restaurant will make an extra profit. Warned my friends, family, and some online friends. They all agreed not to visit the restaurant. read more
