    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.

    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!

That bite literally melts on the tongue. For that matter, everything offered on the menu is over the top delicious! As a starter we had the crostini bites topped with candied tomatoes, so fresh and tasty. We wanted more, but thankfully held off as their loaf of house bread arrived with hand-whipped butter to tempt us. It became clear we needed to exercise restraint as we now understood we would want to save room for each delectable course coming our way. Roasted Brussel Sprouts were next and amazing! The hint of lemon was a delicious surprise. Entrees? Fabulous! We had the mentioned Rib Eye. Three of us had the lamb which got raves from everyone. I had the filet mignon, topped with gorganzola, with pomme frites, the best I've ever tasted. The filet mignon melted in my mouth! All of us had the Hen of the Woods mushroom side. That mushroom was a new experience for all of us and everyone loved it! Our perfect finish was crème brule and a rich roasted coffee. Everything was absolutely amazing, including our waiter Jordan, who anticipated our every wish before we even knew that we wanted it! The wine collection at Owen's Bistro is impressive and my husband said the bartender made him one of the best martinis he's ever enjoyed. We were celebrating our son's birthday and an additional and very thoughtful touch was the table was decorated for the occasion with a birthday card waiting for him from the staff. The atmosphere at Owen's is so lovely. You feel that you're in a quaint European village, where you're encouraged to take your time and enjoy the complete experience of fine dining. Our family has traveled the world, experiencing many excellent meals. What a joy to know the finest can be found just 15 minutes from home! We can't wait to return!

Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs. We ordered three combo bags, each with shrimp, mussels, and crab legs. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like there was anywhere close to 1lb each of shrimp and mussels in the bags. I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

It looked like they have a lot of online orders though. I looked at the menu and noticed they have a lot of seafood options. I decided to try the lobster roll garlic butter sauce. I was told it was $36 for market price but I was actually charged $37. I also got a soda and asked for ice and it came in the tiniest cup of ice with no lid. It didn't really work for me so I ended up not using that cup. The employee in the front was nice though. Once I got home I tried it and it was okay. It's not the best lobster roll I've had. The fries were fine but the lobster was a bit dry. Melted butter on the side would have made it better, but I forgot to ask for that. Since they do have a lot of seafood options I wouldn't mind coming back to give them another try.
