I'll start with the crab legs. I was overly impressed, especially for buffet crab legs. I didn't even miss the butter. These crabs were sweet, tender and perfectly cooked. The crab legs alone would've been worth the price, but it didn't stop at crab legs. They had a pretty abundant selection with some really good eats. I enjoyed the sushi and sashimi. I enjoyed the salt and pepper shrimp, scallops, muscles & other seafood options. It was just a really nice buffet. I definitely recommend. And, it was priced pretty decently especially for a Saturday night. read more

Flaming Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

We recently celebrated my dad's 80th birthday at Flaming Buffet, and it turned out to be a great spot for such a big family gathering. We had roughly 30 guests, and the restaurant comfortably accommodated our group in one section of the dining room with a combination of long tables and booths, which made it easy for everyone to sit together and enjoy the celebration. Every once in a while they played a birthday tune over the speakers, which was definitely an interesting and fun touch that added to the festive vibe of the evening. The buffet itself has a huge selection, and everyone seemed especially excited about the fresh seafood options. My niece even tried snail for the first time, which impressed me! There's also a large variety of sushi, which many of our guests enjoyed. Some of my personal favorites were the black pepper chicken, green beans, and sautéed mushrooms. Everything else looked delicious too, but I was already full. Next time I'll definitely come prepared with a bigger appetite to really take advantage of the AYCE experience. One thing I wish they offered was more beverage choices. The options were limited to soda fountain drinks, green tea, and unfiltered water, which wasn't the best selection to pair with such a wide variety of foods. There were also plenty of fried comfort foods like pizza and fries, which made it a great place for both adults and kids since there's truly something for everyone. The staff was friendly and attentive, and overall it was a great place to gather with family and celebrate a special milestone. read more

Definitely five stars for all you can eat buffet style Asian food. Has ample parking since they share the lot with other businesses. We arrived for lunch around 1 PM, not too busy, which is surprising given the quality of the food and the value for a buffet, around $20 per person. This place is truly a gem.We were greeted as soon as we entered the door and shown to a table.. The only other service you really need is someone to take away plates and bring free refills of softdrinks; which happens quickly. Given the array of hot food and sushi is exceptional, you'll want to return for another plate! if you're traveling south from the LA area to the Pechanga Resort & Casino, you definitely wanna stop here for lunch or dinner. That's what we do. Well recommended, we will return. read more

Food is greasy. The waiter was attentive. However the receptionists need more training and welcoming.

Variety is king! Plus the food is palatable, kept full and fresh in batches. The restaurant is clean and the servers collect your used plates from your table quickly. Plate 1: stuffed scallop, cheesy green mussel, manila clams in black bean sauce, cream cheese wonton, peppered beef, orange chicken, chr siu spare ribs, chicken nugget, eggroll, potsticker, chicken wings, and sautéed green beans. Verdict: decent quality for buffet and the standouts were the stuffed scallop, cheesy green mussel, and char siu spar ribs for 4/5 stars. Plate 2: salt & pepper crab cluster, chicken wings, coconut shrimp, stuffed scallop, cheesy green mussel, teriyaki chicken, general Tso chicken, garlic chicken, and chicken nuggets. Verdict: unfortunately the crab was fishy tasting (2/5 stars), but the coconut shrimp was delectable (4/5 stars). The rest were typical fare for a 3.5/5 star rating. Plate 3: cheese pizza, fried battered fish, chicken wings, unagi, California roll, beef without broccoli, spicy chicken, and sautéed green beans. Verdict: the fried battered fish and spicy chicken were delightful, 4/5 stars. The rest were a 3.5/5 stars. To conclude, I didn't have room for dessert but as you can tell that this is the spot for feasting and well worth the $22.99 admission price! read more

Been here now on two visits, with a recent visit to enjoy their buffet. It's a good value and they have a bit of everything here and every palate. Let me tell you, you will be feeling stuffed after dining here because you'll want to try a bit of everything. They have a few hot stations, including a mixed Filipino Entree and American fried food section at the very back, with pork ribs, fried bananas, chicken nuggets, and fries. In the middle sections are soups, Chinese entrees, Seafood items - they have a LOT of shrimp at this buffet, which I absolutely devoured on. There's some stir-fry like Beef and Broccoli. There's also a fresh sushi section, which is pretty good. Also lots of fruit and other chilled sides. Servers were pretty good here, but sometimes there's a wait to clear your table. But also because they are usually busy. Restrooms were adequate, not the prettiest or cleanest, but it will do the job. Parking is a shared lot in the plaza with the big Walmart and VONS market and may be busy during busier hours. read more

#600 Flaming Buffet - Corona This is the 3rd Flaming Buffet location we have been to, and is the absolute winner of all the other Flaming Buffets we've been to!!! Parking lot is huge but shared with Walmart and Vons, so it could get full. Service was great, drinks constantly refilled and plates collected. Not only is the sushi selection fresh, but they have thinly sliced NY steak and Kbbq kalbi ribs at the hibachi grill for dinner and weekends!! The kalbi ribs were marinated well and so tender & juicy!! Although the NY steak was thinly sliced, it was still delish and hit the spot!! #winning!! Chicken wings were fresh, juicy, and crunchy. Mi fen noodles were delish, and great pairing w the short ribs!! Great selection of seafood, Chinese food, fruits, desserts, and other fried finger food!!! All this for $23.99 you really can't go wrong!! Definitely my new fave buffet!! read more

My drink had a big fly in I didn't notice until I've drank half of it started gagging and left this place is trash. Worker who brought me the drink was rude and was laughing with his co workers about it. When someone is distressed about A FLY in their drink you do not start laughing. Very unprofessional and nasty behavior on staffs part. DISGUSTING read more

This buffet is not bad! Considering the price point and the the varieties of food that they have. I like the seafood, sashimi, and the fruits offering on the buffet. We came twice and each time we were seated promptly, and we were on our way to enjoy your picking. The teppanyaki is okay, I'm not a big fan of it generally, but they do have that, they have fresh boiled crab legs, you'd have to ask your wait staff for the butter. The sashimi were decent, and I enjoy the baked mussels and the soup varieties as well. The wait staff are efficient, our waters were refilled before we had to ask for more, and they kept the floors/carpet area clean. I also approve of the Chinese song selections playing during both times we visited! read more

Yummy place to eat!! Everything is always fresh!! We love coming here for lunch/dinner! Great selection of all our favorites!!

If you think about bringing ziplock bag to store food its not worth it. Desserts lack interest for such big store sign. Restroom need improvement and lighting in all interiors also. The fly landed on the table maybe there's a spark of hope. read more

A seafood, Chinese, sushi, & grill buffet in the AYCE environment. I have been here twice in the last week. The first visit was in the mid to late afternoon. I would have given it 3 stars. Food was ok for what this place is. Nothing great. Quality of food is on the low medium side of the scale. Seemed clean and service was okay. However, I visited FB an hour before closing this evening. This is definitely a NO GO choice. The food was horrible. Nothing was fresh, orange chicken was tough in places, sushi bar was very limited, I think it was a spicy chicken was hard, chow main looked over cooked/heated, wings over cooked/heated. Most of the choices seemed to be the bottom of the barrel and not worth the price of admission. Also, I found a hair in the wasabi plate. Not mine because I am bald, plus it was in the wasabi and not on top. It seems like if a restaurant is not going to stock up and just let people come to eat their table scraps, they should give a discount. If I payed 10 bucks for such an experience I might be okay, it is still a bad choice either way. For this experience I gave them a 1 star. With that they end up with 2 stars to balance it out. If you are hungry and are fine with eating average to low quality food in a somewhat clean place that has decent service, you will probably be okay. However, if you're looking for that same level of mediocre an hour before they close, go somewhere else. As always, your mileage may vary (but in this instance, I doubt it. ) read more

Flaming Buffet - Just shut the lights out. - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

Haven't eaten here in a couple of years so my expectation was that it was going to be like all other buffets. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. From the sole fish to the sushi, all of it was pretty darn delicious! All the food tasted fresh! The fruits were great and the dessert selection too! Service was quick! Part of the seating section is under construction, but still has enough room for folks to sit comfortably. If you're in the Inland Empire area, check out Flaming Buffet!!! read more

Great value for the quality and AYCE quantity of food, especially during the weekday buffet--$14.99 person includes seafood dishes normally offered only during dinnertime at other buffet restaurants (clams, large fried shrimp). The highlight of my experience was the chicken feet. So delicious and good for your skin and joints!! Very hard to find!! Great service, clean, tons of parking. Will definitely come back!! read more

Flaming Buffet - Dining area - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

The owners/people who run this place are miserable greedy scammers. I am literally sickened by the avarice these people leak out of them. I went out to eat here with a couple of family members between what I later found out was lunch and dinner (around 3:30pm). One of my family members went to go get their last serving and brought back a small plate of a couple of tiny deep fried crabs before we left. The Asian waiter ran to our table and scolded my family member for taking seafood from the buffet yelling loudly ithat the seafood was considered dinner and that he was going to charge him the dinner price (these tiny deep-fried crabs used to be part of lunch, btw, but now they've limited their lunch selection to charge more for "dinner options"). He later turned to us all and asked if we were also going to get seafood so he could charge us dinner prices as well. We had literally been there for about 45 mins and were about to leave! My family member said he didn't know the seafood was considered dinner and the waiter literally snatched the plate of food away from him. What kind of miserable avaricious animal do you have to be to do that? He probably put it back out into the buffet with how ridiculously greedy they are. I had a similar experience a while back while eating there. I didn't want soda and took a canned energy drink inside. I purchased a lunch buffet and sat down to eat. I asked for some ice and the waitress looked upset that I had asked her. She reluctantly gave me a small cup of ice. As I was leaving to pay for my lunch. She caught up with me and tried to take my aluminum energy drink can from my hand. I was startled by her invading my personal space like that and pulled back. I honestly didn't care about the can, but her trying to force it out of my hand really pissed me off. I said I was keeping the can and she answered by reminding me that she had not charged me for the ice. Lmfao. I told her to charge me for the ice and she walked away. In addition to this, I have noticed that they seat their White, Latino, and Black, customers to the side and further away from the buffet. They seat the Asians in the more comfortable carpeted area with booths closest to the food. It CANNOT be a coincidence as it has happened every single time I have been there in the last few years. I invite you to observe. These rats are racist and miserable and I hate to think about what kind of shortcuts they take with the food they sell in order to save a dime. The food has been really bland the last couple of times that I have come here and the lack of freshness is notable. A lot of the items were lukewarm and breeding grounds for bacteria. Thinking of calling the inspectors to check it out. read more

This place has gone bad. Same as other clients it happened to me today. I had an absolutely awful experience at Flaming Buffet. I was served spoiled crab legs--they smelled off and tasted worse. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they were completely dismissive and showed no concern whatsoever about the issue. No apology, no action, and the bad food stayed in the buffet like it was no big deal. This isn't just bad service--it's a serious health risk, and the way they handled it was shockingly unprofessional. I will never eat here again, and I highly recommend others stay away unless you want to gamble with your health. I used to be a regular client, not anymore. People please be advise before going to eat there you may encounter spoiled food and they don't care about you or families. read more

Very Disappointed My family and I have been coming here for a while and it was always a great experience--until today. While my husband was eating crab legs, one of them tasted off. As soon as he set it down, a foul odor--like a broken sewer line--filled the table. Clearly, the crab leg was rotten. We politely called the manager over to inform her. Unfortunately, she seemed completely indifferent and showed no concern at all. When the check arrived, we were still charged the full amount. We calmly asked if a discount could be applied to my husband's portion since he had just eaten spoiled seafood. She said she needed to speak with her manager. When she returned, she said, "My manager said you don't have to pay your bill, but you're no longer welcome here." We were stunned. We never asked for the entire bill to be waived--just a reasonable adjustment. To make matters worse, she began laughing in our faces while we tried to explain the misunderstanding. We've supported this restaurant for a long time, but after today's experience, we won't be coming back. The lack of professionalism and basic customer service was truly disappointing. read more

Been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. I preferred the dinner because there's lots of crabs but the lunch buffet was pretty good too. Among our favorites: * deep fried catfish * chicken feet * coconut chicken (lunch) or shrimp (dinner) * mongolian bbq with the small white noodles * seasoned crab & crab legs (I also asked our server for some melted butter) * almond cookies * papaya & watermelon The servers are awesome. Very nice and clear your plate quickly. They are always cleaning. It's rare to see a buffet with an A rating and they do. The food are mostly good, but the crab can be mushy, which I'm not fond of. Grab what's good and just don't eat what's not. I tend to get one piece of everything to try and then go back for the ones I like. Will definitely come back to this buffet when in the area (especially when coming from a medical appt at the nearby kaiser. Pro tip: get root beer for your drink and then grab a vanilla ice cream from the dessert area to make a delicious root beer float read more

I've been coming to this place for many many years. If not 10 years, the quality of the food that they serve has just gone downhill. It used to be one of my favorite places to go and I would go twice a month sometimes. But after today's experience I'm sorry to report you have lost a customer. Food is becoming more and more fake and they use a lot of fillers. It's just not worth the nearly $35 after price tax and tip per person. I don't even know if I would come back at 50% off the price. The food is that horrible read more

Overall, this place was pretty disappointing. Most of the food was cold and had barely any flavor, walking in the place smelled like seafood but in an unappetizing way. The only good thing was the service but would not recommend the food. Left feeling very nauseous read more

The service was good the waiter was constantly checking in to make sure the table was cleared of dirty dishes and that the drinks were filled. The food was good typical buffet food. Not a very large selection but yummy. My favorite was the magnolias grill. The dessert was lacking a couple pieces of dry cake some cookies and jello. The buffet was clean and the music pleasant to listen to and not too loud. read more

I was in the neighborhood on a Saturday and decided to grab lunch. My mom and I used to come to this buffet when she was still alive. It has changed owners a few times so I was not expecting much. I am glad to say I loved it. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The counters and the dishes were clean and the trays were being topped up regularly. I especially enjoyed the shrimp in lobster sauce, the pepper chicken, Peking chicken, seafood soup, sauteed green beans, sushi and sashimi. Lots of people going to town on steamed crab. Due to allergies I couldn't eat the crab. I am looking forward to eating there again soon. read more

I go to a buffet for the large variety of food and this buffet definitely meets that for a great price! I went here for a party of 2 of a Friday at 11am right when they opened. The price was $14.99pp. I must say I was very impressed with the large variety of Chinese food to choose from! I'm a fan of Chinese food especially Chinese buffets because I could just get a little of everything. Most Chinese food if it's cooked right then it tastes similar to other restaurants unless it's a specialty restaurant then flavor would definitely stand out for the dish. See that doesn't apply for Chinese buffets. Chinese buffets have good food but they don't have a specific specialty. People go to buffets for good food + variety. They have: 6 main food stations 1 big main food station Mongolian station Sushi station Cold seafood station Ice cream cups freezer I've been to Luxe Buffet in Ontario by the Mills and I know for sure this buffet has more food choices. Luxe Buffet just has more sushi. Definitely my go to buffet even though I'm not near Corona. It's worth the drive! read more

Best buffett in the Inland Empire by a mile! Great seafood selection on the weekend for dirt cheap prices! The only thing that needs cleaning up is the men's restroom ... too many graffitties. Otherwise, two thumbs way up!! read more

Do not eat here. Food is stale even at opening time. Nothing has real flavor and it's swimming in grease. Sauces are so watered down it just makes everything soggy. Wait staff watches you like a hawk and it's unsettling when you catch them staring several times. Husband and I felt sick before we even left. I don't know what "good food" everyone else is getting but it's most def not here. read more

The flavor profile of the food was great, but I got there about 2 hours before closing and they were not bringing out any new food. They didn't even have steamed rice in the cooker! Everything was almost gone by the time I left and I couldn't try more of the plates. I understand that it was a slower night but it was insulting for us who had paid for dinner and didn't get fresh food. Wasn't worth my money and won't be returning. read more

Back in 2020, the previous buffet at this location/establishment was closed and or undergoing construction or was just simply closed due to the Covid pandemic. Fast forward to February 2023, this new place the Flaming Buffis now open and welcomes the community to come and dine in at this buffet location on McKinley in corona California. Came here three times now and have decided to finally write a review of this establishment. To be honest, you really can't express how well or not this place can be rated because of the time of day and in-between hours of replenishing food trays on the buffet line. You simply can't tell because as you think the entree was not good, the chef brings in a new load that is flavorful and exquisite as of a new recipe was used in fact it is identically the same. For now, the place is a grandeur of exploration waiting for the very few taste buds to experience the vast wonder of seafood (during dinner only) as well as lunch! Food is tasting great at the moment. Come and try it. read more

I went again last Wednesday for the lunch buffet and was pleasantly surprised. For lunch it was around $15 for an adult and it was decently priced. I wish they would add labels for the lunch items because on the glass above the food there's only labels for what would be there during lunch. The lo mein wasn't bland this time and I actually enjoyed it. The fried rice was bland, but I like lo mein more anyways. The service was great and the server made sure to clear our table often. It was pretty busy when we went during lunch time, but it wasn't too loud or quiet in there. The lunch items are different than the dinner ones(ex: coconut shrimp is only for the dinner menu.) I still enjoyed the options they had during lunch, but I'd opt for just getting dinner here from now on since the coconut shrimp is my favorite item there! read more

It's good for what it is. Lunch is okay. Dinner has more premium items. To be honest, lunch is pretty good and affordable. I mean, for the price. It's not bad. You got a row of deep fried stuff, types of soup, and items including seafood like shrimp and clams. There's also a mongolian / stir fry area and sushi and shrimps/ clams. For dinner, they added steak , sashimi - salmon/ tuna and some crabs / crab legs. Dessert is a mix of fruits and small snacks. And yes there's a salad bar. It's not the greatest but yeah it's value. Service was pretty good. They kept on refilling my soda and cleared my plates promptly. The toilet though needs a little bit of revamp. The mirrors are written on and cleanliness needs to be monitored. read more

We went later in the day and grab 3 to go boxes. One was the Mongolian bbq plate which we packed to the brim- my husband really liked the noodles, next was a bunch of options from the buffet stations and last I made a plate filled with all sorts of sushi. I'm a sushi girlie and I was very satisfied with the rolls and sashimi options. We went 30 min before closing and they still had a nice selection and slow vibe. We live in the Bay Area but it's next to my mom's house so I know we will be back. read more

My family and I have been eating here for a while now. I really like that they have plenty of food options, and they also have a Mongolian grill, where you can have them cook you a fresh plate of noodles or vegetables. You can definitely make it your own and to your liking. They also offer New York steaks during the weekend. The service is always good and friendly. The ambiance is great with plenty of spaces between tables. I would recommend this place for you to try it out. Thank you and happy eating.
