    My first two plates!
    Gladys P.

    This was my family's go-to meeting spot for years, and then after my mom died a few years ago, we just didn't feel like coming here anymore. Not sure if there's new management but we finally tried it again and we were pleasantly surprised! Great food, lots of seafood selections, and everything looked fresh. It's expensive but try to get there before 3:30 for their lunch special Mon-Fri.

    Solid 3.5 stars. Came for a lunch event reception on a Saturday and they blocked off an entire area for the party. This buffet is in the same center as Walmart. Probably one of the biggest Asian buffets I've been to. Great selection of hot food, seafood (especially the highly coveted crab legs), desserts, fruit, and mongolian grill. Loved the crispy pork ribs, cajun shrimp, and the garlic green beans. Have to highlight the selection of fresh fruit here is my fave. Fresh lychees (with skin), papaya, & so much more. Despite our huge party, they were so efficient with drink refills and rounding all the tables. Decent food. Great service.

    Receipt at Flaming Buffet

    Disappointing Dinner Experience We came to Flaming Buffet in Corona specifically for the crab legs and seafood and were charged the dinner rate of $26.99 per person. Unfortunately, the crab-leg station had mostly small, broken, picked-over pieces. I asked three times for the crab legs to be refilled. When I reminded the cashier that we were paying the dinner price, she responded, "Everybody is paying dinner." Despite my repeated requests, they still did not refill them. After waiting, I started filming the crab-leg station. Only then did they finally bring out a refill--the first and only refill I saw. By that point, we were so disappointed that we stopped eating and asked for our bill. The cashier then offered us a 10% discount. To be clear, we never asked for a discount and that wasn't what we were after. We simply wanted the dinner food we were paying for to be available. Customers shouldn't have to ask three times and start filming before a buffet item is replenished. Very disappointing experience.

    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.

    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!

    #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!!

    Coconut great

    The food was great! Not busy at all! Lunch prices were until 3:30 made it by 20 minutes! Stuffed myself! We were here just about a month ago for dinner. Today for lunch it was 15.30 each! Lots of help and very helpful!

    To me, just another buffet. Food is not the best quality, as expected. One of the items did stand out which was the walnut shrimp.

Everything from service to food was amazing - totally deserving of their high reviews! First, the service is phenomenal! Staff is always so friendly and happy to help if you have any questions about the menu before ordering. They also check in often to ask if you're doing okay, need more water, etc. My group always feels well taken care of whenever we come here. Now, the food is so scrumptious! Everything tastes so fresh, and I love the amount of veggies they put in the dishes. I feel as though other Thai restaurants don't put enough, but here, there is a great balance between the protein, starch, and veggies. My favorite dish so far is the cashew chicken with the crispy chicken and white rice (not pictured because my group couldn't wait to dig in lol). The sauce that coats the chicken and veggies is so flavorful! For dessert, the mango sticky rice is delicious! I appreciate the amount of mango slices served with the rice as well as I've been to other places that just put a few slices on top and call it a day. Overall, this is a really solid Thai food place, and I can't believe it's here in the IE. I'll definitely keep coming back and will continue to recommend this place to others! :)

The service was prompt and thoughtfully carried out as they wanted to be sure they got everyone's orders correct and everything was our liking. We didn't feel rushed to place our orders or eat our food. The food was incredibly fresh! I had the orange chicken and for me this stood out as one of the best orange chickens I have ever had. It is not the typical heavily breaded, premade orange chicken you sometimes get. The chicken is freshly battered and sits nicely on top of their house made orange sauce topped with fresh onion. The sauce was SO good! Flavorful and light rather than overly thick, sticky, or syrupy. Definitely a hit for me, the only downside was I wished I had more. Everything else we ordered was just as good. We had a couple plates of the Prik King, chicken which was served with fresh green beans. We also had Shrimp Pad Thai. All of the food we had was delicious, even the soup (with baby bok choy, I believe) and salad that came with lunch were good. We also tried the crispy egg rolls, which came out hot and perfectly crisp. Everyone kept saying that they wanted to come back again to do a working lunch! Overall, this was a fantastic working lunch spot! I would absolutely come back, especially for that orange chicken! If you come in the afternoon arrive early, we noticed that the restaurant started to get busy around noon.

Usually you see those little baby ones. There was a mix of raw and cooked shrimp. While we were waiting for our food we watched them making each dish and saw how much work they put into it all. I also love that they gave us a whole pack of tostadas. There were 4 of us but the food we got could've easily fed a couple more people. Would absolutely come here again. They also do large orders so this is a great spot for a party or gathering. Love supporting local businesses and looking forward to patronizing Fresco's again very soon.

Our sever and the manager both came by our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The kind of personal attention really made the experience even better. Cisco is located in nice, quiet area, and the decor has a really romantic feel. One thing I really liked was that the music was low enough for us to actually have a conversation without having to yell at each other.
