    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!

    A fly in my drink

    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

    My family (me, my wife and my son) are so saddened to find out that Rakki Sushi ended up closing…read morewhen we wanted to go a few months ago. Rakki Sushi had the best ratio of fish to rice. We stumbled upon Rakki when we first moved to Chino Hills in 2023, and took a break from coming when our son was in the oven. It was definitely our go to Sushi spot when we had the energy to make it out there. We loved the various choices of nigiri, sushi rolls and even the appetizers. Shortly before they closed, the owner even gave us a complimentary yellowtail collar which was absolutely delicious, amazingly flavorful and super juicy (we never ordered this previously, since we always went with the AYCE option). The AYCE was very reasonably priced for what you got, and could be considered on the very cheap end, for quality of the food you got and options available. Rakki Sushi got high praises from our foodie friends who would visit us as well. The chef and staff were always super nice, they always came to check on how we were doing when they weren't too overwhelmed with the busyness, and we loved how super friendly they were. Our son loved the staff as well, and he always gave them smiles back in response to theirs. The ambience was more of a local/casual sushi spot, rather than somewhere fancy, which my wife and I greatly enjoyed since we like dressing comfortably in just t-shirts and joggers. The tables, seats, and utensils were always clean when we went there. The men's restroom wasn't the cleanest looking, but given the location it was understandable. Plus, we were there for the food, and not really to strictly use the restroom. We greatly miss you Rakki Sushi and hope you are able to come back one day!

    I read some of the reviews that this is one of the best AYCE sushi places and I've been wanting to…read moretry it. The place didn't look like much from the outside -- a little run down in an older strip mall. But you can't judge a restaurant from the facade. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I've ever had -- it's not. But for an AYCE place -- wow, it's pretty good. My previous favorite place was tomikawa in Irvine, but this place might be better. All the sushi we had was pretty fresh. And the other stuff we had such as jalapeno poppers and gyoza were very flavorful and tasty. The baked scallop could have been a little less runny, but the flavor was very good. The pieces of sushi are all very small -- I provide a picture with my index finger for perspective. Since the place is AYCE, this isn't a diss... Just something you should know. So if you think you want 4 large pieces of sushi, you might order 6 or even 8 here. In a way, I actually liked the smaller pieces, as they're easier to pop in your mouth and chew, and you can easily order a lot of different kinds to try without worrying that you can't finish all of them. The only thing missing is udon or ramen. I like to finish off a meal with a little warm noodles, and that's a notable miss. I'm not sure it's totally worth a deliberate trip from Irvine ... But we're definitely going to stop by any time we're in the area.

What really blew us away right off the bat was the massive menu. Sometimes all-you-can-eat spots skimp on the options, but this place has an incredible variety of rolls, appetizers, and fresh cuts to choose from, making it hard to decide where to start. The food itself absolutely lived up to the hype. Doing all-you-can-eat sushi can sometimes be a gamble, but the quality and freshness here are top tier. Every roll we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, with perfect fish-to-rice ratios. We tried so many different things from their huge selection, and not a single dish disappointed us. It is clear they care about the ingredients they are serving. The absolute highlight of our night, though, was the phenomenal service we received from our waiter, Cole. He was absolutely amazing, super attentive, and incredibly friendly from start to finish. Good service can really make or break an all-you-can-eat experience, and Cole went above and beyond to make sure our orders came out fast and our table was taken care of. We are already planning our next trip back and will definitely be asking to sit in his section!

This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that.
