We came here before, but last night's experience was very poor. Hostess was colder than ice cube before seatting us, or when we walked by her leaving. By the way, it was pretty dead for dinner time(only 5 tables at most). Food was ok, but all of us had to hit the head half way. Only one waitress on our side, and she was so busy wiping and clearing dishes, she didn't refill our beverages until she was asked after she slipped the check to us when we weren't even done yet. It was less than an hour mind you. Also, charged full price even if there was a minor under 10 with us. Seriously considering not coming back. Just not feeling the love. read more

I wanted some seafood today was my first time going to this location especially since it's a grand opening. This service was great. The food is delicious I want to go back at dinner time so I can actually get some crab. The price was good for it to be a Buffet of everything you think you wanna eat. The ambience was very inviting clean. The restrooms were clean and the tables were clean and they had an " A" rating that makes a person wanna go back so thank you. read more

Flaming Buffet - Just a little bit of everything and it was good - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

I'm Chinese, moved here from San Gabriel/hacienda heights area. Compared to the begets in that area; I was impressed and surprised at how nice it is and the food does not disappoint. It was not overly greasy, nor overly salty. Good variety and lots of healthy choices. Love the veggie selection! The carpet is CLEAN!!! The tables are clean!!! The decor are not dusty. I hope it stays this way. $14.99 per person on the weekday lunch is a fantastic price!!! Service was great too! My picky daughter loved it!! read more

This is the worst food I've ever had in my life. Took one bite and was insanely grossed out. The atmosphere was decent it's a buffet but was smelly. The waitress were kinda rude and the manager was extremely rude when we confronted them about not wanting to pay for food that was HORRIBLE. I will literally never eat here again I'm writing this in the parking lot because if I can save even one person from this nasty experience I want too. Should have read the reviews because this was a mistake and I'm hungry still and mad. STAY AWAY. read more

Maybe I'm not enough of a seafood lover to get my moneys worth here but I expected better for $25 with tax. The cream cheese wontons were crusty at the top. Sitting too long under the lamps. The fried shrimp, same thing. I didn't think the sushi roll pieces were fresh enough either. I did like the pepper chicken, broccoli beef and a couple other items that I think were more recently made. The seafood soup was pretty decent. Don't know that I really found any seafood in it though. Mostly tofu it seemed like. None of the deserts I sampled had much flavor. Overall, pretty disappointing. It was a Wednesday evening so they weren't very busy. Bottom line for me, I won't be back. read more

First, let me start with letting you yelp reviewers know that I've came here a total of 3-4 times now since they've opened this location. The first time i walked in during lunch and i was a bit disappointed with being charged for "dinner" price since it was about 5-10mins prior to dinner. We told the lady up front that it was for lunch, but she said, "it's almost dinner". I wish they would honor the rates listed on the time you arrive, but we were starving so we decided to stay and give this place a try and i'm so glad i did, but it was bumpy before it got better. At first i filled up 2 plates, and not 1 item was fresh or flavorful and most if not all was tossed with our server on this first visit. All the dinner items were still not out and somehow we started to feel like it was unfair to have to pay for this "stale old tasting food" that was still lingering from lunch. I was starting to get upset, and almost decided to leave. Once dinner food was brought out, we loved every bit of it(other than the remaining lunch items)! So long story short, we love this place!!! Once the dinner items came out trust and believe it was a true game changer!! I saw a few staff members on their breaks also eating some of the delicious fried crab legs and one of them was even thoughtful enough to bring me a crab leg cracker after seeing me struggle a bit, which i was truly so thankful for. Lol Their sushi is also pretty good too, well for a buffet, trust me, it was good! Ever since then i've become a regular now, but learned quickly that i will never be coming here for lunch, because it could be a hit or miss with it being slow and food just sitting there for hours. I then decided to come here on Valentine's Day (yeah, that's how much i LOVE this place) and encountered a bit of an issue with something found inside my food, so i asked to speak to the manager in regards to the issue. Without hesitation the owner took care of us!!! This wasn't anything out of the norm and it happens, but i did feel the need to speak to management about this especially with it being a date night type of night, and of course left me not getting a chance to eat this item at all that visit, but regardless i still had many other options to eat that i love coming here for. I couldn't tell you enough how much i love this place regardless of the small hiccups i've had so far. Trust me, the food is GOOD(Dinner Time & especially on the weekend)!!! The sushi, sashimi, baby octopus(wish they always had this item available for dinner), crab legs, snow crab, dessert section is decent, and the cook to order steak is my go to here! Seriously, give this place a try if you're in the area. I used to go to Hibachi on Magnolia and Tyler, but this place tops it any day if you're in Riverside/Corona area. The staff has always been so attentive, and friendly here as of now, and that alone is hard to find these days!!! If you know, you know what i mean about this. Flaming Buffet Team, keep up the great work! I can't thank everyone and management enough at this location for going above and beyond for your paying customers and making things right when needed without any hesitation, within reason of course. Not only does this speak volumes in my book, but it sure as hell and gives me more reason to refer more friends and family here!!! I seriously can't wait to come back(Well, i'm trying to diet now... but we all know how that can go LOL), haha! Thank you Flaming Buffet team!!! read more

I was so excited to see this place open! When my granddaughter and I saw that it was opened... we got the family together, and we all went. We had a mixture of thoughts. My husband does not eat fish... he would have like more meat choices. My sister didn't care for the food at all. My granddaughter and I LOVED it! I do wish they had m more sushi choices. I tried kimchi for the first time... LOVED IT! We will come again. Tge service was good. Everyone there was friendly, and we didn't feel rushed at all. read more

I would give a 3.5 star if I could. We (2 people) came here Sunday 2/19/2023 @ around 12:15 pm. $22.99 for weekend all day (dinner price during the week). We were seated immediately and gave our drink orders. I tried: The hibachi grill: ok I added onion, mushroom, Ribeye Steak(already seasoned with pepper), and minced garlic and handed it to the cook. I asked for medium rare. The steak was thin so it ended up being cooked all the way. The meat looked a bit grey. I don't think the grill was high enough for a good sear. The onion and mushroom carried the flavor. I went a second round and did sliced beef, onion, mushroom, corn and minced garlic. I asked for soy sauce and they added it when it was done cooking. I couldn't taste too much flavor. The corn tasted off to me. I am used to it tasting a bit sweet. I ended up adding some of a sugar packet, pepper and soy sauce to add more flavor. Perhaps I can try adding teriyaki sauce at the grill for better flavor. Baked shells with cheese: ok Red velvet mini donut: ok Orange cake: ok Ice cream in freezer: good Sushi: not good Kbbq meat: not good Beef broccoli: good Walnut shrimp: good but no walnuts Seaweed salad: good Pepper chicken: good Fried cheese wonton: good Service: great, they picked up our empty plates and refilled our drinks at reasonable times and frequency. I know they just opened, so I might try it again in the future. I did use a dinner coupon and it worked. read more

This buffet is definitely a lot better than most buffets I've tried. They offer a variety of dishes at a fair price! I would recommend doing dinner only as they usually offer more fresh dishes since it's busier. They have hot dishes, desserts and fruits in the main area and along the wall, there's the grill station, sushi and seafood! They do have crab legs and surprising conch as well since I do not see many buffets offering that. The crab legs were bit on the saltier side.. wish they offered WARM butter for dipping which would've helped. I usually bring my own dipping sauces since most don't offer any. They also have ice cream cups that are stored in the freezer near the sushi and seafood station! This location doesn't offer the ice cream machine or buckets which I prefer since it's definitely less messy!! read more

Place was clean, good price, lots of food to choose from if your not picky, clean serving spoons/area. Food was amazing went today 01/16 6:00PM place was full, staff was friendly and kind, kept coming back to table to refill our drinks & ask if we needed anything. We didn't have high expectations since there's so many negative reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. Variety for adventurous foodies. Don't forget to stop by the grill and make your own Mongolian stir fry, there's chicken, shrimp, steak and decent amount of veggies. We almost didn't go after reading the reviews but we're glad we went to try it ourselves. Some of our favorites were the shrimp boil, sushi, Mongolian, and fruit. Our only recommendation to the place would be to add names/label their dishes. read more

See all

Food are variable, but not taste fresh, its fair for the price and clean, the all you can eat concept its worth it

Food is meh. But it's ok for the price. Where else can you get AYCE for this much nowadays? We were going to GEN KBBQ but my daughter saw this and suggested to check it out. We got all excited... it's our first time here and we love Asian food... Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese... you name it! When we found out how much it was for lunch buffet we couldn't believe how cheap it was but it did say "Grand Opening" so I thought that would be the "Intro" price. Well, I can tell you that if they raised the price I'm def not coming back... well, I'm prolly not coming back anyway... 50/50 really. I'll start with what I like about this place. Nice location. It's clean. The wait staff are nice, friendly, and attentive. And I love the chocolate ice cream! I'm nothing close to a food critic. I just enjoy my food and it would be nice if I really do get to enjoy it instead of being disappointed. I don't mind paying for good food. Nothing is cheap nowadays. Anyways, most of the food I tried are either too dry (maybe overcooked) or too salty. I usually start with Crab Rangoon. They used really thick wonton wrapper. And it doesn't taste good. The fried chicken wings tasted like it was fried in old oil. It wasn't just the taste but the smell and it's a little bit over cooked. I love honey chicken so I had some. It tasted fine but I think they cut it too small so it seemed overcooked and dry and chewy. The beef broccoli was salty. The coconut chicken was pretty good but a little bit dry .The shrimp was ok. The Chinese broccoli seemed to have an after taste. The green beans is over cooked. I love their fries. The pork wonton is pretty good. I tasted not of what they had but I don't remember the names of the dishes. All in all it's just ok. read more

The food here was bland. Eating the desserts bent my spoon. My fortune cookie was awful. The crab legs were okay, but nothing to die for. Best part of the place was my super syrup Pepsi. Mmmm flavor. read more

My family and I were looking for all you can eat and we didn't want to travel far. We wanted to try this place and this was our first time. Came on a Thurs evening and not much people for the evening. They have lots of variety of food and we were very surprised. It was good food and decent amount. The price isn't that bad either $22.99 adult dinner and child price $12. Drinks are separate. The place needs some update but it's ok we came here for food. My family had a great time and enjoyed the meal. We will come back again. read more

Went here expecting buffet food... Was pleasantly surprised there's actually decent quality food, and a hibachi grill included in the price. Local to me, and participates in the Southwest Rapid Rewards Dining, I will definitely be a frequent visitor here. read more

Not much variation to choose. The food taste way too salty. Shrimp crab, and etc. After eating the food, my throat felt so dry and thirsty. Never going back read more

A lot of the foods are very similar if you want to compare. The inside is very pretty they did do a lot of changing in the design. Definitely give this place a try especially since it's a ayce lol read more

Despite the weird review below about kids running around, this newly opened buffet has great food. The service was attentive and wait staff was always around to take plates and ask if we're doing ok. Since this establishment is still fairly new I'm sure more selections of food are to come. The ambiance is very similar to the previous establishment. Warm, kind and make a great place to come to during a rainy Sunday evening. Hopefully this restaurant will offer more seafood option and I will definitely be back to review. read more

Flaming Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Corona, California

My family and i love this place. A lot of seafood / asian food buffet's have similar food items, so it really comes down to the taste of the food as well as price. It doesn't get much better than this. We've been here a few times and we can't wait to go back. I especially love the grill that makes beef / chicken or seafood for you fresh if you give it to them. Really nice combination. read more

Overall the food was pretty good. Good variety. Seafood was tasty; different shrimp meals. Orange chicken was not overly sweet; beef and broccoli was cooked nicely. Noodles. Different soups. Wings. Salads. Fruit. Also had nuggets, fries and pizza. The pastries were bland, limited options. The hibachi grill options were broad. Beef, chicken, shrimp. Different veggies. The young man behind the counter was not friendly, he ignored me the first time, even after we made eye contact and I said hi. I had to call him from other side of counter and even then he had an annoyed demeanor. Overall, the family enjoyed the menu. Since we visited during a weekday, it was not crowded. Place was clean. I thought I'd pay when we first arrived, but it was at the end. I noticed they didn't give me a breakdown. But prices are reasonable for amount of food and variety. read more

It is one of the dirtiest and dirtiest places to eat at all. Every time we make a mistake we come back again and every time we find hair in the food. One time we found hair in the sushi and the other time in the rice. It is extremely disgusting. I do not recommend going there at all. read more

Food was okay, but many dishes were barely warm, or entirely cold. Service was very good, and the ambience was fair. Hot food would have raised the star level to 4. read more

It was good I like the stirfry. The cook was good. The servers were friendly, and the place was clean.

Having tried other Asian buffets in the area, this is by far my favorite. Lots of choices and really good food. The place is tidy and the price is insane. The crab legs were my favorite.....but everyone found lots to enjoy. read more

Great food and service. Fresh n worth the money. I would go back. No wait during the week. But weekends is a different story.

We went on a Sunday for dinner. There were 7 of us. It was crowded. We had to wait a good 25 minutes to get a table. Food were decent, we were surprised to see many people seemed enjoying their food selection. We had eaten in a much more food choices and better tasting. This is a good choice to eat when your group can't decide what type of food to eat. read more

Honestly place was clean. The staff seemed very attentive and polite. Everything seemed well maintained and cared for. The muscles were delicious. Normal buffet quality food. read more

Food was decent for a buffet. They had peking duck and dimsum style chicken feet which was my favorite. Not bad for the price as well

Giving 4 stars to any buffet is a true compliment from me. For a $14.99 lunch price, I was the tiniest bit skeptical but Flaming Buffet passed with flying Asian colors! As my party of 8 was being seated, the gentleman asked if there were any "seniors" in our party. My folks are both 90 so he was obviously being very polite which I appreciated (10% discount). There were many shrimp dishes. Coconut shrimp, battered& fried, salt & pepper, chop suey & more. All the chicken dishes were good too. Desserts were delicious especially the ice cream in individual packaged cups. Drinks are an extra $2.99. read more

Came on a Sunday for dinner and honestly was disappointing. The food was bland and tasteless, the crab legs are cold and no butter or tools to open them. The noodles were not good and sushi tasted weird. They have a lot of the same stuff just in different flavors . The "new York" steak is a flat piece of meat that also has no taste , the desserts were dry , and the fruit was super sour . Overall not good and won't be coming back . read more

Variety in evening extensive. Of course, the level of quality not the same as top drawer. But, very good level for buffet. Mounds of snow crab read more

Most painful food poisoning I've ever experienced in my life! Mind you I am not allergic to any type of sea food I've had some crab here and other types of sea food came home completely hurting in my stomach. I had been like this for a week and my digestive system was completely terrible. I hope no one has to experience this in their life time. There is a reason why it's so cheap read more

Arrived at 3:10PM apparently don't get here at this time because you will only have 20 minutes of the Lunch hour. If you happen to get up and get some more food past 3:30PM you will be charged the Dinner Price.... Even if it's not disclosed prior to your being seated. read more

Great food and certainly for a buffet all you can eat New York Steak and Shrimp that's a real treat to say the least. The Buffet is great and very good comfort to dine here. read more

The food below normal... Not much changed with the new ownership. However since it is all you can eat Buffet. The waiter was so obvious to watch every meal we bring to the table and to make a comment about it. Was not friendly. Person behind the sushi bar did not speak English. We have hard time understanding him. Will not recommend read more

Flaming buffet was a great surprise. They offer more items than I can mentioned on this review. The variety of offerings was great. The service was also impressive. Two price points lunch and dinner, check before you go. Will be back to this location very soon. read more

The service was fine but their advertising definitely didn't match the food quality. They claimed to have crab legs but in reality the crabs they had could fit their entire body in the palm of my hand. And I have small hands! The new yoelrk strip steak was also not up to par with what it should've been. read more
