The Quality of the food here is great, lots of selections from seafood stirred fried to cold seafood, and also the Stirred fried dishes are great, too. The Price is very reasonable for the quality of the food. Service from waiters and waitresses are super nice for a buffet in my opinion, because I have been to other buffets, and service was ok. I will definately be coming back soon read more

if I could give zero stars I would !! This place is so dirty. We were guided to our table, was dirty. When I asked this girl for a rag so I could wipe down the table she ignored me. I had to walk to the front and ask someone else. Then the same girl came to take our drink orders and was so rude. Again I digressed and we proceeded to get our food. Everything looks like it's been sitting there for hours. Food is cold No flavor and for sure will get you sick, only thing I'll say that was good in that buffet line is the FRUIT ONLY!!! Please do not come here and waste your money like we did Spent over $200 for us to leave hungry When we tried to talk to a manager they completely disregarded our complaints Which is fine we left Never coming to this establishment again !! read more

​I decided to visit this location because the prices and menu listed online looked great. However, the experience didn't match the expectations set by their website. ​The Issues: ​Misleading Pricing: The online prices are completely outdated. Upon finishing our meal, we discovered the buffet is actually $35 per person (excluding drinks)--nearly double the price advertised online. It is incredibly frustrating to be "surprised" by the bill after a meal. ​Service: While we were seated quickly, the attentiveness dropped off immediately. Trying to get a simple refill was nearly impossible during our entire visit. ​Recommendation to Management: Please update your online platform to reflect your current pricing so customers aren't caught off guard. Additionally, your staff needs to be more attentive to diners once they are seated. I would love to give a 5-star rating because the food itself was enjoyable, but the lack of transparency and service makes it hard to recommend right now. read more

Flaming Buffet is an Asian AYCE that attempts to be everything to everyone but in the process not be great in anything. They have Chinese, sushi, hot pot, Mongolian, seafood and dessert. None of it I found that enjoyable. On a busy weekend evening, the place was a little chaotic, uneven in quality, and not tidy. But the staff was diligent in doing best but it's hard to do when the restaurant is packed. We went due to a 10% off coupon. It's a good deal considering the variety of choices. But don't expect to be wowed by anything, except maybe how stuffed you feel. read more

Flaming Buffet - Free hot pot - Seafood Near Me - Fullerton, California

Staff is friendly. Food is fresh. Place is clean. This ACE place is one of the best sea food buffets. They have great options for everyone from sea food, meat, noodles, salad, and sides... plus always fully stocked. Especially during the weekends where they have oysters, crab legs, and steak for their mongolian barbecue. Lily and Mia are so friendly and attentive, and no matter how busy, they check on us our table regularly... and all smiles. read more

Met Lily so nice & was our waitress too! She brought out our drinks requested only water since warm weather for these Easter Sunday. First time trying this restaurant on a Holiday since Easter Sunday. Unbelievable didn't double or triple price what other restaurant reason its a Holiday. They kept there same regular price. ALL the FOOD was Delicious prepared season perfectly and top of all even the kiddies will enjoy. Have chicken nuggets, pizza, etc. And LOVED there rice noodle we call it Pansit. Looks pale but when I taste was so good. Ate 2 plate full, didn't eat any rice with different dishes just my rice noodle. Shout out to All the Chef's & line cooks who prepared all these dishes. ALL was so DELICIOUS!) Highly recommend & will be back when visiting our son or special occasions. Or just CRAVING there YUMMY dishes. Thanks again Lily you made our Easter Sunday Special read more

Good variety was decent but the hot pot selection was very lacking & kept running out of meats. -1 Crab legs were very skinny & did not taste good at all. -1 Restrooms were dirty. -1 Service: very slow to seating people & help was no where when we needed them. -1 Tip: check in on any social media accounts & you get a free hot pot at your table. Pot is very small compared to picture that's advertised. Overall: Just a meh experience not to repeat again. read more

Korean buffet with special deal limited time, free hot pot with wagyu beef, mutton, raw oyster, frog legs, seafood ect. I picked the Korean tofu broth, similar to Japanese miso soup, very tasty. For the price, flaming is a very good value with the freshest food among all Asian buffets. Highly recommended. read more

Service was excellent, the variety of foods was pretty good. I just wish that foods that have been sitting get cycled out. We were seated further away from the buffet area, but the staff did well making their rounds over to us. I feel like their ROI foods don't hit that well, Crawfish sat to long, it was kinda gross still edible just had to toss more then half. Crab legs came out kinda late for me ( I just miss the timing) read more

This place is not bad to get your asian buffet cravings fix or if you plan to eat a lot. There's lots of parking since it is inside a plaza, but if you want to park close to the buffet, it is a little difficult since not far away, it shares the parking lot with the korean burger place that open up recently. The place is big enough to have big groups of people and they even have a party room as well. Service was quick. Now to the good part, for a weekend, the price is reasonable for about $25. You get mongolian grill that have short ribs and steak, dim sum, sushi (and sashimi), seafood, and dessert bar. They have great options, but some of the quality is not that good or it is okay, thus the loss of a star. Highly recommend getting the short ribs and enjoy their seafood options! read more

This was my first time coming to this buffet spot. The first thing I step into this place is how they have a variety of food bar going from fried food, habachi, fruits, seafood, ice cream, soup, and more. Today, I got a few plates on seafood. The crab legs were decent lots of juice & not much flavor had to use lemon, salt, and pepper to dip the crab meat. There were some part of crab leg that was soft. The clams were good & decent & great flavor. The crawfish was decent as well. I tried the meat and it was great flavor and delicious. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is plenty of parking. I would only come here if I'm near the Fullerton area. read more

Not a bad Asian buffet for the price and food! Parking was not bad but not good, the way the coffee place with their cones in the way and drive thru line for lotteria are nearby makes it seem like a mission to navigate... so we parked a bit far and just walked over. I was a bit hesitant at first since most Asian buffets started going down on quality and not much in keeping their food up to par such as replenishments. We came for a Sunday lunch so not too crowded but decent amount of people. Staff were very helpful, cleaned up and refilled our drinks in a timely manner. The place had plenty of seating and since the seating area surrounded the food area it was easy to navigate in and out. I'd like to point out some good food items I got which were the fried chicken wings (crispy and juicy when fresh), chicken feet (dimsum style and I love the flavor), crab heads (fried and lots of inners to eat), roasted duck (actually really good and plenty), baked mussels (creamy), and hibachi style grill (tried the meats only and it was delicious). Ice cream are in cup containers which is easy to grab, I'm not a fan of self serve scoops since most of the time they aren't very clean. Sushi was ok, rice had a bit more vinegar, but the raw fish my family said was good. They also liked the watermelon which they said was very sweet and crisp. They also liked the sweet potato's which were baked in foil and ready to grab near the grill. I did try some things I probably won't get again which was the shuimai (small and unusual taste), orange chicken (soggy and sour), coconut shrimp (ok but shrimp was tough), clams (a bit fishy), and spare ribs (tough and dry). Restrooms are gendered and have enough of stalls compared to other buffets which usually have 2-3. They were pretty clean and kept well when we went. Overall with the price of $120 total for an adult and 3 seniors plus drinks, it was pretty worth it! read more

Food: typical chinese american cuisine. Plenty of choices if your family don't know where to eat. So many selection, from seafood to mongolian style noodle. Price: well priced for what you get. Service: quick to seat you. Ambiance; fair with ckeanliness. Parking; can be tricky depending on what day and time you come. But worst case scenario, a nice walk a little further away can help you with your daily steps and you're sure to find parking. read more

Pleasantly surprised across the board! I've passed by flaming buffet and looked at their Yelp page a few times before actually visiting, didn't expect much but, for less than $20 for lunch, this place is a hidden gem! Nowadays, just because you're going to a buffet doesn't mean you're getting value. Flaming buffet hit the mark with price, selection, and overall taste of food! Service was prompt when cleaning dishes, the ambience is straight forward, no frills but clean (that's really all that matters) and it wasn't too loud which always provides for a more enjoyable meal Will be back!! read more

Flaming Buffet - Everything was freshly made! - Seafood Near Me - Fullerton, California

They walk a thin line between the food being inedible and edible. I really dislike places like this, but my parents really wanted to go. We went during dinner time and paid the premium. They skimp on premium options of course, food is barely there I was scared to even try some of the dishes, not that many premium options really - they didn't refill my coke but charged me $2.99 for it.... The one thing I mist say is that they were nice - at least they tried to be nice and they did their best to keep the table clean. For that I will give two stars. Pay the same amount for a decent meal somewhere else - unless you just like these types of places read more

TLDR: It's $20 for a dinner buffet on the weekday that comes with a Mongolian station and seafood options. 3.5 stars that I rounded up to 4 because Yelp doesn't do half stars. If you want a boatload of food but don't want to spend too much, this is the place. Food: It's alright. You get a bunch of options that are more than what most restaurants that charge $13-16 per order will give you. I think I covered a good amount of food that they had, and I couldn't find a bad option. Nothing was amazing per se, but enough good things were there to find a guilty pleasure reason to come back. The Mongolian station is a godsend as it provides a more "quality" feel to the establishment, as it makes freshly made food that offers a more dynamic flavor palette. Ice cream was a good way to close the meal. Service: You only interact with the staff when looking for a seat, paying, and the one dude in the Mongolian station. You see the person clearing plates from tables, but I think it's amazing that he clears the plates when I'm not at my table. Overall, everyone was professional, and I'm not complaining about it. Ambiance: It's a sizable location that is maintained well. You get a lot of walking space, and the tables are a good size. I'm slightly worried, though if it's a full house because the buffet area might get overwhelmed. read more

Flaming Buffet - Vanilla Ice Cream - Seafood Near Me - Fullerton, California

This was just an okay experience. For about $25 per person on a weekend, you get unlimited servings of sushi, raw seafood (oysters!), cooked seafood (clams, mussels, crab legs, etc), Chinese fast food (orange chicken, fried rice, chow mein, etc), fruits (including rambutan!), soups, Mongolian beef stir-fry, and desserts like mango pudding. There's even slices of pizza too. Truly, anything and everything Asian is here, plus some other universally liked dishes like pizza and ice cream here. For the range of food and how friendly and responsive the staff is to clearing tables, it's a great deal. For the actual quality of the food itself, it was not great. Of all the things I tried, here are some more noteworthy items. - Seafood Asian soup - Orange chicken if fresh was ok but still had a bit of an artificial syrupy taste - Mongolian beef stir-fry was a hit with everyone in the restaurant. You pick the items and the staff will stir fry it fresh for you! - Oysters were giant and a great deal if that's your thing! Try to pick the fresher ones. - Cooked seafood was good too. What I didn't care for: - Sushi rolls and sashimi were all mid to me. - Sweet and sour soup tasted very icky. Most items were a mediocre 3/5. I don't see myself coming back here. Parking was easy, lots of parking spaces in the lot. read more

I won't ever eat at this place again I have very sensitive health issues and this restaurant decided to not check their moldy disgusting cups pray for me to be okay because if my child would have drank from this moldy cup nugh ugh.

There was a wide variety of food items but I would recommend the Mongolian section where they cook your choice of meats, vegetables, and seasonings. I prefer the shrimp stir fried. Service was good as the waiters took away plates as soon as we got up for more servings. The restaurant has typical Chinese buffet vibes. No fine dining ambiance here! For $25 weekend price, it's comparable to others. The parking was a bit of a challenge because it's shared by adjacent businesses. Had to drive around 3 times to find a spot. read more

Food was good, sushi not a lot to offer. Drinks are not included as web states they are! We probably won't go there again as there are much better places for sushi. Service was ok. Ambiance: bathrooms & service area nice & clean! read more

Really excellent food good out of all seafood places I go to this one I would go for the crab legs you're the only one that provides large

This place is great for what it is! Solid buffet with multiple choices. PARKING & LOCATION // It's located in a pretty large plaza with plentiful parking. It's a little complicated getting in and out of this specific corner restaurant but you can't miss it and the sign is huge. The inside of the restaurant is large with multiple rooms for seating. AMBIANCE // It's quite loud but spacious. You don't feel cramped at all. It feels very much like a classic buffet with multiple choices but everything feels spaced out. Service is quick to grab your plates or anything else you may need! FOOD // The food was surprisingly decent! There aren't too many seafood options (crab legs) but still enough to make it feel worth it. I would say the price is definitely worth it. OVERALL // 4 stars This buffet is priced on the lower end so I didn't expect them to be top tier but overall, I've been here twice and I would come back. read more

Food: 4* Service: 3* Ambiance: 4* Solid food offerings, great variety on Saturday and Sundays. Wide selection of seafood items, mostly cooked. Good sushi (maki) selections, great to see tuna and salmon sashimi. The Mongolian BBQ food as great. We asked for garlic and spicy sauce and it was great. The have seasoned steak, beef slices, chicken slices, shrimp, and beef short ribs (kalbi) plus vegetables. The guys were very friendly and efficient who cooked the BBQ. I would return for the sashimi and Mongolian BBQ alone. Good deal at $25 per person including tax. read more

First off, when it comes to all you can eat buffets, I immediately manage expectations. I recognize that the food may not necessarily be the freshest as its been under a heat lamp for some amount of time, and that for the most part, not every dish is going to be a hit. When you walk in with these expectations, you'll be surprised at what an all you can eat buffet can give you. So, when my friends and I walked into the place because they mailed me a 10% off coupon for dinner (and who doesn't love saving a bit of money!?) I walked in not expecting much. However, Flaming Buffet is one of the places that actually surprised me quite a bit. For one, as I was being led to my table, I passed by an island that contained sections of raw seafood filled on top of ice. Admittedly, I was quite impressed upon seeing this. This kind of thing is definitely something I have not seen at any Chinese buffet until now. Overall, for the most part, there were a good number of dishes that were actually pretty good! In particular, some of the most noteworthy include: - Fried small crabs, which was seasoned very well. This was my favorite dish of the night, I came back twice to get this specific dish - Steamed crab legs on top of the ice I walked past when I entered - Orange chicken, you honestly can't beat that, period! - Mini bundt cakes for dessert. I got chocolate and red velvet. Although they were a bit dry, they tasted pretty good, and I've never seen mini bundt cakes at a Chinese buffet before Honestly, for an all you can eat Chinese buffet at roughly ~$30 per person including tax and tip, given what this specific place offers, I would definitely come back again! I think that their offerings are surprisingly unique for other similar places in the area and for the most part, things tended to be hit for me. On a final note, they recently started offering a hotpot addition for $10 per person. I personally would not go for it, just because having the buffet and hotpot options may get a bit overwhelming. There is already enough to feed yourselves with just the buffet options, and truthfully, if I want hotpot, I would either do it at home or go to an all you can eat hotpot place instead. read more

We passed by this place to go to the sushi restaurant next to it and notice their price on the window for around $20 something. The wait was too long and the price deal expired at the sushi restaurant so we turned around and went to this place. This place is huge with three spacious seating areas and well lit. The food was great and so was the customer service. Everything was great until I used the bathroom. It had a slight plumbing odor so wait until you're done with your meal or it will spoil your entire experience. This place has good food and price so I recommend going here. read more

Let's do the good part first!! i got really lucky by arriving early at this all-you-can-eat buffet! The place was clean and fresh, and I was thrilled with how quickly the food was served. By 12:00, it was a full house, but I managed to enjoy a great meal before the rush hit. My favorite part was the BBQ Grill station, which was definitely worth the wait in line! The servers were incredibly friendly, smiling and making rounds to check on diners and clear plates. As a former server myself, I appreciate their efforts--they were truly doing their best to keep everything running smoothly. The restaurant is quite spacious, with two sides to accommodate guests. If it gets too busy and you need something, don't hesitate to walk up to the kitchen; you'll be getting food anyway! Plus, all the utensils and condiments are conveniently available on the table. the host at the door with curly hair: I wanted to share my experience regarding the host at the front door. While the rest of my visit was great, I found the gentleman with curly hair to be somewhat rude. When I said "thank you" in Chinese, he mocked me, which was really disappointing. I was having a good day, but his attitude put a damper on it. I wanted to kindly suggest that he reconsider how he interacts with guests because it can really impact the overall experience, don't be fake. Minus one star for the staff in front ATTITUDE. Overall i highly recommend this place! read more

Theres not too much to say about this place but this is not bad for a buffet. The selection was fairly standard but still tasty for the item that i chose.

Came here on a Sunday night around 7:30pm. We got seated immediately. This place is HUGE. Also, you eat first then pay instead of pay then eat, unlike other buffet restaurants.

I like the Mongolian section had thinly-sliced beef short ribs which a lot of other buffets don't have. read more

I don't really write reviews but the visit impacted me enough for me to write one. Food was horrendous, meat was super hard and dry, seafood extremely bland with consistency of rubber.

First and last time eating here. I liked the fact it wasn't very busy. But then I figured out why. Food was not labeled properly. Some items had labels with the wrong food item listed. I've previously have worked in the hospitality business. This is not ok, especially for customers who have food allergies. Health inspect would not pass this. I got a plate with crab and I was told that's not included with lunch. There's no signs showing what's lunch or dinner. We gave it back. I thought the point of a buffet is that you can get anything that's there. I guess not. read more

Very little options for buffet and expensive. The only reason i give a 1 star is because of the hibachi grill it was flavorful compared to others. read more

I'll try to make this short and sweet. Food: I was actually impressed by a few of the items. The shrimp scampi and the honey shrimp we're really both quite delicious. Those were the two standouts for me. Service: as usual for a place like this, the staff was ready to grab your plates or refill your drinks immediately. Atmosphere: No Energy. No vibe. No hellos, no goodbyes. Maybe it's cultural I don't know. I didn't get the feeling anybody was happy to see us. read more

Arrived on a Saturday plenty of parking at the plaza. The lunch line wasn't long or crowded as they just opened. The price is affordable at $18.99 for dinner and weekends. We were seated at the middle of the restaurant at a non-booth table. They had a variety of drinks with refills for $2.59. The line for food wasn't long and quick to grab. The crab station and grill station were the stars at the beginning of the opening. The grill station was a longer wait since the grill can allocate a limited number of customers plate of food. My favorites were the Cajun shrimp and crab. The rest of the food was average taste and flavor or salty for my taste. Clearing of plate from the table was quick and efficient. Definitely worth coming to get your fill of crab and shrimp. Hopefully they can continue with their current quality of food. read more

For a buffet it's alright. I think the best thing was their fried fish but they barely have any and when they bring it out, everyone goes to get it so it runs out quickly. There's a roll station with no raw fish, everything was imitation crab. A lot of other buffets have sushi so go somewhere else if that's what you're looking for. A lot of their food was also mislabeled. read more

Flaming Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Fullerton, California

I have been wanting to try Flaming Buffet out but was skeptical seeing some bad reviews lately. But we were pleasantly surprised how good it was. I asked to see the buffet bar first because of the bad reviews. Foods actually look really good and fresh. Not sure what people are complaining about. I didn't try many dishes but had mainly the seafood: crab, shrimp (several kinds), clams, fried fish, and the veggies (cauliflower, asparagus, stir-fried button mushrooms, green beans, corn on the cob, etc. and everything that I had was super fresh and tasty. Much better than I expected. 5-star for all of those that we did try. I didn't try the raw fish (I never do from a buffet bar), nor the mongolian bbq bar so I can't comment on those. We had fresh fruit at the end for dessert and the watermelon was sweet and good. Cantaloupe was okay and honeydew was tasteless. There were some assorted pastries but I was too full to try. Overall, we were satisfied with their buffet. Service was just okay. But they were so busy and it's a buffet place, so we didn't expect much. We will definitely be back again. read more
