Variety of food was great, Chinese/Japanese/American/Mongolian beef/desserts. For the price, it was well worth it! Service was actually excellent, we were served fast with drinks, empty dishes were gone in seconds, it was a pleasant experience. Ambiance was not chaotic, which I really appreciated. read more

The food is so bland and lacked flavor. They are also understaffed with only one waiter for a huge section, so there was a long wait to get empty plates taken away and drink refills. They are slow to refill the food so there were a lot of empty trays at the buffet. The line for the mongolian grill is always long and moves ridiculously slow, which sucks cause that's a huge selling point of this buffet. I think I waited nearly half an hour for mediocre food. There are definitely better options in the area. read more

Food is amazing, especially their Mongolian BBQ, but their coupons are dangerously misleading. They do not honor lunch coupons on the weekends, even when there is no specifications printed regarding days or meal times. I hope they can figure this out with their advertising team, but until then, can't bring myself to say more. read more

We went for lunch at this place and was so satisfied... The place was cleaned and food was delicious...price is right...the special one was the Mongolian section and you won't be disappointed...we'll plan to come back for dinner soon... All and all my boyfriend and I give this place a dozen thumbs up read more

The food is very good very healthy at this establishment. I really liked it. Best Chinese food in all of California the staff are very friendly and polite in helping th guest.s.the restaurant is very clean . read more

The price is super reasonable. The service is sooooo excellent. I love sushi and sashimi there

This new buffet serve good foods with adequate prices. It becoming my choice of hosting large crowds. Every item is nicely prepared and tasted authentic. The food selections won't disappoint all sort of diners. read more

I'm so disappointed with this place it's my son's baptism yesterday and we booked 40 persons and they put us on the side with no AC just a fan and it's not working well. The area is so hot. And all my guest are sweating and uncomfortable. I cant believe it! read more

We have been waiting for this spot to open for a cooool minute. Turns out I should've just skipped the spot. The food selection just sucked! Don't get me wrong, The Flaming Buffet is the bomb, however this location pales in comparison to the ones I went to in the I.E. When I saw they were coming out here we got really excited . Oh yeah, some of the Asian staffs ability to understand and speak US English was quite poor, but they did their best. Oh well, nice try but it's a no for my family and I. read more

The food taste nothing and it's cold and the minion dumpling taste weird, service is good. I rather go somewhere else instead of there.

Don't believe those "1-star"reviews that complain of slippery floors, etc. Many restaurants have gone out of business during the last few Covid years. It takes a lot of risk and courage to open a restaurant, even more so with a Vegas-style buffet. I give 5 stars for having this buffet back that replaced the previous Top One buffet. Same location. They are very similar in terms of variety of food options, except with all new remodeled interior decor, which is a plus! There is plenty of different food options, more than enough for anyone to find things they like, or like to try: different dishes of chicken/wings, beef, fish/shrimp/seafood, sushi bar, salad bar, Asian soups, stir fries, fried plantains (one of my favorites), fruits, cakes, etc. For the current lunch price ($13.99/person for all-you-can-eat), it's very reasonable. Many restaurants charge much more than that just for "one" entree... In short, we have a Vegas-style buffet right here in Fullerton, without the Vegas prices, and without the 5 hours drive to Vegas! read more

Since buffets are relatively rare post COVID I understand why this place is so busy. It's very spacious and looked clean from the dining room. However, the food was somehow dry and mushy. I wouldn't go here again but it's very busy so it's possible I just picked my food poorly. read more

Super mid tasing food. Really bummed about this place. Ended up leaving after 15 minutes and getting sushi next door which was way better. Workers didn't speak English so when we told them we didn't enjoy the food they smiled and nodded and laughed. Place was clean but a madhouse of people. Update 4 days later: i ended up getting food poisoning from this spot so proceed with caution read more

A worker was wiping the sushi counter with a smelly towel and of course it stinks after wiping. She took the towel to replace various dishes. The towel smelled rotten. It was obvious they hadn't washed and dried it properly. I'm very concerned about the hygiene of the restaurant. read more

We drove by and saw that this buffet was finally opened, so decided to try it out. It was surprisingly really great. Our usual go-to buffet in the area is Asia Buffet in Buena Park, but this might be our new go-to. While it has slightly less items than some other Chinese-style buffets, every item is very well-cooked and high quality. The meats and seafood used in the dishes are fresh and flavorful and you can tell by the taste that it's of a better quality than what's used in some other buffets. Dishes also rotate fast here, so nothing's really sitting out or empty for too long. The restaurant itself is very clean and the service was friendly and very attentive. Good qualities for a new restaurant and hopefully they'll stay that way. It seemed to be really popular as well because it was packed and a line was out the door, even during the mid-afternoon when we finished eating. We'd highly recommend giving this place a try and we're certain we'll be coming back in the future. read more

I just went last Saturday for lunch, and it was okay experience. The servers were quick to get your drinks and check ready. There was a good amount of food at the buffet and I liked how it is so affordable for a buffet. I just ate only one plate, and I was already full. I would come back again to try it out. It is a great if you are going with big party and don't know what to eat because they have a variety of food. read more

One of the less appealing buffets I went to. Food was edible, but nothing was a standout or any good.

This is slightly above average for a Chinese buffet in the area when compared to the other better known ones. Based on all the 1* reviews about the food being bland, I expected to add salt or soy sauce or whatever sauces they had available, but I didn't even need to. It wasn't overly flavorful, but bland is a bit of an exaggeration. There was a good variety during lunch hours for different flavored chicken like orange, teriyaki, fried, buffalo?, and lots or stir fry vegetable options as well. In terms of seafood, I only noticed black bean sauce clams, shrimp, cold mussels, fake crab with cheese, and more shrimp. It is priced very well and if it was more expensive it might be difficult to justify going for the lunch items at least. For the American cuisine there were pizza, chicken nuggets, broccoli and cheese, and the other chicken flavors I previously mentioned. Service is cut and dry. They're hustling and bustling. We went at noon on Friday and was seated right away. An hour later, the restaurant was noticeably emptier. There were some different beverage flavors like horchata and pina colada that was nice to have. It's a nice restaurant, lots of staff continually keeping the food stocked and clean. I'll have to try again at dinner because those were the food items we were looking forward to enjoying more, but overall it's better good than bad. With the self serve individual ice cream cups and other dessert options, can definitely get our moneys worth on dessert alone. read more

Food is not the best. Either under cooled or over cooked. No in between. The place is always dirty, whether it's the floor or plates or utensils. Now the service. The service is down right horrible. Staff are rude. Also very confused. I'm sure the language barrier is hard but there has to be a better way. Lastly don't sit in the back by the bathroom as it really smells back there. read more

Flaming Buffet - Dirty utensils. - Seafood Near Me - Fullerton, California

Solo me gustó el sushi aparte de eso la carne muy dura y lo demás muy desabrido. Here's the translation: "I only liked the sushi; aside from that, the meat was very tough and the rest was very bland." read more

We went to try the Buffet and it was so delicious and great. They had a lot of different stuff to pick from and the staff was very nice. I would recommend this place and I will return back. read more

I would give this place a zero if I could. As soon as I walked in, the people at the front desk gave me and my friends judgmental looks. One of the staff members pointed us to a booth, and as soon as we sat down, a lady rudely said, "You were supposed to follow me," with an annoyed expression. Later, my friend asked one of the guys for a drink refill, and he made eye contact but ignored her. The food is terrible--everything was cold, the dessert area was a mess with cakes upside down and frosting everywhere, the fruit looked mushy like it had been out for a while, and the meat was weird and discolored. Another customer was also having issues with the staff and seating, and I noticed that the workers are rude to anyone who isn't Asian. I'll never come here again. It seems like the staff hate their jobs and lives. I mean, I'd be depressed working here too, with these ugly yellow lights and depressing-looking customers with kids who just sit and cry. DON'T EAT HERE!!!! read more

Food was great! Had some meat at the grilling station. Felt like i was at korean bbq but for cheap! Service was also great the people in the front are always so nice. They are sweet, it's sad to see other reviews complaining but i haven't ever had a problem with anyone. read more

I didn't expect too much for the food for $23.99 at Father's Day diner, and I didn't mind waiting an hour to be seated. But the young woman at front desk is not fit the position there. She is unfriendly and dishonest. She didn't call people in order, when I noticed that, then I asked her, she said she called our number but we didn't answer. She was lying! My husband was just waiting in front of the desk , also the beeper on his hand didn't sound at all. Then the young woman said the beeper didn't work, it is not her fault. Is it customer's fault for a bad restaurant beeper? The flaming buffet should change to a more efficient and reliable way to call customers. read more

Very nice and affordable. I recommend the broccoli and beef. Also there service was great. They sat us down in 25 minutes and it was around 5:30. read more

Not great, not bad. Some of the entrees were better than others. Would come back primarily because the fruit, chicken and beef dishes were decent. read more

The food selection was decent and the service was quite good. However, the ambiance is typical of inexpensive buffet places. You surely get what you pay for read more

One of the worst buffet I've ever went to! Everything is deep fried basically like their shrimps and the crab. Their meat selection, even the ribeye, was horrible and chewy. Their soup options were horrible. Their sashimi looks so unappetizing, like are they even trying? Service was horrible from the time we sat down. Hostess was so rude when trying to sit us and those ladies kept staring at us when we were leaving, not even a thanks? Only thing good here is dipping raw broccoli in ranch, and that says a lot. It's been 5 hours after I ate and me and my girlfriend both have heavy bubbly guts. If you like mediocre food with mediocre service, but cheap, come to this place. If you don't want to feel bad after eating, avoid! read more

I was really excited to try this place after getting the promotion in the mail. I used to come to the buffet that was here prior to it years ago and wanted to give the new place a chance. Don't bother, the food is extremely bland. The broccoli beef has almost zero flavor. The fried rice was kind of hard and also lacked any flavor. The best part of the buffet is the grill where you can make your own plate with a selection of meats. The desserts had almost zero flavor. Also the service was severely lacking, we asked for refills on our drinks several times and ended up having to get up and go find someone to get a refill. I'm pretty disappointed since I was hoping this place would be good because it's local but I'd rather drive farther for better buffets with better quality food. read more

It's just okay. Huge restaurant. Nice and clean. Foods are okay. Will come back again sometimes in future. read more

Food - little better than other buffet spots. Service/Staff - needs improvement. Reason for 3 star - they don't sell alcohol. read more

Come here expecting your average Asian buffet and it is good enough. I really like their sashimi and sushi selection. They have a Mongolian stir fry bar. Their decor reminds me of older buffets with the brown tables and open concept. Service was as expected for a buffet read more

Its just what it sounds like. Cheap chinese seafood... food quality really shows this and service isnt that good either... i wouldnt go back, especially never for the sushi. read more

The food was alright but not the best quality. The price is affordable though if you want something fast and keeps you full

Nice clean buffet being newer. Decent buffet food choices, some foods are fresh and some you can tell been left out for some time. The only thing I've noticed is the service not being the greatest. They didn't refill our drinks unless we asked and we had to flag them down to request refills. Got two refills and the third refill the lady jokingly said "no more refills" but you can tell she kind of meant it. She also was taking my mom's plate and told her "no more" insinuating for her not to get anymore food. (My mom is elderly and doesn't eat a lot) whether she's joking or not her demeanor showed she meant it. When we're ready to pay the same lady had the audacity to tell us to circle the tip amount we want to put, stared at us, waited and when she seen we put cash as a tip she acted like she was going around to put some dishes away but then circled back to see how much tip we left on the table. Dang lady if the service was great you wouldn't have to worry about your tip, that goes for the other guy server with glasses that was often on his phone who seemed like he had an issue refilling our drinks too! Provide better service and this place will be one of better Chinese buffet spots to go to. Two stars for the cleanliness and food. read more
