I like this place as there is no line if you go early and the price is reasonable. They have a variety of food and it's constantly being refilled. The only thing is the ice cream doesn't taste good, it's the single serve cups. Everything else taste pretty good and fresh and you will definitely be full. There is a line for the bbq grill section, so go there first! read more

Ambiance is busy and noisy...can't expect quite at a buffet. Service was on point. Ladies cleaned up our plates right away. Decent selection of food. Nice amount of different seafood and sushi. Kind of disappointed there was no squid. For $20 at dinner, not too bad. We'll be back ... read more

Great selection of items and amazing price for what it's worth. I have been waiting forever for another Chinese buffet to open and when it finally did, you know I had to stop by. They have all of your typical buffet food like the seafood, fried foods, some noodles and rice, and this place even had some sushi! My favorite was the sushi bar and the crawfish. The inside is just like any other buffet. Food are is laid out in the middle. It seems like a lot of items but it's also not that much. I think when I went the price was about $12-14 per person so it felt pretty worth it. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and I hear that on Wednesdays they have a largest/more expansive seafood selection. read more

Price has continued to increase over the past six months, from $21.99, $24.99, $26.99, to now $27.99. I used to like this place a lot. Higher weekend pricing is understandable, but this level of increase feels unreasonable. read more

For the price of the buffet, I am really happy for the quality. This place is huge and can cater to large parties for any occasion. When I came, there were many graduations being celebrated. It was very packed but the food was constantly being replaced for a new fresh batch so nothing was low or cold. Our waiter was very quick to clean our table and refill our drinks which was great, so we didn't have multiple dishes stacking up. For the food, I was quite bummed they didn't have king crab legs, but they did have another type of crab. The salmon sashimi was actually my favorite of the seafood. The star of the dinner was the mongolian hot grill! There's normally a line for it but trust me it's worth the wait. The meat selection was surprisingly good that it even had galbi. This part alone was already worth the price for the whole night! read more

I went here for the first time. Probably won't be back. I walked in with a bad knee (limping) Lady in charge of seating begins walking towards the very back. I asked if I was able to sit closer cuz I had a bad knee.there were plenty of seats available. But she just said No and left. Sushi was decent Shrimp was soggy from overheating Wings and coconut shrimp were good Flounder was alright Watermelon was not good lol They had a variety of items but I feel like I stuffed myself from Pepsi trying to wash away all the bad bites. $60 for 2 people didn't feel right when I left . So I probably won't be back. And they sat me all the way in the backkkkkkkk I give 2 stars just cuz the wings were good. I did see some kids touching the food and putting it back with their bare hands. No one there to say anything read more

Don't eat here! My boyfriend and i both got food poisoning and have been having a stomach bug for the past couple hours .

The restaurant can definitely be more clean, grabbing utensils had grease and finger prints all over super unsanitary. not worth my money, i feel so gross and cannot stop throwing up. read more

I have been wanting to try this place out since it opened. I called ahead to check if they had the fried crab before I brought my family. Parking: lots of competition in the parking lot area. Fortunately, there is plenty of people leaving. The wait: we came on a Sunday night around 5pm. Lots of folks waiting outside. The lady gave me a beeper and we were called within 15mins. It's a pretty standard Asian buffet. Lots of seafood (fried crab, clams, crawfish, seafood boil, fried popcorn shrimp, baked salmon). Teppanyaki grill with veggies. Chicken. Beef slices. Kalbi (Korean short ribs), thin sliced ribeye on the weekend only for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised how generous this place is. The short ribs and ribeye section was constantly filled. To be honest, just eating the meat in this section is worth the money. Salad and fruit bar is pretty standard. Steam buns area had pork soup dumplings. I had to wait 10mins after request but they came out with 3 steamers worth. This is something I have never seen at a buffet. The taste was more like a dumpling but it wasn't bad. Dessert station was meh. The ice cream was individually packaged. Chocolate ice cream. Vanilla and strawberry "flavored" ice cream. Overall, we enjoyed the meal at this Chinese buffet. read more

Usually buffets are known to not have great food, this was not the case here. The selection was great, they had crawfish, shrimps, crabs, fried fish, Mongolian bbq, and a whole bunch of other Asian cuisine choices. I never felt overwhelmed by the amount of people here compared to other cheaper buffets. My only complaint was my spoon had a bunch of crust on it so I didn't use it (which is honestly terrible now that I think about it, but everything else made up for that). 4/5 stars, I wish the utensils were cleaned better, but other than that I had a great experience here. read more

I came here on a Friday evening around 6pm and had a small wait. The restaurant is new, so everything still looks really nice and clean. During my time there, the restaurant really struggled to keep up with the demand for food - a lot of the food trays were empty and took a long time to be refilled. In general, the food was mediocre. For most dishes, the flavor felt off due to lack of or incorrect seasoning of the dish. Favorite foods from the buffet were the salmon sashimi (and most offerings at the sushi bar), seaweed salad and Cajun shrimp boil. The galbi short ribs from the teppanyaki station looked promising but were really tough and chewy. The fruit at the dessert bar was fresh and sweet, and I appreciate the cleanliness of the prepackaged ice creams. Service was good, and plates were cleared off the table in a timely manner. Overall, the food, except for the dishes mentioned above, was not really enjoyable. Dinner was $18.99 per person, so it is a great deal for all the seafood that you're getting. Personally, I would prefer to go elsewhere and pay a bit more for better tasting food. read more

This was my second and absolutely last visit to Flaming Buffet. When it first opened, I was honestly impressed. The food was fresh, the rock crabs were packed with meat, and everything tasted like it was worth the money. At that time, I would have easily given them five stars without hesitation. But now? This place has completely fallen apart. The rock crabs were disgusting. They were clearly old and not stored properly. The smell coming off them was absolutely foul--like a mix of ammonia and something rotting. I could barely stomach the scent, let alone eat them. There was hardly any meat inside, which anyone who knows seafood understands means they have been dead for way too long. It is honestly a health concern at this point. No one should be serving crabs in this condition. Then there is the Mongolian grill--or whatever they are pretending it is. The cooks have no idea what they are doing. They dump excessive amounts of sauce on everything to the point where the food turns into a soggy, salty mess. It is not grilled. It is not stir-fried. It is not edible. Instead of that signature seared grill flavor you expect, you get something that tastes like it was boiled in soy sauce. It was like ramen gone wrong. The rest of the buffet is no better. The food looks like it has been sitting out way too long. Nothing is replenished on time. What should be crispy is soggy. What should be hot is lukewarm. The sushi is dry and rubbery, the desserts taste like they're from a discount freezer, and the fruit is sad and wilted. Flaming Buffet went from a promising new spot to an absolute nightmare. I would not eat here again if someone paid me. Not even if I came back in another life. This place should be ashamed of what it is serving now. Total disappointment. One star is too generous. read more

Came here for lunch with my partner since we live less than 10 minutes away. We also got 15% off coupons for the grand opening in the mail hehe. The buffet looked pretty clean and newly remodeled. For just recently opening, the restaurant was relatively crowded, PRICE: It's $13.99 for lunch and $18.99 for dinner and weekends. They also offer a senior discount, which I can't remember off the top of my head. FOOD: There's definitely a lot of variety. They have the typical asian buffet foods like wings, fries, cream cheese wontons (a little smaller than other asian buffets though, but just get more if you want them haha), orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, fried shrimp, salt and pepper shrimp, chow mein, fried rice, sushi, soups, etc. But they also had a couple things I don't typically see at other asian buffets such as xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and tempura vegetables. They also had this one mushroom dish in a sauce and that was so good! They also have Mongolian bbq but we didn't try that this time. SERVICE: We were seated pretty soon after we got inside the restaurant, and our used and finished plates were taken away very promptly. OVERALL THOUGHTS: For the price and variety, I would definitely come back since I live so close! I also want to try this place out for dinner. My parents typically go to Komi buffet so I'll have to take them to try this place out too! read more

A very nice variety of foods, quality was decent, taste was good no complaints. The dessert bar wasn't the best but the variety of fresh fruit more than made up for it.

I went during a weekday lunch. A lot of the foods that pictured in Yelp are not there during lunch. Maybe during dinner they come out, but things like crab legs and nigiri/raw fish sushi are not there. It is a cheap buffet. But even for the price I was sorely disappointed. Everything looked stale and tasted how it looked. The only decent thing to get would be the Mongolian stir fry in the back since it's freshly cooked it won't have that stale flavor. However, I read somewhere here someone said it tasted bland. That is correct. Bland food everywhere. Even the desserts weren't good. How does one mess up jello? Well if you taste it here you would see how. Cream puffs tasted stale too. I know it's a buffet but it just really looked like zero effort went into keeping food fresh. I had one mussel and spit it out immediately because it tasted too fishy. Expect cheap cafeteria food. At a really low quality cafeteria. Would not return. read more

I'll tell you all the food is over cooked to the point where it's so dry and hard to chew. It's basically All Korean menu, the food is all miss labeled or not labeled at all. read more

For the PRICE-$, it's a great value. It offers a wide variety of dishes. The seafood is fresh with no unpleasant odors, which is a huge plus.

I stopped by here after seeing the signs for months that this restaurant was opening. I live in Anaheim so I'm used to going to Teppanyaki when I want my Chinese buffet craving fulfilled. But since I go to Costco often, I had seen Flaming Buffet and was intrigued to try. After stopping by to try for lunch one day, I think I have decided to stick with Teppanyaki and not explore elsewhere anymore until I hear good things about them here on Yelp. Flaming Buffet was terrible, one of the worst buffets I've ever been to. The food here is awful. Nothing has seasoning and everything tastes bland. The mongolian grill was the only thing that didn't taste terrible, but even it needed more seasoning and was bland. I'm by no means someone with picky tastes or even a dulled palate. I'm not asking for exceptional flavors or seasonings here, just a little salt would have sufficed. I tried almost everything in the buffet from the soups to the clams/shrimp/fish to the sushi to the mongolian grill to the Chinese staples like fried rice, lo mein, crab rangoons, and orange chicken. I would not go back for any of it. The service here was also terrible. The waitress sat me at the beginning of my meal and filled my water once. I never saw anyone again until I had to chase someone down to ask for my bill. Yes, this buffet is cheap, but you get what you paid for. I'd much rather spend a few extra dollars to go to a buffet where the food actually makes me want to come back. read more

Great price point but I wouldn't come back again! Came here because extended family wanted to eat here. They mix their newer ingredients with old ingredients. My dad said one bite of shrimp was fresh. The next shrimp was old! Lots of seating and had high chairs. Tamarindo tasted watered down. At least they have an ice cream drawer freezer! Their noodles used for the stir fry grill looked dyed and gross. If I come back due to family obligations, I'll try the grilled food! read more

I'm not sure why this place has any 5 star ratings. The food was edible but horrible. Probably the only redeeming item was the sautéed clams offering. Everything else was terrible.

My wife and I have been going to this place since it opened. We liked it a lot, until today. Around 12:30 PM three people came in and brought their non-service animal in (dog). A little later the dog was fed table scraps from the buffet line. I'm sorry people, this is WRONG. read more

The space had a the main floor but towards the back a semi private space, that looked modern, and it held about 100-120 guests read more

Went on a hike and decided to stop by after. We were checked in quickly. The area and decor was nice and not too loud inside. Food was okay. They had a lunch and dinner menu separate. Sushi is usually what I come for but I didnt find it attractive and it was mostly rice. The only thing I really liked here was the chicken which I had with broccoli and green beans. For a buffet it was pretty decent but not the best. Very affordable. read more

- there was about a 20min wait when my party came on Friday around 7pm - restrooms available - service was fine, pretty rushed as expected at a buffet but they were quick to clean and very efficient - super affordable buffet price, $18/person - pretty spacious inside - food overall was very disappointing, I would not come back - none of the seafood was fresh, taste and textures felt old (crawfish, shrimp, crab) - everything else felt either under seasoned or overly salty, no in between - super small dessert selection - the only thing that was good was the corn on the cob read more

My hubby and I went to this place for lunch yesterday, on a friend's (who doesn't like Asian food) recommendation. I don't know why, but it sounded good, and she LOVED it!! We couldn't have been happier with it!! The place was super clean, big, spacious and nice. The service was great and the food was really good! You really never expect great food at an AYCE buffet, but it was excellent! There were so many different foods too! I went straight to the Mongolian BBQ area. It was a long bar full of cut up fresh veggies, carrots, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini and more. There were egg noodles and glass noodles. The meats were chicken, steak, pork chops and shrimp. Four sauces, Teriyaki, garlic, spicy and soy sauce. I piled a plate full of veggies, both noodles and some pork chops. I had them use Teriyaki and garlic sauces. It was absolutely YUMMY!! And fun to watch them scoot it around the hot grill while it sizzles and smells so good!! My hubby and I shared it. There was a huge salad bar, appetizer bar, seafood bar, noodle and rice bar, 4 different soups, pepperoni pizza, garlic bread, baked salmon, chicken, Mac & cheese, a huge sushi bar, and, of course, a dessert bar! Everything we had was delicious and very fresh. Besides the cleanliness and great food, the next best thing is the price. $13.99 for all you can eat lunch!! That's cheaper than a Big Mac lunch, and it tastes great and healthy!! The only other charge is for a drink. I had Diet Pepsi, $2.60. My hubby and I had a wonderful lunch for under $40 and were still full at dinner time, so we didn't eat the rest of the day. I can't wait to go back and take my kids. They'll love it too!! I believe dinner is $16.99, but I'm not sure. I know it's less than $20 and they add ribeye steak and crab legs. If you have a chance, go try Flaming Buffet!! You will be happy you did! read more

With two large rooms and one small area seating, this place carries more than 200 customers, which is pretty impressive. It is always clean and the staff work very diligently. Also, you can see them including the manager of the restaurant constantly wiping, sweeping and refilling the food stations. The service is also excellent. Whatever you ask, they will get it for you. Also, the drinks are always filled. They give you fork and spoon as utensils so if you need chopsticks, you need to ask for it. The restaurant closes at 9pm and I walked in at 8pm on Saturday. That was not a problem and they seated me immediately. I was a little bit worried that there will be only left overs at the food station but they were bringing in and filling up with fresh made foods nonstop, which relieved me immediately. I would say that their sushi selections were very limited, the sushi rice didn't have any flavors and the rest of the Chinese foods such as orange chicken, beef and broccolis, jalapeno chicken, etc. were very salty. However, the variety of the selections were great. Also, they have a grill station where you can bring all the meats, vegetables, noodles/rice, etc. and have their staff stir fry it for you, which is not only entertaining to watch but also unique. Like other buffets, the food quality wasn't superb but the price was very reasonable for what you get. read more
