    Free hot pot
    Pete F.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Ugh.. hate writing bad reviews and I've generally liked this place, but daughter and i just went for "dinner" and they charged dinner prices but it was just all cold leftover scraps from lunch.. partly my fault for going early, but assumed it's Friday dinner and they're usually busy weekends so they'd be bringing out fresh food but they never did. Politely told the lady who knows us and asked that it's only fair we be charged lunch prices at the least (we got there at 350 and "dinner" starts at 330, but she wouldn't agree and said they offer "crab and sashimi" at dinner... crab smelled like old poop and the sashimi looked so unfresh i didn't dare touch it... oh well, prolly better i barely ate and don't think I'm going back ever bc didn't think they were being fair and and the lady laughed and even said there's fresh food and she knew she was lying.

    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)

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Everything was freshly made!

    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!!

    Hello Cezarina, it's about $21 for AYCE dinner prices. (You can see the menu in the 'photos' section0. They have a wide selection of hot/cold items plus soup. Sushi is 'okay,' not top notch, but if you and your guests are not 'Sushi-Snobs' it will… Read more

Asia Buffet has fed me both times. It is largely a seafood/Chinese takeout buffet so I usually dine in such places to support my traveling companions in their seafood gorging campaigns. That's right. I'm the proud, carb-loading fifth wheel who complains about getting full after my third plate of food. But a combo at Panda can run you $15. So for $27, AB is a pretty reasonable upgrade of ultra indulgence. I fill up on the takeout, American comfort and salad/fruit stations. No complaints, just the usual fare - which was replaced pretty often. The teriyaki chicken was particularly hitting with the most recent trip, and so was the mushroom chicken. I know. Buffet-basic, but they slapped. The majority of customers are about their business when they come here. You get your table, you get your heaps of snow crab legs, clams or crawfish, and you get out. After two visits, after having embarked on a spectrum of life things, I've realized this is an effective site at which to stuff your face and eat your various feelings. So it will most definitely do.

The food didn't taste fresh and majority was cold. I disliked almost everything I ate. On top of their extensive selection, they have a wide selection of seafood: crab, shrimp, crawfish, snails, clams, sushi, and more. Dessert and ice cream is available. My group ate tons of crab, clams, and snails, which they said they enjoyed especially for the price. The sushi and sashimi were low quality and lack flavor, similar to grocery store sushi. The orange chicken was dry and broccoli beef was too chewy and tasted like rubber. On the bright side, I enjoyed the coffee ice cream which gave me a mini energy boost. Staff quickly refilled food so all options were available. Employees were helpful, providing us with a crab leg cracker when we asked. I did notice some plates were wet. This place offers quantity but not quality. Easy to find parking here. Plenty of seating available. No wait-short wait times.

They had so much options, not sure if they change the menu periodically but I love the fried tempura, radish slices, banchans, and japchae. We told the server we wanted. Regular menu at $24 and they handed us our QRCode. We ordered the meat on our phone so I got to order as much as I want without a time limit. I think the poor cheek was too thick, hard to cook and cut. Sirloin was ok, also hard to cut. Curry pork belly was new to us, it did burn the grill more than bulgogi. I think brisket, beef belly, and regular pork belly are still my go to. The drinks are not refillable, you can choose a can or their 32oz fountain drink. The servers are usually there for drinks, handing out meat, and if there are questions you have. But there's a %10 service charge added to every check and it is not gratuity! So make sure to tip on top of that total. Ice cream looked good but I didn't have any. What's worse is I didn't realize they had oranges and jello near the front! It was a big buffet so I didn't realize I missed a section.
