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. I frequented the Mongolian bbq which i thought was pretty good. The service was pretty attentive for a buffet. They were fairly quick to clear the table and refill the drinks. The stations were pretty clean and the overall place was clean. Its not a bad place to get a quick cheap buffet fix. read more

Good variety of food selection, mostly seafood. Service is what you'd expect of buffet places. Place is big and bright. I guess I'm really not just much of a buffet person. But we were here to celebrate a bday and the celebrant wanted to try this place. Drinks not included in the buffet cost. read more

Flaming Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Fullerton, California

​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 ​The Issues: ​Misleading Pricing: The online prices are completely outdated.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

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

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

Our church group has frequented this buffet restaurant more than other buffets. The food has been good enough to get our group to go again and again. The price is still reasonable and the food variety is good enough for my friends to want to go again and again. However, for me I felt that the quality of food need to be upgraded as for me, the taste was not that exceptional for me to want to go there again and again as my friends did. I finally told my wife that we will not go there until the place gets a little cleaner and the food a little more presentable and improve in quality. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

they change fired fish Reduce the quality another flaming buffet support old style fish. right now they also remove cold dish also。 fried chicke leg and wing became the whole wing. every good thing they all remove！ the funny this is they add hotpot and need extra pay，this buffet manager is not business and not not smart. will close soon，never coming Again. 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
