    1st time to Temecula for wine tasting and checked to see what dining options were available under the AAdvantage dining program and this one was newly added. Lots of choices but it seems a bit misleading regarding the types of cuisine when you google this place. Inside you see all these different countries flags and think to yourself that it is going to be an international buffet; however, the sign outside the bidg states "seafood & Asian food". Food was mediocre with nothing outstanding. I didn't care that most of their food was fried. Crab legs are offered on the weekend (but hog attacked) since the pricing is 27.95 per person (if you must try, I'd stick to lunch during the week as it is almost half the price). The salad bar is a joke with not much to choose from; however, their fruit bar was more pleasing. I didn't care for their sushi bar as it seemed dry and not very fresh. Beer and wine is available so we had a couple glasses of cab and it was not bad for the price (5.49/glass). Overall, I would not come back here again unless it was during the week with the as advertised lower pricing. Staff was friendly and the service was very good though.

    Another day, another Chinese seafood buffet. I walked into Hibachi today not expecting much. I'd been disappointed by similar restaurants in the past, including one not too many weeks ago. Usually not all the entrees are fresh, the seafood high-ticket items get picked apart first by a ravenous crowd, and I just don't find too many options of actual variety and quality. Hibachi actually had some decent spare ribs, wings, and the salmon wasn't terrible, albeit having sat in the warmer a little too long. The Mongolian bbq station was quality too. It was just missing a few veggies I normally get like carrots, green onions, and bell peppers. It did have shrimp, imitation crab, and many beef and chicken options, which was nice. I didn't see any lamb or goat choices, which is another meat I normally employ in my Mongolian BBQ construction. The service was great. The servers were refilling and clearing debris like plates and napkins often before I had even started to consider calling someone over. That's the kind of service you always want, one that anticipates needs. The ambiance was good too. I was a little disappointed we didn't get the booth we requested, but that was a minor quibble. Otherwise, the layout was spacious and relaxed, as much as it can be in a buffet environment. I would definitely not mind eating at this spot again on a quieter afternoon or evening. All in all, Hibachi managed to be a pleasant surprise and I give it better marks walking out of it than I anticipated when I first walked in. I wouldn't be opposed to coming here more often in the future.

    We recently visited Hibachi Buffet and were really impressed by the huge selection. If you love seafood, there are plenty of options, including crab legs, shrimp, fish, oysters, and fresh sushi. My favorite part was the Mongolian barbecue. I loved being able to create my own plate with exactly what I wanted, and my son had so much fun watching them cook everything right in front of us. They also have plenty of classic Chinese dishes, dim sum, fries for the kiddos, fresh fruit, ice cream, and an entire case filled with desserts. There truly is something for everyone, even if you aren't a seafood fan. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back!

    Hibachi Buffet has been newly upgraded with new and more modern looking buffet tables, serving sushi, a variety of soups, salad, fresh fruit, seafood, meat, and chicken dishes. There's also a hibachi grill where you choose raw ingredients for the cook to grill everything in real time. They have lychee, an expensive imported Asian fruit, and tropical papaya at the fresh fruit bar. Service was friendly. Tons of parking space. Clean, modern ambiance.

    All you can eat buffet?!?! I'm there! $25 per person, all you can eat. That's a sweet deal! The place wasn't that crowded either. Sure, there were people there, but ambiance was super busy. It was still enjoyable and you could walk around without being rushed to hurry up lol Value is there. Food is good. Price is cheap for all you can eat. Win win.

    came here with my dad and we were both sooo surprised by how good everything was!! the snow crab legs were seriously so fresh, sweet and meaty we kept going back for more lol definitely my favorite thing here i also really loved their scallops, super flavorful and so good!! the oysters were HUGE, juicy and tasted really fresh too. their ribs were another surprise, really tender and packed with flavor they have over 100 items so there's honestly sooo much to choose from. sushi, hibachi, seafood, hot food, fruits, desserts and more. they're also under new management and the whole restaurant feels really clean, spacious and nicely renovated it gets pretty packed at night so i would recommend coming a little earlier so you can take your time and enjoy everything. the staff was really friendly and they were constantly bringing out fresh food and refilling everything such a good spot for a big family dinner, birthday or even just a casual dinner with friends. my dad and i really enjoyed it and i would definitely come back for the snow crab legs and oysters seafood is available friday nights and all day on weekends!!

    Brought my parents here for lunch last weekend, and it completely exceeded expectations! If you go, you have to plan it for the weekend--the weekend seafood spread is next level with incredible crab legs, fresh shrimp, and all the right pairings. I only wish the crab legs were cold, but my parents loved that they were steamed lol The live hibachi station is awesome to watch, and loading up your own plate with fresh meats, veggies, noodles, and custom proteins to hand straight to the grill chef is such a great experience. Follow that up with their fresh sushi rolls and nigiri, and you've got an absolute feast. The price point is honestly unbeatable for the sheer amount of variety and quality you get. Super clean, friendly service, and a total hidden gem for a fun, satisfying weekend meal!

    Finally checked this place out after seeing it over and over all over social media. It does live up to its hype I will say. Lots of food options that were always quickly replenished. We went during a weeknight but they said on Fridays-weekends they serve crab legs so I gotta go back to try that! Different types of food varieties from sushi, Chinese, American, Mongolian grill, Japanese. Wish I had more stomachs to be able to eat everything. Prices are very affordable than what I'm used to down in SD and also they offer the option to take to-go which they charge per pound.

    My mom wanted to come and have LUNCH here. Looks like they got the entire restaurant REVAMPED or REMODELED! It's looking pretty nice and clean. I love the blue under lighting at the BUFFET STATION... MUSHROOM CAPS: 10/10 The have the BEST TASTING mushroom caps!! I what's have to go for round 2 or round 3. Bravo Chef!!! MAPO TOFU: 9/10 I love this dish!! However I feel like it can be more moist and possibly have more gravy... CLAM CHOWDER: 8/10 I like the creaminess of it but, it was just a tad bit SALTY. I would add less salt if possible. Not good for high blood pressure and elderly... SUSHI: 10/10 They actually make really good sushi here. It's all about the RICE! Nice and moist but, not too moist!!! I noticed they had some new items like more dim sum options, chicken teriyaki, spare ribs, etc. I actually really enjoyed the steamed fish with ginger. It's a great healthy options for people with high cholesterol. My mom really enjoyed her dishes too. She actually ate more than me!!! FRUITS: 10/10 Every single fruit was so nice and sweet!! Nothing was sour!! SERVICE: B- Good. She kept picking up our plates. Even when we were STILL EATING! She also brought the bill even while we were still eating... I'm not sure if she knows about GOOD CUSTOMER ETIQUETTE but, one should definitely ask before taking a plate and not bring the bill before customers are done eating!!! It's like rushing them so PLEASE ADVISE... Great job on the remodeling!! I still think this is one of the BEST buffets in the area!!! ROCK ON HIBACHI BUFFET!!!!!

    We stopped by Hibachi Buffet for a family meal and were impressed by how much variety they have. There are tons of buffet options plus a hibachi station where you can pick your own ingredients and have them cooked for you, which was probably our favorite part. It's a good option with kids because there's enough variety that everyone can find something they like, and the restaurant itself is spacious and casual. Service was friendly during our visit as well. If you're looking for an easy family meal with lots of choices, this is a convenient spot to check out.

    If you're walking into Hibachi Buffet in Temecula, leave your modest appetites and indecisiveness at the door. This place is an unapologetic, plate-stacking temple built for maximum variety and serious food conquests. The seafood spread punches above its weight class for a strip-mall buffet. Expect mounds of peel-and-eat shrimp, spicy crawfish ready to crack, baked mussels bubbling with rich garlic sauce, and a chilled sushi line that keeps the carb-and-protein balance alive. Aim for peak dinner rush around 5:30 to 6:30 PM. Sure, it gets bustling and noisy, but high crowd turnover means the kitchen is slamming fresh, piping-hot trays onto the steam tables every five minutes. The service is pretty awesome too. They always make sure table was cleaned and you're ready for another batch of plates.

    Holy cow: lots of options!

A hotel guest even went out of her way to tell us how much she loved her room stay. Game-wise, they have a good variety from penny slots to high rollers, plus a great mix of classic machines. Like any casino, the slots are hit-or-miss; some pay out a bit, others are tight. Although there's a smoke-free area, the smell lingers so I did see some people wearing masks due to the smell.

It took more than a week to get the issue resolved. Unfortunately, my family visited again this past weekend (June 4-7, 2026) and experienced another problem. This time, we were charged at a restaurant and sports bar that we never visited. As of today, no one from the casino has contacted us to apologize or make things right. We've spent hours on the phone with both our bank and the casino, with no meaningful resolution other than having to cancel our credit cards ourselves to prevent the charges from going through. We are extremely disappointed. Our family has been coming to Pala for more than 25 years, and it's upsetting to experience these issues. If these unauthorized charges are happening to other patrons as well, that is very concerning. What a shame to see a place we've enjoyed for so many years leave us feeling this way.

Its rancid, outrageously smelly, and made me spit it out right away. The chicken skins were so bad I gave it to my dogs. 1/2 lb for 10$. At least my big dogs loved it and someone is happy. I almost want to make skewers and fried chicken skins, bring it back and show them what real food tastes like. Im repulsed, shocked at the outrageous price, and disgusted by this food.
