    Fresh fruit bar
    Marie M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!!!

    I just dont see how anyone can give this place anything low. Value wise, its awesome for ALL that you get. For me, its not just the choices you get but it also tastes pretty good. The buffet just got renovated and it looks pretty nice. They got rid of the spoons and forks at the end of the buffet line and its pretty organized. They have a soup station, a sweets section and a tiny sushi section. The mongolian station is also very decent. Beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. You have many options and the quality is above average. I read a review of people being sick but thats ludacris bc they make their food fresh daily. Have people seen where waste really goes?? They cant re-use the same food. This place is excellent even with the new ownership. The new ownership seems to really care about your experience and hopes that we all like the food. Today I really enjoyed my crab as it was not salty and the legs were meaty. The chicken wings are huge and tasty. The sesame balls are the best I've ever had. I travel to eat everywhere and for a Chinese buffet that isn't a buffet on the las vegas strip or something like cafe sierra in Los Angeles, this buffet is excellent. This place will always have my patronage.

    Holy cow: lots of options!

    My coworker wanted to come here because he thought it was like a Korean BBQ; it wasn't but damn it was incredible. There are seven rows of food options plus a sushi station and a Mongolian BBQ station. Everything was so good. The best thing was a dish, sorry I didn't get the name tag, but it was soft fish and very mild. I saw that they had salmon and other fish dishes but this dish was so good, it was the only thing I doubled up on. Place is super clean and the service is very good. I certainly hope to come back, although it is far from my house.

    I came here with my parents before going to the casino nearby. They seat first and ask to be paid afterwards. They have a good variety of basic Chinese buffet food- the Mongolian grill is well-stocked. The have a sushi bar with slices of mackerel, salmon, and tuna alongside rolls. They have various soups such as fishball soup, clam chowder, hot and sour, egg drop, and miso soup. Fruit and salad section are a bit spare but they're cut fresh. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    Took our friends from Hawaii and Colorado, enjoyed the food, good selection and tasted great. Friendly staff, good service, spacious, and you can have a separate room for parties. 5 adults and 3 kids for $135, you can't beat that!

    It was our first time here when we were celebrating my brother's birthday. There were 5 of us and we were seated right away. It's an AYCE buffet, hence, Hibachi Buffet. The price is very reasonable! They had a very good selection of food.....Mongolian, Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, seafood, 5 different kinds of soups, etc. The food was delicious! Mon-Thurs lunch is $16.99 & dinner is $21.99. Fri-Sun is a fixed price of $25.99! Pretty good, right?! AND the service is outstanding! I highly recommend this place! Come try it for yourself! You won't regret it!

    TL;DR Great bang for the buck with crab legs and oysters included, but lacking of typical buffet options that may be offputting for some. Quality of food is on par with other buffets. The advantage here is that they have crab legs, oysters, and some other seafood you dont typically see at these buffets, especially for the price. The crowd is not as large as other places as well. Which is good for a quick in and out process. The only downside is the lack of options. There arent too many options, mainly pizza and fries for the kids, but it's nice to have a non-crowded buffet experience. P.S. crab legs go FAST, so get them ASAP

    Always so clean and the food is DELICIOUS. Wonderful, professional service. This restaurant is always so pleasant to visit and to share a meal with family at.

    Baked mussels

    One of my favorite places! The mussels are always so fresh, clean, and delicious. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes my family feel welcome. We come here for every birthday celebration and always have a great experience. Highly recommend!

    My family and I visited for dinner last night, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read morefrom the moment we walked in. When we were seated, we asked for a high chair three separate times before one was finally brought to our table. The high chair turned out to be too small for our son, so we asked if we could use a booster seat on the end chair instead. The server seemed hesitant, mentioning she wasn't sure she'd be able to get by the chair. We said that was fine and instead placed the booster seat between my wife and me. After struggling to get our son comfortable, we eventually realized the booster seat has two different height settings depending on which side is facing down. It would have been helpful if that had been pointed out when it was brought to the table. Throughout the meal, our server seemed distracted and wasn't around very often. Our food was brought out by other staff members, which isn't necessarily a problem by itself, but combined with the lack of check-ins it made the service feel disconnected. The biggest disappointment came when I took my son outside while we waited. The benches, chairs, and handrails in the waiting area were covered in bird droppings. There were spider webs in multiple places, and the entrance to the restaurant itself looked dirty. I understand the restaurant is going for an old harbor or fishing-boat atmosphere, but there's a big difference between rustic and neglected. Instead of feeling charming or nautical, it felt like years of dirt and grime had simply been left in place. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but basic cleanliness and attentive service are things I expect from any restaurant, especially when dining with a young child. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback because the restaurant has potential, but our experience left us with little desire to return.

It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

    Service was great, food was what I expected. I have occasionally been going to Red Lobster…read morerestaurants around the country over the past 40-50 years and the food has always been about the same. Except for about 5 years or so when Red Lobster completely lost their way. The ambiance was also what I expected from this long established restaurant chain. Music was at a good volume, temperature was good, and no weird odors or fruit flies or anything like that. Lighting levels are comfortable for a relaxing dinner. Price was midrange for this style of restaurant. Again, what I expected. The one thing Red Lobster has going for it is consistency. No surprises either way. I suppose that's a good thing. The one area the Temecula location never seems to get right, and why don't go there more often, is the maintenance and upkeep. It does look like the carpet was cleaned or replaced recently, which was one thing that really turned me off the last time I was there. But, there are still little dis-pleasers here and there. Things not clean or tidy like bathroom fixtures not working, bathrooms that are pretty poor condition, where you look around and ask yourself, when was the last time this place was thoroughly cleaned? Water puddles on the vanity, paper towels strewn all around... Subconsciously wondering if you're not walking out with more germs on your hands after washing them than when you went in. Truly, these restaurants have found a nice little niche and really don't need to re-concept or renovate. Just a few bucks spent on keeping things clean and operating correctly is really all that is needed. It never fails to amaze me how some businesses will try to squeeze a penny by not keeping things clean and well maintained, while bleeding money from lost customers. You'd think the food and beverage business would understand that people don't want to eat at a location that's dirty and unsanitary. Oh well!
