    Decent buffet with a variety of options. Aside from the traditional self serve buffet, they also offer made-to-order stir fry and pho, which is nice if you want to change things up. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of parking. One thing that stood out was how attentive the staff was. They were constantly cleaning the dining area and promptly refilling buffet items, which kept everything tidy and well stocked.

    $19.5 plus 8% service charge = very good value for weekday lunch. Lots of variety of food choices and cuisines: build your own pho noodle soup, build your own hibachi, and lots of sushi rolls. Very roomy, bright, clean. Unlike regular Chinese buffet -- usually the quality is less. This place is good for lunch. As I left, they started putting out items for dinner only starting 3pm. Crabs, shrimps, freshly stir fried vegetables, etc. Parking was easy.

    Not bad at all for AYCE! Granted it's not like a wicked spoon in Las Vegas or any of those but you can find something for everyone here. We came here Sunday at opening at 11 am for Father's Day and stayed for the maximum time. My parents loved the snow crab and ate all the Chinese food and sushi. I thought the California rolls and nigiri were good enough. The beef pho was good and they even have tripe and beef balls as an option to add to your soup. For drinks you can get unlimited soda, tea, water and coffee. For dessert they have cookies, individual ice cream containers and jello and fruit. Service was easy. Pay at the front when you arrive and just sit down where they escort you to. The waiters are good about collecting your finished plates pretty quickly. Since this is a brand new restaurant they made it clean and modern. The dining room is HUGE!!! And there is additional seating by the front where they call it the party room in case you want a more private area - but this one is further away from the hibachi and pho. At 28.99 a person plus tip and tax I might come back on a weekday lunch if I have a craving but I'm not really a buffet person since I'm on GLp1. But really my parents like AYCE and they were happy!

    Not the best area!

    This Asian buffet offers a typical selection of sushi, stir-fry, and hot soup stations. People are constantly refilling their food trays, which is a good sign that the food is being replenished regularly. However, I must admit that I'm not a fan of buffets, especially when the public touch the serving spoons. On a positive note, I accompanied someone to this buffet, and we had a pleasant time. The employees were coming over to take used dishes from table. However, I did notice some flies flying around the food area, which is a concern because it suggests that they might be entering the premises.

    Hibachi Grill and Buffet has entered the family group text! We came in today after church and there was no less than 150 people in the building during this soft launch week, and it did not disappoint! We came right up to the counter and there was an escort waiting to take us directly to our table right after we paid the cashier. Note that an 8% gratuity is included, but leaving extra for the bussers who kept our tables cleared between multiple visits to the buffet area is worth doing. The place is spic and span clean and the food is fresh, rotated on a regular bases. Super impressed they had a spicy Cajun seafood boil in the mix, along with many other seafood options - such as crab, a few variations and shrimp, mussels, oysters, clams and more! Overall, it's a solid range of Asian cuisine, including freshly prepared sushi, make your own Vietnamese noodle and stir fry bowls, dim sum, and many American Chinese restaurant standards. I did not try the desserts, but the options were plentiful, including fresh fruits, and couple freezers full of single serve ice cream cups. I also appreciated the signage that prohibits kids under 10 serving themselves without an adult, which I'm sure helps manage food waste, not to mention the cootie risks! I graded this place as a buffet, and it's the best you get can get locally without going all the way to Vegas, so it's a solid 4 stars in my book. Plus, this is the kind of bustling business this sleepy Vallejo mall needed, and I'm cheering them on to keep thriving!

    Soft opening for Vallejo's new hibachi buffet -- same ownership as the Fairfield location. So far, so good. The menu is almost identical to Fairfield's, which is great for those of us living in Vallejo since it's much closer now. Parking is easy, but definitely stay aware of your surroundings and don't leave valuables in your car. Unfortunately, this plaza and surrounding area have had ongoing crime issues, and I personally experienced an armed robbery here two years ago. Just use common sense and be cautious. Once inside, the staff greet you right away and you pay before eating. During the soft opening everyone was getting 10% off, and the restaurant was PACKED. Despite that, the staff worked hard and stayed on top of everything. Popular items like the seafood boil, coconut shrimp, dim sum, and cheese mussels disappeared quickly, but they were also refilled just as fast. Credit to both the staff and management -- they clearly prepared well for the crowds. The restaurant itself is clean overall, although I did notice a couple stained plates and utensils mixed in with the clean dishware area. Sadly, that's something I've come to expect occasionally from chain buffets. The food is decent -- not amazing, but fair for the price. What really won me over was the all-you-can-eat pho. As someone very picky about pho, I'd actually give the broth a solid 7/10, which is impressive for a buffet. The meat tends to overcook and isn't the highest quality, but again, it's AYCE pho so I can't complain too much. The beef tendon balls were good (pretty standard if you shop at Asian markets), and the tripe was surprisingly solid. They also provide basil, cilantro, jalapeños, and the usual pho add-ons, which I appreciated. For the variety and convenience, it's hard to beat. Vallejo has lost a lot of buffet spots over the years like Empire Buffet and Golden City Buffet -- places many locals grew up with. It's nice to finally see a new buffet that's clean, organized, and well maintained so far. Even the bathrooms were clean. I genuinely hope the community helps keep this place nice. Right now there's no graffiti, broken furniture, or grime buildup, but it's also brand new, so time will tell. I'll probably update this review in a year to see how well they maintain everything. Overall: solid 7/10. I'll definitely be back.

    I thought it was a cool and clean place. I came here for the soft opening to celebrate a long week at work. My favorite was the build your own Vietnamese noddles soup. They also had the hibachi option of stirred fried option. The workers are constantly refilling and checking to make sure food was filled. Free drinks, different options of soups. I was pretty impressed. Sushi, fried food, salad bar. For soft opening, they gave a 20% discount!

    Good to see another option for buffets in Vallejo. This place is huge and there is plenty of space to host small and big parties. Decor inside is really nice. The folks that come pick up your finished plates are quick. Everything is self served including getting your own drinks and ice cream for dessert. The food is ok for the buffet. The only thing I was worried about is the pho section. I don't know if the meat tasted funny or what, but all the rest of the food was fine. I do wish they served sashimi as an option. It would have made it really worth it. Overall, a good buffet to go to in Vallejo

    This is my second time here! I came for dinner with my family and one time with my sister at lunch! Both times, there were a variety of dishes. For the dinner time , I got the hibachi grill and for lunch I got the pho noodles. Both times were cooked to your custom choices. Both times the place was cleaned, the staff were respectful and helpful. Definitely will come back.

    Located in the same plaza were Seafood City is among other things. Plenty of parking. The inside is super spacious and plenty of sitting. This is probably the best buffet I have gone to in years. They do senior and military discounts as well. Another thing to note is they have these private rooms you can rent out for special events that have tvs that you can do karaoke in! The staff were kind and accommodating.

    Andrea D.

    Absolutely perfect! The place was open and clean and full of people. We had a party of 7 people and even though the wait time was 15-20 minutes, they called us in about 6 minutes. Tables were close but not crowded. Servers were constantly cleaning, clearing plates and restocking food. There were so many food options in the buffet and the hibachi was fabulous. Food was fresh and delicious. Servers were very helpful and quick. This is a much needed new food option in Vallejo and definitely worth the wait.

    Huge place for buffet

    Another experience to proof that I shouldn't trust the reviews... =..=""" Service lady from front door is very robotic and not friendly at all, service from the gentleman who cleared the table are nice and polite, so I think the "mandatory but illegal" 8% tips should go to those gentleman who cleared up the table! Not much choice of foods, most of them are extremely salty, esp the hot&sour soup and mussels, so we didn't really eat much the whole meal. Was gonna make some hot tea at the bar but no hot water at all, the ice-tea has no cover that I see lot of dust and mold in the container. Anyway, overall experience wasn't as 4 stars as shown, so I will never visit again...

    Love their pho bar!

    Pretty good! the value of dinner and what was served could add better food/selection. For lunch def. A good price. Attentive of collecting finished plates. Clean place.

This place is located in a small multi tenant shopping center located near the entrance of Hiddenbrooke with ample parking-so that was nice. This restaurant is for sure a local restaurant that serves the Hiddenbrooke community with most of their patrons being locals from the community.That was what we found upon arrival,most of the customers did seem to be locals in for a quick lunch. I would describe this place as an Asian fusion restaurant.-the depth of their menu was surprising-like "Cheesecake Factory-esque" level depth of menu.Their sushi menu was many pages and I hadn't even planned on getting sushi but after looking at this menu,I had to try something-so went with a simple Spicy Tuna Roll ($12.95). Off the Thai menu we decided to go with the Trio Meat Fried Rice ($20.95) Virgin Drunken Noodle ($18.95) Pad See U ($16.95) and Drunken Noodle ($16.95) Well I don't consider myself an expert when it comes to Asian fusion but I've had it more than a handful of times-so I can say with confidence that the food here was pretty good- very tasty-the Virgin Drunken Noodles were Interesting due to their use of glass noodles-the beef in that dish was seasoned well.I ordered my Drunken Noodles spicy and for that they delivered,quite a spicy dish.The Pad See U had really good veggies on it-very tasty and snappy. The Spicy Tuna Roll was pretty standard-the highlight being I somehow got my mother to try sushi for the 1st time by eating a piece of this sushi roll-she didn't hate it which I think is a pretty good review from a 73 year old Native American woman trying sushi for the 1st time. In closing,if u ever find yourself out in the Vallejo or Hiddenbrooke area and you want to give a small local business a try-this place is a pretty good choice-with a menu this big,your bound to find something on there that will make you happy.

The wontons are addictingly crunchy without any grease, and the sauces have a lot of sweet and savory flavors. But the portion of fish has shrunk significantly since I first ordered them about 3yrs ago while the price has moderately stayed the same, around $20. The most recent purchase was at this week's Nihonmachi Fair in Japantown in San Francisco. I was looking at other people's orders to see the portion size of fish. Well, I didn't want to look creepy anymore so I stood in line to buy my own. As I waited in line, I remembered the scant amount of fish when I got them at the Union Street Festival. But I enjoyed the flavors and textures. Well, I got about 6-7 small cubes of tuna. The avocado was slightly frozen, but I didn't mind that too much because of the hot weather. And the other flavors and textures were consistent like before. I know that costs are at an all time high, and the price point for selling food should be reflective of those costs, labor, permits, etc. And I know vendors are cognizant of what price points will be attractive to buyers. But seeing the small amount of tuna is still nonetheless disappointing. Yet, out of all the street festivals I've been to, I don't see a product similar to this one. So it's possible I'd order sushi nachos again, but maybe without fish at all since it's the cheaper price point. I may get more bang for my buck if I bought sashimi elsewhere to add to the nachos.
