* Food: Great for large parties with diverse food options. The seafood boil was flavorful. The food is solid--nothing above and beyond, but expected for a buffet. * Desserts: Limited choices--jello, cookies, ice cream, and cakes--but nothing that interested me. * Drinks: Two soda stations, though a third could reduce wait times. * Large parties: A private room is available; there was a party when we were there. * Service: We were seated fast on a Saturday night. * Overall: I would come again. read more

I've been wanting to try this place so I did today. Place is large, uncrowded with a lot of staff working the floor. Food area was clean. I tried several different items and the only thing I finished was the 2 slices of watermelon. Everything looked good just lacking in flavor. read more

Low quality ingredients/food. No flavor. Sushi rice tasted stale. Huge event space for parties. A lot of workers ready to take your dirty plates away. read more

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. read more

Hibachi Grill & Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Vallejo, California

$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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Hibachi Grill & Buffet - Not the best area! - Buffets Near Me - Vallejo, California

$60+ for two adults on a Sunday afternoon. Honestly, I was surprised by the price, but thankful someone treated us this time. Haha. Buffet prices in Vallejo are slightly more expensive than Fairfield, per their website. It says, "$26.50 for dinner" in Vallejo. But when we went on a Sunday early afternoon, they said it was $30 something per adult and quoted us over $60 for two of us. Food items are similar to the Fairfield location - lots of seafood choices. They have sushi, Vietnamese noodles, and hibachi which I haven't tried yet. Food is good, but nothing over the top that would cause me to keep coming. Though I do walk away extremely full! Also, drinks are included. It's great to have a buffet place in Vallejo though, perfect for small and large parties. They even have a separate room for private parties that you can reserve. All total, I was told the place can fit 400 people, though I'm not sure how accurate that is. It is very spacious with room for more tables and chairs. Ice cream option is just the one serving cup with a wooden spoon. I would have preferred soft serve ice cream. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

We just found out about this place and were surprised to learn that they had been opened for at least a few weeks now. I barely remember going to the Fairfield location since it's been several years ago. Hibachi Grill & Buffet is a welcome addition to what I hope will be the beginning of revitalization for Vallejo Plaza. With Seafood City and the other establishments around the corner already catering to the Asian population, Hibachi Grill & Buffet may create a growing migration to evolve around the corner of the shopping center. For two people, we arrived before 6pm, and it was the perfect time for us. The bill came to $62 for 2 adults, and I think it was worth it for an AYCE buffet. The restaurant is very spacious, and not cramped like any typical Asian buffet. Food-wise, everything was delicious. The only peculiar thing was some of the food arrangement, particularly what I'm guessing was the salad/dessert bar. A delicious spicy baby octopus salad was placed right next to the chocolate pudding, while the jello was placed next to the salad. Imagine finding a baby octopus in your chocolate pudding... not so delicious after all. Other than that, everything else was great. As I mentioned, we got there a little before 6pm, which was perfect. Because by the time we were leaving, the restaurant was really starting to pack out. With so much food to try, we'll be back. read more

Brother brought us here mostly for the hibachi. The area is ok with lots of parking. The staff is good at clearing out the plates and keeping the place clean and you do get some decent seafood. Those are all the positive things that I could see. In terms of quality most of the items are room temperature and there were a few that tasted like rancid meat that's been in the fridge for way too long. The sushi portions are incredibly tiny, practically the size of your pinky, probably smaller actually. Maybe next time we'll have a better experience, for the cost it's not too bad but make sure to have very low expectations. read more

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. read more

Hibachi Grill & Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Vallejo, California

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... read more

For $26.50 p/p not impressed! Clean place since it is new. The discount you get is basically offset the service fee but then you didn't really get serve either. LOL Food is ok just like all other standard Chinese Buffett I had and how could you not have crab legs for the $$. Pho flavor is very light. I don't have a problem paying such price but quality needs an upgrade. I wanted to do 3.5stars but don't know how. That's why is 4stars FYI-you should change sales tax rate you're collecting before you end up paying the shortage during CDTFA filing. Hahaha read more

I really like this establishment the food was fresh, the temperatures for the food was accordingly was spot on!

Came here last weekend with my wife and 5 children, looks really nice inside and do Vallejo it's considered reallyyyyy nice lol. Right away you pay at the front then enter jn(like most buffets) then you are shown your table. The drinks are included and self serve which is great so you don't have to wait for a server in that! All around every dish was decent or wayyy better than decent, like, really good and some I would say is delicious. The best dishes I had came from the habachi and pho area where you add your ingredients and they prepare it on the spot. My fried rice was bomb and the pho was delicious! I add nearly everything to my pho like basil, cilantro and every sauce available in perfect quantities of course. I would come back just for the pho alone and plan on doing so soon! Obviously not an upscale place but it's good quality food at a good price and great selection. I would recommend if you're in the area and want a good buffet type place. Not many to choose from in Vallejo but this place i recommend to all read more

Newer Asian buffet located in the same Plaza near Seafood City and Bank of America in Vallejo. This used to be the old Dollar Store. So the facilities, table, and establishment are new and still in good condition. There was a discount when they first opened up, huge area and a private room area. Perfect for parties and large gatherings, for parties they give you tickets you use for your guests to enter. They save a salad bar, dessert bar, ice cream cups, drinks, some pizza and pasta, and Asian cuisine. I noticed it was more so on the shrimp side of dishes, they have shrimp boil, some dim sim, a Mongolian bbq grill, a pho station, and a sushi station. For the price I think it's decent. My elderly parents enjoy coming here and the variety. But my brother is vegetarian and I didn't see that many vegetarian and vegan friendly items. The staff working the front were very friendly and those bussing the dishes. We went on a weekday early afternoon for dinner for a reception. Since it's located in a plaza there's plenty of parking but it isn't the best or safest area so don't leave anything in your cars and be vigilant of your surroundings, especially the elderly. read more

This place has some pretty good items! The price is a bit higher than I would expect for the quality but when you're craving specific things it's worth it. My favorites here are the chow mein, hot and sour soup, veggie egg rolls, gyoza, cheese rangoons and the coconut shrimp. The Diet Coke is also good from the machine, which varies at other places. I recommend to check it out during lunch so that you can pay a lower price and see if you're into it. read more

Took my parents and mom in love here for a late lunch last month. It was our first time here and when we got in before everyone arrived we checked in and paid for our table. We grabbed our table once our party was there and then headed to the buffet and hibachi area. The space is open and very spacious. Drinks are served yourselves. The servers did a good job clearing our plates. The buffet was ok next time would like to try hibachi since I did not have much of appetite that day we went. read more

I have high hopes for this buffet when I read about the word Hibachi which is a Japanese word. I felt betrayed by the quality of food that was presented. Hibachi was lacking Umami. And so as the rest of the food. I wanna tell the Chef to travel to Japan and eat on one of the local restaurants and you will understand what I meant. The cup that was being used for the tea was plastic and the water was so hot- instead of using a porcelain tea cups. It is not healthy to drink from a plastic with hot liquid. We went there Tuesday night at 2000. The sorroundings were clean. The ambience was okay. Stop Westernizing Asian Cuisine. Pls. make it authentic so people will experience the Asian Flair. I'd rather eat in the cheap Restaurant in Chinatown in New York at least their food is good. Pls. this is a positive Criticism. read more

I've been here enough to know that' Hibachi buffet is a decent place to eat. Upon arrival you will be paying for your buffet. You will be asked booth or a table. Obviously if you have a large party you will be seated at the large tables in the center of the venue. I prefer the booths it's a bit more private. On the food everything is good. Try it all. I like starting with a salad plate 1. Then I will go for the Hibachi grill putting noodles and meat on my plate then giving it to the chef plate 2. Next I will either try the Pho or a combo plate of assorted foods plate 3. Lastly I will end with assorted fruits plate 4. Overall I'm generally happy with this place. The only turnoff is the weekend pricing is more than weekday. I think it's a money grab and not so fair. The hosts need to put a smile on their face and greet customers with more enthusiasm. Happiness not included. Will I be back, yes. On the weekends No! read more

This place has been open less than a week in Vallejo. Generally when an Asian buffet opens it's outstanding and with time slowly go downhill. I have not eaten at the Fairfield location for close to a year because it has gone downhill. Let me say this the interior is very nice in fact upscale for Vallejo. I found the food to be somewhat disappointing. Less beef dishes than I remember, breading a little soggy on some dishes. And with the place just opening I thought the dirty plates would be flying off our table by staff. Our plates were picked up at the end of the. My comparison of this location to the Fairfield one is that the Fairfield one was amazing when it opened. The Vallejo one is kinda eghh now . Maybe I'll try it again next month but to be honest I was disappointed. read more

The food was better than the other place in Fairfield- price were reasonable as we were 5 - great help from the guys who picked up our plates- it's a place for big families- plenty of room too - 8 out of 10 place - plenty of parking and wonderful - a yes on coming back to eat again read more

Uniformed staff are available even the table bussers were helpful . It Was cold temperatures in room so dress warm. Overall experience was nice. Good for Vallejo please keep it up. read more

Wow the restaurant was spotless and the food options were great! I hadn't been to a buffet in years b/c I worry about food idling for long periods of time but I noticed how each serving platter has just enough (so not overfillled) that when it was gone they'd bring out a whole new batch. The staff was super attentive. It was not too crowded (we went after the lunch rush) and once again very clean. The selection of food was great, kinda reminded me of the Manila Hotel buffet with the amount of options. The one con - dessert selection - was totally lacking, but that may be because you will not have enough room after everything you've eaten! read more

We went there for lunch today to check out this new hibachi buffet. And to be honest, I was not impressed. The sushi was mediocre... barely any fish inside. Just rice and fillers.. however, there were lots of different options in terms of Chinese food. Some seafood, deep fried stuff and they have a hibachi station where they cook food for you. A few of the buffet dishes left empty for a long time before they were refilled. Lots of kids running around helping themselves to food without their parents supervision, which left a mess. The service was great, the staff was constantly cleaning up after people. The desert and salad section was good. All in all I wouldn't come back. read more

It's about time Vallejo had another buffet place since the other ones had closed in recent years. This place is HUGE. It's got plenty of regular table seating and even a room for parties that you can reserve for events. The food is tasty and plentiful and often refilled quickly (offerings are pretty standard Chinese buffet offerings). And that's just for the regular buffet, they also offer sushi, pho to order and hibachi offerings as well. There are two drink machines and they even have a freezer for ice cream. I've gone twice-once for an earlier dinner service and once during lunch, which the tables turnover quickly so there isn't a long wait. Staff is very helpful and polite as well and they will clear your table often of your finished dishes. Makes for a great choice for larger groups of people when you're trying to find a place to eat. read more

Ate here with my mother, I ate mussels and she didn't, I had food poisoning within hours that lasted for two days. Contacted and left message for manager and still haven't been contacted in weeks, we both commented on their instagram and my mother mistook mussels for oyster in her comment and they replied only to say they don't have oysters. No attempt to acknowledge the issue. We had contacted them the same day. Terrible service, and the food wasn't that good. Had already decided hours before I got sick I wouldn't come back here read more
