Good food. Clean place. Probably less options than other buffets, but small quality is better than huge mediocre choices. Chocolate fountain is a nice touch.... But the best part!? 12 flavors of real ice cream!! I was like a kid at a candy store. I'll definite be back. I don't understand the negative comments.. $13.99 for AYCE? Everyone should be happy. Come, sit down, eat, sthu, pay & leave! Simple!! read more

Yooooooooooooooooo! If you're hunting for a budget-friendly buffet that won't destroy your wallet, this spot is coming in HOT with that $19.99 weekend dinner and $12.99 senior deal. Lowkey... it's kinda perfect for a cheap date or bringing the fam through without stressing the bill. My parents actually put me onto this spot (shoutout to the senior discount squad ), even though they barely eat enough these days to really "win" the buffet game. Now let's keep it real... the strategy here is SALT. Like heavy-handed, drink-your-entire-water-cup type salt. You can tell they're trying to slow you down so you tap out early -- and yeah, that's where it kinda hurts the experience. BUT not everything was a miss. Here's what actually hit: * Baked mayo cheese mussels -- lowkey the MVP * Clams (if they chilled on the salt/MSG) * Mongolian BBQ station -- just tell them go EASY on sodium and you're good * Honey walnut shrimp... minus the walnuts * Salmon sashimi -- surprisingly solid Now what to avoid unless you're tryna raise your blood pressure: * Salt & pepper shrimp -- I'm not kidding, I had to chug a full cup of water after * Clams (again... salty roulette) * Mongolian BBQ if you don't speak up about the salt * Crawfish -- somehow salty AND flavorless at the same time?? make it make sense Other vibes: * No wait at all -- you walk in and get seated instantly, which is honestly a win * Super quiet, no music -- very family-style, chill atmosphere * Restrooms... yeah, not it. Smell hits you before you even walk in Overall? It's a "know what to grab" type buffet. Come for the price, pick your battles with the food, and you'll leave satisfied... just maybe a little thirsty Btw I didn't see no oysters or snow crab legs... read more

It's OKAY, I went here a couple of times with my boss or family. This location holds a lunch senior special where it's $1~2 cheaper than of a regular lunch goer, so I'd say this is a strong suggestion for groups of elderly friends. The food is nothing out of the ordinary, it's not 'bad' but there wasn't anything there that made me go "Wow, I really wanna come back for more of (some food I ate)". The food variety (I only went here during lunch hour) is decent, felt more like a checklist of what an asian buffet should have down to their generic flavors (orange chicken will taste like orange chicken). Their dry dessert options are negligible while their ice cream options are quite good; I always go for their green tea, pistachio and butter pecan flavors, the serving spoons are small so you can grab multiple of the same or different flavors. The staff is simple and quick; they sit you down, always checking and taking empty plates off your table, and deliver the check when you are near finishing. The buffet area is spacious so no need to worry about bumping shoulders. So yeah, if you happen to be nearby the area and don't quite know what you want for lunch, I'd say this is a decent spot to check out. read more

not returning, not a lot of options. Not friendly, not clean... for $18.99, no. The options for the tipyaki (not sure how to spell that) was horrible and NOT topped off. Soooo disappointing and disgusted. read more

I believe we have been to this Buffet twice, coming from a Knotts Berry Farm Theme park with my Son and his Friends. We always asked the kiddos where they wanted to eat, always with different suggestions, and mostly ended up with a Buffet, something where they all agreed to eat, a buffet where they could pick their own food and what they liked and see what familiar food they wanted to eat, and the amount of food they wanted on their plate. This Buffet is just alright, no Wow Factor here, it's not bad at all, it's just average taste, and as I said it's just okay. This place is always clean, twice we've been no stacks of used plates in our table, the servers always make sure the table is free of used plates. Parking is plentiful around. read more

01/2026 We try to use the weekends to explore new places, and the Komi Buffet was a 5-star place. The location is a renovated Hometown Buffet that serves Asian and American cuisines. In the center of the Buffet are the cold items (Ice Cream, Sushi, Salad, Cold Sea Food Items). The food selection around the cold foods are consist of Meat Dishes (Grilled Chicken, Beef Brocoli, Coconut Shrimp, etc). They also have a Tepayaki Bar where the chef cooks the items after you make your selection. Honestly, the Tepayaki bar steals the show, the meats are marinated to where the quality falls off the bone, and don't forget to tip. The seating area is big enough for small and large parties. The drinks they have are Pepsi Products. The location is very clean and well managed, the staff are constantly walking the floor checking with the guests as well as making sure the food is constantly rotating. read more

The food was ok. Didn't get any refills on drinks at all, we were left with our plates on our table the entire time we ate, very packed on the table with plates that should have been picked up, the only time we were talked to was when we were sat to get our drinks and then when we left, I don't think I'll be returning here especially when being on vacation to California. I'm disappointed in the service but the food wasn't bad. Had a lot of options to choose from but over all service 1/10. read more

I get it the place is cheap, especially for lunch price only $15. Our bill was $30 total so the food definitely reflected that price tag. They have senior discount so a lot of older folks are there, we went at lunch it was very packed. Food is pretty average, sushi packed way too much rice compared to the fish piece, other selection was pretty limited, mostly fillers not that much varieth in protein choices. Only the grill station was somewhat decent. Probs wouldn't come back again, not worth it for the higher price during weekend or dinner. Free parking lot, plenty but it was still pretty packed. 6/10 read more

The service here was phenomenal! At a buffet, I did not expect good service, but this place always kept my drink full, took dishes away whenever I left for more. I would give these guys a 4 1/2 star. It's much better than other buffets. I rate the food higher than most buffets. What was good: The shrimp was cooked perfectly along with the coconut shrimp. I like fake crab and their crab salad was delicious. The cooked oysters were done nicely, the round squid pieces had a perfect texture and cooked well. Beef broccoli was delicious. Muscles were a solid B, the chicken skewers were delicious, egg roll a B (not A). The ice cream tasted homemade and was very good, I tried the cookies and cream (very good), the pistachio (delicious with real pistachio), and the strawberry (delicious with real strawberries). The price was VERY affordable at $18.99 for the dinner price. Most of the food was done really well, especially when you consider it a buffet. What was not good: I did not like any of the sushi, I think the rice they used was sub-par and I didn't really enjoy the fish they used. I love sushi, but this place is not doing sushi justice. read more

One of the better seafood buffets I've had in a long time. Still confused how this place isn't more popular than their competitors near by, again I won't use names but one of them is located next to a movie theatre down the road. Love this place excellent service, my brother and me ate lunch here today and we didn't even once have to ask a waiter for anything they are on top of everything and good fresh hot food constantly coming out to the floor. Great spot for family gatherings and to bring the kids. This place is my go to for quick bite that doesn't hurt my wallet and fills my tummy! Thanks you Komi buffet! See you next time! read more

In 2026, finding a Chinese buffet in Orange County for $15 (lunch price on a Saturday/Valentine's Day weekend) is a great deal. Most places are charging $20 to $30 now, so this is one of the best values I've found. Food: I've been eating at Chinese buffets for over 20 years, and I know that no place is perfect. My strategy is to eat what they are good at and grab it while it's fresh and hot. We really enjoyed the mixed vegetables, chicken wings, and the hot and sour soup (which had 3 different kinds of mushrooms). The marinated pork chop at the teppanyaki station was also very good. I skipped the teppanyaki beef and the sushi because I know other specialized places do those better, but for $15, the variety here is more than enough to get full. Service: The service was fair. It was a very busy day, but the staff did a good job of clearing our plates quickly once we were finished. The workers were busy moving back and forth so they weren't smiling all the time, but they weren't rude either. I totally understand that when a place is this crowded. Ambiance: The restaurant is a decent size and looks clean. The carpet looks like it was replaced recently. My only small complaint is that the table layout feels a bit crowded. Bottom Line: If you understand the price point and know what to pick, there is no downside. It's a solid 5-star value for the price. read more

Your typical Asian/Chinese buffet. But for the price, it has very decent quality food. Cheap eats with variety...what more can you ask for

I read a review about this Komi Buffet and the dude confirmed he had been to Paradise buffet and this was superior, I insisted to go there my husband was not happy about it as it was very far w traffic it took 45 minutes from Huntington beach. We saw the parking lot full, I said to myself wow, it must be good as it turned out there was a Korean BBQ AYCE next door. Komi buffet was pretty much empty, it was so cheap we were worried as we get what we paid for but well, we were there already. The pictures of the crab looked much better than in real life, the crabs were small making it hard to crack and eat it, the salt and pepper taste was not bad though, I don't care for crawfish so I did not even try, the shrimp was OK too not exceptional, the beef broccoli was oily and the Korean ribs were bone dry and very chewy I could not eat it. I like the salt pepper shrimp, the crab mixture in a shell and the mussels, other than that it was really low quality, one must be college kids to enjoy this buffet. I tried the Mongolian BBQ, the noodles were a joke, coarse and orange color? what was that all about? it was totally inedible. The ice cream was fine, at least it was real ice cream not soft serve. I only gave a 3 stars bc the service was good and the low price, the food alone is only 2 stars. It was $18.99 but Paradise is only $1 more and it was really wonderful, the only reason I have not come back is bc I'm afraid I'll look like L i z zo, it's hard to get good food nowadays that's why I'm going on a cruise soon, no matter how bad it is compared to 10 years ago, it's still better than any buffet around here. read more

UNDERRATED!! the food was SO delicious here and I would recommend coming here 100% the mango ice cream was SO GOOD. the staff is so nice, respectful and friendly. the tables and areas are very clean and spacious. I also like how there aren't many people coming here since they always walk past it so it's quiet but not too quiet. Everyone keeps to themselves and that's what I like! (P.S my mom LOVES the shrimp here.) read more

got recommended this place. i see why it's so affordable compared to others. i came in on a tuesday around 7pm. there wasn't any music playing, it was just silence which is definitely different from most buffets i go to. the waitress was dismissive. the food wasn't great. not a lot of food options either. the food definitely wasn't fresh as most were dry like it's been sitting there for a long time. im pretty sure i got food poisoning from whatever i ate. i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 10/05/24 for the first time. Super crowded and amazing food options. 3 Adults (Saturday Lunch Buffet, $14.99 per person) = $44.97 SALES TAX = $3.49 TIP = $10 OVERALL TOTAL = $58.46 Seafood: Fried peeled shrimp, unpeeled shrimp, sushi, clams. Tons of ice cream flavor options - including matcha/green tea and coffee my favorite! I can see why this place gets crowded and it is because of how extremely affordable this place is. read more

Komi Buffet was pretty good overall. A decent selection, fresh enough, and the price felt fair for what you get.

The short hair woman server (looks like a boy) was picking a fight with the elderly customer. He had handed her his plate and instead of saying thank you, she yelled at him. One other time we witnessed her mistreated a deaf customer by ignoring him rather than provide him with the drink he ordered. He got so frustrated that he left. Such a good restaurant like Komi buffet where my parents come in a weekly basis should not have a server like this who doesn't want to provide excellent service. I'd say please fire her or educate her or leave her in the back so customers don't have to encounter her especially when she does not want to be there. So many elderly people come here so it would be incumbent of you all to provide them with the relaxing setting that they deserve read more

Excellent food great service very very friendly people will not disappoint. We've been to this restaurant three times every time is consistently good! nice people good food thank you very much we'll be back again soon! read more

Great service for a Chinese buffet. We had a group of 16 people and didn't have any issues. The food was also good considering that the price was less than $20. Drinks cost extra. read more

Came here for a Sat lunch party of 50 people from 5 months babies to 95 year old senior citizens. Cannot beat the private room for that crowd of last minute reservations and the variety of food and services for everyone. Plenty of parking, restrooms are clean, hostesses and servers are responsive in bringing water, clean plates and tables. And the price is unbeatable. Avoid the sushi counter except the edamame, go for the Mongolian grill, choose only the wet marinaded meat in one plate, the other plate only put vegetables (and optionally noodle ), add an egg if you prefer. Don't choose the frozen sliced meat. The chef will cook them separately and hand them to you. Patiently wait there for your food Chicken wings, roasted sweet potatoes, baked scallops are good. Fried rice, lo-mein, noddles, salad, soup and bao as you please. Fruit section is not bad. Leave room for 12 flavor icecream (not ) and chocolate fountain marshmallow, wish they have strawberries . They do have cake too. Be patient and slowly sample very small portions so don't waste food and leave bad reviews. Easy to stuff in, hard to rid them off. Recommended to give it a try if you're around Buena Park. read more

Good food and nice atmosphere! The price was totally worth it if you have a good stomach

For $20 this is a steal ladies and gentlemen. Coming from someone who doesn't even eat their non halal meat, they have plenty of fish and shrimp options. All you can eat shouldn't be this cheap so take advantage of their amazing pricing. Nice place too you'd think by the price that it'd be a dump, not the case. I recommend the coconut shrimp and the cream cheese wontons read more

Komi Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Buena Park, California

Trying to post Question... ugh I came out a long time ago, there was a resturant I think this is it, it offered Asian and TONS of crab every type. Blue, snow, crayfish, they had mussels, claims. Everything. It was amazing and really inexpensive, looked alot like this place and like a 10+ in taste, cleanliness and ambience. Plenty of food, always fresh and hot it goes so fast, is this it and do they still have blue crab TIA ? read more

We've been regulars at Komi Buffet over the years and have recommended it to friends and family in the past. Unfortunately, our recent visit on Friday evening for our son's birthday was disappointing. There were only a few tables occupied when we arrived. As we walked through the food stations, we could already tell the quality had gone down. The Korean BBQ beef was tough and tasted like it had been frozen for a long time. The grill station had no one working it, and the meat had clearly been sitting out. The sushi section used to be my favorite. I always looked forward to the salmon and sashimi cuts. This time, the fish looked thin, pale, and not fresh. I only had a couple of California rolls. Even my daughter, who normally eats a dozen of them, only had three. The worst part my son had to spend a long time in the bathroom afterward, and I didn't feel great myself later that night. I had mucus buildup, which was unusual. We both felt off after eating. The servers were great friendly and quick to clear plates but unfortunately, we won't be coming back. The food quality has dropped too much and didn't feel safe to eat. read more

The food was so salty!!! Every dish was salty! They can improve on the food! I saw one waitress raising her voice at an elderly customer bc she was spilling food on her table and on the floor. She was an old lady! It was very rude for the waitress to raise her voice. read more

The food and service was great in my opinion everything I ate on my plate was very fresh the only thing I didn't eat was sushi but it looked very tasty read more

We went around 3pm after the kids games and it wasn't packed at all, adamant parking, fair pricing, just before dinner was served. The food is good, rolls included. The only thing I didn't like was how many times they had to count our party despite us saying we didn't have anyone else coming. But I do feel like they deserve more stars. read more

It's a decent buffet and a decent price for the selections they offer. I hit up the sushi mostly. Sometimes Mongolian grill for noodles and veg stir fry. I eat pescatarian and they have a wide selection of hot dishes, veg toppings for salad, fruit and desserts and the many ice cream flavors to choose from and the chocolate fountain. Never had a bad experience here. Restrooms are always spotless. I visit around 1pm-3pm usually. Dinner service offers wider protein options. Wish they had more options than iceberg lettuce at the salad bar. read more

Food is not good but but services very bed.In particular, the woman who helped with the checkout at the entrance was extremely rude, and many customers were so upset that they had to take medication. This place is not recommended at all. read more

So they took us to our table and had us order our drinks right away, we weren't even sitting yet. The food was ok. But they need more variety. I felt pressured to eat because they are just standing there looking at you. And brought my check while we were still getting up to get food. They are not very welcoming environment. read more

Had the choice of coming here for 18.99 for dinner or next door to Top BBQ for 26$ . I ended up going for the cheaper option and regretted it. Food was mediocre and did not satisfy me . Resturant had No music it was quiet and very awkward. The "Mongolian" noodle section was disgusting . No flavor and meat is so tough. The only good stuff was the baked chicken and chicken on a stick . Sushi won't kill u but it was not good . I honestly only chose this place cause they had coconut shrimp for dinner and it was TOO sweet and dry. The bathrooms were clean but some of the stalls had no bag hook. read more

Komi Buffet - First and last plate. - Buffets Near Me - Buena Park, California

Pretty decent food/service for the price. It is disappearing/ forgotten word but Komi still carries it.

It's food very delicious, and senior discount. And all staff is very kindness. 가성비 최고입니다. 깨끗하고 음식이 맛있어요.

Terrible buffet. Sunday all day dinner price and you have sliced mackerel and slimey salmon as your sashimi selection. Sushi was crappy. Fried stuff all looked weird with odd white spots on it. Crispy Chinese items were soggy. Mongolian BBQ meats looked old, grey and extra fatty. Now I know why it was so empty for a Sunday at lunch. Feel completely ripped off and hope I don't get sick. Disgusting! read more

The very best selection, freshest seafood nicest customer service very spacious well that we all enjoy a family atmosphere. Highly recommended easy parking great wing of it. read more

We went here for lunch after a long hike. Needless to say we were ravenous. I really liked this place. They served a lot of different foods including sushi. They even had a Mongolian grill where a cook made fresh Mongolian bbq! The place was clean and well decorated. The price was very reasonable. Definitely returning to gobble down different Asian dishes. Highly recommended. read more

Not too bad, in my personal opinion, but I'd probably REALLY want to crave buffet food to come back. We came on a Friday night and saw the dining room mysteriously empty. You see, I've been here in the past, wayy before COVID, so I remember these buffets filling up quite a bit. We got our table near the center, and our drinks right away. I walked around the buffet for a minute, and saw that things weren't quite getting refilled that quickly? The sushi chef was cranking it out though, so props. Some of the food highlights were definitely the sushi, which was pretty fresh and got turned around rather quickly. There were great California rolls, and even some tempura rolls that I suspected were older sushi. The Mongolian grill was great, and had a nice assortment of veggies, can't ever go wrong with And the ice cream had a great selection of flavors for the buffet price. Some of the other food was not great, as the chinese food options were a little dry, some things were not being put out that quick, and the dessert selection was very sad. This place is no frills, folks. But if you really want a quick and cheap buffet with decent options and service, this is your spot. read more

I'm not sure why this place received so many bad reviews. I came here to eat lunch for the first time and was amazed by the great price and food! My absolute favorite is the bbq isle. The pork is sooooooo good!! They even have shrimp that was fresh as well. You pick what you want and there is a person there that will cook it for you. Of course like a typical buffet they have all sort of food and desert! They have 8 different flavor of ice cream to pick from and all were so delicious!! The place look like it was recently remodeled so everything was clean too which is a big deal when you're at an all you can eat place. I will definitely come back here again. read more
