We were craving some crab so decided to have their crab buffet on a Friday night. We made reservations couple days before and there were lots of time slots available. Walked in and were let in reservation line right away. Once we paid we were led to our table. After that we got our crab on. They had the all the things you needed except the disposable bib. There were tons of crab and also other seafood options, including lobster. They had the other themed food areas, and a made to order scampi. Taste wasn't bad for a local casino with some things were better than others. Our favorites were the crab, short ribs, and curry mussels. We liked that there was a self serving drink station. The service was great. They were clearing out plates and emptying out our shell bucket often. read more

I came back last night (Wednesday) because it was so amazing on Easter and it's pretty close to home, you also can't beat the dinner prices on Wednesday night. A couple things: it was definitely not as packed which was nice! The selection was a lot more seldom which I understand it not being a holiday, but some of the food I could have sworn was from Sunday (the fruit lost color and was gross, the cobbler dessert had shells in it) I will say the catfish was DELICIOUS!! What I liked was even doing a lap with the catfish on my plate back to my table it was still piping hot! They do clean your dishes really quickly once you're done with them which I still love. My main concern and I would love to get in contact with someone about this- Last night was a Pho station which they have on Wednesday's, I really came for THAT! Huge anticipation. It's absolutely delicious but to a fault. Unfortunately if you don't eat meat (vegan or vegetarian) they will still put your noodles in the same meat broth. The person before me got pork, and when it was my turn I said no meat and it went into the same pot, when I got back to my table I was picking meat out of my pho. I think it would be considerate to have a separate pot with vegetable broth and possibly even like shrimp for those of us who don't eat meat or are vegetarian / pescatarian. Just something to be a little more considerate of. Otherwise everything was great! The dessert could have been fresher some of the cupcakes were hard and there was a fly on one of the desserts, maybe be more mindful like you are on holidays! read more

Guilty pleasure. We come here often as a treat. It's also a great time while the kids hang out at the kids club Andy husband&I run off to play a bit at the casino. Table game buy in's are very reasonable and red hawk gives amazing comps. Enough about that, let's move on to the food. The Friday & Saturday unlimited crab&lobster is worthy of every dollar it costs. The steamed crab legs are perfectly salted. Lather everything in the warm butter that they offer and you'll be back. The service here has always been genuine and efficient. Reservations are needed- call the day before and if it's for a busy day, make the reservation a few days/weeks in advance. Their prime rib is pretty good, salad bar is perfect, made to order pasta is great. Desserts are on par for a buffet but trust me, get the peach cobbler & top it off with vanilla soft serve and coffee on the side. Their soups and ethnic food are also par for a buffet. Very family friendly and the drinks are self serve. Their hosts are absolutely the sweetest, they're always smiling and ready to strike up a convo. One of our favorite places to go and it's always such a treat. read more

We had dinner her tonight, Sunday, March 1, 2026. We read in reviews and then on their website that reservations are a must and you should make them at least a day in advance. Well, we didn't plan on coming here that far in advance so we made same day reservations and there was no issue. We made them for 5:30 pm which meant we needed to leave the house at 4pm. No problem. Before we set off for our journey I went on Yelp and read many of the reviews and looked at lots of pictures so I knew what to expect. And I wanted to Conquer the buffet as best as I could with my new found knowledge. The Sunday Buffet is from 4-8pm and it's $40, this is not a seafood buffet. Those are on Friday and Saturday Evening and they are 4-10 pm and are $59 dollars. All of these prices are per person. We went to the Kings game around a week ago and our section won free buffet coupons so we were all set. My husband said there was no way he'd go willingly and pay $40 per person for a buffet. So, good thing we had the coupons or we wouldn't be able to experience this. I read that they have a shrimp scampi made to order portion of the buffet and that is what we hit first. They also have scallops. I got them, but they tasted fishy so I didn't eat that part of the dish. Out of the whole buffet this shrimp scampi part was the best. I had mine with: raw shrimp, they cooked it on the spot, garlic, Parmesan cheese, spinach, mushrooms, red bell peppers, purple onions, scampi sauce and pasta. Wow!!! Was that fabulous. Everything from there on out was a let down. The prime was a 0 our of 5. It had no flavor unless you used the horseradish and I'm not a big horseradish fan. I ate it because it was on my plate, but regretted getting it. I really had such high hopes. The red mashed potatoes was delish. The miso salmon wasn't fishy tasting so that was a big plus, but I found it a bit overcooked. I did like the sauce on it. I reccomend the salmon and red mashed potatoes. The garlic cauliflower was tasty as it was a the only vegetable I had not counting the spinach in the shrimp scampi. It was a bit on the dried out side. For dessert I had the bread pudding and cobbler. The cobbler won out by far. I believe it had apples, peaches, and strawberries in it. And that sums up what I had. For the included drinks they had a soda machine that included mug root beer for the win. It also dispensed cranberry and orange juice. For hot drinks they had hot water, but no tea bags, reg coffee and decaf. I stuck with water, but my husband had the Sierra Mist and said it was good and fizzy, which is a huge plus in his book. Each table is given a card to let the bussing crew know if you are done eating or not. If you are still eating turn the blue side up that says still enjoying our meal, thank you. For hygiene purposes they ask that you use a new plate every time you go up to the buffet. If you stack your plates when you are done with them at the edge of the table they will graciously take them for you. They were really on the ball and deserved a hearty tip. For a Sunday at dinner time we were surprised that it wasn't busier, at the same time it was nice to just have a steady stream of people and for it not to be packed. We waited for maybe 5 people in-front of us to get to the shrimp scampi station and when I went back there was no line so it ebb and flows. There were lots of empty tables and no real congestion at the buffet. There were so many things to choose from: Fried Chicken, a carving station that had roast beef and turkey, Miso Salmon, poached fish in the Asian section, clams and mussels, pork ribs, steak medallions, a full salad bar and bread bar, collar greens, shrimp and grits, a whole Asian section and Mexican station including pozole, pizza, fried shrimp, eat and peel shrimp, fresh fruit. Then there was the whole dessert section- sugar free jello, cookies, carrot cake cupcakes and reg cupcakes, cheesecake, Boston cream pie, lemon meringue, rice pudding, cherry pie, pecan pie, bread pudding and hot cobbler, and don't forget the soft serve ice cream with toppings. Would I come back and pay $40 for the buffet, probably not, but we enjoyed our time there and were thankful for a good meal. read more

SUNDAY BRUNCH, 10AM-3PM. $40.00 FOR AN ADULT, WORTH IT! WOW just WOW for a local casino buffet! We opted for a booth next to the window in this well lit space. The Salad Bar had fresh ingredients such as chopped beets, slivered red onions, cherry tomatoes plus more and different salad dressings such as ranch, bleu cheese, Italian, and others. I enjoyed seeing a complete Salmon Lox Bagel area with small bagels, slivered red onions, capers, and cream cheese. So good! The Omelette Station is my favorite part of a breakfast/ brunch because I love omelettes. You can fill it with diced bell peppers, bacon pieces, diced ham, spinach, cheese, garlic, jalapeños, tomatoes, spinach, olives, and/ or mushrooms. The person even asked if I'd like salt and pepper and I said HECK YEAH! Sprinkle it on! It was big and filling. The French Toast was really good! Dusted with a bit of powdered sugar, it satisfied my sweet craving. There is also other breakfast items such as bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns (like the McDonalds ones), and more. During this time, there is also a carving station that includes Prime Rib. I asked for a thin slice of medium rare and it was perfect alongside au ju and cream horseradish. The Mac n Cheese is not the elevated type of one but good. I got a second serving. The Mexican Station with Chips, Pico De Gallo, Sour Cream, Chopped Cilantro, Medium Salsa, and more was good too! THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH TO LIST! I wasn't even able to try everything since there is just so much. The Deserts and Fruits is a bit lacking. But hey! I rather have more main options hahaha The busboy was quick with clearing the tables and you do not have to wait for drinks since you can get water, coffee, and sodas at a self-service area. Will be back to try out their Lobster and Crab Dinner! read more

It's located inside the Redhawk Casino on the lower level. We made a reservation for 18 people and the whole party has to be there in order for you to be seated. I recommend standing in line before that because they start counting your hour and a half from your reservation time even though we were stuck in line for 20 minutes. They also automatically add an 18% tip to your bill because we were part of the large reservation. They have an extensive salad bar, Asian area, crab and lobster area, carving station, Mexican, American, Italian, and of course a dessert station with soft serve ice cream. I didn't see this at the beginning but near the dessert area, there is someone who makes pasta to your liking. As for drinks, they said there was a happy hour ended at 6 PM. If you want drinks, you get it yourself. I was kind of confused as to the tip because the workers were not around when we needed them. I seen one just collecting plates from our table. Overall, it is a good value for the crab and lobster night. read more

I went with some girlfriends for the weekend seafood buffet. It was a good thing we had reservations because it was crowded even at 5:30 so reservations definitely recommended. I concentrated on the seafood. You get a whole lobster not just the tail so be ready to get messy. Luckily they had wipes when we asked for it. The snow crab is served warm with butter available. My first batch was overly salty but the next two rounds were sweet and delicious. I also tried the baked oysters but they were dry and the bacon overpowered any seafood flavor. The beer clams were fantastic but I like clams. They were buttery and garlicky with just a hint of the beer flavor. My last recommendation is the prime rib. Although I only had a thin slice, it was juicy, tender and perfectly medium rare. Drinks were self serve and the come by to clear your trash bucket pretty often. It was worth the $59.99 price (no tax). I will definitely come back next time I need a seafood fix. read more

We made a road trip to Red Hawk to specifically eat at the buffet. Reservations are available which I made about 2 weeks ahead. The lobster buffet is only available on Friday and Saturday. For $59 it is an amazing deal. They also have crab legs, prime rib, and plenty of other hot stations to get your money's worth. Even poke and galbi. They have a salad bar and dessert station. Soft drinks, water, and coffee are all self serve. The service was also very good, our waitress constantly emptied our shell bucket. Overall I was extremely impressed with the quality and taste. I will definitely be back again. read more

Koto Buffet - AYCE lobster buffet $59 weekends only - Buffets Near Me - Placerville, California

Been here a few times now and luckily both were off peak hours so we never had to wait. Each time was just us two, so we actually got to bypass the reservations line. They've got a good mix of selections and self serve drinks area with sodas and coffee. If you want alcoholics drinks, I think the waiters have to order from the bar outside. When we were there for the lobster buffet, they didn't have a ton of restrictions, and the lobsters were actually pretty good, so it's worth going for the lobster nights. As for all the steaks and carving station, because it's a buffet, and it's under a heatlamp all day, most of the meat is just overdone unfortunately... The service has always been good though. read more

Booked a reservation for 2 the weekend before Veteran's day. This buffet is a little on the more expensive side for what it offers. Service was okay; they had people clearing our plates here and there but that was about it. There's crab and lobster and prime rib on Saturday dinners for $60 pp which is more than how much I felt it was worth. The crab and lobster were super salty but I enjoyed the lobster a lot more. The crab didn't have the main claws, just the skinny ones and they were very difficult to peel. The prime rib was a little overcooked but not too bad. They also don't have paper napkins nor did they offer wipes. We had to wipe out hands with only the cloth napkin we were seated with. The drinks are self serve so that was very convenient. The poke wasn't really fresh and neither was the sushi. The salad bar was one of their better options with fresh ingredients for you to make your own salad. They don't have your usual ice cream/gelato bar; just the machine froyo that you serve yourself. Overall, we felt this was rather pricey and do not think we'll be back unless we had a free buffet offer which we do sometimes. read more

It has been two years since we were here for Friday night Lobster. We came to celebrate my birthday. I have been craving crab and lobster and thought it was a good time to splurge at $59 pp. You do need to make reservations online and cannot just walk in as far as I know. I originally set it for 4pm but our day didn't work out and wanted it a little later. There was an opening online for 5:15pm which was perfect but it clearly says please cancel in advance if you are not able make it. There is NO where you can cancel it online and you have to call the 1-800 number and go thru the numerous prompts to get there. Anyway, it all worked out in the end and we were seated right away at the right time. I went straight to the Lobster. It is warm and they give you one WHOLE at a time. It is messy so you get a bucket on the table for discards except NO extra towels! Only cloth napkins. The snow crab is also warm and you can pile that as high as you want. The lobster is severely chewy. I had real teeth the last time we came and now it was a chore. I could not eat it comfortably with my dentures. It is that CHEWY! kinda like beef jerky. I suppose they would rather overcook it than under. I ate more crab instead. The scampi station is the best but tell them to make it small. Otherwise they make too much and it is too filling if you add the pasta. The variety is VERY good of the other foods and anyone can find something to like. I consider it to be the best casino buffet in the Sacramento area. Oh lastly, like I said before, leave a few bucks for the staff constantly cleaning your area and emptying your buckets. Its crazy messy. I do wish they would put out a roll of paper towels. Cloth napkins just don't really do the trick. read more

In full disclosure I am neither a casino or buffet fan, yet I always enjoy this place when I come with a large group of friends. The food itself is neither here nor there, there's just a lot of it! As previously noted this place is ginormous, like most casino buffets. It's best to walk around first and look over the offerings before grabbing a plate and merely launching into it. There's a absolutely vast array of options, from Asian to meat and potatoes to fish and whatever else. A lot of salad choices too. There's something for everyone. I can't say overall there's much quality, but it is competent at best. I hit the carving station for some prime rib and some sausage, and augmented it with some noodles, stir fry veggies, spicy cabbage and jalapeño cornbread. Yes, a weird combination. The prime rib was just OK with a lot of tough meat and grizzle. The sausage wasn't bad and I liked it. I probably enjoyed the cabbage and noodles the best, although everything is on the greasy side. The cornbread was a bust... how can you have very greasy cornbread! I had a couple if cookies and soft serve ice cream for dessert which was good. Most of the dessert choices didn't really appeal to me, although they do have Boston Cream Pie, a favorite. I just didn't feel up to try it. There's a drink station with lots of soda choices. Since I shy from soda and sugar it doesn't leave a lot to choose from. The place is clean, well organized and we did have service as our plates did stack up. The guy was very polite and helpful. The cost isn't bad and I got a $10 off reward for getting 100 points on the slots. WOO HOO! OK, I will return with a group of friends but wouldn't run off to come here for anything special. read more

What a great deal to be able to enjoy the Koto Buffet at Red Hawk Casino. The buffet on Monday - Thursdays are $25, but with the credits available from casino points, it only cost me $10. Great deal because you have such a selection to choose from. There's plenty to choose from: salads, a variety of Chinese dishes and dim sum, Japanese sushi and rolls, carving station, fried chicken, fishes, taco bar, pasta, desserts, etc. The food is pretty good, and the service, keeps your table free for more plates. read more

Seafood Buffet on a Saturday night was packed so having reservations is key or else you will be waiting. Reservations take priority. The star attraction is the lobster. The lobster was good but it was hit or miss with every plate. The first set was overcooked and chewy. The second set was cooked perfectly with the right amount of texture and had better flavor. Tasteful surprises were the pepperoni pizza, sausage, BBQ ribs, and birria tacos. There are lots of entrees to choose from so you are likely to find a few favorites, but keep in mind some dishes will be way better than others. The entrees that were below average and not worth eating again were the mac-n-cheese, shumai, clam chowder, and the oysters. For example, the oysters were small and covered in bacon bits. The flavor of the oyster went missing. Service was attentive. Plates and the food scrap bucket were picked up in a timely manner. Ambiance is casual. Buffet seating can feel a bit tight as tables are close to each other. There is plenty of floor space to get your food and most persons were efficient and knew what they were getting for their plate. read more

I don't frequent buffets. Not because I don't enjoy them, but I try my best not to overeat in general and buffets are not conducive to me achieving that. Nonetheless, I'm glad I used a buffet visit on this place. We had a reservation at 5:30pm on a Sunday evening, but there were plenty of open tables when we arrived so didn't seem like a reservation was necessary for our party of four. We were sat down right away and the staff was super friendly. I started with the Asian food, and was very pleased with the white fish, miso salmon, and tofu dishes. Not too heavy and decent flavor. I'll admit that there were parts of the salmon that were a bit dry, but for me that's to be expected considering it is sitting out under a heat lamp. The Italian food was most of what was on my second plate, and I was particularly fond of what looked like scalloped potatoes and the cheese-stuffed clam-shaped pasta dish. After the Italian, I made my way over to the cocktail shrimp (they were pretty big), and the small portions of poke. The shrimp was good but I wasn't a fan of the poke. It had a strong fishy taste on the first bite, so I decided to not continue eating it. Luckily, I remembered that the action station was scampi so I asked the chef to make me a small portion to finish off the main part of my meal. He was such a nice guy, and made an effort to make conversation with me while he cooked my food, which was so delicious and the perfect portion to make sure I still had room for dessert! There were a lot of options for dessert, and I liked how most of them were in smaller portions (there were even mini cheesecake and pumpkin pie slices), but I made my way straight to the bread pudding. It was warm and soft, so I threw it in a little bowl, topped it with vanilla soft serve and strawberries, chocolate chips, and nuts. Overall, the quality of the food here was better than I've experienced at most buffets, and the place was clean and the staff seemed to enjoy working there. They were so good about coming by to clear off plates too. Despite not being here for one of their lobster and crab nights, I definitely feel like I got my money's worth ($40 per head). Would definitely use my next buffet visit on this place again. Just wish it wasn't so far from where I lived! read more

I've been a couple of times and I've been to dinner and brunch. I gotta say though the price for brunch is unbeatable with buffet items that include prime rib and bottomless champagne. Even with dinner pricing being more it's still worth it especially if you go to lobster night. The staff is super friendly when paying and getting shown your table. Food is refilled consistently so there's never a long wait until a tray is refilled. If Red Hawk wasn't so far from me I would be going to this buffet monthly. read more

They have a seafood buffet on Friday and Saturday nights for $59.99. We purposefully went for the all you can eat crab and lobster. Did not disappoint! Plenty of crab and lobster with the staff constantly refilling the buffet. Both the crab and the lobster were moist and flavorful. The prime rib was cooked to a medium rare perfection. There were a lot of other variety of food options at the buffet as well but we were focused on the seafood. Staff was friendly and came by often to check on us. I would recommend make reservations. read more

$60 for all you can eat buffet at a Sacramento area casino with lobster, poke, crab legs, prime rib, t bone steak, sushi, and more. We got a reservation to avoid the lines. It's in the middle of the casino so you do smell cigarettes walking through, but surprisingly inside the buffet it wasn't as noticeable. I like the sushi at other buffets more, but if you want lobster or other seafood, this place seems to have an impressive diversity. They also make a spicy dipping sauce for your meat and lobster (for us Asian folks that normally try to sneak it in lol). The dessert table was nicely set up too. Just don't expect quality over quantity (who does at a buffet right?!) For the price and what I like to eat, I prefer a different buffet. But this might be the closest buffet in town to get unlimited prime rib and lobster. read more

Friday nights are THE best. We made a reservation but quite honestly it wasn't necessary.

Pro tip: Sign up for the casino loyalty card. We did and got a nice discount on our meal. read more

1/19/2025: First-Born Daughter didn't want cooking at my humble abode . . . She opted driving from David Walley's Resort via Kingsbury Grade to Lake Tahoe then, enduring the slow traffic making a beeline for Red Hawk's Koto Buffett--waaaaaah~she is an amazing Road Warrior! We arrived just a few minutes before 6:00 PM . . . Koto Buffett was PACKED with a gazillion Peeps. Daughter ponies up to the Koto Reception thinking Sunday dinner will ONLY cost $25.00 each but, she was shockingly informed Sunday's Holiday MLK Dinner will cost $45.00 EACH!!!! Welp~Daughter looked at me while I said, "Uhhhhh~let's not eat here . . . " But, she retorted, "Nope--YOU'RE NOT COOKING!!!!" As a result and despite the shocking Buffett's cost, Daughter paid for our Buffett, grabbed the receipt, and she smirked an evil grin, "Let's pig out, Mom!!!!!" Oooooof~LOL! read more

The main attractions such as the lobster and seafood and prime rib were actually really good and fresh I prefer crabs and they did not disappoint especially because they're hot they're constantly refilling these things so they were pretty fresh. The other food was skippable and I feel like the mexican corner is a waste but it does allow them to provide the other high end stuff. Lots of desserts to choose from and the peach cobbler was really good. The buffet surprised me by how pretty it was. Service was nice and allowed to be late to our reservation a little bit. They're very strict on their reservations even though it looked like there were plenty of seats read more

After reading a few Yelp reviews for this buffet, I was a little wary of trying it out. However, we were there on Wednesday and the buffet was $15 if you had a rewards card. I thought that was a pretty good deal and worth a try. The buffet had Italian, American, Asian, Mexican and a pretty impressive carving station. They had an omelette station and dessert, of course. The quality of the food ranged from really good prime rib to not so good baked fish. I think it's hard to keep fish from overcooking under heat lamps. There was enough variety to satisfy most people's cravings. The dessert area was OK, but I appreciated the inclusion of sugar-free desserts. What really impressed me was the service. The staff behind the lines were so kind and polite. The bussers were very attentive and cleared your plates as soon as they saw that you were done. The food areas were very clean and well-maintained. All in all, it was a really good experience for the price. I would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

Koto is still a solid choice when visiting Red Hawk. We visited tonight and had a great time. Food was delicious and staff were so friendly; the staff honestly deserve a raise for how attentive and kind they were (and patient when my mom spilled crab butter everywhere). The highlights for me were the crab, prime rib, and the birria tacos. So crazy to say but birria tacos were the best thing we had all night! Everything we ate was great but man those tacos stole the show. Still a self serve drink station (with plastic cups which for some reason we liked that concept) and we filled up on our Starry drink! Desserts were great, especially the seasonal cobblers topped with soft serve and Koto's perfect, bite sized banana pudding. Yum! Can't wait to come back! read more

Once I heard my friend tell me that on Fridays there is lobster, and I was sold. I had been craving for some good lobster since being back from Massachusetts for a trip and I needed some back home. I was happy my vacation to Red Hawk lined up perfectly and I was able to go on a Friday. Let me tell you the lobster is out of this world!!!! It is Maine lobster. Maine is known for their lobster and so happy to try it out here. I kept coming back for more lobster. It is that delicious. It is for my seafood lovers here!!! This one is truly amazing. A downside is that I wish it was pre-cut. Because it was difficult to get the meat out even when you cracked it. Other than the lobster the beer clams is wow!!! It tastes like shrimp scampi sauce. Which is my favorite type of pasta sauce. The prime rib was omg!!! No words!!! It was perfectly cooked and when you smothered it with au jus oh my. The service was amazing. However, I wish they had given out more napkins since a lot of people are getting the lobster. Otherwise, it is a 5/5 for me. read more

Hope you have enough toilets for everyone in your house. The food was decent for Sunday dinner, nothing special. Monday morning has been a battle. The selection is good but some of the food had the "under heat lamp" look to it.
