This buffet is somewhere in the middle. It's not top-tier, but it's definitely not the worst buffet I've been to either. One thing they do well is the variety. There is a great selection of food, and everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The dessert section is pretty typical of most Chinese and Asian buffets, with the usual cakes, cookies, fruit, and pudding options. One area that could use improvement is the self-serve ice cream station. The flavors tend to mix together, and it doesn't look very appealing. A soft-serve machine would be a great addition and would really elevate the dessert experience. The staff working the dining area were attentive and did a good job clearing plates and checking on guests. The front staff, however, could be a bit more customer-service focused. They seemed very focused on moving the line and managing the crowd rather than creating a welcoming first impression. That said, we were seated fairly quickly, even during a busy time. The restaurant can get packed on weekends, so expect a crowd. We're glad to have a decent buffet option in the area. It offers good variety, reasonable service, and plenty of choices for families and large groups. We'll likely be back when we're in the mood for a buffet. read more

This was a regular for us pre-pandemic. The last time we came here was in 2019. Fast forward to 2026. We decided to come back and check it out. We heard that there was a new owner so we were hoping they kept the quality the same. The interior was the same. There's plenty of seating and parking. HOWEVER, during weekends and peak hours, it gets BUSY! Give yourself time and make sure you're not in a hurry. I tend to gravitate toward the same food so I haven't tried everything. The white fish is one of my favorites. The fried rice, General Tso, Orange Chicken, the chicken skewer, pork chop, fried fish is all amazing. I've tried a few other items (don't know the name) was really good too. The attendants are efficient (not the friendliest, but I don't go here to make friends...lol). Overall a good experience and if you want to get a bang for your buck, this is the place for you. Weekday Price is $17.99/Person Weekend Price is $24.99/Person To go is by weight and differed during the weekend and weekend. read more

Decent Chinese food if you want a quick fix but for $18 during lunch??? Pretty damn worth imo. Yeah yeah 3 stars what you expect from a Chinese restaurant but price wise, you won't regret read more

Lone Tree Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Brentwood, California

Best bang for you buck. Very reasonable prices. Variety of food selections: veggies, meat lovers, sushi, soups, ice cream, bakery items, fruits, etc. I like their to-go option by the pound. Saves time, no waiting. Floors are sometimes a bit sticky, could improve on that! read more

Just left. Took my son for lunch who is not a picky eater. Most of the food was still on our 1 plate. Food was terrible. Salmon was off, chicken katsu was chewy. Most of the food was just bland. $40s for soda and ice cream pretty much. read more

You know how there's that saying where 3.5 stars is the sweet spot for Asian restaurants? Well I personally believe 3 - 3.5 stars is the sweet spot for Asian buffets, where you just have to come in and try it yourself. Asian buffet connoisseur here. I have to say, don't judge a book by its cover. Because for example, went to a 4.2 star Asian buffet in the city of Santa Rosa. Location matters people! Have to consider the community ethnic background of who's likely leaving the reviews. It so happens that the people reviewing Super Buffet, don't know what super means. It was one of the worst buffets we went to and will never come back. Lone Tree, it's 3 stars average because it's a mixture of good and bad reviews. Have to consider everything right? For us it's a 5 star establishment. Been going here for over 15 years since it was Golden Dragon Buffet. The space, there's so much space and tables you're not waiting for more than 15 min for a table for 4. The price, even as of this review, $17.99 for lunch Monday to Saturday, $22.99 for dinner Monday to Thursday, and $23.99 for dinner Friday to Sunday. They could easily make dinner for Friday to Sunday $27.99 and people would still come here. I would still come here (but please don't raise the price). The food, so much variety of food. The kitchen staff constantly comes out with fresh food refilling the trays of food so you're always getting hot and fresh food. There are so many people here, the food is never just sitting idly and getting dry. You'll see a lot of people get a take out box to go too. $7.99/lb for lunch, $8.99/lb for dinner, $9.99/lb for sushi (ehhh personally not worth it in my opinion, and soup is $9.59 for a quart. TVs, I feel like this isn't really talked about much. There's a TV in each section playing sports or a movie, like it's November 15 and they're playing Elf on the TV, it's not on just some random channel. Or they'll have on sports or a basketball game. Restrooms are always maintained and fairly clean with soap dispensers full or near full, meaning the staff also have access to a clean restroom to wash their hands. Back to the food, along with variety, there's flavor. The food is good! I have no qualms or anything negative about it. So much variety that you can choose what you like and don't like. They even have more American items to help cater to everyone like pizza fries and fried chicken. Sushi is decent, don't expect much but it IS all you can eat and good enough sashimi. The rice to fish ratio is balanced too, it's not 78% rice 22% fish like a lot of places. The shrimp can be inconsistent at times. If it looks darker/sautéed long enough, it's one of the best shrimp dishes you'll taste. If it looks light colored then it tastes just boiled. Another significant thing is the fried bananas and sesame balls. A lot of places don't have one or the other or both. And the flavor of both here is solid. The steamed rice here is really really good if you're a connoisseur of rice and can tell the difference between types of rice and consistency. Dessert section isn't plentiful but it's a lot more than many other places. You have a wide variety of fruit, various pre-baked pastries; and scoop-yourself ice cream. If you're worried about salt, remember this is a buffet. They want their food to taste good. They'd rather over season than under season. You can watch your food intake more at home. But you can still choose options that are more vegetables or protein too. Last thing (sorry this isn't organized thoughts, I'm just yapping about whatever comes to mind). Service. Waiters are on point, always attentive for refills of drinks. They're not stingy on napkins which a lot of places are. You'll see in the pictures I've added, when you're seated they provide a nice stack of napkins for you from the start along with straws for your drinks (which they give you within 2 minutes of being seated). You really just cannot go wrong with this gem of a buffet. It's truly a IYKYK type of buffet in my opinion. Try it out yourself and see what you think. Or don't try it and that's okay too. But I know I'll be back, again and again and again. read more

My family and I came yesterday, for my birthday lunch. The restaurant was clean, they had a HUGE variety of foods, everything was beautifully presented and it was all delicious! Great "bang for your buck"! I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back! read more

The roast sirloin was carved fresh at the station and remained incredibly tender and flavorful. I also really liked the massive variety of fresh salads, hot sides, and soft-serve ice cream available for dessert. read more

The food is good. We always have cravings to come back to eat here. Have been back many times and decided to post this review. One thing is the sesame balls does need to be fried a little longer. Lunch price is $17.99/pp for adults Mondays through Saturdays. read more

I'm giving Lone Tree Buffet a 1-star review strictly because of the service from one server. We actually love coming to this restaurant and have always had good experiences with the other servers. The rest of the staff is usually kind, attentive, and welcoming, which is exactly why this situation is so frustrating and disappointing. The woman with blonde hair was the server we had is honestly the worst server we have ever experienced here. She had a terrible attitude the entire time we were there. Our table was stacked with dirty dishes and she never bothered to clear them. We had to sit there surrounded by plates while she walked by multiple times without doing her job. Every time we asked for something simple like a refill, she rolled her eyes and gave us attitude like we were bothering her. She made us feel like we were not even paying customers and like we didn't deserve basic service. It was extremely rude and completely unacceptable. The worst part is that this is not the first time this has happened. Every single time we come here and she is our server, she acts the same way. She always seems irritated, throws dishes down in a rough and angry manner, and makes the entire experience uncomfortable and unpleasant. At one point she was even pointing at us and talking about us, which was incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. No customer should ever be treated like that. Honestly, behavior like this makes us not even want to come back here with our family and friends anymore, which is really sad because we used to enjoy coming here. One employee with this kind of attitude is enough to drive loyal customers away, and she is going to be the reason people stop coming to this restaurant. Management seriously needs to do something about this server. Her behavior is rude, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable for someone working in customer service. If management continues to ignore this kind of behavior, don't be surprised when customers stop coming back. read more

came on a friday afternoon and it was okay. it was already crowded and there was a wait for some items in the buffet. the staff was okay, weren't rude but also weren't super helpful when it came to seating. The staff that was restocking/refilling the food would wait impatentily while customers were getting the last bits of it. they looked very annoyed. the food was okay. some things didn't taste fresh or well-cooked i tried some of the chicken for sweet and sour chicken and it was hard to bite into. the restaurant wasn't the cleanest either. food scraps on the floor underneath the tables and throughout the buffet area. read more

lone tree buffet is one of the very few buffets towards the Brentwood / Oakley area, as they have a simple, but good variety of foods and dessert on their menu. service is good, with immediate seating and a waiter helping you with your drinks and customer service throughout your time there for a weekend, it was busy, but no wait time, which shows how spacious this place is. food was great: i started with Chinese, with chow mein, shrimps and fish fillets. then, i had a plate of salad, fruits and greens. i also had dumplings, ribs and rangoon. the cream and cheese rangoon were my favorite: i had so many of them. lastly, i had dessert, consisting in coffee ice cream (my fav), chocolate cake and more rangoon. perfect for my cheat day! ambiance was great, busy and cooks did a great with plenty food on time and coming out hot! only downside was them charging me for 'dinner' instead of 'lunch', although i came with time before 3:30, even giving them a call to confirm their exact times. wouldn't be sure to guide with the times, as i really don't know when they start dinner at their location: make sure to ask before you enter. nonetheless, their food and service were great, so it was a mostly positive experience read more

We pulled a silver string, it looked like it's from the silver sponge used to wash pots. It was inside our fried fish fillet. We showed the woman at the cashier front but she didn't seem to think it's a serious matter. Just grabbed the plate, sais sorry and left. read more

This is a favorite whenever my hubby & I crave Japanese & Chinese food. The buffet has a wide variety of dishes & we haven't tried anything we didn't like. The sushi & sashimi is prepared in small batches so it stays fresh. It is usually busy when we go but I never feel rushed. It remains calm & I can still enjoy my food because the tables are organized well. Service - refilling drinks, taking away used plates, & bringing addition condiments to our table is attentive & prompt. read more

I had to visit a retailer in Brentwood, so I decided to make a day of it. We stopped by Lone Tree Buffet for the first time in a little bit. Arriving at around 11:30, parking in front was easy. We walked in and were greeted and led to a table immediately. Our drink orders were taken, and we headed for the food! We rarely go to buffets anymore. It's just not on our radar, but every now and then, it's a nice treat. The idea shouldn't be to gorge yourself on as much food as you can in order to get your money's worth. Rather, it should be to be able to enjoy numerous flavors without ordering the entire menu. I immediately went to check if they still offered won ton as well as hot and sour soup. Yes! That's a score for me. Life is good. If they had nothing else that I cared for, I could get my fill with that alone. Especially since they had green onions to top it with. We each kept to two plates, so we walked out satisfied but not waddling. Everything that I tried tasted as good as it looked. I stayed away from the fresh fruit, sushi and desserts so I can't comment on them. Service was good. Empty dishes were removed immediately from our table. The food lines were clean and kept pretty full. One of the steam tables was so hot that you could see the water boiling. Okay, why only three stars??? We were seated across from an alcove where the drink station was. No noticeable issues with cleanliness but I did notice what appeared to be large plastic bottles of Apple and Orange Juice sitting on the counter waiting to be served. Those should have either been sitting in a tub of ice or better yet, refrigeration. Food Safety rules dictate that foods be kept under 40-degrees Fahrenheit or over 140-degrees. Guests who ordered juice received them on ice, so they wouldn't know that the juice had been sitting out. That oversight costs them two stars because i would have given five stars for what I ate. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration. They were very accommodating with a large group which was fantastic. The wait wasn't long. Pretty good selection of hot, cold, including sushi and dim sum. Their chicken wings were fantastic. Dishes on the buffet got refilled quickly and all tasted fresh. They serve two choice of ice cream and good dessert selection. Service was excellent and lots of parking in an outskirts mall. Highly recommended. Cheers! read more

The buffet is okayish, but nothing near fancy nor extreme. My sister invited the family to try thisplace out. We had our share experiences from beijing buffet to Moonstar buffet. What started as having an apetite of interest quickly drew to a concern for a loss of taste. The food was abit off like they all shared within the same distinct section on the stove. THe almond cookies tasted good if not average, the ume buns was good if not sweet. The mango jelly is very tasty and the sushi covered in unagi sauce was splended... The way it arrange in terms of presentation is good just like all the photos you see from various users. This is where the tasting became an issue... Rice tasted off like the way its storage was not well maintained (it felt liek they took it out of the box and cooked it right away..hence why it has this cardboard after tsate) Broccoli tasteD okay but the chicken felt stale and rubbery and difficult to chew off, it is like your liking the geleton off the bone. Chowmein was average but the aftertastes felt like it has too much greese from the left over chicken and brocolli Coconut maroon tasted like it was just delivered from another baker facility and was stored like a few days before being served... Won ton tasted like chicken and garlic so again back to the chicken and brocolli tray.. Lyrlchie tasted from a can with a hint of aluminum Suatee beef tasted like it has aluminum polish so this was a huge red flag Fish tasted like thr display palette has not been cleaned properly which gives you this after taste that the fish was on set at an ice box and forgot to take it out the next day after. I'll get to the point:: This buffet is in the same category as "FAST FOOD GREASY" ALL YOU CAN EAT resturant, no similar to Jack-n-the-box or wendys. I think they reused some of the trays and had to spray wash the dishes to reshuffle the food in order to keep it fresh but the way the taste felt will make you feel ill or bloated. The waitress / hostess are extremely friendly people.. but the seating is very uncomfortable, if luck is on your side, you might be place on the booth, if your unlucky theres a chance you will be placed in a seperate closed off room where it feels more compact then the other side of the room has. The wait time for a seating can range betwen 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on which day. All in all, if you dont mind the aftertaste then maybe this place would be right for you, but because I visited various location it is far less extravagant then what moonstar buffet had to offer. read more

My son and I went three about six months ago and we were far from impressed. We decided to go back a few weeks ago to see if it was just a bad day and once we started eating we both looked at each other like it was a mistake going back.

Terrible service, terrible server. Lost return customers. I was looking forward to visiting this buffet because I heard the food was good. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. No initial greeting by the host. Instead, an older female server was standing behind the front desk. When I asked for a table, she looked at me and quickly walked away to my confusion. The host arrived minutes later , and walked us to our table. Guess who was our server? Sigh. The same rude server was ours, and grew more hostile during our visit with non-speaking and lack of eye contact let alone absent smile. Our verbal requests seemed to fall on deaf ears. The food is good, but what good is it when your server ruins our appetites? Bad vibes are bad vibes. We left, but do not plan on returning. (We stayed hoping things would improve, but the experience only worsened.) - You do not even deserve the one star. read more

Value: 5 stars Flavor: 4 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Service: 4 stars This is your spot if you want to get your feed bag on in the Antioch/Brentwood area. We rolled in hot and hungry for a table of 14 on New Year's day. Prices are reasonable for sure, and they had all the standards, including a few authentic rare finds. Stand outs were the chow mein, pork chops, salt and pepper shrimp and soups. I had 4 rounds here, and each visit to the tables did not disappoint: Hot, fresh, and where warranted crispy. This place is one of the family's favorites. and will always be a top option when we want to celebrate. read more

Buffets have been on the decline for the last decade, and it's been harder to find good quality ones. Lone Tree Buffet is pretty decent. It's far from me, but it's definitely a better Chinese buffet than the China Wall Buffet in Concord, so it's worth the drive. We went for weekday lunch and they have pork buns, taro buns, chicken wings, sushi, cream cheese wontons, egg rolls, etc. Their dessert wasn't bad either. I really liked their tapioca pudding, fried donut balls and fresh fruit. I wish buffets in general have a comeback. read more

My 1st time dining at this restaurant and it won't be my last time! Huge variety of delicious cold and hot food to enjoy.

First of all I would like to say that I had not been to an all you can eat Chinese buffet in years and only went because my 12 year old granddaughter wanted to go there. I think she just gets a kick out of picking out her own food and filling up her plate. Truthfully it's more about the experience for her and less about the quality of the food. She really enjoyed it and would probably give it 5 stars. However I went into it with low expectations, so in that respect I was not disappointed. Most everything I tried lacked flavor. For example, the chicken teriyaki was dried out and I didn't taste any teriyaki. I wings were plain. I did not try the buffalo wings which I'm glad because they looked messy and the staff was not generous with the napkins. The chow main did have flavor but unfortunately it wasn't good. Of all the things I tried the one redeeming dish was the General Tso Chicken. It was sweet and spicy and I did enjoy it. The staff was not friendly and generally looked like they didn't want to be there. They would walk by the tables frequently but not pay attention if they needed drinks refills in spite of our empty cups sitting on the edge of the table. We got our drinks refilled only once and that happened because I had to wave my arm to get their attention. The place itself was clean including the bathrooms which was appreciated. In all fairness there was a lot of items I did not try and they did have a large selection but would I go back? That's pretty unlikely. read more

Stopped by this buffet for a birthday dinner with a large group on a Thursday. Food quality was typical of a Chinese AYCE buffet nothing special. Sushi station had a good selection.

Ok so listen, overall it's a buffet and it's not located in Vegas so temper your expectations! But for $23 bucks a person on a Sunday, this place wasn't bad at all! How could I make this determination you ask, easy it was packed! Now to the food! It's a Chinese Buffett so most of your options lean heavy in this category. But the food was good, it was hot, tasted like it had not been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time. The vegetable chow mein was fire, in fact there was not a choice I made which I could say didn't taste good. Items that stood out to me were the Jalapeño Chicken, pepper beef, zucchini shrimp, and buffalo wings. That's not all I had, but that's what I'm able to remember off the top of my head. I didn't try but they had fried crab and crawfish! So again for the price you'll pay it's a great spot to check out!! read more

The service was incredibly bad. Staff would stand around chatting in groups, and it was hard to even get to my seat despite repeatedly saying excuse me. Cleanliness was also an issue, as I found random hairs on multiple scoops of food I ate, which was extremely off-putting. On top of that, we arrived around 2:00 p.m. and left at 3:50 p.m., yet were charged the dinner price simply because they rolled out dinner service during our visit, which felt unfair and unreasonable. The only positive was the diverse food selection. read more
