I really had high hopes for this place. The owner commented on a review about the time and money they spent updating this place from the last one. Unfortunately that's not the experience I had. The first person I spoke to was pushy and rude. I didn't understand what he was asking and he acted like I was I salting him. No sir I'm just hard of hearing. The lady who took us to our seat sat us right next to the buffet in one side and a table full of people in the other. I asked if we could move one row back where there wasn't anyone else sitting and she said no. The restaurant wasn't even a third full I really didn't think on it sitting to people would be an issue. As for the food, it was a hit or miss kinda thing. The kimchi was old and didn't crunch. Some of the food looked like it had been sitting g there for a long while. The sushi I wouldn't recommend. The first two I tried were dry like they had been sitting for a while and the third had a black hair in it. I'm a red head so I know it wasn't mine. The things that were good are the coconut shrimp, the sea food delight and the mushrooms. My sone likes the few chicken dishes he tried. Overall I wanted to like it but I will be going to Lancaster when I feel like a Chinese buffet. read more

Gave me diarrhea almost immediately. However the service was good. Food could have been a lot better

Food is delicious service was great and the ambience was relaxing. The only thing is you only have 2 hours to eat and there is so much to choose from. read more

the food was so gross! nothing tasted like it looked. everything looked amazing but it just wasn't. also there was a sign that says they charge you for uneaten food which idk if it's true. the workers also watch you like crazy it was very intimidating and not friendly feeling. also the restaurant smelled like fish and poop.. the whole place is a scam because everything looks good so you get a lot and then it's gross so you don't eat it and then they charge you extra. i know your tricks luck buffet. you're not slick. read more

No crab legs. Everybody I know said it is really bad. People getting sick. Website doesn't work. smh. GL

Typical Chinese buffet. Food was fresh specially fresh raw fish maybe it was first day they open. They had some communication errors but i understand its first day. Not much crowded. Many staffs to take care of your group. They might need a big board with price. read more

Luck Buffet - Guess what this is? - Chinese Near Me - Palmdale, California

I'm not sure what the low reviews are but I went in with a group of 12 people recently and everything was perfect. Lots of space, clean environment, and lots of food to choose from. Any restaurant you go to with a large group charges a service charge, it's actually very typical so the service charge was not inconvenient to us or a hidden fee. All the food items were stocked and the waiter refilled our drinks consistently. Would definitely go again! read more

A very clean place. Entrance is very pretty and inviting. There is a very variety of food to offer and the strawberry mousse was yummy Service could use a little work, but all I'm all it was a good experience. read more

Selections were plentiful. Food was good. Service & pricing good, as well. Lots of sushi selections read more

For the most part the food was good. The service was ok, not the best on mannerism and Customer Service, but it wasn't the worst. But I do feel they make too much money for this place not to be way cleaner. The tables are not fully clean, the floors and underneath the tables are not clean, old food under the tables... the plates here are not clean. The plates are nasty and Have grease and food on it... They must do better, it cost too much money to not have a cleaner environment read more

They have a large variety of food cooked two perfection and the price is very reasonable.

Food was not great. Lacked flavor and 99% of things we selected off the buffet were room temp. We also never received refills on any of our beverages. The money spent for four people did not have a good return for quality of food and service. We will not be returning. read more

I come here all the time with my family I am very happy with the quality that I receive I've been to the other buffets and they're not nearly as good and their prices here are lower than the other competitors I have never gotten sick here I've always enjoyed what I got and so does my family the food is good the service is good the place is clean and I've been there probably 40 times very happy with this place read more

I went the second day they opened. There were only 2 tables. We arrived at 7:30 pm so it wasn't too late and the food should be fresh. Unfortunately everything was dried out properly because the food sat since there weren't any diners. The staff was super rude and wanted to go home so they were on us to leave at 8:15 pm. They came back 10 minutes later standing by our table staring at us so that we could leave. It didn't leave us with a good experience. The food was your typical mass produced shipped in to warm up Chinese food, Nothing special. The prices went up since they reopened as Luck barfe. It used to be $17.99 for dinner, now it's $20.99. I might go once in a while if I forgot how had it was but nothing brings me back for more especially the rude service. read more

I actually like the change of ownership! The quality of food is way better than the last and a lot of more options!

food was not good at all. price for two was extremely awful. went to celebrate my sons birthday here and they automatically add a tip to each party of 7 or more. there was only two of us. Food taste was nasty. very expensive and we were all not pleased with the quality and taste. first time going and never again read more

Great Food and freshly cooked, a Positive atmosphere. Restaurant is clean and service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone living in the AV. I found them advertising in a magazine. read more

Luck Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Palmdale, California

This is a review of a buffet. You cannot expect to love every dish. You go for the variety and the value for your dollar. The place looks the same as when it was Hibachi Buffet and City Buffet. It was very clean and they cleaned up well after every table emptied. The food offerings were very much the same as before - lots of sushi, appetizers, a salad bar, soups, standard Chinese dinners (Orange Chicken, Chicken Chow Mien, etc), roast beef, bbq ribs and bbq chicken, salmon, shrimp in many presentations and dessert that included cakes, cookies, puddings, and ice cream. The roast beef was the best I have eaten in my 60 plus years. I am partial to well done and it was. It was juicy, had an excellent flavor and was super tender. I was able to create my own dish from the many offerings (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, shrimp, phony crab meat, and lots of fresh vegetables and eggs) cooked for me while I watched. My only negatives are that the appetizers weren't kept warm enough and there is definitely a language barrier. The servers speak minimal English. We went on a Sunday and it cost $19.99 each plus sodas were $1.99 each. They offer a discount for seniors and military. read more

My girlfriend got food poisoning , the noodles were not fresh but the waiters were friendly

Called ahead and asked "how much for Lunch for one today?" Spoke to Lee the manager. When I went inside it was $10 more. Now confused I asked why and he got loud and yelled at me. Stating I said for weekday and I had stated I understand but I called and asked for the price for TODAY he got even louder. Asked for manager he said he's manager and he doesn't care. I'm 6 months pregnant and wanted to treat myself I would have been okay with the price difference and miscommunication if he didn't yell at me instantly. I come here frequently for dinner but will never come here again for the clear lack of integrity and rudeness of the front staff. It's sad and sickening he can yell at a pregnant woman for no reason other than a question. read more

The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious. There are many different foods to choose from. There's a sushi bar :)

Hibachi Buffet, City Buffet, Luck Buffet, all owned and ran by the same people. They get shut down for health code violations and such, yet come back under a different beginning name. Nothing changes. All the same decor, staff, and food so bad you'll set a new record for yourself on fastest food poisoning read more

I am a very respected phlebotomist here in the antelope valley for 24 years. I have been coming to this Buffet since god knows when. I had no issues until recently.I'm a family oriented woman. I almost always come with my family here. We celebrate a lot of special occasions. The staff was extremely rude for the past 2 times me and my family ate here. The staff would not let us sit together they wanted to charge us 15% percent per person. The staff was guarding us the whole time taking plates when we were not even done with our food and also when we asked for things they made us feel like it was an inconvenience to them including one of my family members who is pregnant. We came in for lunch hour a couple of my family members ate food that came out as we ate and the staff came and put a tab on our tables trying to charge us for dinner as well. In conclusion I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!!! They charged us an arm and a leg to eat food that made me and my girls sick and the food was not good at all, the place we use to love to celebrate special occasions for years is being ran by a staff that is unprofessional...rude.....unciv il,abrupt, inattentive and insolent. Do better Luck Buffet!!!! read more

Today is my first been here with my family, food is fresh, and have a lot seafood, also have sushi, i like the crab most. Service also good. Will come back soon. read more

I've been there twice already for lunch I obsoletely recommend it I usually don't like buffets this one is clean great service well prepared fresh food very good value read more

the food was salty and not good. waiters keep staring which is very disturbing while eating

This was my first & last time going to this restaurant. I was referred here by an acquaintance, I came with family 12/15/24. The restaurant is large inside & appears to be kept clean. The staff do not smile, greet or respond to greetings. Staff do not look you in the eyes or respond to 'thank you'. Staff do remove dishes fairly quickly & refill beverages in a reasonable amount of time. These issues were more or less easy to overlook. The food was the greatest failure of the restaurant. Variety in the restaurant is nice. They focus on American styled Chinese food, think panda express, but as a buffet. There were 4 different kinds of shrimp, all 4 were overcooked resulting in mushy dry pasty texture in you're mouth. Awful & flavorless. The noodles were overcooked & had no taste. Fried shrimp tasted like the oil was reused too many times. The roast beef was the saving grace. It was flavorful & cooked slowly. It peeled apart with a spoon! This is exactly what you expect from a slow roast. There was a limited variety of sushi that some of my family members stated tasted good. I was too afraid to try the oysters considering the manner other foods were cooked. I also did not try the made to order steaks. Food looked good & appeared to be of good quality just poorly prepared or poorly seasoned, simply the cooks are inadequate. There were plenty of staff keeping up with spills common at buffets & keeping the overall atmosphere nice. The restroom was clean & stocked with paper towels, toilet paper, & soap. It smelled clean & had no trash on the floor or any signs of being unsanitary. There was some graffiti in the restroom however I do not fault the restaurant for some of its patrons having low class. At the time we went everyone behaved with respect no one was loud no crying babies, no obnoxious patrons loudly on their phones or having loud inappropriate conversations. No kids coughing or sneezing unattended at the buffet. The atmosphere was appropriate. The great fault was how food items were cooked. I will not repeat this restaurant & felt it deserved a fair & honest review since I was referred to them as a 'good' place to eat. This unfortunately was not my experience despite being the experience of whom referred me. Hope this helps you decide for yourself. read more

The restaurant was very clean. Service is good .The buffet had many choices of great tasting food. It was very relaxing to have a dinner with family. I definitely will go back read more

I've been coming to this place for 8 years since it was Sakura I was never treated badly the place was reasonable back then for the price and everybody was nice the food was whatever but it was okay my wife and I went there tonight they tried to see this at a table with the hardwood chairs and I asked them if we could sit at a table with a padded seat because my wife's pregnant I want her to be more comfortable and they said yes and agreed and we never got our drinks the whole time we ate and then when I asked them why we didn't get drinks the manager said because our waiter said that we didn't want to sit in the hour signed seats so he refused to serve us and the manager knew the whole time and didn't do anything about it or try to give us another server when we asked our waiter if we could sit there and he said yes no problem your wife's pregnant it's okay and then he refused to service the whole time we were there not good people I wasn't asking for too much my wife is pregnant I just wanted her to be comfortable that's horrible read more
