The food selections are great here! I've been there this past weekend and I'll say I take mom countless times here. She happens to like the chicken feet and oysters which I don't at all. The oysters are always gone, but they replenish quickly! I'll literally stand and wait for them to replenish and take some for mom. I love the fried chicken, shrimp, broccoli beef, and their many desserts and lastly an ice cream cone on the way out. Service is great, repeat refill drinks and taking plates away for more. I'll say if you don't pace yourself, you'll get full quick. After all it's a buffet and all you can eat! Ambiance, it's a wait, but worth the wait. When we arrived they were calling in the 20's and we were 50. They got up pretty quick I'd say within 30 minutes to our number considering it was Father's Day. We just stood outside and enjoyed watching the traffic in the parking lot. This place is always busy, but again worth the wait. I'd say try it! I keep this up there with my top 3 buffets in the bay area! Tomi, Daly Buffet and Newark Buffet. read more

Wanted to eat crabs and oysters which World gourmet always have on a regular day. So disappointed, they only had shrimps and fish. Went today on a Friday, lunch for $18.99, so disappointed. Service 7/10, we were barely there an hour and they served the check. Ambiance was ok, casual dining, not a lot of people. Lots of tables available, place is clean. Won't dine here anymore. I like world gourmet because of the oysters and king crab legs on a regular weekday lunch for $19.99. Lesson learned, at least I tried them. Also, their chicken wings were kinda tasted old, not fresh. They have chicken feet but it had no taste and It was hard. They have a nice sushi section. read more

Came to Newark Buffet to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. Sure, she could have gone anywhere else but to her, Newark Buffet checks off all of her cravings in one place. Win Win, right?? Here you will find a number of items ranging from your typical Chinese food, an assortment of sushi, hot soups, BYO Mongolian noodle station, fresh fruit, & a variety of desserts. I'm typically not a fan of buffets but even I was able to find a few things I enjoyed. Some of the standout items IMO: -Crawfish -Boiled Sea Snails -Imitation Crab & Egg Drop Soup -Fried Chicken -Grilled Fish Customer service was on point- nothing overbearing but absolutely attentive in the staff clearing our plates in a timely manner. Everyone was friendly and I'd like to say a majority of our party left happy. 4 stars overall. read more

It's been years since we've been back here. We came here since the price was $14-$16/person. On Valentine day this year, the whole family decided to come here for Chinese food. The group was 22 people. There is no reservation so one of us had to come at 4PM to be on the list for 6PM. The line is so long and people are patiently waiting for good food. The price on this special day is $35/person. Yes, it's a $900 meal. There are quite a few dishes for everyone to enjoy, the nice thing is every dish is actually tasty, not bland at all. I started with some sashimi, salmon, tuna and yellow tail. The rolls are soggy and not crunchy due to being out so long or the seaweed wraps not too crunchy. The chicken wings are my favorite, very hot and tasty. The oysters in sauce are great too. I'm sure there are something good for everyone regardless how picky they are. The hot and sour soup I like. The fruit and dessert bar has plenty of things to choose from. The ice cream station is crowded with kids and adults too. There's a cook to order station like in many Mongolian buffet, you choose your noodles, meats, seafood, veggies and they will stir fry for you which is excellent. There are clams, shrimps, snow crab legs which are gone very quickly but refilled fast too. Anyhow, for a few people the $35 is good if you all like these food, but for 20-22 people, $900 can order many excellent dishes in a good Chinese restaurant. We may not be back here for another fee years although the food is great the service is very attentive and fast. read more

Solid AYCE buffet spot with a wide variety of fresh seafood, sushi, Chinese dishes, and more. A great choice for seafood lovers as they offer snow crab legs, crawfish, clams, mussels, and a surprisingly diverse selection for the price point. While it's not Vegas-level buffet, it definitely holds its own compared to other buffet options around the Bay Area. Fresh, filling, and worth checking out if you want variety on a decent budget read more

I'm down here with my crew on location in the East Bay Fremont area and it's quitin time, so we need to find food for dinner. I always favored buffets for these occasions with multiple people with different tastes, cause everybody gets what they want for a reasonable price. So we pull into this Newark Buffet. From the name you can't tell it's Chinese, but it is. Not like Happy garden or something. We get seated just fine and we all get just water to drink. Buffets are instant food, no waiting to get orders taken or waiting for the food to arrive to the table, just go up and load up your plate! The food here is pretty much standard Chinese buffet selection, with all the standard dishes, like broccoli beef, the general and his chicken along with seafood shell fish, like clams and mussels. All the food was tasty and still hot, no real orphan dishes, you know, the ones that nobody wants and just sits there unwanted? Desserts were the standard almond cookies and some cake like things I didn't try. Everybody on the crew was happy and filled up and ready for another work day tomorrow. read more

Solid buffet; worth the price for the crab legs and sushi alone. $30 for dinner but had to wait about an hour to get seated - they have a pretty standard ticketing and call system, i guess it shouldn't be a surprise that there's a long wait given the price. Crab legs were surprisingly good for a buffet; decently flavorful, not too small, not dry, and they stayed stocked. The sushi wasn't bad either and they also had sashimi, was pleasantly surprised - not the best sushi in the bay but again surpassed expectations. The rest of the buffet is pretty standard but still good all around. read more

Thank you Newark Buffet for keeping this restaurant on top of class. When i feel the crave for seafood, this is my go to restaurant. Or just want to hang out with friends who have limited food habits like vegan eaters, seafood eater (like me), or an ice cream. The service is always great! I see familiar faces of waiter/waitress so i know the management is superb! This one time when a friend of mine got a flu she loves the Newark Buffet hot and sour soup. It's always fun for me to go here. read more

First time trying this place. Located in a strip mall with easy parking. Huge place with lots of variety. Staff were quick, efficient, and cleaned the tables of empty plates quickly. While there was a lot of variety, overall the food was just ok. Standard buffet fare with added extra hibachi station. Came for lunch on a weekday so was $19 per person. Dinner is more and perhaps better options. read more

When planning for the reception of a momentous occasion there were few locations that would sit as large a party we had. I believe it was narrowed down to one in Newark, Fremont, and Dublin. We chose Newark as it was the most convenient. The price was budget friendly and it went without a hitch. The party was a little disjointed but that's to be expected. It's hard to host so many without renting out the whole facility. This is definitely one to consider when thinking about large parties. read more

Hi, I came today around 2:30 PM, about 30 minutes before dinner time. I came specifically for the sushi, and I was charged the dinner price. I was completely fine with that because I came for the food, so the price wasn't an issue. However, when I went to get the sushi, the chef gave me a side-eye and told me I couldn't eat it. I explained that I was charged the dinner price, which is why I was getting the sushi, but he stayed completely silent and never apologized. Also, we had only been eating for about 30 minutes when the server brought out the check. We hadn't even had dessert yet. It really felt like we were being rushed out, even though there were a lot of open tables. Do you want to kick the costumers out so bad like that? When I checked out, I also spoke to the person at the front, but I still never received an apology. Please train your staff because the table servers are the ones who should communicate with customers--not the chef, who doesn't even know what the customer paid. read more

Horrible, Place has gone down hill and prices have been raised. Came in on a Tuesday around lunch time for my sons birthday because he loves the all you can eat sushi but it was really disappointing. The other food was cold none of the hot food was hot or fresh it seemed like it was from the day before. Website said lunch was 17.99 and I was charged 19.99. My son was supposed to be free because it was his birthday but server said I was supposed to bring his birth certificate it would be nice if they had that posted that information somewhere. Definitely won't be back and I don't recommend. read more

Originally, I thought this was a sushi buffet I went to several years ago and the moment I walked in, I realized it wasn't. Despite that, I still gave this place a chance, which was a bad idea. They didn't have enough sushi options which was disappointing, but the other food options were great! That made up for it up until our server, Wendy, made me uncomfortable. While my boyfriend went to grab more food, she came by to drop off the check and she said "you eat so fast" Um...ok? Rude much? I took small portions not that that's any of her business. Then she asked if I didn't like the food and even though I said I did, she kept giving me unwanted attention. I noticed that she kept staring at me from a corner while I was waiting for my boyfriend to finish his food, which made me uncomfortable. I went to the bathroom and noticed that she was in there the same time I was and I caught her still staring at me while I was washing my hands. At that point, I was creeped out and beyond uncomfortable. I never had an experience like this. Everything was fine until she interacted with me and subtly harassed me. Due to this experience, we will never be returning here. Even though the food was okay, it's not worth coming back to. read more

Apparently from what I have read on Yelp, Newark Buffet is insanely busy on the weekends. I have only dined here on weekday lunches & I see loads of senior diners taking advantage of the senior lunch price of less than $18, I think, which is pretty damn awesome for the variety and quality of the food. Asians know a good deal when they see it! Like any buffet, they have lots of different food options here: sushi station, a fried food station, seafood, a dessert station, a salad / fruits station, and a quasi-Mongolian grill station. There's a little bit of everything for everyone - but you'll get the most bang for your buck here if you like seafood. At $30 per person, the unlimited crawfish, sushi, etc will definitely get you the value of your meal. Service is pretty fast and efficient. staff is constantly refilling the buffet tables. They're also quick to pick up plates from your table and refill the drinks. read more

Buffet time ;) I've been wanting to come here for the past 2 years and finally came here. We came for dinner time and waited around 50 minutes for our table? Which isn't bad at all! For the two of us it was just right under $80. Which isn't too bad, esp for the experience. They unexpectedly have a wide variety of stuff; - clams, snow crab, scallop - raw fish - dessert, ice cream - fruit Etc Staff are also very friendly and quick! We're definitely going to be back read more

Newark Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Newark, California

Decent food for what it is. If you eat the crab legs and seafood then it's worth your money. If you only eat the hot food, then I can't really recommend. Sushi station is average but decent selection. Buffet stations were consistently refilled and food was hot. Service is pretty good. Drinks came out right away and they gave plenty of napkins. Plates were cleared routinely. Usually pretty crowded even on weeknights. $27.99 M-TH dinner $29.99 Friday and weekend dinner read more

Decent place to get your buffer fix. Came on a Saturday for lunch and it was peak hours so waited a little under 30 minutes to get seated. Prices are ok but they do charge you for soft drinks or juices. We weren't aware of this since we were first timers. My favorite was the salmon nigiris, which are always gone so fast so you really need to time it to when the sushi chef brings it out. Sushi section not bad. The baked cheesy mussels were also good. They have someone managing the grill area for stir fry noodles (add whatever toppings you want). The cooked oyster was also pretty good. The scallop shells tasted like imitation crab mixed w cheese and no scallops. The dimsum area and fruit area was a bit weak. Interior seems like they've been around for a while. There is parking in the plaza. Would come back if in the area but would not go out of the way for it. read more

Okay, so I meant to make a reservation at another buffet but this place came up when I did a search on Yelp since I was trying to make a reservation for about 20 people. Good thing was they took reservations easily and only a few days out. The person I spoke with was super friendly and said I could increase my reservation the same day (which I needed to do). But when I called the day of our dinner, another person answered and at first said they won't take reservations for same day. But when I told him I already have a reservation, they he said it was okay to increase my number. Upon arrival, I realized I made the reservation at the wrong place. But too late to try and go to my original restaurant. This place was packed like crazy outside. But, good thing I made a reservation. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and they said to give them a few minutes to get our tables ready. They sat us in their only back room and was super accommodating. The buffet itself was good quality food. But again, busy. And they told me we only had 1.5 hours of time. With a party of 25 people, we wanted to mingle, so we made the most of it. Not sure if I'll be back again, but good food and enough selection to not over eat. Thanks for accommodating our large party! read more

Me and friend went to try it out on a sunday. They told us 20 minute wait but it was like 40 mins. It was annoying because they kept calling bigger groups rather than smaller parties, which was why we waited longer than expected. But anyways we sat down and try the food, and I'll give you my review and my friends review. Mines: I give it a 3 star, only because certain good like the egg rolls was mid, the crawfish was plain, and the pizza look weird. Soup was ok, and so did the chow mein. But the shrimps and beef and broccoli were really good. Service wise, it was ok, could of been better, the guy kept trying to take my friends plate, even though she wasn't finish. My friends review: 2.5/5. Orange chicken was soggy. the taro sago soup was probably the worstand tasted too sweet, but also too salty and the sago was very mushy. What was disappointing was they didn't have fried rice in a Chinese cuisine buffet, although their vegetable lo mein was pretty good and light. Their coconut shrimp, bbq pork, and broccoli and beef were the best foods. I liked their nigiri but some pieces tasted lukewarm as if it was sitting out for a while, and I felt like they should have offered wasabi and ginger for the dipping sauce. Their pizza, I mean what do you really expect, it was ok. Their shu mai was so disappointing as well and tasted like the steamed it frozen and not fresh at all. Over all, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. read more

You get what you paid for. So far tummy still OK from eating here a few days ago. I went here for my dad's birthday, and I didn't know that if you bring 2 extra people the birthday person gets to eat for free! But it has to be your birthday that very day. Mostly came here for the crab legs and sushi lol and it was pretty decent! Ambiance takes me back to the early 2000s idk I think the last time I was here was when I graduated middle school! Very nostalgic for me! read more

I'm gonna remind you everyone comes here for the dinner. The wait is 3 hours during a rush. Sometimes they offer the crab legs for lunch on a weekday. If they do you struck gold. I'm not sure what the reason they had it for. But I was all for it. Other than that the food options are enough to get you to stay and enjoy your time. I think with the rush of people, they could use more staff. I honestly felt like my server was never there for my soda and we got the short end of the stick basically standing in line for crab legs. read more

My jaw just dropped! The staff came to our table and picked up our plates, even though we were still eating. Fork still in my mouth! "We are busy, we need your table" We had only been there 1/2 an hour eating. Sadly, I'm not returning here. read more

I wouldn't recommend Newark Buffet if cleanliness is something you care about. When I went to grab a spoon from the spoon holder, I found dirt--or something equally gross, which was a huge red flag. Things got worse at the Mongolian BBQ grill area, where I saw the cook take food that had fallen onto the dirty counter and put it back into its container. That level of unsanitary handling was shocking. The food itself was okay, but it's hard to enjoy a meal when you're worried about the overall hygiene. If you're looking for a safe and clean dining experience, I'd suggest going elsewhere. read more

Phew! This place is the spot to be for Sunday lunch. I visited Newark Buffet with my family (party of 5) on Sunday for lunch and it was PACKED. There were folks waiting inside and outside and even the dining area was so full. After putting our name down, we waited about 15 minutes. Luckily, my parents spent that time checking out 85 bakery next door. Like any buffet, once seated, you can place your drink orders then get up to fill your plates. They have lots of different food options here: a sushi station, a fried food station, lots of seafood, a dessert station, a salad / fruits station, and even an area where you can get fried noodles made on the spot. There's a little bit of everything for everyone - but you'll get the most bang for your buck here if you like seafood. At $30 per person, the unlimited crawfish, sushi, etc will definitely get you the value of your meal. The food itself is good not great - but you're not here for a gourmet meal, right? At the end of day, you'll get your fill of many different kinds of foods and that's what buffets are all about. It was clean overall and the staff is constantly refilling the buffet tables. They're also quick to pick up plates from your table and bring new drinks. I will say, this is not the place for a quiet intimate meal. Again, it was very crowded which meant it was pretty loud and not so peaceful. Lots and lots of people around with chairs even getting in the middle of walkways. Go here if you really want a buffet (obvi), but in my opinion, you could get a better meal for the money at a different restaurant. read more

Cheap buffett and you get what you pay for. Clams were bland & found a hair in it. Garlic bread looked stale & no toppings. Not a lot of variety to choose from. Some stuff looked questionable. They should limit people on items like oyster, so that others can also have some. Surprised a lot of people line up for this place, food wasn't that great, so I probably will not return. read more

Went with a group of 6 for dinner around 5.30 pm. Around 6.40 pm, four of us had stomach issues. One of the four had uncontrollable diarrhea 2 hours after eating and claims he couldn't control his body temperature. I personally had diarrhea the next morning after feeling my lower stomach bloat and be in knots all night. The only two not having stomach issues had seafood the entire time. I wouldn't go back. The waiters seemed nice though. read more

Puts other buffets to shame, only outdone by Moonstar which no longer operates as a restaurant. Fresh hibachi noodles so good, dumplings so delish. The only complaint I have was the salmon was flavorless and dry but everything else was a party in my mouth. Will be coming back read more

I have been coming to Newark Buffet for over 25 years when a full dinner only cost 13$ and the quality of food was actually quiet good, and I am saying this with a liftime of Chinese food cooking. So I went to this restaurant for a friend's birthday celebration. The proce went up to 32$ per person which is not cheap. As usual, this place has been a local favorite and there were many birthday parties, but it wasn't completely packed like it was few years ago. THe house was half full at 5:50. Let me just say, I will not come back again because the quality was noticibly going down. First off, the not and sour soup waster watery and the basic ingredients ( black fungus, blakc bushroom and egg drops ) were missing. The Miso soup was also watery with minimum seaweed and almost no tofu. Very disappointing! The desert soup, Tapioca with taro was also watery (supposed to be thickened with coconut cream and cornstarch). The Broccoli beef was terrible, Broccoli was hard and undercooked, the beef tasted like it was tenderized for hours, but the worst part was, the sauce was not mixed with the veggie. The sauted muzzles were tough and lukewarm. The baked salmon was barely warm. Overall, it was a terrible buffet dinner and for 32$, honestly in retrospect, TOMI is a better option with more variety. Newark BUffet has been upping the price steadily every year for the past 10. It was acceptable when the food was still decent. Not anymore! The problem is, they still have good business because majority of their customers are pacific islanders and non-Aisans who can't tell the difference. The corner cutting is becomingtoo obvious while the price was going up. This would be the last time I visted this place. read more
