    Pricing as of April 23, 2026

    A family held their celebration of life post funeral gathering here. I was impressed at how many great selections were available. There are more selections available, than the stomach can hold. The prices are very reasonable. The seafood section, the pot roast and potatoes were great, fried jalapeño, salad bar section, sushi/sashimi sections and deserts; wow what a selection. this buffet has ample parking. In addition to the main dining area there are two different private dining areas adjacent to the buffet. The service was very efficient in removing empty plates from our tables without being obtrusive. Great place to eat.

    AYCE Price....$ affordable Food... good selections of seafood and veggie dishes including a Mongolian cuisine! Desserts ... satisfying the sweet tooth Quick bussing of tables of used plates. Reservations for Group parties available in a banquet room !

    My receipt with the blue cup for anything besides water.  Clear cups which is the same size as this.

    We went there for early dinner to celebrate Mother's Day and was very busy for a Monday night and Cinco deMayo. Some items they have aren't labeled correctly and tasted from OK to good. Servers were good at clearing up plates. Prices are reasonable $12.99' for Senior early dinner drinks extra.

    A few hits and misses but overall great deals for seniors! Grab your Lola and lolo bring them here for a great experience of a buffet meal under $15 with drink. Plenty of seating and also private room areas for parties or special occasions. Large parking lot was full. Mongolian bbq has lots of ingredients to be creative and generous with whatever makes your tummy say, "mmmmm!" Great service! Never had to ask for plates to be cleared they were on top of it. If you're a macaroon fan these were one of the best! I like crispy edges and these had the perfect toast.

    Service is good. Our server took good care of us. Ambiance is ok comfy. Came in time where there is not a long line wait and seating availability is easy to find. Heard weekends are a different story (very busy & crowded). Food was actually good (at least the ones I tried). Better than most buffets I've tried. Price competitive and very reasonable. I liked their sautéed green beans and mushroom. Meat loaf was very good by itself but adding gravy or sauce takes it to next level. Everything I tried was really good. Soups, desserts (not bad at all) specially sesame balls and coconut fritters. Picked the more toastier ones for added bitter sweet flavor (it's just my taste). No doubt will be back for sure.

    Lunch price $13.89

    Paradise Buffet in Montclair gets my stamp of approval because the food I enjoy eating here is consistently good! I'm not too concerned about everything else as long as my favorites hit the mark--and they do. The variety of soups is great, and the Mongolian grill stands out with its thinly sliced meats that cook perfectly. The Chinese section is solid, and I always make sure to grab some Chinese donuts (a personal favorite). Their desserts are also a nice way to finish the meal. If you're like me and focus on specific dishes at buffets, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Definitely worth a visit if these are your go-to items too!

    They raised the price on Christmas Day although it's posted here as cheaper.

    Save your money. Came for Christmas and in the entrance screen the price was $18.95 for adults 11a-8pm on holidays. Got there and were told it was $23. Gave it a try because of the reviews and obviously those reviews are not real. This place is horrible. The food has no flavor, the Mongolian bar... a joke. The meat is literally defrosting in bowl they have it in! Normally it should be frozen. Then the guy cooking the Mongolian food leaves the food cooking under a bowl for too long! The food was overcooked, the meat was shriveled up and the noodles were overcooked. The waitresses don't pick up your plates because they are too busy talking about their schedules. Please save your hard earned money.

    (You get what you paid for)... I thought the taste and quality of the food would be similar to the other Paradise Buffet I went to, but it's not even close. ******** What I dislike ******** The Mac & Cheese is watery, the salad lettuce is soggy and old, the cheesecake is sugary, the German cake is dry like it has been sitting out for a while. The baked imitation does not look baked at all. The sesame ball is overcooked. The orange looks like it has already been eaten. I mean, look at the pictures... The cashier doesn't seem too friendly, and I don't know why, but the servers were polite and efficient. Now, onto what I like! ******** What I like ******** I like the Mongolian BBQ. Chef knows what seasoning to add to make your dish taste better. Just ask if you are not sure. The fried banana and the mango jello are very flavorful. The sugar-free chocolate cookie is bomb! I'd also suggest just getting a water cup, add honey and lemon, and make yourself a nice and refreshing drink. It beats soda for sure (and it's healthy) The seafood salad is also something I'd have you try. Not sure if I will be back, but the price is certainly worth the try.

    Unflavored taco and shrimp
    Tania C.

    Overall the atmosphere and service from the staff were good. My only complaint was the taste of the food. Previously the seasoning was good, but today it left a lot to be desired. The tostada for the tacos was watery and seemed very old. The meat for the tacos had no flavor and was overcooked, as was the shrimp and meatloaf. The orange chicken tasted like literal honey syrup. In the past, they had cheese enchiladas, but they've since removed them from the menu. The redeeming feature is the Mongolian-style food, because you add the seasoning yourself. I think they should start paying more attention to the seasonings, quality, and flavor of the food. en general el ambiente y servicio del personal es bueno, mi descontento fue con el sabor de la comida, anteriormente el sazon en la comida era bueno, pero el dia de hoy dejo mucho a decear, la tostada para los tacos estaba aguada parecian estar miy viejas, la carbe para los tacos no tenia sabor, estaba incipida al igual que los camarones y el pastel de carne; el pollo a la naranja parecia jarabe de miel literal. en el pasado tenian enchiladas de queso y ya las retiraron del menu, lo rescatable es la comida estilo mongolia, por que tu mismo pones condimento, creo que deberian de empezar a poner mas atencion a los condimentos, la calidad y el sabor de la comida.

When we first walked in, the place looked empty, and my wife and I almost considered leaving. Just as we were about to head out, a server came over, seated us, and explained the menu. The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

    FANTASTIC PLACE FOR FOOD AND A PARTY!…read more I had the privilege of being invited to a party with some friends who had booked their event with Sea Queen Restaurant and I cannot deny that I was only impressed with the food, decor, staff, and the entire experience. If you are interested in booking your own event here, I recommend it. If you have no events coming up and just want some amazing food, still come here for that too! Amazing dishes are cooked and served here. It is mostly Vietnamese cuisine that you would find here, but hey... who doesn't enjoy this kind of cuisine? There is so much this restaurant has to offer. Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!

They also have a wide array of appetizers you can get, and all the ones we got (katsu, teriyaki chicken, miso soup, etc.) were all very good.

However I think service could be slightly more hospitable, but seems like there's no incentive with autogratuity. The tablet system is more convenient for sure than waving down servers to take the paper, but they forgot to bring out a couple items and there's no way to visually keep track on the tablet. Mussels also could have been slightly better removed from their shell, some pieces you had to tug. Overall, this is the best deal for ayce sushi in the area by far as long as you don't feel like ordering nigiri.

I noticed I was charged for two hot teas. I asked about this because I ordered one hot tea, I drank most of it but more than halfway through the meal I asked for a 2nd cup. They brought it but failed to mention they were charging me for a second tea. When I asked the server about this they said they charge per cup not tea pot. Completely nonsensical. Especially because they did not ask me if I wanted more tea at any point throughout my meal. If they had I would not have argued about being charged for the second cup. But to put the onus on the customer to know what their policies are and then to argue with them is asinine. I complained about $1.90 on a total bill of $85.86 for three. It isn't about the money, it's about the principal and the argumentative waitress who was very rude. They ended up removing the second cup from my bill. But not without a lot of unpleasantness. VERDICT: Visit Panda Express and save yourself 55% of what you would spend on the same quality food.
