I really liked the food and there was a lot of variety. They had sushi, Chinese food, classic American food, salad, fruits, and a lot of dessert options read more

Buffet is a difficult thing to review, as there are so many different foods and no one tries everything in the restaurant. That said, what got me to give them five stars here is the custom Mongolian BBQ, and the price that's attached to it - $16.59 for all you can eat dinner. The Mongolian is TOP NOTCH. Beef that clearly is a decent cut, thin sliced and ready for cooking (the lamb and the chicken are the same, but I didn't try these), mixed in with whatever veggies and standard Mongolian BBQ sides you can imagine - I loaded up my bowl with pineapple and noodles and had an absolute feast. Seriously better than actual Mongolian restaurants in the area! And then you get dessert to go with it, or any of the other food they have. A lot of Chinese food like cream cheese wontons, orange chicken, sautéed shrimp and teriyaki chicken, along with traditional dinner foods like pork chops and roast beef and the usual sides that go with them. Not a lot of drink selections, but I'm content with water so this didn't affect me at all. If you want Mongolian BBQ for dinner, go here. You won't regret it and neither will your wallet read more

Came in and right away noticed that they received a B for their health inspection and would have left if I was not compromised by my family planning on meeting here. Tables were fairly clean and we were sat right away. The quality of food here can be summed up into one word: unpleasant. If you read their recent health report you'll find some things that make you wish you hadn't because it makes you think twice before eating certain things that can be contaminated easily like salad and other food which made it hard to pick something that I was less likely to get sick from. Why is this even up for debate though? I shouldn't have to feel unsafe in an environment they I paid to be in. For example I noticed that the fish someone from our family picked up was still raw! Food can clearly be seen stored in the back and the quality of the food tastes and feels like it's been reheated at least twice this week. The one special factor was that they had a Mongolian beef area where you can make your own bowl which is a nice touch and was the only decent thing that I ate. But alas like any other consumer I made an attempt to eat the dessert and was fairly disappointed by the dry German chocolate cake and flavorless cheesecake. I really would like to see this business bring in more consumers but I think because of management and team efforts to keep standard quality they are not able to break out of the usual customers they get that somehow keep returning. The price this business has remained stagnant to a specific group of consumers who overlook quality for a favorable price instead. In my opinion charging only $14-$25 per person in this economy will not sustain better food quality and limits what can actually be made there. I give it 2 stars for their helpful staff and Mongolian beef stand. I will never return here and will not recommend this place to others. read more

The food variety is large but salty. I spent the night drinking water. The service was ok, and ambiance reminded me of a place on its way down. read more

Honestly , this place is what you call affordable.. ballin on a budget menu . Overall , everything was your basic standard menu .. only thing I liked was the dessert menu & Mongolian bar aka make your own noodles with all kinds of sauces , veggies & protein . The cooks were real nice . They worked extremely hard so make sure you leave them a tip . Food is decent just not my flavor . read more

This place is meh. They charge you $5 for a glass on top of that it's $23 a person. The food is heated by lamps, they were closed for a few months due to a county health inspection failing grade. 11 violations are listed in the County of San Bernardino health department. Their current grade is a B. You used to be able to eat for free when it was your birthday alone or with a second person other than yourself. Now you need to bring a third person for the offer to be valid. If your not too keen on the food even by all means eat up. It's very crowded. read more

The place isn't horrible the staff is friendly and the food is mid . They have magnolia bbq which is yummy. Plenty of desserts and a lot of costumers come. Price is not bad my only complaint is the cooks sometimes whistle while cooking and it's so gross while they are so close to the food . Besides that i recommend the place not too bad for the price. read more

Decided to drop by and try out this place seeing that there's always a lot of cars parked in front. It's a pretty generic buffet in the area, and for around $13+ for lunch, it's not that bad. I personally enjoyed several cycles of the Mongolian BBQ section for the hot food portion. Unfortunately, I can't say much for everything else, and only found the BBQ section to be the highlight. It was okay. Could have been much better. read more

Everything was fresh and server came was great, food was good, drinks were good, good ice cream read more

The place is decent and food is good The manager Rolan was kind to accommodate my mothers 80th birthday party Thank you read more

I thought the service was friendly and the food was excellent. The only thing is that I noticed some of the food sat for a while. However, it is a nice place for a family dinner. read more

Solid 3 1/2 stars. They definitely do a whole lot better of keeping the Mongolian bbq area tidy now. It didn't have a Moo smell when I came in like last time. They have a huge amount of selection. Chines food items and American dinner items. The dessert area was enormous. Tons of things to choose from there as well. Overall I like what they've done to do betteR with cleaning up. As soon as we were finished they would come for our dirty plates as well. So service has gone up as well. Mind you we came at 830pm on a Friday night and they close at 930pm. Good to know this place has changed things around a bit. One thing I do wish is that the food temperature would've been a bit hotter for the hot foods. read more

I've been coming here for some years now and every experience is a positive one! The wait time is never long and they have a wide array of food options! I was compelled to write a review today because Nancy was super attentive, polite and positive! I am glad I came here, but I'm even more glad my party was helped by someone as amazing as her! read more

This place has gone down in quality. Of the food mashed potatoes were watered down. So was macaroni and cheese. We got there at opening, so you would think the food would be hot. It wasn't a lot of it was cold also, the pastries chocolate cake was terrible. read more

01/06/23 Place is mid honestly the food was okay nothing crazy special, I feel like there is a very small selection of food. For the most part the place was alright atmosphere is okay. I feel like the food was either to dry or way to soggy it lacked flavor I can only say that the best thing that came out of this place was the teppanyaki, and maybe that's because because I served myself and practically seasoned it on my own. I highly wouldn't recommend this buffet to anyone it's a quick fix but nothing of quality. The water was the only thing that didn't taste like pure oil and butter. Not sure if I can give recommendations but if your looking for a way better buffet that beats this one try empire buffet in Moreno Valley I promise you that's the best damn buffet I've been to it's worth the drive and way more of a selection !!!! Anyway I would love to give paradise a second chance however the food just wasn't giving... read more

I got food poisoning from this place and I'm not very satisfied with the food that I received. This is my first time coming and my last. I felt sick after eating and my stomach wasn't feeling good. I have never gotten sick like this over food. The food there isn't even heated at the temperatures they are supposed to be. I've worked in a buffet before and if the food reaches under a certain temp and is not eatable we Throw it out and bring out a fresh batch. The batches there are left until it's empty even if it's cold.. they won't make any fresh food until it's completely gone. I have no complaints about the staff they were polite. read more

Gonna be honest, I mostly go there just for the Mongolian food but man if always delivers every single time, its the highlight of the buffet for me read more

All i gotta say is it was 1/10 stars. Only because i could actually consume the food. Taste was like if a blind Guinea pig cooked it.

This place is a great value. Pricing: Weekday lunches are just a little bit over $13 per person for an adult. They charge extra if you want soft drinks or coffee. Cleanliness: The people working there do a good job of keeping it clean, wiping down everything often. There were disposable gloves and hand sanitizer set out at the food stations, and all the hot foods were very hot; leading me to feel good about food safety. The servers do a great job of taking away your empty dishes. They have a Mongolian barbecue grill, which seems really popular. This is standard buffet fare: fast food -type Chinese food, fried chicken& fish, grilled/baked tilapia, salmon, meatloaf, taco bar, etc. Lunch doesn't have any steamed or grilled shrimp in the shell but I've seen it there at dinner time. They used to have sushi rolls a few years ago , but not any longer. There's a nice salad bar, and a surprisingly large, nice dessert bar with a lot of choices, including hand-scooped ice cream and frozen yogurt. Payment : they accept cash, debit, and credit card. You can add a tip for your server to your total and they will give you back some cash to tip your server. Overall a great value for what you get. read more

Paradise Buffet - Meal prices as of April 2023 - Buffets Near Me - Montclair, California

This restaurant is not the same anymore they remove octopus and clams and other food very expensive

I have passed by this place so many times and never tried. Today I was in the mood for buffet and was going to head to the usual spot but after searching Yelp Paradise Buffet popped up reminding me it was out there so I decided to check it out. Wow I can't believe Ive been missing out. This place is now my new to go to buffet. Paradise has it all. It was clean, has so much variety of different food with great flavor, decent prices, friendly staff, and even Mongolian BBQ. I am definitely going back again and again. read more

Outstanding service from Alexa at the Register. My sister in Law didn't have her ID with her so that she could get her Birthday free Buffet and Alexa said if you have a Facebook post indicating it's her Birthday that's all I need. Thank you for Making her birthday a special one. read more

Found a cockroach running across the counter when I went to go grab a fork. Me and my boyfriend still ate there after I told him the news... Lol. Me and him enjoyed each others company and made our way around the entire Buffett for the long list of options they have. I was impressed by their crawfish, grilled chicken teriyaki and their salad bar. My boyfriend enjoyed their banana pudding although he loves cinnamon rolls... their cinnamon rolls looked very sad because they looked dry :( read more

For about $15 lunch, food selections are reasonable. Busy even around 2pm on weekdays. Server was good at clearing our table. Nothing exciting to mention at this buffet. read more

Went for weekday lunch. Honest review. Sorry barely C- Good: clean new looking. Same basic layout as prior HomeTown buffet BAD: 1. Quality of food is poor 2. Agree 100% other reviewers, the cooked foods are lukewarm at best even when I saw the guy just fill it up 3. Soggy salty food 4. Desserts typical of Chinese buffet looks good but low quality At $15 for lunch. $3 soda plus tax tip. This place is NOT worth it unless you like spending hard earned money on low quality,lukewarm,disappointing food. We did leave young kid bussing out table 20% tip because this crowd likely won't tip read more

Rating buffets is usually a challenge for me. You're obviously there for the sheer amount of food, and sometimes the variety that a buffet can provide - but you'd hope that the quality of some food items would be satisfactory. I was quite disappointed, as it took me awhile to find something that I actually wanted to eat. Most things were bland or gross to the point where I didn't want to finish most things on my plate. I didn't bother with the Mongolian Grill since the wait was kind of long, so I can't evaluate that. The staff seemed to clear the plates from the tables pretty fast, so they had that going for them, and they did try to take some precautions with cleanliness by trying to provide gloves to people at the buffet lines. So, they got that going for it. read more

Paradise Buffet had a large selection of lunch items that one would expect from a typical Chinese buffet. I was surprised by the variety of desserts that were available (they serve thrifty ice cream). Not the highest quality food, but for $15 it is worth the money! COVID protocol: Very clean, most people wore masks, and gloves were available for customers. read more

You know in movies they show these buffets or restaurants in the middle of nowhere that are run down and you can't help but wonder "why is everyone eating there?" Well this is the place. I was dragged by a friend who wanted to see their nephew who works there and to say it was an experience is an understatement. Cons. -Food was terrible and did not look fresh nor safe to eat. -The serving trays and warmers were old and in desperate need of repair. -Cleaning methods seemed few and far between. -Environment wasn't inviting and definitely didn't make you want to eat -Would not ever go back or recommend. -In need of a complete overturn. Pros. -Surprisingly great customer service across the board. read more

Honestly, it's pretty decent for what it is. The price is fair with a good amount of variety. I tried most of the food and would say ~85% of the food are good and if not good, average at least. For some reason the soft serve machine was always having issues, but it got fixed after a while every time. Mongolian BBQ has a huge line, so maybe head there first if there are less people. Did not have or encounter any issues with the service. The waiter was nice and took our plates in a timely manner. All food and plates were consistently being stocked as well. I came on a Sunday night 6pm and there was a line outside, approximately 40 minute wait. Ambiance inside was quite loud with a lot of people. Seats were dirty though so I had to use my own wipes. Overall - worth for its price read more

This place is back open and COVID compliant! You have to wear gloves when going to the buffet bar and hand sanitizer is also provided! The food was fresh and they kept bringing it back! There was a line (waited like 45 min - 1 hour to get in) when I arrived for dinner on a Saturday at around 6 pm so be mindful of that when you plan to come for dinner. They only allow so many people to come in at once so that is why they make you wait. First time being here and will definitely come back!

The duty of a food critic is to taste and critique with all honesty and humility. Paradise Buffet is an oasis in the midst of a desert of fast food franchises and strip mall mom and pop stores, and even further, larger chain restaurants. The food is just OK. It's nothing to be admired but what they lack in taste they make up for in service and a wonderful family atmosphere. All workers here are very nice and will help with a smile and a great attitude. There are all kinds of food for everyone in your family. In the mood for ribs, they got it. Chinese? They got it. Mexican? They got it. Seafood? Yes. Pizza? Why even ask... they have it! I biggest novelty of this place is their Mongolian grill. It is front and center of the entire restaurant. It's a very nice touch and allows patrons to customize their dish. Will I come back? Only if my girlfriend asks me too. read more

Ok, this is just a review of the reviews for this restuarant. The reason why is that PARADISE BUFFET is opening a restuarant just down the street from me here in SAN DIEGO. So far the reviews have been mediocre but I am intrigued. Some reviews really good while others just bad. This new buffet will be operating at a previous HOMETOWN BUFFET location that happened to be one of the better ones, so not gonna lie, I'm kind of excited!!! The location has a lot going for it, with several other restuarants recently opening within it's shopping center. Soo, if anyone from PARADISE BUFFET San Diego can reply and let me know when the GRAND OPENING is, that would be great! read more

I finally went again after not going for a long time and I don't think I'll go here anymore. The quality of the food is just horrible. Life is way too short to eat this food. Pretty much all the foods on the left side are just different foods in the same sauce. Had I read about roaches and pests before, I wouldn't have eaten here the several times in total that I did. read more

They are great but the price needs to be a lil cheaper for the over cooked food that they serve

Dinning would be a lots more pleasure with just regular music instead of the Spanish music that they play ALL THE TIMES, also there are some workers that also make your dinning experience in pleasure, they look at your receipt and make the head count and count the drinks, I find this very annoying. When they place me in that section with those workers, I request to be in another section or else I'll leave. Other then that. The place is clean, the food is fresh and good. I would have given a 5 STAR, I if its was not for the MUSIC and some annoying workers. read more

3 ate for fifty five dollars before three pm. It's starting to get a bit hoody after though.

100% reccomend. Best food ever! They have a great selection of food and ice cream and pastries. Great for the whole family. Decent price for all you eat. read more

The variety is staggering. The taste is underwhelming. Max 2 trips and you'll be good to go. Unless you hungry. Great bang for buck I guess as evidenced by demographic/target market. read more

It's an okay buffet. I went there on a Monday. I was expecting that they serve at least mussels but there's none. They have clams, baked tilapia and cod, no salmon although there was a sign on the counter said "salmon" but it was tilapia. Pot roast was overcooked like it's a stringy cornedbeef already. The tempura shrimp was good though and there are lots of deserts. There's no crab legs here. But for the price, it's not bad. If you want more choices of seafood do not go here. read more
