Plenty options: sushi, Mac n cheese, pizza, Mongolian noodles, orange chicken, salad and a huge variety of desserts.. pies, cakes, pudding, ice cream, strudel.. This location is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Very accessible. And the dining hall is big with plenty of booths. Service is great; they clean up your plates quick and the staff are friendly.

For $15 for lunch it's a steal. Is it high end, no. Closer to a low end Souplantation (god I miss you!) but there's definitely something for everyone and with the right expectations you'll leave satisfied. Desserts and Mongolian Grill were the highlights.

I was so happy when I found this buffet restaurant. After the pandemic there's not many buffets out here in San Diego. This has been my go to for the past year since I discovered it. The food is good, lots of variety, I really like their wok station it's my favorite! The price is great. Seniors get discounts, my parents are regulars there. They also provide you with a card to stamp your visits and you get a free visit to the buffet after your 10th purchase. Who does that! They're great! You gotta try this place.

Continuing our quest for buffet places in San Diego, we stopped by Paradise Buffet for dinner. Taking the good and bad, I felt our experience was average at best. The pros: - lots of different foos options: sushi, hot Asian foods, hot American foods, make your own stir fry noodles, a variety of desserts, soups, salads, and even a kid section with mac and cheese, pizza, corn, and garlic bread. - plenty of seats and we got seated immediately upon arrival at 7pm - food was being replenished throughout our visit - reasonable price for a buffet at $20 per person for dinner The cons: - the ambiance is depressing. It's dark and dim inside. - lack of customer service. Nobody greets you, workers do not engage when taking your plates away, and when you ask questions it seems like you're bothering them - the food was bland and uninspiring. It's edible but not something you would crave or go for another round - it's located in a very large and busy complex so keep in mind there's traffic coming in - soda machine lacked enough carbonation so the drinks were flat Not sure about this place yet. May need to try it again...

Food is disgusting and cold, I would say the only good thing was the pizza lol and that tasted gross, the food is just sitting in warmers it crusts over

Affordable and family friendly Asian buffet for the whole family. In this economy, what more can you ask for? First off the food is okay. It's not the best but it does the trick to feed something for everyone. The reason for the good review is the hot and fresh Mongolian grill and sushi bar! Don't forget to tip them! The prices are already so low! Not to mention the fresh cotton candy for the kids. What else can you eat here? Sushi, desserts, and hot Asian food. Self serve food and drinks (extra price) ready for you and your family. Tip: Early bird special for seniors daily. See pricing

Ask the Community - Paradise Buffet

1: Is any of it organic? 2: Does the person who cooks on a big grill in the circle area use oil and if so what type?

They use the oils you select. I recommend at least eight scoops of liquids to ensure flavor and cooking. I use garlic oil, chili oil, lemon juice etc. a couple scoops of each. There are several other liquids, soy, etc. I like mine seasoned… 

Any coupons or discounts out there? (Some buffets offer Five Star rewards, but I don't see Paradise in the app.)

Military and seniors is all I've found

What's the difference in selections for lunch, dinner, and sunday?

Friday dinner and Saturday dinner includes prime rib/steak.

How much is your lunch amd dinner buffet?

Anywhere from $14.99 to $19.99 plus tax and $2.99 per drink.

"I hate to do it, just as bad as you hate to see it done, now calm your boys" As a a non-seafoodie, I entered with trepidation...as soon as I stepped in, the stench of seafood hit me in the face, oh no...I had a strong inkling of what was to come. Disclaimer: Had I not been part of a large gathering that was coming here, I doubt I ever would have come to this buffet. Pros: They had the World Cup playing on a "2017 New" 36ish inch TV with the tags still on it The food was mostly hot The cream cheese wontons were delicious, creamy, and crispy Cons: I tried like 11 items, and only the cream cheese wontons were hittin'. Out of the 11 items I tried, only 3-4 items were passable as decent The food was salty The black pepper chicken tasted like fish The food ended up giving my bubble guts the bubble guts-SHEESH! While there were loads of offerings, which I appreciate, the organization of said offerings were a bit strange. The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions. It just wasn't for me.

Went here for my sister's birthday and it also happened to be happy hour. My parents were so excited for the half-off apps lol. We ordered almost one of everything, some things twice, and a couple cocktails. More specifically crowd favorites included calamari, truffle mushroom pizza, poke nachos, and ahi sashimi, but everything was good! My sister also received a complimentary birthday dessert. Our server was great! Appreciated her patience with my parents lol. They loved YH so much we came back for HH again the next time I came to visit. Service seems to be consistently great, even during the busy rush of HH.
