Pizza ribs chicken noodles

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

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...

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

Bunk food don't come here save your money

food was trash. Fried rice undercooked still grainy Noodle super salty. Shrimp raw. I'm not being dramatic I ate a lil of everything and honestly won't be coming here again. Came because they had good reviews lol whoever eats here must not like great food. Don't come here save your money !!!!

Verry good food and desserts and shrimp! I can not put into word how great the food and customer service is at this restaurant! All the need is old fashion hard ice cream would make them perfect! Greate people! Best stir ever!

Food was good. Not great but good. Floors were sticky due to customers I'm sure. Prices are great for what it is.

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… Read more

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

A plentiful meal, wonderful atmosphere and lots of warmth made this a birthday dinner to remember.

We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

Ambiance feels very high end, even for a family friendly buffet. Chairs were comfortable and tables well spaced out. It seems like the food varies by day. I had read about crepes and chilaquiles and was sad to find neither. But the omelet station was delicious, bacon cooked to perfection, hot food was rotated out regularly, and pastries were yummy. Overnight oats were the surprise sleeper. Absolutely delicious. Service was lacking. There were plenty of staff, but it took way too long to get my cream for my first pour of coffee. And when I asked for a refill, I waited 10 minutes before she returned with the check but still no coffee. Overall it seems like they are still trying to find their footing. Aesthetically beautiful but some weird misses. For example, the bathroom is gorgeous and almost insta worthy, but then there's no mount for the toilet covers so they are just jammed behind the toilet like an afterthought. I would return for a special promo but don't think it's worth the full price ticket.
