Your typical buffet. my fav is the crawfish. They're huge and meaty. The price per child is their age. Plenty of selections to choose from. Definitely take advantage of the gengis khan style grill. read more

I'm into salads but they took away the alfalfa sprouts. The healthy oatmeal cookies they took away too. They should remove the cotton candy.

Service and place are super nice. Clean fast service and spacious. Now food! I can't swallow the sushi. But I lived in Japan so my palate for Japanese food is different to someone that loves a basic sushi. It's like costco sushi I just can't eat it. If for you sushi is sushi this is ur jam lol Mongolian bbq is decent. I can't say anything bad about this place. It's very reasonable for what you paid for. But me and my husband we don't eat just to eat and fill our belly. We eat for our souls But $14 for lunch? Thats just 1 panda express meal lol so I'd rather eat here! Go give it a try. This can be for you. Its just not for us. We left the place very very full. I give u that! read more

Average. Nothing great. But the price is little higher for the variety of food. But is better than the one is closer Sushi.... Besides the AMC. Just rice and more rice for the price. read more

I highly recommend this buffet, their food is decent, and the price is especially for the senior discount Monday through Thursday. You can't beat it, we go here at least twice a week love their pot roast and my husband loves their shrimp. My daughter, of course is the sushi queen so you know what she loves so try it. You can't go wrong. read more

Decent buffet for the price. The staff are very friendly. Lots of space to move around and didn't feel rushed to leave at all.

I came here to celebrate my mother's birthday after a day filled with grief. I came in with 1hr30min to closing hours. All of the buffet was still filled with food surprisingly. I will say that they start putting food away and cleaning the grills before 8pm. If there is anything out they will not restock. I will say it's best to come when they first open or not towards closing hours. It's very packed at night too and all day. Overall a pleasant experience and the food was still fresh even though limited options. read more

Paradise Buffet - Outside - Buffets Near Me - San Diego, California

Good family value. There is nothing really wrong with the buffet. Food was above mediocre. The only real complaint is trying to get clean dishes and silverware. The service at the front is really non-existent, but I digress it's a buffet. Family favorites were the pot roast, shrimp, sushi (fam enjoyed this, I found it ok), the little coffee cakes, and ice cream. Personally, I found the desserts to lack flavor and on the dry side. It's definitely a value for the fam compared to fast food prices these days. read more

Fine place of dining. Just don't eat too much because you'll feel sick. Seating is pretty crowded. You need to find a table that isn't 12 inches way. they set them up so close. I know a person that works there and he/she/it told me that they are very strict about keeping everything clean. One negative comment is that the frozen and thawed oranges suck. read more

Just did not like the food. No problems with service. Place is nice. Food needs to be improvements. Dressings are not labeled correctly; don't know what dressings you're adding to your salad. Sushi rolls are disappointing; with some more effort the rolls will be great. Maybe add some hot ones. Other food just didn't like. read more

I love the food, I've been here multiple times with my friends it is our go-to hang out spot!! BRING BACK THE CRAWFISH PLSSSS it's my favorite overall this place is GREAT!!!!!!! Akxhsbsjxgsg heheh thank read more

In the location of the former Hometown Buffet that use to be here, for the price this is a great value. Multiple types of buffet sushi, some simple American and Chinese dishes, a salad bar that most skip, a Mongolian Grill, and a good dessert selection. I would have went 4 star, but one must inspect the plates before using them; though washed some aren't clean with residue from its previous usage remaining clinging to the plate. read more

My husband and I have visited this place twice. Once for weekday lunch and recently for dinner, and both times food have been great. Their service is top notch and food is pretty good for simply $20 per person for dinner. They also offer 10% off for military discount which they also give a free beverage. I thought that was super nice of them too. The dessert is pretty wide spread for being a Chinese buffet , and the only difference we noticed between lunch and dinner was the prime rib. It tasted good for being part of a buffet. All of the service workers were awesome and parking was easy. We simply felt bad that we couldn't include the tip onto on bill the first time for lunch so we gave them tip with a bunch of $2 bills but for dinner, we came prepared . The last visit for dinner, we did overhear the workers stating that there were patrons who took advantage of the buffet systems simply because those people came before the 4pm mark and paid the lunch price and stayed til past 8pm without giving them a tip which is so uncalled for. Don't be those people to ruin everything for all of us. My husband and I stayed roughly 90 mins but arrived at 7pm and tipped 20% regardless. read more

If you're a senior Monday-Thursday is an awesome deal. They offer a good selection of food, and it appears to be clean. The cotton candy is an added bonus. Give it a try read more

Dealt with Claudia, the worst customer experience ever. Attempted to have dinner with my mother and son. As they were looking around, she demanded that they needed to be present. "That's why there's a line". I preceded to tell her that they are looking around. She then rudely tells me that if I don't want to eat here then I can leave. Her name is Claudia, she is the manager with no morale or obvious customer service skills. read more

Plenty of food selections so bring your appetite. Good service and the ambience is nice. Lots of parking.

Ok here goes !! Wife and I had been wanting to try this place since it took over for the Home Town buffet. The first thing I noticed was how clean and organized it was. We wife and I came in after seeing a movie at the Palm 24 .It was a Holiday (memorial day).Ok back to the food!! Wife and I are both over 62 years old which meant we were getting the senior price .The food was very tasty and a lot . We went right to the Mongolian grill !! Very tasty with what ever we wanted in it. Next tried a little sushi which was ok !! A small cup of hot an sour soup again ok a little dessert to round off our lunch ! All in all very tasty.Look I've had better Asian food but I didn't pay $100 at bamboo sushi which is the bomb.or $50 at any Chinese restaurant in town or dessert at D.Z. Akin's but I paid less than $30 for 2 old peeps lunch which in my book was a Great Deal !! read more

The Good: Prices are reasonable (around $20), Mongolian style grill, and a variety of choices. The Bad: The food was bland, no crab legs, and the the rice they use for sushi was just plain old rice. It wasn't sushi rice which is made out of vinegar/sugar/salt. read more

Echoing either Yelp reviewers: a good variety of buffet foods, but most not very good. Most meats were tough. Soups were mildly flavored. Desert cakes dry and flavorless. A bit of wait checking in as the hostess took a phone call, then dealt with a group of seniors "arguing" over who got to pay. :-) I'll return if other Yelpers report an improvement. In the mean time, I'm back to my favorite SD buffet, Great Plaza. read more

LUNCH TIME, at 11:30pm, upon entering you see Buffet/cafeteria food in abundance. I was with my family of 8 and after paying and receiving our drink cups from the cashier we left unescorted to search for a table. There was not a huge crowd and there were plenty of tables for us to choose. The lines to the eats flowed well with no significant wait with exception to the stir fry station featuring 1 fry chef and large flat fry station. No food items I tried were outstanding but what can you expect from a business designed to feed the masses, you come here to feast regardless if you are hungry or not. Some mentions; limited selection at the salad and Sushi bar, pork ribs dry not pull off bone also lacked any significant taste, with all else average fare. As we finished each plate of food the plating was quickly picked up by the table bussers with them wiping off some extra crumbs and spills from the empty spaces on our table leaving our area clutter free. This place gets loud; think AMPLIFIED BOILING WATER; with conversation, plating and utensils being moved and cooks cooking. There was some dodging as people scurried about and I found the floor spacing for evasive maneuvers sufficient. A big gripe I have with the facility was the smallish restroom that patrons leave littered and with liquids spilled on deck. The floors were slippery, didn't get cleaned for a long while and when it was mopped became unsightly from the constant trampling by the frequent traffic. There is plenty of parking on this side of the Dennery Rd strip mall but if you transport in a large SUV like my Chevy Tahoe you will find the line spacing tight; society has those drivers that have no experience parking with respect to the lines and spacing; I find that parking at the ends here precious. The kids really enjoyed the experience, with their ability to walk around, pick and choose what they wanted to eat and not having the adults be over critical of them in comparison to the regular restaurant ambiance. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. SPOILED FOOD. My husband was so excited to bring us here. After waiting for a high chair and to be seated, we made our way to the buffet. We had to search for clean plates as food was still on them. Finally get to pick our food. We sat down to eat and we were leaving full plates to be picked up. The food did not taste good and some didn't have flavor. Like the mashed potatoes. The sushi was sticky and had strong fish smell. They didn't pick up our plates. My husband had to keep asking them to. Bless you. After leaving plate after plate, we just got up without really eating anything. We just tried the food out and left it. My husband, went to talk to the manager to let her know the sushi is spoiled, the egg rolls were too, the dishes were dirty and they weren't picking up plates. She didn't speak English, so he asked me to go talk to her. As I was standing behind her, she was bad mouthing us. I let her know I was there and why we are requesting at least 50% off. She didn't even apologize, and she rudely said no because we had been there for 20 mins. I according to the receipt. I told her that's how long it took to be seated, get a high chair, go get food, run around looking for a waiter to do their job and we didn't end up eating anything. She said sorry you were here too long and there's nothing she could do. When we got home, my daughters who ate the sushi ended up getting food poisoning. We paid $78 for 2adults and 2 kids and all we asked was half off. Not the whole thing. This place is just gross. Don't eat here. read more

Good food, I liked the set up also they have Mongolian food, every time I have been here it's clean neat friendly staff

Disappointed! Food is soggy,too salty/sweet, and worst of all... " hot foods" is lukewarm at best. I had read other reviews mentioning cold/lukewarm food. I went back to sample different dishes. Same. Very low quality lukewarm food swimming in sauce with salt,sugar,fat. Don't get me wrong I want that stuff but at least make it taste good and served hot. Sushi is same low quality mystery sushi. The lady making them made them neat and pretty. Review just based on food quality. Lunch time $15 ,$3 soda plus tax and tip is NOT worth this place. I really was excited to try this but turned out to be another cheap buffet. If you like quick cheap low quality lukewarm food this is your place. Otherwise, Skip this place and just spend same amount at Chik Fil A for a delicious meal. read more

Not much to say about this buffet when compared to others. One thing to point out is that they offer a Mongolian grill as part of the buffet. Other than that, the food was mediocre, as with most Chinese food buffets in the area. Nothing seemed too great or tasty. TWO STARS. read more
