Not good.
Steven M.

My single biggest mistake since moving to California was thinking it was a good idea to go to Shakey's Pizza Parlor. It was my choice to pick where we ate, so when we drove by a Shakey's I figured "why not give this place a shot, we see them all around the area".....boy oh boy. We came to this location around noon on a Sunday and the place was pretty busy since it was lunch time. One thing I did NOT know about this place is that it's kind of a buffet style situation, which is usually not a great sign for the quality of the food, and in this case, it sure wasn't. After paying for the two of us, we grabbed a plate and got in line to see the spread that was pretty much just a few different styles of pizza, mashed potatoes, fries, fried chicken, meatballs, pasta, and probably some other random stuff I did not bother to try. How was the food you ask? Well, every single thing I ate was worse than what you would get inside of a TV dinner and it was probably some of the worse food I've ever had in the state of California. Overall, Shakey's Pizza Parlor is a place that I will absolutely never visit again and might even gag the next time I drive by one. The food here was the most bland crap I've probably ever eaten and I hope to forget about this immediately.

Pepperoni and sausage.  What's left.

It's a Friday night PCM kinda night! Ordered a medium PCM. Pan Pizza with pepperoni and sausage. Chicken strips, 8 tablespoons icee chicken snd Mojos. Showed up. Flashed my order info. The guy was very quick and efficient and packed me up with the grub! Added plates. Parmesan cheese. Crushed red peppers. Ketchup. Plates. Forks. Napkins. The whole 9! Place was pretty packed for a Friday. But I grabbed my order and skaddeled!!! Vamonos! Service was quick. Easy. Friendly. Food? Minus 1 star. Chicken strips kinda dry. Chicken was kinda salty. And pizza kinda soggy. Not usually like this. But today it was. Will I return. More than likely. Shakey's is like a twice a year kinda place for us. 3 tops. 1 and 1/2 Snapz up in Zzzzz formation

This BBQ PIZZA IS FIRE I LOVE IT

As a remembrance of my dad's birthday, my wife, her mom, and I went to one of his favorite chain…read morerestaurants to eat dinner (after my wife and I had just gotten back from visiting our daughter). I intentionally chose a Golden Corral that we hadn't been before (we usually go to the closer one in Bellflower), and found that this Downey location didn't have the best aesthetics or service, but the food was on point. Gold Corral was already pretty busy when we got there before 5 pm. Dinner pricing was in play, costing $22.79 per person plus $4.39 for a soft drink. One stands in line to enter, grabbing your drinks from the self-serve soda fountain, and then paying the cashier. There was no option to add a tip, which was a bit surprising (since other food places that have far less service commonly add the option to their checkout process). Large sections of the restaurant were on reserve, but there were still plenty of places to sit, so was still on find-your-own table status. Once we found one, said hi to our server and went up. Two of the best things on the buffet were the golden fried shrimp (jumbo in size, nicely deep fried in a good oil) which were delicious dipped in their cocktail sauce (though each item were at opposite ends of the buffet) AND their freshly grilled sirloin steak. Once you get the grillers attention, he will fork over half of one, with the right level of doneness according to your request. Even though I was disappointed in learning that the steaks are now delivered frozen, they didn't taste that way. It was very good, as good a steak as I've had at any other fast casual restaurant, and certainly the best at a AYCE place. I tried their well known pot roast as well, and it was the same as before: really tender, going well with the accompanying gravy. I also tried their cornmeal fried catfish: quite good and not overly greasy. Good deep frying seems to be common here. Did notice they had fried chicken and grilled chicken available. Each table had paper napkin dispenser, and condiments like ketchup, steak sauce, and hot sauce. Other things I noticed were the self serve 3 flavor ICEE machine, self serve soft serve ice cream, and chocolate dipped fruits and snacks. What it did not have were two things that I've seen before at other Golden Corrals: a cotton candy machine and a self serve chocolate fountain. They did seem understaffed, as our dirty plates kept piling up and our drinks didn't get refilled. I was tempted to go to the nearby beverage station to just refill it ourselves, but the clear signage stating 'Employees Only' deterred me. My wife did get a server's attention, and he did clear our plates and refill our drinks...thus got a chance to use my 2 dollar bills before we left. We ended up only staying for 40 minutes, which would have disappointed my dad (who made it a rule to stay at least 1 hour at any AYCE place). But we ate well (my mother in law really loved the fried shrimp), which is what really mattered.

Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99…read moreis also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal…read more For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food.

It's definitely appropriate to get your grub on after a long, hard workout! If you like seafood, this place is for you. There are several different types of sushi, shrimp, fish, and other shellfish. There are also the typical Chinese food buffet items like: Fried rice Lo mein Orange chicken Beef & broccoli Honey walnut shrimp Pepper chicken (delish and crunchy) Veggie egg rolls Teriyaki chicken Fried chicken wings (delish) Pot stickers Cheese wontons Chicken on a stick Sesame balls Fried plantains For the kids: Cheese pizza McDonald's style chicken nuggets French fries Ice cream sandwiches (delish) Ice cream in a cup There is also a hibachi grill. The meat cut of the hibachi steak was (I'm pretty sure) sirloin steak. Great selection of sauce/vegetables to add on. The amount and variety of food choices here is very impressive. Hot food and sushi quality were good. I'm also dazzled that they had Blue Ribbon ice cream sandwiches (they were so good, I had 3)!! Service is good, they're prompt at refilling drinks and taking dirty plates. My only gripe here is that they did not have beef short ribs (Yelpers' pics in other Flaming Buffet locations had this). However, for $18/person for all day weekend buffet and all of the food options, you really can't go wrong and still a very good deal!!

I wished they had pakbet or one veggie dish to balance out all the meat dishes. I particularly liked the longanisa, garlic fried rice, tinolang, daing, champorado, and their fruit salad. Their coffee was good too. About $25 for AYCE wasn't too bad at all for what we got.
