Veronica P.

Shakey's in Pico Rivera has re-open after it was closed for months due to fire. Everything has been upgraded. $15.99 for lunch a bunch. Everything was fresh and still as tasty. Enough employees to have the buffet full to accommodate the crowd. Manager was having customers line up outside. It helps to keep everything running smoothly. Same chill casual place to enjoy good food, family and TV's all around to catch some games.

All the games work everything works

The…read moreselection and quality is definitely well above the asking price, and I can say writing this the next day, none of us had any stomach issues. The most surprising item was definitely the crab legs. I don't know how they are able to include this in the menu. The crab legs were sweet and flavorful and the meat separated from the shell reasonably well. There were also fruits like papaya and blueberries which is a rare sight indeed. They also had dim sum like chicken feet! The sushi had rice that was well seasoned and not hard. The fish tasted fresh. My favorite dish was the steamed white fish with green onion and ginger. The clams were also fresh, but slightly sandy. The one thing I would never try again, though, is their tomato shrimp soup (it was like a sweet tomyum that was just weird) and their "cheesecake" that was a dried out sponge cake with a dried layer of cream cheese frosting. The rest of the items were pretty tasty and I left feeling full and satisfied, without any heaviness. The price is generous and great for a family outing. I definitely recommend this spot and even their other locations. I hope they do well and continue to be a staple to the community.

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.

The inside was spacious with lots of seating. Pay at the front and you're good to get started! Start the buffet with their slightly salted certified angus roast beef. A bit on the drier side but still okay! They have lots of proteins and vegetables from broccoli beef and bok choy stems to sichuan chicken, scallops, clams, salmon, shrimp, and beef cubes. Head to their fried foods section and you'll find pizza, sweet potatoes, sesame balls, egg tarts, and bbq chicken skewers. For soups, enjoy a spicy hot and sour, fish maw and imitation crab, or meat ball soup. They even have shu mai, taro buns, sticky red bean rice, and sticky mushroom rice. I love going to their customizable stir fry line and making my own fried udon with egg, pineapple, garlic, and mushrooms. They have lots of seafood, sushi, and sashimi too from rolls to seaweed salad, crab legs, and more! Need a sweet treat? Don't forget about their chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows, popcorn machine, or chocolate and mango cream cups or cake bites. They even have a fungus soup dessert, lychee, oranges, pineapples, jello, banana pudding, and more! Thanks Kami for a great time. Their focus is on quantity over quality but I appreciate the wide variety and still good food overall!

Been passing by Kami on my way to work for a while, so I finally decided to stop in and check it…read moreout. Overall, it was a pretty standard Chinese buffet experience. There's a solid variety of options, and you can definitely find something to satisfy whatever you're in the mood for. A few of the fruit and sushi items seemed like they may have been sitting out for a bit, which can happen at buffets, but there were still plenty of other choices to enjoy. The Mongolian grill wasn't running during my visit (I believe it's available during dinner hours), so that's something I'd be curious to try next time. The standout for me was actually the soups -- both the hot & sour soup and the miso soup were flavorful and comforting, and I ended up going back for more. Service was fine: nothing over-the-top, but attentive enough to keep things moving smoothly. All in all, it's a decent, no-frills buffet spot. I'd call it a solid 3-star experience, especially if you're nearby and craving variety in one place.

The entire restaurant is thoughtfully themed in great detail -…read morethe music, fun decor - even the restrooms are labeled "Westrooms"! :D The cheese toast was thick & delicious, the ribeye steak had great charbroiled taste and was tender. There are LOTS of toppings for your steak and/or baked potato, including teriyaki/bbq/worcestershire/hot sauces, gravy, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, cheese (shredded or watm cheese sauce), etc..! I love that all the toppings are self-serve. But the self-serve-stations can get messy - people are gross and sloppy getting butter all over the handles of the metal scoopers, and sauce on the ladel handles. Thankfully the counter with the bottled sauces had napkins. More restrooms are needed; there are only 1 men's and 1 women's individual restrooms (1 stall, 1 sink) for this big restaurant! There are plenty of tables and many booths, and it's great to be able to seat yourself. I really liked how the booths all had tall etched plexiglass partitions, probably installed after Covid. Good service - nice, friendly, fast. I'm looking forward to going back! :)

I couldn't finish it :( my puppies got the left overs. Salad bar was okay. Just keep fresh veggies and decent dressings and you can't really mess up a salad bar unless you really don't care. The toast they offer is not good. They use margarine, that vegetable based oil so of course it doesn't have a buttery savory flavor. This place seems to be holding on by a thread. It came off as them doing the absolute bare minimum. Only thing I can think of that might attract returning business is the wine is inexpensive (I didn't get wine but I saw the prices and people ordering). I'm kinda bummed. Last time I was there was years ago and I remember enjoying it. Regarding staff, they were nice and helpful. Our waiter was attentive. The restaurant is dated but I think it's a part of its charm. I just wanted to have a good steak.
