    A really average ayce chinese fusion buffet. You're not going to find the finest quality of ingredients here, but you'll certainly leave here full. Options range from chinese food to dim sum to so called japanese sushi. Service was good and the amount of seating is great. Not sure i would come back, but maybe once in a blue moon, i'll give it another shot. Parking is huge and shared with other shops around.

    Mussels, shrimps

    This place has a lot of variety from seafoods, bbq meat, sushi, desserts and drinks. Best place to buy to go food too. Highly recommended.

    Lots of variety here especially on the weekends but it's pricier. There are more seafood options on weekends. They also have a coffee machine now and a few cold flavored teas to choose from, including a toppings station with boba and jellies. There's usually a line at the machine unless it's closer to slower hours around 3pm. All the teas are pretty good. Service is good. It's pretty loud inside though, hard to have a conversation. Also, the blue lights always throws me off. Wish they used regular lights.

    We came hungry in the late afternoon/early evening for a hearty meal with lots of food--lunch is $25 and dinner is $38ish. When we walked in, we found the place to be extremely vast and exemplary of a classic Chinese seafood restaurant. Tables and booths are separated well enough for people to enjoy a private experience. The workers at Shiki buffet are very diligent about making sure that people who paid for the lunch fee do NOT touch the dinner options as well. The food itself is of pretty decent quality--nothing that knocks your socks off but it's fantastic for people who are down for a buffet. They offer mostly Asian dishes like dumplings, cooked and raw seafood, sushi, fried rice, stir-fries, meats, but they also have classic sides like fruits and mixed greens, plus some desserts such as cakes, parfaits, pastries, and even ice cream. You have to pay extra for some drink options, but they offer iced teas, water, juices, and smoothies. Even though I'm not much of a buffet girlie nowadays, I enjoyed my time here!

    Dim Sum
    Dan L.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday. Overall, the experience was positive. For $24.99/adult (less for seniors 65+), I believe this buffet represents a great value for those with massive appetites (the price increases dramatically for dinner, holidays, and/or on weekends). The buffet offerings are diverse and expansive: sushi, dim sum, grilled meats, miscellaneous seafood, French fries, ice cream, etc. I even saw a chocolate fountain. There is truly something for everyone here, regardless of any dietary restrictions one may have. Quite a few of the menu items were hit or miss - e.g. the ice cream, black sugar boba, and milk tea were surprisingly good. The cream puffs were dry trash, and the Thai Tea was disappointing in flavor. I did enjoy the mussels and sushi. No crab legs appeared to be available - I suspect they must only be available during dinner/weekends. A large variety of free (included in the base admission price) non-alcoholic beverages were available. There is a 10-12% service charge (depending on the size of your party), but per the written notices posted everywhere in the restaurant, no tips are expected. The posted dining time limit is 2 hours. Plenty of parking was available in the lot outside. The restroom infrastructure on-site is *absurdly* inadequate relative to the capacity of the spacious dining area. Staff were very good about attentively clearing out empty dirty plates from our table. I did not experience any illness from dining here, but my cousin stated that he vomited shortly after dining here with me. I've been told that I have a cast iron stomach. Your mileage may vary.

    There was plenty of parking on the lot. The restaurant was in the same plaza as The Hat and GW Supermarket. Came on a weekend afternoon. It was $37.99 per person. They add 10% tips automatically. The interior was beautiful. Plenty of places to seat. Like most buffets, you pay first, then the waiter takes you to your seat. Non-alcoholic drinks were included. The melon juice and strawberry and banana smoothie were delicious. The crab legs were a must as they were juicy and sweet. The oysters and sushi were not fresh. Actually got food poisoning from the oysters and had to call out sick the next day. My fault for eating oysters at a buffet. The House Soup was really good and had sea cucumber. The hot and sour soup was not good. The fruits and ice cream was a hit or miss. Did not like that they didn't not refill most items as it became less crowded. The cooked oysters were empty every time I went back. Would come back if the food quality improves and the raw dishes were fresh.

    My mom loves to come here whenever she's visiting, which means we've been here several times in the past couple of years. It's a typical "all you can eat" Chinese buffet, with much better décor than most (love the blue lighting and chandeliers). Eat In or To Go options/pricing available. They have a wide variety of food options, including salads, fruits, soups, seafood (fish, shellfish, crab legs, fresh sushi/sashimi), meats, vegetarian options, and desserts (ice cream, cookies, and little pastries). The grill section allows you to pick a protein, and a chef will grill it to your desired temperature. The service is very good and the young ladies who take care of your table/plate clearing, drink refills, etc. are wonderful. They have removed tipping at the tables and added a mandatory 10% to your bill. They also offer 10% off for senior citizens (65+).

    Came here yesterday with a friend for an early dinner. She's never been here but was always curious. I actually do love the variety of seafood they offer and everything else as pretty fresh except their escargot. I loved their variety of soups they had, most places only have clam chowder and hot and sour soup. This place had seaweed soup, herbal soup, chicken soup, and fish maw soup (my fav). They also offered two types of crab; snow crab legs and halves of rock crab (for those that love eating crab brains). They widened their sushi offerings. They had bbq stations available if you wanted them to grill for you. They had beef short ribs, shrimp, pork belly, and shockingly they had lamb chops as well. I loved their boba milk tea dispensers.

    I went here on November 22 for my great aunt's birthday. I loved the variety of food that was available, I wasn't expecting there to be dim sum or sushi. Service was alright, it was a large party so a few dozen people were with me. There was a server that had a push cart with drinks. She asked if we wanted any and the options were soda and tea. You could get your own drink at the buffet too. Plates were taken quickly in the first hour or so, then it took a few minutes because more customers were appearing later on through the day. I loved the chairs, they were comfy. The walls were decorated and looked lovely.

    How much is lunch buffet now?

    $39 plus tax

    No one is asking this but are the drinks lncluded with the price?

    No. They are not included. Soft drinks are $2.69 with free refills. They also have orange juice and apple juice for less than $4 by glass but no refill. They also have beer but I forgot the price

    Do they serve oysters, crab legs on week nights?

    Crab legs on weeknights yes.

    No , I don't think so. Went there twice recently around lunch time. No crab legs at all . I believe dinner price may include , not sure

    Can I order to go, what is the price?

    You have to pick up the food yourself. They charge you by weight according to what it is.

    Can we reserve a single room for birthday or you do require minimum number of guests? Is there additional cost for room reservation?

    Based on my understanding, you can get the tables in a separated “private” area if you have 54 people (9 Tables of 6 people each table). Otherwise, if less than 54, you are sharing the space with other parties, but it’ll still be “semi-private”.… Read more

    Do they have a private or dedicated dining area for large groups of over 15 people?

    They have a large side room that runs the majority of the length of the restaurant so you can probably request that for a "private" party. But they also have pretty large tables in the front area that can also accommodate large groups.

    Wonder what seafood do they offer during lunch time? Thanks in advance

    sushi with salmon and other fish, clams stew, clams soup, shrimp dipappetizers, cooked chips, fish fillet, Baby octopus appetizers, among others....NO crab legs or jumbo steamed shrimps

    Do they have raw oysters?

    They had raw oysters during the weekend buffet on the day of my visit.

    Do they grill chicken or have a grill?

    No chicken, just pork chop, beef steak, pork belly, and squid.

    Came to the Rosemead location to celebrate a family member's birthday on a Friday evening. We were…read moreable to call ahead earlier in the morning and ask if we could be on the wait list or reserve a table. They told us they could reserve a table for us at 6pm. We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.

We were seated right away when we arrived, although it took a while before anyone came to take our order. We started with the sizzling razor clams, and honestly, they were the highlight of the meal, perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and a great start. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and it really missed the mark. Several ingredients felt poorly prepared. The tendon was so tough it was basically inedible and had to be pushed aside. The pork blood tasted like it had been cooked separately since it had none of the broth flavor soaked into it. Even the beef slices felt out of place, almost like they had been pulled from a pho bowl and dropped into the BBH at the last minute. The broth itself lacked the richness, spice, and strong lemongrass flavor that normally makes Bun Bo Hue stand out. It just tasted flat. There was also a mix-up with our order when the wrong dish came out instead of the lobster. When the lobster finally arrived, it was badly overcooked and much smaller than what was shown on the menu. On top of that, the music was blasting the entire time, no one really checked in to see how things were going, and it took multiple attempts just to get our check. When we mentioned the food issues, the response was basically, "We'll let the chef know." Not exactly the kind of service you hope for after a disappointing meal. Really wanted to like this place, especially after such a strong start with the razor clams, but overall it ended up being a letdown.
