Date: July 10, 2026 Favorites: Snow Crab Seafood Boil Corn and Sauce Clams Pistachio Almond Ice Cream Milk Tea Experience: My husband was feeling ravenous, so he decided we should give this place a try. We came around 5pm, so we were quickly seated with only a handful of tables occupied. We ordered our drinks and made our way around the location to figure out what they had. They had ice cream and boba tea in the back corner, then came the dim sum options, hot foods, items for the grill, sushi, desserts with a chocolate fountain, and a mixture of cold items, such as fruits, seafood, and more desserts. Right away I got a plate of snow crabs and noticed the seafood boil the had shrimp and corn, so I got one of that as well the clams and some pieces of sushi. The crab legs were easy to open though I did have my husband request for crab cracker to help me with the harder pieces. I definitely preferred dipping the crab meat into the seafood boil sauce than the melted butter they had. The clams were pretty good as well, so I made sure to get a second round of them with the snow crabs. I did dabble in trying other foods, but preferred my seafood combo that I got. Once I had my fill with savory, I tackled the sweets and buffets are always fun to try new desserts but overall my fave was just good ol' pistachio almond ice cream with my milk tea. Overall, a good experience with both the restroom and dining area being clean. Staff was nice, but definitely need to catch their attention for refills and anything else you need that isn't taking away your used plates or the bill cause they were on my for those.

Shiki is your average Asian/Seafood buffet showcasing mainly Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisine. We were in the area to celebrate a milestone birthday with a large party lunch (60+ guests). We were placed in a semi-private area. The restaurant had ample indoor seating and was fairly spacious to move around. If you've been to other Asian buffets, you'll know what to expect at reasonable prices. The Hits: - Fire-grilled BBQ station (steak, galbi (short ribs), pork belly, and squid) - Variety of sushi and rolls (average quality for the nigiri) - Dim sum options (popular items that get refilled regularly) - Desserts and fruits - 16 flavors of ice cream - Coffee and boba station The Misses (that I tried) - the orange chicken (flavor was off and bland) - fried chicken wings (looked good and crispy, but they were bland and had no seasoning) Service and staff were great. From taking drinks orders to clearing used plates, they were fairly attentive to everyone in the party. The food was refilled at decent times as well. There were plenty of seniors dining here since there's a special price for seniors. Reservations are recommended for large parties or peak dining times (dinner and weekends). This was our first time here, and it was a pleasant experience overall. It's a decent Asian buffet if you're in the area. A solid 3.5/5 rating.

A nice seafood buffet restaurant in Temple City. Plenty of parking here. We were seated promptly upon arrival. Staffs were attentive and friendly. They got our drinks quickly while we went to get our food. Speaking about foods, there were plenty. They have all sorts of foods from seafood to soup, all kinds of meats. They have a nice dessert section as well. Foods were very good. There were too many things to try, didn't get to try everything. It will probably take many trips here to be able to try everything! We enjoyed eating here. The ambience is quite nice. Will be back one day to try other items.

OVERPRICED!!!!!! Dirty place, food cold, drinks cost for every refill !! Fruits don't look washed, drinks taste a little off, plates look so dirty , Food tasted old and all on my family left with the feeling of wanting to throw up.

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.

Big and spacious with private rooms for groups. Don't order soda they now have milk tea, thai tea with different bobas included. Frog legs and escargot too

As of 10/2018

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!

Sushi

Shiki Seafood Buffet all-you-can-eat has large sushi selection, plenty of hot dishes, grilled items, and desserts to choose from. Everything was kept well stocked.

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.

I believe it is $39.99 all day Saturday.

My spouse is vegetarian. What vegetarian options do they have?

$25

🧋Do they have milk tea and Thai tea with boba during Lunch, included in the price?🧋

Yes, you pay one price and everything is included

What is the price of lunch on weekdays?

$25

Do they serve sashimi and crab legs for their weekday lunch?

No only on weekend lunch or weekday holidays but prepare to pay full price.

Do u have snow crabs for lunch?

Only on holidays and weekends

Do they take reservations?

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.

Is there shrimp throughout the week?

I believe they have the smaller shrimps during the weekdays. But the larger prawns and crab legs are on weekends only where the price is $36.99

Do they have crawfish during lunch hours?

Nope. Only on holidays and weekends.

Do they serve crablegs during lunch too on weekdays?

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”.… 

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.

With the cost of groceries, gas, and dining out continuing to climb, people are looking for a place where they can get a good meal without spending a fortune. This place fits the bill. If you come before 4:00 p.m. on a weekday, lunch is around $15. That's about what you'd spend on a burger, fries, and a drink at some fast-food chains these days, except here you get an entire buffet with plenty of choices. The salad bar is well stocked and includes fresh fruit. They also have sushi rolls and nigiri. Is it sushi restaurant quality? No. But considering that one specialty roll at a sushi restaurant can cost $12-$16 by itself, it's a nice bonus. My favorite item is fried chicken. It's crispy, flavorful, and consistently juicy. I would gladly pay the lunch price just for the chicken. They also serve a very good pot roast, meaty pork ribs, and on Fridays they have a surprisingly good rib roast. Those are just a few of the highlights because there are plenty of other dishes to choose from. As for the staff, most of the employees appear to be young and may be working their first job. The cooks aren't trying to be gourmet chefs, they focus on preparing the buffet items well, and overall, they do a good job keeping the food coming despite how busy the restaurant gets. If you're looking for a fine dining experience prepared by professionally trained chefs, this probably isn't the place for you. But if your goal is to enjoy a wide variety of good food at a price that's hard to beat in today's economy, this buffet is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for a crowd, that's usually a sign they're doing something right.

Definitely been a while since we came here, we used to come here almost every month before Covid…read more After Covid, the changes they made weren't so great. This time, we tried this place again and it's better! The food is still similar to all other buffets, but I think I prefer this place's chicken wings, baked mussels, bbq ribs, and beef stir fry. It is similar price range as other buffets ($20) and drinks are paid separate as usual. Refillable fountain drinks if you prefer but having water works too. The sushi is a hit or miss, I had great sushi rolls but other days it might have been sitting for too long. They refill their trays as food is getting less and I like that there's someone around to ask when they will bring a fresh batch. The tables are numbered so it's easy to know where we sit and where we have to go if it gets busy. Utensils are all plastic or one time use, no more checking if the forks are clean! The plates and bowls are still the reusable ones which is what I prefer for getting food. They have a popcorn machine (also a hit or miss in taste and freshness). For food: The crab legs are served cold and their butter is super yellow (it's most likely butter flavored oil). Bbq Ribs are good, served in single ribs, nice bbq flavor. Chicken skewers are still tender and flavorful, will keep having these! Chicken wings (fresh) are soooo juicy and crispy! They have chicken tenders but I didn't try them. No crab Rangoon or sesame balls unfortunately. Baked mussels taste just the same, great creamy sauce on chewy mussels. Coconut shrimp is fried with sweet creamy mayo sauce, it doesn't have coconut shredding so I love it. Beef stirfry is actually great, it had peppers and mushrooms, but the beef is tender (sometimes not so hit or miss). Ice cream is self serve scooped, they have a sign that it's $2.50 if anyone plans to take ice cream to go. Restrooms are clean when we went, I know during peak hours the restrooms can be a bit gross... Overall I'm glad we came back! Might come back more and hope the experience is good again!

My bf liked the steamed chicken feet and garlic tripe as well (the tripe was p spicy). You order the dim sum with your server as the dim sum is made to order, which I preferred bc it comes out steaming hot. The buffet bar also has a variety of items from fried appetizers to veggie side dishes, fried rice, noodles and more!

This place has the best quality crab legs out of all the buffet places I've been to so far. I prefer them warm and they were steamed well and not salty at all. I was able to enjoy the true flavors of crabs. We also loved their sashimi. My son loved the tuna so much. Their hot food section had a lot of tasty stuff like Thai chicken, stir fry beef, fried fish and calamari and so on. I also like that they have clam chowder. I wish they have more varieties of the grill section. They don't have boneless beef steaks other than marinated galbi with bones. Ice cream section was cleared out when my kids went for a second round and never got replenished before we decide not to wait anymore. It would be great if they can replenish dishes often. Ambiance is well-lit, and spacious. Overall, a very solid buffet experience and worthy of returning.

Fuji Buffet & Grill - Glendale, CA…read more Fuji Buffet is a typical all-you-can-eat Asian buffet with a pretty good variety of food, especially if you enjoy seafood. They have a nice selection of seafood, sushi, hot dishes, and other buffet favorites. The food was okay overall--not bad, but nothing particularly outstanding either. It's a good option if you want plenty of choices and want to try a little bit of everything.

Drinks are extra. Prices may change, so check before visiting. Hours: * Sunday-Thursday: 11 AM-9:30 PM * Friday-Saturday: 11 AM-10 PM Parking: Honestly, the parking situation was horrible! Finding a spot was frustrating, and the shared parking area made things even more difficult. Be prepared for a little headache, especially during busy times. Overall, Fuji Buffet has a good variety of seafood and plenty of options to choose from, but the food was just okay and pretty standard for an Asian buffet. The biggest downside for us was definitely the parking. It's worth considering if you're craving a buffet with lots of selections, but don't expect anything extraordinary. Final verdict: A decent buffet for the variety, especially the seafood, but the parking situation definitely takes away from the experience!
