Maybe I should just only review buffet places, because it seems to be the only places I eat nowadays... maybe I should stop... Tasty Buffet and Grill is part of a chain of buffets, same as Santa Buffet and Grill over in Santa Ana! Similar in quality, albeit cooked a little differently, I think I still prefer Santa. Highlights are the Stir Fried Beef, Baked Salmon, and Mushrooms! Service is great, my table was cleared often, even though we were seated at the very end of the restaurant. Very happy bellies roaming around the buffet area, myself included. All around good vibes! read more

The GOOD: Plenty of seating, clean bathroom, good food taste, and fast quick service. The restaurant itself is clean and great for large groups! Plenty of vegetarian and pescatarian options. The EHHH: THERE IS NO ICE CREAM MACHINE??? Most buffets I go to have some sort of ice cream or soft serve so I was sad. The dessert selection was not the greatest. I couldn't find a good sweet treat other than their cut fruit and jello. read more

Decent Chinese buffet. They have a Mongolian grill type service (grab your noodles and toppings and give to the guy to stir fry), sushi, ice cream, soups, and a small variety of other dishes. The variety is pretty small but the food is good albeit on the saltier side. There's also a chocolate fountain and popcorn machine. We ate as a big party group and service was great. The servers were on top of it - grabbing drinks and empty plates. read more

I happened to really really really really really did I mention really like this place. The buffet always changes it's never the same old boring stuff. The ladies are very good at getting to your table and delivering your drink order and cleaning the dirty plates off so you can go back and chow out again. They also have a sushi bar here. So if you like sushi this is your place also they have that Mongolian barbecue type thing. You get your noodles and your protein and they cook it up. You can't go wrong and the prices I think are pretty reasonable compared to other places. Lunch time and dinner time have different prices. I never used to come in for dinner but I have come a couple times and I really really like it. You leave satisfied. Especially if you like seafood there's evenings where they have ample supply of seafood. See it's a little bit for everybody. Even the little ones. Hope you get to swing by and give them a try until then bon appetit! read more

We came to Tasty Buffett and Grill to celebrate my dad's birthday with our family and other relatives. We came in around 12:30PM and they open at 11:00AM. For a Saturday, it was not busy as we expected. We were able to sit in the big banquet room as we had a party of 14 people. The buffet itself is huge lots of seating for small parties and the banquet room can probably accommodate 100 people for a large gartering. The staff and service were fine. They take drink orders right away and bust the tables of your plates as needed. The chairs and seats are still the same. They are dated and it's can be feel cramped if the location is full. What's usually tough is moving the chairs because the flooring is carpet. No big deal, either way. As for the selection this Tasty Buffet has an exceptional selection of food for the Weekend menu. It's $24.99 for adults and seniors get a discount. They have decent sushi options with rolls, sashimi and even crab legs. They offer a Mongolian Grill. The hot food selection has something for everyone. Plenty of favorites I enjoy were the grilled white fish, mussels, coconut shrimp and the black pepper beef, cheese wontons. There's a lot of desserts and on the other end they have self serve ice cream. Coming by earlier than later is a good idea since the food is fresh and quality is much better. My family had a great time this past weekend and enjoyed all the food. The staff even came out with a neon sign and played happy birthday over the speakers for my dad. Overall, Tasty Buffet was a good experience and probably one of the better Asian buffets around this area nowadays. ( ^_^)b read more

I haven't really been going to AYCE buffets lately, but I tried this one out since my daughter was mentioning it. They have an amazing selection of dishes. They had way more selections than I could eat. My favorites were the sushi, the chicken skewers and the beef and broccoli. I additionally liked the variety of soups they had, I tried the egg drop soup which was pretty good. They also have crab legs for dinner. I topped my meal off with a couple scoops of cookies and cream ice cream. Servers were nice and continued to feel our drinks and take away our plates as we finished. The location has plenty of dinning room. read more

Their food is truly delicious and they offer something for everyone! I love their sushi and chicken. Just the wonderful aroma alone from the food will have you begging for a bite. Their service is okay and usually just for ordering drinks and asking for napkins or utensils. I do fancy their Vegas style buffet ambiance. read more

My family likes buffet because of the variety aspect for all the different dietary preferences. We came here one weekend for dinner and had a total of 11 people in our party. We had 8 Adults ($22.99/each), 2 Seniors (received 10% off), 1 child (for children between 2-10, $2 times age). There is a 2 hour dining limit, and you have to pay upon seating. I paid when I got there but didn't know how many drinks we wanted so those were paid for in a separate check. They will bring the check RIGHT AWAY. Ohhh and one thing I didn't like. During my transaction, the lady selected 10% tip for me and scribbled a signature on the electronic pad. What the heck?? I would have tipped more than that but it annoyed me so much that she did it. We were seated in this back room at a long table, but I really hated how tighttttt the tables were to the people right behind us. They really squeezed in as many tables and chairs that would fit into that space. I question the capacity legalities. Upon going into the buffet area I didn't see much that I would like to eat at all. And I saw some incorrectly labelled items so I wouldn't trust their labels too much. Their crab legs can be scarce and at first I was told to come back in 10 minutes. I tried to basically get my money's worth on the crabs. It was cold and not that fresh. The butter was room temperature and sus. I ate it mostly cause there was nothing else I wanted to eat. Oh and when we asked the staff for crab crackers, the lady would only give us 2 when there were 4 of us eating crabs. As soon as I finished my plate, she took the crackers away. Ahem, did I say I was done eating? I know they're working hard but I wouldn't say they care much for customer service. We tried it... We know it sucks... We don't need to come back. read more

I've been here twice, and I think this buffet is really good. Dinner was only $25, so considering all the options, it's reasonably priced. All of the food was pretty good and didn't taste old. I liked how big the crab legs were because a lot of buffets serve skinny crab legs. The sashimi/sushi tasted fairly fresh, and the hibachi had good seasoning. Excellent choice of fruits and pastries. Definitely a good buffet to bring your friends and family. read more

Excellent food service and for the price! Appreciate the hospitality and the environment making it a fun evening with the family.

They make you pre-pay, which honestly feels like they know people would walk out otherwise. The staff was rude, the place was uncomfortably hot, and the food was straight-up terrible. I genuinely don't understand how this place has so many 5-star reviews. read more

AYCE Buffets after 4 hours at the gym has been a current weekend "thing" for us. Tasty Buffet and Grill in Pomona is a no frills AYCE Chinese Buffet w hibachi grill. There's plenty of seafood choices, so if you're into seafood, this place is for you. What I found interesting about this buffet was that they had movie theater popcorn, pho, chocolate fountain, scoop-yourself ice cream, and ceviche. Yes, you read that right... CEVICHE, lol!! I didn't try it, but hubby said it was good. Overall, the food was good. Service was average. Price was decent ($23 all day dinner Sat/Sun). Would definitely return when we're in the area. read more

Tasty buffet is my in-laws go-to place for lunch so here we are. It offers some different items during lunch & dinner. It opens at 11 according to the sign but when we arrived at 11, they were some people already finished eating and on their way out. They have quite a selection. Fried fish was my in-laws favorite, but it is only available during lunch. I started with an American breakfast of ham, eggs and potatoes. Sushi and sashimi were okay. They also have an omelette station, a pho station, and a Mongolian BBQ station, all made to order. My favorite was the grilled fish fillet. It was a whole side of fillet and up to the customer whether to take a large or small piece. It has a salad section that I skipped. I did had a healthy plateful of fruit of melons, pineapple, strawberry & blueberry to goes with sweet soup for dessert. It also has ice cream, chocolate fountain, and pastries in its own section. It is reasonably priced for an AYCE buffet. The posted time limit is 2 hours. That's plenty of time to get and eat whatever you like. It has plenty of parking too. I suspect this place is packed during dinner and on weekends too. read more

Chinese buffet, they have a lot of different options so for a big group it's easy for someone to find something they like. The best thing was the hidden ice cream station and chocolate fountain. Is it the mostly hygienic? Probably not, but hopefully enough Kim chi will save me lol. They have sushi, Mongolian grill station, seafood and the normal stuff. Overall a great variety! Taste wise, it's OK, not that tasty but it's a quantity over quality here. Lots of families. They won't know allergies so play it super safe lol read more

Tasty Buffet and Grill - Bug Dish Special - Buffets Near Me - Pomona, California

Background: I paid for a dinner service on Friday which was around $28. The buffet: They have a wide variety of food, soup, desserts, and other items. This ranges from Chinese food, sushi, a grill with food that you select to get cooked, Chinese soups, sashimi, noodles, fish, rice, ice cream, cakes, and other items. I enjoyed my first plate of fried rice, and variations of cooked chicken, the following few plates seemed to lower in quality of food as I continued eating (the further back I went into the buffet.) The quality of the food: The fried rice is OK. The meat selections in the first row at the buffet including the differently cooked chickens, beef's, and vegetables have flavor. The soup I tried, hot and sour was also flavorful. Unfortunately, as you go further back into the buffet, the quality diminishes. The food appears to be left out longer with a stale appearance. A dessert I found had a BUG in it. (I only noticed after sitting down, it was small enough to miss while getting food by blending in, but it was big enough to notice when I had the food.) The service quality: They were attentive enough to replace my party's water almost instantly every time we finished our cups. As soon as we were given a tray with fortune cookies about 30-40 minutes in, our service stopped. Ambiance: Not a lot of people. Quiet, families frequent the area. read more

This buffet had it all. Great assortment of food at a reasonable price. They have a sushi section, crab legs, fish, Mongolian bbq, dim sum, Chinese food, and even pho. Awesome array of delicious food the desert section was awesome too the had a chocolate fountain, ice cream, fresh fruits, etc. I highly recommend this buffet. The service was good they got our drinks right away. Ambiance was clean and well organized, they also have a small pond with koi fish in the front which was a nice touch. Good price for a weekend we went on Sunday and it was packed. $25/person weekend price. It's much cheaper if you go on weekdays during lunch. Come check this spot out you won't regret it. read more

This restaurant is not that bad but there's flys on the food all the time. The lady's always look at you like like there's a problem or think your gonna do something. The food is always cold. In my opinion read more

Seems like a rip off Way too expensive when you get there Not a reliable restaurant. They don't seem to be honest about the real cost to eat there read more

I was there on Sunday. The "clean" plates are dirty. Saw dried rice and food stuck on the plates.

Really not much to say, except everything was bad. The food seemed stale and just not fresh. The soup was bad as well. I would not come back. Sorry! read more

Now, this is a buffet you don't wanna miss! 4realz!! My experience here today exceeded my expectations. Weekend price for $21.99 with snow crab legs!!!?!! That alone was worth it. It would be better if it was a bit warmer... Besides crab legs, I rarely touch other items in Asian buffets. It rarely looks appealing to me. I go because my mom loves buffets lol The cheese cream butterfly shrimps were yummy. I think I ate like 7 or 8 of it. This place offered a pho and a Mongolian grill station. Pho would be good if the broth was hotter. Also, instead of ham, they should prob have beef balls or some kind of filet beef lol I guess you can take some meats from the grill station... There was a sushi, soup, fried food, salad, dessert station, and etc. My fav snack here was definitely the black sesame mochi balls. It was so good. Grab it when it's fresh out so it can be crispy. The place was neat and clean. Well, organized. Service was good. I don't know how anyone can give this place less than 4 stars. Maybe the experience was different from me...I dunno. I hope this place can maintain the price and quality. For sure, the quality wasn't super amazing. However, it was definitely better compared to other Asian buffets I have been to. With the price they are offering now, it definitely worth it. read more

Everything went well. Been there twice the last month and both experiences were close to excellent. The food selection were very good, the service both times were very nice and the ambiance was very nice. Thank you and I plan on coming back soon. read more

I saw a boy about 4-5 years old standing at the food area. He used his bare hand to pick up a piece of chicken, smelled it, took a bite, and then put it back on the public plate that put the chicken. I felt disgusted and told a staff member. She asked me which piece he bit and I told her it didn 't matter-it all needed to be removed because it was no longer clean. She brought the food back, but I couldn't tell whether she replaced it with a new tray, reused the same one, or just took out that one piece. I felt uncomfortable and ended up going home early with a stomachache. read more

The food was slimy and left us feeling super sick when we left. Desserts were all stale and tasted old. Immediately vomited when we got home. read more

I shamelessly love a Chinese food buffet and I'm so glad Grand Buffet has been reincarnated into Tasty Buffet. Came here with my parents on a Sunday night and boy was it cracking. Dinner will run you about $20 bucks per adult with a slight discount for senior citizens. I prefer the layout of this buffet over Flaming out in Chino because the space between buffet stations is more spacious. Like most standard buffets of this kind, there are your go to classics: Americanized Chinese food ie orange chicken + beef n' broccoli etc., an assortment of American foods, a Mongolian BBQ station, and plenty of sushi options. For Sunday dinner, they also offered king crab legs which was consistently refilled. The main attraction, I would say, is the dessert station. I think there's a fondue situation you can partake in as well as a cute, little popcorn machine. And did I mention they serve Thrifty's ice cream? They're really good about keeping the food fresh and new for the diners, which is something I appreciate at a buffet. Food was pretty good. Service was better. It's a good value for what you're paying for. read more

I drove by and saw that they opened up recently. The layout is the same with paying first before you get seated. They have the usual fare of fried rice, chow mein, noodles. They do have a variety of steamed salmon and other fishes. They do have orange chicken, black pepper chicken, not alot of pork or beef. They do have various types of sushi being made in the back. Their soups consist of egg drop, hot and sour, miso, and clam chowder. The clam chowder tasted off to me. The food tastes good, they also have fried shrimps, baked scallops, and baked mussels. During dinner time, they have crab legs near the sushi section. Their dessert area was located off to the side with a popcorn machine, cookies, a chocolate fountain, and a ice cream bar to scoop your own ice cream. The place is ok, it can get loud. The staff is nice. read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 07/09/23 for the first time. Please note that Saturday and Sunday is Dinner Price all day ($20.99/person - adult). You pay first before getting seated. Treated my parents out for lunch since we deserve the good times by eating at an AYCE place, haha: $20.99 x 3 = $62.97 TAX (10.25%) = $6.95 TOTAL: $69.42 ** We left $10 tip via cash on our table ** SEAFOOD: snow crab legs (cold, located at the sushi bar), crab, mussels covered with mayo, clams, fried shrimp (unpeeled) and peeled shrimp, sushi, crawfish. Tons and tons of food options. From the mongolian grill to the salad bar to the sushi area, this place is totally worth the price. Ice cream (Thrifty brand), popcorn, and self serve marshmallows that you can dip at the chocolate fountain. Overall 5/5. read more

I've been coming to this buffet for a year now and never experienced any issues with food or customer service until Friday at around 3:30Pm , after our food the waiter that was only picking up plates, didn't interact w us or even sit us down. She comes up to me and my family and taps the table really aggressive and says tip?! and she does this three times!! She made us feel so uncomfortable we probably won't be coming back. Very disappointed as this buffet serves good food! Felt racist and personal. Was the waiter gonna ask everyone else for a tip? I think not. read more

Worse buffet I've ever been to. I was taken back that you have to pay upfront. Came here because it was close to where I needed to be and called them ahead to confirm they had crab legs on a Friday night. The seafood didn't have any flavor and there was no meat in the crawfish or crab legs. There was no butter, just butter sauce. Staff was chatting a lot. There were two kids that I think belonged to one of the staff and they kept going in and out of the front door. They were constantly at the dessert bar even though there's a sign that says must be accompanied by an adult unless you are 10+. The only good thing was the calm chowder and chocolate ice cream. Dont even get me started on the bathroom. It was sooooooo gross, I won't say as it might ruin your appetite. read more

Tasty Buffet and Grill - Falls apart when you open for meat. - Buffets Near Me - Pomona, California

I've been coming here since the OG place but now that it's changed name and owner, this is the best it's been yet. Surprised I haven't written a review since I've frequented here many times already since opening. The pandemic almost made these places go extinct but this place came back swinging because compared to the other local Asian buffets, this one is the best all around for food quality, service, environment, and price. Food: always circulating and fresh, tons of variety. Dining rooms are always full of people so it helps with the turn around time of churning out new food. The quality of the food is great, seafood is fresh, meats are meaty, greens are green, and shrimps are big! Sushi has a great rice to fish ratio and they even have seared rolls! Best time to come is definitely on a weekend when it's dinner all day and the crab legs are packed in the mounds and no one is fighting over any because they constantly refill. Service: they are quick here. Bussing dishes as soon as you're on your last bite and I see the ladies cleaning the counters often which is nice. Ambiance: large dining rooms and food area, good air flow, definitely roomy and I've seen huge parties here before. Best of all, I like that it's pay before seating because you don't have to worry about the bill or tipping (I hope people too generously because they're working hard out there), and also of course no dine and dashers! I have a feeling this place is family owned because I saw one of the hostesses try to discreetly entertain their young children while working to seat parties, which is definitely a hard thing to do. Love to support local businesses!! read more

service was fine, food is a different story..... they do make you pay up front which is already a sign... do not waste your time and money here. some of the food was not even warm even though they are sitting right under the warming lamps, sushi didn't taste fresh and bland pizza. idk how you can mess up a pizza but overall i say choose another place in the area to sit and eat because we did not stay here for an hour and it was $60 for two people read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed! We got seated quickly then got a selection of mostly meats and vegetables (we are eating keto). Most of the meat was either dry or overly sweet/savory. The flavors were not great. We wanted to experiment with this buffet and it ultimately failed. If you eat carbs, their fruit bar, dessert bar, and sushi bar all looked yummy but we didn't try any of that. read more
