Hot and sour soup, green beans, white fish, fried plantains, sesame ball (red beans filling), seaweed, cherry tomatoes

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.

Sashimi.

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

Awww this place is a hit and miss . I come here because my daughter likes their food . Can be a bit hectic at night time on weekends . The price fair for those than can eat more than two plates full. The place can use more detail cleaning . Service is nice and friendly .

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.

Happy Easter  to you all

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!

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.

Egg Drop Soup with Chips
Michaela V.

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.

menu/pricing (March 2025)

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.

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.

Pho
Allen P.

The best Chinese buffet I have been to and I've been to a lot. They had pho too!!!! This was a first time to have pho at a chinese buffet and it was good too! Service was also good and all at a reasonable price! I would highly recommend this place. If you're hungry come here!

Ice cream (scoop it yourself)
Faye A.

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.

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.

I believe they have crab legs for dinner, but you might want to call the business first if there's a supply shortage.

It looked like they have a lot of online orders though. I looked at the menu and noticed they have a lot of seafood options. I decided to try the lobster roll garlic butter sauce. I was told it was $36 for market price but I was actually charged $37. I also got a soda and asked for ice and it came in the tiniest cup of ice with no lid. It didn't really work for me so I ended up not using that cup. The employee in the front was nice though. Once I got home I tried it and it was okay. It's not the best lobster roll I've had. The fries were fine but the lobster was a bit dry. Melted butter on the side would have made it better, but I forgot to ask for that. Since they do have a lot of seafood options I wouldn't mind coming back to give them another try.

I ordered 12 tacos de camarón, and to my surprise, each taco had only a small piece of shrimp--not even half a shrimp per taco. I was really disappointed when I got home and started eating, especially because this has always been one of our favorite places. The tacos had all the other ingredients, but the shrimp, which should have been the main ingredient, was barely there. It's disappointing to see this from a place we've always enjoyed. I hope they take this feedback into consideration and improve their portions because we definitely expected better.

A couple weeks ago, we finally made it to dinner here, and I'm impressed…read more We started with apps: fried oysters (because I always like), and the coconut snails. Let me say the snails were a highlight. Surprisingly tender and flavorful. Sometimes, snails can have a livery / dirt / bitter flavor, but not these. And we were lucky rice wasn't on the table, because we would have stuffed ourselves eating rice with that wonderful sauce. Next comes the boil itself. My wife insisted on "no-spice" (ugh). But I got a side of the house sauce with med-spice. Let me tell you. That sauce. Again, good thing no rice on the table, because I'm already drowning everything in that sauce. Esp the garlic bread. The seafood was fine. You're not at the pier / Hawaiian beach / HK wet market fresh off the boat & straight into your mouth scenario. But fine. We're planning to be there again tomorrow.

Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs.

I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

The sharpie graffiti all over the walls seemed cute at first but all of that visual clutter conditioned me into thinking that the place was dirty. No offense meant to management but my son started smelling phantom smells usually associated with graffiti'd areas in DTLA. You can't underestimate the power of suggestion. Prices are comparable to Kicking Crab and Boiling Crab with a few differences. This place doesn't offer crawfish. Neither do they offer noodles as an alternative to rice. Nor do they offer broccoli or any type of vegetable. Service is friendly but with only two servers, there is a noticeable wait. But their wonderful can-do attitude offset it. When we got our crab and lobster, it was unfortunately dry. Not sure how long they cook the seafood for, but in my experience, if you let the crab or lobster steam or boil too long, the flesh tends to stick to the shells. It wasn't easy to get the meat out. We had to scrape the meat off the exoskeletons. The lobster tail was halved prior to cooking, so this step may have contributed to the dry meat. Typically you should only split it once it's been cooked. The sauce barely adhered to the seafood, so you have to dip the seafood into the crab boil sauce to get some flavor on it. The hush puppies for happy hour are a deal at $6 but there was practically no potato in it. You get breaded, fried flour. Wasn't very happy with this. The calamari was great - minimally breaded, seasoned well, and the flesh was juicy. Loved the marinara sauce that came with it. It's also on the happy hour menu, and for $6, it was a good portion. Hopefully management can make the necessary corrections to improve the customer's experience. The fixes shouldn't be problematic because they're simple enough. Adjusting the cooking time should do a lot to improve the juiciness of the seafood, and I'm certain patrons will notice the effort.
