    I've given the new owners plenty of chances. This time, I decided to dine in instead of getting takeout to see if the quality had improved. Unfortunately, the soup was terrible, filled with gristly meat, and the broth tasted like water rather than chicken. They barely gave any sizzling rice. I didn't even eat the soup. My son said the buffet was decent and ate it, but to me, everything looked unappetizing. I'm done. This was the last chance for the new owners to make things better. Sadly, you can't get sizzling rice soup at any other restaurant in Tehachapi. For really good food, I have better luck in Palmdale or Santa Clarita. 6/9/24

    Food was ok. I went to use the woman's restroom and the hydraulic arm that is supposed to slow down the extra heavy door did not work. I heard the door coming too fast and reach behind me to try and slow it down. Instead it caught my fingertips in the door. I am brining this awareness before some child opens the door and gets hurt.

    Wonton Soup

    Smallest serving I've ever had from any Chinese restaurant. Most of it was hard carrots and veggies. My soup only had 2 wontons.

    All the veggies!!

    Plant based options on buffet! Broccoli, green beans, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage, mushrooms, tofu....works for me! Some of these were taken from the meat-based dishes, broccoli taken from the beef & broccoli. The meat-eaters should be happy with the remaining meat-to-vegetable ratio. Red bean sesame balls for dessert. Decent meal overall.

    Came here years ago and absolutely disliked it. Apparently its under new ownership and the food is delicious. The staff are very friendly and there is a variety of Asian cuisine. Highly recommend and tastes better than the local Panda Express.

    Food overcooked, had a taste of dirty dishes. Service was pleasant and didn't cost too much for two buffets but we won't be back.

After doing a quick Yelp search i found Red House BBQ. From the being to end the whole experience was great, we were greeted promptly and sat down just as fast. We opted to sit outside since it was a beautiful day with great weather. The patio and outside seating is huge, the inside is a bit smaller but still has plenty of seating and it's nice I love the decor. I went with the Tri Tip sandwich and added hot-links which was a great choice I also got a side of fries. The Tri Tip was well seasoned it had the crack peppercorn taste that I personally love. Served on a soft Brioche bun I believe. They give you 3 bbq sauces on the side to choose from Sweet and mild , mild and spicy all three were delicious. My wife and daughter went with the pulled pork sandwich which I tried an it was delicious,especially the little pieces of Bark. My wife had a side of Mac and cheese and my daughter a side salad. They said the Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the side salad it was fresh. They do have a small bar nothing big and offer beer,wine and some mixed drinks. Overall it was great experience and I say even better BBQ than most of the spots I've tried in Bakersfield. It's a shame it's about 45 mins away but I'll be definitely making the trip back soon to try something else on the menu.

    Came here for a group gathering and heard rave mentions of this place. It's been a while since I've…read morebeen to a buffet so I was pretty excited. I arrived earlier than the rest of the group and saw the doors open at around 11AM. I was pretty shocked to see so many families and groups lining up and immediately walking in. Once inside, it seems like a standard buffet with all the food ready at the side and the tables all around the rest of the corners. You can pick your own seats, and you get your own drinks, which I like because the soft drinks are sometimes charged extra in other places. The variety of drinks were also pretty impressive with rasbperry/blueberry juice to horchata/jamaica agua frescas, to hot tea or coffee, or sodas and lemonades. I picked out some of the hot food items mostly and grabbed seafood items. Sadly, the salmon and the sea bass to me were very salty and put me off from getting it again. I was told that the fish is usually much better, so maybe it was an off day unfortunately, but it was pretty salty to where you'd get worried of your blood pressure. Anyways, I was able to enjoy their hot soups (which were nice and flavorful) and other foods like chicken wings, orange chicken, steak, etc and found them very pleasant. The desserts area was super nice and I got myself a complimentary ice cream from their freezer. *senior discounts given, but you must have ID no matter what *Hibachi grill with chef in back *sushi and seafood Pretty straightforward and didn't have any problems dining here!!!

    Comí aquí dos veces antes de tener esta horrible experiencia. El lugar no es precisamente el más…read morelimpio, el más ordenado ni el de mejor aspecto, pero es un bufé económico y la comida es de calidad promedio para ser un bufé. Mi última experiencia fue algo totalmente distinto. Llegué con mi familia y tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos para pagar; nos hicieron sentarnos en una zona de espera donde había una alfombra empapada (no sé por qué). Mientras esperábamos, pasó un hombre sin hogar, se saltó la fila sin pagar y nadie lo detuvo. Se dirigió hacia la parte trasera del restaurante y, desafortunadamente para mí y mi familia, ahí era precisamente donde nos habían sentado. El hombre empezó a tomar los platos limpios y a apilarlos, y nadie decía nada. Tuve que avisar a una empleada, quien le indicó que no podía hacer eso; él se detuvo, tomó un plato y comenzó a llenarlo de verduras y carne para que se lo cocinaran. Yo estaba esperando detrás de él, y él seguía tomando comida para un tercer plato, hasta que la empleada volvió a decirle que no podía hacerlo; finalmente, se quedó con uno de los tres platos, mientras que los otros dos fueron a parar a la basura, arrojados allí por los empleados. Tomé un plato --haciendo un gran esfuerzo por seguir dispuesto a comer allí--, pero mientras este hombre esperaba su comida, se puso a deambular por la zona y comenzó a tocar las cucharas y los tenedores sin motivo alguno. Una vez más, la empleada le pidió que dejara de hacerlo. Cuando los pedidos estuvieron listos, él tomó mi plato por error; eso fue la gota que colmó el vaso para mí, así que decidí abandonar el lugar. Ahora me pregunto: ¿por qué tenemos que presenciar todo esto? ¿Y acaso nadie habría hecho nada al respecto si yo no hubiera dicho nada?

Somehow, one of the very best is hiding right here in little old Tehachapi. The chicken tikka masala is so good I'd consider putting it in a thermos and taking it on my next flight. The biryani?

Everything we've tried has been packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and served with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you're eating at a friend's house--if your friend happened to be an incredible chef. Prime Bar & Grill may have "bar" in the name, but don't let that fool you. This place is quietly serving Indian food that could go toe-to-toe with restaurants in much bigger cities and come home wearing the championship belt.
