    Wide variety of food, but nothing really stood out enough for me to want to come back to Luxe Buffet.
    Peter J.

    I remember coming to Luxe Buffet years ago and actually having a pretty good experience, so I decided to revisit and finally bring my wife with me. Surprisingly, for a Friday night, the place was dead. Back then, I remember waiting 40 minutes to an hour just to get in. This time? We got seated immediately, and honestly... that already lowered my expectations. The selection was still pretty big with a lot of variety, so I started off with the seafood. It was decent. Nothing amazing, but good enough to satisfy the craving without worrying about food poisoning. The crab legs were ridiculously salty though. The biggest disappointment was the hot food section. I honestly don't understand how fried rice and chow mein can taste that bland. Zero flavor. The orange chicken and beef broccoli were okay, but definitely nothing memorable. They also had steak, though I can't remember which cut it was, but it was dry and overcooked. They also had a seafood boil section, but the shrimp were overcooked and the crawfish definitely didn't taste the freshest. It had that slightly off taste where you start questioning if you should keep eating it. Ironically, the best thing I had all night was the Mongolian BBQ. That was actually really good and probably the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. But that's also the disappointing part. If my favorite thing at a buffet is the Mongolian BBQ station, I could've just gone to a regular Mongolian BBQ spot, paid less, and probably enjoyed the meal more. The service also felt pretty off throughout the night. Most of the servers, the workers behind the buffet line, and even the bussers didn't seem friendly at all. Everything just felt slow and low energy, like nobody really wanted to be there. Not the worst buffet experience, but definitely nowhere near as good as I remembered it years ago.

    Went on a Sunday and I would say only some things are worth it from here. The quality unfortunately did go down over the years. * I recommend the Mongolia BBQ! The taste is actually so delicious. You can pick your own ingredients & they cook it for you! * Surprisingly, the fries were tasty as well! * Some salmon sashimi pieces & the crab legs were yummy! The salmon sashimi was good, but I did notice some pieces were not fresh, and some even looked inedible because there was a green/black residue on it. The other pieces of sashimi were lacking and it didn't taste fresh. In addition, the sushi rolls were okay and even though the new rolls would come out, it seemed dry and not appetizing. I used to come here a lot before 2020, and the quality drastically dropped. Service: Pretty okay, but it was never bad, they just took a while to get the plates off the table Ambiance: Old fashioned, in need of a remodel to make it feel lively again.

    Luxe Buffet - Ontario, CA If you love seafood, THIS is the spot for you! Heavy on the seafood in the best way--lobster, crab legs, sushi, shrimp on shrimp on shrimp ‍ There was so much to choose from that I honestly couldn't try everything, but what I did have was sooo good. I really enjoyed the sushi, coconut shrimp, fried shrimp, chow mein, fresh fruit, and dessert Everything tasted fresh (nothing sitting around or old), and the variety was impressive. They even had Mongolian food made fresh to order, which was a nice surprise Plus... a chocolate fountain because why not? Highly recommend if you're a seafood lover and can EAT eat Come hungry!

    Sometimes, during a long day of day activity and you forgot to grab breakfast and lunch, and dinner is around the corner, hunger starts kicking in high gear; everything and ANYthing sounds great! After looking around for a Chinese gourmet restaurant, we just happened to be in the Ontario mall area and found that this establishment, "The Luxe Buffet" was opened and they just had their Grand Opening. On top of that, a quick google and IG search revealed the all you can eat Lobster during dinner time. We were hooked and wanted to try this place out!! While it was not too far from the freeways and Ontario Mall, it was tucked into the corner of the Main Street and so it a little tricky following the GPS to get there. Once there, a big parking lot is available for you to park anywhere! Walked in and was greeted immediately by the warm friendly staff and servers. The dinning hall was packed with people and we didn't have to wait at all when we arrived for the walk in. The time was about 4:30pm. Entrance was pretty well taken care of and clean. Reception and interior decor reminded me of crystal palaces and shining bright objects. In the main facility, there are rows of cushion table/seats setup and there are rows of regular open chair and table setups.i didn't get a good count but there has to be roughly 24 booths seating up to 4 comfortably and roughly 40-50 regular square/rectangular tables seating up to 4-6 people. With so many selections to choose from, the choices that you can make for a meal is endless. You have your typical assortment of Stir Fries, open sushi rolls, seafood area, soups from various kinds including the crabmeat soup, a delicacy only served during weddings and special occasions, a Mongolian grill area, dessert based on macaroons and every kids favorite, ice cream cart and machine. This place gave me nostalgic through memory lanes back in the early 90's. The food is great. It is a bit pricey for dinner, but worth it!! Come hungry and you will be left satisfy and fulfilled.

    Alright. We were hungry pretty much our 1st meal of the day at 7pm. Okay where to start I think we got there right before the dinner rush. Food seems to be left over. Some food cold and over cooked. When we got our 1st plate boyfriend got the brisket super dry and over cooked. I got a duck and dome other things 1st round left over.. 2nd round more people starting to show/ there were people already there enjoy their meal. Then this was the rush it seems. More food and freshly cooked Brisket warm still a bit dry, duck fresh. I had muscle and i wasn't expecting it to be cold but it was and i think that how they prepare it I'm use to it being warm with the mayo and cheese topping. Not bad but prefer it hot. Everything was mid. Typical buffet i would say. Just looks fancy due to decor and name and since they serve a-lot of seafood. Nice experience i guess

    Crab legs :)

    Revisited after years to see if anything's changed, quality is average for about $35 pp. Most food was older and just lukewarm from sitting under the heat lamps for awhile. Came on a Monday night & they had lobster claws apart of their seafood. I mainly get sashimi, baked oysters & crab legs when coming here. Service was super nice though, our waitress constantly refilled our drinks & took away empty plates quickly.

    Every time we visit Ontario Mall we like coming here in LUXE BUFFET. This buffet is very near Ontario Mills Mall you can even walk from the Mall to this buffet. The reason we like stopping here is for their Lobsters, which are what we mostly eat here. Their lobsters are meaty and tasty. Their Lobsters Buffet is on the weekends only . For their other food we also like their Mongolian BBQ, and most of the tray gets filled fast. It's just that the service is kinda slow in picking up the used plate from our table. Parking spaces are plenty around.

    Food was OK. The service was fast and it wasn't a busy night. I went on a Monday night, but I saw that some of the sushi was old and has been sitting there for a while and some of the food that was being served looked kind of old as well if you're into buffets then maybe come here if not, then don't come

    Tried The Luxe Buffet on Sunday and it was a total letdown. Stale ingredients, dry and chewy beef, and subpar lobster. The hot food had zero highlights. Totally not worth the $50 price tag per head.

The rating of a 3 was because twice when I went to get a clean plate, there were two that were dirty. A couple of people left some used plates and bowls where the gloves and hand sanitizer are (which is in the middle of the food). I had to ask for a manager to clean up, because that stuff sat there for over 30 minutes. There was food on the floor, which created a slipping hazard. This was a "new" manager, who apologized when I showed her the stuff, and said she would let Corporate know. Why? If you're the manager, direct the staff. There used to be a great manager there that was constantly walking the floor and making sure everything was in order. He was fantastic! I'm hoping it was just his day off.

It was organized, safe, and still such a great experience. We have been coming back ever since. If you're wondering what keeps me coming back... First, the service is incredible. There is an older gentleman with salt and pepper hair who is always so professional and kind. He carries himself with such calm confidence and respect. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, but he truly stands out every single time. Second, the OPTIONS. The spread here is amazing. From sauces to fresh vegetables, noodles, seafood, fruit, and dessert, there is something for everyone. And can we talk about the watermelon? For some reason, it is always perfectly sweet. Every single time. I am a huge shrimp lover, so being able to make my own shrimp in the hot pot is a dream. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like it. It is such a fun experience. Pro tip: Here is the sauce combo I put together and it is chef's kiss. In a bowl add jalapeños, cucumbers, hot chili, chili oil, sesame oil, and ponzu sauce. Then top it with fresh cilantro. It is so fresh, spicy, tangy, and delicious. You will thank me later. If you are looking for a place that is comfortable, not overwhelmingly crowded, and consistently delivers great food and service, this is the place to go. We have been loyal ever since we found it, and it never disappoints.

They had great kimchi here, the hot pot content bar was very atypical of a Malatang place. Cuts of beef were ok, lamb ok. I mean, if you weren't lazy you could pull off the same thing at home, nothing fascinating. 'specially after patronizing Temple City's Migaya Wagyu Shabu Shabu House.....two totally different worlds you can actually taste. The Indonesian Hospitality here was excellent. Servers take extra effort to treat you like a house guest. And guess the highlight is the ice cream cup at the end. Overall, id say this place is better priced at 10% off.

The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

The decor is pretty nice and creates a welcoming atmosphere, although it would be betterv if the place was a bit cleaner, but it is what it is. One thing I did notice is that the tables are placed pretty close together, so it can be a little difficult to move around when it's busy. Service: We had a reservation for 7 PM, and despite it being a busy night, we were seated pretty quickly. Our waiter Sydney was very friendly and informative. Although, the restaurant was very busy, it was sometimes difficult to find our waiter when we needed some refills or wanted to make some requests. It also took a while for us to get the check and pay, which was a slight inconvenience at the end of our dinner. Drinks: Passion Fruit Limeade - it was very fresh and refreshing. I enjoyed it, but i think $20 for a whole jug is a little bit pricey. Food: Spicy Sirloin - The sirloin had a good level of spice that wasn't that overpowerin. It was very tender and easy to cut into. Picanha - got it medium, and it had a great flavor without being overly salty, and it was also very tender. Tri-Tip - I got a thin slice that was cooked medium throughout. It was a little fatty in some areas, but the char on the outside added a lot of flavor to it. Sausage - i think it was okay. It was a little on the saltier side, but still very flavorful. Ribs - The ribs were mostly plain, and I could barely taste the sauce that it had on the outside, but the meat was tender and came off the bone easily. Falnk Steak - i got it thinly sliced, and it was tender and nicely seasoned. It tasted good, although it did seem similar to some of the other cuts that were served Salad Bar: - The salad bar has a good variety of hot and cold items. I liked the potatoes and the lobster bisque. Sides: When you first start out, they give you some Sides at your table. French Fries - The fries were crispy, but a bit dry and they could use some more seasoning or flavor. I think they would be better with some sauce, but fries are fries! Mashed Potatoes - they were light, buttery, and paird well with all of the meats. Cheese Bread - THey were served fresh and had a nice texture. These were probably my favorite sides during the visit! Also a bathroom review lol: - The bathroom is nicely decorated, but it could do with some more maintenance.
