The server staff at breakfast make this place an absolute delight. They are friendly, accommodating, welcoming and inviting. The breakfast has a wide variety of American and Chinese offerings that was a delightful mixture. The coffee was hot and plentiful. Our server was a gem who remembered our creamer preference after our first day. His bright and sunny disposition was refreshing and made us smile. read more

Lol about $25pp for brunch buffet. Why the LOL? I don't know about others, but paying that price for Chinese fast food? NAWW! I would rather pay that price to go to a reg buffet that would include snow crab legs. Yesh, the quality was a bit better, and you get to dine in a fancier area. That was about it? Oh, they say no tipping required, but they be adding a 20% fee. Byeee read more

Trinity is located within the Hilton San Gabriel lobby. The restaurant was mostly empty for breakfast except for a couple of tables. It was nice because it was quiet and relaxing. The staff as always, were amazing. They were warm, inviting and friendly. They were also very attentive without hovering. I absolutely loved that they offered congee for breakfast. As someone who would prefer not to eat a sweet breakfast, the alternative was wonderful. The congee was bland, but it came with several condiments to add your desired flavor. The dish came with pickled veggies, peanuts and meat floss. I used all of the condiments and added sriracha; tasty. We also ordered their Chinese noodle soup and that was packed with flavor. The bok choy and other components made the dish. My daughter ordered their French toast and she said it was the best she's had. We paid approximately $50 which already included the tip. The restaurant was non tipping. read more

Trinity Restaurant - Chinese Noodle soup - Buffets Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This was one of our favorite places for lunch with friends, as people can get whatever that they liked at the buffet, then order some made-to-order noodle soup. I am so glad Trinity is re-opened with a new menu and a new buffet lineup. For this lunch meeting with friends, we ordered salmon, seabass, and steak, all were beyond delicious!! My friend's steak was served first, and the freshness of grill smell made all of us hungry, the meat was grilled to perfection, and the garlic, and butter added the right amount of seasoning to it. The seabass was the best that I have had in SGV in a long while, highly recommend it! read more

Trinity is located on the lobby level of the Hilton hotel located on Valley Blvd. It gives me the impression of a hotel restaurant that's not doing very well, so they came up with a concept of a 'semi buffet', marketed, hoping to drum up business. Unfortunately it's not done very well. Trinity has been on print and TV ads among Asian publications. So we came to try them. Thinking it was around the holidays, they would be packed. But they were nearly empty when we arrived for lunch. The concept is you have a choice of: 1) 1/2 lobster 2) steak 3) salmon or 4) prawns. They all come with a few Piet of undercooked veggies for color and what tastes like powdered mashed potatoes. For the second course, you can choose an Asian dish, like pork belly, beef tenderloin, Buddha's Delight (vegetarian dish) and a few others. The buffet part includes unlimited visits to their noodle bar, salad bar, dessert bar. Drinks are also included. The salad bar is basically a large bowl of greens. So it's not really a bar. The dessert 'bar' is no more impressive than the salad bar. They served brownies, breakfast danishes and what looked like mango pudding, but isn't. It was way too sweet and had a powder mix taste to it. One spoonful was too much. The lobster was big, but bland. It was steamed and didn't even include butter. The steak was supposed to be medium rare but was closer to rare. Very red and chewy. I asked for herb butter sauce on the side, they gave me some random house steak sauce. The prawns were fishy and briny tasting. Not very good. We had to add salt and pepper on everything. The second course was much better. The French style beef tenderloin had a lot of flavor and were very tender. The Szechuan fish filet was a nice mellow kick and both went well with white rice. Their fried rice with Chinese sausage and a decent wok flavor. The noodle bar appears to have many choices listed on their digital menu, but they all use the same broth and were very mild in flavor. They only give one won ton for each bowl. We skipped the danishes but my kid wanted a brownie, which was average. The chicken soup in the self serve pot was actually pretty good, and so was the sweet red bean soup next to it. The service was OK. Nothing to boast nor complain about, but at least they were friendly. Trinity has a lot to improve on to tempt the hotel guests into its dining room when there are so many good eateries within walking distance, and at a much better value. If it can create a unique menu with decent price points, it can draw people from the community, not just hotel guests. For now, I'd say it's not really worth it to come try their semi buffet menu. Perhaps their a la carte menu of Chinese food would be better. I think 2.5 is more appropriate but the Asian dishes were tasty and we didn't have to wait for a table, so I rounded up to 3. See my photos! read more

They had a pretty good deal for the holidays: a western entree, a Chinese entree and a semi-buffet all for $32 a person. The western entree had you choose between steak, a half lobster, prawns or fish. My family got the steak, lobster and prawns. The steak was a bit on the small side but was very tender. The half lobster was pretty large! The semi-buffet included Chinese noodle soups, salad and light desserts. There wasn't too much variety but the soups tasted pretty good. read more

Trinity is one of my favorite restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley. I've always enjoyed their buffet--it's consistently fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic Taiwanese and Chinese dishes that bring back so many wonderful memories. The noodle bar is a personal favorite, offering 4 to 5 options. I always go for the Hong Kong-style wonton noodles--comforting and delicious every time. The service is attentive, and the ambiance is relaxed yet refined, with a calm, classy feel. It's a place I always look forward to visiting. read more

We went there for our Christmas meal because my dad wanted to go to a place where the kids can enjoy. Well, it did not disappoint. It had a wonderful ambiance, festive but low key, very pretty restaurant that doesn't come off stuffy. It was their weekend buffet with a turkey added to the menu. The turkey was done well and the rest of the dishes offered were solid 8's. The soup noodle bar and desserts (both western and Chinese red bean soup) were a hit for the kids. 3/4 of the entrees were Chinese (hot), and 1/4 or so were salads, etc.. The soup was seafood soup, though a bit salty it was good. We had a lovely time. The wait staff were very well trained. Just know this buffet does not include drinks, coffee/tea were like $4.50 and soft drinks/lemonade were like $5.00. I'm not sure if cokes were refillable as they brought my nephew a can. The buffet is $24.99 so overall it was a great value. My 5 year old niece had requested to return! read more

The chef at the made-to-order station dropped a soup spoon on the floor and proceeded in using it afterwards to scoop soup for guests....gross! My mom kept raving about this buffet but I honestly think its just meh. For around $12 you get a majority of the brunch items which consists of mainly Chinese food. They have a variety of soups, desserts, and entrees, but the stand out items were at the made-to-order station where you can order wonton soup, beef noodle soup, minced pork with egg noodle soup, etc. I enjoyed the food until I found out from my cousin that he saw the chef use a spoon that he dropped on the ground. It seriously makes me doubt what kind of health standards they abide by. There's many other great restaurants in the area so I highly suggest looking into other options unless you want to chill around the Hilton hotel for the ambiance which is otherwise pretty nice. read more

was great. Just had our Thanksgiving feast here. Most western restaurants would go dark on the Thanksgiving day; thus a Chinese place serving Turkey would be perfect for us. Food was delicious, presentation wonderful, price reasonable, service very friendly, parking easy. read more

This buffet is located inside the San Gabriel Hilton! I came here for lunch with my family and I'd have to say, the food here is actually quite good. Not the biggest selection out there - they only serve a few traditional Asian-style dishes and a few Western-style things - but what they do have is undeniably tasty. There's also a tiny salad bar and some pastries and desserts, as well as fresh fruit and a couple soups to choose from. And they have a noodle station where they cook up a bowl of noodles right there for you! Who doesn't love a noodle station? I especially looved their salmon - soo incredibly juicy and flavorful. I could eat that salmon for days on end. Their steak was also pretty good, but obviously you can't compare it to what you can get at the big steakhouses in LA. My sister really liked it though. Definitely still worth a try. Overall though, for the price they charge per person I expected a lot more choices. The food is great but its such a ripoff because after one or two rounds, it gets very boring. If this place were more reasonably priced this would be somewhere I'd take friends but since its not, I guess I'll just have to pass. There are certainly more affordable and interesting places to eat at in this area. read more

What a well-kept secret for lunch! This buffet lunch is offered from Thursday to Sunday! For $25, it has a small selection of soup, salad, fruits, and hot pan stir fry. In addition, there is a menu with approximately ten order-to-cook Chinese dishes. The quality of the dishes is better than your average SGV Chinese restaurants. Service provided by Paul and Simon is both friendly and courteous. This is going to be our regular lunch spot. read more

Trinity Restaurant - Buffets Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This is the buffet inside the San Gabriel Hilton Hotel. Let me say that this place is NOT good....I would never come here if I have to pay. Lunch was $15 per person (which I think is way too expensive for what you get). There was probably about 20 or maybe even less options to choose from! They weren't even good! The spoons to scoop the food were sticky. Many of the dishes had ran out by the time we got there. And they have this "sushi" section with 1 thats right 1! sushi thing. And it was NOT fresh.....and their wasabe sucked. Everyone references the service....but ITS A BUFFET!!!! WHO CARES ABOUT SERVICE!!!! I would not recommend this place... read more

Trinity Restaurant - This is it....not many choices - Buffets Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I have been here for brunch and I really like it, but I decided to visit for dinner and I can't regret it. I ordered the 12oz New York steak from their Steak menu and I really liked it. The meat was juicy and super tender topped withc herry tomatoes, cloves of garlic and a hint for thyme and butter, the veggies were not over cooked and I think baked potato would be a better choice than mashed potatoes. The meal came with soup or salad, I got salad and it was just your spring mix garden salad, I have to say that the dressing could be improved, the cheesy dinner rolls were tasty and for Cheese cake was not super sweet which I really appreciate. The service was great, friendly staff and the place is just super clean. I'l be back. read more

Blurg. They have a corner on the market if you are staying here since walking is probably not going to happen if you are lazy, and there is not much in reasonable walking distance anyway if English is your only language. If I went for a stroll I would probably end up in a massage parlor than a Taco Bell anyway, a lot of the signs did not have English translations. The sausage is the best thing for the breakfast buffet. The bacon is too crispy, no me gusta. Think about that - me saying something negative about bacon. The fruit looked worked over and disgusting. The salmon looked like it came out of the reject slop pile. The omelette guy is a bit hard of hearing but I did like my egg whites omelette, at least that part was right, egg whites are everything. They have soy milk. That is the second and only other high point of the buffet besides the sausage. All together though, $19.95 billed to my room is very steep for something that basically translates to Denny's quality at chic brunch pricing where you pay for atmosphere and typically at least get a bloody mary or if it is a dry brunch (ew) then at least there is some eye candy to stare at. There was no eye candy to be found at any of the breakfasts all week. Fail. So get some bloody mary up in here. read more

What they have is great!! Just don't expect a buffet like others have said. Being in San Gabriel they have tough competition among Asian cuisine, but this place is decent for the price. Just lacking in variety. read more

Great breakfast buffet with many fresh options featuring both American and Chinese style items. Hot congee with many traditional accompaniments as well as soy milk with fritters --if you're in the mood for a Chinese breakfast. Otherwise, go for the omelet station, oatmeal, sausage/pancakes etc, and very fresh fruit selections if you like to go the western route. Overall food quality and freshness rate quite high! read more

Trinity Restaurant - Very fresh tasty breakfast buffet -- here are Chinese selections of dumplings, soy milk, noodles, fritters, and congee with accompaniments! - Buffets Near Me - San Gabriel, California

We were staying at this hotel and, feeling particularly lazy on our last day, decided to hit up the breakfast buffet rather than venturing out. Expecting a "normal" buffet of eggs, bacon, fruit, and toast, I was surprised to see Asian options (yep, I was so lazy that I didn't even read the reviews first) like congee (plus all the fixings like fermented tofu, pork floss, etc.), lo mein, steamed buns, hot soy milk, and dumplings. Plus, on the American side, they had biscuits and gravy - my favorite! Food quality was pretty good and servers were attentive / friendly. Price was $15.95 for the breakfast buffet - not bad for a hotel eatery. read more

For the price and the food, this really isn't that bad! Don't expect Las Vegas buffet because this is a 13.95 dollar lunch LOL The highlight for my lunch was the wonton! Really fresh and comparable to your typical authentic HK restaurant wonton. My aunt is picky AF and she was so impressed she got 3 bowls. I also liked their pasta and they had a large selection of soups. Pig's foot was also very nice. Ok basically, the food is pretty worth the price and I'd recommend it!

Came for the lunch buffet on a Saturday. It was about $14/person. Food options are extremely limited. Lunch also ends at 2pm, so they basically stop bringing out new stuff around 1pm. The majority is Chinese food, and include a shrimp and fish dish, vegetables, mushrooms, rice noodles, a noodle station with egg noodles, a seafood soup (fried scallops), a chinese herbal soup, American style BBQ ribs, scalloped potatoes, shredded beef, 1 fish sashimi (some type of white fish), a salad bar, pastries, and dessert. That is literally every item available. Even though the options are limited, the Chinese food is good. Not too salty and pretty authentic. The shrimp was large and fresh. The sashimi was pretty tasty as well. I really enjoyed the soups though. You probably cannot order those type of soups anywhere and I think that's what makes the buffet unique and worthwhile. read more

Meh... Swung by here last night (Saturday) because my dad's friend didn't want to go far or wait for dinner. We were the only people in there, which hasn't happened to me in a long time. On to the food -- we had some things off their Asian menu: a scallop dish of some sort, a beef stir-fry (with scallions and ginger), steamed pork dumplings (xiao long bao), lightly deep fried shrimp with some soy sauce on it, and a steamed sea bass (I didn't order, so forgive me if none of these descriptions make sense). Everything was passable, but none of it was really good. The dumplings were ok; they tasted like xiao long bao at every other joint in the SGV. The shrimp had chunks of congealed starch -- it looks like the chef didn't pay very much attention when putting together this dish. The sea bass wasn't fresh -- it was super fishy. I'd say the quality of food would be passable in a to-go styrofoam box from Sam Woo, but not from a joint that charges $20 for a shrimp dish. I'm glad I didn't have to pay. read more

I come here some time with my company for lunch. I personally like the food here because sometimes they have the followings items for me: 1. smooth tofu 2. steam salmon 3. mushroom cream soup (very mushroomy!!) I think they also have the chicken cocktail soup which is really good. Their service is good but it's expected because it's in the Hilton hotel. lol. Sometimes you might experience that they went out of food but just wait a little bit and they would refill the foods again. Overall, i like this place and i dunno how much they charge per person because my boss paid. heheh. read more

What can I say I wish I could give more stars! Food is excellent service also excellent.

So went to this place for Mother's day. My first impression was "oh cool" then after I circled the actual offerings, it was actually not all that. Lobster was so small, might as well be a crawfish, and abalone swimming in whatever sauce, it's like a joke. Place is nice, waiters are nice too, but food is meh... For $50, is so not worth it! Oh i think my bf, met one of his tricks here, bad boy! read more

Came here with a friend for breakfast on the wkend. The selection and quality of the breakfast buffet is definitely better than before. Besides the cook-to-order omelette station and the usual, there are also other items like a salad/sandwich bar with smoked salmon, turkey, sausage and egg muffins, etc. My fav is the yogurt station that serves plain fage yogurt with fresh berries and chef-made granola crumbles. Also, the fresh made juice are also a healthy option. Being in a Chinese community, they also serve a great selection of Asian items like congee, dumplings, Chinese donuts, noodles/rice, and soy milk. 5 stars are for their great improvement. read more

This restaurant is located within the San Gabriel Hilton Hotel. My family gathers here when we're unable to book a room for large parties at any other Chinese restaurant. Clean? Yeah. Tasty? Meh.

I like the sweet soups though. read more

Oh god is this place bad. Its not even craptastic! There isn't even a word that describes the awful food. I went there for lunch today for an "all you can eat" lunch and it was just sad. Only half the buffet tables had food. They had about 12 dishes for the "main courses". It was nothing spectacular... tofu, salmon, some brown meat dish, corn with breakfast sausage, just to name a few of the unappetizing dishes. They had a tiny salad bar. A tiny dessert bar with 3 items and various soups. Oh and a "won ton noodle soup bar" made by a stand by attendant. Everything tasted like leftovers! And not the good kind that you don't mind eating cold. I think the best tasting thing there was my cup of water. read more

The Trinity restaurant inside the San Gabriel Hilton is closed, at least for dinner. I'm told because of low traffic/COVID. So, the hotel bar, Jason's Lounge is what's open so that's what this review is for - JASON'S LOUNGE. Their (temporary?) menu isn't really extensive. We weren't staying at the Hilton but figured they'd have a bar and went in for a drink. Then we decided we were hungry and had their Burger and Salt and Pepper chicken appetizer. Both were really good. Few night later went back for dinner. Both the Rib Eye and the Filet Mignon were excellent! Not many options but good wines by the bottle available. Staff really friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu and happy to accommodate special requests. Appreciate the plates came out very hot. Ate at the bar both times, were about the only diners in their both times. Would definitely go back. Don't like the 20% service charge on the bill, so no 5 stars. read more

Trinity located inside the Hilton, at a nice quiet corner. They served breakfast and lunch buffet and that's the reason we here for. (Certainly, they served dinner) We had a nice get together with friends, enjoyed a restful but lively conversation. The restaurant has been well decorated with very nice setting. There were small tables for 2-4 people and large tables for up to 8-9. Several separate/private rooms available for larger groups' gathering. Foods were richly displayed along with dessert and fruits. The server at the noodle stand preparing a variety of noodle soup and wonton for guests. The followings were the stuff we enjoyed that day: Baked Salmon (烤三文魚), Beef Chow Fun (乾炒牛河), Daikon Seaweed & Fish Balls (關東煮), Pork Shank (豬腳), Stir Fried Shrimp (時蔬蝦球), Grilled Beef Steak (烤牛肉), Tilapia fillets (羅非魚片), Tainan Noodle (台南擔仔麵), Seafood Soup (海鮮干貝湯), Herbal Tea (養生茶), Red Bean Soup (紅豆湯), Salad, Fruits & Desserts. We loved them all! read more
