    Sushi is good!
    Rachelle P.

    On a mission to try every buffet in California! My hubby, our toddler and I stopped in on Thursday, after my nail appointment. All-You-Can-Eat Dinner Buffet was a great price at just $22.99, but food was a hit and miss and ice cream cost a $1 extra. Staff are sweet tho! Average 3/5 stars.

    Spicy oysters

    Im honestly surprised this place doesn't have more stars. Yes the area isn't all that great outside could use an upgrade. When you walk in the scene is very different and clean. We were greeted by friendly staff right away and constantly being checked on if we needed anything. They have plenty of options for everyone! Sushi was really good and they even have Mongolian bbq. If your looking for an all you can eat with a lil of it all this is the place. We will definitely be coming back.

    Very clean and inviting dining area. Service was very friendly and quick. Food presentation was great. Perfect for quick last minute family gatherings! We enjoyed the Cajun shrimp dish and dim sum portion sizes.

    Went here with a big group. We were initially put into the wrong group, but things were figured out. The food was good. A lot of options. The sashimi was good. The coconut shrimp was one of my favorite things there; it was like honey walnut shrimp but with coconut flavor. Very yummy. The cooked oysters are huge! Fries were well seasoned but unfortunately stale. Plantains are a great palette cleaner. As for the service, they were quick to clean your finished plates. However, they did not refill drinks as fast.

    Overall, the sushi section was well stocked.

    I've wanted to try this place ever since I heard about it. It's the former Japanese buffet, that's across the parking lot from the citrus Heights Sam's Club on Greenback. I came in at 2:30 on a Saturday, and it was busy, but not overly so. The place was very clean. The people were friendly. You walk in, you are seated, and they take your payment after you eat. Overall, the food was very good. I forget the number, but there were quite a few number of serving lines. because it was Saturday, they had the dinner menu all day, so the menu was expanded. The food temperature was very good, which can be a challenge at a buffet. They had a very good selection. They had a Mongolian barbecue, including shrimp as one of the proteins. They also had steaks available to grill. They had a large number of Chinese selections. They had a peanut butter chow mein, which I liked. They had four different kinds of soup. They also had American selections, such as pizza, fried chicken, and french fries. They had a very large selection of seafood, including shrimp several ways, including coconut shrimp, which I absolutely love. They had baked fish, which was very good. They also had crawdads. The sushi section is very large, it was well stocked, and it included three different types of sashimi. They also had baked oysters, as well as raw oysters on the half shell. They had a nice salad bar, and a good dessert section, including cakes that they actually keep in a cooler to keep them fresh. The one thing I did not care for, was a roast beef/prime rib. It was on a do it yourself carving station, which I felt was a bit unsanitary, To me, it was tough, and it did not taste very good. I actually had to spit it out. That saying, that's the only thing I did not like on the menu. Everything else was great. Even it being the dinner menu, the price was extremely reasonable. If you are over 65, you get a 10% discount as well I like this place. I will be back. Thank you..

    Ask the Community - Yummy Buffet & Grill

    What is the menu for the weekend?

    It's a standard Chinese buffet, Chinese items, American items, sushi, etc.... But on the weekend they have the dinner menu, and the dinner menu has more items on it than the lunch menu does.

    Is Monday 2/17 holiday? how much is lunch?

    Monday the 17th is a holiday, Presidents' Day, but I don't know what their pricing is going to be for the day. Best thing to do is just give them a call.

    Is there crab legs?

    No crab legs for the weekend or dinner service.

    When do dinner hours start?

    Mon. - Fri. After 3:30pm Sat. &Sun. All day dinner

    What are the lunch hours and is the same food offered at lunch as it is at dinner?

    I'm not sure of the lunch hours, but no, some of the food is different. The dinner menu costs a little bit more, but there are more things on the menu.

    What is the price for kids Saturday and Sunday?

    All day dinner,$23.99 per person

    $23.99 is that the children price too? I have a 5 and 10.

    5y $8.99 10y. 11.99

    What is the cost per person for lunch vs dinner? Thanks

    Yummy Buffet is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The price for a buffet meal is listed as $15.99 for lunch Monday through Friday for adults, $8.99 for kids seven to 10, and $6.99… Read more

There are plenty of food options here I wouldn't say everything is top quality but for $25 including all you can eat crab I think that's a great bargain. They don't have a lot coming out all at once so you may have to wait or come back to see if it's been replenished. They do have sushi here, but I'll be quite honest, not the greatest quality . Plenty of Chinese food options from calms , oysters, fried fish , beef broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, basically if panda express has it you can get it here. Most of the Asian food is mediocre as I would still choose panda express if I had the option. Service is friendly, definitely a more upscale looking Asian buffet than most I have been to. They even allow customers to purchase a to go box. I would come back here just for the crabs since I can't find anywhere else in the Sacramento area that offers crab legs besides the hard rock Casino, but that's twice the price of here.

It also wasn't very busy, so we wanted to give it a fair shot. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill fast once we sat down to eat. The sweet-and-sour soup was extremely oily and had an off taste. More concerning, nearly all of the food on the buffet was cold. The only thing remotely warm was the soup. When we brought it up, the server explained they were transitioning between lunch and dinner and offered for us to wait while they replaced the food. I appreciate the offer, but that doesn't excuse having a buffet--especially with seafood, poultry, and meat--sitting out cold. That's not just unappetizing, it raises serious health concerns. We chose not to stay and eat. Again, the staff was polite, but food safety and quality just weren't there.

Let's just say it make sense why the lot is full. The service was beyond reproach. Our server was attentive and detail oriented and never felt us feeling ignored. I couldn't see the bottom of the complimentary chips and salsa and the food came out hot and delicious. The three meat molcajete with traditional salsa verde (a family recipe according to the menu), pinto beans, radish, freshly roasted jalapeño, green onions, and sautéed cactus. Topped with Monterey Jack, Cotija, and Panela cheese was the star of the show. You assemble everything in a nice flour tortilla and you are in for a delectable and savory treat. The portion sizes are generous and the price point given the amount of food is also very attractive. We shared the molcajete and had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. I always wondered why the parking lot was so full but I longer have to wonder and I'll be contributing to the busy traffic in the parking lot because I'll be back for another round of molcajete.

The fish to rice ratio is glorious; they do not skimp out on the cuts of fish at all. My favorites of the nigiri are the yuzu yellowtail and the salmon. These two are easily the best out of them all (and the seared salmon belly, but this is only one order per person). In my opinion, the rolls themselves aren't too noteworthy. But I do check out any specials they have written on the board. We sprinkle in a few of the hot kitchen/appetizer items just to break through the routine of all the raw fish. Some notable items are the takoyaki and baked mussels - also the lychee sorbet for dessert. The staff have been great every time I've visited, too. Once, during a really busy rush, a waitress noticed that we've been waiting for our order for a long time and checked on our items for us.
