Got sick here. We came during the weekend, when they have the good stuff like lobster, crab, etc. Of course I ate too much of everything, but our entire table had stomach problems after our lunch. If it wasn’t for that, I’d rate this place much higher. It’s clean and neat, the food *appears* to be fresh, and there is a ton of variety. Parking is pretty easy in the parking structure that’s East of this place. I don’t think they allow for reservations during certain periods. You’ll have to check.

Lunch Special $ 13(Monday — Friday, 11:30am to 3:30pm) Dinner $ 20(Monday — Thursday) Friday dinner & Sat, and Sun. $ 22 The food is okay. I did not see crabs or any type of seafood, okay Vegas«Seafood» Buffet! Sushi was bland. The only thing I like was the top sirloin steak! It’s already made but it’s not well-done which was perfect for us. Gengis Khan style of noodles was also a good idea. You can put unlimited meat, noodles, and veggies you want. The meat they use on their noodles is really delicious; you can even just get that cooked without the noodles! Dessert bar was whatever – some are store bought and some just taste gross. The rest of the foods were mediocre.

Wide selection of mediocre food. I went on a weekday for the lunch special… Seems a tad bit overpriced for the quality. There were no crablegs, no lobster, just shrimp, clams and muscles.

Came here on New Years and it was $ 29 per person for unlimited lobster. However, we didn’t eat here that day because we didn’t want unlimited lobster. We came back the next day during lunch and there was no wait. I immediately went for the abalone soup because I love abalone. I believe abalone soup is only available on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. After many abalone soups, I realized that the smaller ones have less of an ocean taste. Lesson learned, bigger doesn’t always mean better. If you consume about 5 soups, you’ve already made the trip worth it. The GOOD Stuff that I tried: — abalone soup — bang for your buck if you can down many cups of them — imitation crab soup — flavorful and lots of ingredients in it — coconut shrimp — similar to walnut prawns — crème brûlée — sweet and best dessert there — baked/steamed oysters — flavorful with a kick to it — roast beef was pretty good as long as it was partially fatty There is a hibachi section too. I wanted to try the sashimi but the middle age ladies wipe that dish out every single time I went to get it. For ~$ 20, this is a pretty good deal for what they offer.

Compared with the one in Hollywood, this one is much more organized. It’s a good value for what you pay for, but at the same time, you get what you pay for. Food is decent, nothing impressive, I don’t think I’ll come here often, maybe once a year…

This is incredible place. Food is amazing, chef is professional, people are happy. Them just need to add more vegetarian and vegan items like a veggie roll, veggie tempura, avocado roll. But any way, it’s good idea to spend time with a family and friends.

A very good deal for a seafod buffet. The quality of seafood and other items were fresh and consistently in stock. Theres a variety of items to choose from; such as salads, sushi, shishimi, seafood, dessert, chinese food, bbq meats, etc. Probably my new go to spot if I ever want to pig out and feel guilty after. The sushi items were fresh and much better than what you would get at other seafood buffets. The selection of shishimi items are also a huge plus because I saw people carrying plates full of it. Also, I’m guessing the most popular item is the crab legs. Thats where the lines formed. I much rather perfer the stri-fried crab legs. The flavor on those babies are amazing and you can pretty much eat the shell too. I really have no patience to be cracking open any crab when I’m eating :-) The BBQ ribs are also on my top picks list. I was quite suprised with the chow fun. Those giant pieces were so full of flavor and it actually tastier than any chow fun noodles you would get at a restaurant. The waiters did a good job filling the drinks. It however can get a bit annoying when they’re constantly after your used plate. I mean sometimes you’re not done and they’re already approaching your table to take them away. RELAX, it’s just a damn plate. Wait until we get up to grab a new plate, then you’ll really know that we’re done with it and you’re NOT bothering us during our dining experience. I’d recommend trying this buffet out. You wont be disappointed.

This place isn’t a Vegas Buffet for two reasons. First is price. You’re not paying $ 50+ bucks a person, so that’s the good news. The second reason is the food is not as great as you would find in a Vegas buffet. That being said, it’s decent. I’m reading all the one star reviews and honestly I think people’s expectations are way too high. What are people expecting for $ 20 at an AYCE seafood buffet? Staff was friendly and attentive. My buffet strategy is to focus on what the core of the genre is, so I stocked up on the king crab legs, oysters and shrimp. The shrimp was fine and I like that their cocktail sauce has a healthy dose of horseradish in it. The oysters weren’t the ones you find in a fine sushi establishment, but with a little horseradish, lemon and Tabasco, I certainly had my fill. At the end, I tried the hot and sour soup. Surprisingly, this is an item that a lot of places can’t get right. Usually too sweet for my tastes, but the one here was pretty good. Dessert bar. People are bitching about how small they are(What is this? A dessert for ants?!). It’s a buffet people. Get your lazy ass up and get more. The crème brûlée was pretty good and I thought the portion size was fine. It’s a buffet. A cheap buffet. You get what you pay for. I don’t think I’d come here often, but I would eat here again. Much better than Hokiddo IMO.

Interesting name, I sorta understand it since they offer a plethora of pricey options available at buffets in Vegas. I feel like it was worth the price point of $ 22 for dinner. Things I ate that I liked: 1. Crab legs — crab legs galore — meaty legs and claws :) My arteries hated me so much. Always go for the crab. 2. Abalone soup — it was so refreshing and yummy. There was one tender abalone in each bowl with a date — it has that Asian herbal soup taste. I liked it :) 3. Clams — there was a thick Asian sauce on it. 4. Seafood pasta — pesto sauce with seafood and imitation crab on it. Pretty yummy. 5. Sweet corn — I don’t know why I like corn so much. It’s the cheapest thing to eat, but I am a definite child of the corn(no reference to the freaky horror film). 6. Beef broth soup — an Asian soup with carrots and meat bits that reminded me of my grandma’s soup 7. Salt and pepper crab — decent, but I prefer the monstrous size of the fresh boiled crab legs and claws better. 8. Seasoned flounder — I like fish :) This was tasty, but be careful of the bones. I stabbed the space between my fingernail and my skin with a fish bone and immediately regretted the carelessness. 9. Mango pudding. 10. Crème brûlée Things I didn’t like that I ate: 1. Oysters 2. Seasoned oysters with thick Asian sauce. 3. Pink roll. 4. Uni roll 5. I didn’t like any of the rolls. 6. Strawberries were weird tasting. But I appreciate that they remove the stems for you. 7. Yogurt/ice cream The staff were quick to clean up any messes and plates. The bathroom was usable — it wasn’t the cleanest nor the dirtiest I’ve seen. Interesting tidbit: There’s a chocolate fountain there ! 3.5 stars. So much food. Total comatose after. I parked far to work off crazy food baby so I don’t know anything about their parking situation besides the fact that they offer valet. Whatever I did eat though was worth and better than any buffet priced at the same price point I’ve been to in SoCal. I went with my cousin who seemed to enjoy their made to order grill section too. Would recommend? Yes if you are looking for a buffet in the area :)

$ 12.95 for a weekday lunch buffet is a steal! Real Vegas buffets now cost $ 50-$ 60 a person… not worth it at all! Lunch ends at 3:30, you can eat past that time, but if you eat any of their dinner items, they will charge you the dinner price. They have delicious soups here: Clam Chowder, Seafood, Sweet & Sour. I had two bowls of each! YUM! They also have Brazilian BBQ and Teppanyaki which most other buffets don’t. Sure…not everything is good, but it’s definitely bang for your buck! *Warning: Validation doesn’t work here… I wasn’t supposed to get an extra 30 minutes free in addition to the 90 minutes, but I was still charged $ 1.

First of all, the name is insulting to Las Vegas and secondly there wasn’t a whole lot of seafood. The worst buffet in Las Vegas is probably better than this place. These people are shockingly stingy and the quality of the food is bad. I wouldn’t serve my dog this food. I went here initially when they first opened up and you can see the quality going down. Check out the rating details on the Unilocal.I was invited here for a get together, but I soooo wanted to walk across the street to buy In-N-Out. Even the desserts are freaking stingy with these snack desserts the size for infants. The cheesecakes are super teeny and you can tell that the desserts are store bought. Even the cup that you serve the frozen yogurt is teeny. WTF. The sushi looks like the sushi chefs were on there on their first day and were blindfolded when they were making it. I have seen better looking sushi at 7 – 11. For whatever reason, they have pizza and fries to go with all the Asian food served and looked weirdly out of place. Most of the people behind the counter don’t even speak English, so don’t even try to ask any questions. Furthermore, the plates are dirty. So if you want to binge eat on mediocre food, this is your spot. Otherwise, for that amount just go somewhere else and buy one thing and it will be better quality at that this joint.

Mama L. wanted to eat at a buffet so off we went for an early Mother’s Day dinner.(long overdue review) Arrived at 6:30pm and was seated right away, woohoo! 30 mins later it was a different story… The waiting room was PACKED and there were ppl waiting outside too! Yikes! Prices: ADULTS– *Lunch: $ 12.95(M-F, 11:30am-3:30pm) *Dinner: $ 19.95(M-Th), $ 21.95(Friday) *Weekends & Holidays: $ 21.95(all day) **Mother’s Day Sunday was $ 26.95… CHILDREN– *up to 3ft– FREE *3′ to 4’6″: 50% off SENIORS are 10% off! The setup here was kind of odd… the desserts section was between the raw seafood and sushi. Hmmmm? The food was decent. If I’m ever in the mood for unlimited cheap crab legs, this is the place, I’ll avoid weekends because it’s a madhouse! **Free 2 hrs parking w/validation(on Brand Blvd)

I have to be honest, I don’t like the atmosphere but I love the food there :) The variety of the buffet and quality are excellent. The staffs are kind and attentive. Everything is tasty but the sushi are the best. I really recommend this place but not for a date :)

This isn’t the Wynn buffet, but this has to be the best true«kitchen sink» buffet in LA. I’m defining buffet as «For a set price, you walk around with a tray and scoop a crapload of ready-to-eat stuff onto your plate with a goofy smile on your face.» There is a lot of variety here — sushi, crab legs, cocktail shrimp, soups, carved meats, oysters, Chinese food, junk food, noodles, desserts, and fruit. If you can’t find something you like here, you don’t like food. Sure, it’s not of A+ quality, but almost everything is better than almost every Chinese restaurant in L.A. that isn’t east of Downtown. Pretty much everything is a solid B. There’s a wait(30 – 60 minutes), but there’s a wait because it’s pretty good. Wander around, take a trip to HomeGoods, maybe take a walk outside to build an appetite. My wife and I just bought a couple random things at HomeGoods, took it to the car, and by the time we were back, our buzzer went off to let us know our table was ready. Even better, they play sports on the TVs! This isn’t a romantic date spot. This a great place to go with a group of 30-something guys and gals who love to eat all kinds of stuff, watch sports with no volume, and eat for 90 minutes

The food is good. The place is huge. It’s near the Americana and the mall so you can walk around before or after. This is a good place for a group dinner or even for special occasions like birthdays or a place to grab a bite with coworkers. Everyone can eat what they want and all will be satisfied. It’s expensive though but after all it’s a seafood buffet. My favorites are the miso soup, chicken wrapped with bacon and also the teppanyaki grill. They also a great dessert selection. They have a CHOCOLATEFOUNTAIN, as well as soft serve which is my favorite :)

The quality of the food is pretty good here. It’s pretty funny because they have a little bit of everything here. Brazilian, Mongolian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Armenian … Very interesting. My favorites: Pork ribs Mongolian bbq(slab of meat instead of chopped up meats to choose from) tip: bring cash for tip jar Chicken wrapped in bacon Oyster Crab All kinds of roe!(Never seen that before) Sashimi Abalone soup was the best by far!!! I had probably 4 of these(tip from a guy I kept bumping into bc we basically were eating the same things– add crab meat to the abolone soup!) Skip everything else not worth filling your belly with nonsense. The selection is not a lot and frozen yogurt machine was out! I was so upset to not get my mango tart yogurt. The price is a bit steep but if you ate like how we ate it’s worth it once in a while. I’ll come back for more.

Favorite buffet in LA! However, starting to get sick of it since I’ve been coming here more frequent than expected… haha Other than that, let’s focus on the food: VSB have oysters! Whaaat? Totally won my heart over when I saw. It’s at the left most side, next to the soft serve. However, quality wise… isn’t the greatest, they’re really flat and big, but still better than nothing! They also have sashimi and an assortment of sushi to choose from! Also, huge plus, they have Hand Rolls upon request. I swear that’s all I ever eat there. If you keep ordering, the workers do kind of get irritated at you. On the right most side, there’s Chinese food and Mongolian grill! Their Chinese food, honestly, is not that great at all. On the brighter side, they also have albalone soup and that’s usually gone the minute they bring a fresh batch out! There’s also crab leg and brazilian grill! To end your meal, there’s a large selection of dessert and fruits to choose from! There’s a huge chocolate fountain too! Service: it’s eh, but it’s a buffet… but the workers who makes the sushi needs an attitude check though. Price: Mon-Fri. Lunch $ 12.95; Mon-Thurs. Dinner $ 19.95; Weekends Dinner $ 21.95 Parking: Bloomingdales parking lot(unlimited time) or structure behind Vegas buffet(90 min free)!

Suuuperrrrr mediocre food! Me and my boyfriend came here for lunch on a Friday. It only cost $ 13 each since it was on a weekday. Parking is in the structure right across the street. First 90 mins are free! They didn’t have king crab legs for lunch and my boyfriend was so sad because he was really craving it. They have shrimp, salad, Brazilian BBQ, sushi, teppankyaki, lots of Chinese food, fruit, froyo, variety of desserts and a chocolate fountain. They actually have a lot of vegetarian items for me to eat compared to Zen buffet. I especially love their inari roll; it comes with inari and the light green seaweed all rolled up together. Their hot and sour soup is surprisingly bomb. I love how thick it is and the mushrooms they put inside of their soup are huge. Their cheese rolls are also delicious. The cheese is exactly like cream cheese so it’s extremely sweet and addicting. Not as good as Portos, but you know it’s good enough. I didn’t like the seafood pasta because it was super bland, prolly because there wasn’t a lot of sauce on the dish to begin with. Their egg rolls had too much cabbage inside of it, it wasn’t that good to eat. I ended up just eating the skin. The fries got cold by the time I got it back to the table, the grilled pineapple was a little sour, definitely not as good as M grills What I don’t like about this place is that by the time I bring back my food to eat it at the table, it’s all cold! :(so it wasn’t super enjoyable to eat because I like my food hot and fresh. They blast the AC on so it makes the food all cold.

This was my second time eating here and both times it was a lunch meal. I arrived about an hour before the restaurant closed between lunch and dinner. I appreciate that they do not rush the customers and drinks were refilled in a timely manner. We were finished eating at probably 3:15, but our stomach was so full we didn’t feel like walking in the hot sun just yet. I observed many people still eating and fresh food coming out to accommodate the continued activity. It is good to see the food turn over often and that the buffet is busy. I have eaten at so many buffets with my travels to Vegas and having family that loves casinos. I never have more than 2 trips and I typically waste the food because it doesn’t taste very great. This is not the case here. I still made 2 trips, but I ate all of my food. I had seafood pasta(it had shrimp, imitation crash, mussels in a cream sauce), it was so good. I wanted more but I realized I’d get too full. Shrimp Shumai and Crispy Shrimp Balls are delicious. I like the clam chowder even though it needs salt and pepper. Not a big deal, I just added it. I also ate some rolls and some shrimp sashimi, they seemed fresh. I eat the broccoli from the beef and broccoli dish and it’s clear that the dish is well seasoned. Overall the food is delicious and the price is great.

«This place is just going to be another Hokkaido» — I stand corrected. Came here for lunch with family on a weekday. The pricing is super low — $ 12.95 per person, which led to me to expect crap quality food and fish. Nope. Fish was really fresh — I found myself eating more sushi rolls and nigiri than I ever would at a seafood buffet. Tuna rolls, salmon, crunch rolls, and even their CA rolls were all delicious! On top of that, they had a brazilian bbq grill(from which I only thought the sausage was pretty good), teppanyaki, and tons of other asian foods like spring rolls, pineapple chicken, orange chicken, broccoli beef, gyoza, tempura, dimsum items, fried rice, and other seafood! On top of that they had a bunch of bready items for the carb lovers like these round buttery buns, garlic bread, and taro buns. Unfortunately, the only thing lacking here was dessert. The chocolate from the chocolate fountain wasn’t thick enough, the brownie was really dry and hard, and the ice cream was bland. However, their pumpkin pie, cheesecake, crème brûlée, and strawberries were really good! Overall, great meal for only $ 12.95. This is definitely a place worth coming to and will be my go-to buffet! I’m sorry, health.
