Pacific Buffet

I have never written a review for Unilocal,so this would be the first time only because i think this place sucks donkey dick, the bathroom was the worst part of the restaurant and was disgusting, it was hot with no a/​c so i was sweating while i was eating, the food was not that great, i seen a fly on the food, the ice cream sucked, and they overcharged us. I will never go back to this place. I’m very disappointed.

My first review, oh what a shame. I’m so disappointed in this place I’m not sure how to describe it, I just knew I had to write a review on Unilocal!to warn someone.
The FOOD:
One word. SHITTY, if you like your taste buds, don’t serve this trash to them. I’m usually never too picky about food, but i wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I left feeling unsatisfied. Not only is the food not fresh, it looks like it has been there for hours upon hours. The sauces on the food were dried up. I went around 5pm if that helps anyone.
They had a pretty good selection of dishes, but everything was bland and tasted like the worst buffet ever, let me rephrase that, the worst Asian food ever. Do they not taste their food before putting it out?
Not everything was bad, they did have a few good things, like the stuffed mushrooms and crab stuffed oysters, nothing too memorable.
The SERVICE:
Now some more complaints. The workers seem to have never worked as a server before, no refills for our entire meal. I can’t believe this! I would understand if the place was actually busy, but I swear they only had 5 tables sat and 2 servers working. One of the guy servers literally looked like he was trying to sleep standing up. What is this your father’s store?
The RESTROOM:
Fucking disgusting! I walked in there and looked around and washed my hands. I swear it felt like my hands got dirtier. The toilet was horrible, like an outside gas station toilet that has never been cleaned. A used toilet seat cover still on the toilet and probably fresh diarrhea in the toilet. God does anyone work in this place?
Last but not least. The meal was around $ 28 for 3 people after tax. I gave the lady $ 20 in cash and told her to put the rest on a card. For some genius ass reason this lady decides that she deserves a $ 6 tip and takes the cash and charges the other 50% of the check on the card. WTF is this? Ok, I would have no problem tipping this bitch if she refilled my drink once, but to think she deserves anything more than $ 2 for the service I received is bullshit. I was so mad at the shitty food and service, that I just wanted to leave the place and not even complain about her taking the extra money.

You’ll have to read my original review of the place. I still come here all the time for the cheapest buffet with decent sushi in town. But I went tonight at around 9pm, and they were out of almost everything and made no effort to refill it since they were closing soon. I get it… the buffet is super cheap, but if they’re going to neglect their buffet this much before closing time, give me some sort of «I don’t give a fuck about you as a customer» discount. I’ll keep my review as 4 stars and hope that this was just a late-​night problem, and the earlier menu is much better.

Yes, definitely not bad for the price. I have had better, but then again at a higher price point. Quite a few of the things I tried were lukewarm, but maybe it was just because it was 7 pm on a Sunday? There is no lack for variety– I must say I only tried about half of what they had to offer. Didn’t quite get to the sushi or the Mongolian grill, but it didn’t look bad. Overall I give this restaurant a meh.

I always go here. The food selection and quality is pretty good for the price. Love the sushi, love the red bean, mango, and green tea ice creams. Would be higher but the last few times I was there they didn’t refill the food and there wasn’t a sushi chef.

This Buffet is CLOSED for business (¹²⁄₂₀₁₁)
We have a NEW Challenger to the Buffet Throne currently ruled by Buffet of Asia.
I decided to give this a try as I didnt feel like traveling all the way to Buffet of Asia (BOA) on Rainbow and overall it wasnt bad.
They had a limited sushi selection compared to BOA but what they did offer was pretty decent. It would have been nice if the kitchen staff would have refilled the Crab Salad on the salad bar so I could have topped my rolls off with that in the abscence of any peel and eat shrimp, which I usually put on my sushi rolls.
They had the usual chinese fare = Beef & Broccoli, Lo Mein, fried rice, spicey chicken, spring rolls, green beans, those really really Red pork strips etc. They did have some small peeled shrimp mixed wt some other seafood in a sauce bu it wasnt the same as having peel-​n-​eat shrimp. They also have a mongolian bbq station where you can select meats and whatnot for a che to grill. I always pass on this as I dont want to wait when food is already there for the taking.
On the desert bar the offerings were a little bland wt premade cake squares, puddings, jello & fruit and NO Ice Cream at all. I dont know how they expect me to celebrate someones Birthday w/​o ICE CREAM??? They did have a Coconut pudding and I sort of overlooked the above considering how much I like COCONUT.
The dining room was pretty open and spacious and at the time I went, 2pm’ish, it was uncrowded and I got a nice comfortable booth where I was able to spread out my newspaper and read and eat at leisure. And at $ 6.80 the price wasnt bad at all.
The waitress could have been more attentive in filling my water, which was the only thing I was drinking, but overall I liked it and will definatly be back to try the dinner buffet where more seafood items are available according to the hostess/​cashier = both fried/​raw oysters, crab, shrimp, salmon etc. for $ 7.99.
Still, BOA reigns supreme and #1 in my eyes of all the places I’ve tried so far in my limited 5 months here in Vegas.

My sister said that this place was pretty good but she also came here on an off night once, so I didn’t have high expectations. My husband wanted to try this place– he likes Asian buffets. It was $ 7.99 each– dropped from $ 9.99 for dinner (you don’t pay first here, unlike Buffet @ Asia). The rating posted on the wall was an A rating, which is a good thing.
The food that I thought was pretty good: garlic shrimp (burped all night), coconut shrimp (surprisingly yummy), teriyaki chicken (good flavor), fried scallops (good), bbq chicken on sticks (good flavor), mushroom chicken (more mushrooms than chicken, but that’s what I wanted anyway), california roll (fresh, the rice was not hard, as it usually is at buffets), cheese rangoon (hard to mess this one up though), fried fritter (not greasy and just enough sugar sprinkled).
The string beans tasted funny (you know how sometimes veggies can taste either metallic or like dirt). My husband said that he could of gotten more taste from the takeout container on the lo mein noodles– it was very bland. He also said that the won ton soup was the worst he ever had.
There is a mongolian station (but didn’t see the raw veggies though, but then again, I didn’t check out the other side either) and ice cream station are in the same general area (see what I mean about kind of a weird setup?) — (the mango was really good– almost tasted like Magnolia– A Filipino brand found in asian markets, the green tea had some ice particles). The other dessert available were lychee (mmm), bananas (some more bruised than others), pineapple, green jello (no hardened outer skin either), red jello, chocolate cocoa cake (really good actually), macaroons, and cream puffs.
Some of the dessert food is right next to the salads; a little awkward of a setup, but suppose it works. Some of the dishes that I didn’t sample include: shrimp (with heads), crawfish (not a fan), sliced sausage, sio mai, pork bun, noodles, fried rice, and the salads.
The «Pinball Machine» effect as I call it– many of the asian diners (85%-90% of the diners here– later saw a tour bus outside in the parking lot) — were actually running for the food as if it were going to disappear immediately (just watch out). Yes, just a warning, you will be bumped. You will get «line-​skipped» as well. If there is a space, one will quickly be other there as well. Just letting you know what to expect. My husband couldn’t wait to get over there when it was all clear.
Sticky floors are denoted with «Caution Wet Floors» signs all over near the food stations. Be careful if you are wearing boots or heels. I saw an employee mopping up the floors, which is nice that it is constantly being tended to BTW, but still be careful walking in those areas. The food stations are not messy but it seemed like some containers were completely out of food. I noticed a man kept going to the cooks asking for something. I also noticed that a man seated near us, asked for something, and it was brought over to his table, because it was the second time he asked (they didn’t know what happened to it).
The décor inside is totally transformed from when it used to be a Black Angus steak house, with dark rich woods, dark lighting, semi-​private booth seating, adding to the anonymity factor. Basically, in the main dining room, it is wide open and pretty bright (lighting). There is seating (two lanes, one being booth and the other tables & chairs, narrow) on the side of the food stations, as well, located near the bathrooms. This is where we were seated, but the employee was sweeping away all the food (how the heck food ended up on the floor, must mean slobby customers, and it was still kinda gross after the sweeping). The busy hostess asked us if that was ok. My husband wanted the booth.
Final verdict: my husband thought that Buffet @ Asia is better– I agree. I think it’s a solid three stars though. I know what is good here, at least; I know what to avoid. Though the employees seem rushed, they are still pleasant and attentive (refills).

My wife likes this place better than I do. We’ve eaten here several times and it’s always been satisfactory, but not exactly anything to write home about.
First the upside: A large selection of items, including a sushi bar and mongolian BBQ station where you can select your choice of ingredients and watch them cook ‘em up on the grill for you. Also a real ice cream bar. I’m not a big sushi fan — although I have tried a few items here — so I’ll defer to the other reviews about that. A big attraction for my wife is the crab legs on the dinner menu. However, the quality of the crab varies greatly — we’ve seen it compare favorably with the crab at Green Valley Ranch, but also have seen the legs so thin they really weren’t worth the effort. But what do you want for $ 9.99? I really like the fried rice here. They actually put little bits of pork and shrimp in it — pretty unusual for bargain buffets these days. There’s a really good apple strudel — called apple pie here I believe — on the hot table that’s worth a taste with your ice cream.
Now the down side: While the service is efficient — drinks refilled and check brought promptly — it is not the friendliest in town. Would a smile or two really cut into the bottom line? I don’t think so. And the atmosphere is stereotypical, I-can’t-believe-the-health-department-hasn’t-closed-this-joint tackiness. If you are the least bit choosy (snobbish?) about your dining experience then this ain’t the place for you. But if you want to take the family out and not bust the budget you could do worse. 3 stars because I could (and probably will) eat here again.

So after reading the reviews for this place I figured we would give it a try. I wasn’t expecting it to be exceptional but on the other hand wasn’t expecting to be sitting here 3 hours later listening to my fiancée puke his guts out.
That being said, We were not impresses at all with the food while we were there. They would have probably received a 2 star rating only because of the cream cheese wontons, fast drink refills and decent ice cream but everything else was horrible!
I knew that we were going for a $ 9.95 dinner buffet but they could at least try to make something semi edible that isn’t fried or already made and shipped to you frozen.
I usually trust you Unilocalers but I must say that you guys let me down with this one.

Lunch and Buffet mixed together can usually be a pretty good combo right?
It depends on the lunch buffet spot you pick!
The first thing I noticed was a not good smell when I walked in. I was a little hesitant but I wasn’t buying so I followed the not friendly host to the back where she seated us.
I was impressed by the large amount of selection that they had. They also had a huge dessert bar that included a lot of flavors of icecream.
The food was probably luke warm and I am not sure when they had last changed out dishes.
The potstickers were hard but had good flavor and a good sauce.
Loved the seafood delight, stuffed mushroom and beef with broccoli —
but was disappointed in their cream puffs which had an odd flavor.
It was a bargain, but not something that I will go back for.

I came here for lunch thinking this would be much better than the Krazy Buffet but I was wrong. When I started munching on the items I noticed that they were barely warm. The food that I picked up was under the heat lamp too long! I noticed this with the Lotus Balls I could only eat half because most of it was too hard to chew. The pot stickers had crunchy edges. The pastries were toasty. The only positive thing was their Green Tea Ice cream, their stuffed mushrooms and the price. It was about $ 16.00 for two people. If you are broke and don’t mind mediocre food I would come here or you can hold out for their dinner buffet that looked a little more promising.

M-​F: (11am to 4pm) $ 6.29+tax (4pm to 10pm) $ 9.99+tax
Sat-​Sun: (all day) $ 9.99+tax
This buffet has many aisles. It has all the standard Asian buffet fare you would come to expect, you know, chow mein, rice, dim sum, etc. Outside of Asian food, they had pizza (which was surprisingly tasty) and quesadillas. Green beans were cooked particularly well. The mini meatball skewers were also particularly yummy. Overall, the food quality isn’t really something to write home about, it’s just another forgettable lunch experience. That’s not to say the food is particularly bad, but it won’t certainly stand out in your mind a few days later. They did have sushi though, which is a plus. I didn’t try out the make-​your-​own-​stir-​fry section though, mostly due to laziness and not wanting to wait. The cool thing (no pun intended) was that this place has honest-​to-​goodness ice cream. Not soft serve, but ice cream! And it isn’t your usual boring fare of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, etc. but a more eclectic variety of Asian flavors. What Asian flavors you may ask? Off the top of my head, they had green tea, red bean, and mango.
Also, the name of the place is Pacific Seafood Buffet, most people don’t see the «Seafood» part of the name because it is so very very tiny.

Disclaimer: I am not qualified to write an unbiased review of Pacific Buffet because if it comes from the Pacific I am not really jazzed about stuffing my mouth with it. In other words, AYCE crab legs don’t make my heart sing. Couple this with my inherent distrust of buffets, and I am pretty much guaranteed to not fall in love with a place named Pacific Buffet.
However, my husband adores both seafood and buffets, so we ended up here one night when I was weak and content to go wherever he wanted to go. The service is kind. The quality is decent, but I really probably ate a total of 33 bites. Everything was greasy, carby, fried or fishy, which probably describes several people’s dream meal, but not mine.
My husband did consume about 4 plates of clams, and even I thought those were tasty. (I am generally not a clam consumer.) Other than the clams, I ate some vegetables, soft tofu, and red bean desserts. The green beans were solid, but the spinach tasted fishy. The salad was turning brown, so I left that number on the buffet. The red bean cookies and ice cream were surprisingly good. I think I ate 4 of the cookies, and my husband proclaimed them worth the price of the buffet alone. They were darn delicious.
As I left, I realized I should have probably given the create your own stir-​fry section a whirl. Still, given my eating habits, this was personally a sad star experience. I had to do a burrito bowl later that evening.

Hold it!!! Hey if your going here please hope you don’t have to go the restroom! They are NEVER cleaned! The food not bad for the price. Just no changing station in the restroom and poop on everything!

When I Unilocaled this I wondered can I really trust 8 reviews and 4 stars? I was hesitant, but added it to my list of «possible dining locations» list anyways.
The food was decent and mainly Chinese though thus the restaurant name. I was mainly interested in if they had sushi and Chinese food to satisfy both my sisters and parents. The place was not as fancy as other buffets or as elegant, but hey for only $ 9.99 on weekends, that is decent!
Although you can clearly see them making the sushi, it is not as «fresh» as the ones I have tried, but it was still good, some okay. But this is just because I love sushi and expect something more. Other than that the food was good in general.
The best part was the end! I was expecting some soft serve ice cream like in almost every other buffets, but not at all. They had a variety of ice cream to choose from, as if you’re buying it from an outside vendor (with tub of ice cream and all). There was green tea, red bean, strawberry, mango, mint chocolate, rocky road and I think a few more fruit flavors. Quite lame of me to rant so much on just ice cream, but it just made my experience there much better!
Both my sisters and parents were satisfied so victory! Don’t expect too much from this buffet otherwise you’ll be unsatisfied. Keep in mind that this buffet is only $ 9.99 per person and is not those high class, 5 star food. It is your «gotta save money, but still want something decent that you won’t later regret while sitting in the bathroom.»
Bottom line: In need of something cheap to keep that wallet bulky? Ice cream cravings? Decent food? Then Pacific Buffet it is then!
Enjoy your stay in Vegas and its wonderful heat!

Pacific Buffet is one of the better ones. It is minutes from my office and lunch is $ 7.99 on weekdays. The food is not drenched with oil. They even have an ice cream section as if it is a mini Baskin Robbins. They also have fresh chop suey section with fresh selective meat and seafood.
It is clean and has a wide range of food selection! I definitely want to try dinner, since they serve oysters and crab legs!
I will be back!

Came here on a late Saturday afternoon with my family when we couldn’t make it to Wynn’s lunch buffet ($ 25 vs. $ 42)…plus my dad had a 10% coupon that he found from the local Chinese newspaper saying that it was the grand opening teehee. Anyhow, this place is pretty convenient, located 5 minutes away from the Strip. I was eager to stuff my face because I had saved my appetite all day to eat at a buffet.
The food was surprisingly fresh and very good, and definitely the best Asian buffet I’ve eaten at. The service is good and the staff are attentive. Although I have to note that the sushi was mediocre and not *that* good. Everything else was delicious. My favorite was the mini potpie filled with red bean. Funny that this thing was placed in the same section as the soups and other salty things. But nonetheless, those little pies of hundreds calories are amazingly addictive :) Overall, my parents (very picky eaters when it comes to Asian food) liked this place a lot and mentioned about eating here again when we’re in Vegas.

This is actually a pretty complete Asian buffet with the good things from other Asian buffets I have gone to. For example, they actually have sashimi, though the meat is kind of dry. There is also a large selection of ice cream, a frying station, a large selection of dim sums/​soups and because I went during Christmas, tons of crab legs and lobster.
The service is pretty good too… it is a little overpriced but I guess there is seafood. A fair warning though… you have to FIGHT to get your lobster. Right when the seafood is about to come out, there is a huge crowd of people gathered around the seafood area. They bring out a new plate every 10 minutes or so but the food is gone in about a minute… it is actually pretty amusing, watching Asian parents grab lobsters off the tray as soon as they can… it’s like real life hungry hungry hippos.

This is a good Asian style buffet. The food presented is not fancy, but cooked well and has nice flavors. The price is very reasonable (I am not sure how they are making much money charging $ 9.99 + tax + tip for dinner). Service is efficient and the staffs are friendly.
What I didn’t care for:
1. Their sushi preparation. The rice is either overcooked or overworked (most likely the case) to the point that it is a solid layer of rice (NOT good eats) surrounding the fillings.
2. Dinner plates can and should be washed better! Why not take a few extra seconds to check that plates are cleaned, before bringing them out for service. This is a minor detail that reflects the lack of care by some staff, and leaves a negative impression.
What I thought was good:
1. Vegetables were cooked very well, and seasoned perfectly.
2. Mongolian Wok-​style noodles.
3. Cold foods served cold and chilled properly; hot foods served hot and kept warm at the steam table.
4. Wide selections of foods and desserts.

3.5 stars. Wkend dinner is $ 14.99 but they have a 15% off coupon which makes it $ 12.74 or $ 13.67 incl tax. It’s not stupendifying but not awful. The sushi/​sashimi was ok although there was quite a nice variety. The 8 kinds of ice cream including green tea, mango, red bean, strawberry, coffee, vanilla were great = I tasted a ‘lil of each!
