Downtown Buffet

If there was 0 stars they would have received that. There was a fly baked inside the food my son ate. Then 10 feet from our table there was a woman that had hair in her food. They just remodeled so I thought maybe would be a good experience but it wasn’t. I notified one of the employees who said nothing to the manager. It wasn’t until I told a second waitress that the issue was addressed. DONT EAT HERE!

Came here with a friend while my car was being repaired at the nearby Sears and it was a complete waste of money. I tried one piece of sushi and spit it out, and I’d bet money that the «sweet sauce» for the chicken was generic cherry filling you find at Costco. I know it’s a buffet, so usually the quality goes down a little, but there was nothing here that would ever make me think of coming back again. On the plus side, the staff was very polite and always came by to check on refills. To put it in perspective, even my Chinese-​American friend said it was the worse buffet she had been to.

This place was disgusting and way overpriced.

Worst place to ever go like oh my Lord let me start first by saying me and my mother got FOOD POISONING from the place & how I spent a week with out eatting due to the poor quality and conditions they prepare and serve food ! Do your self a huge favor or take it from me STAY AWAY from this place save your self the money and disgust you’ll probably feel after eatting ! Up till this point 2÷08÷15 I always thought I had a strong stomach but God was I wrong, let me start how my experience went ! First of all we weren’t greeted there wasn’t anyone at the front when we finally sat down we got our drinks (WITHOUT A STRAW) their selection isn’t very huge typical grade B buffet ! Only had a portion of steam rice Cho mien & Orange chicken! After that unfortunate plate I felt kinda funny ! I couldn’t eat no more I got this upset stomach not to mention the chicken wasn’t cooked properly ! My folks & some friends kept eatting I was totally done. Regardless of my experience if you do check it out I Wish you nothing but luck !

Had the worst experience ever… the worker at the stir fry was rude and couldn’t even speak English. took meat out of my plate, couldn’t tell me why. manager comes up to the table with earphones in his ear. Was very rude and didn’t care. didnt want to work with my dissatisfaction and called security only cause I felt I should get a discount since I barely ate, was still hungry, couldn’t take the rest to go that I still had on my plate. he didn’t know anything about his job or customer service and didn’t care.

The workers were very unprofessional. Our server, while refilling our drinks, practically spilled it all over my sister because he was in a rush.
They also began to clean the windows right in front of us while we were eating and made it seem as if we were in their way.
Very dissatisfied with the service here.

This place was eh. They didn’t have a huge variety of Sushi and some avocado rolls they had out looked like they had been sitting there for a while.
The bread and other baked products were burnt. It was not that good. I think they need to focus on cooking the food properly then rushing to get it out. Especially since they are dealing with raw fish.
The salad section didn’t even have a variety of things to put. I saw carrots and the dressing. No tomatoes croutons or anything else that goes in making a good salad.
Not a place I plan to go back to.

Went once last year on a whim and it was the worse decision ever made. Granted, they were about an hour or two from closing, but from the reviews here, doesn’t seem like the food is fresh, no matter WHAT time of the day you go.
Needless to say, about 10 minutes into my meal, I was puking everywhere. Horrible, just horrible. How this place is even open is beyond me. Even New Panda Buffet off La Brea and Rodeo is better than this, and they’re not particularly that great either. At least NP didn’t leave me puking everywhere.
If you must go, my advice is to steer clear of the seafood. All of it. It’s pretty gross here. But I would just avoid this place altogether if I were you. There are better places. The food court downstairs is where you’re much better off. Trust me.
I’m usually not very hard to please, if you’ve ever read my other reviews. Gotta be pretty shitty to get a low review from me.
Never again though.

This is the good place to go. Highly recommended. Any problem they will take care of it

This place is so disgusting the food is left all day in the same poor condition. I will be reporting them to the health department. This food was so bad that the table in front of us left as well. This food is stale has no flavor and they use the cheapest quality produce and condiments to make the food heavy. The meats are extremely dry. The food is so disgusting that people were literally leaving as we sat.

Well I came long time ago to this place and it was good… but I came back today and I was really disappointed. .from food to employees… next time I’ll stop by mc Donalds, I think they sell better food.

While other foods are decent, the Mongolian grill station raises this place on top of other similar buffets.
They have LAMB, no other similarly buffets have lamb.

This place completely sucks just looking at the food made me sick literally also insects were flying by the tables saw a hair in the jerk chicken not worth it at all if I get sick I’m going to sue
ooh and you have to give at least one star to post this review but really I don’t think they deserve that

Mediocre at best. I came along to the buffet with my aunt and younger cousins after shopping in the mall and I was underwhelmed. Mind you, my expectations were not high to begin with but I was very disappointed. I’m typically not much of a buffet person, but I can definitely distinguish between good and bad food.
This was pretty bad.
First off, options are very limited, and what they do have doesn’t look very appetizing. I tried their house egg roll (not good), some «grilled» pork option that definitely seemed fried and very dry, a spicy chicken thing (bleh), their chicken and mushroom (was the only thing I actually finished from my plate, and I got small portions of the above mentioned items) and some steamed rice.
The only thing that got them 2 stars instead of 1 was the Mongolian bbq grill they had going. Meat and veggie options were decent and at least I knew that part of my meal was freshly cooked. I do wish the noodles were a little better but it was decent enough.
Definitely very overpriced for what you’re getting in terms of taste and options. You’re better off eating at the food court for the amount of money you’re spending here.

Let’s be realistic here — it’s $ 13 for an all-​you-​can-​eat dinner buffet, so don’t come here expecting to have the greatest buffet of all time.
This buffet does have a decent selection of foods — from orange chicken, walnut shrimp, fried rice and lo mein, to sushi, oysters, and crab legs, along with a mongolian BBQ station. I was a little skeptical of the seafood, so I stayed clear of those dishes and stuck with the cooked dishes and the Mongolian BBQ station. The best way I can describe the food is «edible» — not good, but not bad either. However, a number of people in our group did not partake in the seafood, and, as far as I know, nobody got sick from eating it. That’s a good sign, right?
Also, the people who worked there were friendly enough. They cleared our dishes promptly and came by regularly to refill our waters. Although there were a number of signs warning us not to overfill our plates, thus wasting food, we had no issues with the workers giving anyone in our group a hard time about uneaten food.
Overall, not a place I’d recommend; however, if you find yourself at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza and are considering this all-​you-​can eat buffet, I’d say it’s worth your $ 13.
FYI — the buffet is located across the way from the TJ Maxx.

this place is disgusting! And it is very dirty none of the food is good and they have cucumber salad that is black

this place is a joke.
Everything is extremely dirty, from the table to the restroom (after washing my hands in the restroom i basically lost my appetite)
The food is just gross, my beef egg rolls was tasting like 4times fried fish, and the fish salad was stinking like that stuff has been in the fridge for AGES. I left after 10 minutes
Stay away.

I came here with my brother but I have been here before. The food is ok it used to be better I don’t know what they did different.

For under $ 15 you get many choices including a drink, $ 13 if you only have water.
A bunch of stuff to choose from, staff is friendly and attentive.
Their sushi roll selection is not bad at all, better then most store bought but not as good as a sushi restaurant, but I came here to fill my curve belly with variety and that’s what I got.
Happy!

So, my boyfriend and I were at the Sears Auto Center to get some car work done. They told us it was going to take about 2 ½ hours for service, which I thought was a bit insane, all he needed was an oil change and tire rotation, but that’s another review.
To kill some time we decided to grab some lunch. We figured the best place to go was the buffet with the intention that it would be more bang for your buck. Sadly to say, most of the food was not something I would want to over indulge in, so i was left with little to nothing that could be banging. I should have known buffets are never known for their lunches, this is when the B team works.
To start off, I thought it was rather crude of them to have numerous signs posted around the buffet stating «too much wasted food will result in an up-​charge». I had to be sure my selections wouldn’t allow me to waste due to this threat.
I got some mac and cheese. This was so gross. It was water down and looks like it was sitting there for a long time. The sushi was questionable. They had green peppers in a sushi roll and to be quite frank I’m not sure about the freshness of the fish. My boyfriend literally spit it out.
The wings looked like they were the frozen packaged wings deep fried. The sweet and sour chicken was served with what tasted like cherry pie preserves.
The few things I could stomach was the fried rice, beef and broccoli stir fry, and the vegetable eggs rolls.
For a meal so poor, it was not worth the price we ended up paying. We should have went to the food court instead.
