Buffet Fortuna

This place is ok. I mean I really didn’t expect much for the price I pay. I wouldn’t recommend spending money here unless you really have nowhere else to go. The food is a hit and miss, sometimes. Fingers crossed! Typical asian buffet, am I right?

My friend invited me to come in and eat with them. The minute I step into the restaurant without looking at the food. I already know this place is terrible. Once I go in area the take food. They look like over cook and leftovers from last night. I bite into each item. Taste terrible. I am a big eater but this buffet lose my appetite.

The food here did not amaze me. They have a variety of stuff; mostly Chinese food, some sushi, soups, fruit, dessert/​pastries, sodas, and sea food. They refilled the food at a good rate especially the sea food. There were families that were there only for the sea food, and they would pretty much take all of it every time it comes out. I would stay away from the sushi; it was not fresh.
The lady working there was nice though. I was looking around for the ice cream and she went to the back to get me some. Ice cream here is not self-​served from a machine. They pre-​scoop it in the back and bring it out.

Hace algún tiempo mi familia me recomendó este lugar, pero que decepción, la comida estaba sobre cocinada, no mucha variedad y el sabor ni contarlo, No vuelvo a pararme allu, espero que no me haga daño lo poco que me comi.

Totally below average: won’t come again.
Food wasn’t fresh most of it was overcooked.
Reasonably priced buffet; not worth even the reasonable price.
Left plates full and ate elsewhere.

I totally love this place I love their food is delicious! They have a great service everything has a great flavor.

If your craving California rolls this is a good spot not to expensive my gf and I been coming here for about 7 years now

Wow. Like literally wow. This place has changed so much since I was 9 years old. I remember coming here during my childhood with my entire family. As a child I remember the staff being extremely friendly, and the place was clean and well maintain. Today, I was kind of disappointed. The passing years have changed this place. The food wasn’t that great, it was edible but not delicious. The oysters and ice cream were my only favorites. Buffet Fortuna, should consider renovating.

Full, that’s how I feel about it. It’s full of good food and is very full of room. Drop in for lunch or dinner.

This place sucks booty. Everything here taste like a booty. All the seafood here taste exactly like the inside of a booty. The only good part about this place is that the soda taste mediocre. It taste mediocre because you seriously cannot screw up soda. Everything was burnt. More burnt that booty. Like wtf… No body here was hot. All the workers here looked like barbarians. If I could give this place –5 stars I would.

This is probably the worst buffet I have ever been to. The food was horrible old and dried. The sushi selection was between ginger, wasabi, California rolls and soy sauce. You would think that for paying 20 dollars you would get something decent. Never coming here again, I was better off going to sizzler down the street.

I live in the area and finally stopped in with my girl for dinner. We usually go to the buffet spot down by Bayfair Mall but decided to give this place a chance. Wow, umm… it’s just not good. The potstickers were hard and the food tasted not quite right. A bad combination of heated frozen food and sitting out all day baking under heat lamps perhaps. The clams were so overcooked they were falling out of the shells in the tray.
The desserts were terrible. They had shrimp chips as a dessert. Seriously. shrimp chips! And the sponge cake tasted just like actual sponges. Dirty sponges. But the soda was good. Sadly, the ice cream machine was broken so we didn’t get that.
I will say the staff was very nice. I wish this place would do a MAJOR renovation, kitchen, dining room, and menu upgrade though. Don’t think I’ll be going back until I see that happen.
Fortuna in Italian means ‘Luck’. So, if you go, I wish you much luck!

Not everything is good here. But price is cheap and if you only care about oyster and clam. This is the place for you. They have decent oyster and giant clam.

Took my Sweetheart here last night. it was the day after her dad died and we needed to get out of the house after a long emotional day of stress and boxing items up.
The food was good the price was good, i liked some dishes more then others and found my self content and full after the meal.
She had a good time there and enjoyed the food too.
We look forward to going back again.
highlights:
fried fish
crab
salt and pepper pork
seafood and noddles
clams
Disappointments:
lemon chicken
mussels
lack of options in the sushi

This place is a sad reminder of how nice it USTO be around here it’s sad to come here now as a kid I usto come here all the time now am 25 and this place sucks !!! Worse 30 dollars I ever spent the only thing that was edible was the rice and salad I was super disappointed I helped myself to about 30 cookies and put them in my purse so I felt less cheated lol

Okay we had a big dinner party there for a family member and I was really reluctant to eat the foods so my review is mainly on the place.
It isn’t the cleanest of places and it isn’t the nicest… but the staff was accommodating and nice.
Other than our large group the customers were really sporadic in the restaurant itself.
I can’t rate much of the food as all I had was a plate of fruits… so I am going to be honest my review isn’t on the food itself it’s more on the restaurant and the staff.
I’m not a fan of buffets either… so I can’t really give this a fair assessment in terms of buffets…
The restaurant is older though and can get a slight makeover.
The bathrooms really need a bit more cleaning up.
The fruits were freshly cut but some of them were canned fruits that they had put there so not all fresh.
The staff was patient and nice compared to some normal Chinese restaurants.

I was out rolling with my Uncle in his Shelby Cobra cruising around. It was a quiet Sunday. He wanted to take me out for Dinner and he wanted me to try out Buffet Fortuna .
I usually don’t like Buffets because the food is traditionally not to fresh or has been sitting for hours on a Steam Table.
I was skeptical about eating at Buffet Fortuna after seeing all the one and two star reviews .
I figured I would be safe as it was a Sunday Night and traditionally Buffets are packed on Sundays and there is a high food turn over. As it turned out I was Correct.
We pulled up to Buffet Fortuna in my Uncles High Power Whip and stashed it in their ample parking lot.
We rolled in to Buffet Fortuna and they treated my Uncle and like VIPs. He is a regular there since they have Senior Citizen pricing .
The place was packed with mostly Hispanic and African American clientele. I wonder if that’s why a lot of the one star reviews of the place calls it Ghetto. I hope not.
My Uncle and I were there for the Seafood. I was there for the Salt and Pepper Dungeness Crab and they didn’t disappoint. They kept the Crab well stock. There were folks that would roll up with 2 plates and load up Crab and stack their plates 8 inch’s high with mounds of Cooked Crab LOL. I had a guy cut in front of me and load up 2 plates with all the Crab and walked off. Lucky for me the Cook rolled out with another Bin of Cooked Crab and I was able to stack a plate or 2 or 4 of Crab LOL.
The Crab was Fresh and Piping Hot. The Meat was Sweet and Moist. people were attacking the Crab Non Stop. I got to give the Buffet Props they kept the Crab coming Non Stop. Their Black Bean Oysters were Nice and Fresh. Very Filling and Rich. The Salt and Pepper Prawns were good too.
The Wait Staff seemed nice to me. They kept most of the food well stocked and it looked fresh.
The Tables and Furnishings are dated. This is a Double edge sword. If they bought new furniture, I’m sure they would have to raise prices on the Buffet. On most of the reviews I’ve read people Complain about the Furnishings and the Prices LOL. Personally I don’t mind out dated Furnishings when it keeps the prices where there at. $ 15.50 seems fair, considering all the Seafood their offering especially all you can eat.
People were eating the Crab, Oysters, Shrimp, Roast Beef and Fried Chicken like they were getting ready for a famine. I saw one guy eat 12 plates of Crab. loll.
Everything I ate tasted fresh including the Stir Fry String Beans.
I had Soft Serve Ice Cream and Water Melon for Dessert.
I would say Buffet Fortuna is Ok. I’ve eaten at worse Buffets in Fremont.

ummm. I payed almost $ 40 for my friend and I to get stale food and horrible customer service? Asian lady was a bitch ! and the whole place smelled like shit and fish. I asked for my money back and she pretended not to hear me then she was talking to the other lady in Chinese and I just simply said fuck you. gross, dry, greasy, fruits have no flavor. don’t go here ! go get yourself a burger and fries at Nations which is like across from this shit !

Been here a few times. Not impressed dirty plates, warm food, food has been here for quite a while, where’s the fresh food? Noodles are hard. Place looks dirty. I think I’ve said enough.
Salad /​fruit bar in the middle looks like school food put into small portions that has been left there forever.

Ok… I totally screwed up!
#1. I was told this was a terrible buffet restaurant! #2. Because I’m fairly new to San Leandro and couldn’t make up my mind what I wanted for lunch today, I didn’t bother looking this place up on Unilocal!
Like so many other 1 star reviews here… I too will add myself to the list of people who will justifiably claim this place is TERRIBLE! Most of the the food is truly SCARY looking! What I did manage to force down my throat was tasteless, dry or greasy. Seriously, when was the last time you had REALLY greasy fried rice?!
I won’t get into specific details about the buffet items… there’s plenty of that already here on Unilocal.But on my way out I literally felt dirty and went to the bathroom to wash my hands. OMG! Filthy, broken down fixtures, busted up flooring… disgusting. I didn’t even bother to look around and just walked outta there in a hurry.
DO NOT WASTE $ 10 for lunch here or for ANY meal here for that matter! If you do not heed my advice nor that of the seemingly hundreds of 1 star reviews this dump has on Unilocal… then ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! I honestly cannot BELIEVE this place continues to operate. YUCK! I hope I don’t get sick!
