The food was a great turn over employee stayed cleaning they had signs for mask policy there wasn’t no long wait time
Great tasting food and with good variety of dishes to choose from. Prices of $12 for lunch and $15 for dinner per person is of good value. Highly recommended. Just a few minutes from Los Angeles Airport. My personal favorites are the Honey Glazed Shrimp, Garlic Shrimp, Orange Chicken, Dungeness Crabs, Beef Broccoli, their hot soups.
Chinese food, sushi rolls, shrimp, honey shrimp, egg foo young, fruit, desert, 4 types of soup, salads, beef & broccoli, green beans, mushroom chicken, 22$ for dinner, 16$ for lunch.
Wow its a good all you can eat place. The food is good and the staff is very nice.
First time here and I was kinda scared to walk in here but my kids insisted so I stayed, 😣 service was great but food is so dry and old and the taste was very off... tables are nasty and need some deep cleaning and utensils and water cups were ugly and nasty didnt drink from them. Paid $ 120 for 6 people very expensive and low quality food. Never coming back
Great place. People say cold food but it wasn’t even cold. Great food, if you want lunch and have $20 (15 and tax) you should come here.
Pretty descent Buffet. Food was good, not the best, but fairly good. Had good variety and the staff constantly filled in when they began to run out. The dessert area, however, needs more improvement . Definitely needs more of a selection. Not alot of variety and the fruits they had were pretty warm, didnt taste fresh. The service was good too. Not the greatest, but it was okay. And lastly, price was fair. Payed less than 100$ for my family of 4. Overall, I give it a 3 rating.
The food was absolutely disgusting me and my family left with our stomach hurting so bad that we ended up in the hospital. Service was good but the food was terrible. Don’t recommend
Theyve been closed for 3 weeks now Im starting to get worried. Was good while they opened, solid work lunch for loading up on protein and carb for the day
We love this place. Food is always fresh and available. Price is a little high even with senior discount, but understandable since the quality of food is great. 🙂🙂👍👍
The foods are good and worth the price. Very good service.
I only tried this place... because I looked at the reviews and people said pretty good things about... WELL Im here to tell you dont even go here. If youre looking for any type of quality food ....when I tell you baby ... the hot food out and it was cold... I was livid. I didnt expect a lot from this place cause... youre not paying that much for it but ... Youre bringing out hot food...why is the food cold... have often dungeness crabs and theyre smaller than blue crabs... take the sign down and put what your really serving... I definitely will not be back here... DEFINITELY do not recommend this place ....unless you just dont have no expectations for any kind of quality of food... To be truthful I dont know how they made it through the pandemic... when other buffets of better quality and standards didnt make it. Good luck.
Hood price not a wide selection but if u feel like snacking on different stuff good place soda taste like water ans syrup lines need a service soup not worth it dont try and fried rice if u go early is reheated.
The service is terrible. They don’t tell you they charge 10% for more than 8 people. They charge 10% tip right! But they still audacity to ask for more tip. After we proceed to say no, the cashier got upset and threw the receipt at my 15 year old daughter.
I honestly really enjoy eating at this establishment the service is good, the inside is clean, the food is pleasing but one thing I will say is that the fried blue crabs that are served me personally I feel like that the crabs used to be better before the pandemic happened I still eat it sometimes but not like I used too so overall, it’s a good place to eat that’s not too expensive, the people sit you down right away, and I think it’s worth trying.
Great variety. Super delicious. Highly recommend. They were busy at lunch time. Go when they open, less busy.
Yooo never posted these but me and bro went to grab lunch and saw a roach come out from the plates where you go to grab food from. Ngl we looked at each other and decided to pay the bill and leave. I’ve been coming here since back in the day since the pandemic and never seen anything like this from this place. I feel so heart broken but I just like I gotta let yall know.
Don’t understand how a this restaurant doesn’t serve lunch between 12-2 pm on lunch hours on Juneteenth smh a black holiday. Don’t try and capitalize off of a black holiday . Y’all should be serving specials on this holiday for your people not charging xtra or not providing lunch at lunch time, sorry but just pathetic.
The food is very tasteless. It is good only to fill up your stomach typically buffet
They opened today at 11am and i was there @ 11:45 and some of the food was not fresh. The steak, chicken on a stick, fried rice plus more was old and cold, most likely from yesterday or another day and the bathroom was dirty (in 45mins). I would think if it was open for 45mins, the food would be fresh and hot and the bathroom would be clean.
Not coming here no more my first and last time, I got coconut shrimp and there was literally a roach in my shrimp. The assistant just took the plate she did not even apologize.
Its true what they sat, with ni disrespect, that most places that dont look up to standards to other locations, will have the best food. This place does not disappoint with what they bring to the table. I went because someone said they had sushi (which they do but not the kinda I was looking for) they still had a ton of great variety. I would recommend this buffet to anyone and I will surely be going back. Also this should be standard but dont go to late in the day such as near closing time because duh.
Just Ok. First iced tea had no ice. Had to wait over 15 minutes for another. And thats only because I had to go get someone. Food was good, nothing was great. Sushi did not taste paticurally fresh. Bathrooms were not clean or properly stocked. I may give this place another try after Ive heard many positive reviews. Maybe I caught then on a bad day.
Absolutely delicious. Amazing selection. Worth every penny and more. Best place I have eaten in a while. On par with much more expensive places.The coconut shrimp is mind blowing.
Giving a 4 star now, Im noticing a little improvement. Besides that love the crispy or sweet shrimp from here. But I feel like the service needs to be faster it would take 20 minutes to get a drink or longer dont know why.
Came in at 7pm they closed at 9pm I ask if they have more food coming out they said no they were more worried about clean up and leaving them caring about customers 15 minutes later a group of 10 come in and all of sudden they bring out food I ask for which they told me they had no more lost my appetite. Their good be better customer service if your employes dont worried about leaving 2 hours early is a tough in this times but loosing customers your going to loose your place were you work idiots. But food is 5 out of 10 $25.00 per person with service like this go to McDonalds
Good food 😋 👌 1rst time🫶
I love the to go dinner buffet. 3 part styrofoam container for rice/chow mein and at least 2 dishes, plus an additional good sized entre container. Huge variety, dessert, salad bar, American food too. As much as you can pile on for 18 bucks.
Great food selection! The orange chicken was fresh and amazing. Server was pretty rude, she saw we had accidently spilled a drink and walked past and left us with no napkins or anything.
They have not been number one buffet for a long time. After 20 year, they used COVID-19 to stop having crab legs in the buffet. I asked for crab legs and one of the employee told me $16.99 per pound. Crab legs are $9.99 to $14.99 per pound in various markets. #1 Buffet need to be renamed as Average Buffet. Also that Coconut Shrimp need working on. Sometimes it is too sweet; other times, not sweet enough. #1 Buffet was the BOMB way back in the days.
This place is not the cleanest but the food is very fresh great variety and really good flavor and a little on the cheaper side then other buffets.Chocolate, Tapioca, vanilla pudding which not a lot of other buffets have.Service is a bit slow other then that give ‘em a try.Better around late afternoon early evening.
Very good first timer and fresh me and my boys are very picky with buffets very clean and all the food was hot would definitely recommend and definitely come again 👍👍👍👍
Watch out for the bathrooms🤢🤮🤮,it clean you get what u pay for here
Lunch buffet; mostly Asian style. ( wheel chair friendly)Protein: chicken, fish (several dishes of deveined shrimp and stir fried whole jumbo shrimp, mushrooms fish, calamari on salad bar, maked salmon, baked muscles), beef (broccoli only choice unfortunately)Sushi bar has about 8+ tasty different rolls to choose.Soups (4): 1 seaweed, egg based (2), 1 unknown to me.Salad bar: spinach, seaweed, lettuce, small tomatoes, boiled eggs, calamari, potato, coleslaw, artichokes, olives, and much more.Fillers: steamed rice, fried rice, white noodle, sweet potatoes, French fries, pizza.Dessert bar: 2 or 3 seasonal fruits variety of orange, melons, mango, etc. Pudding cream, chocolate, and banana, fried or raw banana, individual size cakes, and ice cream when the machine works.Everything is tasty and well prepared.Service is friendly and always around but overwhelmed when it gets really busy.Atmosphere is clean, comforting and something of the 90s or early 2000s. Could use a new face. Half is with booths, and the rest with chairs. Good for company luncheon and birthday party (you wont get help from the stuff though), It can fit big parties as tables could be adjusted.Overall a thumbs up and great value for the money spend.My favs are the sushi bar, cajon shrimp, mushroom chicken, and sweet and sour soup.I will include photos next time.
Nice place, friendly personal, tasty food, especially honey shrimps! Could be 5 stars if restroom didnt stink.
All the food was cold but some of it tasted like it could be good if it was hot. For it to be slow they did not come clean or table regularly.
Do Not Come Here. When I got here I told the Lady It was Just me. She DOESNT tell ask u if u want Lunch or Dinner. The Same Thing Happen 2 me as Another Customer. DIDNT Touch the Dinner Selection, But when it came 2 Pay. She Charges me the Dinner Price. With the $2 Tip. I paid $17.75 and only Ate Lunch. Food is So, So. Could b a Bit Better
Good and delicious variety of food.Update: as of 10-5-2023 this restaurant in closed, not sure if its temporary or permanently.
Ive been to many buffets and its definitely number #1 in buffets. Excellent price for the buffet. Variety of food. The exquisite flavors and on point. The employees are very attentive and clean the table every so often and you dont have to tell them to fill your glass with what youre drinking. All clean. Parking available also for the disabled. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A wonderful place for lunch or dinner. We visit this place often. Best buffet in Hawthorne. IT truly is #1😊
Typical Chinese buffet... but the selection was great and taste good on most of the dishes. Wish it was bit more clean and more orderly. Also they should ask the customer to wear the gloves that they provide when getting their choice. The price is very reasonable and staff are okay except for one lady who was very friendly.
#1 Buffet is great I havent been since the Pandemic hit. The food is great they have such a variety. The greeters are very nice and the servers are there to get your drinks and remove trash or dishes. The food is very fresh they add fresh food before the tray is empty. I look forward to going again soon. The best part is its all you can eat!!
Great Buffet menu. My service thNige service and very attentive. Do you
Great food, fresh and frequently replenished when there are a lot of diners, friendly staff. Minus one star for the food because Id prefer a better sushi selection, but sushis not the main reason to go to a Chinese buffet is it? 😊
Be careful when its time to pay, the lady in front just makes up random totals and see if someone catches. We caught her and she adjusted the price and said sorry but it looks like she does that often. Food was ehh, they lagged it on the crab legs and other premium stuff on a busy night. They expect tip but are not attentive to the tables. We had to wave them down for refills .
The seafood was hot, fresh, and very flavorful. Definitely recommend anyone who loves chinese food or buffet. Would definitely go back if Im in the area.
Very disappointed. The name, No#1, fits only the number of stars they should get. The food was cold, which makes one wonder if it was leftovers from the previous day.If Sunday, they dont bring their best food, when will they?Not coming back
Above average #1 Chinese Buffet.
Food was really good..a bit crowded but the staff is working quick
This is are favorite Chinese food spot every Sunday. Great variety of food and it is delicious! I dont know who is in the kitchen but ALL the food is soo flavorful and fresh! I mean my favorite noodles and mongolian pork taste incredible! 😋
My family and I love the food there. Its reasonable and worth your money
Amazing food, you can choose among many foods options! The staff and greeter is very nice!The staff does an amazing job!💪👊They have my respect and admiration!
Ive been coming to this place for a long time because of the convenience and selection. But I took my Father her yesterday and had the WORST experience ever. Upon being seated the rudest hostess seated us next to a large group, I knew my kids would be bumping in to them everytime they got up. So I asked for another seat, she got all rude and shoved a chair against the table. We moved to a different seat, she then took almost 20min to bring our drinks in DIRTY cups when we asked for clean cups she threw our cups in the sink and started speaking loud in another language pointing at us. I kept trying to ignore her inhospitality but it just got worse. On top of all that she charged up a gratuity fee even though the service was thr WORST EVER. I was a long time customer, but will never go back. If you dont mind being disrespected than this is the place for you.
No snow crab legs for dinner, I went based on the pictures online. The shrimp dishes were okay. Didnt like the quality of the sushi nor beef ribs (gamey). Pork ribs were okay. Fried rice was hard and dry.
Friendly service and they took dirty plates away fast. Good food and prices too. Salad bar was my favorite because they had so many healthy toppings. Try garlic shrimp and rice noodles! Fresh sushi too. Would love to come back and support them.
This place had the usual Chinese buffet table fare but it tasted better than most of the other Chinese buffets I have gone to. The fish in black bean sauce was very tasty but a bit dry. I would look forward to returning here and would recommend it to others. The staff was pleasant as well.
Me and my boyfriend went here and it was a little vibe until we seen a baby roach crawling across the table it definitely killed any type of energy I had to go up and get another plate I was so disgusted the service was good tho ..
Poor food for the price ... this is $12.00 at best, not $19.99. Poor food
This buffet restaurant is just ok. I went there for lunch during the weekdays, and the experience is just ok. The lunch is $14.99 + tax per person, and they offer dozens of options. The food quality is so-so.
Not only is the food good staff is great ! I hardly ever find a place that cooks salmon without fishy taste they wash their food I love it !!
Great food and service.Next time we are there if the above is corrected this post will disappear. Thank you.
I absolutely love this place! I love the sushi, love the crab, & all the other items! I want to come back every week because it’s so darn good! I’m not sure if it’s still up but if you don’t finish your plate, each unfinished plate will make you pay an additional $5 which I personally think is a good idea. People need to stop wasting food & especially if it’s good food like this! I hope to continue to come to this buffet, really recommend it!
This was our first time back after it closing due to pandemic. The fruit was less fresh than Im used to, and the meats less tender. If it was our first time trying the place, we wouldnt return. However, we will return in another month or so to see if it has returned to its former glory. I know its difficult to keep a buffet fresh without customers to keep the food turning over.
They have quite an assortment of foodMade very well Food is hot and fresh always bringing new food from crab to vegies.Plenty of Dessert.
Took my wife out there for dinner it was pretty good only costed 46 bucks not too shabby majority of the food was good with the exception of the beef ribs which were exceptionally dry and flaky and usually the little ribs are good but they were not done to my liking they were quite chewy in fact and had trouble coming out the bone but other than that this place has always been a great place to eat and I have no problems with coming back here and spending money great customer service ladies were pleasantly helpful and its recommended to come here.
Best Buffet I have been to in a long, long time. Owner and staff are super nice too. The place was packed at 3 in the afternoon and I could see why after dining there. Plenty of American items (like the best beef ribs) on offer as well as a fantastic salad bar too. I will be going back there to eat (and probably weekly) very soon.
This is the worst place lost my money coming here nasty food here
The food is freshly made, but I am used to more flavorful foods. I recommend anyone to come here. The staff is also frieny and seem to be hard workers.
First of all they didnt ask how old werre the kids they just assumed they were older than 3 and charged us for them.Some of the food wasnt appetizing and a little to salty . They dont have alot of desserts & the food is okay not great .
I love sea food especially the sushi really fresh and really tasty... like almost every buffet the they also have pizza and out of all the ones I been to and tried this one was way taster than the other places. I do wish they can fix a little of the interior and exterior a bit so more ppl can know out this place and want to try out there food
Great buffet option. We went during lunch, and the food options I took was delicious. Definite recommend.
The food was delicious but not much choices like before. Overall it was good 👍🏽 Customer service was great though 😍
Ive been coming to this buffet for 19+ years,Prior covid, food was delicious, fresh and staff always and still very welcoming! But now that they have opened after being closed due to Covid, I was quite disappointed with the variety they had being dinner time. Their crispy fried shrimp was definitely not good like before. The food looked dry, tasted not so fresh. They added a 10% surcharge to the overall total, which Im okay with, so as long as they have better variety next time.
U must come in and try i surely recommend butbu must be very hungry and with pleanty of room in that belly to take advantage of their buffett sale.
I enjoy buffets, but I am not cool with flies in my food!! Then when I showed them, they said I put it there. Dont eat here, health risk for sure!
In my opinion the food taste like its been cooked in the same oil and pan many of the items taste the same even if they are different, and this resulted in me getting sick of my stomach.. When I was here there were two men who were not wearing their masks around the food and one of them was talking on the phone so I know for sure that there were germs coming out of his mouth when he was grabbing food and he did it about 3 or 4 times when I was there. I spoke to 2 employees about this but they did not do anything about it. So we had to get up and leave and I am not being exaggerated but I was with my small children and find it totally disrespectful and very unhygienic for someone to be speaking above the food that other people will be eating I will not risk my childs life for the unresponsibility of others vaccinated or not, and the fact that the employees did not do anything about it.
Ive been eating at #1Buffet for many years. Im sure Ive done a survey on them as well. Nevertheless, theres always a good time to be had at #1 Buffet.Its Asian owned. Very small but roomy enough. Years ago the price was $9.99 per person. Its now $15. Still a very good value for all u can eat.The food is absolutely excellent. A wide variety to select from. About 6 different styles of shrimp or more, my favorite. Multiple choices of chicken. A very generous select of cold sea food. And great deserves to choose from. Even ice cream.Because its mostly very busy, the help almost cant keep the place clean. Used napkins and food on the floor. Dirty dishes on the tables. But honestly, it all gets cleaned up rather quickly. And a generous parking lot.Overall, its a great place for breakfast and/or dinner.
Been going there for over 10 years and always really like the food last time I was in there the manager was swatting flies with one of those electric tennis rackets by the food for 20 minutes I dont think Ill be going back and its a shame cuz I really like the food
Went here with a friend for lunch and the food was all cold and old, there were flies EVERYWHERE even on the food, the table we sat at was sticky from not being clean and they only checked up on us once.
If youre going for the crab its going to be from 25 to $26 on the weekends they just bumped the price to dinner the food is good they just need to clean better there cups because they feel and look very dirty
My dear 87 year old friend was brought here a few years ago and asked if Id bring her back for her birthday last year. I did. It was really good! We came again for her bday celebration again this year and it didnt disappoint! The food selection is diverse and delicious and for the most part keep fully stocked. The staff was kind and attentive and it was reasonably priced. I will go back. This time, with my husband!
Have been coming here for over a decade. Decided to go after I hadn’t gone in a while. Food was not good, service is not what it used to be. I won’t be coming back to this restaurant.
I found this place last year after my wedding I was so hungry I couldnt wait for my wedding to end we came to the home buffet see not a good tasting food they had there now Im planning my birthday there on December 4th
The food was good and hot French 😋😋
Good restaurant.Everything is delicious.Employees are friendly.
I was really excited to see this place was open again. I used to eat here all the time.I was a bit disappointed when I got there, though. The food just isnt as good as it once was, and the price is higher.Maybe itll get better after theyve been up and running again for a little while, but right now its just not as good as it was.
Only thing I didnt like is they allow 1 person to take all three steam crab legs I waited 2 hrs.. for more so I can grab some never happened.
Food its good but the staff always mad Specially when asking for drinks thats when your even able to get there attention. When they take your dirty plates they literally throw them its always loud your gonna be always jumpy cuz they keep throwing those plates 🍽
Food not good, personal ask tips but not to do anything for tips, the hall stinks, especially in the far right corner from the entrance. I do not advise.
Food was ok, customer service ok, and the atmosphere was a little too crowded
Food was subpar barely edible at 20 a person youd figure something would be good but everything was either too greasy, too sweet, or evidently left out all day leaving it to taste stale/ rotten.
The food is really good, wait time is about 15min for a family of 10.
Horrible service and food. We waited for over 15 minutes for our dirty plates to be picked up, and that didnt happen, so we put them on the next table over. The hot food was cold, the fruit and chocolate pudding both had an acidic taste as if it was already a bit bad. When I told them about it they were acting like they didnt understand what I was saying...but they sure understood every word about payment. The tables were sticky dirty.
Im not a Buffet person. My mom likes this place so I cane with her. The food was ok. Some items were fresher than others. The seafood looked ok but I didnt have any but there was a good selection. Our server was awesome and very attentive and earned her tip. I would come back with my kids as they LOVE Chinese food. I gave 3 stars because curb appeal is lacking BIG time and is one of the reasons Id never been here before.
My first time here & also last!I was driving around hungry & decided to stop here but will never stop again. This place is nasty! I do not recommend there’s better buffets than this dirty place.
1st time going enjoyed good selection everything well cooked, great shrimp selection just found out mom said Has been going for years havent been since locked down Shes glad theyre open again will take her might go today
Great food, lots of variety, everything fresh and hot. Delicious!
The worst buffet Ive ever been to!Supposed to go to a buffet to get full, yet if you go to this one, you will leave hungry...We went around dinner time. The food was cold and they seem to put ketchup in all their sauces. Normally even at a buffet I can find something that Im ok with and just eat that until Im full or satisfied. I honestly couldnt here. And to top it off they charged me 25%for wasting food! How am I supposed to eat cold disgusting food? I didnt put huge portions on my plate, I put small amounts so that I can try it and if I like it Ill get more but a I couldnt because it was awful!Even the corn on the cob was old and over cooked! How do you screw up corn on the cob?!Awful, awful experience!
I visited this place about a year ago and it was horrible. My friend that was with me last time I was here decided to join some friends here and then he told me that they really improved the quality of the food. So, today I gave it a try. And it was way good. Not perfect but definitely well worth the drive and 10$ for lunch. Ill be returning for sure
Good variety, lots of fresh seafood and sushi. 😍 Fair price but be wary not to make your eyes bigger than your stomach because they will charge you extra for leftovers! Always friendly staff, and yes its all you can eat even though that should be a given! Usually not very packed so good for groups.
The food was marginally good. The service was friendly but it is overall your basic Chinese buffet. Nothing exceptional but also palatable.
Most wonderful service ever. The people were nice and the food was 100% amazing I recommend coming here
Great services! The food was very tasty. I would definitely return
This is my go to place for unlimited egg rolls, sushi and tasty miso soup to get my fix. The food is good for the price. I like it better than a certain chain restaurant. The spread has a good selection in my opinion. If you have kids who arent too crazy about Chinese food and sushi then there is always the pizza, fries and ice cream bar thats typical of a buffet.The staff is very polite and quick to ask if you need a refill or dishes picked up.Weekdays are cheaper than weekends so if youre craving Chinese food and want options, I recommend this place!
This was my first time at the buffet and I did a takeout. The food was neat and orderly and there was a large selection. And the taste was excellent. I WILL be going back😁
I will give this buffet 10 stars mike the manager there is so nice and a amazing person he was very nice in making sure we were happy and had a good time i recommend it to anyone
Been coming here for years and the food is always satisfying. Everyone walks out stuffed. Theres always a variety of food including a fully stocked salad bar, sushi, various seafood and dessert. The wait staff changes constantly but they are usually attentive. If youre looking for a chinese buffet at a decent price you wont be disappointed coming here.
Although its a middle of the road buffet, meaning not the cheapest and not the fanciest, its my favorite. Great tasting food. Slightly better selection than most. Fresh food and decent price. I love it.
Could use a bit AC though a little stuffy. Otherwise, Great Fresh Food and delicious dessert 🍨 🥧
The food was great. My first time there. The children and I came to celebrate my daughter who graduate from HS.🤩😍
The food is good. It has s great variety from sushi to mongolian food. The customer service is always nice. It is also not too expensive. It is nicley decorated, and clean. There is arcade machines for kids, and they even have a pond with japanese fish. I would say my only concern is that they dont have the utensils to break the crab legs they serve. Other than that it is an overall good place.
People are fight over the crab legs and the servers are slow to react to that and no help.
I arrived around 7:45 and they were about to close thats what they greet me with I see it OK Im in a hurry I just wanna have dinner food was disgusting old No service whatsoever not even an app can on my table I had to look for someone to pick up the Empty plates Comparing the price to the nearby area priyesterdays prices is about is art few blocks more I dont mind paying for a better service and a better food.
Very good food. A wide variety of foods to satisfy anyone in your group, from the youngest to the oldest. Even the none meat eaters have a wide selection. Would rate 5 stars if service was a bit friendlier
Had Lunch there.Was missing the salmon.Food always fresh and delicious.Affordable price.Free drink refills.They have sushi too.Good service and clean.Been a longtime customer.
They dont have a huge variety but the food was tasty and I MEAN flavorful! We came around 8:20pm most of the food was gone so we had a limited selection. I have to say the cute little boy idk if he is Korean or Japanese but he was so courteous and sweet. Btw we stayed till closing time and I never seen such great swift team work.
I seen one of the cooks digging in his nose with his pinky finger. Then wiping it on a napkin while walking by the food. He seen me looking at him while he was in his nose, and didn’t even care. So if he did that in the front, I don’t want to imagine what’s going on in the back.
This buffet is absolutely horrible when it comes to their seafood, especially the fried shrimp. I understand over cooked at times rubbery shrimp but frozen and unclean. No No No. I pulled the shrimp out of its crust to inspect the first few ALL had their poop sack still embedded. I made mention to the manager and he apologized but made no effort to remove the disgusting seafood item. Where is the health department in this area. Add no rating by the health department visible..
The buffet was fully prepared and choices from American, sushi to my favorite Chinese Sticky rice with Spicy shrimp and expresso cake. There is plenty to choose from so I sampled as much as I could. I would recommend this for a full me up meal for $9.95 😀
2.5 ✨ Good food for a Chinese buffet but its too expensive. Other buffets offer more premium items for price range, especially on the weekends.
The whole reason I went was for the crab legs, they are so stingy with the crab legs.
I usually stick to the seafood and the sushi when I come here. The sushi is hit and mis sometines their rice is tough so try one if one is good the rrst should be too. They recently started serving excellent grilled chicken with steamed vegetables during lunch. Service is ok
Ambient of the resteraunt was dead and food was ehh, none of it was fresh. Plates also felt like they werent washed properly. Certain foods were bland and mushy. Used to love this place as a kid but not anymore
A very reasonably priced Asian fusion buffet, nice variety. The only reason I dont give them 5 stars, is the occasional Chucky Cheese factor. Most people that come here with little ones, are respectful and courteous. However, you may encounter an occasional clueless buffoon who lets their child scream and or run around the serving area unsupervised. I personally dont hold the establishment to account for such, as they have limited recourse.
Good flavor just a little ugly the place., but very good food
The price is very reasonable but I guess for a few dollars more you can get a better quality of food they did have some nice crabs nice soup but Im used to having a cheesecake at another Buffet down the street they have a bigger variety but the other one is $4 more I think so if youre just running on a small meal this is an okay place but in terms of the salad bar I wasnt a big fan I also dont like that the owner or the manager was checking I also prefer the crowd in the buffet down the street so I wasnt a big fan to be honest
I would have given 5 stars except the first batch of Pepper Beef was overcooked and tough. The second batch that I tried was very good.
Besides from being over priced and not having much of a selection a few of the waiters were very rude...Our 1st time dinning here and i can say i will not be dinning here again
A nice place for a great price, don’t come too late though. After 7:00 - 7:30-ish they stop bringing out food. Nevertheless, the food is quite good and the sushi is surprisingly good.
The food was very good.. No need to pile up the 1st time since its a buffet.. This was my 1st time there & I would definitely go back.. Price was like $11 for lunch..
Good spot, nothing special, just cozy and nice. I go there with my brother and daughter once every week or so. We always have a good time and never got sick.
Needs to be fresh. My bill was 98.00 for 4 people. No problem if the food is good and fresh.
Overpriced for on the go. Chow mein raste like fried vegetables, orange chicken god awful was uncooke, the fried shrimp was alright cold like its been out for hours. Did not like it so much. Plus no drink included
Food is good, even better than before covid shutdown. Prices are reasonable too.
The floor was wet. I almost fell. The food was trash. The waiter took about 20 minutes to come pick up the dirty plates from the table. Some plates were broken. Omg I am never come back #1 buffet you mean #1 worst buffet
I had a lot of good food for a very reasonable price. The staff was attentive and friendly. The only downside was both times I went I had rude obnoxious pigs sitting next to me. Fortunately plenty of other tables I could move to, which I did.
My SPOT for SURE for YEARSMATE MAA TONGA 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴IN MY CITY TOO#LAWNDALE #BONE #FAM
Delicious food nice & clean wonderful customer service..thanks Michael..see you soon...its me..LALA 😀
We enjoyed the quality and choices. The cost was well within our traveling budget. It is a local favorite, evidenced by the folks that crowded the place at dinner!
If you love shrimp this is the spot. Food is good and you have different options. Their dessert table should have more options. I would recommend it to a friend.
Excellent choice for a great meal. Very good selection of foods. Nothing fancy but great food. Definitely will be going back.
Decent food options for decent price. Highly recommend
I dont recommend this place food taste was bad like over heating no way Im coming back there
Lol Im baaaack! My go to place in the hood! Giant crab legs, raw tuna and yummy garlic green beans...ummm yes please! Hit up that sad bar first though, they have delicious seasoned seaweed, kimchi and Chinese hot sauce to top it when youre tired of regular dressing. And try that coconut shrimp!
Best #1 Buffet in the city of Hawthorne. Go see for self, please dont take my advice but i need a comment after you go-Deal
Unagi sushi, ice cream, mushrooms filled w/ meat and cheese, salt & pepper shrimp, and a varied salad bar is why I go there for. They have much more food, personally I think its good enough for the price.
The food is excellent, the service is very good, a lot of attention to the costumer.The price is fair. Im coming back for sure.
Pretty good place to eat. Not fancy but good food. They try to clean after each seating which is nice.
Food was not fresh. Place was clean enough no complain. Dinner in Chinese buffet normally more option and more fresh then this
Love the variety of seafood for what you pay. Food tastes good. Brought my family from out of town and they liked the food.
Is great to have a lunch here again, I really miss this buffet so bad, fully recommended 😋
Food was extremely low quality and cold.
Really great place very clean love going here I feel like it would be perfect if the prices would be lower staff could be more friendly but the best part of the buffet is the deserts
Loved it, got to go again. fill up my belly with good food.✌🤪👍eat, eat, eat some more?😴💕
Heard the owner is a scammer. Don’t trust this restaurant either. Be aware!
Friendly service, good food!!
I just love love 💘 this place they are very nice and helpful Im in a power wheelchair I recommend this restaurant very highly and the food is oh so good and not to expensive I have been going here for about 5 years and Im very happy
The waiters have no manners or any sense of customer service they gathered together near my table keep talking and giggling so loudly i couldnt even enjoy my meal .. and later they bring me the receipt, i paid and she throw the change on the table !!Spend your money somewhere else
I love the food very clean place
Absolutely horrible food, the place was filthy on top of the cooks fighting in kitchen. To add insult to injury I got food poison, the er said it was a form of botulism😣 NEVER AGAIN, if you want your health stay clear of this place I’m still sick as I type this🤢
The best Chinese place in all of LA the food was excellent the service was great
Glad that was dinner time and it was not crowed. Price was reasonable less than $15 more that $10 dollar. Thanks to my griend i had a good time.
Need more servers. Sever was a lil rude at times....Needs to update change carpet. Bathroom could be a much more cleaner restaurant. Food was great.
Good food, good variety, pretty clean, good service and also fairly inexpensive. I enjoy coming here.
This place is overpriced ($15 per person) for the variety that is offered. Senior citizen discount is only $1 and you must be over the age of 65 not 55 as other establishments offer. I will not be returning to this place. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
Food was decent. Wasnt salty and thats a plus. Youll get your Chinese food fix here.
Worst customer service person ever. I went their at lunch time but they charged me for dinner. They had some items their that had dinner only sign. I didnt even touch them. But this woman was telling that if we come during lunch 3.30 and stays until dinner 4 pm ! We have to pay the dinner price ! Which is stupid!
I always visit this place, food is great and price is according.Just wish waiters were more amicable, I guess is because they lack English skills.
Love this place my grandparents son and i make sure to go at least twice a month if not more. Would defiantly recommend and return.
Best place for Asian American buffet foods. Friendly manager, his name is Mike. He will make your dinning fun & enjoyable.
During the holidays, we like to stop by this cafe. Always clean. A good choice of food. Delicious. I would like more choice of desserts and fruits.
Waitress was great! Food was fresh and at a good price. Came for dinner. Dessert was standard. Sushi was sub par.
Very good food. A wide variety of foods to satisfy anyone in your group, from the youngest to the oldest. Even the none meat eaters have a wide selection. Would rate 5 stars if service was a bit friendlier.
Food was delicious, parking available, prices reasonable, employees need to be more friendly, employees have dry personalities, kind of rude.
Re-opened! Same items as before.They provide you disposable gloves to touch the buffet serving spoons.
Great price good selection of food.There has to be something here that you will like🤤
Not great. But affordable. Some things are better than then other dishes. The crab legs good.
I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was great and the folks were nice!
So dirty
Dont go week days after 5 because food are mostly dry and almost nothing left to eat ....plate mostly not clean well and i order a soft drinks it came oily, too scare to drink so sad it used be one of good Buffet but....
Very bad service the food taste ugly.
It was good restaurant considering the price and quality of food.
Cheap ok buffer place.
The food was not good like it was before the pandemic... the sushi rice was hard
For some reason it feels just sketchy eating here, like they just pump out the food to people an dont care about quality. It was my first an last time coming here.
Great selection of quality food. The price and service are also great.
Been here many many times. Food is delicious. Staff are very nice! Highly recommed!
A variety of food. Good price, but my wife and I got a bit uncomfortable and felt dizzy while we were eating. Also some of the chicken wasnt well cooked.

2023-08-17 01:20:01This was a quick stop for us because our car was in the auto shop down the street. It is $19 a person for all you can eat but don’t expect a five star buffet just the neighborhood style one. Family oriented and clean. The food was pretty all right. Hope to catch them on a better day when you may be. Some of the stuff is a little bit more fresh. They do offer a variety of things, but not too Americanized, and very on par with oriental buffets. You’ll find sushi and frozen yogurt, multiple shrimp, dishes and chicken dishes as well as soups. The customer service at the front was delightful, and he even offered for us to take a look at the food before deciding. It’s worth a stop by.

2023-06-29 00:20:46The food is decent. Came here to try their sushi, and its basic sushi. All other food taste like they should, though most of them are bland. Just sprinkle some more salt to your preference. There are not a lot of people so its not crowded. Waitress is attentive. Overall, a good experience.

2023-09-02 23:08:41Name Number 1 - yes right . Number 1 place to avoid..Unfortunately for me, before I saw the cockroach, I had time to taste the food. This is the first time Ive ever seen anything cooked to disgust me. I dont know how you can ruin potatoes or chicken, but these guys did. It was my birthday and the evening was completely ruined thanks to this institution, take care of your health and time, bypassing this establishment

2023-01-23 20:29:58A small restaurant, however, very, very delicious, tasty and yummy food. Like I mentioned is a small place but with a surprising variety of dishes. The staff and hosts were really friendly and helpful. This was our first time at this restaurant, we will definitely be there again, not just for the food but price, is definitely affordable. If you go, enjoy it!

2023-06-23 20:27:33Food - 4*Services - 4*Atmosphere - 3* because the place is running down, old wornout furniture.The food above average, typical Chinese buffet style food. Crab legs are the attraction for most clientele. The fried crabs were stale, unfreshed, and meat was a little spoiled. Notified the front hostess about the crabs.The pricing was fair and more reasonable than other little Chinese Buffet restaurants.Try them out and decide for yourself***Note: I only give 4* for the highest rating. No one is perfect.

2023-12-08 23:47:05The food in this place was really good but I’m giving them a 3-star for the reason that I think this place has been shut down. Tried going several times but they’re never open.

2021-10-04 03:52:45Very vibrant location. Very busy place and for individual the average price is around $ 20. They have variety of cuisines such as Korean, Japanese and Chinese. Food is exceptionally great. They carry variety of desert too. Very quick thinking staff and very friendly. Sometime you mat hit the road block due to language barrier. Try their fried crab its one of their signature dishes.

2023-08-25 04:06:46Good selection of salad ingredients and dressings and warm food. Peppered steak, orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and honey glazed shrimp were my favorite. Mini bunt chocolate cake and cream puff were perfect for topping with soft serve ice cream.
