Very clean restaurant and lovely customer service… We left an extra $10 tips for the friendly employees along with a lifted prayers from my family for all the servers and behinds the seen chefs. Very good food but did not like two items: 1. Beef and broccoli 2. Grilled chicken Everything else was super tasty

Went on a random Monday for lunch. It was busier than I expected but still easily found a table. The staff was attentive and friendly. Everything was good, highlight was a lightly fried fish. There were a lot of bones but was definitely worth the effort to remove them. There were a few items unavailable but again, it was pretty busy, so understandable. Total was $19 and change, left a cash tip.

After my second visit to Buffet House, I can say this without hesitation: this place has officially earned raving review status. In fact, it’s quickly becoming my favorite Chinese buffet in the entire San Diego area—and that’s not a title I give lightly. Let’s start with the most important thing when it comes to a buffet: flavor. Buffet House absolutely understands flavor, and not in the watered-down, mass-produced way that too many buffets fall into. This is bold, confident seasoning done the right way. From the first plate to the last, it’s clear that whoever is behind the recipes here actually cares about how the food tastes, not just how fast it can be refilled. The standout item—no contest—is the cream cheese wontons. These are not an afterthought side dish or filler item. They are an over-the-top explosion of flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy filling that hits all the right notes. Sweet, savory, indulgent, and incredibly satisfying. I’ve had cream cheese wontons at countless places, and these are easily among the best I’ve ever had—buffet or otherwise. Another absolute winner is the mushroom chicken. This dish deserves special recognition because it exemplifies what Buffet House does so well. The chicken is tender, the mushrooms are flavorful, and the sauce is balanced without being heavy. It’s comforting, well-executed, and the kind of dish you keep going back for “just one more bite” until your plate mysteriously fills itself again. What really impressed me on this second visit, though, is that even the items that aren’t complete winners still taste good. That’s rare in buffet settings. Usually there are clear highs and obvious “skip this” options. Here, even the dishes that didn’t completely wow me still had solid seasoning and thoughtful flavor. Nothing tasted bland. Nothing felt like filler. That consistency across the buffet speaks volumes. The buffet layout is well-stocked, the food is kept fresh, and everything feels clean and well-maintained. Drinks are self-serve, and the staff does a great job keeping things running smoothly without being intrusive. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming—exactly what you want when you’re settling in for a serious buffet experience. Now let’s talk value, because this is where Buffet House really seals the deal. $25 including fountain drinks. In today’s world, that price point is almost unbelievable—especially for food that actually delivers on quality and flavor. You leave full, satisfied, and feeling like you got more than your money’s worth. Honestly, that combination makes this place the best in the west as far as I’m concerned. Buffet House in Chula Vista isn’t just “good for a buffet.” It’s just good food, period. If you’re in the San Diego area and you love Chinese food—or if you think buffets can’t be done right—this place will happily prove you wrong. I’ll absolutely be back, and I have a feeling this is going to become a regular stop for me.

It's our first time here. The staff so professional and friendly. Food is delicious. Hibachi is the best choice. It will get a long line. Please be patience. All the food are fresh and delicious. I am coming back here again.

My husband and I have been coming here for 2+ years. Their new location is even better looking than their last. Their food is amazing and delicious! I come here every time I’m craving sushi. Not the most in various selections but enough to satisfy your cravings. They have a variety of fruits, toppings and delicious desserts. Also, very great price and affordable. I always recommend this place to family and friends.

The food was great. The Buffet House is a family oriented restaurant. You can have a great meal and enjoy the family time at the table. The staff are always bustling to fill dishes and clear tables and floors.. Come on in and enjoy whatever the occasion may be or even if you just want to eat with that special someone. Make the Buffet House your start to a great meal and a great night..

The food here is outstanding, good quality, they also restock the sashimi set really fast too, the ice cream is delicious and the meat is juicy, 5 star quality will definitely make my Asian friend going back here again The toilet is clean too, full equipment but doesn't have a bidet Have a 2 hours limit and have to pay more if you want to eat more than 2 hours, but to be honest I already full the first 30 minutes A bonus thing is they have Arabica coffee, have to make it on your own but its full of sugar, Coffee mate and milk to make the coffee amazing, have green tea too

The mini croissants were very good. Sushi was good. Orange chicken was ehh, ok. The waiter was quick to come and clean any mess. Good over all everything

What a great buffet! The variety of foods and quality were excellent. The pork chops were perfect. And i loved both the broccoli and beef as well as the orange chicken couldn't be better. And that's just a few of the dozens of dishes to choose from. The staff was friendly and stayed on top of keeping the dishes cleared.

I was headed a bit further down the road because I had a mean Mongolian Beef jones, but my wallet trumped my gut and I stopped here instead. Man, I am STILL full. Fairly strong variety, even with sushi, and everything tasted good, fresh, and was hot (well, not the sushi, Dingleberry!). Went back for seconds, so I guess that says everything. Probably not a hot date vibe, but plenty good to pack your family in a car and let your Mom spend your money like she likes to.

“We had such a great time dining at this buffet! The food was delicious, fresh, and offered so many options — there was truly something for everyone. The staff were warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a place worth coming back to!”

I wish the lady cashier can be more friendly or at least smile. She seems cold in no greeting or welcoming. Food super delicious and a large variety of dishes.

For what it's worth, it's a great place to stuff you face. Good selection and food was at a decent temperature. It definitely does get crowded, but the staff works fast to clear off plates and clean tables. The nice thing is that your drink is included in the price. Don't forget to leave a tip for the hardworking people there.

This place is better than I expected. Reasonable price. Friendly cashier and good amount of food choices. If you’re looking for a buffet place that won’t hurt your pocket but will fill your stomach. I believe this is one of the place to consider. They also give 10% off for seniors over 65 y/o. Staffs tries to refill food and clean your table every now and then. It’s not the best buffet place but definitely decent , affordable and reasonable. Will definitely comeback.

Great Variety & Very Affordable – Just a few areas to improve! ​If you are looking for an affordable meal with plenty of options, Buffet House is a solid choice. Even on a weekday, the place was packed, which shows how popular it is! ​The Good: ​Hot Food Selection: There are so many warm options to choose from, and everything in this section felt fresh and tasty. ​Dessert: While the dessert bar is simple, they do have a soft-serve machine which is always a hit! ​Price: Very budget-friendly for the amount of food you get. ​Feedback for Management: ​Sushi & Sashimi Section: This area really needs some attention. The sashimi did not look fresh and was presented in a way that wasn't very appetizing. I’d love to see higher quality and better presentation here. ​Maintenance: Some of the plates, utensils, and cups are looking a bit worn out and could use an update. ​Crowds: It gets very busy, so be prepared for a crowd even on weekdays!

Other than the price I personally didn’t like the food. It was too oily and not as many choices as other all you can eat places. It was clean during our visit and the staff was trying to do their best to keep it clean. Being asked to pay upfront doesn’t give a good image of the customers or the Neighborhood. I don’t recommend.

Not bad. Decent. Average. Buffets are opened back up now and this one was worth visiting. We happened to be in the area and saw the open banner sign. Lunch is $15.25 adults and $1.25 11 and under. Dinner and weekends are $18.25 and $1.30 11 and under. Such a great deal! Beverages is also included. Everything is self serve. You pay, seat yourself, get your own utensils, napkins, and condiments. They have silverware and plastic utensils. I went for the plastic because some of the forks I picked up, had lip stick stains or food still. Salad bar, fruit, dessert, sushi rolls. The seafood was decent with steamed clams, blue crab, salmon, baked scallops, coconut shrimp, shrimp w veggies, salt and pepper shrimp. The chow mein was surprisingly good. Same with the egg drop soup. It wasn’t overly salty, it was actually almost bland but perfect for us folks who like to season it. Food was being replenished very often and hot. Please be very careful because the floors are wet and slippery. It’s a disaster and slippage about to happen if they don’t put out the anti-slip mats in the aisles.

Not a bad place for a buffet. We arrived on Friday around 1120am and it was decently busy already. There is a decent assortment of food to choose from but nothing stood out as being AMAZING, just decent. But that's what we were expecting. One of their soda stations wasn't working well. Two of the drinks were coming out all watery and needed to be changed. I did not happen during the hour and half we were there. The staff is quick to clean up plates from your table but no one will ask you how your food is or anything. Again, didn't expect that as it's a buffet. Overall, not awful. We might try it again.

This is a pretty typical Chinese buffet. They do have a vast selection but I actually came for the sushi and was expectedly disappointed. I would say it's grocery store-style sushi but all you can eat for 23 bucks.. The unagi is super thin sliced and almost flavorless. The shrimp tempura roll is mostly breading inside that is very rubbery. The other rolls are very average. The highlight of the sushi was the salmon sashimi. There is a spicy tuna sashimi that is really bad. I had some of the roast beef and the pork chop. No real complaints there. If you want a lot of cheap sushi and other cheap food, this is a choice. PS. There is a bottle of sriracha on the table which is not real sriracha. Close but some kind of knockoff.

needs improvement. way overpriced for the quality. good can LOOK visually okay. the sushi was better than most buffets. the orange chicken is actually really good! soda had no flavor. i loved the octopus/squid(?). would not go back unless i wasn't paying.

This place is okay; some of the food tasted like it had been sitting there for a while. My daughter and I both got a stomach ache the next morning and felt better after I got it out of my system. Also, the price is okay for an all-you-can-eat buffet, but I was a little upset when I was hit with a 15% tip fee! I asked the register guy why I was getting charged a tip fee, and he said it was because of the party size. I understand if they bring you the food, drinks, desserts, etc., but it's a buffet; you have to get up and get all of your food, drinks, and desserts. So why the tip fee? I probably won't go back, as it feels like a shake-down.

We visited Buffet House last night hoping for a decent meal but left utterly disgusted. The food was a culinary disaster – everything tasted like it had been sitting out for days, the pizza was rock-hard, and the sushi looked questionable at best, with some items tasting stale or overly salty.

Crowded. Food was super good but I am currently suffering from it in the bathroom. I heard a couple other people in the bathrooms having diarrhea also. They have a hibachi
