China Buffet Torrance Reviews
Everything here is fresh and delicious – that’s the best way to sum up this lovely place. Soft background music, an incredible selection of dishes, and all of it unlimited: fish, beef, baked mussels, rolls, pastries, a fantastic egg soup, and so much more. Absolutely five stars, especially at just $20 for an all-you-can-eat experience.
Been going here for years, always good/even great buffet items. They give a Senior discount and as of today 1/27/2026, the price for all you can eat for a Senior was $17.06 including tax. The buffet contains a lot of different items including a salad and desert bar. There is also plenty of seafood items, a Sushi bar containing Rolls and other items. Today they offered BBQ Beef ribs and Pizza selections. They have an ice cream bar as well for cones and Sundaes. Their is something for everyone in your lunch or dinner party even if they don't like Chinese food. Very much recommend eating here. 💖 PS: Dinner prices start at 4pm and are a few dollars more BUT they add more selections for dinner and those selections are great too!
China Buffet delivers exactly what you hope for in a classic buffet experience. The variety is solid, with all the familiar favorites consistently well‑stocked so you never feel like you’re waiting for refills. The flavors hit that comforting, traditional buffet profile—reliable, satisfying, and great for groups with different tastes. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff keeping tables cleared and drinks refreshed without ever feeling intrusive. The dining area is clean, orderly, and well‑maintained, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a dependable buffet with good service, plenty of options, and a tidy dining environment, China Buffet is a strong choice.
It was a great experience. Of you have a bad experience here it's because you don't understand the concept of pay get your food sit down shut up and eat. Waiters will bring you drink upon request.
Flavorful food and friendly staff. Price very affordable. Many options available to choose from, including vegetarians. But there were a few food trays that sat empty for awhile before it was refilled. Restrooms were clean. Plenty of parking space.
Good value. Tasty, fresh. Prompt , welcoming service.
There is a good variety of food here including crabs and sashimi, sushi and ice-cream. Drinks are not included but they do serve tap water.
A Hidden Gem of Freshness and Value If you’re in the mood for a high-quality Chinese buffet that combines variety, freshness, and exceptional service, China Buffet in Torrance is a must-visit. This restaurant impresses from the moment you step in—not just for its sheer size but also for its immaculate cleanliness, an often-overlooked detail that sets the tone for a premium buffet experience. Ambiance & Service China Buffet is remarkably well-organized, spacious, and spotless, making it one of the cleanest buffet establishments you’ll find. The service is nothing short of excellent; from the moment you enter, the friendly and attentive staff—from the host to the cashier—ensure a smooth dining experience. You prepay for the buffet at the front before being seated, which streamlines the experience and allows you to enjoy your meal without interruptions. Food Quality & Selection The variety of food is impressive. Everything is fresh, from the crisp, vibrant vegetables to the beautifully presented sushi. Often, buffets can fall short when it comes to sushi, but here, each piece is fresh, well-prepared, and replenished regularly. The hot dishes maintain their integrity, never feeling like they’ve been sitting out for too long. The selection covers all the classics, from savory stir-fries to perfectly seasoned seafood, making it an excellent choice for any palate. Pricing & Value Perhaps one of the most remarkable aspects of China Buffet is its affordability. At just $18.99 per person, it offers incredible value considering the quality and variety of food provided. Soft drinks are an additional $2.35, and with tax, the total comes to a mere $23.37—a steal in an area where a simple sandwich can cost the same. Convenience & Parking Another great perk is the large and accessible parking area, which makes dining here stress-free. Additionally, their lunch service extends until 4:00 PM, giving guests more flexibility, especially for those who prefer to enjoy a late lunch at an unbeatable price. Final Verdict China Buffet in Torrance is a hidden gem that delivers on all fronts—cleanliness, freshness, service, variety, and value. With a well-maintained buffet, incredibly fresh ingredients, and a team dedicated to customer satisfaction, it offers a dining experience that far exceeds its modest price point. If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-quality buffet experience in the area, this is the place to go. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended!
This place is great, the food is fresh nothing is running out, the taste 😋. They have great service. I highly recommend this place.
My first here, and I like the white fish, and other choices as well, I plan to be back when I am in the area.
Great place to eat Chinese food with good taste . Recommend . Just expensive but okay . No a lot varieties .. decent varieties available
A friend invited us here and it was our first time, pay upfront and then dig in! Quite an assortment of food especially on seafood and they were pretty good. Unfortunately they don't have the premium items like king crab legs or lobster but the shrimps were definitely star here. We arrived at 12:30p and timing was just right before the lunch crowd, there were so many waiting outside to get in as they have limited seating inside. They also have limited servers so the drinks aren't getting filled as often and they don't give you attitude when you flag them down for it. I was so stuffed from just visiting the two middle section which consist of hot food. Didn't have anymore room for sushi or dessert unfortunately. Too bad the ice cream machine was broken
Variety of dishes. My husband really love it. The price is good with the quality we got. Definitely go back. You can do Togo here as well. Also, the price for kid is fairness. They price as the age.
Incredible deal for the price!! There is not a single thing about this buffet that I don't love! From a spectacular salad spread to Fresh Fish Galore! Chicken steak shrimp clams mussels! Plus plus plus!! A live Grill that will take any requests and freshly made Sushi. A great place to take your whole family I saw a lot of Happy kids! I especially like this shellfish options! They really go the extra mile here to have a huge variety. Options options options make up the best buffets and this one is that the top!!
We were there for a funeral reception. The buffet was well organized and was kept well stocked. Enjoyed the sushi and mussels!

Came here to celebrate the birthday of kuya Nap, the food is typically chinese food that you can find in every buffet.
It's pretty good for a Chinese buffet. All the typical dishes you'd expect: orange chicken, beef and broccoli, chow mein. Even sushi rolls for a little Japanese inspiration. Dinner prices are about $15 per person.
Food is really good but I suggest you get your servings from the pans just replaced to get the freshest since the one before could have been sitting for a minute. Underneath them is hot water to keep…

Great price for pretty good food. Place has been clean Everytime I've been there! Depending on the time you go it's not too busy too. Sometimes, with all buffets the food isn't that hot but it's ki…
The food temperature was hot. Deserts were very lacking. The (ice-cream) was a great disappointment. I couldn't eat it. If you don't mind those cons, then you might like this buffet.
There is a lot of variety and I would classify it as an "average" Chinese buffet. I felt like the staff were friendly and it was mostly clean, but it's definitely dated and could use a little maintenance. Some food items were pretty good (taro buns, eggrolls, bacon wrapped imitation crab bites, etc.), but most were just "okay". Price was reasonable at about $16/person. So although nothing really stands out, no major complaints either.
I anticipate to have a good lunch so I Yelped and found this place on my way home. The barbecue pork is way too sweet, the octopus is a bit too tough ( I guess because it sits in the warming plate) and everything else is ok! I'm not too impressed, will not comeback!☹️
Came here on a Sunday for lunch. I pass by PCH all the time but have never been here so decided to give it a try. The wait was OK, less than 30 mins. It was kinda packed, somewhat noisy, but nothin…

ambiance, we were the only black people there and all white people where just staring at us like we don't belong won't ever go back worst experience ever

I asked an employee if the cream cheese wontons had seafood or crab (food allergy reasons), was told NO. Then a few minutes later after already eating a few, was approached at my table by another employee who said the wontons did have seafood.
I understand that running a restaurant can be difficult, but I'll be very clear - other buffets exactly like this one manage to charge less for significantly better food. This spot is literally the worst buffet I've ever been to, plain and simple. The staff is nice, and that's the only positive thing I can really say. All the food lacked any flavor and I did my best to try a little bit of everything, not to mention all the food options were nearly empty and they weren't cooking anything the entire time I was there - and the few things they have that are almost worth eating will taste way better at any other similar restaurant. I don't know if they just had an off day or not, but if what I ate there is indicative of their food quality on the regular then you should absolutely avoid this place. My professional recommendation is to close this spot permanently so people can spend their money at restaurants that actually have food worth eating.
Not a good buffet at all. The food was burnt out overcooked. The ginger fish was cold like the heating wasn't on to keep the food warm. My kids got sick from the food which I notified the owner and manager several times and was never contacted back. For a 20 dollar buffet it should have really good options and be fresh and clean and that is not what my family and I saw.
No wonder they make you pay first. Epically disappointed. We came her before the pandic and the food was way better. Today, it just feels like they gave up. Bunch of trays empty, food all dried up and cold. They care more about you wearing gloves than providing quality food or at least a descent presentation of it. Sad. Way overpriced. Lost my appetite coming here.
