Verybgood food.

Nice place.

Love this place.

Please be grateful and humble when coming here

Good food nice staff 👍 👌 😋 used to go alone a lot during lunch hours. I was homeless, I moved downtown Long Beach got me apartment. I miss eating here a lot my car is acting out when I get my new car I'm going to drive there it's worth the drive

Like this buffet, to me is quiet, not too crowded, like the s lection of food, and price seems reasonable 👍👍👍

Very good and affordable

El lugar estuvo cerrado sin previo aviso, lo cual fue un inconveniente para mí. Sin embargo, entiendo que pueden haber razones legítimas para el cierre y aprecio que ahora esté abierto nuevamente. Es uno de mis lugares favoritos y estoy feliz de poder visitarlo de nuevo. Sugiero que en el futuro se informe a los clientes sobre cualquier cierre o reapertura para evitar confusiones.

Esta super buena la comida y la atención es excelente lo recomiendo al cien por ciento

Exelente servicio al cliente, la comida está súper fresca, y el precio ni se diga, 38 dls, por dos personas incluyendo bebidas, se los recomiendo, el personal muy amable, y muy servicial,

The food is very fresh and flavorful. This will be my new to go buffet. The salad bar all the veggies is very fresh.

Honestly, I would probably come back! The food was good. The sushi was better than the store bought one. And the Dessert was pretty nice! 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very good food kept on getting refilled nice and hot flavorful picked up used plates fast and great customer service will be back

Food is very good and just a great place to eat and has plenty of parking.

Good place to eat! My family really enjoys eating here on the weekends.

Been coming here for a long time. Very good food but the chow mein tasted a little sour last time i went.

Good quality food and service okay,

Food and therapy was great great attitude. I love this place.

I loved the foods and their prices

First of all customer service very friendly, food variety fresh and very delicious. I recomend this place. Thank you #1 Buffet!!

The food is very flavorful, there is a lot of variety, and the prices are reasonable.

I love this restaurant. It's my favorite Chinese Buffet. The staff is great, food is really good, everyone has a great attitude. Some customers snatch up piles of crab legs before anybody else can try them ... But that can't be helped. Dessert is good too. I wish they had those bananas in red sauce. But this place is great and very affordable. It's about $21 per adult. Great value for the price.

This photo describes me after eating here. Hit or miss , great for the price.

The Chowmein Was tasty. my kid loved the shrimp and more!

For all of you who are Chineese food lovers, this is your place!!! I have tried several buffet places, but this one is my favorite! Fair price for all you can eat! My favorite dishes are the Kung Pao shrimp, chicken skews, rice noodles, steamed rice, teriyaki chicken, chicken with mushroom, and more!! Oh, and they do have sushi, salad, and desert!

Great deal. Everything is amazingly delicious. The owner and his employees give great service. All you can eat for about $16.00 (lunch). Only about $16 for over $50.00 worth of food. A great place to eat !!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the food. It is a good place, but the key master game was impossible to win, and they keep money your and take it! Although the food is good and decent 👌. They have multiple dishes.

This is my family's favorite place to go eat, the price is amazing for the wonderful food and the people that come their are so nice my child has met friends coming there lol.

Good value. Prompt, friendly service. Tasty food.

Love the sea food best buffet ever definitely 💯 recommend

Good value. Prompt, friendly service. Tasty food.

Great buffet with variety of choices! Crab legs were plentiful. Will definitely be coming back!!

Good food, good service, good price, and plenty of parking. I love the fried rice, baked mussels, baked salmon, fried spicy shrimp, garlic shrimp, seafood soup, sliced peaches, and mandarin oranges.

My boyfriend and I come here often. It’s a great tried and true place in the neighborhood and we enjoy the soups and love the ice cream machine. ❤️

Always a satisfying lunch buffet. Used to go here a handful of times a year before I retired in 2016. Revisited in Oct, 2025 and they still provide a reasonable feast with the same favorite dishes. A plate of my favorites, then a plate of sushi, and then a couple more favorites before visiting their dessert counter. Same owner and cooks for 20 plus years. I was happy to revisit one of my past lunch spots. I’ll definitely visit again in the future. Thanks staff for keeping the food fresh, hot, and delicious.

nice

Really good

Environment dining area was clean and buffet was well replenished. Tables are a little outdated. If you are senior citizen you have to tell them at check out to get the discount. Bathrooms were not cleaned well.

Nhà hàng buffet ẩm thực Hoa. Món ăn phong phú, có món sườn que nướng, pizza. Ăn được chứ không ngon. Phục vụ nhanh. Khuôn viên rộng, sạch.

Muy rico todo, es mejor la hora de almuerzo

It is a restaurante that offers a good variety of food.

Food not so good....kind of cold and not much variety...service ok

Good value, good variety from sushi rolls to American to Chinese. Dessert too!

All right. Must been in between shifts. Some old stuff. And little slow to replace

The food is good but another day you felling bad.

Arrived at 11:20 am, 20 minutes after opening; some of the food items were not warm. I had 4 plates of food, cup of soup and 1 plate of watermelon/desert, the cost was $15.99. Had diet coke for $2.99 (all you can drink). I enjoyed the warm & hot food; not the cold food. Service was good, they picked up the dirty dishes and had my soda topped off. The atmosphere was basic, lots of table seating and booth seating. I recommend #1 Buffet if you want to eat a lot of good food.

Foods pretty decent. It’s not fancy restaurant level if you’re expecting that, but still good! Service was on point. Waiters cleared my table when I went to get more food. There’s plenty of seating so the waiters will seat you right away and you can start chowing down. Their weekday lunch special is definitely a good deal.

cute place but not as many options as other buffets. still had the essentials though. nice place to dine.

My son like 1 buffet，We went there for several times. the food taste good. just like asian food.

Un ambiente tranquilo y hospitalario

El lugar se ve un poco sucio, algo antigüo

It's not easy to spot from the street, but once you find it there is parking available most of the time. Upon entering the building, there's a rather unpleasant smell not unlike dishrags that have been left around for a while. The food is quite good, although the choice is rather limited for a buffet. I probably won't come here again, but the price is reasonable.

In this area the only such place, unfortunately. Therefore, due to the lack of competitors, the level of food and variety of dishes is very mediocre. If you do not have the opportunity to visit, for example, Paradise buffet, then it will do. And also more expensive, not very tasty and limited menu.

Likes it ..not that clean carpet..they are all like that. Other then that ok

We ate seafood for $20 which is a great deal. No one in my family got sick. The food we ate was good. With the exception of the plantain banana. All you can eat Fresh and cut fruit for under $20 is a deal.

I just expected a little bit more. There really wasn't much food variety, and as an avid buffet explorer, this one just didn't make the cut. While the food was hot and tasted alright, it was really the lack of variety that led me to 3 stars. I must say, the sushi is what keeps this review higher than it should be. It's okay in a pinch but not the ideal buffet to go to.

Even for $20 dinner on Friday night there was basically 0 sushi. The orange chicken, all the shrimp and cooked salmon etc were fresh. Ichiban buffet in gardena has a problem with the orange chicken quality, but overall i recommend ichiban over this place. they are very close to eachother to i recommend ichiban unless you want orange chicken in particular. They put rock hard avocado bits in the sushi. i didn't even bother to complain. disappointing but like i said the orange chicken was a big improvement over ichiban

Comida no me gustó , no había comida cuando fuimos tuve que pedir que cocinaran y no está rico perdimos nuestro dinero , los baños tapados y sucios no gracias !! No vuelvo a ir sorry por el mesero que se esforzó mucho el nos atendió bien y se disculpo

Not very friendly, and they change their prices from approx $15 to $22 for holidays. Their soft drinks are too much $$4. Not even fast-food charge that for soft drinks.

No thing is good about this place the food is 👎👎

Not worth the price. Maybe a good deal if it were closer to 15/person. - Lots of poor quality meats. Very rubbery steak and pork. - Not a ton of options to begin with. Though I did find a few items that were at least decent. - Service is okay. But drink refills will be slow. Especially during peak hours. - Lots of damage on the building and the bathrooms. - They have time limits and charges for wasted food. This wouldn't be an issue for me if the food quality were better. But it isn't. There are other buffet options on the same road that are better.

The food was mediocre, overly cooked and some where not fresh. Where able to tell the food has been setting to long. Service was okay could be better. Notuch verity of food. The taste and seasoning where okay. Wouldn't recommend and will not being going here again

There games took my money

This place need to be close down. the health department need be called out.

Food is definitely recycled from the day before or days before. Cold, kinda rotten and flavorless. They tried to overcharged me, I requested the receipt and noticed the overcharge. I wouldn't recommend, I don't know how this place is still open. 🤮

La comida no está caliente, hay moscas, no hay mucha variedad, las charolas de comida están casi vacias, lo único q estuvo un poco mejor fue el sushi, y tiene mal olor pienso q es la carpeta sucia, no lo recomiendo.

La comida no esta mal pero el servicio es pesimo los meseros dejan acumular los platos sucios en la mesa mientras ellos estan en sus celulares,la limpieza de los pisos es poca.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The front desk service was a complete disaster. The older lady working there was rude, unhelpful, and clearly had no interest in their job. They acted like it was an inconvenience to even acknowledge us. When we asked simple questions, they rolled their eyes and gave short, snappy answers. Not the kind of welcome you expect when you're about to pay for a meal. As if the horrible service wasn't bad enough, the food was just as disappointing. We paid for our meal but didn't like the ambiance, so we decided to pack our food to go. We were given to-go plates and started packing when a lady approached us, demanding that we pay for the to-go plates as if we had taken them from behind there front desk! They essentially wanted us to pay again. At this point, they were asking us to pay $46.50 for to-go plates that others had paid $17 for. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences l've ever had. Save your money and go somewhere--anywhere--else. #1 Buffet? More like the last place l'd ever go again.

It used to truly be the #1 buffet. I usually went in the morning. Food was always fresh and plentiful, now the food is old, cakes are dry, chicken dried out, and the selection is minimal. On top of that, takeout Is a 20$ flat fee. It used to be by the pound, so always around 15$ for a good amount of food. Very sad to see this. They should've stayed closed. Have to go to oc now for a decent chinese buffet. Shame

Everything is bad even roaches crawling on the wall so nasty.

A person sneezed on top of the food and no one did anything 👎 the soda tastes like tap water, Very expensive for the quality of the Food

I used to come all the time.I just walked in today and they hit me with $26 for 1 person I'll never come here again that food has never been top notch so to charge that much is crazy

I got food poisoning I won't go back

It was nasty don’t come here save your money.They over charge n I also Found bugs on the inside of the window, It looks like they don’t clean the windows at ALL. Once I saw that I lost my appetite n felt like throwing up. the food is soooo nasty, the people who said it was good prob a bot or fake THEY LIEEE ABOUT IT BEING GOOD

$52 and some change for 2 PEOPLE! if you go here make sure you're really going to eat A LOT, because my friend and i only had 2 plates each and only 1 drink each. seems WAY overpriced. not to mention they trick you by not telling you any of the prices when you first arrive, they just seat you. the food seems like the don't cook it fresh, maybe they just throw it in the microwave. they ask what drink you would like when you are seated, but there's no menu to know what drinks there are. their 1st 2 stalls in the restroom are RIDICULOUSLY small. you only get 1 set of utensils. their water is gross. and to top it off, i'm mostly sure that they don't actually care about the quality of anything in this building or the satisfaction of the customers, they're just cash hungry. i would NEVER come to this buffet again. and if you've never been here, i suggest you save time and MONEY, by not coming here.

I would gave them 4 stars but unfortunately, this place has food from damm i don't know how long its been sitting outside & re-cook for 2 days They had the audacity to charge us for dinner after complaining to them. they had crab legs that they were rotten inside, it has black spots & yellow from been defrosted from a long period of time. Its really disgusting we spit that out. The outcome was charging us and giving me a $5 dollar credit voucher for next time. Nah they need a visit from (FDA) & get inspected.

Never again. I don't know how this place is even open. The only thing I tried to enjoy was the salad bar and that had hair in it.

Terrible! Charged $30 for an 11 year old. No wonder they keep closing down like 4 times a year. I hope we get a better one soon! Been going here for 10 years and I miss the people who used to seat guests. The younger people charge whatever they want. Very sad-I’m not going back anymore.

For a Saturday, I was expecting fresh food but I was greatly disappointed as the food tasted very gamey and old. Definitely not worth it for my party of 6.

I went here with my boyfriend, the food was super greasy and tasted/felt old. i ended up getting food poisoning. there's so many flys around the place, not very well maintained. i have never gotten food poisoning till this day. probably one of my worst food experiences genuinely
