The dishes were constantly being replenished. Nice selection. Only complaint is the place is quite noisy because of high ceilings. Tables were immediately cleaned, ready for the next customers. We will return. read more

Captain Buffet - Nigiri and Sashimi 10/10 - Buffets Near Me - Sacramento, California

I came during lunch hours the ambiance was okay and the waiter was really friendly but the food was not okay. I started with a salad like always I found out it was only lettuce and ranch dressing no toppings or other dressings. Then moved on to the entrees and let me say after 3 plates of different entrees I didn't find anything that tasted good. The fish was fried okay but no seasoning, the hibachi chicken tastes old, the mussels was too tough and the fried rice had an off taste and it was hard. I did get a hibachi entree made in the back with shrimp and different veggies but it tastes really sweet and no seasoning once again. I won't be back. read more

My favorite was the snails and fried calamari. The snow crabs are alright and it's hidden in the back next to desserts. The dessert station is a bit messy. They need to refill the food better. Many entrees are near empty. I give 3 stars and probably won't be returning. I do like the self service drinks. read more

As usual I'm going to be completely honest this s*** is nasty The only service you see is people coming to pick up your plates aviance is nothing special. This restaurant is not going to last very long they need to hire people that can cook this is a hard NO!!!.. for me I give it 1/10 because the only thing taste good was the root beer soda. I do not know what's wrong with these people that's given this restaurant four stars something's wrong with their taste buds I'm a chef I know what good food should taste like. You put your heart in it. read more

I came here with a few friends and was pleasantly surprised. The buffet had a wide variety of options from sushi and dim sum to stir fried noodles and seafood. The hot dishes were refilled often and nothing sat out too long. The sushi was fresh enough for a buffet, and I liked that they had a few different rolls instead of the same ones on repeat. Overall this place is a solid choice if you're hungry and want good value for your money! read more

I came here tonight for dinner at 6pm for 7 people. Place wasn't packed at all. The food wasn't fresh and there wasn't much to choose from. Most of the food was bland, the sushi selection was warm I was afraid to eat it. The only good thing that was good was the fruits. Which to me is pretty sad, I paid 180 just to have good fruits. I will never come back to this place ever. What made it even worse was they allow people to come into the establishment dressed with minimal clothing. There was a lady that was wearing sports bra and her nipples popping Out. And there was another lady that Came in there with a skirt and her whole vagina was sticking out. Gross! They have a bunch of kids running the place seem like this place won't last long. read more

This place simply horrible, they'll leave old food on the trays literally until someone complains.

This place is not what it cracks out to be first and foremost I thought there was going to be a wide variety of different dishes like how they show on social media but I was super disappointed I paid $123 for 4 people mind you my son is 12 and I had to pay adult price for him because of his height the food was horrible blend no hot crab and when they did put out the cold crab it was pointless to get because the legs were tiny the selection of food was not it overall I was better off going to Number 1 buffet or the buffet off of Sunrise I really feel ripped off and misled what you see on instagram and Facebook is not what you get the only reason I gave this place 1 star is because you have to give a star to leave a review but if I had to pick a number out of 10 it would be 2 and that's only because customer service was okay read more

Lunch menu was good. Fried tentacles my favorite. Fried fish with sweet sauce were good too. Definitely recommend read more

I came with my family to try this new buffet and we all enjoy very much. The restaurant is clean and has a lot of space, not too crowded even during dinner time. Many different kinds of food -- seafood, noodles, BBQ, dim sum, and also dessert like cake and ice cream. The food taste fresh and good. They refilled the popular items quite often. Staff is polite and work hard. They clean the table quickly and always smile. I feel very comfortable eating here. For the price, it is very worth it. So many choices and everything looks clean and nice. I will definitely come again and also tell my friends to try. One of the better buffets in the area in my opinion. read more

I was really hoping this place would be good, but it's been an all around disappointment. The service staff is slow, and the place is very dirty. The food isn't refreshed regularly, and you can tell it's not fresh. When I was seated, I saw that someone spilled some food in the middle of the food area. I was there for 40 minutes, and no one cleaned it up. Later that night, I had the runs. The only place I ate that night was this buffet. For the price, I expected more. read more

We came here after seeing some reviews on TikTok where the food looked good. It was $92.10 for 3 people which seemed high for $26.99 a person. If any service fees or gratuities were charged it was not added to the breakdown of our receipt. The food itself was not good. Everything was cool, the crab legs were nasty, and the food itself lacked flavor. I am not a buffet person myself, but Golden Corral even is much better than this place. I was honestly shocked and disappointed after eating the food here. I gave 2 stars because they bussed our table, and I haven't gotten sick yet. read more

Came in today to try something new and see what this place was all about. Unfortunately, I left pretty disappointed. The place was almost empty -- there were more tables and chairs than food options. Even if there aren't many choices, the food should at least taste good. * Spare ribs tasted like plastic. * Snow crab was overcooked with barely any meat. * Imitation crab with cheese wasn't enjoyable. * Sushi had no flavor, and the salmon didn't taste fresh. * Deep-fried shrimp didn't taste like shrimp and had zero seasoning. * Calamari was overcooked and chewy like rubber. We paid $61 for two people, which is way too much, especially for the quality and the fact that the place felt like a ghost town. On top of that, staff took our plates while we were still eating -- they could've at least waited. Overall, this place really needs major improvement in food quality, variety, and atmosphere. read more

I came to Captain Buffet recently with a group of three people. At first, the experience seemed pretty good the place had a decent variety of food, and I tried the chow mein along with a few other items. The flavors were okay, although I did notice the food tasted a little on the salty side. Unfortunately, about three hours later, I ended up with horrible stomach pain and diarrhea that lasted into the next day. This wasn't just a one-off experience either. I actually know someone else who went here on a different occasion, and they told me they also didn't feel well afterward and had the same symptoms. It makes me wonder about the food preparation here whether it's the level of MSG, freshness of ingredients, or overall kitchen practices, something didn't sit right. I can't say for certain if it was food poisoning, but it was bad enough that I personally wouldn't risk eating here again. If you're considering trying this place, just be cautious. The buffet might look appealing, but based on my experience (and hearing about others'), it's not worth the possibility of getting sick. read more

Went to their soft opening on Aug 4 to try it out and I got to say that it's the worst experience ever. Food does not do no justice and for the price it's not worth it. Don't believe everything you see in social media. Nasty!!!! read more

Came here for dinner. 26 bucks not bad at all because they have crab meat and oysters... two plates and you already had your moneys worth.. sushi tasted pretty good... service was great, no complaints here! read more

Food is good if you hungry and ready to eat I recommend captain buffet, everything was good..

No star for this buffet my kids went hungry home I went to this buffet no food out at all the girl in the front really bad customer service

I gave you another chance because I felt that I should give you a nother chance. I just came from your restaurant I'm sorry the food is horrible coconut shrimp should not be as hard as a rock and on your sushi rolls you're taking the shrimp that we're going the rice and you're literally skinning the shrimp so there's hardly anything on the shrimp I will not go back I'm done thank you very much have a good day read more

Sushi was to die for,crab legs where amazing,and the service was great. I constantly saw staff restocking food and the people behind the grill do an amazing job. The interior is amazing with clean tables and nice music. read more

Not a bad buffet, but they need to work on the seasoning, presentation and table bussing. I visited day 1, so I'm trying to be understanding. The offerings are great, plenty of of selection. The flavors though, super lacking. Hit us with the good stuff! The noodles and fried rice had no flavor or punch. The sauteed mushrooms were just that. The biggest disappointment was the sushi. Just a bunch of maki rolls with different sauces drizzled on them. No intricate rolls as pictured in their promotions and pictures. I went back for dinner, on a weekend, hoping for better selections and presentation, but it was just as terrible, if not worse than before, somehow. The fact that they had to reduce their prices tells me that they came in overpriced for the quality offered and are trying to buy back customers. Just fix the food. Be like Hibachi Buffet, that should be the goal. read more

I went in there the other day. The food was so old. They look like they have been there for days. Nothing is freshly made. I think the food is left over from days old. I watched the guy fixing the warmer and it was above the food. Didn't cover the food. I don't know if anything fell off from the warmer. I don't know; not impressed with it at all. I was having high hope for this place, but walked out there with disappointment. read more

Decided to try this buffet out today given it's a pretty new business pretty close to where I live. It filled me up but it's pretty costly for the quality and variety of foods being offered. Definitely other buffets for probably cheaper that offer way more variety. A plus though is that this buffet is pretty convenient: you pay before you dine, and basically you come and eat as you please with drinks included. read more

Me my wife ans son walked in and the girl told us $95 dollars for 3 and we walked right back out! There wasn't a great selection of food and can you believe that they charge you according to height! Ridiculous! Went to Wienerschnitzel had some great chili cheese dogs and paid $30 for all 3 of us.unless the price goes down I will not be eating buffet any time soon. read more

Not sure if the food won't make you sick. I had eggs on my crab and not the good kind of eggs,

Amazing food they have so many great choices and the price is just right you get dinner drinks and dessert all for one price.

This place isn't good. I want everyone reading this to know that i genuinely love buffets. I went here for my birthday because the internet hyped it up. But please please don't waste your money. The food is no good. Everything was empty the entire time I was there. The crab legs are cold not steamed. As for the service beside the guy that seated us. No One actually did anything worth noting. I had to find someone to clear my table. I give this no stars if I could. Any buffet and I mean any buffet would be better. read more

We went for my bfs birthday with not high expectations, lol and we were right.... This was the worst buffet I've been too... the only thing edible was the hibachi and the crab legs were cold with no seasoning or butter.... This place was nasty honestly 0 stars read more

Captain Buffet is new. Has plenty of parking. Offers 10% Senior discount for 65 and over. Self serve fountain drinks are unlimited. Lots of table or booth choices depending on your party size. Modern decor and clean. Lots of staff available to take away your empty plates. As for the food....sushi selection is limited to rolls. Rice was hard, maybe due to sitting out too long. Hot entrees with decent selection were average at best. Hibachi grill was good but again with limited options. Dessert options were limited too. read more

I came in on the soft opening for the dinner special. The service was very quick, my table was getting cleaned throughout my stay, bathrooms were also very clean. I enjoyed the music and the nice set up. Most importantly food was amazing, everything was kept warm/hot. Drinks were also included in the price. I definitely will be coming back! read more

They don't have many options and their food is bland no flavor. My entire family's stomach was upset afterwards

Crappy and way over priced Yums in south sacramento much better and you had to wait for food to come Out and too loud and crowded and you can gear everyone's talking and last thing it was very disappointing read more

Any place can have a bad day, so I gave them another shot, this time during lunch. They provided a frequent visit card: a free lunch after five paid lunches. However, the food was just as poor quality as the first visit...over-cooked, dry, chewy, and/or hidden in cheap, goopy sauces, so even an offer of a "free" meal isn't enough to entice a return visit. read more

When we first walked in we were greeted and seated fast, the place is very nice plenty of parking spaces very clean dinning areas but here's the problem they got a problem with keeping their food warm and hot because everything is just cold and room temp the food is hella mid too some stuff are wayyy to salty compare to other places some stuff just lack flavor overall, only thing I like is those sushi. read more

Giving 3 stars a for effort. Food was cold. Nothing spectacular. Soup cold, broccoli beef cold, chicken cold, pizza cold, shrimp lukewarm, ribs lukewarm. Nothing was wow or amazing. Staff was decent and pleasant. read more

Lunch today was not crowded and for the price food was worth it. Good variety and most items tasted fine Staff was very good. I will be back again. read more
