    Great buffet option -extremely clean and well run. The staff were good about removing any dirty dishes and silverware. All the food was fresh and pretty healthy. The rose water was also unique and refreshing. So much variety. The chicken soup was especially warming and savory. Highly recommend!

    As a buffet, I consider Dimassi's in Cerritos a game changer. This is a Mediterranean themed buffet that's only $22 before 4pm on Monday through Friday. For dinner on the weekdays it's only a few dollars more ($29). On weekends it's $33 all day. I mention the price because I consider it a no-brainer for a weekday lunch. I agree with the criticism that the protein options can be limited. You aren't going to be getting filet mignon kabobs for lunch. But their chicken options, their fried fish filet, and their gyro meat is not bad. If you are looking for the premium kabobs, there are many Mediterranean options in the area that you can get that. What makes this place truly worth it are their delicious salad options, their warm, house made pita bread, their abundant options of spreads (hummus, baba ghanoush, garlic sauce). The multiple options for mediterranean salads are really what I crave from here. For $22, if I can have a multi course meal featuring 4-5 types of refreshing salads, fish filet, warm pita with hummus, a gyro (assembled on your own with their ingredients), a soft drink, and baklava. Considering the fact that I spend $16 on a combo meal at Carl's Jr or a salad wrap at Sweetgreen, this is truly a no brainer. If you do come here for dinner ($29-33), know that you can special order their braised lamb shank. I like to eat this with the pita bread, some roasted veggies, and one of their delicious spreads, but you do what you like.

    I stopped by Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos for a brunch-style meal. For a buffet, the price didn't seem too expensive at first, but after eating, I didn't necessarily feel like it was an amazing value for what I had. To be fair, I went on a weekend, so I paid the highest price. I could see this place being a much better value during weekday lunch. The inside was very clean, which I appreciated. One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent. It felt like they had pretty much everything you would expect from an American-style Mediterranean/Middle Eastern buffet. Nothing really stood out as especially amazing, but there was a good variety, and most of the food gave me that "this is probably healthy" feeling. I'd consider coming back if I were with friends who really like Mediterranean food.

    This was our first time at DiMassi's. Our Bank Manager in Huntington Beach who is also a foodie recommended this back in August and we finally got to visit. This is Cafeteria style so upon entry find a table in either dining area and then head to the line grabbing a tray and making your way down the assorted goodies. Really good choice of Mediterranean cuisine with kabobs, four types of chicken including the delicious and off the bone DiMassi's special roast chicken; three different hummus options, pita bread being made fresh in front of you and baklava and two other desserts. The Tabouleh and salads were really good. Love that they had coffee and sodas included in the price. The lady at the front who was the greeter, Manager and cashier was tremendous as was the sweet lady inside picking up the stacks of dishes. This would have been a five star experience but for the fact that mass produced dishes here including the rice, the kabobs, the hummus, even the baklava tasted just standard and not stand out. The exceptional exceptions were the DiMassi's chicken and the Tabouleh. It was $23.50 for lunch which was not bad as drinks and dessert were included. Lots of parking in the front. I am definitely going to come back and try their dinner options and look forward to a five star extravaganza.

    Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99 is also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

    I have always wanted to try this place as soon as I heard about them opening up, but it was always packed! The room where the buffet was pretty warm compared to the side room where it was absolutely FREEZING. The inside and the buffet was also really clean, the white LEDs add such a modern look. The restrooms are GORGEOUS. There are so many options of fresh salads, meats, rice, hummus, you name it! I first loaded up a lot on the fresh salad and hummus options. My absolute FAVORITE was the roasted vegetables towards the end of the buffet line. I love to grab a little bit of everything on my plate as I am an absolute foodie and love to try new things. The lamb shank is a MUST. You get 1 included in your buffet, and have to pay an additional $14.99 if you would like another. So much meat on the bone and the meat was SO tender! The desserts had a minimal options, which most of them had a rose water/rose taste, which is not my personal preference as they are too strong in floral flavor for me. The fresh fruit was a nice option to end the night. Something I have NEVER heard of was you pay AFTER your meal! I will be coming back to enjoy more delicious Mediterranean food for dinner. Would highly recommend to anyone and in such a prime location inside the Cerritos Towne Centre.

    So many good options here and there's something for everyone! Whether its fall off the bone chicken, tender beef, fresh veggies, and a variety of sauces and dips to complement them! We came here right before the Saturday dinner rush around 5:30 PM and it was honestly the perfect timing! Everything was fully stocked and beautifully displayed, which made the whole buffet experience feel fresh and inviting. They had an impressive variety of hummus flavors, so creamy and well seasoned! The highlight for us were definitely the marinated chicken and beef kebabs. Both were so tender, juicy, and very flavorful! delicious with bold Mediterranean flavors. Everything tasted fresh and even though it was a buffet, there were so many healthy options that you don't feel guilty. The only downside for our personal taste was the dessert selection because many of them had a strong floral flavor that we weren't huge fans of. But overall, the savory spread and quality of the food made it a great experience and we would absolutely come back!

    Clean space with great options buffet style. Accommodated 30 people for a birthday party and reserve ahead and everyone pays separately. The pita bread is made fresh and a lot of options from chicken to salads to sauces and desserts and soda drinks and also coffee. Overall I would definitely come ago $30 dinner price

    My favorite kind of friend is the one who says, "Let's go to lunch." I got lucky when my favorite ex-boyfriend (who I'm happy to say is still one of my closest friends) invited me out today. He wanted something healthy, I wanted options--so we landed on Mediterranean Buffet in Cerritos. Perfect compromise.This place is so good. Everything tasted fresh, and there are so many choices--salads, dressings, hummus, chicken, lamb... all the Mediterranean staples you could want. And don't skip dessert. The rice pudding, that Malta omeal jello-style dessert, plus cakes and baklava... all delicious.My absolute favorite part though? The drinks. I love their rosewater--it's such a refreshing touch and something you don't find everywhere.It came out to about $48 for the two of us during their weekday lunch hours (12-3), which felt totally worth it. 5 stars. Fresh, flavorful, and perfect if you want a little bit of everything.

    Located in the Cerritos mall. Plenty of parking. I'm not a big fan of Buffett style all you can eat but this one is so tasty and the quality of food is excellent. You pay at front when you leave. Place is clean and modern looking.

    Okay so my best friends birthday and the first time I came here was with him and didn't really enjoy it ... Places are allowed to improve and peeps like myself are allowed to change our minds... About 3.5 years later I'm back to celebrate his birthday and much more enjoyable experience!!!! Friendly staff and food tasted better..... Things seemed a bit fresher and the restaurant seemed more organized than my first experience.... Falafel was good, arugula salad good, cauliflower was awesome, lentils and rice, etc...... Things weren't as salty as my first experience either... What I'm saying is now I'd come back again .....

    All-you-can-eat Mediterranean. This is my second time here, and I've been meaning to leave a review (with a video). It's a reasonably priced, healthier lunch option for individuals, couples, or groups. Great if you're trying to get more greens into your diet while still having plenty of choices for proteins and different carbs. The price includes beverages. I'm not a big soda fan, but they also offer regular and decaf coffee, plus tea. (If you're someone who lives or work around this area and often eat out, this is probably a great place to come at least once a week to load up on all the bright greens that are much needed.) Try the different hummus flavors -- I like the spicy hummus, or I'll mix it with the avocado spread. The staff is easygoing, the dining area stays clean, and there was ample parking during lunch both times I've visited. Men's restroom: overall it was decently clean, but the urinal stall was broken and still inoperable. Not ideal for any public restroom. I often mention in my restaurant reviews that bathrooms can reflect the kitchen and how detail-oriented management is. That said, everything else in the restroom looked well kept and maintained during both visits.

    Dessert station

    I'll be honest -- I wasn't expecting to be this impressed by a Mediterranean buffet, but this spot totally delivered. We came about 30 minutes before closing and everything was still fresh and well-stocked. The food was being replenished consistently, which I really appreciated (especially that close to closing time). The selection was solid -- from tender meats and grilled veggies to rice, stews, salads, and warm pita. The lamb was flavorful, the chicken was juicy, and the sides tasted fresh, not like they'd been sitting out all day. They also have fountain drinks and a nice dessert selection -- baklava, rice pudding, fresh fruit, and other sweet bites to round everything out. The owner at the front was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which set a great tone right away. Service is pretty minimal (it's buffet style), and no one was really coming around to bus tables -- but it was the end of the night, so that's understandable. The place itself is small, clean, and simple -- not fancy, but comfortable. Overall, a surprisingly good experience with fresh food and warm hospitality.

Four seasons is great when you want to each pay your own way, but want to hang out with friends. Very easy here as you usually pay first but you can ask to be seated together.

The food is good, hot and fresh depending on if you are at the buffet line at the right moment as they replenish the food items. The bbq grilled items like Korean short ribs, squid, chicken skewers and sardines are ones you have to time just right as they place it on to the hot plates from the grill because they get swooped up quickly. The teppan grill also just depends on how many are ahead of you. I'm not one to choose buffets as my go to, but if the whole gang is going, I don't want to miss out on the fellowship.

    TLDR: It's an overpriced buffet for $25 given the options. If they'd drop the price to..... $20,…read morebut more realistically $23, it MIGHT be worth it. I also feel that the place would be better if they included all the staple Filipino breakfast items (Pandesal, Corned beef, Filipino hotdog, bangus). The taste is arguably 4 stars, but the price point drops the overall feeling to 3-3.5 stars. Food Tocino - It's fine. It tasted kind of store bought, but I think it's good enough to get a few times. Longganisa - It's just.... bad. They were trying to go for the sweet style longganisa, but it missed the spot completely. Beef Tapa - Probably the best option from the viands made available. It's the right blend of saltiness and sourness. The beef also had a good texture. Garlic Rice - I'm glad they didn't mess up one of the cornerstones of Filipino breakfast. It could've been better, but the general quality of the food here was already low enough that it made this one of the better items. Pancit Guisado - Dry, filled with starch filled lobster balls, and could generally use some more stuff in it. I regret getting this and should've eaten more garlic rice Fried Shrimp - I'm glad it's easy to peel, but the shrimp itself is generally flavorless. Egg - I was scared that these mass produced eggs may not have had a runny yolk, but I'm glad to see enough liquid to praise it Tokwa't baboy - The bronze medalist of the meal. The fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pork belly is on the drier end, but it's small enough that it's not hard to eat. Nilaga - Good. Probably my favorite bite. It's seasoned well, the beef is soft, and there's a good amount of vegetables. Champorado - Decent. Shame that I didn't see the milk when I was getting it. Maybe they ran out, maybe they were refilling it as I was getting. Buko Pandan - Very good. Is it store bought? Maybe. It doesn't matter, still good. Service: You pay first before you're assigned a table. There are a lot of staff who are there to keep the tables clean and to mix the food every now and then to prevent the tray from drying out. Ambiance: Bright, spacious, and inviting. A very good place to have Sunday breakfast / brunch.

    It's been a min since I last visited. Came here with friends to introduce them to KBBQ and safe to…read moresay they all enjoyed their first KBBQ experience! Love the banchan buffet. All the meats were delicious and marinated well. Service was quick, efficient, and nice. The host was nice enough to hold the table for us. Everyone has to be present in order to be seated. They were poppin' during dinner time, so plan accordingly. They'll still have a time limit of 1.5 hours. Don't forget desserts at the end! They didn't have cones this time; only cups.

    We were around the area and I wanted to find a lunch AYCE bbq and found this!…read more It was actually a lot larger inside than we thought. We added my name and number of people on the touchpad and the wait was roughly 20 minutes. They texted me once our table was ready and we got a booth seating. The side dishes were all at the Buffet, super convenient since we can get what we want and as much as we want. They had so much options, not sure if they change the menu periodically but I love the fried tempura, radish slices, banchans, and japchae. We told the server we wanted. Regular menu at $24 and they handed us our QRCode. We ordered the meat on our phone so I got to order as much as I want without a time limit. I think the poor cheek was too thick, hard to cook and cut. Sirloin was ok, also hard to cut. Curry pork belly was new to us, it did burn the grill more than bulgogi. I think brisket, beef belly, and regular pork belly are still my go to. The drinks are not refillable, you can choose a can or their 32oz fountain drink. The servers are usually there for drinks, handing out meat, and if there are questions you have. But there's a %10 service charge added to every check and it is not gratuity! So make sure to tip on top of that total. Ice cream looked good but I didn't have any. What's worse is I didn't realize they had oranges and jello near the front! It was a big buffet so I didn't realize I missed a section.

    I've eaten here on two occasions: the day before I buried my mother and following a Knott's visit…read more Kind of interesting to come here amidst taking big swings at atypical days. Asia Buffet has fed me both times. It is largely a seafood/Chinese takeout buffet so I usually dine in such places to support my traveling companions in their seafood gorging campaigns. That's right. I'm the proud, carb-loading fifth wheel who complains about getting full after my third plate of food. But a combo at Panda can run you $15. So for $27, AB is a pretty reasonable upgrade of ultra indulgence. I fill up on the takeout, American comfort and salad/fruit stations. No complaints, just the usual fare - which was replaced pretty often. The teriyaki chicken was particularly hitting with the most recent trip, and so was the mushroom chicken. I know. Buffet-basic, but they slapped. The majority of customers are about their business when they come here. You get your table, you get your heaps of snow crab legs, clams or crawfish, and you get out. After two visits, after having embarked on a spectrum of life things, I've realized this is an effective site at which to stuff your face and eat your various feelings. So it will most definitely do.

    Cheap prices, but you get what you pay for. $24.99/person for dinner on a weekend. The food here…read morewas below average to mediocre. I lost my appetite quickly. The food didn't taste fresh and majority was cold. I disliked almost everything I ate. On top of their extensive selection, they have a wide selection of seafood: crab, shrimp, crawfish, snails, clams, sushi, and more. Dessert and ice cream is available. My group ate tons of crab, clams, and snails, which they said they enjoyed especially for the price. The sushi and sashimi were low quality and lack flavor, similar to grocery store sushi. The orange chicken was dry and broccoli beef was too chewy and tasted like rubber. On the bright side, I enjoyed the coffee ice cream which gave me a mini energy boost. Staff quickly refilled food so all options were available. Employees were helpful, providing us with a crab leg cracker when we asked. I did notice some plates were wet. This place offers quantity but not quality. Easy to find parking here. Plenty of seating available. No wait-short wait times.

    I just got back to my crew I left at the hotel to do work while I was gone for most of the day…read moredoing a quick trip to Bakersfield. I get back and they all wanna know where we're going for dinner! OK, all I had to eat today was an On N Out in Bakersfield, so I said I heard of this Chinese buffet called Flaming Seafood Buffet. Kinda a weird name if you think about it .... seafood on fire flaming. The place is in Norwalk, just off the 5. Take Rosecrans Ave west and turn right on Pioneer Blvd. It's on the left with plenty of parking. We go in and get seated just fine. Drinks orders taken and off we go to look at all the food. The inside is actually quite large compared to a lot of buffets. Lots of steam tables and the food looked fresh. There were all the usual suspects, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour deep fried meat nuggets, fried rice, egg rolls, ribs, whole prawns with the shell on and a few more authentic looking things I didn't know what they were. All my crew are experienced buffet eaters, so they just grab plates and start piling on the food. One guy even got a piece of pizza and so French fries along with fried chicken wings! I had the ribs which were very good. There was a selection of sushi rolls, but I passed on those. The service was very fast and efficient in the usual Asian kinda way. Price was around $25 per person, inc tax and some tip. I'd come back here again for sure.

    Avengers Assemble! I give it 2.75 stars, but wife gives it 2…read morestars. We went there on a weekend. The service was prompt and we were seated quickly with no issue and place were cleared on a regular basis. They were really fast and on it, kind of like Quicksilver zooming around the room. Almost all of the dishes, however, were either lukewarm or definitely not at a good temperature with we have seen other buffets keep them. It honestly felt like a Frost Giant from Asgard was hanging out near the food trays and cooling everything down. LOL. Where's the Human Torch when you need him?!?!? The food quality is very mediocre/meh/so so, so take your pick of platitudes.... There are definitely better Asian buffets in the local area. Well, I guess we are comparing it to more contemporary Asian buffets. If we did a Dr Strange and used the Time Stone to travel back to the early 2000s, this would get an extra star. But we are in 2026... We tried more than half of the dishes and sampled a little bit of almost everything, and nothing stuck out. It was a bit of a letdown,, basically like finding out the Infinity Stones are just desk paperweights at the TVA. The only two items that were good, were the seafood and tofu soup, which had white mushroom, which we have never seen put in a buffet. Kudos on that. The muscles were pretty good. They actually had some solid flavor and were mighty enough to lift Thor's hammer. Other than that, every single other dish fell short (shorter than the actual 5'3" Wolverine, not the comic inaccurate Hugh Jackman height portrayal). Most of it was too greasy, lukewarm in temperature/cold, over salted or not salted enough, but not really bounced. It definitely lacked that perfect balance Thanos is always obsessed with. 2.375 stars.
