I can't say that every single dish is great but there's definitely enough to keep me as a regular customer. I enjoy the Mongolian bbq, the sushi and the coconut shrimp. Also the salmon, mussels, crab stuffed scallops are quite good as well as the hot and sour soup. If I still am hungry I'll have some unpeeled shrimp, oysters and crab Rangoon. They also had watermelon and corn on the cob but they took them away. I hope they bring them back. read more

My parents enjoy this place. They have a variety of yummy dishes. E have been here about 4 times already since this year.

Big space between tables. Perfect for big size people. Food is good , price is good, and they even have a guy cooking for you.

A good self of food. The seafood selection was a little disappointing but the food was good

ever since we tried the first time we have been back a lot. I love their hibachi grill!!! many choices of meat and the cook is perfect everytime. Their sushi station also has a lot of choices from sashimi to rolls! They also have a lot of seafood option with fresh oysters as well!!! must try!!!! read more

I heard about this place through tik tok and at first the quality was great. Now after about ten visits, the quality has gone down and the pizza has little cheese. read more

The ambiance was great, and the cleanliness was on point. Amiable staff. A few items lacked some flavor, but for the most part, the food was tasty and hot. $22 per person seems expensive, but it was a great deal for a buffet! We had a birthday girl with us. I don't know if they charged for the entire cake (we thought she was going to get a small slice), but it was good as well. read more

Super busy all the time with a huge selection of food. Place gets packed so you have to work around the clientele. The place is clean but feels old abd could use a refresh. Lots of parking and great staff read more

‼ I hate how the fish have barley any water and they're so many ! They even throw coins in there , apart from that the food was great but I felt bad for the fish hopefully they fix this ! read more

Love this place. Best Asian buffet in the IE. Good food at a great price. Especially their dinner. We eat so much crab . The decor is a bit p.f. chang's with the horses and terra Cotta warriors. It's cool that they plan Chinese music while you eat. Definitely coming back. read more

Empire Buffet - Menu 04.30.2023 - Buffets Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

I recommend this place for a quick fix of chinese food cravings. There are so many different varieties, and everything is pretty delicious. They have different rolls, sushi, and sashimi. They have hibachi and different kinds of seafood. Service is okay, I mean, it's self-serve, mostly so ots not much to write a about. The decor here is great. I had to take off a star because the bathroom situation is absolutely a nightmare. I suggest skipping the bathroom entirely unless in an emergency. It needs some upkeeping throughout the day. read more

I came here on a Tuesday and they had really good food not a lot of people so for me it's a plus they do have a lot of people on the weekends so I enjoy more going on the weekdays for sure read more

A new discovery by my daughter so off we went and tried the buffet! Such a nice place with a good variety of food that doesn't hurt your budget! They have crabs but not your usual Alaskan king crabs or snow crabs... food is pretty good and it's a huge place! Not bad if you wanna go on weekdays, they have enough seating for family and friends! Scallops and green beans are tasty. Mussels were pretty big if you like it that way. Pork bun is not bad! Sesame ball is quite rubbery. Otherwise, lots of variety, including Hibachi grill and a Sushi station. Just one piece of advise: maybe the staff not to sweep the floor by table when people are eating? Particles fly everywhere:) read more

i haven't been to a buffet in a very long time, way before covid but i came with my family and it was pretty packed we didn't have to wait that long though. it's big inside and luckily we were seated against a wall and not in between anybody. i was kinda nervous because buffets have a bad rep and this has a low rating and also thought they wouldn't have any options for me but i was pleased. they have many options, all asian foods. you can even make your own hibachi plate. my favorite was the sushi, the salmon and tuna roll were pretty good and fresh. servers always coming around and picking up plates so you always have a clean table. overall, an above par experience and wouldn't say no to going again :) read more

Empire Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

They are over priced and understaffed. No one was able to communicate in English, so please don't ask the staff any questions. Some of the food selections did have names on them, so it was impossible to identify what was being served. Not a good choice to take the family. read more

Food was awful!! For 25 dollars, they'll give you cold food that is suppose to be warm, and also the most stale food. It's not a good place and I had a bad experience. Just go across the street to the other buffet and spend your hard earn money better. read more

Came here for the first time this week. I have to say the food seems fresh at least around the time we were there. It was about 2pm on Thursday. They have ALOT of options. Sushi, normally asian buffet food, hibachi, desserts. The servers are fast to pick up your plates and do refills if needed. They have a cute koi pond when you come in. read more

Just moved from the Coachella valley area and have to say this is the worst buffet I have ever experienced in my life. I was left with a lingering aftertaste that made me sick to my stomach for over a day no matter how much I brushed/waterflossed/tonguescraped. You pay over 100$ for 4 people and the room smells horrible when you first walk in with the fish pond which sincerely needs to be cleaned. The bathrooms are disgusting. The servers try to grab your tip sheet before you even leave your table which caused me to literally put ours under a cup farthest from the server and I have been in the restaurant industry 10 years so that says a lot. First and last time coming here. read more

This place has a variety of really good food! I'm surprised how good the food is and now one of my favorite buffets. Service is always good here ,the restaurant is peaceful, and a lot of seating. I recommend this place! The food is really good!! read more

Gotta admit I definitely didn't expect much when we came here for the first time, but I was very pleasantly surprised. There were a lot of seafood options, including so many shrimp dishes, baked salmon, crawfish, some basic sushi rolls and nigiri, calamari, crab, octopus, and oysters. I've been here several times for lunch on Sundays and love piling my plate with the crawfish- so much flavor! It's such a great value, and the quality of the food is actually comparable to the seafood at some of the more expensive restaurants in LA. read more

Food - delicious Staff- attentive and helpful Was there for funeral reception. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of food selection. The restaurant is hidden at the bottom of the driveway - can be seen while on the freeway. I was confused when Yelp directions took me to a liquor store. Just drive around the plaza (going west) and you'll find it :) Plenty of parking and bring your appetite! read more

DISCLAIMER: Buffet is newly opened and does not have a liquor license - no alcohol. My family and I went for my grandfathers birthday and loved it! My grandparents love buffets and we are lucky there is this one in our relatively small town. It's decently priced (~$20/person) and they give senior citizen discounts! Place is very clean and brightly lit. It is a pleasant atmosphere to be in. It was a Tuesday night and wasn't too busy, so we were seated immediately. Staff was very nice and on top of taking our empty plates away. The best part of the buffet, in my opinion, is the hibachi section. You get to watch a chef cook your food live! You pick the veggies and meats you want on your dish beforehand. They also have sushi, cooked seafood, meats, fruits, and a salad section. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because my favorite part of buffets is usually the ice cream, and unfortunately, there was none here. read more

Have a mood for seafoods? Come to Empire Buffet. This is my second time here and the food is delicious every time. Crawfish are well seasoned together with green mussels, shrimps, and corns. This is my favorite dish today by the way. The second favorite dish is the seafood soup. It's spicy, but so delicious! You got to try it! There are many more foods, but I can't try them all. Maybe next time:)). Highly recommend this buffet! read more

Just a heads up. In the weekend it's dinner prices regardless of what time you dine. I was surprised when they gave me the bill for a party of two and it was $53.83. Wasn't expecting to spend that much. Besides that the service was very good. The food was hot and they were constantly bringing out fresh items. I enjoyed their sushi and sashimi bar. There were a lot of choices to choose from. Oysters, crab legs, soups, fruits, pizza, desserts, orange chicken and etc. The place seemed clean and was a good buffet. The place seems quite popular because it was busy. read more

Really delicious! Orange chicken is my favorite In week's day the prices is cheaper read more

Look - I'm all for a great buffet - but at Empire, there were just a lot of red flags. 1. Food. It was not good. Things were stale, over fried, and fishy. I think that should sum it all up for you. I don't know what I was expecting, but that's what we got. 2. Seating. Sit people correctly. Don't over seat on one table, because it makes people moving through virtually impossible. 3. Cleanliness. The food area was fine, but the restrooms - well, it looked like I was walking down the 10 FWY and there was graffiti on the walls, along with a busted toilet full of waste and TP. I wish it could've been better, because everything we come home from Palm Springs we see it. But it wasn't, unfortunately. Enter. At. Your. Own. Risk. read more

Had lunch with my friend..place was very clean and staff were very helpful..food was fantastic and plenty of variety..

Not good good but not bad bad for the price can't complain and many options to pick from

Pretty good food. Service was alright. I had 5 rounds of food and 3 refills of drink for $20 so not bad of a deal. read more

Great service! Were there for Father's Day , the line moved quick and the servers were super attentive. Good selection of food , to me the sushi is pretty good and was my favorite. They were even given out Father's Day gifts. I would totally come back! read more

Service was almost non existent, except the ladies picking up the plates. Apparently you only get 1 fork for your whole meal. Asked for a new one because they picked it up, the guy looked at me didn't say anything and walked away I waved him down and as he handed me a new fork he said "keep your fork, you only get one." So y'all expect me to use 1 fork for my seafood, hibachi & fruit/dessert? Food was awful. It was cold, flavorless & just disgusting. My spouse did like the steam fish & crab Rangoon though. You get what you pay for. Only reason I came here is because of the reviews and I seen it busy one time. The place was also huge and for the most part clean. But also it's stuffy and warm in there. Oh! Crab legs is additional charge on top of the AYCE buffet. They charge per lb read more

The food is great. Always fresh. The sushi bar had so much variety. Never a bad experience.

The food is pretty good! We went for lunch and it was a good selection. The restaurant looks clean and the staff here is nice.

Price was fair for the food that they offer. The hibachi food was pretty good and made fresh in front of you. Fried rice was good, loved the green beans. The crunch sushi roll was good, but none of us liked the tempura roll. Service was not too great. We had to ask for water refills over and over because the girls would walk past us and not acknowledge it, but they were on top of taking our empty plates which was great. Overall, it's not a place we'll be raving about, but we will definitely come if we're in the area and hungry for Asian food. Ambience was nice. We enjoyed the koi fish in front, place was clean and tidy. read more
