    Happy parents will always be a happy meal
    Betsy F.

    I took my parents here because they do usually enjoy the Asian buffets in North County. I saw that this was the sister buffet to Pan Asia Buffet in San Marcos, so we decided to come here! The ambiance inside is very modern, clean, and much more spacious. I think I actually liked this location better than the San Marcos one, which is strange because you wouldn't expect the interior to look the way it did from the outside. This buffet offers all assortments of food: the Mongolian grill, meats, seafood, Chinese food, American food, and the salad/fruits bar with the dessert bar. My parents seemed to enjoy the food, it's a pretty good price for a Sunday dinner with seafood. The sushi and fish were fresh, and the fried soft-shell crab was really yummy. Can't really complain as all Asian buffets have the same assortment of foods. I give it 4 stars for cleanliness, but the sushi bar was taking forever to get refilled again while we were waiting for certain fish to get. Service is good, they seem to grab empty plates pretty quickly. You have a self-serve for unlimited drinks and teas so you really don't have the need to get served much. We still tipped a bit for the bussers at least.

    Most of the staff are friendly. Food was great, good selection. Price on par with other establishments. Discounts for Seniors 10%. One minor problem, they dont like waste, so be sure to take only what you can eat. Decor is slightly bare and outdated. But overall a good experience.

    Everything was fresh and delicious.

    Soft drinks are included in the affordable price of this wonderful buffet. My favorite items were the baked crab and delicious long green beans. Will come to Escondido again just to eat here.

    I eat at Chinese buffets all over San Diego. This is by far the worst I have ever eaten in my life, anywhere. This is what happens when you have owners or managers that do not care! The food was so bad, I had to spit it some of it out. The Teriyaki chicken had little flavor 3/10. The orange chicken had little flavor 2/10, I had to spit it out. The Thai chicken was dry and had a weird aftertaste, 2/10. I had them cook some teriyaki chicken with sprouts, egg, mushrooms etc. on their grill and it was very watery 3/10 with little teriyaki taste. I even had the cook put extra teriyaki sauce on it. I think they're just trying to go super cheap on the ingredients. How do you make food with almost no flavor? The pizza was a 1/10, I don't think I would even consider it pizza. The fried rice was a 4/10. There was something black on my coconut macaroon, 2/10, you can see it in the picture. I did try two other coconut macaroons, 5/10. I had a small muffin and it was so weird tasting, I had to split it out, 1/10. I have never spit out a muffin in my life. The Garlic bread was a 5/10, possibly the best thing I have to eat there. The chicken wings were a 5/10. The cheesecake was a 1/10, I had to spit it out. They had pork chops, but they literally look like beef jerky, I didn't even try them. The salad bar looked okay, but I'm not a salad eater. The corn on the cob & pineapple was a 5/10. The white cake was a 6/10 and the dark cake a 4/10. When I walked in the place had a strong odor, like it had never been cleaned properly. The place wasn't noticeably dirty, but it was noticeably worn, like it had been here for 30 years and they had done little to no maintenance. They had the front door propped open and it was 80° and I was hot. Who likes to eat hot food when they're sweating? The server was fanning herself. Back by the grill, there's a really harsh odor, almost like a sewer odor. I used the bathroom and found it in disarray. No paper towels to wipe your hands on. By the pictures in the review, you can clearly see there is no maintenance or even caring going on here. I was here for an hour before she came and picked up my plates. You can see her sitting down watching videos on her phone. You have to get your own food, get your own silverware and get your own soft drinks & refills. After the first few bites, I contemplating asking for a refund, but I didn't want to argue with anyone. I thought "maybe I'll try some more items and there will be at least two or three items that taste good." I was wrong! I wasted $20 bucks! That's why I almost never try a new restaurant or buffet. Learn from my experience. It's really sad because I love Chinese buffets. There's one in National City, next to Peter Piper Pizza called "China Super Buffet" that is an 8/10.

    Sunday Buffet has sushi, egg rolls, lobster rolls, orange chicken, beef & broccoli, thick noodles, and baked oysters.

    This buffet experience cost $$ (the most on Sundays). The variety of foods was great. There was even pizza and fries for the picky child eater. The restaurant itself has soft wood tones. It would have been better if the dirty forks weren't in buckets right next to where customers can fill up their soda. There were two kind ladies going around each table picking up finished plates. Overall, I had a great time with my large party. Everyone could fill their plates how they like. Go for more when they like.

    Our family have been dining here for many years. The staff have become a second family to us. They are very welcoming and the food is always served fresh and very appetizing. The prices are very reasonable for a buffet style restaurant. It is self serve and includes beverage. We recently held a Celebration of Life for a loving member of our family. He dined there on a regular basis and his request was to have his Celebration of Life at Fasia Buffet. It was held in the restaurant's private banquet room which I believe has a capacity of 90' people. We were able to set up nice tables with memories of our passing family member. A nice feature was the large flatscreenTV which we were able to stream a video/slideshow of memories. I highly recommend this restaurant whether you are dining for lunch or dinner or a large private party in their banquet room.

    Nasty how does code allow employees to put their dirty drinks in the ice bin! Nasty! Call code enforcement

    I literally just walked out so happy I had to Yelp before the food coma hit! Window sign says it…read moreall: Fresh ground beef, fresh baked buns, fresh cut fries cooked in beef tallow, house made sauces, and no seed oils. If you're going to burger and fry it, this is the way! Price is a little up there, but your taste buds will understand why. The beef tallow fries were sooooo good. Crispy edges, fluffy center, ACTUAL potato. The garlic fries had bold fresh garlic and are cooked in avocado oil, but leaned a little soggy. Shockingly, I preferred the classic tallow fries. Husband and I split two doubles. The Garlic Mushroom Burger was juicy, savory, and loaded with mushrooms, pickles, American cheese, and garlic spread. The Flamin Smash had jalapeño, pickles, American cheese, and chipotle spread. Big flavor, gentle kick, & hella satisfying. Washed it all down with the Cucumber Lemonade that's sweetened with agave syrup. Not too sweet! I didn't catch the cashier's name, but he was super friendly and helpful. Cozy, clean spot with a patio on the side for extra seating. Service was crazy fast. This place is a bit far from me and I am already planning the drive back! That's how you know it smash-ed!

    my search for the best taco spot in sd is finally over. im a big tacos el g hater and tj tacos blew…read morethem out of the park. tacos el g used to be good, don't get me wrong. but the quality went down, salsa tastes like water, meat is tough, dry, and chewy, and expensive. tj tacos did everything right. tacos were huge and full of meat. 10/10 no notes. we ordered adobada, carne asada, lengua, tripas, and cabeza tacos. everything was insane. adobada was juicy, flavorful, and addicting. my brother looooved their carne asada and he's picky with his tacos too! the smokiness and char from the grill gave it the absolute best flavor. it was also super tender and juicy. my lengua and cabeza were just perfect. cabeza wasn't too fatty like some places. i enjoyed how carne asada was paired with a fresh flour tortilla while the others came with corn. they had the best tortillas! i'm just a girl who loves salsa and i need them spicy. that's where a lot of tacos spots here fall short. their salsas, especially verde, were spicy and soooo good. i was so impressed! lots of seating inside and outside. you order first and pay after. don't forget to ask for grilled onions, jalapeños, and extra salsa. can't wait to come back for drive thru!

    TJ Tacos was a disappointing experience. We ordered 12 tacos, and the total came out to almost $59,…read morewhich felt very expensive for what we received. The tacos had very little meat, and the portions were not satisfying. To make matters worse, our order only came with four hot sauces. When we politely asked for more hot sauce and extra napkins, the staff refused. We were also told that only one napkin was allowed per plate, which was surprising. Even other taco places, like Frida's, are much more accommodating. Overall, the food did not justify the price, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, this was an unpleasant visit, and I won't be returning. I'll definitely be taking my business somewhere else in the future.

    This is how you do it folks!…read more Been here three times and we've had different dishes every time and so far everything is delicious. Service is on point, like I said I've been here three times in probably 5 months and the crazy thing is on both return trips the guy recognized me like this is the epitome of mom & pop business right here. You feel seen and you realize the money your paying for your delicious food is going to real folks and not some corporate overlord nonsense. The vibe of the place is an industrial-esque sports bar the style that was super popular during the hipster face of restauranteering where everyone was going for the stripped down minimalist aesthetic but for this place it works. They have high seats, low seats and a couple TVs playing live sports with no real obstructions. We always come at off peak hours so I'm not sure how packed it would get but this seems like a good place to catch a PPV fight or something IF they don't pack everyone in like sardines. The food, jeez I should have probably made this the start of the review the food is decadent. EVERY dish we've tried has been packed with flavor, healthy portions, and fair prices. I recommend anything on the menu but if you want to get out of your comfort zone get the balkan fries, they're so good you won't regret it! This is the kind of place you want to see in business the people rock, the food is great, and you feel like part of the community patronizing here.
