    I just got back to my crew I left at the hotel to do work while I was gone for most of the day doing 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.

    On a Sunday at 11am in early June, my family and I came here for lunch $25. There was a big party ahead of us. So we briefly waited and got a table. Inside look clean with tables on one side and food stations on other end, They serve crab legs, shrimps, fried rice, chicken wings, beef and broccoli. Sushi, fruit, galbi, Mongolian bar, ice cream cups, chicken wings, spare pork ribs, orange chicken, and roast duck in the buffet. Roast duck appeared when I got halfway full. Service was kinda slow on cleaning plates and water refills for first 20min during we were there. Nice staff only 1 server in my section hence she was busy with big tables. Disappointing: beef in the broccoli wasn't fully cooked and no flavor, no dim sum items-only seen buns, chicken wings wasn't crispy enough, no beef at Mongolian bar Good-orange chicken, rice, watermelon pieces, ice cream cups

    Eh. Came to this place because of a TikTok. Was expecting something super nice since the TikTok had seafood and duck. I guess that's only on the weekend because we went at 2pm on a Wednesday. The food was okay. You could tell it had been sitting there a while. There are lots of options. The place is pretty clean. It was like pulling teeth to get our water refilled. Probably won't be back, even for the duck.

    This buffet had a nice chandelier set-up with labeled areas of where to get certain foods, such as the sushi bar, the grill/bbq area, and the desserts. Service was prompt and able to seat our party quickly. Pretty fast at providing the drinks and clearing our dirty dishes from our table, as well. The food itself is like any other buffet with a standard lunch variety. I'm glad they had crabs and shrimps plus the Mongolian noodles, which is what I ended up liking the most. In the beginning, there was not as much sushi variety but more started to come after 30 minutes. The dim sum were also so cute-- loved the designs on them. Out of the 4 dim sums, I liked the green colored one the most with coconut shavings on the outside and a sago-like filling on the inside. For $17.99 lunch price, I can't complain much. If I were to come back, I might come back for weekend lunch to see if there's a different variety of foods offered.

    First of all it's $17 for entrance at the buffet at lunchtime, I knew the food was going to be questionable but I didn't mind it since I knew what I was getting myself into, my gf on the other hand hated it. Service was not great, unfriendly staff and I don't think they even spoke to me once after I was seated even after getting the check. The place is pretty big with many options which I liked, and they had a sushi station, the place is not the prettiest but I'm going to a cheap buffet I don't care about anything except stuffing my face.

    Flaming Buffet in Norwalk really is the MVP of all Flaming Buffets we've tried. Yes, it was packed (Saturday night in December chaos), and yes, we waited about 20 minutes, but honestly, worth it!!! The variety was impressive!!! Everything tasted fresh and hot, not sad and sitting there buffet vibes. The beef selection was stacked: beef back ribs, short ribs (at the grill), roast beef..... a carnivore's dream!!!! The short ribs were a bit chewy (could've used a little Asian pear or kiwi bromelain magic), but the chicken wings were an absolute smoke show!! Massive, crispy, and dangerous!!! Lots of seafood for the ocean lovers. Head's up: They automatically add 10% gratuity for parties of 8 or more!!! Our whole crew left happy...especially the sushi lovers and the grill station fans. Shoutout to my husband, who treated the cup ice cream station like a Pokémon collection and caught all six flavors!! Service was on point too: friendly attentive staff, nonstop plate clearing, drinks always topped off. Overall, this place is a ridiculous bang for your buck. Perfect for big groups, big appetites, and people who believe buffets should not mess around!!!

    January 2026 -I'm not sure I want to leave a review but this place is the bomb. It takes over an hour to drive to get to this amazing place and it's so worth it. Why ambivalent leave a review because this place may get too crowded in the future and we're not gonna wait another hour in line on top of hour plus commute. I'm not leaving pictures of the steamed Rock-crabs,. Crawfish or clams I had. You also won't see pictures of the fried calamari, Blue crab or Sole fish. I did not leave pictures on purpose Yes, it's crowded they placed our party of 20 packed in a table like a bunch of sardines but we didn't care cause the seafood was totally worth it. Service could be better but they are understaffed. But who cares as long as the food is awesome.

    I look for the mango jelly but don't see it at the dessert station. Sad. What's surprising is seeing soft shell crabs being served during a weekday lunch. I think there are 4 different varieties of hot wings here. More than at any other buffets I've been to. Sushi station actually looks really good but I have no space left in my tummy for more food. Service is friendly and quick.

    Wow! Another good buffet. The options were great for $22.99 per adult. All day weekend price!! Stone crabs only avail on weekends. Weekdays lunch price $16.99 only. They had the sushi bar, salad bar, dessert & fruits sections, dim sum section, teppanyaki, and the hot foods. They have seafoods like crawfish, shrimps, fish, clams, green mussels w/cheese, oysters, and crabs. The best seafoods were the stone crabs and the deep fried baby crabs. If you're lucky, there will be some good size stone claws. Very tasty. Missing hot butter tho. The only thing they need were the crab legs. It would be the best buffet in town lol I didn't try the sushi. It didnt look that fresh, imo. However, keep in mind that it's a buffet that cost only $22.99 dinner/weekend price. We went on a Sunday at around 515pm. It wasn't busy. Service was ok Drinks not included in price Senior discounts avail Will return

    This buffet is so delicious! Love the food selection and they even had cute rabbit buns! The staff were awesome and very attentive. Overall great vibes and great food!

    fruit and salad next to oysters

    not gonna lie, the food wasn't bad. it's the REGULAR food you'd usually find at any buffet, cooked correctly, how it should taste. for the price, it's decent. also there weren't a lot of good dessert options, if that's also what you look for. Though i did notice they go against safe food handling with certain items, since i work in the industry, I ALWAYS AVOID IT. also felt a little unwelcome there, staff came off a little rude. which ruined the mood because it was my birthday. we weren't greeted at the door, the woman just pointed with a straight face and walked to a table. thats okay because i considered maybe a language barrier, which i understand but i dont want to assume. other than that, its spacious. didn't really notice it being too dirty, other than the restroom.

    It was me and mom day. I try to take my mom to try new Chinese buffets. I found this place through Yelp. Before we entered the restaurant we encountered some racism. Some guy spewing racism and hate towards us because we are Asian. Who would have thought this would happen in Norwalk? Anyways, back to the review of this place. It's a decent place. Mom really enjoyed everything. The place was clean. Service was good. Food options were great, even for a week day. What I enjoyed: Fried flounder with white rice Salted duck egg bao Green beans Potatoes Soft shell crab with salt and pepper Sweet potato A green dim sum bao with coconut on the outside and some sort of cream on the inside Cream cheese wontons with sweet and sour sauce Mango jello Cherry jello Eggplant Pan fried octopus Shrimp

We LOVED every bite and find the preparation, rice to fish ratio well favored on the MEAT side... Back when this was Joe's Sushi, we did not frequent here and we live very close, but if you remember Joe's and felt like me, the used WAY too much rice in their sushi and rolls and wouldn't bring more out unless you are all the rice . It felt more like a scam, at Joe's.... NOW that it's UMI SUSHI It's Amazing! We've been back many times, brought other family and friends and everyone loved it. This restaurant is much better now and I can't wait to eat there again. Bonus: The Service is also Great!!!

    The sushi here is pretty good for your typical AYCE spot--definitely a step above regular buffet…read moresushi. The tuna and salmon were both tender, moist, and fresh-tasting with no fishy flavor. One thing I noticed is that a lot of the dishes lean a little spicy. Even the veggie udon had a really flavorful broth, but it definitely had a little kick to it. So if you like some heat, you'll probably enjoy a lot of the menu. They offer both a regular AYCE menu and a premium AYCE menu, so you have options depending on what you're looking for. Another big plus: on a super hot SoCal day, their A/C was working really well and kept the restaurant nice and cool. There were plenty of seats when we came in. Inside, they have some unique banner decorations and tree/flower-style designs that give the place a little more character. At the time we visited, there were two sushi chefs and one waiter working, and everything seemed to be running smoothly. Don't let the outside appearance discourage you. From the front, it honestly doesn't look like the kind of place you'd expect to find good sushi, but the food was much better than the exterior suggests. Parking is in the back and is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. Overall, a solid AYCE sushi option in Lakewood, especially if you want something better than basic buffet sushi without going full high-end.

I'm also glad, but maybe just a little sad, to see that the restaurant has become more popular. On some visits, there's now a short wait 1-2 parties, and sometimes, there is even 5 parties, which is great for them... but it probably means I'll have to start waiting longer in the future! The staff is still friendly and accommodating. Every now and then, there might be a small mix-up with an order, but they've always been quick to fix it, and it's never been a big issue. I usually visit either before 5 p.m. or after 8 p.m., so I can typically avoid the dinner rush and get seated without much of a wait. The sushi is still consistently fresh, and that's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Even during busier visits, the quality has stayed the same, and the food comes out at a good pace without feeling rushed or overwhelming the table all at once. Overall, it's great to see this place continuing to improve while maintaining the quality that made me a regular in the first place. I'll definitely keep coming back!

    First time trying this place cause we've sworn off Aiken. Kids absolutely loved it…read more They only have a premium option but it was $35 so not the priciest we've seen. Biggest con is that my 8 and 9 year old count as adults cause of their height. Otherwise, this place has an amazing array of sushi and other foods. Nigiri was a decent size. Not huge but at least not the thimble size pieces at some places. They have noodle and rice options and spam musubi which was the biggest deal for my kids. They have a list of premium items that you only get to order one per person. Although they weren't mind blowing, it was pretty good. Service was great. We regularly received water refills, plates cleaned up and our food came out pretty quickly. Interior was open but if you sit in the middle tables you're right next to the other table. They have a little partition but you can hear all of their conversation. I'm sure this place will become packed but when we went on a Friday evening, there was no wait so 10/10 for that.

Looking at reviews, I saw a photo of a jalapeño bomb but I didn't see it on the menu online , and the photo didn't have a description. I arrived in the drive thru ( YES THEY HAVE ONE!!! ) and asked if they had jalapeño bombs and they said yes! They call it jalapeño bom. I will say, even though THE jalopeno is larger, I've never had an order that only contained one jalapeño, split in half... these are my go to and they have a minimum of 4 halves, which is 2 jalapeños filled. This only has one jalapeño, split in half filled, for 6.99 which I feel is more on the steep side for just one. They have fusion tacos, which I decided to try because I love signature items. I chose the beef, and they have chicken also or you can do half and half. Cucumbers, onion, and cilantro, teriyaki sauce and hot sauce, 4 to an order for 12.99. They are definitely worth it. But they didn't have the sesame seed garnish topping like I saw on prior photos. The drinks aren't on the menu but you can ask what they have. Customer service was great and food was fresh. And the drive thru is my favorite.

I don't know what they put in their sauce, but I'm convinced it's addictive. Something about the sauce with the cheese just hits every single time. They also gave me a spicy teriyaki sauce on the side that really packs a punch. It's honestly spicier than I ever anticipated, but in a good way. I brought my boyfriend here for the first time and he got the beef teriyaki bowl, which he said was delicious. Our only complaint is the price. It's a little on the expensive side I feel the portion doesn't scream $15, it kind of screams $10. Still tasty though. I also got a Bom Bom ball to try and... well... it was so good that I ate it before my boyfriend even had a chance to try it. Oops. Maybe next time I'll just buy him his own Overall, still a spot I really enjoy and will definitely keep coming back to.
