    Fresh fruit bar
    Marie M.

    Hibachi Buffet has been newly upgraded with new and more modern looking buffet tables, serving sushi, a variety of soups, salad, fresh fruit, seafood, meat, and chicken dishes. There's also a hibachi grill where you choose raw ingredients for the cook to grill everything in real time. They have lychee, an expensive imported Asian fruit, and tropical papaya at the fresh fruit bar. Service was friendly. Tons of parking space. Clean, modern ambiance.

    All you can eat buffet?!?! I'm there! $25 per person, all you can eat. That's a sweet deal! The place wasn't that crowded either. Sure, there were people there, but ambiance was super busy. It was still enjoyable and you could walk around without being rushed to hurry up lol Value is there. Food is good. Price is cheap for all you can eat. Win win.

    My mom wanted to come and have LUNCH here. Looks like they got the entire restaurant REVAMPED or REMODELED! It's looking pretty nice and clean. I love the blue under lighting at the BUFFET STATION... MUSHROOM CAPS: 10/10 The have the BEST TASTING mushroom caps!! I what's have to go for round 2 or round 3. Bravo Chef!!! MAPO TOFU: 9/10 I love this dish!! However I feel like it can be more moist and possibly have more gravy... CLAM CHOWDER: 8/10 I like the creaminess of it but, it was just a tad bit SALTY. I would add less salt if possible. Not good for high blood pressure and elderly... SUSHI: 10/10 They actually make really good sushi here. It's all about the RICE! Nice and moist but, not too moist!!! I noticed they had some new items like more dim sum options, chicken teriyaki, spare ribs, etc. I actually really enjoyed the steamed fish with ginger. It's a great healthy options for people with high cholesterol. My mom really enjoyed her dishes too. She actually ate more than me!!! FRUITS: 10/10 Every single fruit was so nice and sweet!! Nothing was sour!! SERVICE: B- Good. She kept picking up our plates. Even when we were STILL EATING! She also brought the bill even while we were still eating... I'm not sure if she knows about GOOD CUSTOMER ETIQUETTE but, one should definitely ask before taking a plate and not bring the bill before customers are done eating!!! It's like rushing them so PLEASE ADVISE... Great job on the remodeling!! I still think this is one of the BEST buffets in the area!!! ROCK ON HIBACHI BUFFET!!!!!

    I just dont see how anyone can give this place anything low. Value wise, its awesome for ALL that you get. For me, its not just the choices you get but it also tastes pretty good. The buffet just got renovated and it looks pretty nice. They got rid of the spoons and forks at the end of the buffet line and its pretty organized. They have a soup station, a sweets section and a tiny sushi section. The mongolian station is also very decent. Beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. You have many options and the quality is above average. I read a review of people being sick but thats ludacris bc they make their food fresh daily. Have people seen where waste really goes?? They cant re-use the same food. This place is excellent even with the new ownership. The new ownership seems to really care about your experience and hopes that we all like the food. Today I really enjoyed my crab as it was not salty and the legs were meaty. The chicken wings are huge and tasty. The sesame balls are the best I've ever had. I travel to eat everywhere and for a Chinese buffet that isn't a buffet on the las vegas strip or something like cafe sierra in Los Angeles, this buffet is excellent. This place will always have my patronage.

    Holy cow: lots of options!

    My coworker wanted to come here because he thought it was like a Korean BBQ; it wasn't but damn it was incredible. There are seven rows of food options plus a sushi station and a Mongolian BBQ station. Everything was so good. The best thing was a dish, sorry I didn't get the name tag, but it was soft fish and very mild. I saw that they had salmon and other fish dishes but this dish was so good, it was the only thing I doubled up on. Place is super clean and the service is very good. I certainly hope to come back, although it is far from my house.

    Assorted Dumplings

    Took our friends from Hawaii and Colorado, enjoyed the food, good selection and tasted great. Friendly staff, good service, spacious, and you can have a separate room for parties. 5 adults and 3 kids for $135, you can't beat that!

    I came here with my parents before going to the casino nearby. They seat first and ask to be paid afterwards. They have a good variety of basic Chinese buffet food- the Mongolian grill is well-stocked. The have a sushi bar with slices of mackerel, salmon, and tuna alongside rolls. They have various soups such as fishball soup, clam chowder, hot and sour, egg drop, and miso soup. Fruit and salad section are a bit spare but they're cut fresh. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    Baked mussels
    Rose D.

    One of my favorite places! The mussels are always so fresh, clean, and delicious. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes my family feel welcome. We come here for every birthday celebration and always have a great experience. Highly recommend!

    It was our first time here when we were celebrating my brother's birthday. There were 5 of us and we were seated right away. It's an AYCE buffet, hence, Hibachi Buffet. The price is very reasonable! They had a very good selection of food.....Mongolian, Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, seafood, 5 different kinds of soups, etc. The food was delicious! Mon-Thurs lunch is $16.99 & dinner is $21.99. Fri-Sun is a fixed price of $25.99! Pretty good, right?! AND the service is outstanding! I highly recommend this place! Come try it for yourself! You won't regret it!

    TL;DR Great bang for the buck with crab legs and oysters included, but lacking of typical buffet options that may be offputting for some. Quality of food is on par with other buffets. The advantage here is that they have crab legs, oysters, and some other seafood you dont typically see at these buffets, especially for the price. The crowd is not as large as other places as well. Which is good for a quick in and out process. The only downside is the lack of options. There arent too many options, mainly pizza and fries for the kids, but it's nice to have a non-crowded buffet experience. P.S. crab legs go FAST, so get them ASAP

    Great food great service all around delicious. I had me sausage potatoes, onions, mushrooms, Texas toast it was all delicious. It's never a disappointment thank you managers and servers five stars all around. I will come again me and my wife.

    Desserts

    To start off, while the buffet looks really nice, the food wasn't that great. My family and I (4 of us) usually go to flaming buffet in Corona which is really good and we were expecting it to be similar to them and it wasn't even close. Next, where the dessert area meets the buffet, the floor is uneven, I tripped 3 times! Following, I reviewed this buffets reviews and photos before entering and was under the impression of a different price from the most recent images that were posted (within 3 months). Since it was our first time going we didn't know where the restroom was located so I had to ask (They sat us on the opposite side from the restroom). When I asked the lady behind the counter in the back corner she told me where it was and laughed at me for asking and proceeded to gossip with her colleague. The desserts were not appetizing (very dry and just don't taste good). Obviously, you can't go wrong with the ice cream, my kids always love them. Also, for the foods where you have to eat with your hands- they do not provide gloves (seafood). The food that we did enjoy were the baked mussels, salmon, sushi was decent, crawfish and my son enjoyed the pizza. The guy working was efficient at picking up the plates and refilling our water. The ambiance was off. We received lots of stares from the employees. The restaurant wasn't packed at all, the parking lot was pretty empty, so we should've taken it as a hint that the place wasn't good. Overall, we will not go again. For the experience, it wasn't worth the money I paid. My kids don't eat a lot and they charge a lot for kids. We went because we have heard from people that it was good and to try it. So we gave it a shot and we came out disappointed.

Because of this I've never been able to share the gloriousness that is a full seafood boil, especially a good one like Pier 88. The headless peel n' eat shrimp and crawfish, the true backbone of any decent boil, were plump and delicious. I felt kind of giddy every time I would finish one and saw how many were left. The lobster tail was a good change-of-pace and the king crab legs, admittedly not my favorite item, still managed to satisfy. I also like how they threw in so much potatoes and sausage into the mix. It was definitely super generous at what other places consider an afterthought. I thought the service was alright. They seemed to have forgotten one of my party's margaritas but that could have been more a slow bartender than an inept server. I also never got a prompt to refill my soda, which is a little more concerning. The ambiance was pretty good. There were plenty of tables and booths, and everything was spaced appropriately. You definitely don't feel like you're on top of the tables around you. They also had plenty of TV's as the World Cup was easy to watch along with. I could be happy here any time I get the craving for some shrimp and crawfish. And as long as the servers were more diligent about refills. One time I'll figure out how to get Miss Scotch herself to one of these things, dirty hands be damned. I'd say getting your hands in the muck and mire of delicious foods is half the fun. And with places like Pier 88 out there, you could be having a fun time and a full belly every day of the week.

Those are surprisingly good at Red Lobster. The clam chowder is pretty darn good too. Service was not too bad. Ambiance was warm inside the restaurant. It felt like they weren't running the air conditioning. My husband and I were sweating pretty bad. Not sure we would return just because of not feeling comfortable.

    I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE!…read more The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful. Overall, I can't believe that fish; I hope to try it again when I revisit the area.
