    We rolled up to our team holiday party at Hibachi Grill Buffet, 18 deep, costing the boss $17/person for dinner, which immediately raised my foodie spidey senses...bc that is suspiciously cheap!!!The place was stuffy and empty... never a comforting sign, but the food aisles were clean and the entrees looked promising, so I went in hopeful and hungry. Reality check: the food was lukewarm at best and tasted like it had been waiting longer than we had. Quality hovered somewhere around "meh." The beef short ribs were tough enough to fight back, and the marinade was aggressively sweet... like dessert pretending to be dinner!!! The real MVP was the Mongolian grill since it was actually made fresh. Fruit, desserts, and ice cream were fine, doing their job without offending anyone. Credit where it's due: service was on point. Drinks stayed full, plates disappeared like magic.... great effort from the staff!!! But after the gift exchange, we were still hungry. So naturally, a few of us pulled a strategic escape and migrated over to Haven City to finish what the buffet couldn't. If you're on a super tight budget but want variety and your taste buds are feeling emotionally distant, this place will do the job. Just don't come expecting fireworks.... more like a polite shrug from your food.

    This is my second time here, and there were way too many flies. We told a staff member about it, and he just smiled and said they would do something; he made a show of shooing them away but then just carried on as if nothing had happened. That isn't hygienic--the flies were on several dishes, yet they didn't remove them or anything; they just left them right there for customers to eat anyway. The waitress had all the cleaning supplies and a bucket of water sitting on the tables where customers are supposed to eat--that's not hygienic either. She was just sitting there on her phone, but when it came time to pay and leave, we didn't want to tip because the service was terrible; however, she told us we had to. We gave her a tip just to avoid a scene, but the food was swarming with flies, the tables were cluttered with cleaning gear and dirty water, and the servers didn't pay any attention to us. This place should close down--truly terrible service!

    Came here on a Saturday morning before the lunch rush. I was pleasantly surprised on how clean the food aisles were, also considering it was early. There was a good variety of food choices between seafood, chicken and beef. I won't say everything was the best but pretty good based on buffet standards. The dessert choices were also decent. Overall, the cleanliness and service was good. I would totally recommend this place, especially if you are going during off peak times.

    Lunch buffet $14.99 and it ends at 3:30PM. Then they bring out dinner entrees like bbq Galbi ribs, crawfish, honey walnut shrimp, fried crab for dinner guests only. Still a lot of options for the lunch time service! Quality of food is okay, especially for the price They have a really nice ice cream selection though - vanilla, cookies and cream, chocolate, coffee, etc.

    Stopped by on Saturday, 11/29/25. $18.99 per person (weekend all day price). Price is still the same as last year and one of the affordable buffet places I have ever seen. Several seafood options still (crabs, sushi, shrimp, clams, etc). The green tea and coffee ice cream flavors are still here too! Located at the same plaza as Haven City Market.

    This place is a must go when you're in West Covina. Bang for your buck and can't go wrong with the price! Delicious food and its clean so give it a try when you're in the neighborhood.

    My dad wanted to try this place since the price was good, and I really wanted to enjoy it but there's some parts I'm okay and some I'm just not okay with. Table seating is fine, we almost go fast in the back but since my dad had a long day of walking we asked to sit in the middle which the server let us. The foods I tried and enjoyed: coconut shrimp, fried chicken wings, fried shrimp, teriyaki chicken, crab rangoon, spicy fish, hibachi grilled pork steak, and ice cream. The foods I tried and did not like: sushi (rice was too dry, I didn't get any raw fish since it didn't look fresh), bbq chicken (super salty), pizza (yeast flavor too strong), noodles (too oily), beef galbi (too chewy), egg custard (too dry), apple pie (too slimy inside), cake (too dry), and sweet and sour fish (wet and no taste). Overall for the price I think trying the food it was worth it. This is a standard cheap china buffet which I do enjoy a second time because then I'll be able to get what I know tastes good. Unfortunately, I knocked out an extra star because the bathroom situation was a bit rough. The doors to the gendered restrooms are kept wide open, the stalls are so close to the doors, one of the stalls door was hard to close without touching the toilet, and there's only two stalls out of three and they ran out of paper towels.

    I love Hibachi Grill buffet that offers many different kinds of delicious food, seafood, meat, vegestables, salad bar, sushi bar, cakes, icecream. The sign at the door shows a big A from the health department I just had a lovely lunch. This time I tried the wonderful grilled vegestables, shrimp, chicken & thin pork chop ( I like it thin) & I can see my food being grilled. I gave a tip of course as it was well cooked & delicious. I love their senior citizen price of $12.99 for lunch.

    Been here many times before, and haven't lately. Now I realized why... it's not the food, but the service. Especially the front counter lady. No matter you're an elderly or children, she would interrogate your @$$ like a missile base's gate keeper! "How old are you? Oh you're not qualified for a discount!" Jesus! It's only a couple of dollars difference! Food wise, didn't expect anything amazing, but the dishes were mostly cold! I mean, how tough is it to keep the hot water underneath the pans hot? Shrimps were tiny AF. Soups too salty and too thick in texture like glue. I wouldn't even dare to touch the cold dishes and let alone salad. Only got sodas refilled once since the waiters were too busy chit chatting. I still tipped fairly, but coming back, again? Highly doubtful.

    Date of visit: November 22, 2024 My fiancee's uncle's funeral reception was held at Hibachi Grill Buffet - located within a very busy shopping mall (we lucked out finding parking nearby after circling the parking lot a few times). While the restaurant itself was clean, and the service wasn't too bad - initially they had glasses full of drinks on one of the side tables, which the servers refilled... eventually - the food was just serviceable. I was looking for stuff that I normally don't get at Asian buffets, but it seems like the same selections of appetizers, sushi, mains, and the grill were available. (Except for shu mai - that was conspicuously absent.) Not just that, while I'd limited myself to the sushi, potstickers, edamame, and seafood mix, they all tasted a bit on the bland side. The only saving grace I could think of was the coffee ice cream on the dessert bar. Not that bad, but not that great, either... though at a regular price of $18 on weekends, Hibachi Grill Buffet is a bit of a steal.

A pretty spacious place with lots of parking. Lots of tables inside with a private room in the back that held about 8 tables or so. The food let's see, let's break it down: Sweet & sour fish - 8/10 nice flavor, wish the fish was a little crispier Shaken beef - 8/10 nice flavor, tender sautee string beans - 8/10 decent salt & pepper squid - 1/10 - no flavor, batter was a little weird crispy chow mein - 1/10 - no flavor honey walnut shrimp - 6/10 not bad but also i've had way better Overall, I think its a decent place for what it is & where it is. Obviously if you go into the San Gabriel area there are way better places. BUT for being in Covina & I think the pricing was decent, it was cool. Service was okay, men only staff apparently. They were attentive, pretty funny too

After we started to skim the menu, I noticed that most of the menu items did not have pricing information clearly displayed. Since we were a large party, we decided to order the dinner package. At least that had a pricing displayed. Once the food arrived, it was extremely bland. Not only that but this was the most I've paid for mid-tier Chinese food in a while. Since when did Chinese food get so pricey? Pan fried noodles were ok, walnut shrimp was good, pork chops were decent but everything else was mid! Oh and those sodas are about $7,xx bux each so stick to hot tea. Also, they wrote in a suggested tip amount and underlined 16% but probably charged the 18%. It's also calculated after tax. It's supposed to be calculated based on pre-tax. I didn't want to fuss over the bill while the server stood over me. This will probably be the last time I step foot in this place. Not worth the price point at all.

I was greeted warmly and I ordered two 3 item combos: Chow mien, orange chicken, mushroom chicken, and pork stew White rice, teriyaki chicken, chicken and potato stew, and salt and pepper chicken. My favorite was teriyaki chicken and salt and pepper chicken. Everything was good honestly, I didn't have anything bad to say other than the containers will leak through into the bag and you will get sauce on the napkins, utensils, and sauce packets. For the price, it was $30 plus drink and can definitely satiate 4-6 people. They have a tip jar and since I paid cash, I forgot to tip but will go back and make sure I tip! The server is really nice, we chatted a little and she is very sweet. Apparently my bf knows about the place and the owners years ago so next time I'll bring him to try it now!

[Parking]: The dumpling house shares the same plaza parking lot as Tokyo Central in West Covina and our party had no issue finding an available parking spot. [Atmosphere]: A fairly standard no-frills Chinese restaurant setup with indoor tables only and our party was able to grab a table immediately at 7:30 PM on Saturday. [Menu]: Customers use a Sharpie to circle and place orders on a laminated menu. Yelp's top highlighted items are Beef Noodle Soup, Juicy Pork Dumplings, and Shrimp and Pork Wontons. The menu highlights recommended dishes with a thumbs-up icon and those dishes include #6 Braised Beef Noodle Soup, #14 Shrimp & Chicken Dumplings, #20 Shrimp & Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce, #21 Juicy Pork Dumplings (aka XLB), and #27 Pan-Fried Pork Buns. *** #6 Braised Beef Noodle Soup (mild - $14.99): S-tier broth and noodles. The noodles had soft texture and the broth was clear & flavorful. Spicy level was also just right. In addition, the broth did not taste particularly oily. The meat was good, but I prefer the beef tendon from some other SGV (San Gabriel Valley) beef noodle soup spots. #14 Shrimp & Chicken Dumpling (10 pieces - $12.99): Excellent chewy dough and I actually liked these dumplings more than the XLBs. I am also a fan of the garlic & oyster dipping sauce. S-tier dumplings. #21 Juicy Pork Dumpling (aka XLB 8 pieces - $13.49): Interesting broth with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The dough was a bit thicker than I would have liked and the flavor was not as good as newer spots like Yum Long in Monterey Park, but still a solid A-tier dish. *** Overall a solid 4.5-star for the food (bonus points for the beef noodle soup and shrimp & chicken dumplings), bump up to 5-star for efficient service, easy parking, and no wait on weekends.
