Alright! This place is the best buffet for people staying on budget but still want to enjoy buffet scene. Quality of food is decent. Of course, its better than school cafeterias and some food trucks. Some lacks flavors. I would stay away sushi bar since there were limited options and the salmon sashimi looked fatty compared to where i used to go. Why complaint too much while you look for cheap deals? You already imagine how it would be. As long as they dont have any hygienic issue or low check points from stateboard, im good to go. Good deal hunters like me should take note then . read more

Great place to go eat! Prices are fairly cheap for the great food they have to offer. I go there very often and each time is just as great as the last. Highly recommend trying the place out its one of the best I've been to ! read more

First thing that comes to mind when I think of Komi is VALUE. You can't beat this price for what you get. My grandma really loves dinner here- snow crab, fried crab, sushi, sashimi, oysters, and an overall decent selection for $13 per person! Weekends can get busy if you go during dinner rush, but definitely still worth it. If you want snow crab legs (which I love), you may have to wait for it. They only bring out a handful at a time and people here tend to grab platefuls so that there's never any left for everyone else. read more

First time visiting this establishment. We got seated quickly. Service is quick and available when you wave to them. Spacious buffet room with lots of tables. Price is cheap (less than $15/person) plus they give senior discount for elderly customers. They have variety of food choices. Food tastes overall slightly below average. Most items are on the dried side. Fruits do not look very fresh and the pastries are dried too. They do have lots of ice cream choices. The line to get fresh grilled meat and noodle cook on the spot was horribly long. It takes forever to get your food cooked since they only have 1 person doing the cooking. Plenty of parking in this plaza. read more

I have friends live close to that restaurants. They said food is great and very inexpensive. Therefore, 5 of us went to eat there for dinner. There are lots of choices to choose from. And I end the meal with chocolate fountain. I dip the marshmallows into the chocolate. It has s crispy coating, very delicious. Definitely we be back next time. And the dinner is only $11.99. What a deal, thanks read more

Tried Komi Buffet on a whim last night, and I took a tour before I committed to eating there. Several items looked decent, so for $12.99 i decided to try it... what could go wrong? (nothing did) I liked the egg rolls, the baked mussels, the sushi rolls were just ok, the sashimi wasn't pretty, but it tasted fine. The fried crab legs were ok actually, but most of the meat was really dry inside.... I tried the broccoli beef (not bad). I would maybe give it a try on a Saturday afternoon, but overall good value, lots of selections, didn't try the Mongolian BBQ, may try that next time. Best part of all, I did not experience any digestive problems during the night or today (the next day). read more

I would classify myself as one of the un-pickiest eaters out there. The only things I don't enjoy eating are oysters/mussels/clams, but can eat them if they're prepared a certain way. I pretty much eat anything from cafeteria food to high end steak houses. So my wife and I received a grand opening flyer in our mail box last week. We decide to give this place a try since the price seemed right and the flyer was somewhat convincing. This restaurant is located what was once Hometown Buffet a long while back. We arrived around 5PM with my wife, parents, and sister. We were seated immediately and asked what drinks we wanted to order. We order our drinks and head over to fill our plates. This is where everything just goes downhill. I peruse the different dishes and it's pretty much a panda express, but shittier with some sushi options. I go back to my table to eat the food and it was just okay. I was hungry. When I'm hungry, even mediocre food is delicious to me. This was just okay. Everything was just greasy and slimy. The food just didn't taste that great. I didn't finish the plate. I go back for seconds and wanted to try the "teppanyaki" that they so advertised on the flyer. It was the most confusing thing there. It looks like mongolian bbq that you get at the mall. They have a sign that says to use the meats on a different plate. Huh? I just put them on top of the vegetables and noodles since they were all going to be cooked together anyway. So I stand there holding my plate and both the cooks behind the glass don't even acknowledge me. I try to get their attention to ask where I should bring the plate. They just ignore me. So I walk around to the other side still holding my plate and try to get his attention. Still get ignored. He starts plopping plates of cooked noodles onto the ledge that wraps around the counter. There are other people waiting and no one knew which plate was theirs. He then grabs my plate of uncooked vegetables and meat and throws it on the grill, but places the meat on another grill. SO I guess they don't cook the meat with the noodles. Really confusing. He then places the cooked noodles on a plate and again places it on the ledge. I'm like, "where's the meat?" He ignores me. Then after a bit he tells me to pick it up on the other side. So I walk over and the other guy just plops a plate of meat, which could have been meat for another customer. The process and the way that station runs is so disorganized, I would just avoid it entirely. So I bring back my plate of noodles and what appeared to be the meat I chose, and sit down to eat it. It was just gross. The meat tasted like it was aged beef under a fat man's ass. It just tasted like old meat. No bueno. The noodles and vegetables tasted okay, nothing to rave about. Now for the dessert. All the fruits they offered were canned fruit. The watermelon was warm and the pineapple was shriveled. The cookies were just laid out in the open in a basket and half of them were broken. This place is just sad. The service? The employees appear to be mute. They don't say a damn word when you ask them for anything or take your plates. And the drinks? My damn cup was pretty much empty, but not a single employee who walked by multiple times to take plates, took it upon their leisure to fill the cup or let someone else know that we needed refills. Also, they decided to bring the check even while my parents were still eating their food. WTF guys?!?! At least if your food stinks, have some good service. I can't see this place staying in business long until they literally fix every aspect of this restaurant. The only thing going for this place was the cheap price, and you get what you pay for rings true with this establishment. I wouldn't come here even if it was free, and wouldn't even let my dog eat this crap. read more

Worst staff attitude so far out of several Chinese buffets (3 different people). Dear Owner, please go visit Four Seasons and look closely at their staff and learn from them. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE, I REPEAT DO NOT EAT!!! I never write reviews on Yelp but I will write this review just to warn others. Before I come off as overly dramatic, let me explain why I gave this place a one star. So my mom got a flyer in the mail showing this place and we decided to give it a try (since it was both inexpensive and I was craving some good seafood). I was feeling spontaneous to try something new so the thought of checking for the reviews on Yelp didn't cross through my mind. Boy, do I regret that. -Ambience: the atmosphere was decent. It seemed pretty clean and spacious and there were a good amount of TVs mounted on the wall to keep customers entertained. We got sat at the booth closest to the restroom on the far left hand side of the buffet. -Seating: It was not busy at all so we immediately got seated. -Service: It was decent, but one thing I want to mention is the fact that the waiters were just standing around and talking to each other waiting for something to happen. I understand if there's no work to do, but is it necessary to have a hang out spot right next to our booth?? My mom and I were highly uncomfortable and annoyed about the fact that 5-6 servers just lounged around our table area chatting away while we were just trying to enjoy our meal! It was awkward for me since I was able to see them right from the corner of my eye just glancing at me time to time. It doesn't stop here though. This is the good chunk of the review you need to hear me out on. -The Food: There isn't a huge selection of food to eat from. I'm not a picky eater but I can say for myself that the food quality is below par and is borderline inedible! -Seafood: Walking over to the sushi/sashimi area, I'm greeted with not so good looking sushi. The fish on the sushi was dry from the long amount it was out sitting on the tray. The rice was dry as well. Not only that, but it took them forever to refill the sushi. Some trays had little to no pieces of sushi on it and it was disturbing, not knowing who knows how old it was. I walked back to the seafood area a few times and they still didn't refill the trays. The raw oysters were on a metal tray with no ice on it. It tasted old and foul I had to spit it out. The thing that got to me the most though was on a piece of raw salmon, there was something black in the meat. It looked revolting almost like black mold! I called a server over and asked them what this was. Two of the servers walked over and just mumbled and shrugged it off and walked away. They didn't even bother giving me an answer or taking the plate to address the chef. I was totally taken aback by this. Overall seafood was not fresh and did not taste good! -Other food options: They had other things such as fried foods (fried rice, lo mein, pizza, fries, cheese wontons, dumplings, etc.), a few selection of soups and steamed buns, other selections of cooked seafood, stir fried meats/vegetables, and teppanyaki (didn't bother trying this). This was also highly disappointing. Some of the trays had little to no food as they were inconsistent and slow with keeping their trays filled. You can tell some of the food items were left out far too long to the point they started having a crusty film forming at the top from how old it was under the heat lamp. The garlic bread they had was stale and the edges were hard. The pizza was horrifying. Not only did it look frozen, but the cheese on the pizza was translucent and crusty from how old it was sitting on the tray. Overall not fresh and not tasty! -Dessert: I didn't even bother looking at the fruit section. Some of the fruits looked very old, dry, and mushy. Tapioca pudding had a film forming at the top and on the sides. They had a chocolate fountain which was interesting, but I avoided that. I ended up getting some ice cream. I asked for pistachio but the lady didn't listen to what I said and just gave me some chocolate chip ice cream (which I didn't bother trying). I asked for another scoop of green tea ice cream which tasted fine. Another concern was that the lady who served us the ice cream also worked at the sushi station making the rolls. We had to call her over by ringing a bell to get her attention. She didn't bother washing her hands after handling the sushi rolls. Honestly at this point, I just wanted to leave! -Overall Experience: I was highly disappointed by the food quality more than anything else. Looking up the reviews on Yelp, I completely understand why this place has such a low rating. At best they only deserve 1-2 stars. As I walked out of the restaurant, I felt so guilty seeing people walk in because I wanted to warn them to leave now and not eat here. Please take heed of my warning and do not come here to eat! It may be inexpensive, but the food is not worth the price. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

I decided to try this place out with my family. Seating - They need to change their seating process. They give you a number, if you hear that you're supposed to get a number. They write down how many people in your party and then it takes FOREVER to find you a seat even though there are open tables. The young girl working was quick in the sense that she walked around the room trying to find a seat. Another worker who is in her 20s just looked lost. Why not have people pay before they go in and then seat themselves? It would cut down on the long wait time. Food - The food is what you get for the price. There's a good amount of Chinese fast food, I didn't try the grill and had the California rolls. There's a decent amount of variety, pretty salty because I ended up drinking tons of water after. I did like the ice cream, and they serve it for you so nasty dirty hands aren't in there. Service - I wish there was a water station so I could refill my own cup. It sometimes took a while. They did clean up the plates at our table, so that was good. Gross - When food would fall off of the trays I saw a worker pick it up and put it back in. That was disgusting to me. I know you don't want to be wasteful, but that's just dirty! Throw it away. One little piece of chicken is not going to cost you that much money. If you're going to eat there, pick from the bottom, because what's on top may have already dropped. Blah! read more

The bathrooms smell like shit. The food feels like its been out for days. The fish doesn't seem fresh. The service for things are rarely there. The only good things are probably the deserts which are actually pretty good read more

I'm adding a star to my review because Komi has shown improvement. The wait staff is more attentive and the many, many food choices are being refilled faster. I love the many choices: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Mongolian barbeque, Sushi, sashimi, soup, steamed buns, salads, desserts, including about 10 flavors of ice cream, fresh fruit and more. Crabs and oysters are served in the evening, but there are clams, crawdads, scallops, fish, steak, and more at lunch. The decor is beautiful, but you may find your party sharing a long table. It's busy at lunch, so try to wait until 2 to 3:30 and still get the great lunch prices and senior discount. read more

We came in for lunch with some visitors from Chicago and I was disappointed that some of the food looked like they have been recycled.

A great place to much out individually or with family. Love to come here every once in a while because the food be awesomely delicious. The grill option is probably the best part for me. read more

One of the better buffets I have been to in the surrounding area. Quality and choices to choose from is above the average especially for the price. read more

Exactly what I'd expect for the price. I went for Sunday dinner and it was $12.99 but I had a 15% off coupon. Don't expect top quality food. Some of the plates are dirty - definitely check and pick a clean one. Yes there's a lot to complain about but you get some decent food if you know what to get. Sushi- YASS: salmon nigiri and shrimp nigiri. PASS: tuna and yellowtail anything. Tough and tasted strange from being frozen. I GUESS: California roll, Philadelphia roll, and eel roll. Hot food- YASS: baked salmon, italian shrimp, sweet and sour fish, beef and broccoli, fried shrimp, salt and pepper shrimp, teriyaki chicken. PASS: coconut shrimp and squid. I GUESS: mushrooms, kalbi There is a station where you can get meat grilled for you but I can't say if it was good since I didn't get any. read more

Ate there last night and ended up with really bad food poisoning most likely from the crab legs and the water they were sitting in. I should have known better, but loving crab and not wanting to be wasteful I ate the tasteless legs. There was a huge selection of food and most of what I tried was pretty good so was really disappointed when I got so sick after. The price was good, huge selection, but unfriendly service, and worst of all was the food poisoning I am thinking was from the crab since I was only one who ate it and was sick after. read more

Grand opening in big 5/aji limon/pine hill buffet plaza! Dinner is only 15.99! Staff was very attentive and quick to take plates away, refill waters/napkins, and bring out the bill. I had a 15% off coupon on the table, they saw it at the beginning of the meal and took it without me saying a word. I like that! No awkward conversation when you ask for the bill : "can I have the bill and i haz coupon" even when it's laying face up on the table. Food quality: I would say it's a standard but bigger version of zen buffet where you have your sushi (their crunch roll was delicious), your Mongolian BBQ noodles (you can't choose your different type of sauces other than garlic and hot sauce, and the meat didn't look that fresh as it was defrosted) but it was still so tasty that my dad took most of the meat before I could get to it (that hooligan), your soups (miso, fish ball, etc), your buns/ rice wrap (their taro bun was extremely dry), your seafood (salt and pepper shrimp, crab, crab legs, oysters, clams, fried fish, sweet and sour fish, baked mussels, baked scallop) that doesn't taste very fresh but tasty nonetheless, your fried foods (chicken wings were bomb, pizza, fries, etc), a full fresh fruit selection (watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges) complete with chocolate fountain, and last but not least an ice cream section with at least 8 different flavors ranging from matcha to mango. The quality (not so great) and price point (cheap in buffet standards) definitely match, and if you are looking for an economical treat for the family, this could be it! Unfortunately for me, my throat started hurting immediately after the meal so I wouldn't come back but it was fun trying somewhere new! read more

I mean...You get what you pay for here. It's cheap, especially for seniors, so I can see why it's attractive. The food selection is what you expect out of a lot of Asian buffets - kbbq, Mongolian bbq, noodles, panda express type of stuff, dessert and of course the CRAB LEGS. Be prepared to claim your spot in line once they bring out the crab legs, because those will be gone in 2 seconds. I see a lot of reviews about bad service and waiters, but when we went, they were okay. Not sure if I'd drive out of my way to go here, but it was okay. read more

we been to this spot twice, they give discount to seniors, keep in mind Sundays , you will get charge dinner price, typical buffet, cant go wrong really, we enjoy this spot read more

Pros: -Has a grill area where the Mongolian BBQ station is, which lets you have grilled steak, grilled shrimp, and grilled squid. Something that you wont usually find in buffets like this. -Has a good selection for ice cream, not just 1-2 flavors. Coffee, Chocolate, Butter Pecan, Pistacio, Cookies and Cream, to name a few Cons: -Despite the many available tables my group was led by the server to be seated on a dirty table, told us to wait until another staff arrives to clean it. -Asked if i can change my drink from iced tea to pepsi for no charge siince their iced tea was not good and i was given an annoyed look by the server -Check was placed on our table real early as if they really wanted us to get out. Normally it happens when several people are on desserts but with this one we were still working on our mains. read more

Nasty nasty nasty nasty. I would have never ever eaten here. I only came bc my SO's family wanted to celebrate a birthday. I ate mostly the veggies and dessert, and out came a strand of red hair in my mouth from something I ate. I would stay away from the raw sushi and sashimi, especially at such a cheap buffet; don't want to risk getting food poisoning. The only good thing here is the ice cream. So many flavors. My faves are the green tea, coffee, and looooved the butter pecan flavor. That's all though. If I ever come back, I'd only eat the ice cream bc like $10 for all you can eat ice cream? Why not. Still wouldn't come here again though, just saying. read more

Went here with a very large group on Wednesday, December 12th. Had a reservation at 3pm and everybody arrived a few minutes early and we were not allowed to go in the reserved party room. Host made all of us wait outside and finally allowed to go in at exactly 3pm. That was not only ridiculous when we had a reserved party room and everything was already set up before. Then each one of us were pinned with stickers and did not explain what that was. When finally seated, it took awhile before a server came in to order our drinks. The buffet selection was ok and the food was mediocre at best. The meat was dry and the hibachi grill took almost forever to cook the meat. The servers were not very friendly and always had to ask for refills. I would not recommend this place. read more

The price is affordable, and the food tastes great. A nice place to have lunch with friends or families.

Food is not the best but it is alright.. there was a review I read that stated that there was yelling going on and that's true. Service is bad all the waitresses look like they hate there job and have a bad attitude..we came to taste the crab legs but when we got to the restaurant, the tray was empty.So we thought the tray would be full with some time and 45 min as I'm typing this its still empty. Food was hard to enjoy when the atmosphere of this place is garbage. read more

Komi Buffet - Stir fry noodles were served on a dirty plate that had juice from the raw beef that was placed on the exact plate - Buffets Near Me - Buena Park, California

We went as a group and had a meeting there. The manager is very rude as she just interrupted us and wanted us to leave because we have been there for over 2 hours already. There 's not a lot of diners at that time so we were surprised why she wanted us to leave. The regular customers are staying for longer hours and it was ok. Not coming back. Very very poor customer service. read more

The place inside is clean and wide, the food is ok like a Chinese food not a-lot of variety but is cheap for lunch compare to others. My favorite part is that they charge the age of the kids according what they eat for example my 5 year old payed $5.50 (5) years $6.5. (7) years $7.99. (9) years old $ 9.99 for kids regular price $ 13.99 for adults Only lunch time. They have ice cream but not cakes. read more

My wife and I seem to always gravitate to this establishment it appears this is our go-to spot when we want to become obese. I have been to a couple super buffets and in my opinion this place is by far the best. They have a good food selection. If you are a hardcore Seafood lover that plenty of that here for you. Again I am just a traditionalist I eat my chow mein beef and broccoli and the basics. But on the other side of the table my wife go to the next level with seafood that's all I'm going to say. We both enjoy this establishment cuz when we leave this place I'm two wheel dollies good was so full we can walk out of here. In closing I would recommend this super buffet restaurant again in my opinion it's got a wide variety of food and the food has taste and it's clean it's quality and those are the things I'm looking for in a restaurant. Sincerely Bassmaster.... read more

Seriously such a bad seafood buffet. While the prices are appealing for an AYCE establishment ($13.99 per person), you are better off searching for a different seafood buffet with fresher and more flavorful options than the bland and old food they offer here. The only part I enjoyed was the self-serve ice cream bar. Even the service was lacking--10/10 would NOT recommend. read more

Will not recommend for dining. Very bad dining experience.. The manager had no good manners and right conduct. Very arrogant. It's like you are dining in China and not in America. read more

Came to Komi Buffet last week and my whole family and I got food poising, we went to urgent care and they confirmed it was food poising. The staff is very rude, they don't even speak English, and they talk bad about you the whole time you are there, hubby and I used the google translate and it was capturing everything they were saying, and still have the nerve to demand a tip at the end of your meal. The only reason why they have a 2 star is because some of the food is ok not to bad, but almost killed us. read more

Our family just had the worst experience ever eating at this restaurant!!!!!! I would give it no stars if I could. While we were eating dinner, my 4 year old son spilled his water. A worker walked over and started glaring at us and asked, "What happened?" We apologized and said that my son spilled the water. My son proceeded to say sorry too. The man just walks away shaking his head. My husband and I look over in disbelief at each other. Then I see the guy worker about 30 feet away from me just giving me dirty looks. I tell my husband what he is doing and as soon as I tell him, I see the worker walk back over to us. He is visibly pissed and tells us to be careful and to watch our kids so that they don't spill!!! That's when all hell breaks loose! My husband and I are pissed off and tell him it's just WATER that he spilled and that he's a little kid and accidents happen. He then says, " Fuc@ you!" Are u kidding me?!?!?! The other workers here all need a training on customer service as well. No one comes and over and apologizes for his behavior. One lady worker had the audacity to walk over and say it's okay. I tell her it is NOT okay and that the customer service in this place is f'ing ridiculous. I tell her to call the manager and ask her what is the name of the worker that was yelling at us. No one tells us anything or even calls the manager or owner for us. After threatening to not pay for the food unless we talk to the manager, they FINALLY call the manager where we FINALLY get an apology . You have got to be kidding me!!!!! I can't believe this place. I specifically asked a waitress named Hong what the name of the male worker was because I was going to leave a review . She tells me she doesn't know his name!!!! She told me I had to ask the hostess for the name of the worker. Don't ever come to this place! Not only is the service shit, the food is disgusting and the sushi's color isn't even what it's supposed to be. read more

Can easily say poor service my mom and I came for lunch and my mom can't walk well and wanted to sit closer to the buffet. The waitress who sat us was very rude and had an attitude about where we wanted to sit. Now onto the food as typical of any Asian buffet the selection was decent had the macaroni salad not something I'd suggest it tasted very bland although the restaurant never fails on their sushi or anything baked or fried I preferably go for the sushi because it's my favorite thing. Tried their salad bar the cucumber tomato salad is good of course their sushi is very good overall it's hard to say whether it's good or bad. More like underwhelming food with a very less than stellar staff. read more

This place has been one of the family favorites for about 10 months now. All of the food is good, especially the mongolian section. However, the bathrooms need to be clean asap. My mom and sister went inside the bathroom to wash their hands before and after eating, and my mom saw a huge cockroach (I believe) by the toilet stalls. Good thing I didn't use the restroom after I eat. Overall, the food is really great and that there's a selection of food to have. I always do my DIY noodles with steak, broccoli, and beef, I'd come back here again soon. read more
