Terrible terrible terrible. The worse thing about the restaurant is the service. The food and cleanliness were terrible too but the service was awful. The people who work there hate their jobs and hate people and it really shows. They yell at you, clear your plate before you are done and treat you like you are low class citizens. They do not deserve anyone's patronage. read more

There are mixed Yelp reviews about this restaurant. Since it was still highly recommended by a friend, we went to lunch here yesterday. Well, I enjoyed the buffet. For lunch @$16.99 is pretty reasonably. The cost is just like an order of a plate in a diner and you only get one kind of entree. As the saying goes "A picture is worth a thousand words" , so verbal descriptions of all the tasty dishes are not enough. Busboys are quick enough to clear the used plates out of our way so we can go for another round. Enjoy and Salivate on all the pictures I took of the buffet area. read more

One of the best buffets in the area, food is amazing love that they keep it fresh, service is also great, they keep the tables cleared constantly read more

Definitely hot inside but great food doing in order of having soup then a plate of fried food then chowmein/rice w/veggies & etc plate & last dessert read more

Surprisingly good for the price. Don't expect anything that will blow your mind away. This is greasy, American style Chinese food served buffet style. Good selection and mix of seafood, soup, and stir fry dishes. There is also fresh sushi which is pretty decent. Dessert and cold appetizers are lacking however read more

The food was bland and had NO flavor. The employees were rude, didn't check on us, and were rude at the register when I had to pay. To top it all off, there were bugs EVERYWHERE. Flies all over the food, and roaches on top of the ice cream case, which through the glass, looked like there was mold in there. It was an awful experience and kind of expensive, ended up paying $45 for me and my girlfriend. Please don't go here and go spend your money at a better buffet. read more

The food was digusting !!! Won't be coming back again ! Workers do not welcome you in . They give mean mugging faces instead

Buffets seem rare if not in Vegas. This place does satisfy your cravings for the day. I know it's full of MSG and whatnot but the place was somewhat dusty but the staff were cleaning well due to the time being close to closing time, we got there an hour before closing. Everyone was wearing masks and took cleaning as a concern. The food is okay, can be way better but yet again it does satisfy the craving for a Chinese buffet. A little oily but it's not that bad. Some items were a bit dry from sitting there. I usually go for three plates at a buffet and I went for two and a half which means that a buffet is passable in my eyes. Would I come back again, maybe if someone pays for me or as my last resort? For the price, the quality is not worth it much. I do have to say the service is very attentive and right on. My drink would be refilled before I could count with both my hands, making this review from a 2.5 to a 3. read more

typically i enjoy buffet. Great sushi place in concord but these guys at lone tree buffet will switch your drink with someone else's cup when they refill your drink. I mark my straw by tearing the end then turn it upside down in my glass. Well when they brought my refill I turn the straw over and it was not my straw. Sickening. I dont ever want to go back. If you enjoy using a strangers straw and cup enjoy Lone Tree Buffet read more

They charged us for dinner when we got there for lunch. Their reason is because we ate dinner food. Why put dinner food out during lunch? NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Food is good. Service is fast. Ordered for party and they remind you for pick up. People are helpful and they offer to bring it to your car.

DISGUSTING!!! Made a plate to go, came home and halfway through my food there was a FINGER NAIL in the fried rice. What is going on at this location? Needs to be checked out or shut down. read more

The only reason I'm giving this a 1 star is the service especially the hostess and the other woman who asked for drinks because of their bad attitudes and making mean mugging faces. I remember one time one of the guys greeted the people who are not Hispanic but when they saw me and husband they just ignore us and walk away Hmmmm makes me think that they are being rude and racist. Work on your damn attitudes you people are weird!! I hope I'm not the only one who has been through this experience. It's unprofessional and why work there then. read more

Food was good hot and tasty they have seafood entry and lots of choices great spot to try if u loved buffet plenty of parking nearby Also nice to know after every entree's they took your plates that big + for the price it's worth it read more

**UPDATED REVIEW POST COVID LOCKDOWN ** Please note that this review is based upon the quality and quantities of the food dishes offered post COVID lockdown. So, this was the first time post COVID lockdown that I've dined at this restaurant over 3 years ago. I came here soon after they opened (around 11:20). Because it's Sunday, the price was dinner price...$21.99 plus tax per adult. I don't know what the prices for children would be, sorry. Anyway, let's get down to the nitty gritty: PROS: -Clean dining room -More booths (compared to pre-COVID) -Good service -Food items/dishes that I tried that were tasty (to me): -Green Beans -Mayo Shrimp -Korean Short Ribs -Seaweed Salad -Beef Rib -Tapioca Pudding -Seafood on the Half Shell (I forgot the name of this item) CONS: -Food items/dishes that I tried that were m'eh (to me: **Looked good, but was VERY BLAND** -Clams with Black Bean Sauce -Steamed Whited Fish (a little over cooked too) -Sea Snails (I think that what they're called) -Scallop with Vermicelli -Sweet Rice with Chicken and Mushrooms -Stirred Fried Beef (it had jalapeño peppers too!) -General Tsao's Chicken **Foods with other issues (to me)** -House Special Duck: looked so dry that I didn't even give it a try. -Chinese Donuts: Part of it was rock hard (old or overcooked?) and not enough sugar. -Both types of buns (Chinese BBQ Pork Buns and Red Bean Paste Buns): I know they're probably bought frozen, but the "bun," had the texture of regular bread versus Chinese style buns. -Lo Mien: visually it didn't look good, but tasted okay. -Banana Pudding: Basically cut up bananas in the serving container with a super thin layer of pudding topped with crushed Nilla cookies... refer to the picture. Things they no longer have POST COVID Lockdown : -Teppan-Yaki area (choose your own ingredients for them to stir fry) -Noodle area: Choose your own noodle and ingredients to be stir fried together -Meat Craving Station (Dinner time/Sundays) I had other foods there that were neutral, so I have nothing to say about them. Would I go back some day? I would go back if I was craving non-specific Asian food because of the many choices. I wouldn't pay dinner prices because I don't think that the seafood that was offered was worth the $21.99 price tag. Quality still needs to outweigh quantity. read more

Lone Tree Buffet - Where's the pudding? There wasn't any pudding on which the bananas were sitting on... - Buffets Near Me - Brentwood, California

Beware of the charges. Me and my husband came here for lunch on a Saturday. Before we were seated, we clearly asked the lady behind the counter for the lunch price, and she said it is $16.99. When we got our bill, they charged us for one lunch and one dinner price ($21.99). We both came in at the same time- at 3:13pm for lunch and left at 3:50, yet they tried to charge us differently. So shady! Food- everything is just oil overload! I can't believe the amount of oil they use to cook their under seasoned, bland food. I couldn't stomach most of the food and had my husband finish it for me. We didn't try any of their desserts. Atmosphere- The place is very dirty. Greasy tables and seats, food scraps all over the floor, especially under the tables. Utensils have dried food stuck on them. Service- straight up rude. The lady that sat us didn't ask us what we wanted to drink. I had to waive her down middle of dinning to ask for water and she didn't even replied back with acknowledgement so we wondered if she even heard us. I later asked her for utensils and she rolled her eyes and pointed me to go get it myself. We will not be coming here again. There prices are unpredictable. Food is tasteless, service sucks and the place is disgustingly filthy! read more

Good food the ambiance is good aswell wide variety. All the food was clean and flavorful. I recommend this buffet to anyone who wants to eat at an all you can eat buffet. read more

So far everything has been good. They have a wide range of food and the longest that we have waited for a table is 10 minutes.

Waiters & Cashiers Are Crooks, I Should Have Looked At Past Reviews, Went To Have Lunch At This Place, Approximately 11:15a.m. Friday. Lunch Buffet Is $16.99 Got Bill, Paid It. Realized Later - I Got Charged For Dinner Price. So - Be Careful- But -Food Was Good. The Greedy Employees Ruined It. read more

Food preparation has been consistent and tasteful. Good value for the quality and price.

Rude customer service we asked them where the plates are and he responded in a very rude manner. Also asked another server where is the restroom and he just looked at me and walked away. read more

There's a lot of variety here, with both authentic and fast-food-style dishes-- from seafood (baked scallops, mussels, crab, crawfish) to all the Chinese chicken dishes you can think of (general tso's, salt and pepper chicken, honey chicken) to soups (wonton, sweet and sour) to dim sum (taro buns, bamboo-leaf-wrapped-sticky-rice)! Favorites - kalbi ribs, cheese-baked mussels, garlic string beans, calamari Not-as-great - the sushi (didn't look the freshest; I also wish they labeled what each contained, which they did for all their other dishes), dessert (mainly canned fruit and jello; didn't look the freshest either.. but the Vanilla ice cream cup was good!) The dining area is spacious and pretty clean, decently crowded on a Friday at 5pm but no wait for seating. Dinner was about $20 per person pre-tip. I would rate Lone Tree Buffet about 3.5-4 stars! A solid buffet for the variety but only a handful dishes I felt comfortable eating (overall a little too oily for my personal preference) read more

My aunt bought takeout from this place and ordered the soup, orange chicken, various fried things (shrimp, veggies, squid) and noodles. The orange chicken was saucy and sweet. Noodles were soft, maybe too soft (overcooked). The fried or tempura style foods were crispy. The shrimp was the best of the bunch. This is an OK place to go if you're in a pinch but not the best. read more

I have not realized that I have not reviewed the Lone Tree Buffet since I have always thought of Dragon Buffet. Alas, Lone Tree Buffet is good and better than Dragon Buffet, yup I just said it. Dragon Buffet closed because of the employee's appalling work conditions. Although Dragon Buffet's quality slightly reduced, I was skeptical about the new owners of Lone Tree Buffet. Will they serve an equally good food? Maybe worse? Both assumptions are incorrect, at the Lone Tree Buffett's food is better than Dragon's in about every way. Every time my wife's work start a potluck, Lone Tree Buffet is always in contention as part of their food sharing ritual. Lone Tree Buffet already has some standouts: -Large Grille Prawns -Honey Chicken -Cubed (spicy) Beef, yum -Slightly above average Sushi Lone Tree remodeled and freshen up the interior, and the cahier, the young girl in middle(ish) school, is very friendly and courteous. Overall I am happy that Lone Tree Buffet has taken the reins on this spot; they have increased the quality of food. read more

Food wasn't that good Service was good though Not very flavorful, fish was dry, sushi sucked wish was more options.wont go back read more

My husband and I really like the food in Lonetree. Just a heads up for today, being Valentine's day, they charge $28.99 the whole day. I guess we should take note that every holiday or special occasion the rate is also special. We just decided to come back another day lol read more

The experiences based on once a month dinners in 2023. 1). Price: very reasonable in the East Bay for all you can eat. 2). Food is a hit and miss depending on day of the week and whether it is lunch or dinner. 3). Ambiance: loud and crowded on weekend. 4). Services: courteous and fast. 5). Restroom: need to be checked and cleaned more often during weekend. 6). Will probably dine in during weekday going forward. read more

I went to have lunch alone, as it had been a while. I've been putting others first, so I made a last-minute decision. Everything was good except the honey hot wings, which were undercooked. I had another serving, and one was raw inside. I showed the staff, who was supposed to tell the manager, but he just threw it away. I took a picture of the bitten area but not the whole wing. The manager only apologized. read more

Went here for my birthday with my parents for lunch on a weekday. The place was huge, good for large parties. It was clean and the food area looked good too. I saw the post on the restroom being not clean enough but I didn't use it so I couldn't tell you how it was. I have to say, for a buffet, they had some really good choices and during lunch I might add. I am not usually impressed by the flavors or choices of "buffets" that are not in Vegas, but this one was quite decent. It is hard to tell you what I had, but I will just say that everything that I tried was good. They had choices of Japanese, Chinese, and American. Their fruit and salad bar was really good with the fruits being really sweet. This is also the first time I have been to a buffet where the ice cream is not in the form of soft serve. There is actually a freezer like when you go to an Ice cream shop where you can get your own choice of flavors. It is really cool actually. Overall, I would go back and bring my family especially since the prices are very reasonable. I suggest if you like to eat and are looking for a good place in Brentwood to try it out. read more

Terrible service shitty good, go to LA COSTA in Oakley better food and cheaper prices

Took my mother here for lunch. She's been asking about a buffet for awhile. So like many Asian buffets they do have a variety of food. I think six different stations. Sushi station two stars. The sashimi was fishy salty mackerel and tilapia and a few different basic rolls. Their fried food station was 2.5 stars, sweet and sour chicken was bland., other fried items were overcooked. The highlight was the Chinese station. Good assortment and flavorful.. for the lunch price of $16.99 it wasn't a bad choice but probably won't be back. read more

Very busy place. It was too hot in there. It was a 30 minute wait. Food was average for the price.

Whenever I'm having Chinese food withdrawals, this is my go to spot. So many great food choices.

Come early when it just opened. The food was still organized and fresh. Only come when they open for lunch never come in the evening for dinner. It would be different. read more

I went here with a friend. They did have many choices to choose from, but didn't look that appetizing. I did have the white rice, steamed white fish, salmon, chicken & mushroom & zuccini (which was spicy), (didn't like), garlic bread. The food was very bland. No flavor whatsoever. That day I got sick. I will NEVER NEVEVER NEVER eat here again. It was NOT worth it!! I would give 0 zero stars if I was able to. read more

I was a bit hesitant to try because of the reviews on here but seen most were from 2 years ago. I went in and to my surprise the service was awesome and the food was delicious! Tons of fresh fruit (which my kids really enjoyed) and everyone was so kind! I loved the rice & sour chicken!! And they had duck sauce iykyk. lol all in all, will be coming back! read more

The food was good but it's lacking in ambiance. My husband use to look forward to their Mongolian station. Unfortunately, they've never brought it back. The service was ok, but it's quite unusual to have to retrieve your own silverware in a sit down restaurant, even a buffet. This doesn't leave an impression of sterile utensils. It's sits in a mass tray that you take from. Everyone's hands touches them. The ladies in the front desk need to smile and greet. After all, they are suppose to be the hostess and when taking customers to be seated, don't treat it as a chore. Give customers a great experience to come back and to choose and support your business. read more

How I love this place. Good food for the price. The place can be packed and I do not have any doubt because their food is good. read more

Lone Tree Buffet - Shrimp, crab and clams.. - Buffets Near Me - Brentwood, California

The food were cold and didn't taste good. So disappointed on the sushi bar. Will not go back.

Overall there's a lot of value at this place. You can't find a place that beats the price here with the quality of food and service they provide you. The owners and waiters were nice and attentive. Food was coming out pretty consistently. Some food were unexpectedly salty but no big deal. The steam counters were able to keep food pretty hot which was impressive and added some points. Food selection wasn't the best but again, you have to consider how much you're only paying for this. Will come back again. read more
