    Came in on a Wednesday at 10:30 AM…read more 3.5/5 For the price, this buffet is definitely worth it. The food wasn't the best I've ever had, but they had a huge variety, and most of it was pretty good. My favorites were the crispy cheese Rangoon, sushi rolls, shrimp with mushrooms, garlic bread, egg rolls better than Panda Express, green beans, mushrooms, and the egg drop soup. I was also surprised that the imitation crab and small crab plate tasted good--they weren't fishy like they can be at some buffets. The orange chicken and jalapeño chicken were both crispy and tasted very similar. The fried rice was just okay by itself, but it paired well with everything else. There were plenty more dishes, desserts, and even a Mongolian BBQ station, but I was already too full to try everything. I didn't check the kitchen or restrooms, but the dining area looked clean. The staff quickly cleared plates and wiped down tables as soon as guests left. Overall, it's a good value buffet with lots of choices. I'd come back.

    Went for lunch Friday 2 PM, not too many clients, only 8 others…read more This place is fairly large, nice, clean, bright but the food selection is very poor, about half at the Fullerton branch. The Mongolian cook way over cook the beef and vegetables, beef so tough inedible, vegetables all mushy, and I told him again and again to cook it rare. Mexicans always over cook. Unless these buffets can hire cooks who can do proper stir fry, they should get rid of the Mongolian section. This place is not worth coming back.

    They offer an all-you-can-eat menu for $45 per person. Since this location operates as both a…read morebanquet hall and a restaurant, it's a good idea to call ahead and confirm they're open. When we first walked in, the place looked empty, and my wife and I almost considered leaving. Just as we were about to head out, a server came over, seated us, and explained the menu. The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

    FANTASTIC PLACE FOR FOOD AND A PARTY!…read more I had the privilege of being invited to a party with some friends who had booked their event with Sea Queen Restaurant and I cannot deny that I was only impressed with the food, decor, staff, and the entire experience. If you are interested in booking your own event here, I recommend it. If you have no events coming up and just want some amazing food, still come here for that too! Amazing dishes are cooked and served here. It is mostly Vietnamese cuisine that you would find here, but hey... who doesn't enjoy this kind of cuisine? There is so much this restaurant has to offer. Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!

    Sushi One Spot in Montclair is definitely up there with some of my favorite AYCE sushi spots…read more The sushi quality is really good, and you have a tone of nigiri and rolls to pick from. They also have a wide array of appetizers you can get, and all the ones we got (katsu, teriyaki chicken, miso soup, etc.) were all very good. The standouts by far are the nigiri, which are very fresh and have a great rice to fish ratio. The service here is also very quick and our server was very welcoming and attentive. Overall, Sushi One Spot is definitely a solid option if you want AYCE sushi, and I will certainly be back.

    Recently was enticed to return for their new tasting ayce menu that includes rolls, appetizers, and…read moresalad for 21.99. Think the value is genuinely unmatched and is definitely worthy of me returning in the future. However I think service could be slightly more hospitable, but seems like there's no incentive with autogratuity. The tablet system is more convenient for sure than waving down servers to take the paper, but they forgot to bring out a couple items and there's no way to visually keep track on the tablet. Mussels also could have been slightly better removed from their shell, some pieces you had to tug. Overall, this is the best deal for ayce sushi in the area by far as long as you don't feel like ordering nigiri.
