    For fans of inexpensive buffets, this place has decent but limited offerings. They have sushi,…read moreshrimp, salmon, mussels & imitation crab as seafood options even for lunch including the meat in their Mongolian-style stir fry section & the usual orange chicken. Also, some dimsum like siomai, potsticker dumplings & chicken feet. I would rather go here than Golden Corral for lunch. The one dish that I have not seen in other buffets is their Black Pepper Chicken which was excellent with its crunchiness, sweetness & peppery taste. This dish reminded me of the Panda Beef in the high-end Panda Inn (parent of Panda Express chain). The service was quick & friendly. And for the price of $15.99 per person, it is so much value. But if you are looking for a wider variety of selections & better quality meats, spending an extra $9-$12 at places like Umi Sushi & Shiki might do it for you. You get what you pay for. As for me, I do not wish to pay more and would rather settle for something that gives me value for the money especially if you have someone in your party who does not eat that much to begin with.

    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.

    05/24/26 Sunday…read more Stars: 4.5/5 Our friends booked this venue for their wedding reception. Sea Queen has a restaurant side and a banquet hall side. We had the banquet hall side and it was able to accommodate 200 guests. They had the place set up early and allowed the wedding party to come in advance to drop off drinks, decor, etc. They allowed us to bring food and alcohol. They also prepaid for drinks from the bar so folks could order from a bartender. Only a few dishes were ordered (since there was other food from an outside catering vendor) and I only got to try it after it was cold so I can't give a wholistic review on the food they serve, but I really liked the leaf wrapped beef with Banh Hoi (vermicelli sheet) and the mango salad! My one complaint is the women's bathroom. Two (out of 3) of the stalls can't lock so the girls had to help each other hold the doors closed. However, it was mostly clean and had toilet paper in stock. +They offer takeout containers for leftovers from the party. +Very kind and accommodating staff. They cleared some tables to create more space on the dance floor. +Parking is plentiful.

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.

Needless to say, she did an amazing job! She was very attentive throughout our entire visit and always seemed to top off our drinks before we even had a chance to ask. That's great customer service! The food was fresh and everything looked well maintained. One thing that really stood out to me--and I'm not sure if I was meant to see it--was that when food had been sitting out too long, they actually threw it away and replaced it with fresh food instead of recycling or reusing it. I really appreciated seeing that because it gave me confidence in the freshness and quality of the food. My personal favorite was the salad bar. Everything looked and tasted fresh, with plenty of options to choose from. Overall, we had a great experience, but Paty truly made our visit even better with her friendly personality and excellent service. Employees like her definitely deserve recognition. I would happily come back!

My family has spent thousands of dollars here over the years. We would come 2-3 times a month and easily spend $100+ each visit. Unfortunately, my last FOUR visits have been terrible, and today was the final straw. Today I brought four additional people with me because this was once a restaurant I loved and recommended. Instead, I was completely embarrassed by how we were treated. Joyce tossed/threw straws at our table, brought out Dr Peppers and waters, and immediately told us that "the rules" were that we couldn't share sodas. Nobody said we were sharing sodas. The assumption, attitude, and way she spoke to us were completely unnecessary. The situation became so uncomfortable and humiliating that our entire group got up and walked out without eating. What bothers me most is that I have continued giving this restaurant chances because I've been a loyal customer for so many years. After four bad experiences, I'm done. You don't treat longtime paying customers this way--especially customers who have supported your business consistently for 5+ years and are bringing NEW customers through your doors. I never thought I would be leaving this review for a restaurant my family used to love, but the service and treatment under the current management have completely changed our opinion of this place. We will not be returning.
