Great food considering the price, looked clean and staff was efficient on getting refills.

Pacific Seafood Buffet offers a wide variety of food choices, and the prices are reasonable at $13.99 for lunch.

Nice clean place. Very busy. The food is good. There are a lot of delicacies which are very Asian oriented. Odd seafood. That sort of thing. There is no "salad bar". Everything that wasn't odd was great. If you're looking for some exotic possibilities this is your place. read more

Don't eat here lol. Went here about thirty minutes ago. Food is not fresh. It's lukewarm or cold. There wasn't any seafood. There weren't many choices either. It's a waste of money. read more

On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7 Food: Good selection most selections are good the service is great and the ambiance is ok read more

Bad experience when we came here today (Sunday). There were 4 of us who dined at your restaurant on Arizona Avenue. Once finished the server brought us a bill for just under $87.00. At the register we asked them to split the bill in two. When the cashier did that the cashier charged each of us $56.25 ($56.25 x 2= $112.50) How did our meal go from $87 for 4 people to $112.50? The rate per person on Sunday is $18.88 each. read more

Horrible place. Food was old. Crab Tasted like ammonia, faded in color and Mushy. Sushi tasted like plastic. Ice cream is single cups and taste horrible. Food is hard. Over cooked. And Burnt. Won't return. Had to speak with Tony(manager) Came on a Friday night for crab legs. Restaurant is hot. 123 degrees outside. Poor AC inside. Told Tony we were only dining for 15mins and couldn't take the food. Had to wait 20 mins for Tony to show up. Tony told us "it was our taste buds. And no one else has complained" he also said "you put food on your plate so you need to pay full price" wow. seriously?! Wtf is wrong with this place. read more

When paying for Togo make sure you look at the weight scale they use. The cashier tried to add another $2. To the total but my math was fast and then she changed the price to what it's suppose to be. FYI they charge by the lbs. from 5.50 to 7.85 I will not be back. read more

Not a decent buffet , spend your dollars elsewhere :) Food come out in tiny batches (not to fill each bin over 1/2 at best). Off tasting meat in several dishes and consistency was not of meat (had no bounce back ,more like eating a piece of pasta) ??? Got the runs that night , Go figure :( There are far way better buffets in the area for the exact same price (do your yelp work ) . read more

Food wasn't the greatest. Over cooked and burnt on lots. Service is service besides the soda and they charge for that extra. First buffet that soda is not included with the buffet. They rang our order all on one card and we all had separate bills and they came out separately. Glad I had enough to cover everyone's and they Apple paid me then. Very dark parking lot and walkway. Place could use an update. Felt like we were at an Asian Bingo all with a guy going around speaking into a mic tell the kitchen what he wanted them to cook. Would I come back on my own, no. If others wanted to I would join them but I wasn't crazy about this place. read more

Decided to stop here on a Sunday for Brunch when we noticed it after our trip to Costco. There is only "dinner" option on Sundays. We didn't know what to expect as this is our first time here. I am happy to share we are blown away by the selections. It is not a very big place, but they managed to pack A LOT in. You have the usual suspects: steam crab legs, stir fried of various kinds, Mongolian wok, fried plantains, and then there are "bizarre" foods (well, not to me) : battered frog legs, checked, steam snails, checked(ok so these aren't your escargot grade that you would get at a Paris diner, but it will suffice if you wanting a taste), and then there's "sweet soup" for desert. I tried to get a small bite of everything but I left without trying their wall of "dim sum" offerings. Also want to commend the kitchen staff, what a tremendous job they are doing trying to replenish the food stations, very impressive. Overall, very well staffed and excellent service considering how crowded it was. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place because to get in and get food it cost 20$ which is not bad, but when we got the bill it was almost 300$. Also the server was very rude and very passive aggressive towards me and my family.She also added a 35$ tip without talking to us. I would recommend a deferent place if you want to eat at a place like this. read more

Was hoping to eat here since the mask mandate was lifted but you cannot enter without a mask and cannot serve yourself. Guess I will be going elsewhere.... read more

The place is dirty, roaches, bathrooms are dirty. The food is horrible and cold. I do not recommend this place at all. It's very sad it used to be really good. Avoid this place. read more

This was a horrible experience. All the food was stale and cold and dry. They bring out the crab so few at a time and they were like rubber! The crab wouldn't crack and it tasted like tap water. Never will be coming again. read more

First time visiting this little hidden gem last week! I was skeptical but decided to give it a try because I love seafood. We went on a Saturday around 12 and were pleasantly surprised to find a nice variety of seafood and Asian dishes. I am curious to see if the M-F lunch buffet ($10.88) is the same food we experienced on Saturday ($18.88). I will definitely be back! read more

We come mostly to enjoy the seafood but the owner or manager came over asked us don't come back next time because owner can't get profit if we only eat seafood, I wonder why they are operating a buffet restaurant if they are afraid of what customers choose to eat unbelievable ! read more

Food is great. This place is neat and clean. Every food station is full and and hot, or cold depending. THe resterant keeps all the food fresh and very tasty. It is an unbelievable variety of dishes. Each dish is better than the previous. Dim Sum, Sushi, or Asian.They have it all. read more

Great service, attentive staff :) I think that their food is really tasty, been going there for years

We went to the Hibachi Grill first but it was insanely packed. Pacific was further away from us but was by far a great backup. It wasn't very busy at first (and we called to make sure) but by the time we left there wasn't an empty table in the house! They gave us plastic disposable gloves to handle the tongs but everything else was business as usual. The raw fish was superb and I had the best clam chowder I think I've ever had in my life. And I almost missed that area because there's like 10 buffet tables to choose from! Unfortunately I always seem to fill up before getting to dessert but I did have two coconut macaroons that were so dense and heavenly *chef's kiss*. It's $20ish per person with unlimited drinks and it's worth every penny if you want some AMAZING seafood. read more

This definitely wasn't what I was expecting at all. I went for lunch. They really need to update their restaurant. There was a foul smell coming from the kitchen. The food was just a typical nothing spectacular. It wasn't a true seafood buffet in my opinion. The service was great tho. Maybe dinner is better. read more

Good and service almost great, we go here probably once a month, we have never had a bad experience , the best clam chowder

Been eating here for about 17 years, never been disappointed. I feel like most Chinese buffets have a single flavor profile: everything is either sweet or savory, this place is a good mix of both. The food also seems higher quality than some other buffets too. Their hand made sushi selection is pretty good, the egg tarts, Korean bbq short ribs, and pineapple sticky rice, crayfish, and coconut shrimp are among my favorite items. The seafood offerings are plentiful (as one would hope for a place a with "seafood" on the name). I will say the dessert bar is nothing special but they do occasionally have these coffee jelly cups with a coffee jelly base and sweet cream sauce on top. They're divine! Service is always good too. They quickly get you sat and take a drink order and they refill drinks and take empty plates really fast too. read more

I've eaten here, a few times, and it's descent. The food is typical Chinese buffet, with the addition of safe sushi. Not 5 star, but busy on weeKdays. Maybe, after your dismal failure at Jogoya, you should think about customer service read more

I'd rate Pacific Seafood Buffet between a 3.5 to 4 stars. Price: The cost per adult for unlimited food is $17.88 per adult. Kids 3 and over cost $5 per child. Kids under 3 eat free. Quality of Food: It's a hit and miss. If you go during busy time, the food constantly fresh. If you go on a slow time, the food gets a little cold and stale. Overall, they do have a good variety and selection of food to offer. read more

Pacific Seafood Buffet - Good food - Buffets Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Yelp brought me here. It is the first and only time the app has let me down. Walking up to the door, the restaurant looks like it took the place of a Red Lobster. The decor is non-descript for the most part. Then you enter and are tossed into a bright, bustling lunch wagon! Goodness gracious. It was a bit overwhelming at first, partially because the entrance is right at the foot of the first buffet line. I was greeted immediately and seated just as fast. Before I could sit, the greeter asked what I wanted. Water. Then, with a smile, she was gone. "OK, this place is homestyle," I thought. No frilly lace, no fancy adornments. Just mounds of quick food and easy service. Deal! I was there on business and wanted a quick, easy lunch anyway. First thing was to check out the restroom and wash my hands. Eck. The restroom was pretty terrible. It always concerns me when an establishment has a smelly restroom, even mildly smelly, as this one was. The rest of the establishment was clean, and there were servers all over the place - wiping surfaces, filling food, checking on restaurant goers. I was very pleased with the service. It's the kind of place where you don't notice your server filling your water or leaving your bill, which could be a bad thing, depending. *Note to patrons: If you have a cold, maybe consider not coming to a buffet. Or, if you feel compelled to, or are dragged to the establishment unwillingly, at least cover your mouth as you hack. Where are your manners? That's not cute, or sanitary. Sitting down, I found that the booths are quite uncomfortable. If you are above 5'-8", as I am, be ready to use those contortionist skills you never trained for. The booth is situated in such a way that you are forced to have both elbows nearly on - or on, if that's your style - the table. It was the strangest thing. I kept looking at other tables, wondering if other folks were having a comparable experience. But, alas, most people didn't look to be over 5'-8. Then I scanned the buffet. The restaurant has a very broad offering, but, goodness, it would have been nice to have some place cards to let us know what we were eating. Only a few items were named. The offerings included an assortment of dim sum, Chinese stir fry vegetable and meat dishes, short ribs, what looked to be marinated and steamed pork, fried rice, crab legs, noodles and a dessert bar, which included the likes of Jell-O and ice cream. But, in all, the food wasn't all that great. My absolute favorite dish with the sautéed spinach. Wow. I could have had that all alone. It was lightly seasoned with a hint of ginger. Very fresh and soft. Just beautiful and bright. Then there was everything else. Sadly, the sushi was beyond its time. I went for the white fish, salmon and what appeared to be red snapper. The salmon was of the softer feel, which was slightly strange because the rice was a bit too firm. The white fish was OK, but the red snapper lookalike was a bit too firm. I also tried a couple of rolls. They reminded me of the prepackaged rolls you can get from the grocery store. Awww, bummer. read more

Update 04/25/2018 Sometimes the sushi is 1-2 stars depending on how fresh it is. The food is hit or miss that day depending on how fresh it is. I was there at 11:30 AM (shortly after opening) and the sushi was nasty. It must have been from the night before. However at 12 noon, I see the sushi chef putting out new fresh and tasty sushi. One day the hot and sour soup is fresh and delicious (4-stars). Another day it is yucky and gross (1 star). It depends who makes it that day. Service can be horrid. Waitress for my area isn't even there most of the time and cannot be found. I bring it to the attention of cashier/hostess that I need service. Asian waitress with black hair/blonde highlights finally comes for help once. I hadn't seen her anywhere in the dining room the whole time. When ready to checkout and get the bill, waitress is looking in my direction 4-5 times and every time I wave to her she purposes shies away. Just trying to get decent service here. Only time I get service is when I approach the cashier/hostess for assistance. Couldn't even get the final check from the waitress. So anyways, I obviously I didn't tip her as service was the worst I've seen anywhere. Waitresses don't normally ignore you when they are looking at you and you wave. This is the first time in 20 years of dining, I've experienced this. I've been tipping 20%+, which is pretty high for a buffet, every time I come here except this last visit. I forgot my phone cell there as I went out to my car as I was so frustrated trying to get someone to help me, I forgot. I quickly came back and found she threw my phone on the floor and it cracked the screen protector and the Apple cover that I bought with it. I ended up having to replace the screen protector and getting a new case. Mean people here. Watch out. I wasn't going to even write this review if she hadn't thrown my new iPhone 10 on the floor. read more

The array of seafood they offer here for the price is truly impressive. You can sample sushi and sashimi to mussels and crab legs. They always feature salmon and sometimes even have crawfish! There's a whole lot to pick from and usually the price is around $20 per person. It's hard to beat the value you get for your hard-earned seafood-snarfin' dollar here! A couple of things I noticed in the few times I've done the buffet thing here. If you arrive late, the pickin's will be slimmer. There will be some items that you know have sat in the chafing dish that aren't as palatable-looking as they were when first deployed. You have to act fast when the batches of crab legs are put out, since everyone and their mom seems to belly up for another round of these pronto! I also steer clear of a lot of the sushi past 9 p.m. It always looks a little dried-out and curious to me, not something I'm willing to take too much of a chance on. However, I feel the dining experience here is pleasant. The staff are friendly and helpful. And there is a ton of good seafood to keep you satisfied. There are even things that I'm a little unsure of how to eat, like sea snails or something I couldn't quite recognize. This place is densely frequented by the East Valley Asian community, which to me says this is the place to find reasonably-priced good seafood. Beware though...the competition is fierce for those fresh batches of crab legs! You may have to use your crab cracker to defend your rightly-deserved, hard-fought-and-won portion! read more

First off, pricing as of February 16th, 2015: Weekday lunches: $9.88 + tax Weekday dinners: $16.88 + tax Weekends (all day): $17.88 + tax Okay so I kinda ditched this place for a while cause I didn't think their dinner buffets were all that great for what you're paying but since it's President's Day and I get a Monday off, I decided to check out their weekday lunch buffet. Honestly, I don't know if everything seemed better cause of our really nice waitress Lisa, or if it was the significantly cheaper ($8 cheaper to be precise) price tag, but I finally see why people rave about this buffet. With the exception of not having any crab legs, you get the same variety and choices at the weekday lunch available to you on the weekends. There are about 40-50 dishes available, the food was fresh, and you can get your usual fix of orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, broccoli beef (admittedly with way more broccoli than beef), some seafood, some Korean barbecue meats, and even some dim sum. I honestly think the quality of the dim sum has improved cause the little custard buns definitely had more custard that I remembered, and the barbecue pork buns (char siew buns) definitely had a lot more meat than on my last visit a few months back. They also have a sushi bar where the sushi is freshly prepared in front of you, but if it's sushi you want, do yourself a favor and get all-you-can-eat sushi at Mido Sushi cause the sushi at Pacific doesn't quite cut it. Now on to desserts. Not impressed. I realize all Chinese buffets have similar desserts but the cakes just don't do it for me. They don't look great and taste like a heap of sugar. That said, go for the ice cream right next to the dessert table. They generally have about 8 flavors to choose from, two of which are some sort of sorbet, a chocolate, a strawberry, a vanilla, a mint chocolate chip, a cookies and cream, and a green tea. Green tea was the obvious favorite with there being barely anything left when I hit the ice cream bar at about 1PM today. In a nutshell: Lunch is great, at $9.88 (it rhymes!). The crab legs aren't worth the extra $8 and that's only available at dinner. Enjoy! read more

I went here for the first time last night. Plenty of variety. Clean. Friendly staff. Good food.

We came here for Lunch Buffet while visiting Mesa for the first time; We arrived shortly after they opened at 11am, the Restaurant was clean and spacious, with variety of food trays displayed, all freshly prepared. They have lots of seafood that's what we liked; steamed fish, fried fish fillet, baked salmon, all kinds of shrimps, hot and cold, clams, mussels, etc. Sushi were very fresh. We enjoyed all their foods. I was going to give higher stars initially, until, I found a piece of plastic wrapping in my mouth when I was eating a fish rolls. This was not good! I did mention to the worker. We agreed their foods were pretty decent for $10.88/pp, plus, we got 10% discount for being seniors. A very reasonable Lunch Buffet; No wonder there were many guests eating there. With spaced sitting and limited capacity due to Covid. When they placed guests next to our table, with less than 3 feet apart, which made us uncomfortable. Luckily, we were ready to leave. Furthermore, all guests supposed to wear masks and gloves when getting their foods; but we saw two guests either forgot their masks, or only wear one glove, and using bare hand touching clean plates. One guest even eating with gloves, still touching his mouth and face; we know his gloves are contaminated. However, We did not stay to see wether he use same gloves for foods or not. But most likely, Yes. Because we were told to ask front desk for more new gloves if needed. It's extra hassle for some people. As Resturant owners and workers, I think they have responsibilities to protect all patrons by reminding them on Covid guidelines, make sure food gloves are easy accessible at food counter. (instead of asking front desk for new gloves) also provide Hand Sanitizers on each table would be a good ideas. Yu read more

Pacific Seafood Buffet - Plastic wrapping - Buffets Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I used to drop by Pacific Seafood Buffet (PSB) weekly, but I can no longer do an 'all-you'can-eat bar justice, so I don't go as often. When I go, it is close to opening time, so the food is fresh and all the trays are full. Most of the traditional asian dishes are well done, and the round grill in the back is as good as these sorts of cooks get in this area. The sushi bar is pretty good, but not very extensive. I consider PSB the best asian seafood buffet in the chandler/gilbert area, for what that opinion is worth. Four stars instead of five because the staff never seems to be happy you are there. read more

Man, all of you reviewers thinking this place needs to be like a Vegas buffet? Honestly this is one of the best Chinese buffet I ever been to that charges average price. Give it a 5 star for justice, food is great, actual seafood being served, plenty of variety, will comeback even just to get to go order. read more

The food is rubbish and the soup tastes like pot water and tastes terrible! The service is also very poor and the attitude is bad! What a rubbish restaurant！ read more

4 years later still a solid spot for a lunch buffet. They raised their prices a bit from the $8.95 I remember to around $10.50 for lunch but it's still an incredible value. Where else can you find a great mix of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food all under one roof. Standouts are - Wokked Mushrooms - Maki Handrolls - BBQ Area I wouldn't come here for the $18 crab leg dinner free for all but it is a go-to spot for lunch~ read more

This buffet is a keeper, good crab legs if you dare want to battle for them. Love the salt and pepper shrimp with the shell and head. Have to tear off the head but eat the rest, shell and legs to appreciate the flavor. If you remove the shell, may as well eat the shrimp cocktail. Another favorite is the salt and pepper frog legs (taste like chicken) and the kalbi korean short ribs and the other dishes in the bbq section. Just when you think you are stuffed, have to get some of the self serve ice cream that is available. You will leave wishing you really did not earlier but satisfied. Probably the best asian seafood buffet in town, just wish we did not have to drive 30 miles to get there, but if you are in the area, it is a must. There is a reason why 90% of the people eating there are asians read more

I look at all these reviews and I laugh. For $20 do you really expect upscale seafood? If you want gourmet you should go be willing to pay for it. You get exactly what you pay for here. Great variety, decent food. They do a great job of keeping things full and hot. The restaurant seems pretty clean overall. Probably the best in its class in the valley. No complaints at all. The manager was on top of everything like he always is. read more

Came here on a Friday night around 7:00. They were packed (but this was a good sign), and we still got seated right away despite how busy they were. They had a huge selection of food and I was impressed with the variety. The food was hot and delicious. The only complaint I had was they could up their dessert bar a little bit. I was not pleased with the dessert choices and there wasn't much variety. Price was also decent for 2 people. read more
