    Sushi, Korean BBQ and a great selection of Asian dishes. AYCE for $20! Ten percent off if you're 60 and over. I haven't been to my favorite sushi restaurant Junn, Tempe, in over a year. Pacific has been my go to on the West side for over ten years. Always well-prepared food and better service than most all buffets. Clean, handicap accessible inside. It's in a srip mall now, but it's still the same ambiance (a bit noisy), but overall enjoyable for family and groups. Be careful about what you fill up on - there's always more to choose from than most all other Asian/Seafood buffets. Give it 4.4 stars. I subtracted .05 for noise, crowd, then .05 for minor food peculiars, but half a point more for my last plate, which was BBQ. Next time I'll start with that.

    Pacific seafood is a budget friendly Asian buffet restaurant. They have all the common dishes like fried rice and chowmein. Sundays are extra cost because they have extra seafood options. We frequent here when nobody in our group can decide where to eat. Overall decent buffet for the price and they seem to have gotten better recently as well. Food seems fresher with more selection. Our favorites are ribs, salt/pepper crab, and large shrimps. They also have sushi/sashimi. Enjoy! Highly recommend!

    Great Selection

    Great weekend lunch with friends at Pacific Seafood Buffet in Glendale, AZ. Plenty of Asian seafood selections but you need to bring your appetite. Service was good and the food was great. Can't even start to tell you all the selections. My plates included baked salmon, escargot, sushi, bacon wrapped shrimp, spare ribs, pot stickers, cheese baked mussels. Also tried coffee jello and some other sweets for dessert and a well earned nap. Weekends are busy. Prices are reasonable. Large open dinning area. All good here!

    Salmon skin! Unbelievable I have never seen it on a buffet before. Healthy bacon

    They moved to a new location on the SW corner of Bell and 59th Ave. This location is much larger than their old location closer to loop 101. We went there because we were going to State Farm Stadium for the Final Four. I posted the current hours and prices. They still have a good variety of Chinese and Japanese food. The downside is they are slow to replace the nigiri so if you are waiting for some you need to be watching and take the few they put out because they go quick. Overall good for fast efficient meal near the stadium. Just wish they wouldn't slow play the nigiri so much.

    Over paid for nasty food this place is dirty and gross!

    I swear to God the health inspector has been either paid off or is out of work because how is this place open for business I am sick to my stomach the peel n eat shrimp we're supposed to be on ice were in a puddle of water,not one Ice definitely way too warm to eat on top of that mislabeled food wrong temperatures this place was a complete waste of money and appetite you couldn't pay me to walk back in there even the dessert the chocolate chip cookies were stale the pudding was melted the jello was running the Mandarin oranges were warm it was just gross. The station to get new silverware was dirty and disgusting

    Came here on a Tuesday night with fiance visiting AZ, here has alot of varities of sushi ,seafood and much more. Service was great as well absolutely my to go buffet, and highly recommended. Ambience here is like any other buffet place you go. Will come back definitely when I am in AZ...

    Love the more exotic items like banana leaf packets of rice and bean
    Joyce S.

    Weekend buffet had an amazing assortment of seafood and they understandably charge more, but if you really want to dive into seafood you should definitely go then. I didn't limit myself to the seafood though, although I did lean heavily in that direction and also opted for the more exotic items than more mainstream buffets would have. These were some of my choices: crab legs, clams, tilapia, frog legs, crayfish, shrimp, sushi, chicken wings, octopus, sesame bean paste balls, little banana leaf packets with rice and bean filling, all manner of vegetables, different soups, and so much more and you don't have to eat again for the rest of the year ;) The picture shows my first plate. The workers were always busy filling and freshening the steam bins, the sushi chef and barbecue stations were filled with appetizing treats. And servers will bring you your beverage choices and keep removing your empty plates, so make sure you tip these hard workers as they add to the experience. The well lit and modern buffet was efficiently arranged and tables and booths were not crammed together, but what ruined our meal atmospherically is that a nearby booth had screaming cranky babies and very young children. Management would do well to reserve a corner area for those coming in with children of that age as it was incredibly disruptive. They also should do a better job of labeling the items on the buffet that would be unfamiliar to many people--people do like knowing what they are eating.

I chose tilapia the fish was pretty good light and flakey but I didn't care for their fries and would order it again but would go for steak fries instead. Shanda had the shrimp Louie salad which left he wanting the shrimp lacked flavor and the Louie dressing was bland the cost was $16.99. We wound up switching entrées in the middle and I ate her salad.

Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

The cabbage was actually good and had decent flavor, but the VEGAN mac and cheese was completely tasteless and lacked seasoning.

We had a lobster roll, a Mexican salad (served on a large flour tortilla, as a burrito!) as well as the flatbread and chicken quesadillas.
