Finally made the trip, and it was absolutely worth it! We've missed Souplantation for years and had…read morebeen wanting to try Soup 'n Fresh ever since we heard about it. The moment we walked in, all the memories came rushing back. Even though the name has changed, the fresh salad bar, delicious soups, the smell of freshly baked bread, baked potatoes, and sweet potatoes all felt just as comforting as we remembered. Our favorites were the variety of fresh salad selections, the chicken noodle soup, and the clam chowder. The bright, spacious dining room and relaxed atmosphere made the experience even better. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we'll gladly keep coming back whenever we're craving salads and soups, yum yum.

​The Ultimate Souplantation Nostalgia--and Still Hits the Spot!…read more ​Soup 'n Fresh in Rancho Cucamonga has officially become my go-to tradition for my annual performance review with my manager. The moment you walk in and sit down, you get that instant, amazing "blast from the past" feeling of classic Souplantation. ​The Game Plan ​To Start: A big plate of Asian salad alongside hot cornbread slathered in honey butter. ​The Carbs & Soups: Next up is the focaccia bread paired with my two absolute favorite soups: the New England Clam Chowder and the Chicken Tortilla. ​If Space Permits: The mac & cheese is always calling my name if I'm not already stuffed. ​The Grand Finale: You physically cannot leave without building a mountain of soft-serve ice cream. ​Service & Quality ​Huge shoutout to the manager, Greg! He took the time to share his personal menu favorites with us and gave us the inside scoop--everything at the Rancho location is made completely in-house. That extra touch and fresh quality make a huge difference. ​No matter the occasion, I always leave here happy. I'll definitely be back for my next review... as long as I don't get fired between now and then! Highly recommended!

He is right there to help, clean your table and refill your drinks even though it is a self serve buffet. We told him that the cherry coke wasn't working and within minutes he had it fixed.

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!

Got seated and was introduce to one of the most gorgeous African American sister (our waitress, didn't catch her name). But man, she was so beautiful! This gorgeous woman got our order down and completed to a tee! She was quick and accurate! Y'all better pay her good cuz she's amazing! I had to shave off a star bc I got sick the next day prob from the 3 orders of shrimps I had. Other than that, all the meats were fresh and really good, especially the bulgogi. I just had to write this review to give her props for taking care of us!

We actually discovered this place during COVID when they had everything set up outside, and let me…read moretell you... they accommodated their customers so well. It was organized, safe, and still such a great experience. We have been coming back ever since. If you're wondering what keeps me coming back... First, the service is incredible. There is an older gentleman with salt and pepper hair who is always so professional and kind. He carries himself with such calm confidence and respect. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, but he truly stands out every single time. Second, the OPTIONS. The spread here is amazing. From sauces to fresh vegetables, noodles, seafood, fruit, and dessert, there is something for everyone. And can we talk about the watermelon? For some reason, it is always perfectly sweet. Every single time. I am a huge shrimp lover, so being able to make my own shrimp in the hot pot is a dream. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like it. It is such a fun experience. Pro tip: Here is the sauce combo I put together and it is chef's kiss. In a bowl add jalapeños, cucumbers, hot chili, chili oil, sesame oil, and ponzu sauce. Then top it with fresh cilantro. It is so fresh, spicy, tangy, and delicious. You will thank me later. If you are looking for a place that is comfortable, not overwhelmingly crowded, and consistently delivers great food and service, this is the place to go. We have been loyal ever since we found it, and it never disappoints.

The food itself was fine but nothing extraordinary especially for that price point. My husband and…read moreI visted for lunch last Friday and had the Tonkotsu and Szechuan broth base. We stuck to the beef and the pork belly which was very good, the beef not so much though. The buffet bar had plenty of options and sauces so that was a plus but unfortunately the lack of service really made this experience a two-start rating. We were greeted (dryly), seated, and left to figure out the confusing ordering sheet. Thankfully we have experience with HotPot and (sort of) figured it out and even after we expressed concern about how we were suppose to order/write down our meat selections per round (which they claim is unlimited but they only have 3 columns on the sheet) our questions remained unanswered. Trying to flag a waiter down to order more meat was a pain as hardly any were available and we were missing appetizers on our "second" but with the way the service was we figured there wasn't any point in bringing it up not to mention the lack of (flat) soda refills. I doubt we will be returning.

Went to Papa Zhang Hot Pot for all-you-can-eat hot pot and overall it was a solid experience,…read moreespecially for the price. The value is definitely the main highlight, pricing is fair for AYCE and you get a decent variety of meats, veggies, and sides. For a casual hot pot night, it's hard to complain on cost alone. That said, there were a few things that made the experience a bit less smooth. Parking was a challenge since the plaza gets very busy, so it took a while to find a spot. Inside, the setup was also a little confusing at first the hot pot being built into the table takes some getting used to, and it made it slightly awkward to get the soup out comfortably while cooking. Food-wise, it was good, but the refill timing was inconsistent. A few items like meat and fruit ran out faster than expected, and we had to wait a while, sometimes close to 30 minutes for refills to come back out. Service was okay overall, just a bit slow during peak rush. Still, for the price point and AYCE format, it's a good deal. I'd come back, just with lower expectations on speed and pacing. 4 stars mainly for value.

This gave us 1 lobster tale to split. Little disappointing as it says 1 tail per meal. The shrimp was great. The scallops were the absolute worst. Tasted like old milk. Really gross! The hotpot flavors were awesome! Our server Shannon I believe was her name was amazing!!! She should get a raise! The decor is really cool. Instead of corn napkin holders all over I'd done different veggies or products to go into your hotpot. Thank you for the experience.
