Comí aquí dos veces antes de tener esta horrible experiencia. El lugar no es precisamente el más limpio, el más ordenado ni el de mejor aspecto, pero es un bufé económico y la comida es de calidad promedio para ser un bufé. Mi última experiencia fue algo totalmente distinto. Llegué con mi familia y tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos para pagar; nos hicieron sentarnos en una zona de espera donde había una alfombra empapada (no sé por qué). Mientras esperábamos, pasó un hombre sin hogar, se saltó la fila sin pagar y nadie lo detuvo. Se dirigió hacia la parte trasera del restaurante y, desafortunadamente para mí y mi familia, ahí era precisamente donde nos habían sentado. El hombre empezó a tomar los platos limpios y a apilarlos, y nadie decía nada. Tuve que avisar a una empleada, quien le indicó que no podía hacer eso; él se detuvo, tomó un plato y comenzó a llenarlo de verduras y carne para que se lo cocinaran. Yo estaba esperando detrás de él, y él seguía tomando comida para un tercer plato, hasta que la empleada volvió a decirle que no podía hacerlo; finalmente, se quedó con uno de los tres platos, mientras que los otros dos fueron a parar a la basura, arrojados allí por los empleados. Tomé un plato --haciendo un gran esfuerzo por seguir dispuesto a comer allí--, pero mientras este hombre esperaba su comida, se puso a deambular por la zona y comenzó a tocar las cucharas y los tenedores sin motivo alguno. Una vez más, la empleada le pidió que dejara de hacerlo. Cuando los pedidos estuvieron listos, él tomó mi plato por error; eso fue la gota que colmó el vaso para mí, así que decidí abandonar el lugar. Ahora me pregunto: ¿por qué tenemos que presenciar todo esto? ¿Y acaso nadie habría hecho nada al respecto si yo no hubiera dicho nada? read more

Poor atmosphere and lack of management oversight ​This was our third visit to Sakura Buffet. We visited on January 8th after 12:30 PM, hoping for a peaceful lunch, but the experience was unfortunately very stressful. ​A woman who appeared to be dining alone with several children allowed them to run wildly throughout the entire restaurant without any discipline or supervision. This created a chaotic environment that showed a complete lack of respect for the establishment and other diners. ​I brought this to the manager's attention, requesting that they speak to the parent and ask that the children remain seated for safety and decorum. Unfortunately, management did not take action. While we like the food, we cannot enjoy a meal in such a disruptive setting. We won't be returning if this lack of supervision and management intervention continues, as the experience is simply not worth the frustration. read more

It was okay we did a take out it is most reasonable that way. 60$ for three is pretty cheap the lids did not fit on the containers so we did get a little spillage but for the most part it was good left overs should be awesome read more

Came here for a group gathering and heard rave mentions of this place. It's been a while since I've been to a buffet so I was pretty excited. I arrived earlier than the rest of the group and saw the doors open at around 11AM. I was pretty shocked to see so many families and groups lining up and immediately walking in. Once inside, it seems like a standard buffet with all the food ready at the side and the tables all around the rest of the corners. You can pick your own seats, and you get your own drinks, which I like because the soft drinks are sometimes charged extra in other places. The variety of drinks were also pretty impressive with rasbperry/blueberry juice to horchata/jamaica agua frescas, to hot tea or coffee, or sodas and lemonades. I picked out some of the hot food items mostly and grabbed seafood items. Sadly, the salmon and the sea bass to me were very salty and put me off from getting it again. I was told that the fish is usually much better, so maybe it was an off day unfortunately, but it was pretty salty to where you'd get worried of your blood pressure. Anyways, I was able to enjoy their hot soups (which were nice and flavorful) and other foods like chicken wings, orange chicken, steak, etc and found them very pleasant. The desserts area was super nice and I got myself a complimentary ice cream from their freezer. *senior discounts given, but you must have ID no matter what *Hibachi grill with chef in back *sushi and seafood Pretty straightforward and didn't have any problems dining here!!! read more

Sakura Buffet - My seafood plate - Buffets Near Me - Lancaster, California

So today's my last visit here because i usually come for the crab and I've noticed both times it's smelled like ammonia (windex chemical like) and I've gotten sick but I googled it and it said it's because it's gone bad. That's just dangerous eating seafood that's gone rotten and they're continuing to serve it... I get they gotta make a profit but not at my health's costs. I used to really enjoy it here but I'm done eating risky food by coming here. read more

Sakura Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Lancaster, California

DO NOT COME HERE, if you're coming for an average buffet find somewhere else. I can't describe it other than just dirty. The carpet looks ancient and is just black with must, and when you step on it its all sticky like they haven't cleaned it in months. There was a homeless person touching all the plates in which NONE of the staff took the initiative of telling him something. He then proceeded to take my plate of food when they offered a refund. This place is just dirty I don't know what happened in the last 2 months for this was the second time visiting where it's just a pigsty read more

Fast and friendly service. Very cheap for a buffet, and honestly the food isn't bad. Most of the dishes are Asian; fair seafood selection with sushi, sashimi, clams, crawfish, shrimp, crab. Great value for the amount of food you get. There''s also a station for Mongolian beef. read more

More item choices for lunch buffet hours . I've had better food from small takeout buffets

Worst buffet I have ever had. It made my husband and I sick. It was expensive, bland, and just not fresh. I went to eat the crab legs and you could tell that they were frozen and possibly expired. It was salty and there was barely any meat inside. After being disappointed, I basically tried almost everything from their sushi to their soups to their chicken wings and nothing was worth eating. How do you mess up mashed potatoes or maybe it was the gravy that made it bad? Why would you add peanut sauce to chow mein? And to top it off, they have the audacity to have a sign stating if you waste a lot of food you might be charged extra. Well if your food was any good, people wouldn't want to throw it away now would they? The only thing that was worth it was th haagen daaz ice cream. I think for $21 eating anywhere else would be better. read more

Mongolian BBQ was excellent, others foods were warm at best. Great selection, just needs to be hotter.

Unsanitary conditions, staff are unhygienic and the man at the Korean BBQ bar ignored customers for hours... my stomach is still in pain hours later please don't eat here.. Gino's down the road is much better.. it was also overpriced especially for the quality of the food u could eat better somewhere else read more

My sister really likes this location. The variety is pretty good. Price ranges from 15-35 dollars. The best part is the fresh grill. Really liked loading up my own plate for the fresh cook on the grill. I chose to stay away from shrimp or any protiens.I'm a little afraid of the temperature control on the fresh meats. So I avoided. All the cooked buffet food looks really good. And with some soy sauce tastes good. The chips are a bit stale. I did add salt or soy sauce to almost all items. The mashed potato, however, was fantastic!! I enjoyed the self-serve drink station as well. The food was fair. Service seemed friendly. Blanca was incredibly kind and very sweet. Atmosphere is casual cleaned up but out dated. All in all I'll return whenever my sissy wants to. read more

Sakura Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Lancaster, California

The service was OK they came and swept plates. It was pretty packed not a lot of room the food on the other hand the quality definitely not there definitely improving and a lot of things ended up spending $98 for four people. I do not believe I got my moneys worth and I experienced a couple rashes. Not sure if those are related to the food around my body. also, it doesn't look that renovated. It looks pretty old inside not worth it in my opinion. read more

For a buffet, Sakura is great. Wide selection of food items and they're constantly replenishing the items. The Mongolian Wok is a nice addition. Never dissatisfied. read more

My last review was removed only to say the food is horribly rotten and disgusting and the service is a bunch of angry people in masks probably mad with all the food waste that happens there. The smell of fish in the high desert is overwhelming where I just did not want to eat and for the Mongolian bbq the chicken pictured told a story of not being stored at the proper temperature! Where is the health department when you need it. There is an ice-cream soft serve machine that has kids sticking their fingers in it and it is not very appealing to see glad I did not pay I would feel robbed! read more

Sakura Buffet - Chicken for grill at room temperature - Buffets Near Me - Lancaster, California

Was in Lancaster overnight. This place was sketchy sketchy sketchy. Pay up front for 1 was $22.00 included drink. The food was sub par for sure. Many items were nearly empty and stayed that way during visit. Came in approx 7p on a Friday night, was there till at least 9 was killing time catching up on work as traveling. The service: only person that spoke to me was bus boy/gal wanting to take plates. Drink is self serve fountain. So I am still not understanding the reason for price. Ambiance, well this place was sketchy did I mention that. Absolutely would not visit again. Not really sure what is available for good meal in Lancaster, grateful I was passing through. read more

Huge variety of food so everyone should be satisfied. Tea, coffee, sodas and slushies are included which is pretty amazing. Mongolian grill for custom dishes cooked right in front of you. Favorites are the whole garlic shrimp, sesame balls and mussels in the shell. It is a buffet so keep searching and you are bound to find something great. The soups are always delicious. There's sushi and even pizza. Bathrooms are decent, the floor not so much and could be better. read more

Extremely disappointed. We had a reservation scheduled with Skura Restaurant, and they never contacted us to inform us they would be closed. There was zero communication from their end. As a result, over 100 people showed up expecting an event that could not happen. This caused major inconvenience, embarrassment, and disruption that could have been completely avoided with a simple phone call or message. Very unprofessional and unreliable. I would not recommend booking events here. read more

Overall: 3.4/5 Return: Maybe for the pick your own ingredient grill & sweet treats!

Do you like having diarrhea but don't have time to drink a bottle of Ex Lax and wait? Then Sakura Buffet is for you! Went here for lunch yesterday eating just wonton soup and Mongolian BBQ. Little did I know what I was in for an hour later. When I tell you I had diarrhea, I mean I was spraying feces like a jet boat race at Castaic. It cleaned me out so thoroughly, I may suggest that my gastroenterologist prescribe Sakura the day before a colonoscopy rather than the usual laxative cocktail. All this to say, go elsewhere for your Chinese food cravings. I gave two stars only because the staff was friendly and I also thought the number 2 was appropriate... read more

This place is great! Food is delicious and plentiful. If you want to be full for two days in a row, eat here!! read more

I had an interesting experience here at Sakura Buffet. First things first, the Crab Legs were plentiful, but had an aftertaste of cleaning detergent. I saw a worker sneezing at the Siracha sauces, and the drink cups smelled like playground equipment. Besides this, the workers were fast and efficient despite the terrible tasting foods. For $19.99 it was good, but I personally won't come here again. IN: 7:30pm OUT: 8:30pm read more

Sakura Buffet - Buffet ! - Buffets Near Me - Lancaster, California

The wide variety of food in this place is always amazing. Buffet trays are always packed to the brim, hot, and tasty! One of the only food spots I come to when I visit Lancaster due to the abundance of food, and cheap cost for Lunch time read more

As a rule, I don't do buffets. The temptation to overeat eat mass-produced food simply to get your money's worth in the transaction is too high. But... when I visit my mother, she always wants to go to Sakura, and this time she talked me into it. I was pleasantly surprised. They have a LOT of food to choose from, and most of it looks to be pretty well prepared. They had plenty of vegan offerings so I was able to indulge myself way beyond what I should have done. The Mongolian barbecue section was done fairly well and without excess oil, though they could have offered at least one non-meat protein. My biggest complaint about the place is that every single person I interacted with, from the cashier to the person stocking the food and the person clearing our table was sullen at best. Evidently not their dream jobs, you know? read more

I use to go to this place years ago and it was great. Today we were in the area and decided to eat here. The quality of the food has gone down. I have never had sushi that was salty. The salmon was not fresh. There was not much variety. Also noticed the vivid color of the food which means they put too much food coloring. Good was the fried chicken strip, sesame balls, fried plantain and ice cream. My husband tried the area where you pick the ingredients and they cook it for you, he said it was okay but the quality of the meat was not good. Will not be coming back here. read more

The food was pretty good, lots of variety and food pieces. The service was alright the ladies looked pretty overworked so I left them a tip because I felt bad. The ambiance was pretty chill, the restaraunts big. read more

I have always had great experiences here. The food is always fresh, hot, and tasty. The employees are friendly and attentive.

Sakura Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Lancaster, California

Haven't ate at a buffet in a long time. Found this one and it is pretty good. Lots of different foods and options. Awesome

There really isn't anything really bad about this place I have to say so that's why I gave it a 4 star. So a year ago this place was bought out with new owners so there are a few changes. First things first , you cannot beat the price here. I believe it's $15 for lunch and $20 for dinner. Upon paying for yourself and whoever you are with you are just then left to figure it out and find your own table wherever there is one available so don't be waiting for somebody to show you to your table. Drinks/sodas are included in the price along with coffee unlike before you had to pay separately for whatever you were drinking . There is a wide selection of foods here and everything is hot and fresh. They have the Mongolian grill on the side if you want to pick out your beef or chicken and veggies, they will cook them for you, me on the other hand. I'm too impatient and usually hungry. There is a salad Bar with a few good choices,there is also plenty of fruit, melon, cantaloupe, pineapple & grapes so if you prefer to eat light, you can do that here. If you're not eating light, then there is a large array of different dishes to choose from,too many to mention , along with seafood, crab, shrimp, mussels, on the dinner menu. I'm not sure if the lunch menu caters to crab and muscles also!! But I'm sure they have shrimp on the lunch bar regardless. They also have a small sushi bar which I was surprised because it actually was not bad at all considering. The decor of this place could do with a bit of an upgrade It's just very basic,nothing special but I guess that's why the prices are so good. All the seats are intact. There are no tears or broken booths. The desert bar unfortunately Lacks in choice and what is there is not the greatest.What looks like cheesecake isn't. The little miniature Bundt cake was the most decent along with the bite size coconut macaroons,other choices were banana pudding, chocolate pudding Jell-O,cookies& ice cream. So like I said, nothing wrong with this place it has a great selection of food and they can accommodate large parties Decor is basic. There is no service at your table. You just get up and go get what you want once you've paid. We will definitely be back when we fancy a buffet style lunch or dinner again. read more

I like that they have an option to buy food by weight. It's a good option for vegetarians. Overall I wish it had more Vegi options. Also soya sauce is too salty :) and sweets could use improvement. I like the ice cream sticks they have. I am vegetarian so I can't judge the meat and fish read more

Very mediocre place the garlic shrimp used to be good but horrible management needs to fix the issue

Food was ok, but most items were very bland and flavorless. It was very busy, so items were fresh and rotated very well. Decent I suppose,but we definitely will not return. read more

food is not consistent. Manager is not very good on checking the food. Some fesh cooked is mixed with previous cooked food.

Most of the food is always cold and tastes old. Flies have came in and been on the food. I got sick the first time, but sadly I decided to give it another chance and my husband got an upset stomach this time around. Family did not enjoy their food either because a lot of food was cold. read more

The variety of food is awesome and also tasty. They have Fountain and bar ice-cream unlike most buffets.

Good and plenty food, good customer service and the price per person is right, I've been here few times and as soon as I'm out of the hospital I'm coming back!!!! read more

Cashier with glasses, little Hispanic girl working easter Sunday has no guest service, is really rude and almost made my family and I walk out.

But yea retrain that poorl girl, looks like she hates people. read more
