    Family style dinner

    We had a great dinner! Food was delicious Thank you for the fast and excellent service. The ambiance was inviting and enjoyed watching the soccer game! Thank you Milton for your welcoming ambiance.

    I remember when most Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants would have a weekday buffet, and I would 'drag' my co-workers to it (when we wanted variety from our typical AYCE Chinese buffets). Those lunches are all gone now, so when I got the itch of nostalgia, this Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Carson was our destination for a Tuesday lunch. It was very satisfying. My wife and I invited our friend/neighbor to come with us and arrived around 11:20. There was still parking in the strip mall parking lot, but can see how those spots would fill up quickly. Upon entering, there is a line where you order and pay (The buffet runs from 11 AM to 2 PM daily, costing $14.99 for adults [$1.50 senior discount, plus $1 on weekends]). Got our customary water cups, which can be filled from a nice water container near the utensils (there is also a self-serve soda machine). A plate for pizza and a plate for salad is given to each diner, and the obligatory sign stating that a clean plate is needed for every trip was visible. The set-up isn't easy to get a new plate, since the only way to talk to a counter person is to fit into the same line that people are waiting to enter. I was pleasantly surprised when someone walked around giving out fresh plates as old ones were bussed. There were a choice of up to five different pizzas, and it tasted OK (reminded me of Chuck E Cheese pizza) with plenty of cheese and toppings. If you get lucky and get a fresh one, it would probably taste a bit better. But I was impressed with the amount of toppings. I also tried the spaghetti with sausage marinara (OK for a one-time try), and enjoyed the sweet corn, and really good mashed potatoes with gravy. The other main dish was chicken (both baked and fried, about as good as what you can get from a grocery deli, which is pretty decent, a skippable rice pilaf, and cocktail meatballs (which I know I should skip, but can't resist since they almost always taste good). Their famous Mojo potatoes weren't as good as I thought it would be. What I was really impressed was the salad bar. It had more choices with fresh(er) ingredients than either of the last two salad bars I remember (at Golden Corral and on various cruise ships). This is what I returned for seconds, and would be a good choice for non-pizza fans (though strangely, there is no salad bar only option on the menu).

    It was 9:51

    Worst experience I got here 15 min before they closed and they said is was fine to order . Had me waiting over 1 hour for chicken. Just to find out they did it on purpose. They could have just let me know it was too late to be serve. After waiting a hour they gave me a refund because the fryer was not working. Ps what really funny is how shakeys pizza parlor only replies to good review and doesn't try to fit the issues.

    Dined in. Missed the red onions in the salad bar area. Ordered a small pizza with chorizo, jalapeños, red onions and pepperoni. Also ordered the salad bar and a pint of Stella Artois. Food was delicious. Everything was clean. Service was great. Lots of parking.

    Great Food and service my time spent there was amazing employees where very nice Mmmmmmm

I yelped around some places and found a Chinese buffet. Buffets are good cause everybody gets to choose what they want and there's enough choices to keep everybody happy. Heck, these Chinese buffets even have American food like ribs, pizza and French fries. This place, China Buffet, not the most imaginative name, is pretty decent sized and seems to have a lot more choices than the small town buffets I've seen. More of the more authentic Chineasy stuff that I have no idea what it is, but there's plenty of choices of familiar stuff to keep us all fed, like hot and sour soup, all kinds of noodles and egg rolls and ribs and veggies. Service was the normal Asian buffet service, not friendly, just efficient at filling drinks and clearing the plates.

I was hungry and hoped to find something good at the Mitsuwa Food Court, but got annoyed at the exorbitant prices, so I decided to check out local buffets for affordable Asian food and stumbled upon China Buffet on Yelp. The decor and ambiance was comfortably warm, pleasant and welcoming with the carpeted dining area and nice wall art. Service was just as warm and friendly. I loved a wide selection of food to sample. The seafood dishes weren't as tasty as the dishes at my favorite seafood buffet in Murrieta, CA, but it was satisfactory. The had freshly grilled chicken, meat, fish, and calamari in the back. Dinner price for AYCE was a mere $24.99 on a Friday and $2.35 for a soda w/ free refills. Can't go wrong with so many options to sample and choose from. Highly recommend!

The price is right at $20 for dinner and $10 for young elementary school aged children. I recommend the dinner menu because for a few dollars more than lunch, they add crab, beef ribs and black pepper steak cubes which are my favorite 3 higher end quality entrees that if anyone were to go to a standard restaurant, they'd pay a lot more for access to those courses.

I debate with friends of China Buffet vs Ichiban Buffet vs a#1 Buffet and which is best... I've continually told them My ranking is #1 Buffet at the top, followed by Ichiban, then China Buffet dipped as the lesser of the 3 ever since they stopped offering roast duck and snow crab legs (which had been over a decade ago) at their buffet. So, #1 Buffet has earned my favorite status based on price, selection and quality but factoring in parking and location too.

I like that they have papaya in the fresh fruit section. Add that to my ice cream then top with chopped peanuts for a delicious dessert. Chinese music playing in the background along with the outdated interior makes me a bit nostalgic.
