It's a BIG NO from me dogg…read more.. "I hate to do it, just as bad as you hate to see it done, now calm your boys" As a a non-seafoodie, I entered with trepidation...as soon as I stepped in, the stench of seafood hit me in the face, oh no...I had a strong inkling of what was to come. Disclaimer: Had I not been part of a large gathering that was coming here, I doubt I ever would have come to this buffet. Pros: They had the World Cup playing on a "2017 New" 36ish inch TV with the tags still on it The food was mostly hot The cream cheese wontons were delicious, creamy, and crispy Cons: I tried like 11 items, and only the cream cheese wontons were hittin'. Out of the 11 items I tried, only 3-4 items were passable as decent The food was salty The black pepper chicken tasted like fish The food ended up giving my bubble guts the bubble guts-SHEESH! While there were loads of offerings, which I appreciate, the organization of said offerings were a bit strange. The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions. It just wasn't for me.

Came here after Legoland and we made a reservation since this place gets busy. First time here, the…read moreplaza was crowded when it comes to parking. This was a different Korean BBQ experience, very unique because you actually get to choose and grab your own meat, and their salad bar had good selections from spice to non-spice. Also, the perks they serve boba drinks here which was a plus for the kids, small selection, but it had Tapioca which made them happy. The table setting can be a bit tight, chairs close to other tables was my only con. The meat was favorable, the staff members were attentive and the kids loved the fact that they had a variety to choose from. I do like how they have the fans above the grill because it didn't smell as much like a typical Korean BBQ restaurant.

So glad we came here! We were seated right when we entered…read moreand staff were friendly and approachable. Our drink order was taken and we're told we could immediately go pick which protein we wanted to pick. There is a sauce and side dish station along with a self serving of rice and miso soup. I loved the kimchi and radish, it was a great pairing with the meat we ate. There is a variety of protein such as beef, chicken, and sea food. We arrived early around close to 4:50pm and they weren't busy at all. Towards the end they give you free ice cream which tops off your meal. Will definitely be coming back!!!

Surprising! My son was visiting and he seems to always crave GC as he now lives in another state…read more He says they are different. Better where he lives. I guess we'll have to check it out. I wasn't expecting much to begin with, so maybe that's why I am surprised. Price was still a bargain considering the selection of rather tasty food (it was all pretty good); and, the fact that you can do just what I did, have a bite or two of just about everything before you get full. Then, you can go back for more . . . again. And don't forget to grab a plate of desserts so you can taste those too. A rather sketchy customer crowd, but it is a buffet. Please don't forget to leave the table servers a buck or two. They seemed to be putting in a pretty good effort. Dicks

I'm surprised this place is still around! Golden Corrals are franchised, and I'm sure there are…read moreprobably decent ones somewhere else in the country that may be similar to Hometown Buffet. BUT this one ain't it! There were a handful of items that were decently edible like mashed potatoes and gravy. The salad bar was also alright. It's difficult to mess up chopped lettuce mix because it only requires opening a bag or container and pouring the contents into the bin. Fried chicken was fine as long as you are able to get a piece or two. I noticed if you come in later in the evening, the food is not replenished so you are stuck with bottom of the bin caked on dry remnants. Here are the highlights: the server bringing the drinks and busing tables was doing her best to be happy and welcoming. One of the cooks was very courteous and also did her best to anticipate customer needs. They get two thumbs up! Now for the fun part: The clam chowder was too salty and had an aftertaste of old dirty towel, promising a fitting end to my evening with a bad tummy ache. The cook making the steak didn't seem to care about communicating a single word with the customers. Her sole purpose was to repeatedly flip something that looked like meat and point to a bin full of burned protein hockey pucks. I noticed how the line of hungry patrons grew with eager anticipation as she stopped flipping and started attempting to slice. As each diner finally walked away with something on their plate, she was free to disappear in the back to probably make more clam chowder. I watched a couple seated near me with steak on their plate. Husband was breaking a sweat trying to slice a piece while his wife was busy trying to gracefully eject something inedible from her mouth. Now on to the pinnacle of the meal - dessert time. There wasn't much left, so I chose a slice of pecan pie. It looked promising, like something you could pick up at the local grocery store, but that's where any similarity ends. It tasted old and stale, like it was made from expired corn syrup found at the bottom of the moldy basement. The soft serve ice cream machine was screaming like an exit door alarm every time someone pulled the arm to coax out some frozen ice milk. Then I spotted the highlight of the evening. I didn't think it was possible to mess up jello, but heck you learn something new everyday. I captured that masterpiece in a photo. Sadly, the owner of this location really needs to put many improvements in place. People do enjoy going to buffets and truly miss Souplantation and HomeTown Buffet. Golden Corral has the potential to fill this gap. It is in a good location anchored by Target with lots of parking to serve a busy neighborhood in oceanside. It also has a few employees who still care to do a good job. So please take the good location and good staff and make this Golden Corral a worthy business for hungry patrons looking to spend money at a place with quality food and variety.

But it's the first faster Chinese meal that did not make me swell up or like I needed to drink a gallon of water. The orange chicken was crispy, the chow mein not dry and full of flavor. The veggies were so good too! Enough garlic and not dry. Portions are huge for $13 too! Very generous. In addition to the food being good, the girl working was just so nice. She said the food traffic has decreased due to services like DoorDash and such which is a shame because she was so sweet and easy to interact with. We'll be returning soon!

Decided to check this place out for a low-key birthday celebration and it was AWESOME…read more It's a churrascaria-style spot where a variety of protein-skewers (beef, pork and chicken) are brought table side and you pick what you like. There's also a very robust salad bar with a healthy number of offerings (including warm side dishes and soup) to complement the protein options. After we were seated, the meat merry-go-round began. It was just soooooo great. They served delicious cuts of filet mignon, sirloin, flank steak, picanha (my personal favorite), and sausage (chicken was also available but we stayed with the beef and pork). In addition, he served brought pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), french fries, and garlic mashed potatoes to the table as well. Everything was well-seasoned, the salad bar offerings fresh, and skewer offerings hot off the rotisserie/grill. The restaurant itself was really nicely decorated, spacious, and clean. Our waitress was fantastic and all the skewer-servers circulated frequently and were friendly (I've been to place like this where they try to hold out on the proteins - DEFINITELY NOT the case here). Overall, it was an excellent experience. The salad bar was missing a few more traditional Brazilian items but I nothing to cry about. We both ate til we couldn't take it any more and we would DEFINITELY return after we unclog our arteries.

I came to this place with my husband after being out all day. I was pretty hungry so we were happy…read moreto find a decently priced ayce restaurant. I like that this place uses the Yelp waitlist because I put my name down as we were on our way over and arrived just in time. We were seated quickly on a Saturday evening around 6 pm. There are a good amount of tables inside. They also had some TVs showing baseball games around. The service was amazing here. It felt like the waiters and waitresses were constantly eyeing our table to see if we needed anything or were ready to order more. They refilled our water carafe before it was completely empty, changed our grills before we asked, and took away empty plates as soon as we cleared them. I also appreciated that they put salt or something on the ground so it wasn't too slippery. The only complaint I had about the place was that it was really hot but I could see the waitresses were also really hot as they fanned themselves walking around. The food were was actually pretty solid for an ayce restaurant. We got the deluxe plan which is the cheaper option for $30.99. The brisket came with some salt and pepper on it and looked like a better cut than I've seen at other places. We also got some kalbi which came without the bone which is so nice because we didn't have to cut it off and have little meat left over. My husband and I also really liked the marinated steak. I typically like non marinated meat better but the steak was tender and the marinade wasn't too sweet. I used the salt to help cut the sweetness and wrapped it in a lettuce with some radish. I really liked all the meats we tried here. They also have really good sides here that you can't get anymore at a lot of kbbq places like the steamed egg or corn cheese plate. All of the food options were so good and I left very stuffed. I would definitely recommend then kbbq ayce restaurant to anyone in the area!
