Had lunch here yesterday with a large group of about 25. It's a large buffet restaurant in Fremont. True to its name, it features a lot of dishes from different cuisines and countries. There must be about 9 buffet islands and on the dudes, large sushi counters, grilled items, hot pot---pretty extensive. There's a lot of seafood choices and dessert/fruit selections. Lunch buffet was a reasonably priced $18 pp! Food was good, ok quality sushi nigiri and rolls. But you can feast here until you explode. Service was attentive, especially clearing plates. Plenty of parking outside. The decor is Asian with an indoor koi pond. Not bad for a buffet restaurant. read more

Stopped by the location inside The Globe Mall on Stevenson Blvd in Fremont for dinner and it was a standard all you can eat buffet experience. They have a big spread with lots of Asian staples including sushi, dim sum, seafood, Chinese dishes, and some American options. Good for groups or when you just want volume and variety. Some things were decent like the honey walnut shrimp, steamed oysters when restocked, and a few of the dim sum items. The sushi bar was average for a buffet and the seafood section had some okay picks if you catch them early. A lot of the hot dishes felt pretty average though -- many were sitting out too long, overcooked, or underseasoned. Quality was hit or miss and not as strong as some of the better buffets in the East Bay. They had a sashimi bar which was nice. Service was fine, nothing memorable. The place gets loud and busy during peak dinner hours. Parking at the mall is easy though. Overall it's a decent 3 star buffet for the price if you're craving quantity and variety in Fremont. Not worth a special trip from far away but does the job locally when the mood hits. read more

Come here for tons of food options and friendly service, and you won't be disappointed! Came from San Jose during rush hour traffic and I'm so happy I did. read more

World Gourmet Buffet - Kids Eat Free (3-9) - Buffets Near Me - Fremont, California

I have eaten here about 4 times. I would come here more but I live in Oakland. I don't know why this place has only two stars. It does not deserve 2 stars. No one expects for an all you can eat place to be great. Good is the best you can hope for. As far as ayce places go, this place is really good. There's a lot of variety to those from. My family enjoyed everything we grabbed. I was watching and I'm happy to say we all belonged to the "empty plate club". The place was spotless. The food area, entrance, diningroom and bathroom was very tidy. Our servers were also very attentive and kind. We have no complains. read more

World Gourmet Buffet - Sweet rice with red beans wrapped in banana leaf. Very good dessert - Buffets Near Me - Fremont, California

See all

I attended a funeral reception here. Our group was 125+ people and we had the banquet room towards the front of the restaurant. It's Asian and American food with a lot of seafood dishes, including sushi. They had the Asian staples such as noodles and rice which were good. American type food was ribs, chicken fingers, and I believe I saw hot dogs. There is definitely a variety to choose from, and they also have a stir fry station. Some of my favorites were the dim sum, fried shrimp, and crab type dish in a shell. They have several fruits and desserts. They had my favorite- almond cookies. Also soft serve ice cream! Service in the room was quick with plates being bussed and refilling drinks. The restaurant is decorated nicely with a small water feature and koi fish. Great place for large events. read more

This is one of our go to buffets. We've been here many times. Held receptions here, parties, different birthdays. These are some of my all time favorites: crab legs (ask servers for butter), baked muscles, made to order soba noodles, crispy fried chicken wings, crab rangoons. They also have a good selection of kiddie foods like french fries, pizza and chicken nuggets. There's a sushi bar, a Chinese food bar with the classics, a cold bar with oysters, salads, and different fruits. There's a bar with a variety of desserts and cookies. The servers and front desk staff have always been nice to us. Last time we were there, I left my metal water bottle. When I realized the next morning, I called and the gentleman that answered immediately said he found it and kept it for me until I was able to return the following week since I don't live nearby. So nice of them! read more

It's been quite some time since I've been to World Gourmet Buffet. This last time I went for my niece's graduation party so I technically didn't pay for the meal and funny enough I didn't really eat much which was my loss I guess. But for a variety of food, it's not a bad spot to try. L O C A T I O N World Gourmet Buffet is located on the corner of Stevenson Blvd. and Albrae St. There's a fairly sizeable parking lot but it is shared by other restaurants and shops in the same plaza. We came before the place opened to help with set up so we easily found a parking spot. When we left, it was pretty full but I think that's also because there were other large groups dining here. I N S I D E They had a tables inside for the main dining area and two larger rooms for larger parties: one in the front and the other in the back closer to the food. There were restrooms also inside. F O O D They basically have 5 separate setup areas for food. And they're pretty good about grouping similar items together. They have an area for sushi, mongolian bbq, chinese, desserts, and other items. They also have crab legs and shrimp if you're a person that likes that stuff. I stuck to the sushi and got some fries and chow mein this last time we went. I wish I got a chance to sample more food but I kind of ended up getting caught up in conversations. Anyways, the sushi wasn't bad at all. If you're into California based rolls. They're fairly sizeable too. The fries were crispy and seasoned. I kind of wish I got more. The chow mein was okay. Nothing to rave about. I did get a chocolate vanilla ice cream cone and although it was icy, I did appreciate they had sugar cones to put the ice cream in which was a treat. I also got a cream cheese wonton which was a little too full of cream cheese to my liking but perhaps other people like that it's filled. I wish the filling wasn't just cream cheese but I understand they want to cater to non meat eating folks. I didn't get any other dessert as they're the typical sheet cake items that I've seen at other buffets and they're not great to be honest. They did have fruit also and soups. I just didn't get a chance to eat any of it or even partake in the made to order mongolian bbq. S E R V I C E I felt like there could've been better refilling of water but I understand they were busy. But overall, folks cleared empty plates pretty quickly which was nice. O V E R A L L Not a bad option for asian style buffet and I believe the prices weren't too bad either. It's not as big as other better known buffets but for the price, it's not too shabby. I think we might come back just for the sushi. Definitely try them out! read more

The food are actually getting better. And the boss here is very nice to customer and special care for the young ones. Let them feed the fishes and stuff etc.. read more

Food wise they have a lot of options to choose from! My personal favorite are the sea shells! The crab legs are pretty good but I do wish there was more seasonings. I would say the fried dumplings or potstickers aren't the best but everything else is pretty much fine! It's just like any other buffet. It's around 26 for dinner time so the price is alright I think most buffets charge around that price frame. The buffet itself is pretty and I love seeing the koi fish! read more

We went to a friend's Celebration of Life at World Gourmet Buffet. They have a large parking lot so there are plenty of spaces. The decor is asian with a nice fish pond in the restaurant. The place is spacious, so a good place for large parties, receptions, etc. They offer chilled seafood, sushi, sashimi, dim sum, soups, mostly asian cuisines, fresh fruit, jello, and desserts. A good variety of choices to choose from. Overall, 3.5 stars. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

I got here. The sushi was not fresh. The salmon was hard and dry. The ribs that they had were beef and the pork ribs were nasty Everything was not all up to far like I thought for the price at 2799 a person you would think that it was a taste bitter, but the taste here was not all that great. The clams were good. The crab was OK just was not happy with the food. I asked the person at the front about it and she said we can put fresh food out. Can we open the dinner up at four? We're here at five something and nothing was hot. Second time here I don't remember the first time. I just know it's not good. I do not recommend this place. read more

World Gourmet Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Fremont, California

I've heard lots of people rave about this place, and finally had the chance to try it ~1 month ago. Overall, the food was fine. Nothing spectacular. Watch out for the chow mein. At least on my visit, it tasted off and realized it tasted like cigarettes. This is a base dish and was a bad start to my meal. Chow mein aside, there were no other red flags. I did appreciate the sushi spread. Again, not spectacular, but I came hungry and walked away full. read more

DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS THESE FOOLS DONT KNOW WHAT THEYRE TALKING ABOUT Ok me and my family love this place we keep coming back. There is good variety they got something for everyone and for a buffet the quality is actually really good especially for the price my favorite is the fried foods and sushi and the inside decoration is really beautiful and the crane games got cute plushies in it read more

I've been here twice before and I came here as soon as they opened with my father and brother while visiting in town for a funeral. Everything looked delicious and we couldn't wait to dive in. Out of everything we ate, the only thing that tasted good was the fried spring rolls and the dim sum. The rest of the dishes were either cold or lacked flavor. My least favorite was the sushi bar, especially the deep fried mystery surprise rolls. Other than that, the restaurant was clean and felt inviting. As for service, they could do better. We felt a bit rushed to eat. read more

We came here this past Saturday for my nephew birthday. Place was about half full and they were setting up for two separate parties in the other rooms. Food here is always hit or miss to be honest. This was the first time we came here for lunch, and it wasn't too bad. The past few times we came here dinner it wasn't good at all. Lots of options to choose from and the price is fairly decent as well. read more

Food: **** Service:*** Ambiance: **** My family gatherings always happened here. They love buffet. It satisfies all ages in my family. We come when the restaurant first opens so all the food is freshly prepared. Service is ok. Servers don't put enough ice so we keep asking for ice. We wish there was soda water. We will be back again. read more

Not sure why this place has such bad ratings, it's a buffet so expectations are always low for me haha. I'm just here to get full on a variety of food and I do appreciate that this buffet had some interesting dishes like spicy sole filet and casino scallops (was not a fan, though). The broccoli was SO well cooked, I was very surprised. The sushi was alright, some hard rice on some of the rolls. I had no problem with the quality of the sashimi, it was edible. I came here twice, both for special events, and I had a good time both times. Very convenient. You order your drinks from the servers, I kinda wish you could get your own drinks though. My favorite stuff was the fried stuff, can't go wrong with a chicken wing. Also the ice cream with the cake cone--yum! I also liked that we were in a plaza and near a plaza that had boba if you want to keep the party going. Plenty of parking. read more

Food all looks amazing but the service is something that needs improvement. Even with a reservation, they don't save any tables for you. You are at the mercy of the waiters. They ask how many people are at your party but they will only arrange tables for the number of people who walk in. We need a table for 30, and was only given a table for 14 because at that moment, there were only 14 of us. The rest of our party was parking because we all just left from our church event. I asked if we could save the table next to us, to which they replied "When they get here." Goodness! We're all here. They're just parking!! At almost the end of our meal, they were kicking us out. They sat us late yet they want to kick us out. Horrible. I will not be returning. read more

Pros : You can eat it (food poisoning might apply) The noodle tasted okay It's alway empty so wait time is non existent. Cons : No flavor except for the rice noodle which tasted terrible Beef brocoli tray is 90% broccoli 10% beef that's dried out Unclean oyster Cold fried sushi Teriyaki chicken that's dry and tasted like normal chicken. read more

Tried this place from too good to go and it wasn't bad! We got a huge plate of food that consisted of dumplings, chow mein, sushi, chicken wings, orange chicken, mushrooms, and red bean paste desserts. The food tasted a bit bland and mushy and it what I would be expecting from buffet food but it satisfied my cravings for Chinese food. The red bean paste dessert was my favorite as it was chewy and not too overpowering with the red bean flavor. Overall, this is a decent option as we got a ton of food for $6.99! read more

World Gourmet Buffet - A mix of buffet food - Buffets Near Me - Fremont, California

First time trying Too Good To Go. Don't try this place. This staff was behind the desk was HELLA rude. Did not look up once to acknowledge my of the people behind the desk. All of whom were waiting patiently and quietly. He walked off briskly without acknowledging anyone. I turned the corner thinking maybe, just maybe he doesn't look up much. He made eye contact with me as I attemped to lift my phone to show him the page and rudely waved me away while sharply saying, "I know I know, go back over there" and pointed to the front desk area. He returned to the front desk and ignored everyone there. I've never been here before and would recommend avoiding going here and spending a single penny. read more

World Gourmet Buffet - Very poor customer service, 0/10 - Buffets Near Me - Fremont, California

I love world gourmet. I go here all the time for the sushi, cheese rangoons, hot and sour soup and sio mai. My family and I always go here for family parties because of the service. Granted it's the ambiance is your typical Asian buffet, but it's pretty big. Sometimes I go here for lunch. In this case I went for dinner 40mins before they close. I ate for about 30mins grabbing my usual favorites. When I was about to pay Andy was so sweet. Thank you and happy holidays. read more

First to explain the star rating? Do I think the food is 5-star? Hell no. But when I make a review, I'm reviewing for the category. This is your typical Asian buffet with the spread you'd expect. Everything was hot and fresh. Was it the best of anything? No. Everything was on par for any of the million other places like this and I felt the sushi was specifically a strong point. I had two plates of it. Long story short, 3 stars for the food and 2 more stars for this place being a solid offering for its genre. I came hungry and left happy. read more

They have pretty good selection of food, in particular for sushi. Overall quality is ok (like other Asian buffet). It's quite reasonable for the price. The place is ok clean. I think it has improved a bit. At least their plates were not as sticky as before. Service was good, the waiters were polite and attentive that deserved my big tips. read more

Different dishes different varieties and taste so good. Excellent food choices. Service is okay. Good customer service

-10 stars if possible. I believe it was the owner who was very welcoming I'll give him that he even let us feed the fish before we left for my sister who wasn't hungry. I went out to eat with my in laws tonight for the first time. The food was very cold and hard it's light the hot lamp doesn't keep them warm at all. By the time we finished our food an employee was standing by our table picking his nose like literally digging there. I now have doubts on how sterile the food is that one of my in laws ended up vomiting in disgust. Would not come here again! read more

Food was 10/10!! We went in for Easter with a party of 17 and were seated right away! The service was AMAZING considering how big our party was! Tables dishes and silverware were all very clean. Staff was incredibly welcoming and even allowed our kids to feed the koi fish I truly don't understand why this place only has two stars!!?? Definitely deserves 5! Will definitely be coming back! Also kids eat free every weekday!!! read more

World Gourmet Buffet or Newark Buffet, I would come here because they have a better selection of sushi and has a hibachi grill even though I rarely get it. I should've since the chow mein they had already made was tasteless and hardly have anything in it. The fried rice next to it was dry and flavorless also. They were hot though like most dishes. Next to the hibachi station are some grilled meats like teriyaki chicken/wings, which I didn't know they had since I have gone here several times and never got the hibachi so I didn't seen them. I had 2 plates of hot foods, 1 plate of sushi and 1 plate of dessert. Not bad for $17.99 for lunch and I was stuffed. Service could've been better like refilling water and taking plates faster, they were more into talking to each other. It is not a big deal to me, I'm just here to eat lol, but I tipped 18% anyways. Next time I might just get a to-go box and save a few bucks. read more

I used to come to this buffet a lot as a kid for family parties, so I was super excited to check it out again. Unfortunately, this buffet did not live up to my memories. The food was cold and burnt at the same time, and I was very disappointed by the taste of the seafood. The chow mein was hard as a rock, and I could not finish my plates. I left this buffet still hungry because I could not eat half the food, and for $27 I do not think it was worth it. I did like the honey walnut shrimp and the cream cheese rangoons. The service was very fast and friendly, and the restaurant looked pretty clean inside which is why I am giving them 2 stars. Unfortunately, I would not come back. read more

The food is just so so. Nothing stands out as excellent, but acceptable for the price. I would give the food 2 stars. The atmosphere is good. Place is clean. That would be a 4 stars. Service from servers is quite exceptional. They came around quite often and took my dirty plate as soon as it was set down. This gets a 5 stars. Overall, I would give it a 3.5 stars. And, I would come back here again. read more

It was 2:15 - maybe one table was occupied. Majority of the food was stale and In the hour we were there, no fresh food was brought out. No-one was at the stir fry section. After requesting to have a stir fry cook from our server- who acknowledged but did nothing, i had to approach an employee at the sushi section to ask if he would do a stir fry. My suggestion is to only go there at the height of the lunch or dinner hours so the food will be fresh and the employees will actually earn their tips. read more

September special 50% off! It's a good a buffer Just went to World Gourmet last night and it was amazing! The food selection was huge, super fresh, and the atmosphere was so fun.

We went to this restaurant as part of a large family gathering. To say we weee disappointed would be an understatement. Food was flavorless - salt and pepper on the table were clogged so couldn't even season with what was there. I ordered a soda, received the drink and never saw the waitress again. The desserts were good and the restroom was reasonably clean. I doubt we will be back. read more
