| - This is one of the better Asian buffets in the area and also the only one my family goes to repeatedly. Even my husband, who usually hates buffets of any kind, likes this one. They have a good variety of foods, including a sushi section (sushi is decent for a buffet, but not super great), a Mongolian grill area where you pick your raw foods and hand them off to be cooked for you, and the normal hot foods/salad/dessert buffet section. They seem to keep a good eye on the food and will refresh or refill dishes regularly. At certain times, (I think during weekend dinner time, not sure if they have it on weekdays) they have crab legs. Even my picky kids can eat fries and chicken nuggets (the sweet and sour chicken minus the sauce) if they don't want anything else. The restaurant is kept pretty tidy, and the staff are friendly and usually quick to clear plates and bring drink refills when you need them.
I do have to give a major thumbs down to the ladies bathroom because once they were completely out of hand soap (gross!, but luckily I carry antibacterial wipes and gel) I'm convinced it was just a short temporary outage, since I saw one of the counter ladies walk in there after me, but their bathroom definitely needs to be checked on more often. Another time the hand soap was just out in a messy giant 2-gallon container that I had to lift and tip out on my hand to dispense for me and my kids. It would be nice (not to mention an easy fix) if they just replaced the wall-mounted dispensers or just got little hand-soap pump-bottles at a grocery store for less than $2.
(***Seriously, Pacific Seafood Buffet, if you're reading this, just drop the 2 bucks on a freakin' soap pump!!! And please police the bathroom more often, especially during busy times! Thank you and good day. PS - Your food is yummy.)
I would have rated it 3.5 stars because of the bathroom, but since I think the soap outage was temporary, and the food and service are so good, it's bumped up to 4.
One more thing, you can get the buffet to-go, but you will pay way too much for it. They will weigh your food and charge a per pound price. It costs extra if you choose to get takeout from the sushi section or the special seafood selection (i.e. crab legs and other specialty seafood dishes). If you choose to only get takeout from the regular hot foods section you will be charged less. They will tell you all of this up front when you ask for takeout, so it's not like they are trying to swindle you or anything. Just know that you will get the best value if you only go here to eat in.
