I'm a huge Chinese buffet fan. Pacific Seafood Buffet runs somewhere in the middle of the pack. Here's why:
The sushi is probably the best part of the whole buffet. It seems to be always fresh and I always see someone behind the counter prepping more. I've never been disappointed at this station. 8 out of 10
The rest of the buffet is hit and miss. IF the food is fresh (and they have it prepared out), it's OK at best. Some dishes are over-seasoned (too salty for my taste). I tend to judge by the Orange Chicken. Ususally, it's a hot selling dish and has to be prepared more often because it's constantly selling out. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it about a 6,
They also have a Mongolian Grill (again one of my favorite things normally) but it's kinda blah here. Not enough seasoning choices for my tastes. 3 out of 10 stars for the grill.
Deserts I could care less about. I don't go to a Chinese buffet for their desert cart. If they have a little something to nibble on afterwards, fine. If not, I'm OK with that too. I really don't look for it.
Service here is hit and miss too. After the hostess seats you, you have to wait for the server to order your drinks. Sometimes this can take a while. Also clearing of the table and refills (and getting your check) could take a bit too. I'll give the service 5 out of 10 stars.
The place is also WAAAAY overpriced! $18 for dinner?? I really don't care about price usually as long as the food and service is good. Sorry guys but for that price this place has got to be much better for me to return.
I've been here a number of times. I just don't go 1 time and write a review. The food and service has gotten steadily worse with each visit. I'm not returning anytime soon.
