Hidden Gem Buffet in City of Industry! Hot Pot + Sushi + Seafood Feast

📍 Umi Hotpot Sushi & Seafood Buffet 18061 Gale Ave, City of Industry, CA Visited this spot on a weekend after a friend’s strong recommendation — and I was totally blown away! This isn’t just your average buffet — it’s hot pot + seafood + sushi + Chinese hot dishes + desserts ALL in one! 🦞 Seafood Station Crab legs, mussels, shrimp, scallops, salmon sashimi — everything’s super fresh, neatly laid out on ice, with no fishy smell. Take as much as you want — no rush needed. 🍲 Hot Pot Station Choose your own broth — I went with spicy mala + bone soup (individual pots are super convenient!). Thinly sliced meats with nice marbling, plus shrimp paste, tripe, tofu skin… ingredients were way better than expected. 🍣 Sushi Station Crazy variety — rolls, sashimi, nigiri, all made fresh. The rice was perfectly seasoned and held together well. 🍰 Dessert Station I planned to skip it… but it smelled too good 😭 Tiramisu, cakes, ice cream, pudding — actually well-made, not cheap filler desserts. 💰 Price: Around $35 for lunch, $45 for dinner (including tax), slightly higher on weekends but totally worth it. They restock frequently and clear plates quickly. ⚠️ Tips: Evenings get super busy — reserve ahead if you can. Lobster has a line — go early if you want it. Avoid wasting — leftover charges may apply if you take too much. 🌟 Final take: This place is foodie heaven — hot pot, sushi, and seafood all in one meal, and you definitely get your money’s worth! It’s also great for photos, not too noisy, and perfect for hanging out with friends or a casual date. #LAfood #SeafoodBuffet #UmiBuffet #CityOfIndustryEats #SushiLovers 🍱🔥
