The buffets pretty good. Huge spot too. SO you won't be pressed against others eating. You seat yourself and have a choice between a table or booth. Great choice if you're hungry and want to save a little money. Think it was $34 for 2 of us round lunch time. First thing we noticed was the restaurant had a pretty potent fish smell. Usually that's not a good sign. So we sorta stayed away from the really fishy dishes. And the things we took a chance on, it was out of fun and jus to stop being so paranoid. We grabbed about 3 plates packed of different items, then one dessert plate of mixed items we had to try. You pay before you eat. For the most part, each dish had a "what you pay for" quality. Some were off in texture. Some were "different" in taste. The orange chicken, the teriyaki chicken and this asparagus cream chicken dish were the best. The fried rice was good but the chow mein was mushy. The egg rolls were super salty n boring. The pizza is sorta sugary and the desserts were basic like most Asian buffets. The sushi, funny to say, was actually pretty bomb. In the end, we never got sick after but you'll notice the fish smell I'm sure. Another thing we noticed was the Asian man who had no patience n cant help but clear tables on the spot. We got up to get a 2nd plate, left our drinks and some food we wanted to finish and it was all gone before we came back. Nice guy but relax bud haha! And the front desk lady had no patience with our struggle to get the "tap pay" to work. Rude and short with a friendly smile is still rude. Then the drink location was kinda confusing. Its in a half storage area off to the side. Wasn't sure if our deal came with a drink but we grabbed a drink and went back there for 3 refills and never was approached for excessive food or drinks. There were signs around asking us to only serve what you can eat. We gathered about a plate of things we didn't like to throw away and wasn't charged extra. Try not to abuse it though. As we were walking out, noticed they have a small key chain, gift idea at the front desk for purchase. All in all was a good experience. Left full as f/buck. Not sure we'd choose that particular buffet again but might be your new...
Read moreDecent food. The chicken wings are really good and I highly recommend them. Other dishes are solid but no others were exceptional in my mind. Sushi is a little lacking with most rolls not having real fish.
. I just went there and got 3 Togo plates to bring home to the famly. Pricing is listed as 6.99 for dinner, 11.99 for steak and sushi, and 9.99 if it is more than 30% sushi. Togo box's are standard 3 tray plates. We filled the plates and put sushi in one tray. So the sushi portion is 25% at best. We got two plates of meat/ sushi and one full plate of rice and noodles. So counting for the rice and noodle plates the sushi percentage is even less. I went up to pay and they charged us 8.99 a pound for the two meat plates. When I asked they noted because there was some sushi in the box. I pointed to the sign that noted the box was 9.99 per a lb when it was over 30% sushi but there was no note of a varying price if there was some sushi.
I pointed out several times that the price was not advertised but the front desk person refused to let up. I was picking up the food for a famly dinner so I didn't have any choice but unfortunately this has soured my perspective of the resturant. We normally went here at least one time a month but we will no longer be visiting. I wish Fasia good luck with their business but I worry about their future with the underhanded practices...
Read moreExcellent, excellent selections everywhere to be found. Full salad bar, spicy squid salad, fresh boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce, Jello and pudding and fresh fruit on the cold bar.
All kinds of sushi rolls regular sushi, I had octopus, shrimp, eel, and tuna. They also had Mongolian Barbecue which I did not try and on their hot table chicken teriyaki chicken mushroom, chicken chow mein, steamed clams, salty fried squid, salty fried prawns, crab clusters, Pizza, desserts, and almost anything else you could ask for.
Bottomless soft drinks $1.89 and the dessert bar that I didn't even bother to take a look at.
This is my first time here in Escondido doing a job and found this buffet for dinner and as many buffets and as much Chinese food as I have eaten in the state of California this ranks among the top three. The trays are on the hot bars and on the cold bars we're always full you were never meant to feel like they didn't want you to take what you're able to eat and the place is packed to where there was a wait outside. I highly recommend this wonderful...
