Asia Buffet — Restaurant in Los Angeles

$17 dinner, not bad. I was here on a Sunday which is all day dinner. Can't say how much and other meals are on other days. It's an Asian Buffet. There is sushi, orange chicken, Korean BBQ, fried rice, tepan yaki (fried noodles with your choice ingredients while you wait, a tip for the cook is considerate), and so on. If you've had a combo plate at some "point at it behind the glass" Chinese restaurant, then you've had this food. Nothing too exciting, but you can get as full as you wish. I only go when I have a big appetite. I always plan to get my money's worth, and I usually do. My personal choice is sushi, beef ribs, Chow main and salad. My diet excludes shell fish, so about half of the buffet is off limits. Oh yeah, if your like seafood, like crab legs, muscles, oysters and the such, you might like this place. Popular choices among the other diners. There are American choices the kids might like. Pizza, nuggets and french fries. Nice place for big groups. A large dining room. Clean bathroom. Food is constantly stocked. Bussing the dishes can be slow, but it WAS busy when I was there. Waters are nice, but not really needed much, mostly the drinks and being seated. Drinks are extra. I chose a free glass water. The dessert table looked tasty, but I was strong enough to pass it by, it was hard. Parking can be frustrating. Arm yourself with patience. Nice size lot, but shared with other businesses. I think the address is on Van Nuys Blvd, but the entrance and lot is in the back. Use the driveway from Roscoe or the small street South of it and parallel. Titus? I think... to get to the...

I used to eat here frequently but stopped in 2020 due to COVID-19, with indoor Dining available again, I took a chance and went there to see how they doing it.

Every other table was marked off and they were careful with seating customers far apart, mask are required at all times except when eating, they provide disposable gloves customers are required to wear while getting food, the selection of food, and desserts are cut back but are still a wide selection, I miss the soft serve ice cream

the fruits and dessert pastries were cut about half to what they were pre-Pandemic but still plentiful

They limit each party's dining time to 1 hour

All the workers wore mask and gloves, they were all friendly and professional. They cleared off my used plates and refilled my water promptly.

The prices remained the same

Update on 2021/10/27: The food selection is back to normal

I took pictures of the...

Since their reopening, I have gone here about three times. Before they renovated, the customer service was decent and I had no complaints. Now they have hired a bunch of staff to accomodate the restaurant that is now bigger than before. Each of the three times I have gone, the customer service has been AWFUL!!!!! Most of the staff walk around and ignore you. The hosts and hostesses that seat you dont pay attention to you and are extremely RUDE!!! They all have an attitude and walk around like they hate their jobs. When my mom went to serve herself, one of them snatched the tongs from my mom and walked away. The food itself is okay and, but I usually go for the shrimp and crab legs. The basic chow mein and fried rice tasted bad all three times and was not authentic. There was one nice person there, he was a younger guy with glasses he was polite and didbt just snatch our cups off the table to refill them, he asked nicely, and brought us a high chair for my son. I don't recommend this place for anyone looking for something special or to have a good time. The reason I go here is just to grab a cheap meal to fill up on when I'm on a budget or treating a...
