No.1 Asia Buffet — Restaurant in Rialto

It may be a buffet, but they need to definitely change the name. ASIA has nothing to do with the food here at all. This place used to be a real Chinese (Asian) restaurant with real Asians cooking, serving & running the whole place. Now idk whats up. There's plenty of food TRYING (sort of) to be Asian-ish. You will either get full if you don't get sick first. It's not really dirty, but it's not clean. It's just not like it used to be. The first time I went to get food at the buffet part, I had to go thru 4 plates before I reached a clean one. No condiments (soy sauce, hot mustard, etc), just dry bowls where the sauces were supposed to be. Ice cream was not in a freezer. Just in those big round things like u used to see at Baskin Robbins or Thrifty drug store. Those big round things they would dip the scoop in to make your ice cream cone. Anyway, they had 2 of those. Not even a legit ice cream soft serve machine. U had to use some type of scoop that was sitting in a sink in a bowl of water that had melted ice cream in it & probably a few bacteria as well since I'm sure it all was room temperature. I was not tempted to risk my health on room temperature ice cream. The food looked good but did not taste like anything. No flavor. Some of it (chicken dishes) had the smell of being borderline rancid. I could not finish my 1 plate. I waited for my 2 friends (both big guys to finish. One got sick, so we left, thankfully! The pics are some of what my friends tried to eat. I accidentally deleted the other pics. They both had 3 plates of EVERYTHING. One got sick & ran to the restroom. The other stopped eating cause we had a long ride home & I have a new car & threatened to leave him on the side of the road if he got sick, lol. I don't think I've ever left a bad review. But this review should actually be worse... Seriously. I was hungry, but there were too many red flags. Oh & my friend that got sick, he told me the next day that he spent most of the nite in the bathroom when he got home & pepto bismol didn't even work. He had all of the seafood. He actually tried it ALL. So, no telling which dish or maybe multiple foods did it. My other friend got scared & didn't finish his 3 plates. I didn't like anything I got. Rice, vegetables, some type of Asian chicken stuff & an egg roll. I had water. They had sodas. The guy picking up the dirty plates didn'tt speak at all, but he kept the table clean. They dont offer refills or napkins or even a hello. Ok, don't believe me & try it. It was only $53 or close to that price for 3 of us. I know it wasn't $60. I tipped the...

For a buffet place, this is my go to place! It has a great offering of variety of food that would please pretty much everyone in the family and is kind to your pocketbook! Where can you find a buffet that includes oven baked garlic peppered crab, oven baked salt peppered jumbo shrimps, deep fried fish (Sorry I'm not an expert on fish so I can't tell you what it is), steamed sole fish with ginger and soy sauce, teriyaki chicken, spinach quiche, sushi, salad bar, chow mien, fried rice, beef broccoli, baked oyster, hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, clam chowder, wonton soup, fresh fruits, pastries, frozen yogurts, and much more...these are just some of the selections available...there's more... you will just have to go see for yourself. Dinner is priced at $8.99 and lunch $6.99 as of this review. I believe on Tuesdays there's senior citizens discount and it's $5.99 all day! At these prices, I think it's a bargain to find such quality food at these prices nowadays. I believe that the concept for profit for the owner of this restaurant is volume, great quality, customers satisfaction and loyalty and word of mouth referrals instead of the traditional than concept of charging high prices and not having as many customers. In this scenario, it's a win win situation for all! In addition, the customers also benefit by receiving freshly prepared food all the time because of the high turn around of requiring replenishing! ... hahaha, this also avoids you from getting food poisoning, which I have experienced in some restaurant as I have...lol... the setting of this restaurant is casual so there's no need to dress up. By the way, the shrimps and crabs are not served until after 4pm since they are considered as included in the dinner buffet. They do have another restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga off Baseline. It's a smaller restaurant and I feel it doesn't offer as many choices, and I believe it's a dollar more. They are both equally great in taste. Still at these prices and what is offered, I think you will enjoy yourselves! My favorites are the crab and...

Me and my family haven’t been here in some time so we figured we come down here for lunch…never again first of all they really didn’t have no food options really, they had some sea food with corn and like onion in it, then I seen they had some catfish that was dried out. I seen also some noodles that looked dry and flavorless A lot of the food was either dried out, barely had any food in them or was empty. I assumed that this place would have wontons since a lot of Chinese places I had went too had some there but I was surprised to see that they didn’t have any at all or even put any out (I’m assuming they don’t have that as a food option there) the wings they also have as a food option those were the only one out of two foods that was pretty decent ( I had some of their teriyaki chicken too on my plate and that was decent as well) my family had some of the noodles, their beef & Broccoli, sushi and catfish and they said that the food tasted dry and was just overall nasty for them personally. Dessert wise the only good thing I will say is that they have real ice cream 🍦 and Fortune cookies 🥠 unlike the other Chinese places I had been too. They have the same generic dessert items that any other Chinese place will have but the real ice cream and fortune cookies is what makes this Chinese place special from others. ALSO CHECK INSIDE OF THE CUPS THAT THEY GIVE YOU! Because I didn’t even notice that there was a piece of food stuck at the bottom INSIDE of my cup until after I was done drinking my soda completely it was hidden under the ice in my cup and the cups they have are dark blue so I wouldn’t had even seen it if I haven’t looked inside of my cup. Overall me and my family were very disappointed. this place is a no for me...
