Pacific Seafood Buffet

We went for my Son’s birthday, the service was not the best I never got my table cleaned or my drink refill. For the price I honestly can say I really was not impressed. The food was okay, some of which was cold. The only good feedback I can give is the sushi was good other than that save your money and go somewhere that won’t break your pocket book and your taste buds will crave this place was not it.

It was very busy and crowed, which honestly kind of was a good sign. They were under staffed so we constantly were stuck waiting in drinks ect. But the food was very good and seemed to be fresh. Had some unique food that I haven’t seen before at a buffet but it was really good.

Fantastic buffet. It has a very large variety of food, I couldn’t eat everything I wanted to because there was just too much to try. My favorite aspect was all the barbecue dishes (and the tasty fried plantains). Lunch buffet is $ 10 before tax or tip, which is a great price for so much good food, plus the Mongolian grill and sushi bar.

This is another great AYCE sushi buffet with excellent food at an incredible price. It’s such an amazing variety
of culinary eats that it’s worth the visit time and time again. From traditional hot Asian foods to sushi, it’s
delectable at every turn. In fact, it’s so much variety that you’ll be there for hours sampling one dish to another.
I love their dim-​sum and desserts such as the Chinese goodluck red bean buns, the sesame balls, and the
almond sesame cookies.
Oh, and lastly as an honorable mention, the sushi hand rolls are to die for. You have to order at the sushi bar
such as the spicy tuna roll, the avocado crab roll, the yellowtail tuna roll with chopped green onions to enhance
the buttery taste of hamachi (yellowtail) etc… you can order any custom hand roll in any combination to your
hearts content. I will miss this place !!

An unexpected and great find on my travels through Chandler. Great buffet, clean, and great seafood. Cant beat the price either! Definitely a great place to stop for lunch or dinner.

One of the very best places in town. Fill up on crab, crawfish, sushi, it’s like freaking Disneyland inside. Whoever I’m with has to drag me out while I pitch a fit and start crying. Seriously, go there and thank me later. Be sure to tip the sushi guy!

5 words… Do NOT eat here. YUCK… ok a few more words disgusting, gross, and nasty.

We come here every time we are in the area! The sushi is perfect and lots of variety and there is so much authentic Asian dishes that only real Asian kids who grew up with first generation immigrants can appreciate!
They are always busy but are worth it! I’m a sushi slut so I can’t say enough good things about it! Don’t be a jerk and please tip those busy sushi chefs! They are making edible art people!

Although pricey, I think that this is by far the best Chinese buffet in the area. All the other ones are either nasty or super ghetto. It’s much better than it’s sister restaurant that just opened up in Chandler. They usually restock «all the good stuff» like sushi (and it’s actually good!), crayfish, and crab pretty consistently. They also have a Mongolian grill.

The food was quite amazing! But unfortunately the service was not. If you’re looking for a great seafood buffet this is the place! But if you like your drink filled in reasonable manner it is not.

I got really bad diarrhea from this place.
I should’ve read the reviews.
I won’t eat here again.

Always good. Sushi selection is good and the food is always decent. For a buffet it’s easily one of the best in the east valley.

This used to be one of our favorite places to go. We even took out of town guests there and were never disappointed. Until today… We had not been there in a while but on this trip, we found the place dirty, the food with no taste, the food was cold, desserts were dried out and old. We brought this to the attention of the manager only to be told that the food was hot when it left the steaming trays and was cold because we walked though the restaurant and the air conditioning to our table (that was the reason our food was cold). Really… He was also getting a little testy with no offer to make anything right. We told him that we didn’t need to hear anymore.
We will not be back and we found out that the old manager and old chef when the place served wonderful food and a great atmosphere were no longer there and moved to a new site over on Germann and Gilbert Rds in Chandler. That will be our next outing for Chinese buffet. Never again for Pacific Seafood!

Really bad. Service was bad. Food was dry and old. Cockroaches crawling everywhere. Gross.

Amazing selection of sushi. Everything else was standard buffet food but the sushi there is the best buffet sushi I’ve had. I would say it would rival a lot of low quality restaurants.
If I had to, I’d spend all of my money on the sushi there and nothing else. I don’t care about the crab legs or the Mongolian bbq or the other assorted things, the sushi there deserves a lot of respect coming from a buffet.

Just had lunch at Pacific Seafood Buffet in Chandler. Excellent! Very tasty, above average buffet! Great selection. Would recommend more veggies, however.

This seafood place was good, but not the best. The best food out of all they have is their sushi and sashimi. There is also some Chinese food, noodles, wonton soup, crab legs, chicken feet and a dessert table. There are 8 ice cream flavors and you get everything yourself. The food is all asian. The staff was nice and there was lots of room inside, but I would say the food is just good, it’s not great. It’s about $ 17 a person for weekends.

I don’t know what happened to this place but I ate dinner here with some friends and the short ribs seemed so under cooked, sushi bar had flies buzzin’ around it, and the service room for ever to take away the plates that we finished, they need to figure something out because the money’s ain’t worth it anymore. Poor service and disgusting food!

This place used to be good 5 years ago and now it’s gone down hill.
Went there on a week night for dinner and it was pretty slow. A lot of the meat items almost broke my tooth because it’s so hard and old. There was a old guy there obviously related to the ownership because he went in and out of the kitchen and he hawked a nasty loggie into the bus tray right in front of our dining table while we were eating. Are you kidding me? Why he go spit into a napkin or in the restroom. If he doesn’t that in front of us in the dining area, imagine what he will do in the kitchen!!!
We paid $ 43 for two for the nasty disgusting food.

I called for the price and was told 8.95. A bit skeptical due to the low price. I mean, seriously? Ok, so I went on Unilocal to read the reviews. I read through the review and felt pretty comfortable. Although, there was one which talked about a roach and showed a picture. At first, obviously a bit unsettling, but lets face it, where is there a place that has food which does not attract roaches? The question was, is the place disgusting inside or unsanitary? I thought I’d go see for myself.
Place was clean. Temp was good. I only ad the sushi and it was moving off the table pretty fast as there was ample amount of people getting sushi. I think the place is busy enough that their food doesn’t stick around that long to spoil or incur issue. There was a person that mentioned going there at a certain time could affect this temperature issue, I think he mentioned later on. Not sure. But during lunch when I went, everything looked and tasted good. My body feel fine. Service was good and friendly. A very wide selection of stuff to choose from.

NEVER been disappointed, quality is good, food is good, great variety and the ambiance is also good. Some of my favorites are Fresh made Sushi, Fresh Oysters, love their soups, Fresh Crab meat, and Great Scallop shells, …on the down side corn and beef ribs are always over cooked or dried out everything else is good. Deserts are plenty if you still have room. Traditional Chinese dishes are many to choose from, be sure to go there hungry so you can try everything.

I have eaten here many times in the past ten years. This must be a compliment to the buffet that it has endured this long pleasing my palate! Indeed a place that give value, fresh food, many choices and pleasant staff. They continue to offer many many food items, well over 100 choices, many from the sea, with an oriental flair. Most of the time busy, all of the time friendly and of good value. As time has gone by I have developed my own rhythm of food choices so that now I usually know what I am going to eat there. I head to the back and fill a bowl with hot & sour soup. I take a second bowl and FILL it with shrimp, mushrooms, pot-​stickers, calamari, pieces of fish and meat, all scavenged from the many available items on the multiple steam tables. Back at my table I add these items one by one to the soup and feast! Next I go up front to the sushi station and load up on sashami, preferring the slices of salmon and tuna mostly. I ask the sushi chef for a ball of sushi rice that he uses in his rolls and I fill a little cup with pickled ginger and another with wasabi to mix at the table with soy sauce. I skipped over the King crab legs, the snails, the clams, the mussels but did eat a little duck with its crispy skin and a small piece of baked teriyaki salmon. Seconds on some more sashimi, ate at least a couple dozen slices, a bit of kimchi and 5 pieces of various sushi rolls, freshly made. For desert I ate 2 chinese sugar donuts, 3 warm sesame balls and some sesame candy. I went home satisfied and thinking of what my sushi would have cost at a sushi restaurant! Here with my discount I spent less than $ 15. I’ll be back next month.

If you don’t go at the right time. All the food is cold. Any they will tell you its about to be dinner service. And all the workers in the back or on lunch. Bit into a mussel an there was a small crab that almost chipped my tooth. They said it happens all the time. Not in any of my years of going buffets has that happened. They just worried about your money. Not the food or good customer service.

We have tried a bunch of Chinese buffets but this one has been the best we’ve experience!
We will definitely come here again and again.

When the store bought lemon cake is the highlight of your meal you know you just pissed away 20 bucks.
Never again.

We had our dinner last night in pacific seafood buffet. And at some point when we were going to get some food, we found cockroaches on the cakes and cookie sections. when we talked to the manager, they didn’t even bother not charging us for the food. It was disgusting and very disappointing. I also took some pictures of the cockroaches.

We had not been there in years and this was a complete disappointment. Maybe going at 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon wasn’t the best idea, but if you’re a restaurant open for business, do it right. Things on the steam tables which should have been hot were barely above room temperature, The pot stickers were on such a thick pile of lettuce that they actually WERE room temperature as they were too far from the steam underneath, and the fruit was NOT cold, This is not a SAFE or a tasty way to serve food. The only things I felt safe eating is when they just brought out a new tray of freshly prepared food before it had a chance to get cold. Service was also very sketchy — and you know at that hour it’s not because they were busy.
Really the only decent thing I had was the rainbow sherbet and coconut macaroon. Pitiful. We will not be going back.

From SoCal visiting my Dad for Father’s Day. Decent /​Fair Service & Food. It’s very impressive that for a Saturday evening for a party of 6 to be seated nearly immediately and the restaurant was packed. Food was good but nothing memorable to be craved for the future. Service was fair, some of the staff walked around like they hated their jobs which made them unapproachable for assistance, which landed them only 3 stars.

This is mediocre Chinese food at best. Their sushi) I k ow sushi is Japenese) has lettuce and celery in it WTF? Also the bbq stuff looks like it sits out a bit too long. The food itself is less than stellar mostly mushy and bland, whats supposed to be spicy is far from it. Many sauces are watered down also. Some food is pretty cold even though it’s i the heat trays
Wait staff was friendly and attentive but food is sub par. Price was not so great either. Won’t be back any time soon.

I found this place by accident. Pretty decent sushi for a buffet.
The set up has three areas:
1. Sushi Bar
2. Hibachi Grill
3. Chinese buffet
Sushi Bar. Excellent selection of your standard maki rolls. You can ask for a special order, but the two sushi chefs were very busy and I did not bother to ask. The selection of Sashimi was to die for. I added a picture. It was fresh and delightful. The Nigiri was standard, but I did not want to eat to much rice. They did not have any Unagi out, with bummed me out. The spicy crab was excellent.
Hibachi Grill — Great selection of items. I would say, there was more selection than the standard Hibachi Grill, some exotic stuff, calamari, clams, etc…
Chinese Buffet — Standard stuff and more. Honestly it was so big, I did not get to all the items. In fact, I could not identify most of the wierd creatures that were cooked and served up. Crawfish, crab, oysters, shrimp (every variation imaginable).
Like I said, its a huge place and on a Sunday at 3 pm, it was slammed with lots of Asians, eating a lot of very weird stuff. Since it was busy, all the food turned over quickly. The staff is nice and friendly.

First off, pricing as of February 16^th, 2015:
Weekday lunches: $ 9.88 + tax
Weekday dinners: $ 16.88 + tax
Weekends (all day): $ 17.88 + tax
Okay so I kinda ditched this place for a while cause I didn’t think their dinner buffets were all that great for what you’re paying but since it’s President’s Day and I get a Monday off, I decided to check out their weekday lunch buffet.
Honestly, I don’t know if everything seemed better cause of our really nice waitress Lisa, or if it was the significantly cheaper ($ 8 cheaper to be precise) price tag, but I finally see why people rave about this buffet. With the exception of not having any crab legs, you get the same variety and choices at the weekday lunch available to you on the weekends.
There are about 40 – 50 dishes available, the food was fresh, and you can get your usual fix of orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, broccoli beef (admittedly with way more broccoli than beef), some seafood, some Korean barbecue meats, and even some dim sum. I honestly think the quality of the dim sum has improved cause the little custard buns definitely had more custard that I remembered, and the barbecue pork buns (char siew buns) definitely had a lot more meat than on my last visit a few months back. They also have a sushi bar where the sushi is freshly prepared in front of you, but if it’s sushi you want, do yourself a favor and get all-​you-​can-​eat sushi at Mido Sushi cause the sushi at Pacific doesn’t quite cut it.
Now on to desserts. Not impressed. I realize all Chinese buffets have similar desserts but the cakes just don’t do it for me. They don’t look great and taste like a heap of sugar. That said, go for the ice cream right next to the dessert table. They generally have about 8 flavors to choose from, two of which are some sort of sorbet, a chocolate, a strawberry, a vanilla, a mint chocolate chip, a cookies and cream, and a green tea. Green tea was the obvious favorite with there being barely anything left when I hit the ice cream bar at about 1PM today.
In a nutshell: Lunch is great, at $ 9.88 (it rhymes!). The crab legs aren’t worth the extra $ 8 and that’s only available at dinner. Enjoy!

This place is amazing. Went here on a Sunday for lunch. They had several different types of cooked fish, dim sum and buns, different types of calamari, various chicken offerings and a few different types of soups including clam chowder. The miso soup was a bit salty, but it was still good. There was 8 different ice creams, various cakes, and a fruit and salad bar. There are several different types of crab and shrimp dishes and a huge sushi selection. A lot of the rolls were kind of spicy, but they had good nigiri. It was a bit expensive at about $ 20 but in my opinion this is the best buffet in the valley that I’ve been to at least.

4 years later still a solid spot for a lunch buffet.
They raised their prices a bit from the $ 8.95 I remember to around $ 10.50 for lunch but it’s still an incredible value. Where else can you find a great mix of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food all under one roof.
Standouts are
— Wokked Mushrooms
— Maki Handrolls
— BBQ Area
I wouldn’t come here for the $ 18 crab leg dinner free for all but it is a go-​to spot for lunch~

Went for the crab leg special. Had no idea it was $ 17.99 a person!!!’
Wow things have really gone up here. The quality of food from the side items to the fried items all were horrible. I have never seen grapes with seeds in them and watermelon that tastes like rhine.
The bathrooms were not too bad, expect for the light switch that hasn’t been wiped down in 5 years! I could only imagine that back kitchens sanitary practices are like???
We were served by an American gal, she was point on with drinks dirty plates and crab crackers. If no stars existed I would give this place that, but because our service was good one star remains.
