This is our second time at Hokkaido Buffet in Long Beach and the two times we've been here we noticed they actually changed the menu but kept the traditional buffet food items like orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, black pepper beef, coconut shrimp, salmon, prime rib, ham and sushi. Customer service here is excellent. The waiters kept coming around to replenish our drinks and pick up plates that are done. They would ask first if you're done with your plate before picking it up. They also have fresh sushi and a good variety of sushi. They offer 10 kinds of sushi. There's also a section for fruits and vegetables. They have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. The section for dessert is bountiful. Majority of their desserts are on a closed section with clear covers. There are different kinds of pastries, cakes and cookies. They also offer soft serve and ice cream. The food replenishment takes a little bit of time though so you would have to check a couple of times when the newly cooked shrimp or newly grilled salmon is out.

Royal buffet was our go to place until they sadly closed down...but I have many memories here too. Been coming here since I was a kid and it's still the same as it ever was! The food is always good, but they add the tip to your bill now...which I don't like. Also, they make you pay before and not after. Glad this place is still around after so many years.

Not a bad Asian buffet! Also my second time here, we went to San Pedro beach and got really famished and thought about this buffet on our way home. It was 22$ per adult until we saw a sign that as of June 10, it will be 24$. How inflation is going, I'm not surprised. I've been to a lot of buffets and they seem to all be the same, but I really enjoyed this one just the way they set food up and the selection seem really good. I really enjoyed the BBQ RIBS, fried chicken wings, and coconut shrimp (avoiding the actual coconut flakes). The sushi is ok, like any other buffet sushi, but they seem to be much fresher than the other places! They had a chocolate fountain which is nice and tasted pretty good. Unfortunately, their ice cream machine wasn't working well. The only options were chocolate and it was runny.... They had candy on the side which is fun for kids haha Restrooms were pretty clean compared to other buffets, gendered with stalls. Service was decent, they were around when we need them and they cleaned our table pretty often.

I called to make a reservation for a party of 23 for a celebration of life of some sorts, and I gotta say... the first attempt didn't take due to a language barrier. I was left with this unsettling feeling. So, what's a girl to do... ... do a follow up call a few days before the scheduled date to confirm the reservation only to learn I didn't have one at all. "But, no problem. You have one now." My reservations were at noon. They opened at 1130a. We got there around 1100am. They seated us anyway. Once they got all drink orders down, we were left to our own devices, so we all went our own ways to explore what to grub. And what a spread they had! Like an endless line of different kinds of sushi and sashimi, fried and sautéed foods, baked seafood, salads, plenty of kinds of soup, they even had a prime rib and Hanachi grilling station as well as items for kids' palates. Dessert options were also really good. I enjoyed it, but what I enjoyed more is overhearing my party liking/loving what they had. FOOD: 5. Other than the crawfish being too spicy for my taste (that's a personal issue though) everything was great. SERVICE: 4. Very little interaction, but above par. VALUE: 5. You get more for your money. And I love that they have senior citizen discounts and the implemented service charge applied to the bill. PARKING: Private lot. Not an issue if you get here early enough. OVERALL: 4.75. They have a sign that says to pay first. They didn't do this because they have a $9.99/lb snow crab legs promo. (I was surprised no one availed of this in my party!) Much better than all the AYCE buffets near home. Will totally make the drive for another run sometime in the future!

Stopped in for a single lunch buffet on a Friday. Price is now $15.99, so with tax and service fee, the total came out to $19.40 for me. It was relatively crowded on a Friday afternoon so the food turnover wasn't bad...and if you want something really fresh, you can always go to the teppanyaki bar to create your own stir-fry. I knew exactly what I wanted (California Rolls, Baked Salmon, and stir fried clams ) and just filled up on that. Service was good...refilled my water multiple times and always cleared my plate when it was clear I was done. Parking was easy (they have a huge lot dedicated only to them). Hokkaido Seafood Buffet seems to be doing well, and will continue to be my go-to buffet place for a cheap weekday lunch.
