🇺🇸 Hawaiian Gardens, CAㅣEast Buffet It was my first time in Hawaiian Gardens and it happened to be around noon so my husband searched a bit and we decided to go try East Buffet. There were quite a lot of people at noon on Friday. The receptionist was a middle-aged uncle who kindly greeted us and led us to our seats where was literally 2 steps away from aisle to get food. Price: Very reasonable price. An adult is $16.99 for lunch (11 am to 3:30 pm) from Monday to Friday, $21.99 for dinner (3:30 pm to 9 pm), and $22.99 for weekends and holidays. Ambiance: There were plenty of seats, and dining environment was very clean. However, the lighting was a bit dim and interior was old-fashioned. Food: Side dish, sashimi area, meat, vegetables, seafood, soup, desserts, fruits (it had cherries!), ice creams, and a separated teppanyaki area. The most part impressed me was the size of fried shrimps was big and fresh and the Chinese hot and sour soup contained a lot of mushrooms. Sushi tasted fresh, too. Service: The waitresses cleaned the table diligently and few can speak Mandarin. There are 2-hour limitation for enjoying the buffet. I would say overall it was worth the money. 📍12100 East Carson St, Ste A, Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716 (Hawaii Garden Town Center)

What a wonderful experience here at East Buffet. The hospitality was outstanding and excellent. Greeted upon entering and was seated right away. Staff was professional and courteous. Let's dive right into the food selections. I must say, quite an option and a couple of new items since the last time I've visited. The food was delicious and available for serving. Definitely recommend this location due to their amazing customer service and deliciousness.

My family and I frequent this OG buffet spot in Hawaiian Gardens for special occasions. On a typical weekend at lunch, folks can be immediately seated. As you get seated, the waitress would ask everyone for their drink preference and they will bring it to your table. East Buffet has an extensive selection of stir fried Chinese dishes. I believe it varies per day, yet my taste buds were rarely disappointed. I really like the chewy texture and savory flavor of their kalbi (beef short ribs). I am a huge fan of their steamed taro buns because it serves as a neutralizer for the items I ate that day. Their sushi selection is okay, as their California Rolls are too mushy for my liking. Last but never the least, I am impressed that they carry Thrifty Ice Cream at their Ice Cream bar. I opted for the Cotton Candy and Butter Pecan flavors. You can't go wrong with your Chinese favorites and Thirty Ice Cream at an OG East Buffet!

We wanted to come back to this place as it has been a while since we last came. This buffet’s menu has always been delectable and delicious. We were seated right away for an early dinner. Service is always top notch and the ambiance is great! Good for group dinners or just a regular family night dinner. They offer senior discounts for age 65 and over. This restaurant has been a regular for locals and visitors alike. We were glad to have come back to savor the deletable hot dishes. Price is $24.99 for dinner and really affordable and hoping that they do not increase their pricing. Kudos to the owner for maintaining the same quality from the start of their opening!
