I’m usually down with buffets but not this place. First off this place claimed to be chinese and asian buffet. They had the space and a bunch of warmers for a variety of food yet there wasn’t much to choose from. They have mayo walnut shrimp that I’d give a 1/5, it’s like soggy-ville with that. I’ve had bomb canto may walnut shrimp before so sorry there’s definitely doesn’t cut it. The food isn’t great what so ever to me thats why I don’t plan on returning. Then a few months later I see that they plan on serving filipino food, I’ve heard that people showed up for some yet they didn’t have any. So now they’ve stepped up their game and made a specific day to which they will be serving filipino food. Service isn’t that great. We’ve come there for a very large reserved party and they tried to over charge us on head count, because they did not have a realistic way on counting their guest. Don’t really recommend this place to anyone. But you’re more than welcome to try whatever you like. Prepare yourself for food that isn’t that great.

Per Emily S this restaurant has reopened… with a decidedly Filipino theme(per ‘rl’).

My very large family reserved the side room for my dear uncle’s birthday party. He’s like 800 years old. A very wise old man. He hums every tune and knows every question to every Jeopardy answer. This location is a bad luck address. I have never known a business to ever successfully ‘make’ it here. Wasn’t there a country/western bar or something that lasted for a few years? Maybe that should make a comeback. Back to Buffet Paradise. More like, ‘Barf-fay Parasite’. Ummm… sorry. NOT good. Over cooked vegetables, beyond greasy fried food under warmers(and I love fried food). Their watermelon was the best thing they had going for themselves. The ‘sushi’ was just okay. For a person that hasn’t eaten in 17 years. They kept my ice water filled. And the dishes were clean. Result = 1 star. They should consider themselves lucky. Unilocal doesn’t offer ZERO stars

It was a pleasant surprise that for the variety of Filipino food that were offered at Buffet Paradise, the price was reasonably inexpensive compared to the other buffet establishments in town. I was greeted by a friendly staff who accommodated my special«needs» .Taking my 4 year old son on a dining experience is a challenge by itself and yet the friendly staff anticipated my every need from start to finish. It was a «family friendly» restaurant that made me feel at ease and a true reflection of the Filipino hospitality at best! Rest assured I will be back for more!!! :-)

Filipino food — in«all you can eat»? You can’t get anything better than this. Buffet paradise offers a wide variety of food choices(Filipino, Chinese and Sushi). The food taste great! The flavors are just right. The service is excellent. The price is affordable too. Nothing can beat this! I would highly recommend this to the Chinese food, Filipino food and sushi lovers! For Banquets and Special occasions… Buffet Paradise is the place to be!

buffet paradise… it was NEITHER a buffet, nor a paradise… my sweetie and i ate here for lunch this past week on weds, where they advertise Filipino cuisine on this day of the week. myself being Filipino and not ever wanting to spend $$ on Filipino food(when i can instead go home and get it for free), i already had trepidations coming here. for lunch, our total for two buffets and two beverages was under 20 $. i wouldn’t have paid a bowl of piss for the shit they served here. the«buffet» consisted of their desert aisle, and 2 and ¼ stations of food… the rear station and the front island were devoid of any food. i mean, cmon… i know our Filipino cuisine consists more than a pot of rice, 2 different versions of putrid looking mungo soup, dried out lichon and poorly done versions of adobo and machado! the food here was pitifully nasty. my sweetie at first opted for a salad, passed on the dressing after noticing how old it looked(how do you fuck up salad dressing?!). i had some of the lichon; it was dry like tree bark and unpalatable. the steamed mussels were like bf goodrich… how old were they, i wondered? i tried the pancit and other meat dishes(machado? adobo?) with no luck in pleasing my palate. all dry, all old food, none of it prepared to capture the joy and warmth we Filipinos traditionally celebrate and put into our food and gatherings. FUCKYOU buffet paradise, for being an insult to Filipinos and Filipino cuisine, and overpricing your so-called joke of a buffet. if you are in search of good Filipino food, DONOTCOMEHERE. seek out a Filipino friend, and have dinner with them instead. the company will be better, and so will the food. minus four stars for everything.

I would not go back again. I think I’m just spoiled with Best Lumpia.

I just HAD to make a Unilocal account because of my bad experience at this restaurant! My family threw a lunch gathering after my grandpa’s funeral as our way to thank our family and friends for their love and support during that difficult time. There was a lot of us and each of our party guests were handed raffle tickets to keep track of our party as we entered the restaurant. The service was poor. They ran out of food, FAST and it took them a long while to refill the trays, or they didn’t even bother to refill them at all! People just stood there waiting for more food, which never came! When we were ready to pay the owners tried to charge us for 250+ people when that wasn’t the case at all! We didn’t have close to 250 people in our party! They tried to charge us for random people because apparently they handed out the raffle tickets to people who were not part of our party! The owners were very unorganized and did not plan ahead. They then had the nerve to argue with us, their customer! One of the owners, the husband stepped up to my cousin as if he was going to hurt him in front of the restaurant with other customers watching! What kind of business are these people running?! They have no respect for their customers and no knowledge as to how to operate a restaurant! What kind of restaurant doesn’t serve food to their customers?! And their waitresses are girls who are about 13 – 15 years old! These people are stupid idiots who have no common sense whatsoever! I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone! I predict they will go out of business as well! Especially after my Unilocal review! The sooner the better!!!

This location has had a lot of names and business and no one seems to last we decided to try it out for lunch was a little uneasy that only had about 4 cars but we were already there so we said what the heck. Let me start by saying I loved the service as soon as we entered we were rushed to a seat and drinks were served immediatly, The food was ok nothing to great but the service made up for it– They have a great Fresh fruit bar for dessert with a small variety of cookies and our server also asked if we would like ice cream. Lunch was 7.99 per person plus drinks. As we left the hostess handed us little baskets. «A gift» she said. very sweet!
