The Luxe Buffet - Seafood & Grill - Ontario (CA)

5 /5 Lord-king-leader: I recently dined at this seafood restaurant and was genuinely impressed by the overall experience. The seafood was fresh and flavorful—especially the honey walnut shrimp and lobster, which were cooked to perfection. The menu offered a great variety, not just in seafood but also in other options like salads, and vegetarian dishes, making it ideal for groups with different preferences. The environment was warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy interior. Soft lighting and tasteful décor added to the relaxing atmosphere, and the background music was just the right volume—not too loud, allowing for easy conversation. One of the standout aspects was the cleanliness of the establishment. The dining area was spotless, and I noticed staff regularly cleaning and sanitizing surfaces. The restroom was particularly well-maintained, with a fresh scent, ample supplies, and a tidy appearance—something that’s often overlooked but truly appreciated. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out, this place hits the mark on food quality, variety, ambiance, and cleanliness. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

3 /5 Nina A: It wasnt horrible but it wasnt the best. Everything was a 3 to 3 12. The bathrooms were gross though the sushi was ok 3.5 the foods served during lunch were ok and desert was set up and displayed cute but was all the basics like at most buffet restaurants. Its not luxury like you would expect and sushi selection was small but it was good. It was cheap 19.99 drinks were cheap.

4 /5 PAPI CHUNGLI #HOPPY WOO DINOSAUR: The food wasnt bad, but there wasnt anything special enough to make me come back. The service, however, was splendid. They kept everything stocked, clean, and were really kind.

3 /5 Randolph Johnson-Smith: Our First time here and we were huuuunnnnnggggrrryyyyyyy. Unfortunately, this was not good at all. The food wasn’t seasoned well. The orange chicken was hard and a bit crunchy. The Mongolian food was just not tasty, writing the review from the restroom because my stomach started turning. The plate with fruit on it had the only things I’d eat unfortunately. We love food with flavor, however if you like plain food this is definitely your spot. I didn’t explore too much because the initial taste wasn’t that great.

1 /5 M L: Got Severe Food Poisoning – Had to Go to the ER I had one of the worst food-related experiences of my life after eating at this restaurant. Within a day of dining here, I became violently ill and had to go to the emergency room. I received an injection and was essentially bedridden for four days with fever, chills, vomiting, body aches, and severe diarrhea. I still haven’t fully recovered at the time of writing this review. I ate a variety of items from both the hot and cold buffet, including seafood (crabs, raw oysters, clams, crayfish), meats (roast beef, hibachi), fruits, cakes, and cookies. I cant pinpoint exactly what caused the food poisoning, but the raw seafood or possibly the cooked shellfish are likely suspects. Despite the restaurant appearing clean on the surface, the food quality and service left much to be desired. Several issues stood out: Many food stations, especially the roast beef and hibachi grill, were often empty. I had to return multiple times just to get served. The hibachi noodles tasted off, and the roast beef was extremely dry—likely sitting out for hours. Finished plates on tables weren’t cleared promptly, contributing to an overall impression of poor upkeep. Another concern I had was the communication barrier. Most of the staff behind the buffet counters didn’t seem to understand or speak English. While I respect cultural and language differences, food safety and hygiene standards in the U.S. must be clearly understood and followed by all food service staff, regardless of background. I seriously question whether proper food safety protocols were being observed. I truly believed the place was safe to eat at, but I was very wrong. Im writing this review to warn others so they don’t have to go through what I experienced.
