8 Best Buffets near Baldwin Park

“FRIDAY FOOD REVIEW...GOLDEN PANDA BUFFET (again)...5/30/25! We hadn't been to the Golden Panda Buffet, located at 1825 Madera Rd, in Simi Valley, in several years, so it was time to go back! They have a huge selection of Japanese, Chinese, and Mongolian food for your dining pleasure, plus there are also different soups, salads, fruits, and of course desserts and ice creams! We both tried a variety of it all, and for a buffet, it's really good!! It's definitely a locals favorite...get there early!!“

“Late-night hot pot + BBQ buffet with solid seafood

Went for the hot pot & BBQ buffet combo. You can pick one broth or go with a double/triple split. Lots of options on the buffet line.

A few standouts:
- Argentine red shrimp – plump, firm, with a nice snap
- Frog legs – surprisingly huge
- Oysters – fat and briny
- Grilled eggplant – soft and fully soaked in garlic sauce; every bite was pure flavor
- Grilled shrimp and grilled chicken skin– also really good

The sauce station was clean, and sodas are self-serve. They're open until 1 or 2 AM – perfect for late-night cravings.“

“The overall environment is clean and well-designed, and the self-serve sauce bar is also very tidy. The ingredients are very fresh—the sliced meats have beautiful marbling, the seafood is well-prepared with no fishy smell at all, and there’s a wide variety of fresh vegetables.

It’s currently $14.99/lb, and there’s a 12% opening discount, plus a free drink included, which honestly makes the value feel almost unbelievable… hotpot has never felt this affordable and stress-free.

We ordered the spicy broth and tomato bone broth. The moment they arrived, the aroma was incredible. The spicy broth was bold, hot, and flavorful, while the tomato broth was rich and comforting.

I really like this “small and refined” style of hotpot—no fighting for ingredients, no worrying about portion sizes. Every bite feels like your own pace, and the whole experience is both relaxing and satisfying.“

“If you like Sushi like I like Sushi this is the place with their AYCE menu. Laura is an amazing person to know, great energy. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable, I always enjoy going there. When you go tell them you read Don's review, thanks! Enjoy“

“Decent place pretty standard for golden corral I had panda before going didn't think I was gonna have a buffet that day but even still I got 4-5 plates in cuz I'm a fatty was a bit of a challenge to get refills on my drink but maybe because I sat in the back corner to hide my shame 😱 all in all a good spot if you want variety (it is a buffet so don't expect gourmet level food) the steak was decent though and they have lobster tail for a premium very fancshey. (Lobster tail might be a limited time thing)“

“Excellent place: beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, a great variety of food, and everything was delicious. The menu offers something for everyone, including meat dishes, vegetarian, and vegan options. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service is fast. It’s a perfect spot for a family dinner or a gathering with friends. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to others.“

“There is a variety of food options available for everyone from sushi rolls, pizza, chicken nuggets, Chinese, etc. Some food options were out for a while which tasted stale and lost flavor, but it was very few things compared to most of the available options.
The service was well as they had staff putting out food, clean utensils and serving refills for drinks.
The environment was pretty loud in some areas and the lighting is a bit dim, which can be improved on to feel welcoming or light up the dining area. Great price overall if you want to get all you can eat sushi along with other food options.“

“Absolutely insane value for money. Endless sushi and seafood for a price that wouldn’t even get you two pieces of shrimp at other regular restaurants.

Quality of food varies a little bit; sushi is really good but some of the seafood doesn’t taste the greatest and can taste sorta stale. Crab has very little meat and is mostly shell. Some stuff is a little cold too. But still, for the price I can’t believe just how much variety there is of stuff that would be pretty expensive anywhere else.

I do wish the various trays’ ingredients were labeled more clearly and there was more English speaking staff. But overall a super underrated buffet and highly recommendable.“
