Prices increased $1 since last visit. They added salmon skin and this jalapeno sushi roll which both were yummy. Everything else seemed the same except there wasn't chicken feet but pig feet today. Service was good, I love how they don't waste food by making large portions of items but constantly have fresh, hot food coming out. The inside was well kept and neat.

Always a great place to visit with the family, really delicious food and is always one of the places we consider going to for a celebration!

Lady who greets you upon entering is always courteous and professional. I'd say all employees are kind and helpful. Food was fresh but could need some help with a few of the items that tend to be just sitting there. Atmosphere was okay as my family and I came right at opening. Pricing is always good if you make it for their lunch prices.

I took a chance on this place and it has been my family's go to for the weekend! The kids love making their own smores once they are full off of crab legs, crawfish and yummy fried rice. This place has it all! My daughter loves the fresh sushi bar, my sons love the crabs and crawfish and I love the teppanyaki grill. I love how clean it is and the background music is actually what's on the billboard charts now, the ambience is perfect there is chatter but only from other groups enjoying their meals. The Bathroom is immaculate! Love this place and will Continue to frequent it!

First timers here at Seaside Buffet and it did not dissapoint! The selection and variety of food both bountiful and equally delicious. Service was excellent as well with our host tending to every need, even offering to replenish food items that may not have been stocked. We will definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family along!

I try to stop by here with friends every time I'm in San Diego!! I loveee seafood and this buffet gives you the best bang for your buck. They have such fresh oysters and crab legs! The people here are always so friendly and the place is huge, which works well when we have large parties !! If you're in the area, come by. You wont regret it.

Directions & Parking: Heading west on Miramar, entrance is the first driveway after passing Clayton drive. Miss the driveway? You have 2 more driveways to enter. Miss those? You can turn right on Camino Ruiz and right into the next driveway. Miss those? You should probably order for delivery...lol j/k. We went on a Wednesday night around 530pm, and parking was plentiful In the dedicated parking lot In the good-sized strip mall. Food: *FYI, I have a peanut and seafood allergy, so I can't speak to the seafood side*. BUT, they did have a good assortment of food that I could eat. First impressions were that the food didn't look all that fresh, but that changed once I saw a manager-of-sorts doing rounds and making sure there was plenty of stock. What I ate: Hot & Sour Soup - I'd say just a couple steps below the best I've had, but it was good. Skip the crunchy noodle strips because they were stale. Chicken Broccoli - Good flavor, broccoli had pale color in some areas which suggests they're not very fresh. Bokchoy sautéed in garlic - also didn't look fresh, but flavor and taste good Korean Short Ribs - couple steps below best I've had, and not as tender, but good enough. French fries - hot and crispy Fried Chicken Wings - hot, crispy and OH SO DELICIOUS! *Warning* When I went for seconds, I noticed they placed them in the same pan as what seemed to be fried fish pieces. I didn't get a reaction though, so I went for thirds...even fourths! Mongolian Beef - tasted like the Korean short ribs and not as mongolianey as I'm used to. Beef was also kinda chewy. Nice to try, but would pass next time. Rice - fluffy and fragrant located in large rice cooker. Smores - Yes, you read right! There was a s'mores bar and a sterno looking deal (chaffing fuel) where you'd heat up the marshmallows. I was concerned there'd be a taste from the chaffing fuel, but didn't taste anything. Kinda difficult to toast marshmallows without going closer to flame and inadvertently lighting and burning marshmallow. Ice Cream - comes from Thrifty! Flavors ranging from chocolate malted crunch, to coconut pineapple, to sorbet! Chocolate fountain - my kid loved it and marshmallows were fresh. Service and ambiance: very polite and friendly staff And were attentive to our dirty plates and anything else we needed. Very clean and modern looking from outside to inside. Too clean, that we can smell the cleaner while eating. Definitely doesn't help with keeping appetite, but wasn't a deal breaker. Overall: Would definitely recommend this place and go back again when we have the chance. I would guess that this place gets very busy on the weekends considering it's only one of few buffets around the area.
I'm not in San Diego often but i stumbled upon this place and love it. Their food is fresh and the variety is insane. They got all kinds of seafood, Chinese dishes and even a grill. Everyone was so friendly and came over to clear our table. I highly recommend dropping by if you're in the area! It's worth the price!

I haven't been to a buffet since I was young, and it was so nostalgic and the food was great! This is the place to go if you love seafood, so many different options but my favorite station was the teppanyaki! They also have fun deserts like a chocolate fountain and s'mores. It was fun getting different types of food each round and I definitely left very full. The staff was very kind and quick with clearing plates! The place has lots and lots of seating, could be perfect for events.

Super fun experience considering I haven't been to a buffet in years! SO MANY options to choose from, if was fun to pick and choose different things. Super spacious place, would be great for events and parties! Overall the food was good and I definitely left FULL! Fun little additions to the place such as a chocolate fountain and a s'mores station! Staff was very kind and attentive and the restaurant was very clean and organized!

This was hands down one of the best buffets I've ever been too. From the quick service to the variety and freshness of the food, this place has it all! This place is very large and can easily accommodate large groups, there was plenty of TVs as well and a full bar! The variety of food was outstanding, there was sushi, seafood, meat, bao buns, and tons more! There was so much to choose from and everything I got I loved! The frog legs were the BEST I've ever had. They were so moist and crunchy and had excellent flavor. I also loved the fried rice, Mongolian beef, the hot and cold crab legs and the sushi! The sushi was outstanding for a buffet and there was tons of options! They even had sea snails, that was fun to try. The s'mores station was so unique and so cute, as well as the cotton candy and chocolate fountain. The banana pudding is also a must try. I can't wait to come back, I am blown away that I haven't checked this place out sooner! Highly recommend.

Wow! What a great place, perfect for family dinners / gatherings. We came here with our 7 year old son and he enjoyed every aspect of it. There were so many great options (sushi, salads, shrimp, crab legs, fried rice, oysters, noodle bar, and MUCH more!!)
