Santa Buffet & Grill

The food didn't suck. Some tasted good, I was disappointed that they kept the label for pork buns even though there wasn't any. For the last two visits I've had there, the label was set on pork buns but didn't have it. Very disappointing, I know it may sound stupid and silly though honestly that's the only reason I choose to go there. My sister said the pineapple didn't even taste like pineapple. The rest of the food was good, I won't complain about that. Though the customer service wasn't the best. When we walked in, the front lady looked and sounded annoyed, probably a bad day, I won't hold that against her, though there was another who was refilling our drinks, I didn't like how it felt like they were rushing us out. Brought the fortune cookies before we seemed done, after setting down the fortune cookies they tried to take my mother's food while she was in the restroom. When my sister and I were going for desert, we noticed that same server looking at us...not in a kind way. You know, those looks of someone wanting you out. I would understand if it was like a rush hour type of thing but there weren't many people waiting, barely had one small group arrive, there were many tables

Everything was okay until we had the same experience many other's reported about the tip issue. I never carry cash so I always pre-tip during the debit card transaction. The server never spoke a word to us. It would have been nice to ask if we needed anything. I had to ask for water. I had left first to get the car started and my two friends who were visiting from another country came up to me stating that the server was harassing them and demanding a tip. They didn't have any American currency on them which made them feel extra pressured. It was not a good ending to our experience. The food was okay. I did get food poisoning sick the next morning. I can't say it was this place that did it but I did notice some reviews stating the same. I won't be returning to this place because of this. It's a cute place and the food looks decent but the experience was not a positive one.

One of the few remaining affordable buffets that offer Snow Crab Legs (Friday - Sunday only) in OC. I came on a Friday evening, and restaurant was 90% full capacity. Cold crab legs alongside hot fried crabs. Eight flavors of ice cream for dessert. Excellent value for the price!

A variety of good food! But service was kind of horrible. We went on Christmas around an hour before it closed. Unfortunately they raised the price to $25.99+ for everyone on that day (so about $30pp total). Food is good and everything I could think of was there. Teppanyaki sushi seafood too. Most of the things I tried were tasty. Not really impressed that they pressured us even before the closing time. Spacious parking in the lot. Clean restroom. Water is free. Another downside is that they use foam and plastic so everything will go into the bin (it’s very very wasteful as you can imagine this is an AYCE). If I were to rate just for the food, probably 4 stars. I wish they could at least change the utensils.
