Gourmet City Seafood Buffet

Exceeded all expectations for a buffet! Was craving sushi, but wanted options so we took a chance and came here. The place is affordable, it's $31 for dinner and a decent size with lots of parking. The salmon sashimi was good, dimsum was great, they even had chicken feet which was surprising. The chicken wings were surprisingly flavorful, and they even had shrimp and Cajun boil. They had crab legs when we came on a random Thursday, but they don't have butter. Also they have a good selection of thriftys icecream! I had green tea and strawberry, but they have at least 10 flavors. Even a pina colada flavor.

Wish I could enjoy buffets more but this is by far one of the better ones in the valley. Endless amount of crab legs is amazing although the butter has weird what looked like solidified white stuff at the bottom when you pump it and forgot to take a pic.Parking lot is big but gets full fast! Came here on a Saturday around maybe 12-1pm? It was already packed! It's a huge place which is nice for parties though and they also had a side private room which was also occupied. The lady at the front desk gave me a ticket number but didn't tell me how long of a wait it would be. About 15 min pass so I asked her what the ETA was lol. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated since we had a party of 15.I don't eat a lot so it always feels like a waste when I go to these things but I was with my family from the UK so we treated them. My gripe is that everything is always mixed and "touched" somehow. I have a peanut allergy so I never know what's safe. I literally got orange chicken, coconut shrimp, garlic toast, and chow mein and my mouth/lips were itchy like I had eaten something with peanut. It's unfortunate but everything was good. It's unavoidable I guess? This has always been a problem at buffets. Still recommend it for the bottomless crab legs, huge chocolate fountain, and nice variety of self-serve ice cream!

Clean Restaurant, Attentive Wait Staff. Food Decent:Crab Legs were good! Salmon was wonderful. Siu Mai authenticCustard Buns yummySashimi and Sushi Rolls fresh and plentiful. Salads and Fruits fresh. Seafood good. Chinese dishes pretty decent. *Mongolian Grill cooks needs supervision, or else they'll overcook the hell out of your food. Noodles cooked til dark brown, mushrooms shrank~ turned black and unrecognizable, meat tough as leather, my beautiful egg was fried until stiff, dry and whites turned brown and crispy. yolk was cooked out until dry and rubbery. what the heck!!Ice Cream station was clean with many flavors, but too full to try. Next time... I didn't include pics bcuz their blue neon lighting turns pics all bluey

They had good selection of seafood when we ate there. Also, they have atleast 12 ice cream flavors which the kids loved. It's also a plus that they have a coffee station! not just black coffee, but espresso, and other blends too and hit choco.

We've been to Gourmet City Seafood Buffet several times and we've noticed they are always consistent with great customer service. Once you come in the restaurant they warmly welcome you with a smile and you're seated right away. We've eaten here on a weekday and on a weekend (their busiest times). Yet, they continue to provide great customer service from when you enter to when you are seated. The waiters non stop will come by to replenish your drinks and pick up your finished plates. They will also ask if you're done before they pick up the plates.Gourmet City Seafood Buffet have a variety of food items to choose from. They have seafood,beef, chicken, pork, vegetables, fruits, sushi, pizza, fries, desserts area with a chocolate fountain and ice cream station. They also have a grilling station in the back with the choices of beef, steak, pork belly and pork chop that they will grill and season for you. This location also accommodates events and parties as we've attended a birthday party here before with 85 guests. Whenever we crave for buffet we definitely will stop by here at Gourmet City Seafood Buffet since it's in the San Fernando Valley.

This was our first-time visiting Gourmet City Seafood Buffett. Wow! It is excellent. If you are looking for a new place: Just go, it is an excellent Seafood Buffet. Gourmet City Buffet is easy to miss because it is in in a corner in a large mini mall. We found it because of the large number of positive reviews. The parking is easy. You don't need to get a reservation because of the large amount of seating available. The décor is similar to a banquet hall with purple hues that give Gourmet city a festive feel. We walked in and were seated as soon as we walked in. The crew was welcoming and friendly. The servers were attentive and quick to refill our drinks and clean the used plates. The food: The selection is excellent. The crab legs are Large, plentiful and refilled frequently. The shrimp options are delicious. The seafood selection is very large. Look at my photos. If your family is not into seafood there are plentiful options for everyone in the family. Salmon, Pizza, sushi, Mongolian beef/chicken freshly cooking, macaroni and tons of food for kids. The California rolls were very tasty. There is a chocolate fountain flowing to dip what ever you would like to have chocolate. The ice cream bar if very large with very unique options. The Mango ice cream had real pieces of Mango in it. The food is delicious and the restaurant is clean without a wait or lines. You will enjoy your visit!

Was very impressed of the quality of the food, definitely one of the better buffets I have tried in the LA area

First time here. Yes it is blue lighting inside. The bbq is and the hot food selection isn't that big of a variety. They have sushi station and of course dessert. I never have room for that. Overall the staff was on point and cleanliness is good. Bathroom is clean and the tables were spaced out well. Great new spot. 5 stars if they had oysters

I was visiting my sister and her husband in Sherman Oaks and wanted to treat them to an upscale Chinese Buffet, if one existed. Well one does!We arrived on Sunday afternoon, to a bustling restaurant--the Gourmet City Seafood Buffet.We were quickly seated on comfortable chairs to a table for four, then walked the buffet lines for a quick survey of all the food options. There were way too many to sample in one sitting, so we focused on the seafood and left the sushi bar for next time.The neon (blue) lighting severely compromises any photography, but one can get a good idea of the quality and variety of the food provided (see pic).The staff was attentive to our needs, chop sticks, more water, napkins etc. But there was little chance to talk with them, they were so busy. Look at the size of those prawns!All the seafood you can eat for $30 ?That's a real bargain! I hope to return and try all the other entrées I missed.This was definitely a 5-Star experience!

The promise of a vast and delicious seafood buffet in North Hollywood lured us to Gourmet City Seafood Buffet. The buffet boasts a wide selection of dishes, including various seafood options like sushi, sashimi, cooked fish, and shellfish. They also offer Korean BBQ, Mongolian BBQ, and a decent selection of non-seafood items.We arrived here when lunchtime was almost over but my friend wanted crab legs which was available only dinner time. However, we were not impressed with the quality of crab legs. Not something worth the higher price to pay for.So if you're looking for a budget-friendly option with a wide variety of food choices, including some decent seafood options, Gourmet City Seafood Buffet is worth a try, but I recommend only during lunch hours.
