The Dishes
The reviewer's experience at Sukia Buffet showcased an impressive array of offerings. The standout item was undoubtedly the pork belly, described as so addictive that the reviewer returned for an entire plate of it alone. The pork was perfectly cooked, nice and fat, and juicy. The seafood selection included abalone, which was pretty decent, and perfectly fried soft shell crab with a delicious sweet garlicky sauce. Fresh fish was notably soft and tender. The ramen was a surprising highlight for an all-you-can-eat establishment, featuring well-cooked noodles, delicious broth, and a charred piece of shoe with nice texture. The restaurant also offers Wagyu sushi and a full dessert bar.
The Experience
The buffet provides a casual all-you-can-eat dining experience with an extensive selection of hot foods. The unlimited drink fridge features various fruity and milky drinks, adding to the overall value. The setup allows diners to explore multiple cuisine types from sushi to ramen in one sitting, creating a diverse dining experience perfect for those craving variety.
Value and Pricing
Lunch is priced at $26.99, while weekend and dinner service is $42.99. Given the quality of offerings, particularly the standout pork belly and surprisingly well-executed ramen, the pricing appears reasonable for an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet with premium options like Wagyu sushi.
Notable Moments
The pork belly was so good. I had to go back and just get a plate full of pork belly itself because it was just that addicting.
I'm actually very impressed with how good this bowl of ramen was for an all you can eat spot.
The Verdict
Sukia Buffet in Costa Mesa is highly recommended for seafood lovers seeking an all-you-can-eat experience with quality proteins and diverse options. The exceptional pork belly alone justifies a visit, while the surprisingly quality ramen and fresh seafood selections make it a strong choice for those wanting variety at reasonable pricing.
