The Pacific Buffet International Cuisine Restaurant in Arizona

The Pacific Buffet is a stylish all-you-can-eat restaurant with fancy eats and treats galore. If you enjoy Chinese Food, Japanese Food, Korean, and more...you won't have to go anywhere else to get it! You'll have your choice of just about every Chinese dish known to folks in America (and then some), in addition Sushi, Sashimi, and a dozen other dishes (some of which are Filipino or of other Asian origin).

I tend to enjoy buffets for the fact that you can get whatever you like and a lot of it, but I specifically enjoy the Pacific Buffet restaurant because they are dedicated to quality service on top of quality food.

When you enter the doorway, you'll see an aesthetic setting that is pleasing to the eyes. You will be greeted by one of their kind and thoughtful hosts, who will assign a waitress to you and lead you to your table.

When you go to an Asian buffet and there are all Asian people and their families eating there, then you know it's good! At Pacific Buffet, I was one of the only White people in the entire restaurant. The place was packed, but it was mostly by Asian people from all walks of life.

If you're looking for just an inexpensive buffet that won't cost more than usual, then you might want to continue the search a little bit. When eating at this restaurant, I found that the bill on average comes to about $15 to $16 per person, not yet including any tip you might want to leave on behalf of their examplary service. When contrasted to other local buffet restaurants, that's about twice the price. If you can afford it though, it really is very much worth every penny.

For those looking for a lot of seafood, you'll find it here! From king crab and lobster to shrimp prepared several different ways, you won't have to look around the buffet line to find what you're looking for as far as seafood goes. They even have fresh oysters still on the half-shell.

There are at least four different types of soups you will find there: wonton, egg-drop, hot and sour, and a fourth dish that rotates between chicken-noodle, clam-chowder, and others.

And of course, as all good Chinese buffet restaurants seem to have, there is a section where you can put together a dish of fresh vegetables and salad-greens only. These areas are complete with all the toppings, seasons, and dressings you might want to place on it.

Environment-wise, again...it's very plush as far as buffet restaurants go. But it won't necessarily be the quietest place you can eat. Like any night eating out, you'll find that there always be a few loud customers across the way or an obnoxious screaming baby sometimes at the table behind you or near by. I did have to move at one point due to a parent's inability to watch, discipline, and attempt to quiet her children...but the hostess was very helpful, considerate, and understood completely why I wanted to move. When you go out to eat, you go out to enjoy the night either with friends and family or by yourself. You don't go there to watch children misbehave and disturb your dinner! So if you ever have that situation arise, the staff will be happy to reseat you wherever you like.

I'd like to add that the staff here speaks English fairly well on average. Compared to a lot of other Chinese buffets where the waiters and waitresses often know only the words that will get them by with orders and drinks, at Pacific Buffet you will find mostly Asian staff but almost all with proficient speaking and communication skills.

Overall, this is an excellent place to eat. If you don't mind spending at least $20 on yourself for a meal and a night out, I'm sure you will be very happy with it. The food, service, cleanliness, communication, and general satisfaction is all right there for you at Pacific Buffet. Enjoy!
