Seaside Buffet

Wandering in Paradise Edited a week ago

We had a great dinner at Seaside Buffet in Mira Mesa! Large selection of food including sushi, crab, shrimp, Chinese food, roast beef, baked shellfish, teppanyaki, fruits, vegetables, ice cream, cookies, s’more station, and a chocolate fountain. Nice open vibe with attentive servers cleaning up plates and giving refills. It was $33 per adult. Recommend!

2026-June The food was just okay — nothing really stood out, and I wasn’t impressed overall. There were plenty of parking spaces, and the facility itself was clean. I only saw the staff when I first walked in, so service felt minimal. A decent stop if you’re nearby, but the food and experience didn’t quite match the price or expectations. Bon Appétit 😋

EDIT: When I wrote my first review I was still sitting in the restaurant. Apparently the business monitors their reviews closely. The waitress approached me specifically and refunded me the entire $140 (my husband paid,not me) and basically said they never want people to have a bad experience in their restaurant. She went on to let me know you're supposed to go add your ingredients for your teppanyaki to plate and walk over to completely deserted cold looking grill and stand there and someone comes out once you're standing at the grill. She also firmly advised me that their chocolate fountain was MILK chocolate. I would still argue that it is not chocolate. Either way chocolate or not the refund shows me that this business really does care about providing an enjoyable dining experience and I can appreciate that but the fact remains that the food just truly misses the mark. I would advise the business to look into different suppliers for their ingredients to start with because that "milk chocolate" tastes like it came from TEMU! I would also say to the business that you guys know where you're cutting corners to save a couple bucks and I promise it is costing you more in the long r

It's got a decent amount of variety. Food quality is okay. Would I come back to this buffet.... probably not. Sushi - mid. Crab legs - mid. The butter for the Crab legs.... did not taste like butter. Chicken (general tso, salt and pepper, spicy chicken) - tough. Chocolate fountain - 👎🏾. But there were enough decent dishes that I was still able to get full-ish.

Very nice and helpful staff. They are quick to serve the guests. The food is plentiful. For a buffet the food is very tasty as well. I would definitely like to come back and indulge again. The variety was expansive. They had rows and rows of food with an Asian flair to it. The family had a great time having a meal together. It is an excellent place for the family to gather. I had like two full meals and a full complement of desserts. Even Ole Uncle David enjoyed his meal. Too bad Joe Nastal could not have joined us, he would have enjoyed a meal here as well.
