Hae Jang Chon Korean BBQ Restaurant

Korean barbecue restaurant · Koreatown

Big Wok Mongolian BBQ

Mongolian barbecue restaurant · Manhattan Beach

A South Bay institution where you build endless bowls and watch the crew wok them on a giant round grill. Eater LA calls it the last great Mongolian barbecue buffet in L.A.—complete with warm shaobing bread and a cult following since the 1980s.

Happy AYCE Hot Pot 开心火锅

Morning brings all-you-can-eat dim sum carts and a hot bar; later, it’s a value-packed AYCE hot pot spread. The Los Angeles Times spotlighted its format and prices, and locals love the sheer variety—SGV comfort with a playful buffet spirit.

India's Restaurant

Indian restaurant · East Hollywood

A family-run favorite known for its lunch buffet: warm naan, classic curries, tandoori, and sweets. Frequently cited by local diners and highlighted by Thrillist, it delivers the comforting buffet experience many L.A. eaters still seek out.

M Grill Brazilian Churrascaria

Brazilian restaurant · Koreatown

Independently owned rodízio where gauchos carve endless cuts and a robust salad bar functions like a buffet of Brazilian sides. Recommended by The Infatuation and beloved by locals for special-occasion feasts without the big-chain vibe.

Kandy Kaffe

Sri Lankan restaurant · Canoga Park

A neighborhood Sri Lankan spot that transforms on Saturdays with an affordable all-you-can-eat spread—think hoppers, kottu roti, and pittu. Eater LA flagged it as an under-the-radar find; recent diners confirm the weekend buffet is going strong.

Hummus Bar & Grill

Mediterranean restaurant · Tarzana

Not a self-serve buffet, but the refillable mezze set acts like one: a parade of salads and dips that keeps coming alongside skewers and grilled mains. Endorsed by The Infatuation and listed on menus as “Keep ’Em Coming” assortments.
