Best Buffets in Los Angeles (2025)
Hae Jang Chon Korean BBQ Restaurant
Korean barbecue restaurant · Koreatown
A Koreatown classic where sizzling stone grills and a 33-item all-you-can-eat lineup keep the energy high. Praised by the Los Angeles Times and Time Out for quality meats and that torch-finished kimchi fried rice, it’s a crowd-magnet with deep neighborhood roots.
MOOHAN Korean BBQ
Korean barbecue restaurant · Koreatown
An upscale, modern take on AYCE: premium cuts, an expansive buffet of banchan and hot dishes, and optional wagyu tiers. Covered by the Los Angeles Times and Eater LA, Moohan channels Seoul steakhouse vibes while staying rooted in K‑Town’s dining culture.
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
Hot pot restaurant · Rosemead
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.
Rahel Ethiopian Vegan Cuisine
Ethiopian restaurant · Carthay
Little Ethiopia’s longtime vegan standard-bearer offers a daily all-you-can-eat lunch buffet of fragrant stews and salads on teff injera, alongside coffee ceremony traditions. Celebrated by the Los Angeles Times for its vibrant flavors; the restaurant advertises the buffet daily.
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.
Mekeni Pinoy's Pride
Filipino restaurant · Artesia
On designated days, this Artesia favorite draws lines for a lavish Filipino buffet with dishes like kare‑kare, lechon kawali, and even lobster. Featured by Eater LA and updated again in 2025 guides, it’s a joyful community feast.
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.
