******UPDATE******Torn down…was suppose to move down the road ******The Pacific Seafood Buffet has two locations. One in Chandler and the one I went to in Glendale Arizona that borders Peoria just by P83. The Pacific Buffet is an all you can eat restaurant. This restaurant has been here in Glendale since around October 2010. They offer TWO HUNDRED items of appetizers, soups, sushi, sashimi, assorted shellfish, a Mongolian BBQ, various entrees, ice creams, cakes and other pastries Monday – Friday for $11.88. The Pacific Seafood Buffet is open everyday for lunch and dinner. They are even open on all major holidays and do offer holiday specials.

You walk in and it seems like a fancy place with a big high ceiling and lots of granite lined buffet tables.

The sushi table looks like a boat.

Then we get seated and the dining room is more casual.

Soon someone greets us, takes our beverage order and we are off to the buffet.

There is so much to try…what to pick?

The ginger scallion fish on the right was the best fish I tried here today. Mushrooms looked good…I forgot to try them (oh well) tried the green beans…they were ok.

Lots of assorted fried foods here…and the chicken skewers looked a little dry so I moved on.

Salmon is never good from any buffet. it appears to be very over cooked today. I know I wouldn’t enjoy this so I moved on.

Apple strudel, sliced sausage and something that looks very beefy…?

I take my first plate.

The best fish I tried here is the white fleshed fish at 6:00 on my plate. It’s in a ginger scallion broth and is light and flaky. green beans are good. Most of the sushi is not for my taste. I think it’s less desirable than supermarket sushi and they all are made with too much rice. The best of the bunch surprisingly is the spicy tuna. The mackerel at around 2:00 on the plate is slightly over cooked but ok. The other best thing on the plate is the eggplant with milld Asian flavors next to the mackerel. If I could redo and make this plate again it would only contain the ginger scallion fish, the greens beans and the eggplant.

Moving on.

Did better with plate #2. Nothing was bad with plate #2 but a few things could use more flavor. The best bite of this plate was The Korean Chicken at around 10:00 on this plate. It was a sliced juicy chicken thigh with tasty seasoning. It might have been the best thing I ate here. My husband took two pieces of the Korean Chicken and one was good like mine and the other one was dried up……(at a buffet things often go from ok to dried up..) If I could redo this plate I would take more Korean Chicken, more greens, the bun that looks like a peach stuffed with sweet beans and the fried sesame ball. The pepper chicken and the black pepper chicken were both ok (tender and reasonably fresh made) but on the bland side.

My husband tried a fish ball.

I’m not sure why it made him scream….He said I wouldn’t like it so I didn’t give it a try.

My husband tried some things that I didn’t try. A few of the things he took were dried out. I did notice that the majority of beef items did look dry to me today.

He took another plate after this and got butterflied fried shrimp that just came out of the kitchen that he liked. He said they were the best thing he tried here today.

We shared some desserts.

It looks a little scary but some of it is ok. The ice creams and sherbets were hard as rocks so it was impossible to get a scoop of any of them but my husband managed to scrape out some orange sherbet. Best of the plates might be the lemon cake or the fried plain Chinese doughnut?

For $11.88 it was an interesting adventure. A few things were good and the rest was either ok or inedible. I was overly full and that was my meal for the day. Ten years ago it seemed like there was an Asian Buffet on every corner but most of them are gone now in this area.

Our server was friendly and attentive. She cleared plates quickly and presented the bill at the perfect time.

That was my trip to Pacific Seafood Buffet in Glendale.

*******UPDATE****was torn down. The website said that they were to relocate two miles down the road. Construction was almost done and they were expected to open in October. Don’t know if they will move forward?*********
