Komi Buffet sits along Knott Avenue in Buena Park as a casual spot geared towards those who appreciate variety and generous portions, especially when it comes to seafood and sushi. The buffet-style setup invites groups and families who want to sample a broad range of flavors without committing to a single dish. It’s the kind of place where you can build a meal out of everything from crab legs and sashimi to fried plantains and a decent salad bar, all in one sitting.

The atmosphere is straightforward and practical, reflecting its buffet roots rather than formal dining. You’ll often find small crowds, especially around opening time, hinting at its popularity among locals who don’t mind a brisk pace or a bit of hustle to get the best picks. Service tends to be polite and efficient, keeping the flow moving even on busier days.

Seafood is definitely the star here—freshness shows in the crab legs, prawns, and various sushi selections, although the sushi is served cold as expected. If you lean towards cooked or fried items, there’s plenty to choose from as well, with options like chicken wings, pork chops, and fried egg rolls. Those who favor lighter sides will find some well-prepared vegetables, edamame, seaweed salad, and corn on the cob to balance out heavier plates.

Desserts are simple but satisfying; the green tea and chocolate ice creams are popular choices among visitors winding down their meal. The open bar adds a little something extra for those who like to pair their food with refreshing beverages, with soft drinks and juice reasonably priced.

This spot works best for diners looking to share and sample a wide range of dishes in one visit rather than those seeking a finely tuned dining experience. Early evenings or just after opening tend to be less crowded, making it easier to navigate the buffet lines. While some guests mention a hint of seafood aroma near the seafood section, it’s generally manageable and part of the authentic casual buffet environment.

Overall, Komi Buffet is a practical choice for groups keen on variety and hearty portions, especially seafood lovers who appreciate freshness without fuss. It fits well into Buena Park’s local dining mix as an accessible, no-frills spot where you can eat your fill with familiar flavors and plenty of selection.

While visiting this town, we tried the food and to be honest they have a great quality of sushi but I was expecting some of the fried rolls to be warmed but all and I mean all sushi was cold . But instead of saying what was bad, I am going to tell you they have the best season and flavored sea food. The dumplings are made freshly often. The soups and chips are delicious, and the ice cream bar is the on top. Just delicious. I do have to mention they have a chocolate fountain and a grill bar. Over all it's a great place, the service is best.

My sister and her friends brought me to this restaurant. We arrived early before the opening time but there’s a line of hungry people waiting. I noticed that there’s a funny smell maybe coming from the seafood section. We were greeted and were seated at a table for 8. Started to choose from a great selection of delicious vegetables, meat, noodles, sushi, soup, salad and dessert. Servers are polite and quick to collect used plates. Around noon, the place is packed but each dish is readily replenished.
