NIKU X is a Michelin-recognized yakiniku restaurant in downtown LA's Wilshire Grand Center, offering an unlimited Japanese A5 wagyu, lobster and seafood experience rather than a traditional steam-table buffet. Diners order from a menu and chefs grill premium cuts to order, including at a dedicated bar counter where you can watch your steak cooked in front of you. It runs a membership program, Chubby Cattle Club, that unlocks additional discounts.

King Buffet is a large Los Angeles Asian buffet on North Western Avenue serving Chinese, Japanese and general Asian dishes, including crab legs, sushi rolls and a full dessert bar with multiple ice cream flavors. Its size makes it a common pick for family events and large group gatherings. Reviews are more mixed than the other names on this list, spanning from strong praise for the seafood to serious complaints about freshness and billing practices.

Gold Hibachi Buffet in Alhambra serves over 150 fresh items daily, spanning seafood, sushi, hibachi and a dedicated grill station where diners select their own ingredients to be cooked to order.

The hibachi station is a standout feature that sets it apart from more standard buffet formats.
