Milpitas Buffet
About This Spot
Stepping into Milpitas Buffet is like walking into a cheerful gathering spot where the buzz of conversation blends with the clinking of plates and the soft sizzle of fresh cooking. It’s a lively, well-loved corner of Milpitas where locals and visitors alike gather to indulge in a feast that’s both generous and unpretentious. The pace here feels brisk yet warm—a place that embraces its bustling energy without losing the welcoming hum of shared enjoyment.
The room is often filled with eager diners navigating their way through the extensive spread, where seafood takes center stage alongside an array of familiar and flavorful Chinese dishes. The atmosphere hums with anticipation, as crab legs and clams are brought out steaming hot, shrimp tempura crunches fresh from the fryer, and sushi rolls provide colorful hints of freshness amid the rich offerings. The spot hums with an informal rhythm that invites you to explore dish after dish without rush, savoring each bite with a sense of discovery.
Behind the buffet stands a genuine celebration of variety and comfort—whether it’s the fresh sashimi that promises a delicate coolness, the hearty noodles glazed in savory sauces, or the crispy dim sum beckoning to be paired with a steady sip of tea. There’s even a hibachi grill adding a touch of theater to the experience, making every plate feel a little more special.
Space here leans cozy, reflecting the spot’s popularity, especially on weekends when the room fills quickly with chatter and the clatter of hungry hands reaching for their favorites. Yet, despite the occasional ebb and flow of diners, Milpitas Buffet maintains the kind of energy that feels like sharing a vibrant table among friends—where meal times stretch into moments of collective pleasure and exploration.

They have a huge variety of seafood such as crabs, mussels, shellfish, sushi, etc.. I didn't get to take pictures or record videos since it was lunchtime. It was packed, so I wasn't able to showcase all their food. They have a salad bar, various fresh fruits, and a hibachi grill, too. Overall, everything was delicious! The Chinese food was pretty good also.

There are not many buffets in the South Bay Area, Tomi Sushi, Hokkaido and Milpitas buffet. These are the 3 that I know. This place is often packet during the weekend. It’s also a bit tight as they try to squeeze as many people as allowed. Food wise, it’s not Vegas. Want some raw or cooked oysters, crawfish, crabs, chicken feet, clams, mussels, then come here. There are also “American food” like pizza, a few dim sum items and of course sushi. Overall a lot of choices and if you want choices then this is the place.

Milpitas Buffet is exactly what you hope for when you walk into a seafood buffet — and it delivers perfectly. The selection is huge, with so many dishes that it’s hard to even decide where to start. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The seafood section is the star, and the crab legs are a must-try — grab them while they’re hot, because they taste amazing and go fast. I also appreciated how clean and well maintained the place is, which makes the whole dining experience even better. The staff is attentive and quick to refill trays, so you never feel like you’re missing out on something. There’s plenty of variety beyond seafood too, so everyone can find something they like. For the price, the value is more than fair considering the quality and freshness of the food. Milpitas Buffet has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended!

I was coming back from down in Stillwater Canyon where I was visiting Joe the Hermit, and after a long drive I had to pull in for some fuel, and food. The gal at the fuel station recommended the Milpitas Buffet...said it real nice. So, here I am. With an hour and a half to go before getting back to Napa, I opted not to have any seafood because I've never been here before, and as a fisherman seafood must be fresh! The roast chicken was what I chose, and it was truly spectacular! 5 stars all day long.
