Empire Buffet - Vallejo

People saying this place has good food need to recheck themselves. Dry, bland and just plain sad looking. Tried almost everything and it was just flat out sad all around. I would not recommend coming here.

This buffet is my favorite. The food is pretty good. I really enjoy it.

Great food at a great price!! Good thing I ignored the bad reviews because have been eating here for years and always been a great deal.

Zero to 1 not the best but worst experience. Broccoli ? taste like picked up from garbage washes and recooked. Top it off had a maggot on top of it would not recommend.

Food was cold, selections were limited probably due to covid. The facility is in desperate need of an upgrade. Very dated. Dirty signs, decor, and table condiments.Patrons not wearing masks either so that is always concerning, especially in food service.New item featured was vege tempura (broccoli and sweet potato). This would of been the star dish if it were hot and fresh. Also, price was a bit reasonable $12 for a 2 entree plate lol.It is clear that our local businesses are struggling to reopen. Hopefully, our government can help support small businesses and those businesses can do better.That being said, many businesses took money during the pandemic to keep a float. It is unacceptable to see a business in worst shape after than it was before pandemic hit.I question what was the money used for? Who received grants, loans, and bailouts? Lastly, where are the Code Enforcement, Health Inspector Agents, or the Mayor at to just check places out post-reopening?
