About Empire Buffet
Empire Buffet is one of the chinese restaurants listed in Moreno Valley, California. The business is registered at 12125 Day St, Moreno Valley, CA 92557; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Moreno Valley; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Empire Buffet at (951) 742-5716; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.
Customers rate it 4.3 out of 5 on Google across 969 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese restaurants in Moreno Valley.

I’m usually not harsh with my ratings and as long as it’s mainly good then I’ll give 5 stars. This buffet deserves it’s business, the food is acceptable for buffet quality, of course if your looking for something specific then it’s always better to eat elsewhere but it if you like a bit of versatility then this buffet is perfect. I liked most of the things I tried and will definitely be returning. I didn’t try the seafood as I’m not a fan, and I didn’t get to try the Mongolian as I was too full. But my favorites just to sum it up was the Chinese portion (except the orange chicken) most of the desserts (Flan, almond cookies, ice cream, rice crispy) I didn’t like their cake though but that’s a me preference some may like, I like moist cake so I couldn’t do it from how dry it was, flavor was decent though. I liked the wontons, dumplings, wings, and nuggies. Service is also amazing, they refilled our drinks constantly even though it was pretty busy. May be more pricey than other buffets around but it is so worth it. Lots of parking available.

Firat of all the selection of food here is HUGE. They consider themselves a chinese AYCE buffet but they also have a ton of sushi options (japanese) as well as some american food as well such as ribs (although the one i grabbed was super dry and barely had any bbq sauce on it) but if you wamt chinese food the only thing i didnt like was the spring rolls (easilly the worst that i have ever had😅) My personal favorites were the sushi, the creamy deep fried shrimps, the oysters and the baked oysters (a rich creamy mayo style topping, as well as the stuffed clams. The worst in my opinions was the sashimi (i didnt try that untill 9 though and they close at 930 so im sure if you went earlier it would have been better/more fresh) the ribs, the spring rolls, and then i did not like the calamari either. I also didnt enjoy the baby clams or the baby octopus but i had nevr tried them before so that could be more of a personal preference. The desert selection was huge with everything from fruits to cakes and everything in between including the classic soft serve machine. The koi pond in the entrance was a nice touch and plenty of machines in the front to win trinkets. The customer service

A pretty solid buffet in the area at around $24.99 a person for dinner! It's located in its own plaza with not many recognizable brands around so it could be a little bit difficult to locate, but it is nearby the freeway. Service is pretty attentive with water being free or soda for $2.99 a person. There's a variety of food from sushi to salad to barbecue to traditional Chinese dishes and even some soups and desserts! My favorite one are the barbecue ones (labelled hibachi style) I have a lot of flavor to them and even have a little spicy to them especially on the beef or the chicken ones. A lot of the beef and the chicken dishes have some sweet sauces and even spicy to them catering to the local market where possible. There are even pizzas and chicken nuggets and fries. I do like the Mongolian style grill they have where there's a lot of seafood options for a Mongolian grill of this type including fish, squid shrimp and even beef short rib which i never really see! Again, it's also covered in this sweet teriyaki style sauce that is tailored to this area well. I also like the decoration set they have around as well as how the building looks! It looks like they have a massive amount

This was a pretty nice place. It was kind of a hidden Gem, they had a very wide selection of food. It was mostly Asian inspired. The atmosphere was very cool and the interior was very very large that a small sushi bar and a chef that would make your fried rice to order with what you brought to him it was pretty cool. The price for lunch was excellent so definitely. check this place out eat local,shop local,and spend local.

If you’re a seafood lover, this place is an absolute paradise. The variety is impressive, starting with incredibly fresh oysters served on the half shell—briny, cold, and just the right texture. Crawfish lovers will be thrilled too; whether you like them spicy, buttery, or with Cajun seasoning, the flavor is bold and satisfying. The highlight for many, though, is the sushi selection. There’s something for everyone, from classic rolls like California and spicy tuna to more adventurous choices like eel, uni, and salmon. Each piece tastes fresh and expertly crafted. The buffet-style layout or à la carte setup (depending on location) makes it easy to sample everything. Honey walnut Shrimp , fried squid, and even baked salmon are often available, adding to the experience. Everything tastes like it just came from the ocean, which is rare for a seafood spot offering this many choices. It’s a great place for both casual diners and seafood connoisseurs. Whether you’re slurping oysters, peeling crawfish, or grabbing your fifth sushi roll, you’ll leave satisfied. The price is reasonable for the quality and range of options. Definitely worth visiting if you crave a wide selection of fresh an
