When you’re starving, nothing beats a buffet for giving you the most food for your money. It’s more expensive compared to a normal meal, but on days when you can pack it in, it’s great to have all the options a buffet has to offer. Alhambra is part of the Los Angeles metro, so you won’t have any trouble finding great restaurants where you can eat all you like.
Gold Hibachi Buffet
Gold Hibachi Buffet offers something a little unusual out of the Alhambra Hotel on West Commonwealth Avenue. While you don’t have to look hard to find a Chinese restaurant with a buffet option, Gold Hibachi is a Japanese buffet complete with a long list of sushi rolls and sashimi. They also offer a few Chinese options, especially those that use seafood as the meat, and they have a fresh grill where you can get some freshly carved meat. Don’t eat too much, though, because you need to save room for mochi ice cream.
Mahan Indian Restaurant
Mahan is a quality Indian restaurant you can find over on West Main Street. They offer a long list of vegetarian and vegan options like naan, bindi masala, pumpkin curry, and basmati rice pilaf. However, if you’d rather have some meat with your meal, you can also get the tandoori chicken or shrimp, lamb curry, or chicken kebabs. You can order their food online for delivery or takeout, or you can have a seat in their restaurant and get a little of everything from their lunch and dinner buffet.
Big Catch Seafood Restaurant
Big Catch Seafood is an L.A. area chain with three locations, and one is a half a block away from where Main Street and Garfield Avenue meet. Big Catch Seafood offers a mix of Eastern and Western options, but either way they’re all about seafood. They offer a raw bar with oysters from all over, fish and shrimp tacos, New England Chowder, and a decent list of sushi rolls. They also offer a buffet, although it’s only for Sunday brunch.
Road to Seoul
If you’re looking for some Korean barbecue without a plate limit, Road to Seoul is practically across the street from Big Catch Seafood. The restaurant has only recently branched out from its original location in Los Angeles, and they offer all kinds of meats and other protein sources. It’s not all about the meat, either, because Road to Seoul also offers several buffet-style side-dish bars for guests who want to choose their own sides or prefer not to eat pork or beef.
Just within Alhambra you can find all kinds of restaurants with buffet options. Meat-eaters and vegans alike can enjoy the food at places like Road to Seoul and Mahan Indian Restaurant, and you can have all the fresh seafood and cooked meats you can eat when you go to Big Catch Seafood or Gold Hibachi. So if you’re hungry in Alhambra, you won’t have to stay that way for long when you can visit one of several excellent buffets.
