Warehouse Buffet

Pleasantly surprised by the dining experience at this new waterfront AYCE restaurant in Foster City. The large interior has been completely renovated, and the water views are very nice. You can choose between AYCE KBBQ grill, or hot pot. There’s also a decent al a carte sushi rolls and sashimi menu. Plenty of condiments to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable!! $25/person for lunch and $35/person for dinner…best deal in town. Efficient and friendly service. Large free parking lot.

Good selection of meat and veggies for buffet. Nice view. Friendly staff. This place tends to be busy. We waited for a while to get our seats.

I ordered a takeout today with spicy chicken bulgogi with the option of adding rice plus two sides of choice (kimchi and japchae). The food itself was good, however they forgot to add the combo items. I didn't realize until I reached home, this is unfortunate and could have been avoided. The staff needs to have a process to double check and verify order before giving it to the customer.

5 stars for price combination, good menu selection, individual hot pots, spacious seating. Recently remodeled with new menu, fast service bring out your selection. Only $3 more for combo bbq/hot pot.

Food is NOT FRESH, meats are literally turning GRAY, never refills sauce bar or sides, and practically overworks their very limited staff. The owners exhibit abysmal treatment towards their customers (especially the older lady who sometimes wears a hat and seats people). Sad to see this place DROP in quality since two or so years ago it used to be good, but no wonder that's the case since the owners are so profit-driven and too complacent given they're the only establishment of this kind in the area. I hope another KBBQ/hotpot place opens up in the area soon so they get competition and receive the wake-up call they really need to do better. Shoutout to our waiter Orlando who was friendly and decent enough to actually make sure we and other customers around us were being properly taken care off, compared to the lady owner who ignored our requests and was suspicious of my mom being a senior (I'm sure she wanted her to pay full price since business was slow that day 🙄).

JUST NOT GOOD ANYMORE, DO NOT COME HERE, FIND ANOTHER KBBQ/HOTPOT PLACE‼️ -It's always a shame to see a place go downhill, but the good days of Warehouse Buffet are LONG gone. The moment you walk in the door you can see clear indications of cost-cutting decisions that have led not only the food to go downhill, but also the service itself that used to be somewhat decent when more wait-staff were employed and were trained to actually provide good customer service. BEWARE: The lady who co-owns this place is literally the most passive-aggressive, apathetic, and judgemental person in this establishment. Now that they've lessened staff, she frequently goes around tables not in a way that meaningfully attends to customer's needs but rather polices and judges customers' requests and manner of dining. She had the audacity to ask our party whether we really knew how to cook or dine kbbq and did not believe not only us but also other parties around us when she was told that the sides/sauces bar was emptied and lacked refills for 10 minutes+. Their meats and other food items used to be decent or good but now it is clear that their turnover is way too long (due to decreased patronage), with old meats being served and their other items having an aftertaste and being minutes away from going bad. Several members of our family got the banchan and immediately could not eat most of it as items like the cucumber kimchi were exorbitantly salted to mask the aftertaste and smell that would signal the ingredients were no longer fresh. Our party genuinely felt bad for their staff who all looked overworked, including our server who not only served food but was also the sole person assigned to change grills, clean tables, and refill the sides bar & ice cream machine. During our visit, we observed the unequal attention of staff between the entire half of the restaurant that had smaller parties seated and a smaller corner with 2 large groups seated of about 15 people each. The smaller parties were all pretty neglected when it came to service, orders, and even the time it took for them to be seated despite half of the restaurant being empty. It seems like this establishment thinks having some group reservations will be enough to keep business afloat, but they need to seriously re-assess and improve their food and most importantly their service to all other customers and parties regardless of size if they really want to survive long-term. We will no longer be recommending this place to people we know and we hope this restaurant takes serious steps to improve before it's too late.

Nice Korean BBQ + hot pot place in Foster City. Attentive service; food came quickly. There was a station at the side for sauces, fruits, cake pieces, and frozen yogurt. Spacious seating; some booths even have nice view by the water. Easy to find parking. Wish vegetables have more variety. Best thing was that we came here on a Friday night around 7:30 and there was no wait.

Amazing ambiance, and I'm grateful that there's a KBBQ + hot pot place in Foster City! However, the quality really fell short for me and my group. Let me start with the KBBQ, the brisket was shockingly lean... like scary.... No fat content AT ALL. I do not recommend. Definitely go for the beef toro and pork belly instead. Bulgogi was decent as well. My favorite was the marinated boneless short ribs! Marbled and tender. And for the hot pot... the veggies were really fresh! Loved the mushroom and tofu options... but OH MY GOD. The broth... tom yum was not good. Bland and too sour. It did have a good spicy kick to it though. The "broth refills" also looked like straight up water... scary once again. FYI - The biggest tables they have are for 8 people!
