A big thank you to Mukbee for sponsoring this video. After a great trip to Anaheim to attend Vidcon, I was just around the LA area and decided to pay a visit to what I think is LA's best buffet. How do I know? I got a chance to visit the Cafe Sierra restaurant about 3 years back and so glad to see them back up and running again! Along with the great food, it was the great people there that made it special.
And during this visit, it was just like old times! The mountains of King Crab, mounds of lobsters cooked and plated to order, and beautiful roasts from prime rib to an absolutely succulent bbq duck. While the price has gone up, so has the quality and quantity.. the best of both worlds.

Tim! Your kindness to all the restaurant workers is inspirational. I wish everyone was as friendly!
Thank you so much, it was wonderful to see everyone there again and really appreciate everyone being such good sports 😀
Thank you for your kind words! Dr.Tim Rasico M.D.
Personality is amazing and so friendly.
“ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT U TIM IS HOW U SPEND TIME RESPONDING BCK TO ALL UR SUBSCRIBERS “ way to go Tim. Just love watching ur sea food buffets
These experiences you share with us just keep getting better and BETTER. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your kind comment 😀 really grateful to get to go on these trips
Messy food is the BEST food 😂 I never hesitate to order ribs, spaghetti, nachos or any other awkward food that ends up all over my face on first dates 😂😂😂 keep being you 😊
Now you're talking! No pretenses nor awkwardness... Just having a great time together 😀
@@TimLeeLetsGo Yes!! 🤗 exactly 🥳
LOL! If I can't eat spaghetti on a first day, there won't be a second date. And, garlic bread.
My grandma used to say “order an omelet on your first date, no one looks good chewing.” Lol sorry Nan I never took your advice.
@@melissalambert7615 fantastic! Good job Melissa 🥰
Even with the price. Definitely worth it with the lobster, king crabs and etc. yum, a perfect buffet for me
I was a bit shocked at the price to be honest, but it was quite worth it considering how much all the seafood is nowadays 😋
Oh my gosh the seafood at that buffet is incredible, so many huge crabs 😍 those oysters were huge as well. Fantastic nugget,buffet thanks again for taking us along Tim.
It is impressive how large the crabs and lobsters were. Very enjoyable 😋
LA native here, Cafe Sierra has always been a high quality buffet, your review makes me want to pay a visit since we were there precovid, but at current prices we may have to leave the kids at home
Hi Tim! I met you at this buffet in LA.. You were so kind and friendly to all your subscribers:) I'm glad to see that you liked the Spago Pizza that we recommended:) I hope to see more of your videos! Take care!:)
Thank you so much! Yes I remembered the suggestion of the pizza! How did you like the buffet all in all?
My mouth is watering----can't wait to get back to LA!!!
Thanks for the video. I love your polite manner and attempts to find out the names of the staff which I’m sure they appreciate too.
Thank you so much and they were really great sports. I was there a couple of years ago so I think a few of them remembered the last visit 🙂
All that seafood makes my mouth water. So sweet that you remember the staff from years ago.
You’re great! Thank you for all the vlogs you share! That buffet is really awesome! I love it❤️❤️❤️
I love all the places you go. What a delight it is to learn more about great food and the places you go.
Got to make a trip there! My husband is very Big on seafood , All Seafood! I would love to surprise him , he’ll be like a kid in a candy store 😊 thanks Tim
Your kindness to everyone is just wonderful and the food looked amazing ❤
Thank you so much! Really enjoyable time and fantastic people there; really grateful that everyone were such good sports 😃
It would be a wonderful thing if these buffets would all offer fried oysters. Thank you Tim for for being the kind gentleman you are. Keep up the good work. Many blessings and safe travels.
The fried oysters would’ve been perfect😋
So nice you went back and saw old friends. That king crab was Ginormous! I know you like prime rib but I would have gone with the duck - twice. For once I am watching you eat lovely seafood and I get to have it for dinner also. I'm making shrimp scampi with lots of garlic and some pasta. Greetings from Corvallis Oregon.
Greetings from Vancouver as well! Yeah, the duck was outstandingly good and I don't think I gave it justice. Best stuck I've ever had 😋
This looks like one of the best buffets you’ve done. What a treat! Thanks for sharing Tim.
It was pricey but it’s probably even better than the Vegas ones😋
You are Soooo gracious! Thank you for sharing this magnificentness!
Thank you so much and if you get a chance, I would highly recommend visiting 🙂
To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 😊❤
Bad news your wishes didn't feed me .or keep me warm thanks for nothing again
I wouldn't mind paying that price for all the crab and lobsters you can eat!The prime rib looked wonderful 😋!
As always, your video was done well! ❤
Thank you so much , it was quite an enjoyable evening with the great food and more importantly the great people there. The crab and the lobsters were quite substantial in size for sure 😋
@@robertscott9714 go for the seafood 😉
I would eat so much seafood, I think they would cut me off😅
Thank you for your videos! I want to make my first visit to Vegas and this will be a restaurant I definitely will be going to!
Dude, thanks so much for posting this fabulous video! Definitely on my bucket list. So much food, though. How did you waddle out of the restaurant without an assist?
This is an Ultimate Buffet. And the best buffet you've been to in a while. Happy to see you're back in the United States. The lobster and the king crab are impressive, but I really wish you would not ruin it by dipping it in New England clam soup. You want to taste the lobster and king crab by enhancing the flavor of it with melted butter and a little tiny bit of fresh lemon. I just don't know why you want to mask the flavor of top quality seafood with a cream soup. I guess to each their own. The buffet is beautiful. Thanks for showing us 👍🏻♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
That’s like saying DONT USE KETCHUP MUSTARD Onions or Relish or even CHILI ON HOT DOGS! Let him eat his way! Bless!
Your videos are the BEST! I always enjoy your amazing views of these incredible buffets but even more I always appreciate your kindness to others.
Thank you so much. Really enjoyable evening and wonderful to see how the folks at the restaurant 😀
@@TimLeeLetsGo And you remember them all by name! So impressive!
So jealous 😫..
This is a wonderful buffet!!
Ty for sharing Tim!!
It was a very nice experience and would highly recommend it if you're in the area... though it is expensive
Wow it’s amazing you ate most of seafood 🦞 as you experienced the buffet restaurant and so on! 😃
I love watching you go to all the seafood buffets. They look absolutely delicious. Keep them coming. I enjoy your videos and some of the things you advertise it pretty cool too.
Thank you so much and very grateful to get to visit and share these places. Thank you so much again for reaching out 😀
Yet another great buffet Tim, love seeing the different options. You always seem to get the exact same things I would've gotten. 😊
tim this is a great review the food looked terrific ,thank you tim
It was nice to see that after the difficult couple of years, that things were just as good as they were before and with most of the people there as well 🙂
Tim, the Buffet was very high class great video! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Ty, Tim..so nice to see the full video ❤...considering that amount of seafood, $139 is not that outrageous of pricing❤❤❤ glad you got to enjoy again ❤
They certainly were generous with the seafood. To be honest, I don't think they're making much profit (if any) even at that price..
Wow thank you;Tim. Appreciate ,the food and the kindness toward the;staff. You;are so kind 😊
Thank you so much! It was such a nice experience. Great food and great people there 😃
Tim,you never disappoint.
Wow! All of these foods look amazing! Can't wait to try this buffet! Just became a subscriber when I discovered your content today. Love your content! You are such a great host!
Thank you so much🙏. Really appreciated and a happy holidays to you and yours😀
You had me at lobster! Looks amazing!
Wow. What an amazing buffet
Oooo my kind of buffet. I love most everything that swims or lives in water
😋 likewise
Tim you're approaching 100k subscribers, glad for you. Once you do reach that milestone of 100k, you'll have no choice but to invite us all to a buffet, guess who's paying? Tim are you still there?
It is so wonderful to get to meet so many people through the channel. Incredible how time flies 😃
Hi! You're very welcome! Tim
Well, I just added him one more, so I want to be there for dinner, too. Since he's paying of course.
Thanks for sharing this. The food looks incredible and the price is okay 😊
Thank you for another video food video, Mr. Tim. Love how to carefully choose your seafood to beef courses and strategically pick your dessert. Good moves. We definitely use that on our next food adventure in LA Hilton Buffet. Bummer on price increase but it is like that everywhere. We enjoyed this video way to go good sir @TimLeeLetsGo 🎉❤
Wishing you an amazing trip in LA as I'm sure you'll have a blast. I would definitely recommend the buffet, but again it is very pricey 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo Indeed. Always nice to see the video and watering food.
OMG, we are headed to LA in August and I can't wait - this video is part of the reason!! The Dodgers are the other part. Thanks Tim!!!!!!
I hope you give it a try, but it has gone up in price so just forewarned 😉
Can't believe you walked that hill Lol.....Loooooove Cafe Sierra!!!
Was kind of glad I went up the hill with all the food afterwards 😋😉
You got a workout to go with your meal! And I do like how many of the desserts went for more refreshing/bright flavors like pineapple to cut through the richness of the food!
Thank you Jess! Chocolate and pineapple.. a very good combination 😋
Wow, the king crab and soft-shell crab looked really tasty...and also that salmon pizza! Then just leave me at the dessert table and I'll go crazy on all those amazing treats. What a fabulous buffet :)
I wish they had something like this in Vancouver...😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo Yes, but I cringe at thinking what the price would be lol.
Wow I’m new to this channel and I love this. Lovely food.
Thank you so much and it is a blast to connect with everyone here 😃
That food looked so good I wanted to climb into the video and sit with you to eat.
Really nice looking buffet. Nice video. Great info. Thanks and take care.
Thanks so much it was a great experience there ...
Wow great video as always, Delicious food 😋. Glad you are able to enjoy so many dishes😊
It was quite a nice experience and if you're in the area for a special occasion, I would recommend
Just can’t get over Tim u hv replied to each & every one of us. I just scrolled thru & see thT u hv replied / messaged bck to each 1 of us. Amazing 👌👌👌👍
Everything looks so delicious 😋
Definitely a favorite buffet and would highly recommend if you're in the area 😋
I recently found your channel, thanks for your content!
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
Wow ! Looks like a high quality buffet for sure!
This was quite nice and certainly rivals those Vegas buffets as well
Damn, Tim Lee coming in with the heat this place looks bonkers !!!!
I cant wait to try this place out
Really glad that it's still remain pretty much the same with all the great Seafood and meats
Thanks so much, Tim, for sharing with us this lovely video. Is Anaheim in L.A. where most of Vietnamese gather together?
Thanks Tim… because of your video, I just booked my table on 7/22😍 can’t wait… it’s bit more prizzy compared from the last time I went, but at least now, lobster is really unlimited !
Really great to hear and hope you have a blast! One suggestion is to go early near the time they open. have a great vacation
My idea of heaven. Loved the way you determinded to have that particular oyster. How on earth do you keep your figure?
I just downloaded Mukbee to my iPhone, very helpful, thanks!
It's quite nice and I did started to make lists for the next trip. Hopefully there'll be more and more hidden gems to be posted 😃
OMG need to go here ASAP
That is a bit of a steal for all those premium selections! Yummy!!
Yeah, the prices are high but the ingredients were super nice! I recall king crab was outrageously expensive on it's own
Thank you Tim - I enjoy your videos!
Thank you and really grateful to get to visit the cafe Sierra again. Very good food and same great people 😀
we are going there! thanks for the post.
I hope you enjoy it!
Tim, quite a mouthwatering experience. Best
It was so nice to see everything back as it was... Had the same great people too 🙂
That looks fantastic. And the staff all love you. It looks like it's worth the price. I am headed to Seattle and while we are there will try a buffet you recommended a year or so ago, but after that, this place is on my list.
Have a great trip to Seattle! I hope the buffets in Seattle still doing well.. thank you again 😃
Just found your channel and now I am hook and feeling hungry when I see you are eating.
Thank you so much! Really grateful to get to share these experiences and connect with everyone here 🙂
Great video Tim ! and thankyou hope you enjoy it 😊 haha from Canada 🇨🇦..
Thank you so much. It was such a nice experience and as good as the food was, it was the people that made the evening special. Thank you again and all the best to you and yours.
Congrats on almost 100k subs Tim! Good job!!
Thank you so much.. really grateful for the CZcams community 😃
Thank you Tim, that king crab , it’s my favorite!
Mine too! Lots of meat with relatively little work 😋
Tim… I dont have much experience of seafood but you really make me want to try more
I think the buffet is the best place to try seafood.. so many varieties and if you don't like something just move on to the next 😉😋
Can you go to their champagne brunch. I want to see what the lobster claws look like
That sounds quite amazing…. Nothing like a champagne brunch with a lot of seafood and buffet 😋. Can’t wait to go next time…
Hi Tim i really like watching your blog…more to come
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated 😃
Thanks for sharing.
Great video Tim ! I sure miss this buffet 🤤 it went from $69 to $139 in less than 4 years 😬
Man, how time flies! I can't imagine taking a whole family there at 139 now.. $69 was such a steal back then😃.
@@TimLeeLetsGo the kids might have to stay home w/ the grandparents 😆
@@DavidSriracha 😂... Imagine if all they had at the buffet was pizza 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo yup 😆 my wife did that to me a few weeks ago ..$120 and it was all mimosa 😭
139 plus tax. No thanks
The lobster looks delicious!
Lobsters were cooked well and the nice thing is you can have many of them 😋
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO THIS IS CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE GREAT REVIEW
That is such a beautiful area!
Quiero felicitarte por tu canal y cada delicioso video, muy bien grabado,como disfrutas la comida,me encanta como explicas todo,los sabores,los paisajes,hasta los anuncios los relatas tan entretenidos y como dices siempre tengo hambre cuando veo tus videos ja ja y como algo rico yo también por aqui y soñando con algún día comer esa deliciosa comida de mar que en mi cuidad no hay ,saludos y que siga creciendo tu canal!!!
Thank you so much for reaching out and warmest greetings to you from vancouver! Thank you again for your kind comment 😃
I commented too soon, everything looks amazingly delicious! Great video.😊
Really glad to see that after the whole ordeal over the last few years that they are back and just as good as it was 😋
I don't know if the place is still open but it was a all you can eat buffet in Charlestown RI if its still open you should check it out
Wish one of the networks would give you your own daytime show. No politics, no swearing, no negativity, just fun!
Just like Mr. Rogers? But for the Chinese.
@@hirolla74Mr. Rogers represented everyone, just like Tim Lee.
Just to put it out there, I'll work for food 😉
Looks like heaven there. 😊❤
Agreed! Kinda like a seafood heaven😉
I love your videos!!!!!!!!
Ooooh looks like very delicious! Wow
Really enjoyable evening there and extra special to see all the people there again 😃
I just got a year pass to Universal Studios! I could definitely stop off here afterwards one day. Thanks for the great video! Almost at 100K! Exciting!
Wow! A year's pass! That sounds amazing and definitely good opportunity to have a great meal here 😋
Tim, that seafood looks yummy, 😋😋😋
I can't believe how big the king crab legs were😋
Another Rocking video
Thank you so much 😀
You are wonderful to watch ❤
Thank you so much🙏
Hi Tim, hope you are doing well 🤗? I remember this place 3 yrs ago...this seafood buffet, I would pay $139 for 😋😊...it gives you a lot more shellfish selections to choose from 😉...enjoy buddy, safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Thank you Jade! I guess things are getting more and more expensive everywhere and it is quite a good deal with all the seafood 😋
Another fun video, Tim!! I have been there years ago and it was excellent, but @ $139 I will have to save it for a very special occasion. I am intrigued at creating a sushi hand roll dessert...start with a chocolate tweel filled with fruit and perhaps a mousse concoction? Anyway, thanks again and God bless!
Things certainly has gone up! That would have been a great idea for the hand rule.. dessert style 😋
Hi Tim what a wonderful buffet. I hope you enjoy.🧐👏👍🏻🤩😋
Thank you so much. It was a very nice experience and would highly recommend if you’re in the area, though it is pricey.😀
@@TimLeeLetsGo I live in Orlando Florida, as you went there, before which was Boston Lobster Feast but if I was at LA Area I’d definitely eat there :)
Wife and I are huge seafood buffet lovers. We've noticed the decline of the big king crab legs post covid in the L.A. area. Your worldly buffets are amazing to watch. We live just north of L.A. and now plan to eat at Cafe Sierra soon.
I do inquire about why buffets don't include king crab and lobsters anymore and most places mentioned not the prices skyrocketed in the last year. Glad to see it coming back.. slowly 😃
Looks MUCH better than Vegas Buffets.
Also alaska cut quotas on crab not too long ago . Hopefully temporary. This is a good thing long term so like lobster stays sustainable. I could live at the oyster lamb rib, etc statations and wait till crab pops bloom, they will. I want a soft shell blue " burger" double crab , 2 poached eggs or 4, runny and a half stick garlic butter! Like now! Gonna go make a toasted cheese with mayo to quiet my tummy. And runny eggs! Got like 4 packs of muenster on sale 75% off. My favorite.
Btw cheese sealed rarely goes bad and ill eat mold if it smells ok. Most harmless but can always cut out and my dogs dont notice and 100000x our sniff power. Dog dont touch it neither should us! Never happens here at home and no illnesses from food. Think b4 you toss! Actually may boost gut biome. Wash down with kraut, pickles or kim chee. Or all 3!
Whooooooooooooaaa it all looked Delish++++
Oh, there was so much Seafood there 😋
I've never had fried crab before. I've gotta try some.
So thank you so much! Anything deep fried is great especially the crab and the catfish 😋
Seafood looks yummy
I can confirm that they were very tasty and huge😀
Doun toot for loster mixed w/ Clam chowder from a can ?
Congrats Tim on your imminent success on achieving 100k subscribers.
Thank you so much 🙂. A lot of fun thanks to this CZcams community 😃
Wow, lobsters and and all items so delicious. Is the buffet all year round? Thanks.
I believe they are all year-round and for now, they are available on Saturdays and Sunday Bruch. Best to call to confirm though...
god bless america
Agreed! 😃
Agree with comments. Tim you are such a KIND man . Had a bad day but YOU are uplifting to viewers and the staff . Your positive attitude lifts everyone in a cloud of peace and happiness. You derserve everything good in life and ill watch and rewatch you as never a negative vibe just grateful nice guy. Totally believe you. You make people happy no matter what. Either great raising or you were born as a outstanding human, not just anyone has your natural talent and love for your audience and employees. Really enjoy your detailed accurate reports!. Always a greeting, thank you , compliment. Hope your life blessed forever.
do you have to tour the park to enter the and eat at the buffet?
No, the restaurant is actually outside the park so anyone can go in.
