Default SEAFOOD BUFFETS in socal

I'm craving shrimp, lobster, crabs, sushi, oysters, clams, etc. I want to know if there's any gurus out there that can recommend me a bomb all u can eat seafood place.

Todai gets the job done, but it's pretty lame as far as how fat of a sushi slice u get and the lacks the pungent taste of raw fish - semi frozen / just from a bad dealer (most socal fish restaurants get fish from same distributors). Todai is a joke. their crabs and lobsters are half filled, unhealthy, and salty as FUUUU.

Places like boiling crab and stuff have a cool concept and extremely heavy duty sauces (it's what makes the food different and hids all the unfreshness... but ur getting the same stuff u'd get anywhere else that's mediocre). overall it's a ripoff but fun. I dont care about fun, I don't care about wearing bibs. i just wanna eat.

I'm looking for high quality place similar to brazillian buffets like agora (irvine), fogo de chao (near LA), green field (long beach) but instead of meat, it's all seafood.

lmk. I'm down to drive anywhere in southern california. i don't care about price

im in search for THE BEST, THE MOST BALLER, THE MOST CRAZIEST all u can eat seafood buffet. so lmk.

I like Osaka in Brea. They offer Mongolian bbq, bbq, chinese food and of course sushi. For $9.99 AYCE you cant beat that.

Also if you like KBBQ few of my favorite places to eat is Ma Dang Sae in Lakewood and Flower Pig in Garden Grove. Both $9.99 as well.

Osaka sounds bomb. I gotta try it.

If you want some of the best All You Can Eat sushi in SoCal, go to Sushi Asahi in Riverside, off of Van Buren. HOLY ****... that place is insane. The quality is off-the-charts, atmosphere kicks ass, the sushi is fresh off the boat (NEVER a bad roll), and the taste... ah, it's to die for. You can order raw cuts of whatever fish you want. It's one of the best places I've ever eaten at.
