Milpitas Buffet

Milpitas Buffet Menu Updated 2026

Party tray prices first, then what sits on each of the six stations. Dishes rotate between shifts, so treat this as what to expect rather than a fixed menu card.

Menu with prices: party trays

These are the restaurant's large tray prices for birthdays, family gatherings and office events. The all-you-can-eat buffet itself is charged per person, and lunch, dinner and weekend rates differ. See the price per person guide for the current ranges, or call the restaurant for today's rate.

Fried Items

The section most families order from for parties. Everything here loses its crunch on the drive, so time pickup close to when you plan to eat.

ItemTray price
Egg Roll$25
Fried Chicken Wings$30
Chicken Nuggets$25
Sweet & Sour Chicken$30
Fried Imitation Crab$30
Fried Scallops$30
Fried Fish Fillets$35
Tempura Shrimp$35
Fried Cheese Wonton$25
Mini Donut$15
Sesame Balls$25
Pot Stickers$35

Chicken & Duck

Most chicken trays sit at one flat price, so pick by flavour rather than budget. Duck is the outlier.

ItemTray price
Asparagus Chicken$35
Mushroom Chicken$35
Orange Chicken$35
Spicy Chicken$35
Roast Chicken$35
Duck$60

Beef & Pork

Rib trays are the priciest items outside seafood and duck. They travel well because the glaze keeps the meat moist.

ItemTray price
Korean Beef$45
Broccoli Beef$35
Beef$35
BBQ Pork Rib$45
BBQ Beef Rib$50

Vegetables

Every vegetable tray costs the same, which makes this the cheapest way to round out a catering order.

ItemTray price
Asparagus$25
Green Beans$25
Mixed Vegetables$25
Tofu$25

Noodles & Rice

Order one starch tray for roughly every two protein trays. Steamed rice is the cheapest item on the whole list.

ItemTray price
Vegetable Rice Noodle$25
Vegetable Lo Mein$25
Fried Rice$20
Steamed Rice$10

Seafood

The widest and most expensive section. Shellfish prices move with the market, so confirm before ordering for a party.

ItemTray price
Baby Squid$40
Crab$45
Crawfish$40
Mussels$40
Octopus$40
Sole Fish$40
Salt & Pepper Squid$40
Salt & Pepper Shrimp$45
Seafood Combination$40
Tilapia Fish$40
Frog Leg$55
Jumbo Clam$50
Sushi Combo$40

What is on the buffet line

All six stations run under the single per-person price. Nothing below carries an extra charge.

Seafood Bar

The section most people come for, and the one that empties fastest on a Friday or Saturday night.

  • Snow crab legs

    Steamed plainly rather than heavily seasoned, so the meat tastes sweet instead of salty. Regulars watch for a fresh tray and go straight over when one lands.

  • Raw oysters

    Shucked and served on ice with lemon and cocktail sauce. Availability moves with the season and the market.

  • Crawfish

    Steamed and seasoned. Messy, hands-on eating, so pick up extra napkins on the way past the drink station.

  • Jumbo clams and steamed fish

    Black bean clams and fish fillets under a light soy dressing. Both sit on the calmer end of the bar.

  • Mussels and shrimp

    Green mussels and shell-on shrimp round out the cold side of the bar.

Sushi & Cold Bar

Cut through the shift rather than laid out once, so the selection differs between an early lunch and a late dinner.

  • Maki rolls

    California, spicy tuna, and rainbow rolls make up most of the tray. Vegetarian rolls such as avocado and cucumber usually sit alongside them.

  • Sashimi and combo plates

    Sliced fish and pre-made combination plates. Earlier in a meal period tends to mean more variety.

  • Cold sides

    Seaweed salad, edamame, and salad bar items for anyone building a lighter first plate.

Mongolian Grill

The only station where your food is cooked after you order it. That also makes it the one with a line.

  • Pick your protein

    Chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp, taken raw from the ingredient counter into your own bowl.

  • Add vegetables and noodles

    Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and stir-fry noodles.

  • Choose sauces

    Soy, garlic, and chili oil, added by you before the bowl goes to the chef. Go lighter than you think, since the sauce reduces on the griddle.

  • Cooked on the flat top

    The chef tosses everything on a large circular griddle. Expect roughly ten to fifteen minutes once a queue forms.

Hot Entrées

Classic American-Chinese cooking, refilled in smaller pans through lunch and dinner rather than held all shift.

  • Orange chicken

    Fried chicken in a sweet citrus glaze. Usually the first hot tray to need refilling on a family night.

  • Honey walnut prawns and salt and pepper shrimp

    The two shrimp dishes people mention most often after the crab legs.

  • BBQ pork and beef ribs

    Glazed and cooked long enough to pull off the bone. Rich, so most people take two or three pieces.

  • Roast duck and steamed buns

    Duck meat from the steamers paired with plain bao. Easy to miss if you only walk the front of the line.

  • Teriyaki chicken and skewers

    Grilled chicken and charred skewers next to the live cooking station.

Comfort Food & Sides

The section that keeps children and picky eaters happy while the rest of the table works through seafood.

  • Fried chicken wings

    Both plain fried and buffalo style appear depending on the shift. Several reviewers rate them above the seafood.

  • Chow mein

    Stir-fried egg noodles seasoned simply with soy and aromatics. The plate anchor most tables come back to.

  • Fried rice and french fries

    Plus onion rings and egg rolls for anyone building a plate of familiar food.

  • Vegetable stir-fries and tofu

    Green beans, asparagus, and mixed vegetables in light garlic sauce, with tofu dishes alongside.

Dessert & Fruit

Small and simple rather than elaborate, and busiest in the last half hour of a family dinner.

  • Self-serve soft serve

    Vanilla and chocolate. The single most popular thing in the section, particularly with children.

  • Seasonal fruit

    Cut fruit that changes through the year. The lightest way to finish after a seafood-heavy meal.

  • Bite-size pastries

    Mini cakes, tarts, sesame balls, and egg tarts on a rotating tray.

  • Grilled corn

    Sweet corn on the cob turns up near the dessert end on some shifts.

Sunday brunch

  • Mimosas are poured during Sunday brunch service.
  • Live music plays in the dining room, which makes the room louder than a weekday lunch.
  • Large family groups book this slot, so arriving before noon is the difference between walking in and waiting.

Dietary and food safety information

A buffet works differently from a table-service kitchen. Food sits on an open line, serving utensils move between trays, and the same fryers and woks handle several ingredients through a shift. That changes what guests with allergies and dietary restrictions need to check before eating.

Allergy notice

Cross-contact is possible at any open buffet, including this one. Shellfish is served across the seafood bar, the sushi bar, and the hot line. Peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, soy, wheat, egg, and dairy all appear in sauces, coatings, and desserts, and honey walnut prawns place nuts and shellfish in the same dish. Shared tongs, shared fryer oil and the flat-top grill can move traces between items even when a dish contains no allergen itself.

If an allergy in your group is severe, speak with the restaurant staff before serving yourself and ask about the ingredients and preparation of the dishes you plan to eat. Nothing on this page should be treated as an ingredient list or as medical advice.

Vegetarian options

Usually available, though the exact dishes rotate by shift.

  • Garlic green beans, asparagus, and mixed vegetable stir-fries on the hot line
  • Tofu dishes prepared with spices and greens
  • Salad bar, seaweed salad, and edamame at the cold bar
  • Vegetarian sushi rolls such as avocado and cucumber
  • Fried rice, lo mein, vegetable rice noodles, and steamed rice
  • Fresh fruit, soft serve, and pastries at the dessert station

Vegan options

Fewer, and worth confirming with staff before you build a plate.

  • Steamed rice and plain vegetable stir-fries without egg or dairy
  • Fresh fruit and a salad bar built from raw vegetables
  • Edamame and seaweed salad from the cold bar
  • A vegetables-only bowl at the Mongolian grill with soy and garlic
  • Ask about oyster sauce, fish sauce, chicken stock, and egg, which appear in several dishes that look plant-based

Strict vegans should be aware that fish sauce, oyster sauce, chicken stock, and egg turn up in dishes that look plant-based, and that fried vegetables often share oil with seafood and meat. The Mongolian grill is the most controllable option, since you pick every ingredient yourself and can ask for a clean section of the griddle.

Frequently asked questions

Are the prices on this page the buffet price?
No. That table is for large party trays ordered for events. The all-you-can-eat buffet is charged per person, and the rate differs between lunch, dinner and weekends. Call the restaurant for today's price.
Can I get snow crab legs at lunch?
Often, though the widest seafood spread comes out at dinner and on weekends. Call ahead if crab is the main reason you are coming.
Are there vegetarian options?
Yes. Garlic green beans, asparagus, mixed vegetables, tofu dishes, a salad bar and vegetarian sushi rolls. The grill chef will also cook a vegetables-only bowl to order.
Can I order trays for a party at home?
Yes. Trays run from about $10 to $60 depending on the dish and size. Order at the counter or by phone with a headcount and a pickup time.
Does the menu change?
The six stations stay the same, but individual dishes rotate with the season, the shift and what is selling. A weekday lunch will not match a Saturday dinner exactly.
