Cafe Sierra | Seafood Buffet 555 Universal Hollywood Drive, Universal City, CA 91608

"We went at dinner for AYCE king crabs and maine lobster ($149 per person). Although seafood was their main attraction, this is basically an International food buffet with anything I could think of. They had every cuisine and plenty of dessert that I wish I had two stomach. The seafood and desserts are great and I love them, however, most of the cooked food were quite dried like they were heated for a long time. The dimsum was great though. Overall, I like it but I’ll love it if the cooked food was not dried. Service was great. Free flow drinks included in the price including alcohol. Parking is hotel valet or self park. The location is very close to universal studio. You can also take free shuttle bus from there."

"I went here for the first time yesterday, for my friend's birthday. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. They had lobster, crab, various kinds of shrimp, oysters, caviar, lamb, prime rib, mac n cheese, pizza, omelet station, pancake and waffle station, sushi, dessert bar, ice cream bar, chocolate fountains, boba teas, etc. I listened to their live music and ate and was done for the day. What an awesome restaurant and staff! I can't wait to return for another trip. ❤️"

"Quite a luxurious dining experience. valet parking is a real time saver. no waiting in line, was seated immediately. food was fresh, but the lobster was boiled then tossed in murky water. I would prefer it if it was left on a steamer. it's somewhat pricey, but the food is worth it. It comes with unlimited wine."

"I took my mom here for her birthday brunch and we had the best time! When we arrived we had to wait in a line even though we had a reservation for 11am on a Sunday. It was about a 10-15 minute wait. The host wished my mom a happy birthday and so did the waiter Ishmael when we were seated. Ishmael was the best…very nice and attentive. There was soooo much food! I was set on getting the seafood which included crab legs, lobster, baked lobster, oysters, shrimp, and so much more. There was also breakfast, meat carving stations, dessert stations, lamb chops, bone marrow, salads, soups….Everything you want they had. Even though there were a lot of people, it was never a line to get your food. The workers were always cleaning to make sure everything was top notch. The mimosas were flowing nonstop. The musician was playing music and it was the perfect Sunday. Ishmael even brought a birthday cake out to my mom while the musician played happy birthday. It was my first time here since the pandemic and even though it’s pricey, I would come again. I can't wait to come back with my girlfriends for a girls day. Please note-The parking is the same as the hotel parking. Make sure to validate at the restaurant because when we left they tried to charge me $49.50 and I had to go all the way back inside and get it validated so I could pay only $13.20"
