In the early 1990s, the city of Montebello, California, was rapidly growing, with families looking for new dining experiences that offered both variety and affordability. It was during this time that a visionary entrepreneur, David Wong, saw an opportunity. Inspired by his travels across Asia and his deep appreciation for diverse flavors, he dreamed of creating a restaurant where guests could enjoy an endless feast of global cuisines under one roof.

In 1998, Paradise Buffet Montebello opened its doors, quickly becoming a beloved dining destination for locals and visitors alike. Unlike traditional buffets, David focused on quality and freshness, ensuring that each dish—from Asian stir-fries to American barbecue—was prepared with care. His secret? A team of talented chefs from different cultural backgrounds, each bringing their expertise to the table.

As the years passed, the restaurant expanded its offerings. A seafood section was introduced, featuring crab legs, shrimp, and freshly grilled fish, drawing seafood lovers from across Los Angeles County. The sushi bar, once a small experiment, became a signature attraction, with skilled sushi chefs crafting rolls to order.

Despite the challenges faced by restaurants over the years, including economic downturns and the global pandemic, Paradise Buffet Montebello remained a cornerstone of the community. David’s philosophy of “serving with heart” kept loyal customers coming back. Even as new buffet chains emerged, none could match the warmth and authenticity of Paradise Buffet.

Today, Paradise Buffet Montebello stands as a testament to David Wong’s vision—a place where families and friends gather to share meals, celebrate moments, and enjoy an endless variety of flavors from around the world.
