Tasty Buffet, a buffet restaurant at 840 Gray Ave. in Yuba City, is changing hands. State records show that Yuting Chen is taking over the restaurant, with the transfer currently pending.

The new owner’s records list the business under the same name, Tasty Buffet, so the restaurant appears set to keep operating under its current identity. Nothing has been announced about changes to the menu or the way the restaurant is run, and no date has been given for the handover.

The restaurant is built around a wide-ranging buffet that blends American and Chinese dishes with a sushi bar. The spread includes BBQ ribs, a salad bar and seafood such as salt and pepper shrimp and crawfish, along with Chinese favorites such as orange chicken, chow mein and pot stickers. Guests also mention Mongolian barbecue and mini sushi rolls. 

This is the second ownership change at the restaurant in under three years. It was previously taken over by Liang Chen in February 2024. The restaurant employs about 18 people, according to a business directory. Tasty Buffet is one of several buffet and Asian restaurants in Yuba City, where restaurants along Gray Avenue serve residents of the Yuba-Sutter area. The business hasn’t shared details about its menu or its new owner.

This report is based on records from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
