I have eaten in Cuban restaurants, but have never experienced a Cuban buffet. Everything was so beautifully and colorfully presented and I could at least experience vicariously the deliciousness of it all.
Agreed Tanya, the music was quite festive and I can totally see that happening (if it wasn't at 9am in the morning) :-) We went for the early seating... All the best!
Thank you again Claire and hope you're doing well. Actually it was not shown in the video, but we had so many of their coffees, all of which were very good 😃
Hi dear! This was a new video for me to watch! Fun! You know? I bet your friends just love being with you! You’re so nice and seem like you’re a great friend who brings grace to the friendship! That’s really cool! Thanks for filming this adventure! Watching in 2022❣️Blessings to you always! ♥️☮️🕉‼️🌟😍😘
Thank you so much Pahanin, sorry for the late reply; work has been crazy busy. Much appreciated and just having fun with the channel with all the interaction. All the best to you!
Thanks so much for reaching out. Just having fun exploring and really enjoyed Long Beach as well! Hopefully we can find some great places :-) Thank you and all the best to you :-)
I love the atmosphere. Absolutely beautiful and matches the delicious looking foods too. I'm thinking this might be one of your best locations Tim :) What a cool idea to serve bacon chips 🤩 You never disappoint our expectations. Thanks for this yummy episode. Best, James and Kim
Wassup Tim! God bless you and the oxtail too... the poor ox probably won't agree, you know milling around without a tail. But nonetheless another sweet video! See you in your next vlog and thanks as always for sharing everything with us. 😲😆😋😉😎🍺
Hi Tim im so happy you love my heritage foods...Cuban food here looked really authentic. Thanks for serving. Oxtail is really something from my childhood ❤
Thanks Linda, I didn't realize that ox tail is such a big part of Cuban cuisine and I can see why :-) We had an amazing time and can't wait to try more...hmm... I can see Miami might be a nice place to visit :-)
What an awesome venue. I love the rustic feeling. Muffins and rolls in suitcases. Never would have thought about that. Was surprised you didn't ask for the fatiest cut of that carved meat. Lol 😉Thanks for the ride Tim. Happy 2020.
Thanks Diane, that place was pretty impressive their their setup... really well decorated and food was very good too. Thanks again and hope you are doing well. Cheers :-)
Absolutely gorgeous food,once again one of my bosses is in the vicinity so shall be directing him and his entourage to Habanna Restaurant,thanks for this.
You asians eat anything. Why can't you lot stop eating crab etc. You wont be happy until there is no living thing left in the sea. Just pure greed makes me fuming!
@@kentteamparanormal6023 You sir sound like an uniformed idiot ....... there are PLENTY of people who eat things from the sea and to pick on ppl cause of what they traditionally like to eat makes you sound like a moron . I am from Canada on the east coast and our staple is fish ! You sound uneducated and racist. QUIT IT
I heard about this place but totally forgot about it when I was in LA ..how can you go wrong with a buffet that has 🥥 drink .. everything looks delicious ..can't wait to try this place the next time I'm in Cali ..thanks Tim for another amazing buffet video 😀👍
I would have a filled day I would have so much fun there Tim my favorite food I saw on the Video was Breakfast my mouth is literally watering. That food looks AMAZING.
Hey Marcel, it was a lot of fun indeed. Pleasantly surprised as it was a very nice find and an enjoyable outing.. Thanks again and all the best to you :-)
Thanks Charly, hope you get a chance to try. By the way, someone pointed out that Irvine isn't actually in LA, but in OC.. will fix the thumbnail soon... Also trying to look for great places in OC as well :-) All the best to you.
Tim Lee FYI After further review, Habana has another location in Costa Mesa which is not too far away from Irvine Spectrum. I’ve had a nice dinner before with my brother at the Costa Mesa location. Apparently they do a Sunday Brunch at Costa Mesa as well. Yes Orange County is technically not Los Angeles but it’s all Southern California. We are lacking when it come to Buffets.
Hey Tim, great job finding this restaurant and reviewing the brunch buffet!! If I can, I'll make my way over there someday. I wonder what is on their regular menu, because I'm sure it will blow me away as well.😄 Again, great job. I'm excited to see what you review next. 👍
Thanks so much... I should've checked their regular menu, but the brunch buffet was very enjoyable... Hope you all can make it one of these days.. All the best to you!
Wow! This looked great! What a selection. Really nice setting as well. I’d take this over most of the Vegas buffets. In fact, it would be interesting if Vegas themed their buffets like they used to.... well, there’s always Paris Casino! Haha! I’ll have to check out this buffet next visit to California.
Great point Rick! Yeah, the Vegas buffets are quite similar to each other, not too much variety. We really enjoyed Habana as it was something quite unique...and tasty 😋
Thank you Tim for taking us along with you on this wonderful vlog. About a year ago I discovered this restaurant by accident, since then I’ve ALWAYS wanted to check it out, well! Guess where I’ll be going for my birthday, you got it! 👍🏼 I live in the Ventura county, but I will make that drive 😆😆 again, thank you Tim 👍🏼😊
Thank you,Tim for more great eats! Everything looked amazing. Missing my oysters,though! I love tres leche cake. Had it for my Birthday last year. Merrill💞
Hi Merrill, sorry for the late reply; work has been crazy busy lately. Yeah, that was my first time having a really nice tres leche cake. Very tasty for sure :-P
Ox tails, yum. I knew you would like those . They are melt in your mouth goodness when cooked properly with a little fat on them. I would probably hurt myself trying to taste all the delicious food. Next time I go to LA I am definitely going there. The price is amazing too. What more could you ask for. Good one Tim. Thanks
Thanks again Juanda and hope you're doing well. It was a surprising find and really grateful they recommended the ox tail; all the items were very good especially the coffee :-) Hope you get a chance to try on your next visit! Take care :-)
I came according your buffet RU-vid post of the BC Ferries post. It came helpful. I will try it next time I am taking BC Ferries when I am again in BC.I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for putting time in creating such videos. How do you manage to eat everything. I don’t know if they have many in Europe. If you ever get to Europe I would enjoy buffet videos. I would be really curious if you try something from Belgium. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for reaching out.... It would be amazing to visit Europe and hopefully this will be viable in the not too distant future 🙂. It's funny, I'm noticing I don't tend to gain much weight even with all the foods at the buffet, but just being isolated lately seems to be packing on the pounds🙂. Thank you again.
Great vlog. Thanks for including the prices. Would like to know the hours of operation. The more you do the more I like your vlog. Your growing with your content and it shows. Thank you and happy new year
Thanks so much yun choi! I believe they start at 9am and if you get there before 10:30 or 11am, you get the early seating price. A very happy new year to you and yours too!
Very nice. Something different in the way of an eatery. I have watched many of your videos and I have noticed you are the only person recording visits to buffets that likes to include the people working there are naming them. Interesting touch. jmo
I make a pretty good Oxtail Stew. However I am going to try roasting some. The roasted parsnips look to be another to make. Ahh bacon chips. Usually I duck out at dessert. Good place. Best
The early brunch is now $39. We went there after watching your video. The food was great! Also, the buffet (main dishes) was moved indoors, nothing was served outside.
This looks amazing! What hours do they operate the buffet? It looks like every dish you showed they were always so clean and fresh! Is this reservation only?
Thanks so much again! I think they start at 9am. I believe if you get there before 10:30 or 11am, you get the early seating price which is quite nice :-) I also does get quite busy later in the day so early is a good choice. I would make a reservation just in case (we made a reservation).
I stopped watching when you put down your plate on the table. lol My mouth was watering already. I love to try that Cuban buffet next time when I'm in San Diego. That simple style paella and pork ribs is to die for. Be right back after I eat at Burger King. hahaha
Hi Tim, great channel and selection of places you’ve visited, very informative. It would be great to see you collab with sayhitomatthew one day for an ultimate food video in Vegas or somewhere.
Hi Mustafa, thank you for your kind comment and a big fan of Matthew as well 🙂. Hopefully our timing can be aligned in the near future. Work is keeping me crazy busy and hoping to get a bit of respite so that I can visit with Matthew and Derek as well 🙂
