They had a lot of different items from lunch like the sashimi and seafood that really upgraded the experience. I really like the Chinese food selection being a bit more authentic than a normal buffet. There's some unique dishes here that you can't find at other Chinese buffets. Service is good, they're refilling drinks and providing anything asked fairly quickly. It does get a bit messy but with the amount of people, it's expected. Will definitely be back when I'm feeling really hungry!

The atmosphere is casual, trendy, and spacious with large seating capacity and individual hot pot setups. Approximately $36 to $38 per person for the full all-you-can-eat experience covering BBQ, hot pot, sushi, and hot buffet options. A more budget-friendly weekday lunch option is available starting at around $24 per person. Good variety of raw meats for table grilling, including marinated pork belly, short ribs (galbi), bulgogi, and angus steak. Individual broths with an extensive self-serve station featuring diverse mushrooms, vegetables, bean curd skin, noodles, and seafood options. Includes a rolling selection of nigiri, sashimi, specialty rolls, crab legs, and hot prepared Chinese/Cajun dishes, alongside a dessert bar with ice cream and pastries.

Once inside, you enter the best of what Korean BBQ has to offer. It's no wonder this establishment keeps growing - a new Commack location is imminent. No need to fear about speaking English - the staff speak better English than me! Speaking of staff - Nick was our server for a large group ranging from infant to senior citizens. He was patient with our many questions about the different types of meat and was ever attentive to all of our needs, both young and old. Nick was so good, we had the manager (who had just finished her shift and was walking in the parking lot) return to the restaurant so that we could let her know how great Nick was!

There aren't vents above the grills so the smoke can get on you and in your way (my friend was coughing and sweating a lot every time the smoke blew her way...). We tried the pork spicy bulgogi, spicy chicken, and chicken breast (plain). The marinades ran far too sweet for my likely so I ended up preferring the plain chicken and also didn't think the marinades were spicy enough. The spicy tofu soup was a great side option to have. The banchan were also all slightly too sweet for me, the soybean sprouts were my favorite mainly because they were not overly sweetened. The radish, daikon, and kimchi were all way too sweet and really tolerable for a couple bites. Also tried the grilled vegetables and bibimbap bowl for some additional veggies and rice. The service is quite good and their staff will help grill and check in on your food so you can focus on eating. The music here is a tad loud but you can still have a conversation. Per person cost was nearly $50 so it exceeded $60 per person with tip. Would only recommend if you can tolerate sweet marinades and can get your money's worth for that base cost.

They had a wide variety of options, including sushi, sashimi, soups, vegetables, chicken, and sweet and spicy crab legs. I especially enjoyed the crab soup, which was flavorful and comforting. There was also a large selection of salads if you wanted something lighter. Of course, I had to save room for dessert, so I finished with cake and fresh fruit. I appreciated having so many choices beyond sushi rolls, especially for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. For the price, the selection was impressive, and it's a great option when you're craving sushi but want plenty of variety. Definitely worth checking out for an affordable AYCE lunch!

Finally revisited Mizumi on Northern Blvd after many years, hoping to satisfy our sushi cravings…read more Instead, about an hour later, I was satisfying my bathroom's occupancy requirements... Let me backtrack. My wife and I arrived exactly at 12:06 PM on a weekday. The staff greeted us warmly, the place was clean and organized just like I remembered, and yes, they have high chairs for the little ones. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. Usually with AYCE, there's at least one or two dishes that make you think, "Yep, I'm going back for this." Here, nothing really stood out as delicious. They have some interesting creations, including sushi made with pesto rice, and many rolls have a Western-fusion twist. Creative? Definitely. Delicious? Not quite there for me. The hot food was okay, although some of the fried items were aggressively salty. I thought, "Let me cleanse my palate with some warm miso soup." NOPE. That was salty too. The bulgogi and kalbi were also noticeably on the sweeter side. The Korean-style wings had soggy skin. Then came the raw oyster. It did not taste fresh at all. I took half a bite, swallowed some, and immediately knew something was wrong. I had to spit out the rest. The unfreshness hit me faster than a New Yorker rushing for the subway. I spent the next hour praying I wouldn't get KO'd in the bathroom. Unfortunately, prayer was not answered. And this was my first meal of the day, so I'm pretty confident it wasn't anything else I ate beforehand. We tried to end lunch on a sweet note with the strawberry ice cream. Sadly, it tasted very artificial. At this point, I was just looking for something, ANYTHING, to redeem the meal. And the winner of the day was... The GREEN TEA in a tea bag. Seriously. That was the thing I genuinely enjoyed the most. I really wanted to love this revisit, but between the underwhelming food and the oyster experience that sent me on an unexpected bathroom adventure, I'm giving Mizumi 2 stars. Maybe it was just an off day, but I'm not sure my stomach is brave enough for a sequel.

We popped in for an early evening meal at Sakura, Japanese restaurant in Long Island…read more After selecting the all you can eat option, we were seated at a large table with plenty of room for what we ordered. We selected items from a tablet which showed pictures and descriptions of the menu.. Be careful when ordering, as soon press the "add" button. The order is selected and sent to the kitchen. I place four orders os chicken w/broccoli before the waitress corrected the order. Vegetable spring rolls and fried oysters opened up our appetites. The short ribs were a bit chewy but delicious. Braised baby boy choy glistened in a white teriyaki glaze with crispy garlic and sesame seeds. Shrimp with broccoli was piled high with jumbo shrimp and and tender broccoli. Udon beef noodle soup had the right amout of spice and pepper. Chewy green tea mochi ice cream was sweet enough to cleanse the palette without being overly sugary. So many options, so little time. Drop in no later than 8pm if you want the full experience.

I just loved this innovative ordering and having the dishes delivered straight to my table was a win for a germaphobe. That was until new owners took over, then it was just awful. The food was greasy, and tasteless. The shrimp and soup dumplings had that god awful refrigerator taste. After going a few times, the bad food and the unfriendly faces just stopped me from going back. Recently, I was out with friends who wanted to try Sakura. I was not thrilled but being a team player, I decided to go. I am happy to say that the food quality has improved. Most dishes were good, not as good as the last owners but hey they are getting there. There was a limit on sashimi (30) and a limit on desserts (1) but with all the other options, I don't need more. The atmosphere is still unfriendly but they are trying. The service has gotten better but don't expect a smile when they deliver your food. As for me, I was just happy to have solid food that came out hot and was tasty. I will definitely give Sakura another shot and hopefully they get better and better.

We came on a Friday night close to 6:30 PM, and it was already pretty full, but thankfully we did not have to wait. Like other people have said in the reviews, I feel like the food was all fresh, and I really liked that they tried to keep it on ice. There's also a huge sauce selection, and I also appreciate that they had soft serve ice cream as well. It's $25 per person as of September 2026, but of course, if you get meat as well as any other beverages, those are additional costs. With tip, for two of us, the total ended up being closer to $100. But both of us felt like it was a really good amount of food for what we paid, and the experience was nice. They also had music playing, so it was kind of fun to dance along in our seats while we were eating. I can definitely see us making more trips here, especially in the colder months!

I wasn't sure how I felt about paying a base price and then meat by the plate, but I actually prefer it! The veggies were all so fresh, and there were many choices of veggies, fishcake, and noodles. Our server, Susi, gave such great service. She took our initial meat order. checked on us regularly to see if we needed more water, fill our hot pot when the broth was running low, and made just enough small talk to make us feel welcome and taken care of. She explained the way things work when we first sat down, and let us know when the buffet was closing soon. The restaurant was very clean, overall very well run, and dessert (ice cream and dole whip) was the cherry on top! I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Hempstead.

They offer DIY hibachi, selection of sushi and the general fusion American, Chinese, & Spanish dishes. Some of the solid dishes here are the hibachi grill section, calamari, sauteed black bean clams, fried green beans, teriyaki chicken, garlic bread, lemon pickled chicken feet, sauteed veggies, and the cheesy creamed spinach. You pay first and then hand your receipt to the 2nd front desk person who will take you to your table. You ideally would leave tip at the end of service there. Hot/iced water is free, and purchased drinks are unlimited. The buffet is in a strip mall with a dollar tree, discount store of amazon returns (go go mart), pure gym (what used to be blink), and some other stores. It is a tad far from queens but a cheaper buffet than other buffets. This is more about value than quality. Worth a try for quantity!

Our favorite was the beef and general tao's chicken. There's only one guy at the sushi table and the plates that the sushi were on had so much condensation/water on the plates.

The only thing that bothered me was how sticky everything was... the tables, the bathroom was sticky and dirty... For the price, the experience is decent. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

Global Buffet is a huge restaurants inside a large brick building and is hard to miss. There is plenty of parking as it sits in a large shopping area. We came on a random weekday and I was surprised how busy this place was. We were a slightly large group so it did take a minute for them to put some tables together. Customer service was great from start to finish. Our table stayed clean and our drinks stayed full. My uncle footed the bill, but I glanced at the prices and they are very reasonable here. The buffet setup is massive. I've honestly only seen bigger in Vegas. They had about 3 rows of foods. On top of that, off to the side, they have salad and dessert bars, a hibachi station, and a large sushi station. As the name of the restaurant suggests, the offerings are truly global. They have a variety of different cuisines but the main focus is Chinese food. I had a flight to catch after this meal so I took it a little easy on my intake. I started off with sushi. For a buffet, the sushi was actually pretty decent. Set your expectations correctly and you will enjoy it. Everything else I tried throughout the buffet was good. No complaints from anyone in our party. Overall, for a Chinese buffet, this spot was not bad at all. I wouldn't seek it out or feel compelled to come back, but would not complain if the family brought us back here again.

I use to really like this place but after today, I won't be back. The buffet use to have high quality and fresh food but that was about 10 years ago. Nowadays, it's overly priced and the quality and variety just doesn't match up. No lobster, no higher end meats, etc. The steak that they do offer, was very tough to chew. For a place that charges so much, only offers mediocre food at best. You walk out there feeling ripped off. The service was attentive and very thorough though. No complaints there. If you're thinking about coming here for dinner, make sure to skip this place.
