    I have eaten here since the restaurant has opened, I believe in 2018. It used to be a Goodwill Thrift Store. The food selections are many. Asian ad well as American. Lots of seafood's to choose from. Octopus, shrimp, coca butter, in shell, no shell, steamed, butterfly, crayfish, clams, mussels, imitation crab, and crab legs, fish, calimari, and more. Broccoli steak, mushrooms, chicken, pizza, toasted breads, soups, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always great prices, great food, great service, great atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely love it here! And so will you too!

    Food was decent service was good and the prices are worth it nice owner always in the front when serving i believe

    I came in for lunch with already modest expectations -- after all, it's a Chinese buffet. Unfortunately, this place somehow managed to fall below even those low standards. Amazing. One staff member was more focused on rearranging the five remaining pieces of cold chicken skewers than actually refilling the trays. The same went for the wings and several other items -- clearly left sitting too long and barely warm. The sushi section was particularly concerning: mostly empty, with lukewarm pieces that looked like they'd been out far too long. Definitely not something you want to gamble on. Freshness, what's that? Not up in here for lunch. There are other buffets somewhat nearby that don't serve trash for Lunch. Eat at your own risk on any day besides the weekend, probably.

    My family and I decided to give it a try to this place and honestly - I want to say is a good place . We didn't know but we came in the perfect time for dinnner. We were able to get Mariscos ;) . The only thing is that They have certain times and prices for lunch and dinner . If you go for lunch there are some food you can't have . If you like Mariscos is best for you to go for dinner !!. Is a big place so waiting time is nothing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty decent place not loud .[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    It's been a long time since I've been to a Chinese buffet. I came here around 2pm on a weekday and the price was $15.99. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has a huge sitting area. It's very clean and spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a good selection of food. My favorite would be their Szechuan spicy fish and tofu dish. That taste is on point. I also enjoyed their broccoli dishes, chicken skewer, shrimps, ice cream, and Mongolian bbq. For the price, it's pretty good deal. They also have sushi,pizza, salad, and other desserts like cakes and cream puff. I tried one piece sushi which I thought was egg inside but turn out to be cheese. That wasn't good to me. The cakes were too dry, but they have a good selection of ice cream including green tea and coffee. They offer more seafood during the weekend. Service was good. The host was friendly and the staff was constantly clearing our table and checking in on us. I'll be back when I crave Chinese buffet or can't figure out what to eat.

    Just like any other buffet place, same food same desserts and same ambiance. Eat until you drop. Now what stands out is your drinks. The customer service they give you when your drinks are empty. In this case, the buffet restaurant was close to empty. Around 2pmsh. Our server did not deliver. Kept reminding him to fill up our drink refills. Now this is what stands out from every buffet. This is not the case. From experience only, maybe our server had a bad day. Just Ok.

    Some of their foods were rotten!!!

    -0 rating Food was TERRIBLE !! The noodles were dry, the chicken had a HUMAN HAIR, there were FLIES on the food. Never coming here again !! Only go if you like bottom of the barrel, Chinese food

I approached Alexa, the cashier who did not speak or understand clear English. That immediately pissed me off. I began to tell her, I've never been there before And she looked at me with a confused look!!‍‍ she didn't understand me. Because I've been in Customer Service myself for the last 20 years. I tried to be grateful, but she was dismissive, because she did not understand my questions. Quick to take my money but not give me instructions on what to do next. She should never be in the front of a business if she is not fluent!!! Now, on the other hand, as I turned to my left Mrs.Tresha, was an angel and disguised. She immediately calmed to me down because as a single Mother on Mother's Day paying $60 for me and my 17 year-old son to eat at a place where food with not really good at all. Eggs cooked too dam hard Bacon burnt Sausage undercooked Taco shells, stale Pancakes thin & hard Orange juice HORRIBLE French toast was good though Potatoes was OK ( loved the onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers on the side) Fried okra was OK Pizza was like frozen box (the cheap kind) It just was really mid!! (mediocre) Anyway, she made me feel better with her patience. And the way she was accommodating. Then my waitress, Jazmin was great very kind. Very accommodating as well, and I think there was a woman Hispanic with a Bob. She had a white pinstripes suit on who was very kind very pleasant as I walked past her as she looked my way. Very professional, seating people. She was on point as well. But honestly, I cannot say that I would wanna return. It looked a little warn down in there. The place should definitely get a face lift sometime soon. New seating cleaner carpets. The bathroom was cleaned though, which I did appreciate. It was really a mixed bag, but yeah, super shots out to Jazmin my waitress & Mrs.Tresha. Please remove Alexa from the front register. She needs more intense Customer Service training & a deeper understanding in English. Thank you.

    I've been wanted to try this place again and when I found out they had 12 dollar rolls to go if you…read morecall them directly I basically RAN there! 12 dollar rolls are a very good deal considering most place have them for 17+ typically speaking. The staff was very very friendly the short time I was there and answered some questions I had. I inquired about what the difference between their regular AYCE and their Premium version... if you like sashimi that would be perfect for you since it's included for the premium... if you mainly just like rolls the regular would suit you just fine. The decoration inside the restaurant is cute especially since it's literally on the BLVD... you almost feel like you are somewhere else than south street . Now for the rolls I got... I got the summer roll and seared salmon roll from the fresh roll category. I got one NO RICE roll which I love to end on a lighter note than the ones with rice that one is called south st roll and it was very flavorful as were the other ones. Everything felt extremely fresh and I will be back for this special and on days I feel I'm starving enjoy the AYCE aspect of the restaurant. All in all AMAZING STUFF UMI! Thanks!

    I'd rate this place a solid 3.8/4. Pros:…read more * The food came out relatively quickly. * The fish tasted fresh, and the ingredients matched the menu photos. * I really appreciate that they clearly label which rolls contain spicy mayo or are considered spicy. As someone who can't handle spice at all, that made ordering so much easier. * Biggest pro: They give you FREE matcha ice cream at the end, and it was delicious! Cons: * This is not the place for a nice date night. It was incredibly loud with kids screaming and running around the restaurant. * Even though it wasn't very busy, the service was lacking. I'd recommend ordering everything you might need (extra sauce, lemons, napkins, etc.) as soon as you sit down because once your food is dropped off, it's difficult to get anyone's attention. We were never checked on or asked if we needed anything else. * This has nothing to do with the food, but bring a jacket! The A/C was blasting--it honestly felt like it was set to 62°. As for the sushi itself, I thought it was decent, but the rolls were a little lacking in flavor. The sauces really carried most of them, though that's just my personal preference. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially if the waitlists at other AYCE sushi spots are hours long. If you're looking for good, all-you-can-eat sushi without a crazy wait, this place gets the job done. It may not be the most memorable sushi you'll ever have, but it's a great local spot that delivers on the essentials. paid $84 for two AYCE so $$$

There are no combination plates, so I just got rice and veggies with I believe is cassava or our Filipino yellow squash? !
