    I'm admittedly not a huge fan of buffets but my daughter was craving some seafood and we were in the area so we decided to give it a try. The place was very clean, the staff friendly and attentive, and the seafood fresh and presented well. I tried the steamed mussels, a couple of different shrimp preparations, shumai, sushi, dumplings and some of their beef with broccoli. Everything was pretty tasty.

    Came here to try out the newest buffet in the Baltimore area Aurora Seafood & Grill Buffet . This buffet has a lot with plenty of parking available. We entered and were greeted by a pleasant host and taken to our booth. The ambiance was nice and quiet as we arrived at the beginning of dinner in a weekday. They had the buffet set up as different food stations: sushi, Chinese, American hot food, salad/dessert, hibachi, and a soup station. I started off with the proteins: shrimp, steak, bbq ribs, fish, and fried chicken. All were good. They have a ramen station where you can pick from a few options. I settled on the chicken tonkasu and it was good. I did get to try the Mac and cheese (a HARD pass), and some Chinese beef which was very good. The salad and dessert stations were impressive and I did get to try the carrot cake which wasn't that bad. The sushi station had quite a variety of assorted sushi and sashimi. I got a couple of pieces of the tempura shrimp roll and it was okay for a buffet. I was two full plates in and done. They have a hibachi station with assorted meats and veggies you choose and hand to the staff and they cook it right in front of you on the grill. Soft drinks are included in your cost and they also have an included boba tea fridge ( the mango was really good) with an assortment of teas and an ice cream freezer with assorted bars and ice cream cups as well. All in all, a great seafood buffet and grill to visit in the Baltimore area.

    I didn't expect too much and I am glad I didn't come with high hopes. This spot reminds me of Charm city grill but with a twist. It is supposed to have a lot of seafood, but it didn't give the whole seafood buffet style like Captain George (Virginia) which is a real seafood buffet. I will say the sushi was fresh and tasted good. But I can tell some really like the crab legs which had no seasoning and were cold to me. The servers were pleasant and helpful. They always made sure we had drinks.

    Visited around 2p weekday. $17.99 for lunch, but $1 off grand opening sale through 10-31. Overall, it's an above average hibachi-sushi-chinese-american buffet. With drinks included (sodas from server, fruit Boba drinks in a self serve fridge). I had a couple diet cokes, a mango Boba, and a lemonade. All great. The sushi section is my favorite part, and what will have me return. Typical rolls are available (California, avocado, fake crab stick, Philadelphia, spicy Tuna, rainbow). There were also several nigiri (simple fish on rice) options: salmon, Tuna, cooked shrimp, etc). Some bad buffets will have way too much rice on the rolls and nigiri so you fille up. These were all normal, so that was good to see a nice fish to rice ratio. Other buffet selections I tried were fried rice, chicken wings, peel and eat shrimp, Mongolian beef, grean beans, shumai, and dumplings. I would rank all these items as average. Nothing special but ok. I did not try some things I thought didn't look good. These may be different when you visit. But I skipped the cooked salmon and cooked white fish. The color was very off. I skipped the baked ham, as it looked over cooked. I skipped the oysters and snails. I need to build that trust in this relationship first. Also skipped most of the pastries and appetizers. That's more me prioritizing sushi items. I skipped the hibachi this time around. They have the raw items bar that you put on your plate, and give to the chef to cook on the flat top. It looked pretty good, if not a little small. I'll give it a try next time. There's a freezer case with small ice cream (I only saw vanilla and sorbet) and a couple varieties of ice cream bars. I found a strawberry shortcake bar that I liked growing up. It seems like there's no limit to this either but come on....don't ruin it. Prices are higher for dinner (sorry don't remember and forgot to take a pic, but someone else probably did). For lunch, pretty reasonable if you're hungry and sushi-friendly. Service was excellent.

    This is your standard options Chinese buffet but with ramen!! Lots of good sushi options. It was clean, and the food was replenished quickly for a Friday evening. Parking is plentiful.

    This is a new Buffet in my neighborhood. Plenty of choices to choose from. They have a Sushi Bar, Hibachi Grill, Ice-cream and a Bobble Tea Station. The Staff were friendly and attentive when clearing finished plates off your table. You pay after you eat also. So I'm sure I'll be returning.

    My husband and I had been talking about trying this place and we finally stopped in to check it out. It used to be a Golden Corral which closed down and I noticed a new seafood buffet moved in the space maybe 8 months or so later (this is a guesstimate). We went in the evening around 8pm so some things were fresh and some things needed to be replaced. They have a wide variety of food options including a nice sushi bar and they have the hibachi bar where you can get items made to order. While I enjoyed the selections I made, I would like to try it out during the day. Our server came by regularly to collect our plates and refresh our drinks. Oh I and before I forget they have all kinds of refrigerated specialty teas and select ice cream you can get. It seems to be pretty clean but the I am not sure about the bathroom as I didn't have to use it. I would definitely recommend a visit.

    After stopping by a near by restaurant where crabs was sold out we decided to come here. It's a nice size and very well lit. The employees were friendly and attentive. The buffet not only consisted off seafood but American food and dessert as well. The buffet was full and clean. I've never really been a fan of all you can eat places because the food is normally bland. I have to say that I will return and bring my grandson. He would very much enjoy.

    I feel like if you want good Baltimore Chinese food with a sprinkle of seafood this is the place to come. If you want high-end top quality seafood then you're going to be underwhelmed. If you want an easy relatively cheap meal that is good across the board this is the place to come to.

    For $25, the food was ok. It's a good spot to take your family, especially if you're on a budget. The servers were friendly.

    This restaurant used to be the old Golden corral . I went to the grand opening today for lunch. And I must say I'm already impressed. The staff greeted and seated you immediately and they were attentive with their services at the table. The decor inside is really nice. It gives aquatic galaxy. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The food was good and seasoned in my opinion. Many options to choose from being the hot bar, sushi bar, the cold bar and the make your own teriyaki bar. Even though this was their first day and their grand opening, I can't wait to go back and try them again for dinner to see the options that they provide for dinner. I'm thinking dinner will be more with the seafood and ramen. This place is definitely worth checking out and it's going to give Charm City buffet a run for their money.

    The staff was friendly and efficient the selection of sushi big and buffet has something for everyone. They have habachi grill that you can select from raw food bar to be grilled ,I was to0 full so I wasn't able to try this time

Most of the buffet is self serve, but there are a couple of stations for food cooked on a grill or prepared to order. Lots of interesting soda flavors and different milks. Plates are removed promptly and the cooks are friendly. Loads of tables here so there was very little wait to be directed to the seating area. Decent quality food for a buffet overall. We also visited the store in the basement to walk off the food, which was quite expansive, and visited the grocery next door. Fun to see the Amish park their horses and buggies in designated parking spots.

    A very good friend recommended this restaurant to us and we were excited to try it. I love seafood!…read more We were warmly greeted and sat immediately due to our reservation. Our server was knowledgeable and professional. She welcomed us, explained the menu and quickly brought brought water and lemons for the water. She was fantastic throughout the meal and made our experience wonderful. We ordered French onion soup and a "special" of fried green tomatoes for our appetizers. Complimentary, fresh, warm, honey-wheat bread with both regular and cinnamon sugar butters, was brought to the table. The bread had a very nice texture. The French onion soup was very delicious and not too sweet! It was perfectly balanced. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and the breading was perfectly crispy. However the "seasoning" was in the mildly spicy remoulade, which was served on the side. We also ordered a broiled seafood platter with sides of broccoli and twice baked potato. The hubs ordered char-grilled pork chops, grilled asparagus, and potato au gratin. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasty. We really enjoyed everything. Regarding ambiance, the dining room looks a bit formal with its white table cloth and dim lighting. However, everyone dressed casually - jeans, shorts, etc. This made for a very relaxed atmosphere. But..... Ultimately, and in spite of all the good, I will deduct one star simply because I believe the entire menu is overpriced.

You have a choice between AYCE or by the pound. I know last time I came I got AYCE but honestly I don't eat that much anymore, so by the pound is more cost effective for me. There also are two different prices based on whether you want BBQ + sushi with your buffet. (Sushi??? I'll stick to BBQ when going Brazilian.) I tried to sample small amounts of the dishes on the buffet and then got some picanha and another steak cut (maminha). Both BBQ cuts were very good - I liked the maminha more. (Fraldihna is my usual favorite, and it's kind of similar to the maminha.). They had a chicken with capers that was probably my favorite of the buffet dishes. The stroghanoff wasn't bad. Some of the other meat dishes on the buffet were a bit dry. I got a mystery empanada which turned out to be guava & cheese, if it had been warmed it would have been better. I love guava, but there was just a little small rectangle of guava paste in the very center; probably 80% of the empanada had no filling. Similarly, the cheese bread balls were cold and hard. Those need to be right out of the oven to be worth it. It's a shame, they probably were good when they were first made but they weren't by the time I got to them. The potato salad was ok but the balance of mayo to potato & other veg was off (too much mayo). I had some fresh fruit too. All in all, I'd definitely come back (I love the steak!) but I'd focus on the things I know are good rather than trying a lot of things.

We ordered pizza, and when it arrived it was cold. After the food was delivered, we again had difficulty getting anyone's attention to ask for water and later the check.

There are other places to enjoy Brazilian food where customers receive much better attention and better food.
