    Ramen station pork tonkasu
    Na H.

    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'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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

She was the best first impression you could have had... told us the history of the Lib family how they are the Perry Hall staple of the area. Vic was our server and he was wonderful, answering questions and very knowledgeable. Michelle was the mgr on the evening we were there and came out when we wanted to rave over the meal... when she found out we were new to the area, she came back to the table with her top picks for dining in the area. Really... wow! The deck was enclosed but was an open space that made you feel like you were outside without the draft. I could go on and on, but really, stop reading and navigate here Right now What makes you think I'm kidding Put down that mediocre food This is way better than what your stuffing your face with Y'all

We have become "regulars" and our server that we ask for every time, (Brenna) is a bright light and always provides us with amazing service that keeps us coming back! We all enjoyed our lunch and I have to say, Lib's Grill was rocking! It was President's Weekend Holiday and every table was taken for brunch/lunch. Our meals, once again were all really good and service was top notch. Thank you, Brenna, (and team), for making our meal a memorable one, once again. I'll provide some updated photos to keep this review as fresh as the food and service! :)

So it cost me $10-15 to for a plastic takeout container. Had I not looked at the customer copy of the bill I would have not only not known but I would have tipped based on the total which already included the additional gratuity charge (which was not disclosed on the merchant copy). This is so unnecessary and ruined what would have been a good experience. They said it was a "sharing charge" which I have experienced and applies when u have another diner with you and u decide to split an entree. Had they disclosed I would at least had the option to finish the meal. The saying "stepping over dollars to pick up pennies " seems to apply as this left such a bad taste I doubt I will return despite the fact the crab cake was delicious and the loaded baked potato was average (hardly loaded) Beware of the hidden gratuity for take home leftovers!!! Update to above: I did follow up with Angie this morning and she was very kind and offered to credit back my card for the extra gratuity. She also explained that I was misled about the "sharing charge" but they do automatically add 15% gratuity regardless of party size or quality of service. So I would give 4 stars for the food quality and 1 star for the way in which they present and charge gratuity. Tipping should remain at the discretion of the diner based on service and food quality otherwise just get rid of tipping and raise your prices

I suspect Captain Jim runs his ships all the same, no matter where they are located, so I'll put it here - but if the Captain is still in the same spot next year, I'll start the new Yelp page then. My grandfather lived in Dundalk all his life, and he was a tremendously important person in my life. He passed some time ago and is buried at... one of those cemeteries on German Hill, right across the street from Captain Jim's. I like to visit him on his birthday, and Christmas if I have the chance. This year would have been his 99th birthday. I put a box of Butterfinger candies on his headstone because they were his favorite, and decided that I would get some steamed crabs in his honor because they were also one of his favorite things (and I had the money). We were originally going to get the crabs somewhere else, but figured, 'hey, Captain Jim's is right here. Why not give them a try?' We weren't disappointed. It took about 20 minutes for them to freshly steam 3 dozen small males, and a pound of shrimp for us. It wasn't much more than $50 (which is what I had on hand from my grandmother, who has been without my grandfather for at least 15 years now). The scent of the (I'm guessing) J.O2 seasoning filled our van, and the steam from the crabs actually fogged our windows. I spent about 8 hours picking crabs. I find the activity so calming, and could do it all the time if my arthritic elbows and shoulders didn't throw an absolute fit the next day. The crabs were delicious and made me happy, and isn't that the point? We got two different butters to dip the crab in, but that's not really my thing. My boyfriend said that the plain butter tasted woody, and he didn't like that, but the garlic butter was a hit and he has used the leftover butter to make at least one dinner so far. The shrimp were lovely, and came with cocktail sauce, and steamed onions because what's the point of steamed shrimp if not to get some onions as well? I think we did right by my grandfather. Would recommend

Huge tv's hugged the upper walls, grabbing the attention of patrons. Honestly, I was bored by being pummeled with sports.

We did not order anything with alcohol, so I am at a loss there. They do have beer on tap and bottles. The cheesesteak was good, fresh roll and tasty meat. The fries were as expected, nothing outstanding. Just good for bar food. My chicken wings were not puny, just normal size and market value, had them made to be mild. This came with celery (quite fresh and crunchy), the ranch was poured off into a plastic cup. Both orders came in plastic baskets, and a paper plate for bone discard. Plenty of napkins.

She did visit once to make sure all was Ok and any needs. All was fine.

She did not say anything about the price adjustment either. I can understand a mistake in the charge. Just say something. I guess I am overreacting at this point. Sigh.
