This is a first for me, but I spent a lot of time writing a review a couple of days ago, and it…read moredisappeared (no, it wasn't saved as a draft). So from memory here is a slightly abridged version. New York K-BBQ is an all-you-can-eat buffet style Korean BBQ restaurant. There is a wide variety of cooked foods (not just Korean but also spaghetti, hot dogs, and sushi), and uncooked meats. A staff member cooks the uncooked meats at your table. I must admit I'm feeling somewhat confused as to how to rate this restaurant because they are not consistent. For example, the decor is fairly nice, but the furniture to me seemed underwhelming. As for service, I was coldly instructed not to take photos of the interior. Afterwards, however, the staff was acceptably friendly and attentive. Service was a hybrid between full-service and self-service. A staffer started cooking meats for us but eventually disappeared, and we had to cook for ourselves. I know some people rather cook the foods themselves anyway, but I think we would have preferred she stay to cook. However, the most glaring inconsistency, for me, was the food. Besides the complimentary ice cream at the end, the fried shrimp and sliced potatoes were absolutely delicious. But the dumplings were terrible, and some of the meats needed some soy sauce for taste. In the end, I think I'll still give this dining establishment 4 stars for one reason - and that is the quantity and quality/ price ratio. Lunch is $25 per person, and dinner is $30. It's $5 cheaper if you pay cash. I think that's pretty good for an AYCE restaurant. Note that an 18% gratuity is automatically added to the check. I definitely will go back to try other food items.

Came in for the $29 dinner buffet. Not bad just perfect for the orice. We had shrimp, pork…read moreshoulder, beef bullogi and pork belly. Wife picked up some squid and baby octopus, overall a geeat family experience. Most ither places charge at least another $10 per person. I would say that the shrimp and the pork belly were the best, everything else was ok.

I love getting their Spicy Kani, Eel Avocado, and Shrimp Tempura. The drinks are also good. Not overly priced. I prefer their Mango Mojito ($6) and Pina Colada ($6). Non-alcoholic. The service is decent and the food comes fast. I love that the ambiance of the restaurant is pretty empty... but that's just me.

3.5 We've been to Rakuzen a few times but it's been a while…read more Noticed the prices go up and down. I remember liking their hot/cooked food as well as their sushi. The lunch price was about $26 AYCE. There's a checklist with all the options; we did 1 sheet at a time for my family. Larger groups can share a variety of rolls since 6-8 pcs each, and some have larger than bite-size pieces. After a while also, they started tasting similar to one another. I remember liking the sashimi appetizers before but this time, there's a thicker sauce on a few of them which I didn't like. For appetizers/cooked food, I liked their flaky/not-oily shrimp tempura, and beef negimaki. We had to be mindful of how much we ordered after the first 2 rounds. I actually felt full quickly. They have a regular menu for those not into the AYCE. The Chicken Katsu was a big serving. Service is good. Not long of a wait for the food. Restroom available, can be maintained better.

An absolute pleasure!…read more The amount of choices left me in disbelief. Frog legs to stone crab... noodles to rice... beef to chicken. An absolute feast that is well worth the money. I can't wait to come back to fill up my belly again. Staff was 10/10 as they were bring out fresh food frequently so nobody had to wait for anything. Place is big and lots of seating. Parking lot is shared with other things such as the hotel and arcade so parking on the street and taking a walk may be best.

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.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

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 sushi selection was also not good since there's only one guy prepping everything. I also loved how much lychee they had at the dessert table. 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.
