    Crab, shrimp and assorted items.
    Jeff B.

    Came on a Sunday around 11:45 am. Place was about half filled with patrons. The restaurant is very bright, modern and inviting. The Staff are friendly and attentive. A couple of Staff mentioned the soft opening and seemed genuinely interested in feedback about the food and service. For the soft opening (through Nov 30), the price is 5 percent off. On weekends, the adult price normally is $28.99. According to signs and Staff, lobster and crab legs are available only on weekends at the $28.99 price. I believe mid-week dinner price is $24.99. My partner and I liked the place very much. I judge Chinese restaurants in part by their hot and sour soup. This soup is tasty and, when I was finished with it, there was a residue of different herbs/spices at the bottom of my cup. This was a solid, well made soup. My partner had minced beef soup, which they said was very good. The peel and eat shrimp (head off) were carefully cleaned - like so clean I thought each had been power washed. The shrimp were large and not chewy or rubbery at all. The cocktail sauce had some kick - could have had more kick for my taste, but it's impossible to make a cocktail sauce that's perfect for everyone. Don't get me wrong, it's a tangy and very tasty cocktail sauce. I also had something I never had at a Chinese buffet before - raw oysters. I had a couple here because they looked fresh and clean. In other buffet places with raw oysters, I'm a little suspect. But something about presentation here made me feel it was ok. The oysters are large here. I had one without cocktail sauce and it was pretty flavorless. With the cocktail sauce it was very good. There was a tray with mussels and clams and squid which I didn't have, but they looked fresh and tasty. The Chinese entrees were good, pretty standard for Chinese buffet. But there were other items, like Japanese-style chicken, that was good, as well as pieces of well prepared beef, bok choy and other vegi entrees that were tasty. Onto the crabs. The whole crab was tasty, with sweet meat. (Crabs are a lot of work for me, because I'm lazy, so this comment is from my partner.). The crab legs were easy to get meat from (the restaurant didn't offer tools) and were tasty. The lobster was pre-cut sections they were difficult to get meat out of, but the meat was good. My partner said it was too much work and stuck with the crab legs. The sushi was very good. Nice presentation and good variety. Not a variety like Umi in Rockville, but a nice variety of good, solid sushi and sashimi. Again, everything seemed fresh. They were preparing sushi throughout our visit. Wasabi and soy sauce are readily available near the sushi station. For dessert, there's fruit (grapes, orange sections and pineapple), a variety of pastries and a soft serve ice cream machine. The ice cream was very smooth. Near the machine, there's chocolate sauce and sprinkles. I am impressed and think the price point on the weekends is fair, with the crab and lobster included. BTW, I'm writing this review a few hours after our meal and I feel fine. So I think I made a good call on having the raw oysters.

    MSG warning I wrote a detailed review after my visit. Unfortunately, that evening, I suffered through inflammatory pain that appears to have been triggered by MSG. If you do not have a concern about this, then you should be fine as I had nothing bad about my visit to share.

    I expected this place to be in between Hibachi buffet and Umi. I am right. Basically, Umi's hot food are better than D1, while D1 has better preparation and/or quality of crab legs. I felt that the ones at Umi was not prepared well,semi frozen,stuck on shell. I would probably pick eating Hook n Reel if I want those type of boiled steamed seafood buffet. In conclusion, for the price range, I would rather go to Umi (flavor,variety) or Hook n Reel (flavor,variety,proximity)or lowest price Hibachi(flavor,proximity,price). For a precaution, I would like to add that my husband happened to get 1 fried chicken that has bloody bone. Server is attentive, pretty clean, but I've had better flavor elsewhere. Hopefully they can improve on that. They also consider Friday night as a weekend price.

    Went on a weekend for dinner it was $29 pp not sure what weekday and lunch prices are. Service was fast and they items stocked well when becoming low. Everything was mid. I wish they had better chinese food options. The noodles, egg rolls type dishes did not look appealing. The seafood was decent. Sushi was so so as well. Inside is spacious it use to be an all you can eat sushi buffet as well that closed I guess fairly quick unfortunately that place use to be decent too. Would I go again personally? Maybe once in a blue moon. I like kanpai better although more expensive. Umi is trash in my opinion so at least you know my opinions.

    Saw that they were open for Thanksgiving's Day. Came for lunch, food was amazing. They have lobster. It was a fight for it since everyone was aiming for it. Would come back again.

    Pizza, garlic bread.

    Clean ambience. The lobster they're referring to is a claw not a lobster tail. Not very much meat in a lobster claw or flavor, and almost every piece was stuck to the shell. No oysters. The crabs were small but had a decent flavor. The sashimi was still frozen. Had to let the sashimi thaw out in my soy sauce. The ribs were mediocre . Not much variety . All the high price ticket items were below average not worth your $32.. .

    We went on a Saturday as soon as they opened at 11am. Service was great! The hostess was welcoming and the server was attentive without hovering. The food was fresh and they had a nice variety of seafood. The area was beautifully decorated and spacious. Would definitely come back!

    The food is tasty. The selection of items is high end. Overall, absolutely worth the price. The buffet features snow crab legs which are moist, flavorful, and not overcooked. They serve fried lobster which was not the best I've had but really decent. They also have fairly large size maryland crabs. The sashimi is mostly salmon and some other fish. It was very fresh. Then there are all the other staples. Galbi was thick cut and smoky. The fish was light, flaky, and seasoned perfectly. The seafood selection is vast and tastefully cooked eventhough it is coming out in massive amounts. The service was friendly and there is enough seating for a large amount of people. The lighting is bright and the decor is clean and new. I liked that sounds did not carry too much so people talking around me sounded muted. I do wish they provided pickers for the king crab. Chopsticks just don't work very well for that. They will provide gloves if you ask for them. Lobster and snow crabs are only served on the weekends. The price is very reasonable and far better compared to Rockville prices. It is definitely worth a visit if you like Chinese style seafood and sashimi. I will be returning with other family members who like to feast!

On this visit, we both got selections like what we had around our early times of visiting this spot. I cannot remember what my friend got, but I ordered one of the "Feasty Specials" which had 1/2 Snow Crab Legs and 1/2 Headless Shrimp. It came with sausages (sliced in pieces), 1 Corn (about 1/4 size), 1 Egg, and 2 Potatoes (the skin easily comes off). You get to pick the seasoning and I had Old Bay. What is presented to you is a large clear bag, steamed up and tied, with seasonings and all mixed up. It is served on a metal tray, and they also place an empty bowl on your table for discarding things. Plastic bib was on, bag opened, and I was ready to dig in. The seasoning took me back to my second visit a few years ago. It was when I first tasted their Old Bay mix and became a fan of it. This Feasty Special was just enough and I was glad to switch things up for a change.

    Overall, this is an average experience out…read more The good - plenty of options on their all you can eat menu, or at least for us. Overall, the food is good, and, in our opinion, you do get what you pay for. Keep in mind that they DO charge you if you have leftover food on your table when you are done. Be mindful of that and make sure to let them know as you are finishing up, and want more, to scale down your portion size. There is a 90-minute window to eat. The servers don't really go over the menu much, so if it is your first time for all you can eat, make sure to take notice that the crab legs do come with a few different flavor options. The bad - They started a new policy, which I understand, but do not like. If you want all you can eat, everyone who is at the table must all order it as well, or nobody can. I understand they are protecting their profits, but that has taken us away from this place on more than one occasion to eat elsewhere as some wanted it and another family members wanted to order off the main menu. Also, service can be extremely slow, and I am not sure if it is intentional or not, but we have complained more than once and made them extend our time. Last time we went, they set our first order of food down on the table and as we were eating, the waitress walked by no less then 5 times and didn't bother to ask if we wanted anything else. Then, magically, when our food was gone, we could not get anyone to come to the table for 15 minutes. Upon ordering our next round, it took another 20 more minutes for the food to arrive. They are sticklers about the 90-minute time frame, and we explained that twice this has happened and 60 minutes of our 90 minutes was wasted waiting on a server and then the food took forever. They allowed us one more round of food, which we appreciated and thought was fair. We start a stopwatch now and if we feel things are going slow, we address that with the server and sometimes put in a new order when the food is being dropped off. Overall, we are pleased to come here a few times a year. We only get all you can eat and usually are happy when we leave. The food is inconsistent as we do get the lobster tail with all you can eat, and it is usually overcooked and can chew like rubber, but still has good flavor. The crab legs sometimes come out waterlogged with salt, but most times piping hot. This is your typical "average" 3-star restaurant. If you are prepared to spend the money for all you can eat, you will leave satisfied and full, but never will you think "I wish I could come here every week". I have not ordered specific entrees off the regular menu so I cannot speak on portion size or quality of the food by ordering that way. Staff is always pleasant, but you do need to get on them if they are slacking.

The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded.

No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.
