This place is a seafood lover's dream! I've been wanting to check out this place for awhile and I'm…read moreglad I finally got to try. We got the lobster AYCE for $125pp and they had so much variety and everything was made fresh to order. The portion sizes were generous and the quality of the seafood was great. I love the flavors of everything we got. The service was also amazing! So quick and efficient. My faves: - Fried Sea Bass w. Sweet Chili Sauce - Old Bay Shrimp - Pan Seared Fresh Jumbo Scallop - Shrimp w. Cajun Butter Sauce

Food: This restaurant offers an AYCE seafood meal for $90 per person (or $120 per person for…read moreunlimited lobster and lobster mac and cheese). The AYCE menu includes a variety of items including appetizers (broccoli, calamari, corn, iron steak, crab rangoon, clam chowder, fried rice, garlic noodles, chicken wings, spareribs, general Tso's chicken, spring rolls, edamame, french fries, and more) and main seafood entrees (steamed or hand breaded shrimp, blue crab, dungeness crab, snow crab legs, crawfish, salmon, seabass, mussels, steamed clams, raw oysters and clams, and more). The items I would recommend the most are iron steak, crab rangoon, blue crab, snow crab legs, and crawfish. The seafood is fresh, and if you love seafood, this AYCE meal is a good value for the variety and amount you get. There is no limit to how much you can order at a time; you can order as many rounds as you'd like. Service: Service is excellent here; staff are friendly and very attentive. They come to check on you throughout the meal and clear empty dishes. Food comes out very quickly after you place an order. The staff are also nice about giving you another menu to place another order. They are generous with their portions and food unlike other AYCE places that seem to not want you to order as much. Ambiance: The restaurant is big and spacious; seating is comfortable. There are tables and booths that can accommodate both small and large groups. The restaurant is kept clean, and the decor is very nice. During the warmer months, there's outdoor seating in Mongolian-style tents on the patio that overlooks Surf Avenue and Luna Park. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like seafood!

I used to have a 5 star review for this place. This has gradually changed and now it's to the point…read moreof NEVER going back there again. This last Saturday (2/14/26) was the absolutely last time. I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with this: when we were seated, we were given plastic utensils and had to beg for regular metal forks. Granted, it was a busy day, being Valentine's Day, but it was their responsibility to prepare. The food lately is atrocious. Disgusting. Trays remain empty and do not get refilled in a timely manner. They used to have a grill where they did freshly grilled meats. Now they have some dumb Raman bar that no one ever uses. When we were there I didn't see anyone come up there. All food counters are perpetually dirty. They used to clean all the time. Now they just leave the mess people make and it's gross. We've been disgusted after each time we go to this buffet - nausea and diarrhea guaranteed from the horrible food. Never again! This time we went, there were no drinks in the fridge, it was empty, there were no grilled meats, and the ones there were cold and looked old, counters are nasty. The entire place has gone to h*ll and is poorly managed now. I'd rather go to a real restaurant, with normal food and not this horror they're serving.

Then it's self serve for whatever your stomach desires. I'm a huge fan of seafood and soul food so I grabbed some salmon, chicken and broccoli, fried rice, lo mein, and some salad.

We ended up at our neighborhood buffet, which has been around since my high school days. There's something nostalgic about walking through those doors again. I'd fully planned to snap pics and do a proper foodie breakdown (charged my phone and everything!), but once we were seated, all bets were off. The food? Not five-star, but it's fresh--and that matters. The high customer turnover keeps the trays rotating constantly, so nothing ever feels like it's been sitting. The fruit station gets points for presentation--everything looked washed and vibrant (though I gave a few pieces the side-eye just in case ). For under $30, it hit the spot. Not a gourmet experience, but perfect for a low-key, satisfying outing. It's nice to have a go-to place that's stood the test of time, and still delivers on value.

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. From the…read moremoment we arrived, the entrance area appeared unclean and there was a strong odor resembling urine, which immediately created an unpleasant first impression. In addition, the waitresses and front staff were not welcoming and seemed inattentive toward guests. What was especially concerning was observing staff members wiping wine glasses with visibly dirty tissues, which raised serious concerns regarding hygiene and sanitation standards. Despite being seated for approximately 15 minutes, no one approached our table to take an order or even acknowledge us. The lack of basic customer service, combined with the cleanliness issues, made the overall dining experience highly unsatisfactory. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves both the sanitation practices and customer service standards moving forward. We decided to leave shortly after arriving after witnessing staff members cleaning wine glasses with dirty tissues. The overall experience became unacceptable. Based on the cleanliness issues and lack of professionalism, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have encountered. I would give this restaurant 0 stars if that were possible.

But it was okay because we found street parking a little bit of a walk away and was able to still enjoy ourselves. My fiancé and I grabbed a bunch of food from their big variety and both left stuffed. Overall, I can't say it's the best quality of foods however, the selection was huge and for the price, this was actually very good! The service was great. They started us off with drinks as soon as we sat down and would ask us if we needed refills on these drinks whenever they were running low. Even though there was a lot of people, because the space itself is also big, it did not feel like we were overcrowded so that was also a plus!

Went here today for lunch…read more Nice establishment overall. They have a free parking lot, and the entrance is inside the hotel, you take the elevator upstairs to the buffet. However, when we arrived, nobody was at the front counter, so we walked to the inside counter to ask to be seated. The front desk guy clearly just came in for his shift since he was hurrying on his cell phone, carrying bags and had his jacket on. He came over looking very busy and disheveled, and when my mom politely asked if we should wait here to be seated, he rudely responded, "Well if there's no one at that counter then you come to this counter if you see the sign." Meanwhile... there was no sign saying that when we left. My mom was just asking a simple question, so the attitude was unnecessary. Just because you're stressed or running late doesn't mean you take it out on customers. F him for being rude to my nice mom and never coming to this place again. As for the food, it was pretty mediocre overall, that experience left a bad taste. The sushi selection had a good variety, and the desserts were honestly the best part. They have a chocolate fondue station plus vanilla, matcha, and swirl soft serve ice cream machines. At least the place was clean. Also, the waitress gives you a parking discount before you leave, so don't forget to ask.

We ordered the tomato broth, and while I generally like how the flavor from tomato broth infuses all the ingredients, here it was too strong and left an unpleasant aroma. The frozen tofu ("dong tofu") was a weird variety with tiny pieces that I didn't love, and the broccoli didn't taste fresh at all. The udon noodles were fine. Everything felt a bit cheap, like the plastic cups they use for water. We had to make quite an effort to flag any of the servers down.

The drinks and ice cream/desserts also help yourself, plenty of wet wipes to clean up. But most importantly, the food was so fresh and incredible. I've never had actual live shrimp before and will admit was a little nervous when they started jumping around. The star of the show is the fresh crab, offering a luxurious taste without the hefty price tag. For a sashimi lover on a budget, the quality here is a pleasant surprise, rivaling that of more expensive sushi bars. It's a delightful experience to enjoy high-quality sashimi without the worry of overspending. Wrapping up the meal, the brown sugar grass jelly with peanut and mango dessert is a standout. It's rare to find such a sophisticated and satisfying dessert at an AYCE restaurant. This sweet finale is not just an afterthought but a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality across the board. For a frugal foodie in NYC, this place is a gem, offering an experience that's both wallet-friendly and deliciously memorable

You can pick up to 2 broths so we had duck and short ribs which were both excellent with lots of herbs mixed in. Just a few of the great meat and seafood selections include Argentine shrimp, snow crab, and lobster. They also have live shrimp available so if you're squeamish I suggest skipping that one or asking for the dead ones. Durian fans, take note, they serve unlimited fruit here too as well as durian desserts. I enjoyed the different mochis but note they are filled with flavored whip cream, not bean paste or ice cream. Service was spot on - they took great care of us though I had to get up to refill cold water myself. Overall, really great experience and suggest coming with a native Mandarin speaker.

For dinner and weekends, it is $25.99 per person. Note that while it's AYCE, there is a $2 charge for drinks. There's essentially three sections with Chinese food, seafood, and salad/desserts. Plus, there's a sushi area where a chef was making the sushi in front of you. It's mostly cooked rolls, but satisfies my sushi cravings. For seafood, they had shrimp cooked in different ways along with crab too. Everything was delicious and I ended up going through 3 plates of food. Lastly, you get a softserve ice cream in a cone to finish your meal. Great value for what you get and everything was well stocked except the king crab legs but that's expected at any Chinese buffet. If you're not trying to overstuff yourself, they also have take out options which is charged by weight.
