    Listen, was the food bad? No. Was it so good, I feel like I need to go back? No. I felt like the food wasn't the best quality. I have been to better buffets. The servers were pleasant and they were working hard clearing the tables. The bathrooms needed more work and for the most part it was clean. It's a buffet. It's like a no-frills type of place. For dinner it came to $26.70 tip is included. Did I look at my money and feel like it was well spent? No. Many people seem to enjoy this place. It was packed, but I can skip, once it is good enough for me.

    I come here every couple of months! I always leave more than satisfied! So many things to choose from! The hibachi Service is included in the buffet price! Pretty affordable especially for the variety seafood they offer!

    Went in straight and was able to sit down immediately. Sat in and ordered drinks. Then was able to get food. Food was okay, some are oily. You get what you paid right? They had a lot of seafood which was a plus and great! (Not every place has much seafood as they have!) they have sushi area, and hibachi side. They also have dessert area, limited choices but not big deal. They have few choices for cakes (chocolate, strawberries and one that I don't know the flavor) The servers were attentive and pays attentions if plates need to be removed. Place is clean, bathrooms are okay compare to other buffet places. Over-all I give this place a 3 out of 5.

    Growing up my family would always hit up an all-you-can-eat chinese buffet for a Sunday dinner just to give the parents a break from cooking. I was soooooo happy to find one near us because those businesses have really disappeared over the years. The establishment was clean and the staff seem very friendly. You walk in and get seated immediately and off you go to get your first round of delights. The place has so many steam tables full of Chinese-American dishes. They do keep some American/kid-friendly staples like wings, nuggets, onion rings, and fries. All the way in the back they have a sushi chef replenishing some standard rolls like california, tuna, salmon plus a few others. Beside the sushi station they also have a table for "hibachi" where you collect all your raw veggies and raw proteins then hand over the plate to the hibachi chef where he will prepare your selected items on a flat top with any sauce you choose from the list. Very cool spot where the whole family can find something. The dessert table is so plentiful with options and they also have an ice cream freezer full of cold treats! Once at the table, they will take your drink orders and clear out your plates. Once you are done they hand you the check and you pay at the table. I will be honest, I didn't enjoy everything I put on my plate but I did find things and was happy enough to come back. Thats the all you can eat buffet culture-- some things you love and get seconds and other things you won't finish and not get again!

    This was an average buffet for me to be honest. There was a lot of variety in the food but unfortunately, most of it didn't really seem to be seasoned. I paid for the dinner option since there would be more food but I don't really know if it was worth it. I was looking forward to having crabs and other specialities but they weren't the most appetizing. The crabs were too fried and I wasn't really able to get any of the meat out. A lot of the other food didn't seem to have enough seasonings on them or they were also too fried and had too much batter. What's really appealing though, would be the number of options and the low price. I would just be careful of the oysters and sushi as they did not really taste fresh. I had read many reviews praising this place but unfortunately I don't think that I'll be returning anytime soon.

    This has all the hits you'd expect from an Asian buffet. If the line is short, it's worth getting a hibachi plate cooked up with the exact ingredients you want. There's also a good amount of sushi offerings and your typical Chinese restaurant staples, some American hits, seafood, fried food, saucy veggies, you name it. There are more seafood options brought out at dinner, but just the lunch selection alone is pretty satisfying. At the end of the meal, there are a bunch of fruit options if you want to balance out some of the fried food, some cakes, but they had a case of ice cream treats which was unique, so I grabbed an ice cream sandwich and a cup of ice cream. It was pretty crowded, so if this kind of thing is what you're into, you'll find what you're looking for, but coming in a less popular hour may prove better if you don't want to wait a long time for hibachi.

    4 stars at a buffet? Sure I can honestly say it's because of the huge variety here. Not everything is top quality, it's 20.00 bucks bro. And if you dig real Chinese cuisine you can definitely get down here. So basically I'll say what to avoid and why. Cold bar the clams and oysters are stacked and no liquid.The green New Zealand mussels have a sweet sauce. Th sea snail also sweet (Conch aka scungiili) they have baby octopus but I opted out. Large variety of fried items all look very good. Whatever cut of beef that reads steak don't bother it looks overcooked and very dry. Avoid noodles and rice as it's a buffet and they want you to fill up on that. Soups are above warm not hot. Be careful. Hibachi is ok but not good enough to try again. No ginger no sesame oil. The cuts of meat are tough. But considering it's fresh and very hot it's ok. Staff is inattentive. Host hates his life and yours as well. I'm not here for friends. I rarely go to Chinese buffets anymore but would return here. PS the salt and pepper shrimp !! Many customers don't take the heads? So did in. It's the best part.

    Everything on the plates was cold taste less don't waste your money

    everything was cold tasteless. You would think sitting on the steam tables. It would be at least warm.

I'm a…read moreprecovid frequent dinner and take out was never really my problem thing when I frequented here because it had a certain ambiance with the service when ever I dinned in there that brought me back over and over with different people to experience. So I was so very disappointed when after Covid they continued with the only pick up service. The food quality is enough to continue yes but the vibe dining in and at the bar I truly miss. My daughters fell in love with this place because every time we walked into that dinning room there was a particular servers who KNEW US. They knew us enough to know my daughters had a favorite table (the 1st we sat at dinning there). They know us to know that my daughters had special distinction drink mocktails (one of the reasons the fell in love wit this place) that they could order even when it was no longer in the menu. This was one of those places we frequented....even if they couldn't get their special table or waiter, the quality never disappointed. During Covid we order delivery regularly because we didn't realize how much this spot because our Caribbean food must have. I can't say we ever really had tried a different meal from over favorable ones that made us say this is one thing they don't get right to us. And the rum punches and Bob Marley drinks they served during their dinning days is what got me to the pin t I had to start stopping in this joint just to have a drink and appetizers. This really used to be by spot back when they had dine in services. Over the years it's in our delivery/pickup Bronx favorite list unfortunately. I say unfortunately because now that we are back at full operational living. I har to slash the delivery/pickup weekly rituals to only situations of desperation not necessity. So this spot has only become a craving order delivery/pickup order spot. Not a I got some/gonna make some time to go enjoy a drink and some Caribbean food spot destination. Which this was my #1 default choice before Covid as I said this used to be my spot. I would take my daughters here damn there biweekly if not be there weekly myself on dates and when hanging out . Cause they people there were serious enough about customer service they would acknowledge knowing who you are and treat you as such. Hence again why my daughters loved this place as kids. *Looks right and left* a yoo when yall opening the dinning in area again cause it's been log enough now...FIX IT! lol

It comes with Soup or Salad, Choice of baked Potato, French Fries, Linguine or Rice and their famous Garlic Bread. Coffee or Tea and a Dessert of the Day. All for $30.99.

The restaurant has plenty of room for large parties, and I appreciated how accommodating everyone was. Our server, Diana, deserves her flowers. She was friendly, patient, detailed, and stayed on top of everything. Managing a group our size without needing the Avengers as backup deserves some recognition. Now, the food. Visually, everything came out looking good and cooked properly. The biggest issue across our table was simple: SALT. Somebody apparently sent the seasoning to a galaxy far, far away. I ordered the crab cakes. They were made with real crab and prepared the way crab cakes should be, but mine had almost no flavor. I ended up adding blue cheese to give them some life. I also had the rice with broiled scallops. The scallops were a little chewy, but the sauce had enough seasoning and salt that mixing some into the rice helped tremendously. I wasn't the only one reaching for the salt shaker either. Several people in our group added salt to their meals. The prices also felt high, especially since many of us ordered from the lunch menu. None of this makes me write the place off. The service was strong, they treated our large group well, the seafood was fresh, and there are several things on the menu I still want to try. So yes, I'll return. My final message to the kitchen, with all the seriousness of Captain Picard addressing the bridge: Season the food. The Force is already with the seafood. Now bring the salt.

    I think I officially found my new seafood spot!…read more My boyfriend took me to City Island Lobster House, and the food and service were easily a 5/5. Our waiter, Antonio, was an absolute delight and took great care of us! Fair warning: this place gets PACKED, so be prepared for a wait. One thing I really appreciated, though, was that as soon as our food was ready, they brought it out. Everything arrived HOT and fresh. They start you off with antipasto and garlic bread, and both were SO good. But consider yourself warned pace yourself. We made the rookie mistake of going in a little too hard and were already getting full before our entrées arrived. I mean... you can't go to the Lobster House and not get lobster. I ordered the $49.95 Lobster Clam Bake Special, which came with Maine lobster, mussels, baked clams, corn, clam chowder and dessert. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and for everything included, I thought it was a great value. My boyfriend ordered the grilled Norwegian salmon, and honestly, his was REALLY good too. Now, if you love garlic like I do, GET THE NOODLES. The linguine in that garlicky olive oil sauce was one of my favorite things on the table. My only miss was the clam chowder. Mine had a lot of potatoes and barely any clams, so I would've liked a much better clam-to-potato ratio. The ice cream cake roll that came with my special, was rich and decadent. Definitely a good way to end the meal. Overall, fresh seafood, generous portions, hot food, great value and wonderful service from Antonio. We will absolutely be back!
