We were a party of 3 and had the Saturday dinner here. I had the stone crab, roast pork, chicken in a stick, lo mein, and vegetable fried rice. It was self-serve buffet style and all the food was reloaded as needed. Our group had a good experience here.

I've been to buffets before, but never won as large as this one. There was a very large variety of food that was all kept very hot and the pans were changed out regularly. Highly enjoyed the food that I had here. Staff was quick and getting refills and getting rid of your dirty dishes was a little bit pricey, but worth it for the variety of food that they had. Everything from sliced or beef, to pizza, to a large variety of Chinese food, to sushi as well as food that could be cooked to order. Very clean.

Mostly questionable looking food. Not at all tasty. Not my cup of tea and I wouldn't recommend.

Menu

Once again I wrote an entire review that somehow did not process to Yelp. The short of the repeat here is that the place has been around for many years and is in the Tricounty shopping center on Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown. Todays visit with friends, I met a lovely young woman at the front, found plenty of seating, wait service for the basics and buffet large choice of foods to choose from. At 1 pm there were still a few breakfast bits in trays, sausage well cooked but french toast dry and over cooked in the heat tray and light. Yet the few pieces were there from breakfast. Hibachi still nice for a fresh dish. They don't have ducksauce but thats not enough to take away a star. There is plenty of parking .Note: Find a server who can answer your questions if need be. Note: Seniors -cost is different- (see menu pix) tips will be accepted, not included in price.

Good, not great. I found a lot of the food to be quite dry. The sushi was pretty good, so compliments to the hard working chefs there. The service was also good, everyone was very attentive. The bathrooms left much to be desired. Lot of graffiti in the stalls, not really kid appropriate. Can't say I would recommend.

Happy vegan customer.
Joyce G.

Being a vegan, I am happy eating here because there are many vegetables, salad items, and fruits to eat. Although the pureed sweet potatos have marshmellows amongst it, I carefully take spoonfuls from between the marshmellows. Some of the food is a little bit too salty. Also the spinach has cheese on it so I flip it over and scrape the spinach into my plate, trying to avoid the cheese. The place is decorated nicely, and looks clean. There are nice servers to clean up between courses. I am thinking 4.5 stars.

Desserts

Came here for a family lunch and was surprised by the price of only $16 for lunch. The selection was decent with a mix of both western and Chinese food including a sushi bar, teppanyaki station, and hot food bars. I loaded my plate with pork chop, fried fish, lo mein, and veg. The food was decent but unfortunately not warm enough. I definitely think it would taste a whole lot better if the food was a bit hotter. The dessert selection was decent with an ice cream machine and cakes. Overall not bad for the price.

Went for a beach day in Long Island & my cousin really wanted to try this place, so off we went even though we have to drive thru long LI traffic for 40 minutes! The place is bigger than most chinese buffet spots, they also have a varied selection of food. The sushi bar has a good selection & looks fresh. The food at the buffet area are well presented & replenish fast. Our waitress is also attentive and refills our sodas & water as soon as we are low as well as collect our used dishes without us asking Not the best buffet ive been to but i can say the food is fresh & maybe lower in sodium than most all you can eat places i have been to. The place looks fancier than the usual buffet spots with chandelliers & clean bathrooms. The price is also reasonable. most likely we will go back if we are in the area and not on a rush hour!

Rah D.

I have been coming for years ever since it was the Country Buffet prior. I still miss the breakfast from the old name. I prefer this buffet over others because it seems to be less sodium It is always clean and the staff is friendly. Food seems to be in a good rotation to keep it fresh

a variety of food on display

Was it Breakfast?My daughter and I stopped into Global.It may have been before noon. My foodie daughter came back to our table with what sure looked like breakfast. Two eggs sunny side up and what looked like a large hash brown. 5 star.

We went at 1:30 and they did have a breakfast section . We ate lunch. I did have a breakfast sausage.

Come for Saturday lunch?

There's weekend lunch price, still cheaper than Queens or Brooklyn

Why can't I find Menu's? Do you have alcoholic beverages? Are you planning to offer Breakfast on weekends as OCB did?

I dont remember seeing a menu but there is an endless amount of food! You will definitely find something you like and I recommend going on a weekend. They have alcoholic drinks and a bar. No breakfast - its just like any other asian buffet except…

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.

I've never had shabu shabu…read morebefore, and it was pretty much the same as other hot pot places that I've been to, but I was really blown away at how clean and modern and large this restaurant was. We came on a Friday night close to 6:30 PM, and it was already pretty full, but thankfully we did not have to wait. Like other people have said in the reviews, I feel like the food was all fresh, and I really liked that they tried to keep it on ice. There's also a huge sauce selection, and I also appreciate that they had soft serve ice cream as well. It's $25 per person as of September 2026, but of course, if you get meat as well as any other beverages, those are additional costs. With tip, for two of us, the total ended up being closer to $100. But both of us felt like it was a really good amount of food for what we paid, and the experience was nice. They also had music playing, so it was kind of fun to dance along in our seats while we were eating. I can definitely see us making more trips here, especially in the colder months!

I wasn't sure how I felt about paying a base price and then meat by the plate, but I actually prefer it! The veggies were all so fresh, and there were many choices of veggies, fishcake, and noodles. Our server, Susi, gave such great service. She took our initial meat order. checked on us regularly to see if we needed more water, fill our hot pot when the broth was running low, and made just enough small talk to make us feel welcome and taken care of. She explained the way things work when we first sat down, and let us know when the buffet was closing soon. The restaurant was very clean, overall very well run, and dessert (ice cream and dole whip) was the cherry on top! I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Hempstead.

No need to fear about speaking English - the staff speak better English than me! Speaking of staff - Nick was our server for a large group ranging from infant to senior citizens. He was patient with our many questions about the different types of meat and was ever attentive to all of our needs, both young and old. Nick was so good, we had the manager (who had just finished her shift and was walking in the parking lot) return to the restaurant so that we could let her know how great Nick was!

There aren't vents above the grills so the smoke can get on you and in your way (my friend was coughing and sweating a lot every time the smoke blew her way...). We tried the pork spicy bulgogi, spicy chicken, and chicken breast (plain). The marinades ran far too sweet for my likely so I ended up preferring the plain chicken and also didn't think the marinades were spicy enough. The spicy tofu soup was a great side option to have. The banchan were also all slightly too sweet for me, the soybean sprouts were my favorite mainly because they were not overly sweetened. The radish, daikon, and kimchi were all way too sweet and really tolerable for a couple bites. Also tried the grilled vegetables and bibimbap bowl for some additional veggies and rice. The service is quite good and their staff will help grill and check in on your food so you can focus on eating. The music here is a tad loud but you can still have a conversation. Per person cost was nearly $50 so it exceeded $60 per person with tip. Would only recommend if you can tolerate sweet marinades and can get your money's worth for that base cost.
