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.

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.

The best item on my plate was the corn. My friend, who is usually a foodie, did not like the food either and struggled to finish his meal. The menu options were also very limited.

There is nice music playing but low enough for conversations to be had. The staff was quick in clearing the table of finished plates and quite attentive. Now the food, 70% of the food was good, tender meats, sushi was decently fresh. The other 30% was unappetizing, the dimsum was sad looking and lacking variety, oyster grilling station took forever to cook, the crabs were lacklustered and didn't taste fresh. Also I'm guessing because of the promotion, a lot of items left off the menu (no snow crab legs, or abalone to name a few) Overall for the promotional price, definitely worth coming to try, better than most buffets in the city and the positives outweigh the negatives and you will definitely leave full.

Their fruits selection and ice cream is just as good! They have alot of seating and the times I've been, I didn't need to make reservation and was able to be seated immediately. The servers constantly walk around and clear your table of plates so it'll always be empty when you come back with a new plate of food. This is my go to spot for buffets in flushing for sure!

I had dinner here with a large group for a friend's surprise birthday event. This place was quite…read morelarge and decorated festively. We were seated in a semi private back room with a few other groups. The buffet had an extensive variety of seafood, sushi, fried foods, veggies, Chinese dishes, salad, soups, fruit, desserts, including ice cream and popsicles. I really enjoyed the steamed crab, shrimp, BBQ ribs, and grilled fish. The Crab was delightfully tender. Shrimp was nice and juicy. BBQ Ribs were succulent and well seasoned. There were a few items that were not good, such as the Egg Tart and Fried Calamari, which was rubbery and bland. There was also Hibachi grill, where you choose the ingredients and it is cooked in front of you. I selected noodles, egg, broccoli, shrimp, crab, steak, carrots, and more, paired with teriyaki garlic sauce. The meats and veggies were cooked perfectly, but there was too much teriyaki, making the dish too sweet. Desserts included fresh fruits, mini cakes, sugary donuts, tasty tarts, sweet ice cream, yummy ice pops, fudge bars, and more. Service was good. The waitresses were efficient and brought drinks out in a timely manner. Cost of the buffet was a super great deal at only $20.

I've been here enough times to be able to give a solid review. The consistency in the taste of the…read morefood is consistent. Always delicious, & they replenish the trays fast, as needed. The food options are extensive. I've never gotten ill from eating in this place. The seafood is the star of the show! The seasoning is top notch! Instead of going to a seafood place to spend hundreds you can spend the entry and get all the seafood you want unless you want lobster lol it's worth the price The service is friendly and attentive, I don't have to chase after a waiter to refill my drink or remove my plates. They always come around to check on you. I recommend you bring cash if you want to tip, the bill is paid in the front before entering. They should consider cleaning the bathroom ever so often during service hours, because it can get pretty gross and I avoid it all cost. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the area this place is located in and the people that come here. I try to avoid coming here too late where it's more prone to getting more people. There has never been an issue or conflict before (surprisingly) until my last visit where females started arguing. It was brief and did not escalate but still a ghetto mess and I was not surprised. The difference is that this time I was seated in the middle where the area is more crowded towards the entrance. Usually I get seated towards the hibachi station and there has never been an issue there, and it isn't as crowded. I'll stick to that side next time. Also, I'm a sushi lover but I'm not a fan of their sushi. I don't like cold rice or cold sushi.. it makes sense why they have it plated on all cooler setting but it doesn't taste too good to me.

In a state that has an abundance of Chinese buffets, they all seem to be cut from the same cloth:…read morebasic, no-frills, & you pay for what you get. You don't pay for a wonderful "experience" --- that was never part of the package. UMI Premium Sushi & Seafood Buffet changes that, and offers the Chinese Buffet in a setting that is bright, open, and beautifully decorated. There is no real "server" when you come here, all of the servers work as a collective --- you call one down, they bring you your drink, another passes by they collect your plate. These workers definitely work in harmony. Now I have to say: this Buffet is a bit pricier than the normal "Flaming Grill & Buffet" --- adults are $23.99 and kids are between $11-16. But remember: you getting not just the food --- your getting what most other buffets don't offer: AN EXPERIENCE. Besides the "hot dishes" like hibachi beef and orange chicken, UMI Premium Sushi & Seafood Buffet offers a wide variety not seen anywhere else: Hot Pot anyone? Included! Ramen? Included! Unlimited Bubble Tea? Included! Beverages? Included! Taste-wise I was thoroughly impressed. Since this is a popular buffet, it seems the food is refreshed quite often, meaning nothing will remain in the warmers for too long. Some of my favorites? Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Braised Pork Belly, and the Cantaloupe Boba Tea. True to it's name, this Buffet exceeded my expectations, was an absolute EXPERIENCE and I can't wait for another visit!

Like any buffet, there's endless options until you get tired of eating the same food over and over. Unlimited lobster and they replenish the trays pretty often -- great deal. The sushi bar was pretty big but taste was only meh to me. There's unlimited drinks and desserts to choose from. You can also order hot pot or ramen, all included. I didn't try the ramen but I would suggest not wasting your calories on the hot pot. They come out with a small pot warmed by a candle for you to cook the food. However, the soup base is super watered down and basically flavorless. Don't waste your time. Stand out dishes were the crab legs, herbal soup with abalone, cold appetizers, endless lobsters. Service was okay and standard for a buffet.
