    This buffet is very clean, modern, and well-lit, with plenty of food options to choose from. It's located a bit farther out, but it's worth the drive. The food was fresh and tasted really good.

    Mediocre at best but lots and lots of variety The habachi chicken was good The sushi and rolls were decent, good value Soups, esp the Miso was good The rest was meh Stay away from the kimchi, spare ribs, orange chicken and broccoli chicken. Parking is a chore, you are competing with planet fitness during dinner hours Would I come back, probably, but not my first pick

    Still a solid 4 stars for what it is. We took the extended family here on the second visit. I got my usual, but made a beeline for the pork buns first. They were great as always, and I appreciate this place has them because no other buffet I've been to has them to offer. We sat in the same room as we did last time, and the staff were all attentive. Worth a mention: I didn't get the seafood. I would suggest that this business give customers a way to crack the shells open. I did see several people struggling to get the crab meat out of the shells. My sister-in-law gave up trying to open hers because she couldn't. Customers, take your own cracking supplies. (ETA UPDATE: someone informed me you can ask the servers for crackers for the shells and they'll give them to you...didn't know that but it's great info for those who need them)

    This place was super hyped up on social media, so I had pretty high expectations going in. In the spirit of a buffet, we tried lots of different small plates. I will say the variety was impressive, with a lot to choose from. The kitchen staff did a great job keeping everything stocked; I never saw anything running low or sitting empty. The price was reasonable for a seafood buffet, and there are weekday and kids' deals that help keep it affordable. The service was fine. We mostly saw servers when they came by to refill sodas or clear away finished plates. The place was very busy (we waited about 20-30 minutes just to be seated), so service was understandably a bit slower when it came to refills and clearing dishes. Overall, it's a buffet, solid, not bad...but nothing particularly special either.

    I don't normally rate buffets as 5 stars, but Ocean Buffet is an exception. The staff were very nice and the restaurant was clean. The food was plentiful and everything looked fresh. There were a lot of options. The hibachi area was pristine and the uncooked meats looked properly housed and fresh. You are given a beeper to let you know when your grill items are ready. The sushi looked well prepared. There are so many options of food here to choose from I hope the restaurant stays as well kept as it is now.

    What a great find. Stopped in for lunch and they were so busy. They are in a cramped parking lot with alot of speed bumps. I'm so glad we took the suv otherwise we would've had to forget about going through all of those speed bumps. They are so friendly and efficient getting tables cleaned and ready. The food servers were back and forth getting the food restocked. It was good food and they had some dim sum dishes such as chicken feet and hargow there. So surprising! I'd definitely recommend this spot. We drove 45 minutes to come here. Well worth the drive. Melly was our server and made sure we had everything we needed for a great meal.

    Hi everyone! With all the hype about the, brand new, Ocean Buffet in Crawley I had to come over and give it a try.... I'm not sure where to start with this review. The entrance to the restaurant is very nicely done. It is pretty and inviting. The buffet selection is quite large with a good variety of offerings. It is safe to say, there is something for everyone here. The buffet is clean, the food fresh and nicely presented. There is a nice selection of sushi. Many Chinese dishes. And your typical buffet desert selections. Sadly, the food itself can vary in taste from mediocre to fairly good. Nothing great. The service is basically just keeping your beverage glass full to picking up your dirty plates. In both cases, they were sorely lacking. Definitely needing improvement. So you might wonder why, with basically a mediocre review above, I gave Ocean Buffet four stars. Simple. The price! An "early bird" senior buffet is only $10.95! That price makes up for a lot of shortcomings. Am I coming back? Maybe..... Jim

    Comparing asian buffets in DFW area, this one is one of the best. The sushi options alone are stand out!!! I really enjoyed the sushi here and I usually never eat the sushi at buffets. They also had steamed buns which I don't usually see at buffets. Such a wide variety of options here. Hibachi is offer in the buffet too. Just so many good options. It was pretty crowded on a Sunday at 1pm but we got saf within 5 mins. This location is very spacious, fun interior.

    The place looks fun and interesting the food was good and the service was great! It was a wait but not much.

    Burnt Mongolian we waited 20 minutes for
    Heather I.

    This is just an average Chinese buffet. We have been twice since they opened. The first visit the food was decent. Everything was hot and being refilled frequently. The Mongolian grill is set up weird with meats and veggies on one side, grill in the middle, seasonings on the other side of that. There is no sign and no direction on how to use the Mongolian so it is chaotic with people standing on top of each other and nobody being able to communicate with the person that is cooking. The second visit was enough to never go back. All of the food was old and chewy. It was a Sunday night and the place was packed but the food still tasted old. We waited nearly 20 mins for a Mongolian to come out burnt. When we were leaving we went to pay at the counter because our waitress never came back. We were asked if the food was good and we said no. He laughed and I said no I'm serious. He called the manager over who begged us to give him another chance and started singing. I found this odd and a bit annoying, however he did try. He took $4 off a $40 bill and gave us a 10% coupon that expires in a month. It was a nice gesture but at $20 a person, we won't return. Everything seems to be at least wiped down frequently but the music is too loud and happy birthday plays every 5 minutes or so. I wouldn't recommend.

    Lisa our wonderful amazing server, absolutely love her!

I ordered the Generals chicken with extra egg rolls and fried rice. 1. The rice had No flavor, or any additions. No egg. No veg. No FLAVOR! IT WAS GREY. So I added soy sauce. Still Horrible with a weird smell. Next was the Generals chicken. Which was HOT! The bag literally was hard to hold. But when I opened it. Tragic! It was soggy. And bland no veg or seasoning at all! Comeonmane! I paid good money for this. If you don't belive me! Look @ the pics! The craziest thing? All the food had a SMELL. LIKE IT WAS METALLIC OR CHEMICAL. So, I called. After hours. Asking for a refund. In this economy, food is a luxury. This was definitely NOT THAT. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF THEY MAKE THIS RIGHT OR NOT.

As we looked at the menu, we noticed it was a combination of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese food. Interesting. Oh and boba drinks. I'm a big fan of Pad Thai, so I wanted to try that and well, it was a completed let down. It wasn't that bad, but it looked and tasted more like Lo Mein to me. Not sure if the cook got confused or combined the two dishes, since they serve both Chinese and Thai food. My boyfriend ordered the General Tso chicken and well, it tasted like Orange chicken. I really think there's some confusion in the kitchen as to what the dishes really are. It was ok though, just not that much food and really big pieces of chicken. The eggrolls that came with it weren't bad, it had a pretty good crunch and flavor. He also ordered their Strawberry tea with popping boba and it was pretty tasty. Just a lot of ice and not much of the drink. I got the dragon potion which was a nice combination of flavors, but just watered down a bit. Overall, it was ok.

My family I have been dining at AA China Super Buffet for a couple of years, and it's always been pretty good, usually lunch or dinner. It's pretty much what you would expect from a fairly busy restaurant. Here's my review after visiting over the past 2 years. I grew up in the SF Bay Area (Northern Cali) so I've had my share of buffet throughout the years. I truly feel this restaurant deserves a visit. [Good] Food is prepared and presented well Not as bland as other buffet restaurants, actually tastes good Pretty good selection of items for kids, and adults Sushi is actually pretty good, surprisingly good for a buffet Stuffed mushrooms are really good; I usually take most of them. sorry folks. The drinks (soda, lemonade, etc..) aren't watered down. Appreciate that! Cakes and desserts are pretty good Parking lot is large, parking isn't an issue Seating is quick and it's clean Most of all, my son (6-year-old) really enjoys the food [Not so good] The place has aged, needs a bit of a renovation Sometimes the empty serving trays will stay empty for too long, usually like 1 or 2 out of the entire selection, usually the steak or crab

When I got home, there were no eggs at all in either order, not even the standard amount that's supposed to come with it. I even took photos, and you can clearly see there are no eggs in the rice. I called the next day to explain the issue. Instead of trying to understand or resolve it, the person I spoke with kept arguing with me and focusing on the extra eggs and saying they couldn't add those because I hadn't paid for them online, which is fine. Some places just adjust the amount but they clearly don't. That's not the main issue though. I clarified multiple times that even without the extra eggs, the dish is still supposed to include egg by default and mine DID NOT. He insisted that the chefs made it with eggs and said he believed them over me, which was frustrating as a customer. I was basically told to bring the rice back from the night before and they would remake it. Overall, very disappointing experience. The food was incorrect, and the customer service made it worse.
