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.

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.

Sushi Buffet
Savannah M.

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.

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

Bun selections

I've been waiting to try this place since it opened, but was reluctant because buffets can be disappointing. So glad I finally went! This is definitely much bigger and better than other Asian Buffets out there. Often when I go to Asian buffets, I will not even touch what little sushi that may be available because it looks horrible. Well not at Ocean Buffet!! They had tons of selection of sushi and they were fresh and looked great. Overall, the quality of other items that I would normally get at an Asian buffet were much better as well. The chicken actually looks like chicken that I would cook in my home instead of something I'm not so sure about. Well went on the weekend and they had a beautiful selection of cold seafood salads, cold and hot seafood, typical Asian buffet offerings, a variety of steamed buns, deserts, chocolate fountains, fruit, a soup bar, hibachi, American cuisine, and much more. The decor is really nice and adds to the vibe. The staff was friendly and helpful. When comparing Asian Buffets, this was a 5 star experience. FYI, you can also pick up this Buffett to go and you pay by the pound. Not a bad deal. Wish I'd took more pics, but it was so good I forgot.

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 would not go back, the place is a buffet with lots of food, but I would not call it high quality.

Came in tonight with my brother and I ordered 4 dishes. I…read moreordered Bibimbap (Bulgogi) and Omurice. My brother Ordered Bulgogi Fries and the Fried Rice. We decided to dine in. First off I would like to say the people in the register were clearly doing their best. HOWEVER the Kitchen took forever to make our food. It feels weird that they seemed to prioritize the Delivery orders over the dine ins. The front said they were "Slammed" but there were only 4 tables dining in at the time. My brother ended up receiving his Fried Rice first. (Decently fast maybe 5 minutes) after that we waited... for almost 30 min. Nothing. Then the bulgogi fries came out after another 10 min which was my brother's. I haven't received my food yet. Decided to eat some of my brother's food. Bulgogi fries pretty good nice flavor. If my food tasted like this I'd be satisfied even for the long wait honestly. Another 10 minutes pass still no food for me. Once about hour passed I received my Bibimbap. The Namul (Sauteed Vegetables) were burned and the Bulgogi was overcooked. The egg was clearly not seasoned at all. There was NOTHING good about the Bibimbap. And I waited almost an Entire hour for this. After that I wanted to leave but I knew the Omurice would be arriving soon. Hopefully. And thankfully it arrived within the first couple minutes after the Terrible Bibimbap. I didn't bother tasting it until I got home because my mood was ruined after the Bibimbap. Once I got home I ate one bite of the Omurice and it was actually really good! So it left me wondering. HOW?!? I understand you may get a lot of Mobile orders HOWEVER those can literally wait until you click "Your order is ready". And your Bibimbap should NOT be overcooked. You have good Bulgogi why was it good on the Bulgogi fries but when you put it with the bibimbap it's overcooked and bland? Severely disappointed.

Tried this place on a whim, like grabbing that snack at the register you promised yourself you…read moredidn't need, and honestly it was the best impulse decision I've made in a while. The food was excellent. They've got this trio deal (YumDun trio) where you get chicken, a side, and a Korean donut (yes, a donut, because apparently heaven is a place on Earth). There are a few sauces to choose from, I started with the classic which was still flavorful On a separate visit, I tried the Chicken Katsu, which was also a win. The chicken was good, and the sauces had just the right amount of spice. The fries were fresh and just as crispy as the chicken, and even though my order was to-go, it was still piping hot when I got home. Both times I visited, with different staff each time, everyone was polite and ordering was quick and easy. I fully intend to eat my way through the menu like it's a personal mission, so stay tuned for updates on my delicious journey.
