    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

    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

    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!

    This was my first time at Skillman Wok, but it won't be my last. When we walked in, we were greeted…read moreimmediately, and the staff was very friendly. When they found out, it was our first time there, they asked what kind of food we liked, so they could help make a recommendation. I chose their Szechuan sauce with their vegetable melody. That had squash, little corn, bell pepper, onions, mushrooms, and watercrest. It was very tasty and you can choose your level of spiciness. I also really appreciated all of the vegetables, since I don't eat meat but I still got full. They have a huge selection from Pho to chicken wings. So whatever you have a taste for you will probably find it here. they don't do traditional egg rolls. They do vegetable spring rolls, which was also good for me. Because I don't eat meat, but my husband was not as crazy about them because he likes meat in his spring rolls. He did enjoy his main entree, which was the pepper steak with veggies. The portion size are nice considering the affordable prices. I also got their milk tea and I got it with a boba, the milk tea itself was really good, but it was a little light on the boba. And the boba they put in, was mango flavor which I ate and it was good but it didn't really fit the type of milk tea I got. I do look forward to going back again because they have tilapia and vegetable pho and I love pho! I also love that it is so close to my house.

    So, I stopped in before closing. What a mistake. While the place was clean and the offerings were…read morediverse, the food is horrible! Maybe this was a bad night/time. 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.

    We went to Ocean Buffet about a week ago and had a terrible experience. Tonight, we couldn't think…read moreof what to eat but wanted Asian food, then remembered AA China Super Buffet (funny name but whatever). It's like the tried-and-true buffet restaurant for us. 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

The last order my son placed with them didn't have the shrimp i ordered and the crispies for the egg drop soup were stale and flavorless, but we gave them another chance just to be treated so rudely. We will NEVER go there again and I will be reporting them to the BBB. You can't take people's $$$ and treat them like shit!!! I'm letting everyone I know to NEVER do business with them thieving jerks!!!
