I've eaten here on a few occasions. It's inexpensive and you can get them to make sushi for you, on the spot. For $8 and all the sushi you can eat, there's a deal. All the other things there have a bit of room for improvement, but the sushi makes up for it. read more

I am a vegan. I came to this buffet thinking that I could eat some fresh stir fried veggies. Boy, was I wrong. Even though it was 5:30 in the evening (supper time), the veggies were extremely soggy, oily and old. No white rice, only fried rice. At night, I had weird nightmares which always indicates tainted food or MSG. read more

This buffet offers several varieties of food, to sushi and a fresh hibachi grill to good fresh chinese food. I have never been there where the food was stale or bad. It's self serve and the wait staff brings you refills and or whatever else you need. I would reccomend this place if you are looking for an inexpensive place to eat in Garland. Thumbs up. read more

Not the best but I like this place. I have been here many times but the best time to go is Sunday's between the hours 1pm-8pm it might be busy but that the best time to go well the reason that is... if it not busy its seems like they leave the food set there all day long. not good at all....But there was a few times I been here and I was very disappointed but then I come back and it was A- OK. read more

I went in the afternoon between 2 and 4. The advertisement I received said there were over 200 items made fresh daily. I figured I could find at least ten that tasted good. I found two that were ok. The pot stickers and boiled shrimp were ok. The other items I tried were almost inedible. My opinion, skip this buffet. There is a reason it is inexpensive. read more

No, I would never go back here. So many tables available, and I was sat in a corner far away from the food. I went for dinner hours before the closing time, and they never refilled anything. So many pans were just left blackened from the heat & empty. Overpriced & depressing. read more

As far as buffets go it is ok. Huge selection. Have I had better...yes. Have I had worse...yes. It is close to my house so very convientnt.

The food is good but not amazing. I like the mongolian grill in it with plenty of ingredients to choose from. On the weekend the food is hot and fresh but during the week some of it dries out or gets cold. We just ate there and had to avoid the salmon, macaroni and cheese and one or two other items due to the age of them. read more

Unfortunately, this place was not worth eating at. Who ever give pass 3 stars does not know what good food is. Neither would I consider this Chinese food in any sense. I do know my Asian food along with other ethnic food. Keep in mind it's a buffet so there's not a high expectation. For being around $10.59 at dinner on Fri/Sat night, you can't expect much either. If the highlight is the snow crab on these 2 nights then you're better off some where else. In terms of freshness, I would give it 4 stars. The place is clean too. Yes, the sushi is fresh, but it's not all that great. They look more like mini garnish rolls. Rule of thumb. If you ever go to an Asian restaurant and most of the guests aren't Asian, turn back around unless you want to be eating bland or over salted food. Their Shanghai Spring rolls should be called fried cabbage rolls because that is what it was with too much salt. Nothing else in the spring wrapper except cabbage and salt. I was at least expecting more variety of some sort. No pan fried dumplings or a variety of those usual appetizers. Oddly enough they had apple strudel. It was flakey on the outside, but the inside probably has too much of the apple pie filling to give it a soaked texture. There were plenty of shrimp, New Zealand mussels, baked squid rings, steamed flounder with Western seasoning and fried catfish with potato wedges. I didn't touch the soup. Can figure it out that it wasn't worth tasting. If the theme of the place is to be seafood then you would be very disappointed that's all the seafood there was. It wasn't extremely busy, but more than half way full. The lights were on too bright from every direction in case you really want to see how clean their floors are and find every speck of black pepper. They should use seperate spatulas to cook the grilled food for each guest. I didn't appreciate my food being mixed with chili pepper from the previous person in front of me. This is cross contamination that can cause a very bad allergic reaction for some. I don't think they are aware of that. Dessert was gelatin, banana pudding that was too sweet, canned peaches, pears, Mandarin orange, pineapple and lychee. As for fresh fruit, there were oranges, canteloupe and honeydew melon. There were rolls of dried cake, soft serve ice cream, macaroon, cheesecake and dried flakey pastry that isn't worth trying. You want sushi and sashimi at a good price along with a variety of other foods that doesn't limit you to waiting for the grill guy to cook your food together with others then try going to Osaka in W. Plano on weekday lunch about $17. It's worth it for the sashimi alone. It has been fresh every time I've eaten there. I've been to a lot of places all over town and know some places aren't all that and some are worth it for certain things. In terms of clean place to eat and fresh, this place got that. In terms of food to remember, I rather forget that I was there. I'm being as fair and straight forward about this place as I can be to let others know what they're in for. I've been to places that cost more and less than this place that I rather go to any time than here if I want to get my money's worth and actually enjoy eating something. You can find a 10% coupon for this place on Valu-Pak site. Just type the name of the place and coupon in search engine. I wouldn't come to this place again even if it was free. I should have gone to Wendy's and settled for a value meal. This is usually my last resort. There are better buffets to remember for the food in town than this place. read more

Service could be better. Food is descent depending on what you get. I did enjoy the grilled chicken and the sweet buns.

Its a big cheap buffet with lots of choices. I wish they had more vegetables.

Worth it! Have been many times and was never dissatisfied. Plenty of choices all served fresh. I'll put this as the best in metroplex. Can't wait to get back :) read more

Food is not good we have to wait over 30 mins for them to bring more crab legs out. Any way not worth it.

I Simply love this place . Nothing else to say . I come eat here at least 2 times a month maybe more

The absolute worst buffet I've ever been too. The buffet was empty and the servers could not keep up with the demand. I service at the table was just as bad. Hardly saw the server until she brought the check. Plates were piled on the table and our drinks were empty. I spoke with a manager and he apologized but couldn't do anything about it. Waste of money- I DO NOT recommend read more

Parking is easy. Price is comparable to similar Chinese buffets. The food tasted OK. Actually like it more now that I have been to some other Chinese buffets. It has a large variety of Chinese food, sushi, American food, several desserts. The Spring Egg Rolls are ok, would have preferred regular Pork Egg Rolls rather than the Dragon Rolls that they have (just meat rather than vegetables and meat). read more

I love eating here. The hibachi grill to me isn't that great, but this rest of there food is pretty dang good.

Food was ok, lots of cold dishes that were meant to be hot. Tea yuk. Service..... not so good either.

Best place for all you can eat sushi. Lol its a guilty pleasure, but I go once a week, pay 8 bucks, and eat what would normally cost at least 60 bucks worth of sushi. Great place to take the girlfriend out on "date nights" without blowing the budget. Too bad they don't serve Saki! read more

For a buffet, clean, good selection, fresh and good flavors. A bit above my expectations for a buffet. Would come again

Nope ,not gonna eat there again. Overpriced! The black pepper chicken was good though.not enough selection on food but had a whole table and a half dedicated to diferent colored Jell-O. read more

Try to keep it short and sweet. They have a pretty big variety and a nice decor, and they keep food rotated pretty. But personally wasn't a favorite of mine, the food had a taste that I wasn't particular a fan of. But it was affordable read more

This is one of the better Chinese buffets in the area for the price. Decent selection of sushi compared to others and fairly fresh. Large selection of Chinese food. Their salt and pepper shrimp is good and disappears quickly from the buffet. If you are one of the sorts to go to the buffet for crabs legs, they only serve them at dinner to my knowledge and better be prepared to circle that spot like a vulture. I have yet to try their hibachi but there is often a line of people waiting for it so I will take that as a good sign. They have a few non-Chinese options such as pizza which go over well with my kids. Their dessert selection is huge but mainly comprised of different fruits such as pineapple, peaches, pears, and apples. My hubby always gets their banana pudding. Their wait staff is hit or miss as I have had some who were spot on with drink refills and removing finished plates, but just last night had to practically hunt down our waitress for everything from refills to our check. read more

After my 2nd trip here, decided to write a review. My boyfriend who is from New York is a very picky chinese food eater & complained about not finding any good chinese buffets here in Dallas. Well someone recommended Ocean Buffet & there we went. The atmosphere I enjoyed, it was quiet but still had a good vibe. The staff was friendly enough. What I enjoyed most was the fried shrimp, the blackened shrimp, the orange chicken,the chicken on a stick, the hot wings, the deserts were the bomb! I normally love the cooked mushrooms, but the mushrooms here were too big & no flavor. The sweet & sour soup had plenty of tofu/veggies, but lacked any kind of flavor! The little fried crab meat thingamajigs were good until I realized it wasn't real crab meat..Ugh! Anyhoo, overall it wasn't the best we ever had, but my boyfriend said he would eat there again! For the price of $11...we went home with a smile, didn't experience any problems with digesting the food, and had to unbuckle our jeans on the way out! Not bad! read more

First of all I am a big fan of sushi! My wife and I were craving sushi tonight but did not want to spend a lot of money. We came across an add in the paper of Ocean Buffet and thought we would give it a try. I have been to a few of these "super buffets" and am usually disappointed with service and food quality. Besides having to drive 25-30 min to get here I thought the food was excellent! I believe they take a lot of pride in the restaurant and the Sushi was surprisingly very good and fresh! Good hours and well worth the price. We will be back! read more

They have a large selection of food. I won't recommend going on the weekend because it is always packed and you most likely will just see empty trays. Food is what to be expected from a buffet. Nothing fancy. Staff is cool. read more

We love it! I do hate that I tend to only get shrimp and don't taste so much other food. I get full off of just the shrimp after one serving. Because of price, you try to force yourself to eat more but in reality, one plate full is more than enough. We go about 3 times a year. read more

A complete let down. I thought maybe this will be a good Chinese buffet restaurant coz of the great reviews. Not so great!!!! So many down side: bad service all around(finished plates waiting to be taken away, food bland or too salty, seafood was stale like it had been in the pan for a week (crab legs)(crawfish wasn't even washed before it was cooked), desserts was nothing special and was almost all out of stock, had to wait along time on the fried shrimp, and most of the waiters just stand in their corner instead of going on their rounds to see if anything is needed by the customers. My two cents, go somewhere else to eat. ( I had a party of 15, all of us rated this restaurant a BLAH!) read more

I will NOT be going back there. The food was cold and not fresh. I waited and waited and waited and waited and..(you get the idea), for a couple of dishes that never arrived. Someone there must be a true believer that mayo goes in everything. I had to stick with the appetizers just to try and make up for the money I wasted there. Even those were just barely tolerable. read more
