    From the food, service and ambiance everything at this place was quite a surprise. Their food is very fresh. The service is attentive considering it's a buffet. I opted in for a variety of things. Started with their hibachi with no carbs (aka no rice or noodles) just to get it going. Had some steak, had some wings, seafood stuffed whatever you call it lol. Some shrimp some wings. Got some pernil and a few pieces of sushi. Also got some short ribs. Can't lie for a buffet this exceeded my expectations as far as the food quality and freshness. This is definitely a spot to go to. I'll return again because overall it did not make me feel nauseous and the selections were great.

    The establishment was clean and plentiful selection from buffet. The service staff were friendly.

    Probably the best pan fried dumplings I had in awhile

    Lot of Buffets seem to pop up everywhere now a days. I have to admit the aesthetics of this place does attract many people who wants to do events, catering, even heck a date I saw at a few tables or just a casual family outing or some friends to go beast mode on. If i was 18. I would probably say. WOW! This place is my jam! Has all the pizza, fries, bourbon chicken, fried seafoods, steak you'll ever have. We came on a Sunday around 1:30 PM. Which to me is considered lunch time?! I was in a bit of disbelief that they charged us dinner prices. I mean if they were going to charge us dinner prices. I was expected better options? Sushi station was lack lustered. Sure every roll looks pretty and what not. But when you actually look at the contents. It's all pretty much the same imitation crab meat inside, Avacado outside or vise versa, or deep fried. Regardless its just the same. The Sashimi was questionable. I played it safe and had the grilled eel with rice..and even that tasted as if it just came out the fridge....yesterday. Majority of the rice that was rolled was cold. Had a more "takeout" quality for majority of them. The cook stations were limited. There was a "fast food" I called it station which has your typical pork fried rice, lo mein, chicken broccoli, bourbon chicken, Mongolian Beef, etc. Hey! If you're into that go for it! The Seafood station were just all frozen fish, crabs, crab legs, and variety of shrimps. Most of them were doused with asian-esque sauces which was fine. The fried food station had all the things the kiddies would like, french fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, fried chicken etc. I do have to say though. That pan fried dumpling is the bombs! That is some old school chinese dumplings that you don't really see anymore at any authentic restaurants. Definitely gave me the nostalgic vibes. The grill/hibachi station. Stick with the Steak i'd say. Everything else.. .meh. Desserts, fruits, salad, and their "ice cream" Aka ice milk is your standard buffet selections. Although that weird marshmallow, orange? cream thing...was surprisingly good. Never had that before. Overall. Sunday. 1:30 PM. 2 ppl ... about $70+ for what they had imo doesn't seem worth it. But if you're into asian fast food cuisine mixed style then sure! Go on ahead. But for that price. It's hard to compete with others that have better selections. Service though is top notch! Credit to the hard workers that do their best to upkeep the place!

    I found Ocean Buffet while searching on Yelp for a new buffet that was clean and offered a wide variety of options, and I'm so glad I did! This is now my new favorite go-to buffet. The restaurant is huge, spacious, and very clean, which immediately made a great first impression. The staff is fast, attentive, and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. What really stood out to me was the incredible variety of food choices. There's truly something for everyone. I especially appreciated how organized everything was -- Chinese dishes in one area, sushi in another, plus separate dessert and fruit stations. It makes it easy to find exactly what you're in the mood for without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, a fantastic buffet experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Came here with my family to celebrate mother's day. This place is really beautiful and elegant. They have a ton of food options and they even have roasters with fresh meat coming out. I will say that when I went it was super crowded but overall the food was good and plentiful. The food definitely has flavor. One thing I need to point out is how amazing the staff is. My mother had a little issue with her foot being hurt and the staff were so so helpful. Everyone was very kind and attentive.

    We arrived here with a party of 27 after a funeral. The staff was very accommodating and seated us in a private room. The food choices were overwhelmingly numerous- so many dishes to choose from. They had a separate area for the sushi which was continuously being made by several sushi chefs. The only downer was that the ice cream machine was not working. But still- a nice meal with our family and friends celebrating a life well lived.

    This new Asian buffet could actually work here in this space. Many places have come and gone because its just so big for the traffic which means it might be super high rent - not fully justified in this quiet spot- sure its near a Mall but one that has emptied save One last store. It's in a smaller group of shops but Staples, Shoprite, Raymour, a National Liquidators are not exactly places Millennials will come and drop real $. - a Party store was just having its last day a few shops down. So went in with a few people and was PLEASANTLY surprised. Bright, fun, some blue lights here and there near the ceiling. Sushi was delicious- and good looking - but above all fresh - they deserve more tipping than buffers usually bring. Food was fine. Was it Ruby Buffet great? No not like Ruby - with the delicious items no one could resist. But Better looking desert - but no one in our group could make it back. Lucky to get to the car because Buffets cause some overeating - too many fun things to try. They had some roasted pork and beef which were ok but heavy. No roast pork spareribs like Global. Aome dumping but not the same level - And any chicken dishes there was way too fried over shredded looking and didnt appear to BE normal chicken pieces- someone tried soup and it was better than other buffets. So enjoyed the tea, sushi, sesame balls with red bean paste - love those - string beans, mushrooms, coconut shrimp, salmon etc etc etc etc etc and the next etc was where we all we too far. Next time one small plate!!! Fun spot to enjoy a fun buffet in a roomy spacious cheerfully decorated place. Lighting is also relaxed enough to enjoy a nice time. Service was e energetic and helpful. Pleasant all around place - we had lunch - dinner brings in all bunch of seafood lover items.

    This buffet is very convenient and full of a sweet variety of options for a decent price. The variety of sushi options was what really drew me in. The fish quality is good for the price point. The pepper tuna was definitely my favorite. They have some pretty good cooked seafood such as flounder and salmon, but it's probably not worth it to come here if you aren't a sushi person Some of the non-seafood options were pretty undesirable but you don't come here for that. The service was fine and the atmosphere was very very pleasant for a buffet. The interior design and layout was much better than expected. This place finds a nice middle ground between a typical cheap buffet and an all you can eat sushi place. I definitely recommend checking it out if you're a seafood lover looking for some variety. However, there are much better options on long island for all you can eat sushi if that's what you're looking for.

I will preface this by saying I consider K-city a 5/5 for Long Island - probably a 4/5 if K-city was in Queens tbh. If i was in the Nassau area I default to K-city vs. Kpot! I mainly go to K-city for the hotpot vs. the kbbq/hot food selection. The bbq is okay but the grill itself is pretty small. The prepared food selection is also okay, includes both hot food & sushi but I mainly consider it as food to eat while my hotpot is getting ready (lol). The broths are very legit with the variety offered being spicy (mala with the Szechuan peppercorns), mushroom, pork bone, herbal ( I believe is a mix of pork & chicken + herbs), tomato and mushroom. My favorite thus far have been the spicy & herbal! I appreciate that the meats are also included in the buffet section as well so I can control the quantity as opposed to some other hotpot/bbq places where the meats come pre-portioned. I think the main drawback of K-City as opposed to Spring Shabu (my personal 2nd favorite choice in nassau) is definitely the veggie selection & quality. Having said that, the veggie selection is okay and has the main things I get like the enoki mushrooms, napa cabbage, broccoli and noodles.

They have 27 appetizers, 8 lovely salads, ( the spicy Kani was a popular one ), 7 types of soups, 9 different teriyaki items, special rolls and some really good quality sashimi- I got the tuna, salmon and yellowtail. The fish, gorgeous - melt in the mouth, fresh, generous portions and the accompanying wasabi and ginger was very, very good. I love that the house salad came with plenty of sesame ginger dressing( photo); the miso soup was hot and delicious. I ordered the pink lady special roll and it was outstanding. Again, everyone probably heard me moan in Ohio. 9 different desserts including ice cream, Oreo cheesecake. They have the best shrimp teriyaki with 20 pieces of big and juicy prawns grilled to perfection with that aroma and a light but addicting sauce over it. 5) Loved the iPad to order which went right to the kitchen vs the paper handwritten do overs. 6) Loved the service - attentive, caring, very polite, alert! 7) Loved that they offered both a senior(65 plus) or a military with ID discount( both 10 percent). 8) Loved the free parking right outside the back door. 9) Loved the decor, the colors and the vibe with a very cute bar. 10) Loved the clean men's restroom. Very nice and peaceful. I will definitely be back.

    We had a fantastic lunch at this restaurant today!…read more The hospitality was top-notch from the moment we arrived. Our server, Gina V., was delightful, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. The owner, Joe, also stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect, which truly showed how much they care about their guests. The last time I dined here, I ordered the 4-pound stuffed lobster, and it was so memorable that I couldn't resist ordering it again. It was just as delicious as I remembered--loaded with shrimp and scallops, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. I chose the New England clam chowder as my side, which was excellent as well. The portions were incredibly generous, and I ended up taking most of my meal home to enjoy later. My husband ordered the stuffed shrimp and flounder combination and loved it. He said the fish was very fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Once again, we left thoroughly satisfied.

    Good afternoon,…read more Well, finally got back to a wonderful seafood restaurant. This past week was restaurant week and the place was jumping. As always, we are never disappointed with the service or the food. This restaurant has truly found the magic that makes this business hop. I suggest downloading his app and giving it a try. Better than any restaurant in Freeport. Always fresh products and new features.
