This was my first time here and it won't be my last We were seated promptly and it was pretty crowded for lunch time. The place is huge but spotless, someone is always cleaning the tables and countertops.they have a large seafood buffet with many choices at the sushi bar,soup bar, and at the end don't forget the delicious dessert counter. I can't wait to try out there dinner buffet read more

I would like to start off with the fact i rarely review places i eat at. But oh boy where do i even begin Upon entry it was very cold, i was seated under an air vent and lo and behold all the food is cold. The sushi was freezing, the food was extremely lackluster, all of the meat was chewy and oddly textured. The dessert was not good either. I tried a wide variety of foods and only enjoyed noodles and dumplings. But thats not even the kicker. Our party of 4 upon paying $135 for this terrible food and service was DEMANDED a tip by our waitress before we handed our card over, we said we had cash even tho we didn't because why would i tip a server for handing me 1 glass of water for the evening i literally served myself. Our waitress weirdly hovered the area after we payed and immediately hawked us down after we got up to demand a tip. We walked out , unacceptable I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF IT WAS AN OPTION read more

Go somewhere else. You'll be sorry if you don't listen to me. The air was cold. The food on the buffet was cold. Most of the employees that I encountered were cold. I asked to change tables when we got into the restaurant because the a/c vent was blowing quite hard over the table we were at. The woman who seated us rolled her eyes and took us to another cold section. I was about to take my family and leave when she finally seated us across from the sushi (the warmest area in the restaurant) . The bill was $168 for a family of 5.. The crab legs tasted like they'd been boiled for way too long. They just tasted like water. The chicken wrapped in bacon was salty. The crab and cheese combo tasted like rubber strips. They have some things that you see at every single buffet: barbecue ribs, different kinds of rice, etc. They added a few things you wouldn't expect like the chicken wrapped in bacon. But the word of the day is, "COLD", boys and girls. I wouldn't come back to this restaurant even if it was free What a horrible experience we had. I feel like I just threw away almost $300. Go to the Int'l buffet in Levittown. The people are nicer and the food is warmer. The buffet in Baldwin seems to bring out food more often. I just don't care for the clientele at that location. (ghetto) As for this place, I wouldn't be saddened to hear that it closed. the usual buffet fare. It was just mostly cold. read more

Ocean Buffet in Massapequa is a clean-looking, modern buffet that does a few things well, but overall it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The restaurant has an attractive, contemporary feel with tasteful Asian-inspired décor and upbeat music that creates a pleasant atmosphere. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, making it an enjoyable place to sit and have a meal. Before visiting, I expected the buffet to be more seafood-oriented. Instead, it felt more like a traditional Chinese buffet with a broad assortment of dishes. There was certainly plenty of variety, but the food itself was just average. Nothing I tried was bad, but nothing really stood out as especially flavorful or memorable. There were a lot of choices, but not many that made me want to go back for seconds. The only minor thing I noticed was the floor around the buffet area. It felt a little slick in places, while my wife thought it was slightly sticky. It wasn't a major issue, but it did leave us thinking the floors could probably use a good deep cleaning. The service was easily the highlight of the visit. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and extremely efficient. Used plates never stayed on the table for long, and she kept everything running smoothly without ever being intrusive. Overall, I'm glad I gave Ocean Buffet a try. It's a decent buffet with a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and plenty of variety, but the food didn't quite match my expectations. It's not somewhere I'd visit often, but it was worth trying. The experience overall was good. read more

Slight wait on the weekend but not for too long. Overall there's a large variety of options in Ocean Buffet. There's a good amount of seafood like claw fish, garlic lobster, crab legs and during lunch time, the staff did refill the dishes pretty quick. The food was okay, nothing that was too delicious that would come back for but I guess the different choices made it still somewhat bearable. Would only come back if I'm in that area. read more

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. read more

This location has been a few different restaurants since Olive Garden closed. The Master Grill didn't last long and wasn't very good. I was very skeptical about an all you can eat buffet. But wow, was i impressed. This was so much more than your typical Chinese buffet. And the place is huge with plenty of seating. It's also clean and bright, which makes it feel very welcoming. When we arrived on Saturday at dinner time there was a very short wait and then they walked our party of six to a side room. There were about 5 or 6 other long tables, each able to seat parties of 8. One other family sat down after us. It didn't feel crowded because it was like having our own little space. The seafood all tasted fresh and the choices were amazing. One section had an amazing array of fresh sushi. Another section had beef brisket, sirloin, chicken and some other proteins plus asparagus. They also had a ton of different seafood dishes, including snow crab legs, lobster in basil, flounder, mussels, oyster. Then you had the traditional Chinese "take out" type dishes - general tsos, chicken and broccoli, pepper steak, Mei fun, fried rice etc. Then foods kids might like, including pizza and chicken nuggets. The salad bar was small but had the basics. They had dumplings, Shumai, about 4 kinds of soup, white rice, fresh soup, desserts... the list goes on! It reminded me of a buffet you'd find down south! Really done right, with a lot of variety. My favorites were the duck, spare ribs, beef brisket and sirloin. I wasn't feeling very adventurous but a buffet is a good place to try new things. Come hungry because at $30 per adult it's not cheap but it's well worth it. We will be back! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I tried the dinner buffet and the lunch buffet. Both had so many options to eat. Their sushi rolls are awesome, and they have many stations of different varieties. The dinner had lots of shellfish. The lunch had so much just minus the crab and lobster. Great staff, and good ambiance. read more

The food was fresh and service great! There was several types of sushi along with a wide variety of the typical buffet foods. The place was clean, but freezing inside and I had on a jacket, it felt like I was in an icebox, it was so cold I couldn't enjoy my food. they definitely need to address that. I gave 3 stars because it was soooo cold. read more

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. read more

My in laws love this place so they wanted to come here on Mother's day. I love a good buffet. Service was good, ambiance was nice. Food I ate was okay, they all loved their food. 10 minutes after eating I felt insanely sick. Everyone else was fine but I mean it's a buffet it's not like we all ate the same. It was just not a fun day for me and I wouldn't come back here. My mother in law said maybe it was my ozempic but I never got insanely ill after eating anywhere or anything else like this day lol. Being 20 minutes from home was the worst and I felt bad to make everyone leave so I just jumped in my car and left alone. They've been back a few times since then and even wanted us to go again I said no to soon after but I think I'd be willing to go again after a nice comment here from the owner :) I also added another star just for that. I'll definitely update when I go back. read more

A lot of options to pick from. Not just seafood. Great customer service. The restaurant was nice and clean. Some foods were hit or miss but overall pretty good! read more

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. read more

Genuinely not very good. The options aren't great - lots of the same types of dishes - and nothing tasted very fresh or frankly tasty. The desserts are all non-dairy and again, not very good. For the price of the dinner buffet, I expected a bit better quality and care. read more

Ambiance is good but good is hit and miss. It's never delicious though. Some times it good but that's it and sometimes it's awful. I gave it 3 tries and it wasn't good 2 of them. read more

Here's the Scoop! Just heard about this buffet from my daughter. When we arrived my husband and I realized we were here when it was a barbecue buffet. My daughter treated us to dinner. The restaurant is well lit and beautifully decorated. Lots of seating and can accommodate groups. Nice size booths and table combinations. Upon entering you give your party number you're immediately escorted to a table. There's a Sushi section with many fresh choices. Love, live, love this buffet. A step up from the rest. Service, food and ambiance, the food is displayed and surfaces kept clean. Constant refills on foods liked most. Many fish and meat choices. Varieties of fresh vegetables seasoned and tasty. Soup bar is fabulous as well as desserts. Overall 5 stars. I know I'll be back again. read more

I normally don't frequent too many Buffets because for one their not all that great and I usually stay away from the one's where you get the food yourself god knows how long it's been sitting. Well biggest mistake I made was not adhering to those rules and took a chance on Ocean Buffet. Definitely not impressed really not a lot of variety in anything they serve and low quality. The sushi rolls awful. Cold stale rice mediocre fish hidden by too much sauce. Every sushi roll is sauced up and low quality. A ton of fried food sorry I don't eat fried so can't say anything about that. Cooked fish below the grade they serve at a roadside shack. The price way too much for what this is. I wish I could get my money back I wouldn't eat here if the owner gave me a free dinner. The only fantastic surprise here is that I didn't get deathly Ill. read more

I came here with my cousin and niece, and for around thirty dollars per adult on the weekend, it was absolutely worth it. There is really nothing bad I can say about this place because everything we tried was genuinely good. The buffet selection was impressive, especially the sushi section which alone made the price feel justified. The grill area was another highlight offering steak, ribs, and other freshly grilled items cooked just right. I was pleasantly surprised to find seafood options that included crab legs and even lobster, which was pretty amazing. I managed to grab a few pieces myself and they were great. Desserts were what you would expect from a solid buffet with plenty of options to finish the meal. The service was fine overall. They did not come by to check on us often, but they kept up with clearing plates and refilling drinks promptly. The ambiance was lively and energetic, as you would expect from a popular buffet. It can get noisy and crowded at times, but it still felt comfortable enough to enjoy the meal. Despite the busy setting, I was able to have a nice catch up conversation with my aunt and cousin without feeling overwhelmed. All in all, Ocean Buffet delivers excellent value for the price. The variety, freshness, and quality of food are outstanding for a weekend buffet. I would definitely come back again, especially for the sushi and seafood selection. Remember, this is a buffet and it has different standards. You can't rate this against other specialty restaurants! 5/5 for sure on buffet standards! read more

The quality of food is great, the service is organized, polite and priced reasonably. Facilities were clean as well. The only issue I had is that my family and I went on a holiday (Mother's Day) and the price had increased by $10. IF a business is going to raise their prices during Holidays it should be POSTED on the website as such, ie. *Price May Vary During Holidays Not a surprise at the door..... with a Hand written sign. read more

Lots of great options here at the new Ocean Buffet but my favorite by far was the choose your own hibachi grill option (pick your base- noodles, rice, etc, protein, veggies and sauce) and the chilled shrimp bar! The sushi bar had a lot of great options as well! The staff was very friendly and came by to refill drinks often. Plenty of seating all around the restaurant so you didn't feel on top of each other. The desserts were nothing to write home about but by the time you get to dessert, you're most likely too full! read more

Ambiance is very nice and so is service. I would love to give them more stars, but cannot. I went recently with friends when Ocean Buffet opened for lunch and some, no many of the dishes were on the cold side. But,in all fairness, I would go back. The food that I tasted was very good. The seaweed salad is the best I have ever tasted and their sushi also was delicious. I will have to try again and hope that all the hot food is not cold. Of course, next time I will choose food and have the grill chef cook it up and know that it will be hot. But I do recommend Ocean Buffet. There is such a large array of Chinese and Japanese food that you will certainly enjoy eating at Ocean Buffet. read more

Better than many others. Nice decor in main dining area including large windows & fancy looking chandeliers, not as much though in the very large, side dining area . Varied dishes, especially the many kinds of sushi & sashimi; also American style items (Caesar salad, chick pea & mozzarella salads, fried chicken. pizza), several different soups, noodle dishes, seafood dishes, not a lot of chicken-based dishes, lots of bottles of different whiskeys, scotch, gin, vodka, etc in see-through "bottle walls", staff is reserved & efficient, changed out steam trays of food often. Prices are moderate. They accept coupons & there is plenty of parking. read more

It's been 9 months since my last visit, so I was hoping that things would have improved. The place is still beautiful, has great music in the background, a lot of staff and a large array of food. But that's where it ends. 90% of the food is room temperature, and the food either has no taste or is just salty. The Ice cream machine worked this time but it is more like ice milk, not good. The "machine is broken" sign is on the side, which makes me believe that it doesn't work often. read more

Was there last night, 1st time. Very Disappointing. Hoping for great seafood. What was out, most was warm at best, not hot. Fried Calamari was like rubber. Shrimps were not great and much of the fish looked like it had been out for a long time. The chinese dishes were replenished and looked like the best choice. Maybe better on the weekend but I won't know, would not go back again. read more

There is CC a great abundance of food, just about style if Sushi. You can imagine. Not a sushi person so can't speak to the taste. All the buffet was hot and fresh, Salad bar had lots to choose from. Favorite thing was the Korean chicken. Never had before so had to try. Service is very nice. Refill drinks rapidly. The seafood selection was good, oysters,clams,crabs& lobster Price was steep for a buffet but it was a weekend. Will come back on week day and check it out read more

Considering the fact that I'm not a big fan of buffets, I was pleasantly surprised, the place is beautiful, clean, large and well lit. The staff was excellent, friendly and attentive.

I will definitely try their diner menu read more

This place is finally open and I was there this weekend. The variety of food is very good and the place is very clean. It was busy in a good way so the food was fresh. The sushi selection was also good. But there is nothing great, just good. My only negative comment is about the service... lack of friendliness at the hosting desk. Not being welcomed and the host chatting in Chinese and not addressing customers was off putting. read more

Please note this is my rating for it being a buffet! Rating in comparison to Long Island's #1 steakhouse doesn't make sense so I rated it in its own category* After months of anticipation, I was driving by and thought I saw cars in the lot. Flags were flying and the open sign was glowing! I called my boyfriend right away OCEAN BUFFET OPENED!!! I ran to the house and we headed over. With no wait but a busy restaurant we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. This place is beautiful! Very clean, they paid close attention to us. When our glass was just half full of soda, they asked if we wanted another drink. When our plates were finished, they came and cleared the table right away. We tried different types of rolls, raw bar items, some of their specialty dishes, and YUM! The sashimi was on ice and generously portioned. The rolls varied from classic to chefs specials and everything we tried we loved. Crab rangoons are usually a hit or miss, but these were good! The string beans were crunchy and fresh, hot bar area was replenished throughout our time there and everything was a great temperature. I was so excited for the honey chicken because I used to get it from one spot which closed and haven't been able to find the same one since and this place brought it back for me. YUM! Garlic oysters as well as raw oysters were great. The fish was light and fluffy. They offer many salads, soups and desserts. I didn't get to take photos of everything as I was so excited to start tasting! As a part of the grand opening, the prices are lower for the time being. $27.99 for a Saturday night buffet dinner, $2.49 per soda, water was not charged (not sure if they charge for water normally, bc we ordered sodas first). Staff seemed excited for the opening and were very attentive. So happy for you guys and appreciative of an awesome meal. For families, this place is definitely kid friendly! Much to choose from and try, but includes the classics, chicken nuggets, pizza, and their fries are good and crispy! The only things I wasn't happy about: 1) I wanted to try the ice cream but the machine was down. We will be back to try! 2) The Sweet & Sour sauce was not warm or liquified enough to pour, kind of had to shake it off the spoon. But still, was delicious! Everything was truly great. Nice to have a high-quality buffet in the area. Sorry I didn't get photos of everything I was too excited to taste! We will definitely be back (SOON) & bringing friends and family. Congratulations and please keep up the incredible work! read more

It was our first time at this buffet and I wasn't disappointed! My girlfriend loves sushi and she was happy with the options!

Will definitely come back here in the future! read more
