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.

Sushi bar

The main highlight is the sushi bar which punches far above his weight for buffet sushi

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!

Crab legs, crab and shrimp

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.

Global Buffet is a huge restaurants inside a large brick building and is hard to miss. There is plenty of parking as it sits in a large shopping area. We came on a random weekday and I was surprised how busy this place was. We were a slightly large group so it did take a minute for them to put some tables together. Customer service was great from start to finish. Our table stayed clean and our drinks stayed full. My uncle footed the bill, but I glanced at the prices and they are very reasonable here. The buffet setup is massive. I've honestly only seen bigger in Vegas. They had about 3 rows of foods. On top of that, off to the side, they have salad and dessert bars, a hibachi station, and a large sushi station. As the name of the restaurant suggests, the offerings are truly global. They have a variety of different cuisines but the main focus is Chinese food. I had a flight to catch after this meal so I took it a little easy on my intake. I started off with sushi. For a buffet, the sushi was actually pretty decent. Set your expectations correctly and you will enjoy it. Everything else I tried throughout the buffet was good. No complaints from anyone in our party. Overall, for a Chinese buffet, this spot was not bad at all. I wouldn't seek it out or feel compelled to come back, but would not complain if the family brought us back here again.

We hung out after their birthdays and I am very fortunate to be associated with such wonderful souls. Bonding outside of Yelp = The World! Going to Cinnabar turned out to be a very satisfying experience as this was my first time here. There are two prices for the all-you-can-eat. $34.99 for all-you-can-eat sushi and Cajun seafood, $29.99 all-you-can-eat Sushi. I had all-you-can-eat shrimp and oysters along with Sushi-$34.99. You get more than you bargain for so I suggest you come hungry or just take one of the buffet specials. I was only able to finish one bag of the Cajun seafood boil. And I also got 3 pieces of Shrimp Tempura, shared 6 piece fried oyster, Calamari , and 6 piece shrimp sushi. I don't remember the name. I really enjoyed the time and food, the morning was special and the time was well spent. I most definitely will return but I will get one or the other buffet special because that is very doable. I would like to focus on the service. Our waitress was very attentive, kind and alert. She was very willing to explain the ordering process and that was a plus for someone that is new to this restaurant. The decor was beautiful and it had some sophistication for an added bonus. I love the red and black presentation, it created a bold, dramatic and high-contrast environment, often found in izakayas, steakhouses, and lounges. All I know is that it was sexy, romantic, exciting and we made it work. Inspire more, Yelp more!

There's a nice variety of food, including sushi, chicken, fried rice, lo mein, and seafood boil bags. Just keep in mind that the boil bag costs about $10 extra and isn't included in the regular price. For three of us, with only one person getting the boil bag, our bill was about $150. The staff were very attentive and quick to come by. My main issue was the seasoning. Some of the food tasted a little bland, and I would've loved more flavor, especially with the seafood. I gave it three stars, but I'd say my overall experience was closer to 3 1/2 to 4. If you enjoy all-you-can-eat seafood, it's worth checking out. For me, the bar,variety, decor, and service make it a step up from a typical buffet like Golden Corral.

Most dishes were good, not as good as the last owners but hey they are getting there. There was a limit on sashimi (30) and a limit on desserts (1) but with all the other options, I don't need more. The atmosphere is still unfriendly but they are trying. The service has gotten better but don't expect a smile when they deliver your food. As for me, I was just happy to have solid food that came out hot and was tasty. I will definitely give Sakura another shot and hopefully they get better and better.

Made a reservation and off we went. When we arrived, I noticed seating to the right of the bar that would give us pretty much a front row seat for the music. Lisa was hesitant because it was not truly in the dining room, but acquiesced. So glad we did because we ended up staying for 3 hours, enjoying both sets. We also got to hang with family members and friends of the band, which made for an extremely intimate and enjoyable evening. We both started with sazeracs, which had too much ice to make it the classic that it is. We shared the barbecue plate, some of the meats a hit, some a miss. Pulled pork and brisket a little too fatty even for me , and of the 4 ribs, 2 were meaty and 2 kind of forlorn! Next time will choose more carefully, as previously enjoyed a grits dish and Lisa a salad with grilled shrimp. After dinner, a generous pour of Wild Turkey 101, sipped while swept up in the sounds! Overall a fun evening, music and hospitality being the 5th star, food and drink a 3, so overall a 4 star evening. Definitely will return for this band!

The seafood boils were good, but the portions felt a little stingy for the price, and the appetizers were much more fried and heavy than I expected. The bigger issue, though, was the service around my wife's birthday. I quietly told the hostess, who I believe was also the manager, that it was my wife's birthday because I wanted to surprise her. She told me to let a specific server know and pointed her out to me. I went over and told that server exactly as instructed. This restaurant makes a big deal out of birthdays with music, a light-up birthday banner, and dessert. We watched them do the birthday celebration for multiple other tables throughout the evening, so I kept waiting for my wife's turn. It never happened. The server I had spoken to never came back to our table, and we had several different employees helping us throughout the meal. Because I was trying to keep the birthday celebration a surprise, I couldn't keep getting up from the table over and over to ask about it without making it obvious. We finished our ice cream, paid the bill, and I even waited afterward hoping someone would come over before we left. Before leaving, I mentioned what happened to the same woman I had originally spoken to. She apologized, but then told me that I should have told the server. The frustrating part is that I DID tell the server. I had followed her exact instructions and spoken directly to the person she pointed out. I understand that mistakes happen, but watching several other guests receive the restaurant's full birthday celebration after I had specifically asked for the same acknowledgment for my wife was incredibly disappointing. I wasn't expecting anything extra or complimentary. I simply expected the request I made to the staff to actually be communicated and followed through on. There were parts of the meal we enjoyed, especially the boils, but the service failure around something that mattered to us really overshadowed the experience.

Now let's talk about the mozzarella sticks... Our son decided to give them another shot. The last time we were here, we thought they were just kind of average. Today was a completely different story. Perfectly fried, great flavor, and an AWESOME cheese pull. Huge improvement! My wife and I shared the onion rings, which had a nice thin batter, were perfectly fried, and were absolutely delicious. For entrées, we went with a burger, skirt steak, and snow crab legs. The burger was very good, the skirt steak was again very good, and the snow crab legs tasted fresh and were delicious. Even though it wasn't crowded when we arrived, the inside still had that lively, welcoming atmosphere that we've enjoyed on our visits here. Overall, another wonderful experience at Popei's Bethpage.
