    I like how clean this place is and how they have a big variety of different choices from hibachi, dim sum, soups, hot bar, sushi, and desserts! It is pricy at $31 a person and the rib was dry and some of the chicken maybe from sitting out too long but other than that I enjoyed everything else I tried! Great buffet to at least try once when in downtown orlando area!

    The people who hate on Ocean Buffet are just trying to gatekeep! This place is AMAZING. It's clean and filled with lots of great Chinese, American, and seafood options. We went for Mother's Day and they had a lobster special. My mom was over the moon when she got TWO whole lobsters! It was about $45/person and it was so worth it. I also tried other dishes like the prime rib and snow crab legs. Both dishes were so juicy and delicious! It was quite busy since it was Mother's Day so we actually waited for about an hour and went to Dirty Dillard's in the meantime. I will for sure be coming back on another weekend. Of course there probably won't be lobster again, but the other dishes are great too, especially the dessert options! Our waitress kept our table clean and our check was handed to us in a timely manner which was much appreciated. The inside is well designed and perfect for date night or family outings!

    I had been seeing this place all over Tik Tok, so curiosity got the best of me and I decided to give it a try! We came for dinner on a Tuesday and it was not busy at all. I was immediately impressed with how new and modern this place looks. The draw-in to this place is the expansive buffet selection. Not only do you have your typical options, but you also have hibachi, soup, desserts and an impressive amount of seafood!! I tried a little bit of everything and enjoyed most of it. I did get some white rice that tasted hard and one other item from the hot bar that was a little cold, but other than that everything else was pretty great. The buffet area also felt very clean and sanitary, which is a must for me. The price depends on what time you go. I believe it's $17.99 for lunch on weekdays and $31.99 for dinner, which starts as early as 3:30. I feel like the seafood is what makes the price tag go up, which I didn't eat much of, so next time I'm going to try and stick to lunch time (not sure if the same items are included.) Depending on how much you like to eat and what you're interested in getting, this could very well be worth it for you!!

    Right now I recently saw videos about this place and decided to give it a try. It's quickly become one of my favorite places to eat lunch. The lunch special is really affordable, especially in today's market and the variety of sushi and dim sum alone make it worth it. Service is friendly. Depending on the area you sit in, they can be quicker to take the plates than others. Inside is clean and quite big with a big variety of foods to try. I even tried their chicken feet and they were surprisingly delicious!

    I went for my friends birthday yesterday and the place looks like a beautiful Asian cherry blossom or aquarium on the interior and exterior. The price was $32.00 per person which wasn't that bad for dinner . It's a Chinese and Japanese style buffet I love the fresh sushi and salad there. The lobster and crab ran out fast so I didn't have that. I love the salad and hibachi bars too and the dessert was delicious. The chicken was good, but the General Tso's chicken was too sweet for me. The sweet and sour soup was a little too spicy for me, but the waitresses were friendly and accommodating.

    I came in during my lunch time and was pretty impressed. The restaurant, inside and outside, is very cute, clean and spacious. There's many tables and lots of servers. I was greeted and taken to my table and my server was waiting and took my drink order. I went to get some food, and they have so many options. There's the hibachi area where you choose your ingredients and they cook them for you. My time was limited so I did not try it but everything looked good. My first plate was full of seafood and it did not disappoint. I also got this cooked vegetables, sorry forgot the name of them, that were delicious. My second plate, I had more seafood, chicken skewers and sushi. The chicken skewers were good, the sushi was ok. Service was great. Overall I had a great first experience at Ocean Buffet.

    Always fresh and great tasting variety of food at Ocean Buffet. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The dining area is kept clean and seating is comfortable. Great place to also dine with large parties

    2.75 stars. I cannot recommend this restaurant for dinner. We were here Monday night for dinner but our high expectations turn down hill. The restaurant is well decorated. High ceiling with good welcome courtyard. We did not see gingerbread lobster but that did not turn us down. The blue crab is big but the meat is powdery. What find the best is bull frog leg. The baby clam just below average. Sushi is very weak on selection. I have been many buffet sushi but here not up to the standard. The stone crab meat is shred easily. Dim sum also weak. Soup is just ok. Now come to very basic. The stir fry noodles not meet the requirements bouncy and tasty. Even the string bean with garlic stir fry is not good either. My wife likes the snow crab. I don't know they have the off day today. But I doubt it. The hibachi choice also weak. May be I have too many good buffet.

    This is the fourth time I get food to go at Ocean buffet and can only say it is such a great deal! For 14.99 a pound you can fill up your box with sushi, sashimi, seafood and steak. If you do a mix between these 4 and other hot food such as fried chicken it comes down to 12.99 a pound. I was during my first visit and still am happy to see sushi and sashimi with this quality at a buffet. Will keep coming back.

    This is a good buffet. Lots of options, especially if you enjoy seafood. Crab legs, chicken, sushi, and hibachi options. The service was good, our waitress was very pushy for us to leave when we were done, which I didn't appreciate. But the food is fresh and good. We came on Friday night at 630. There was no wait. We will definitely be back again.

    Ok so I finally had a chance to try out the newest addition to the Chinese buffet scene right here in Orlando... and let me just say... I was pleasantly surprised. So after months of seeing this new spot all over social media with all types of mixed reviews... I decided to give it a try for dinner this week. This restaurant is located in the same plaza as the Fashion Square Mall with access to plenty of parking. Upon entering, I was taken back by how huge their waiting patio is... and the inside seating/buffet area was super spacious and very clean! I was fortunate enough to get seated immediately. There was a big variety of fresh seafood, sushi, Chinese, and dim sum options. They even had a build your own hibachi station with chefs available to cook your items right in front of you. I would have to say the standout items for me were definitely the seafood...it was all super fresh and was replenished fairly quickly. Now for the important question... was the buffet worth the price?... so for dinner I paid 34.99 before taxes and tip (lunch prices are a bit cheaper)... I would say that it is worth it...ONLY IF... you indulge in the higher priced item on the buffet line like the seafood, sushi, and steak... If you are primarily there for just Chinese food then I would recommend coming during lunch prices. Shout out to all the servers who were all hustling to tend to their tables, with grabbing refills and clearing plates. You all are rockstars!

    Some Sushi selection. Oh, black and red caviar too!
    Andrew D.

    New restaurant ! First impressions is the amount of food available. A very nice verities of fresh Sushi and Seafood. Service is quick sitting to your table and off you go to pick your favorite food. Ambience is active inside with plenty of tables available. No menu it's all buffet. The only exception I encountered was it's a bit pricey. $31.99 weekends and $17.99 weekdays. Overall, great seafood!

Ended up being a good decision. A definite standout was our server CD. We really enjoyed chatting with him. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and genuinely cared for. We went with the $29.99 option for everyone in our group. The Bulgogi Pork was our favorite meat. Such a tasty marinade! You will definitely leave stuffed. Large space inside. The Banchan bar could use some better labels, but that didn't stop me from loading up my plate. Enjoyed the Japchae and appreciated the nearby scissors which came in handy. The main challenge for this place is it's nearby competitors, Izziban and Korea House. Wish K-BBQ had a more unique name, but regardless they can hold their own.

My friends and I were in town for a group trip to some of the Disney parks. One couple comes often and recommended this place. I'm not necessarily an all-you-can-eat fan, but my partner wanted to come so.... here we are. At $70, you'd better get some lobster! But they have a lot to offer! I'm more of a snow crab fan so I had plenty crab legs. The fried shrimp was my favorite. If you were searching for it by sight, you wouldn't have found it. It wasn't in the shape of a shrimp, but it was very tasty. I love fried shrimp. You can pass on the calamari though. That too is a favorite, but it was lacking the crunch and was cold. Oh, one of my friends was going to town on the crawfish!! Lol. So, I guess it was good! There were so many options, I can't remember them all. But they did have a lot to offer. I was saving room for dessert. Their pecan pie was delicious. They come in bites, which is smart, so you can sample many. The cheesecakes was good, but the key lime was divine. It was a good experience. Our group was 15 and we tried not to bother them too much. They were attentive and even broke up our checks. Check it out!

So when we are in Orlando and…read moreoverwhelmed with Disney pricing, we figure for the same price we can get a great AUCE lobster buffet in a "real world" restaurant! We've been here before and while it's not entirely inexpensive, it is priced well for what it is. Though it IS a buffet, the lobster itself is served to you one at a time. Good call! The rest of the food offerings are of really good variety and you should find plenty to enjoy here, including cute tasty desserts. Standouts are seafood casserole, cornbread, seafood/shellfish of all types and many salads, sushi rolls, a variety of fish preparations, etc. The drink specials are fun, but will still pad the bill, so we abstained. The staff were all personable and hardworking, with the bar-staff pulling double duty on the floor and still cheerful about it. One HUGE table left a paltry cheap tip for the poor guy, so we gave extra. Don't b a D*CK, people! Restrooms are fine and the wait was minimal. Parking is great on site, at no charge. Yay! Check it out when visiting exciting Orlando for a fun satisfying meal after a crazy day in the parks! Thanks for following me, stay cool in hawt summer yelping in 2026! ~Tami in Miami
