Celebrated a birthday at Ocean Buffet. What a great experience! So much variety, there is something for everyone. I was not thrilled with the soups I tried and I ate too much of everything else to try the hibachi so I'll definitely be back. Service was spot on and all buffet tables were always super clean with food replenished often. there's stuff on the buffet I've not eaten before or seen cooked, hog hocks, chicken feet and frogs legs. When you walk in it looks like you're entering an aquarium on the outside. I definitely recommend this place. read more

When Ocean Buffet first opened, I purposely didn't go for the first month to let them flush out their initial opening hiccups.As I entered the buffet a month or so after opening, I thought maybe this buffet wouldn't be bad after looking at the large sushi selection. Unfortunately, the sushi rice was overcooked and mushy even though the overall flavors tasted okay. For the soup, dim sum and other hot entrees, I couldn't help but think that a majority of them were store bought without any alternation to flavors. The hot & sour soup, egg drop soup and what I think was clam chowder (without any clams), were all bland tasting. I did enjoy the large dining space & I did not have any complaints on service. However it is definitely not worth the price to come here for store bought tasting bland food. read more

Ocean Buffet - Sushi and soups - Buffets Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I'm gonna go with slightly above 3 stars as the price is decent for the selection and variety. There's tons of hot food, a good selection of sushi and sashimi (which I really enjoy for buffet sushi), dim sum section, fresh fruit, and other kinds of seafood. Really nothing is missed here, but given the range everything is quite mediocre. Nothing astounding but still good as like I said, there's so much to choose from it'd be impossible to do it all perfectly. My standouts are the salmon sashimi and dim sum. I noticed the items rotate: the first visit I tried the shiu mai which was yummy, and second time there were red bean buns, as well as salted egg buns which were my favorite!! Overall, I'd definitely give this place a try just to check it out, but expect to be overwhelmed by choices. It's also very clean and efficient! read more

If you're looking for a solid choice of buffet, this newer one by the Fashion Square Mall is a good choice. It has hot Chinese style buffet foods, a soup and salad bar, dim sum, and sushi. So there's something for everyone. Pro tip: it's a better value to go for lunch pricing. read more

Ocean Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant in Orlando offers quite the variety of seafood, sushi, hibachi, international dishes, salads, fruit and desserts. Dinner price is $31.99 for adults and $13.99 for 3-3 1/2 ft children, and $15.99 for 4-5 ft children. The child price is outrageous for a 3 year old that hardly eats. The atmosphere is very nice a plenty of choices. The crab legs were the smallest I've seen and not worth trying to open and clams on a half shell. I've been to another buffet restaurant, the same price, that had nice size crab legs and oysters on a half shell which I prefer. I enjoyed all the other dishes. The server left the check and you pay at the register when you leave. read more

*As a note, I have only gone during the lunch special. I was excited when this buffet finally opened, and I was not disappointed. It's quite sizeable and while there is a lot of seating it never felt crowded when browsing options. Lunch options are of course different than evening, and overall pretty standard fare but definitely felt to be higher quality. They did have some elements that stand out compared to other buffets - a dim sum station (with authentic options, not just catering to the general crowd pleasing options) and sushi freshly prepared ranging from classic options to some with fun flare like a mango roll. Everything tasted fantastic and the 90 min restriction was reasonable. Definitely be prepared for a bit of a wait as it's very popular (likely due to being so new and the lunch special being a good price for what you get). The wait area outside has some photographic elements, and also a gazebo style seating for something different. As a heads up: When you arrive, they don't sign you in traditionally and instead rely on a single (poorly designed) QR code. They really should make the code more easily accessible (current placement has it so people are blocking flow of entry and exit traffic trying to scan) but also use a more simplified code. It has sooo many elements (and when I went included items that shouldn't be present noting it was clearly a screenshot. There was a "menu" hamburger over part of the code). A lot of people had difficulty which then meant having to pull the hosts to have them manually add you. It all worked out, but redesigning this process would make first impressions more smooth. read more

Wow! Such a great buffet! Such a vast variety of foods. I noticed that there was japanese and Chinese foods. Like any usually buffet really. The lunch special is very affordable per person. There are different foods that I usually don't see in any other buffet. Like there are about 6 to 8 bamboo steamers with dumplings and meats that smell amazing! You can smell the sweetness of the spices used to marinade the meats when you open up each bamboo steamer. The five spice is especially very alluring to me! The smell ales you feel warm and cozy inside. They. Also have about 4 or 5 different soups that they serve there. Quite the variety but a bit bland, my personal opinion. The staff super attentive to your needs. All are very kind and quick to bring out drinks for refills. Can't wait to return! read more

The outside is huge! And kinda good waiting area for when it gets busy. We went during their soft opening and i think my overall experience is good. They got a lot of options like sushi, seafood, soup station, hibachi grill, desserts and fruits, warm meats, dim sum, and traditional Chinese items. My son particularly likes the general Tsao chicken and ate it the whole night. I was very happy with fried oyster, boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce, hibachi was good flavor and sushi was good. I dislike that they have to measure each kid by height. My older son barely eats and he's 6 so charging him is ok bc he is 6 But I have a 3 year old that is literally sitting in a high chair and they wanted to measure him!!!! I made a shocking face so the girl let it slide but seriously I don't see this height thing working out for long term. Little kids at 3 barely eats anything. They should reconsider this height thing and just go with age. But everything else is ok! read more

My wife came across this buffet and suggested we should stop here for lunch. First thing I noticed was that this restaurant was pleasing visually because the design was so modern, the table layout was reassuring that there is always space to sit and enjoy no matter the size of your party. Between the general tso chicken, fried rice, and the sushi with red pepper flakes, everything was delicious and the waitress was attentive to making sure to refill our water. We will be back again read more

I've seen this place all over social media so I was excited to try. Went on a Friday night and it was very crowded but it didn't take too long to be seated. There were alot of options on the buffet ranging from sushi, seafood to hibachi. The seafood looked very fresh. Some of the better tasting buffet crab legs that I've tried. They were constantly bringing out food to replenish the items on the buffet, never saw anything completely empty. And the restaurant was very clean and spacious. read more

KUDOS to the entire staff for providing supreme quality customer service! The food was delicious! Such a variety for everyone! The ambiance is very casual! I highly recommend all to come and visit to support this local business! read more

Lobster was not fresh, when I told the person in charge, he didn't answer me. The lobster had a very strong ammonia smell. This indicates its not safe to eat. read more

We visited Ocean Buffet on a random weekday for lunch. It's a huge restaurant with beautiful decor and a neat little outdoor area for waiting/hanging out. Lunch is $17.99 during the week which is a steal! The buffet has one of the most expansive sushi offerings i've seen at a buffet. Aside from that they have dumplings, 4 or 5 different types of soup, hibachi, your typical asian buffet food like fried rice, lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, etc and many seafood choices. The dessert area is quite impressive as well. When I walked up and started realizing how much they truly had I just kept saying "wow" because I was so impressed, especially for the price! I tried 7 or 8 different types of sushi, some of the hot offerings and dessert. I was very pleased with everything, I'm not sure I tried anything that I was disappointed in. It seems like these days sushi buffets are popping up everywhere but Ocean Buffet is definitely the most impressive and best I've been to in a while! read more

We came during lunch and the entire experience was disappointing. The food was cold, the service was careless, and the overall ambiance felt neglected.The sushi station was not sanitary, and the person preparing the sushi did not follow basic hygiene practices. At the teppanyaki area, there was clear cross‑contamination happening, which is unacceptable for any restaurant.Because of the poor food quality and unsafe food‑handling practices, I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

It was ok. Definitely a place you go to if you want to prioritize quantity over quality. The dim sum tasted frozen and the sushi was very fishy. The Chinese American food was pretty decent. One time was enough for us! read more

New buffet in a familiar area! Ocean buffet is a large buffet that offers some of everything in Asian cuisine. From fried foods, Dim Sum, sushi, hibachi, and a raw bar! I visited during the soft opening, so it was very busy! Food was running out quickly, but that meant fresh food was served shortly after! I didn't get to try the soups, but enjoyed the raw bar, hibachi, and some fried foods. I didn't care too much for the sushi though. read more

Went to this place last week with my family and it was really good! As for price I didn't pay nor see the bill but I 100% think it's worth every penny. Food was fresh and honestly tasted amazing. I often find Buffets tend to charge extra for certain amenities but this place did not! They also offer a hibachi service so you can pick what you would like them to cook, how it's cooked, and in what sauces. Our server Wendy was super nice and on top of everything. 10/10 would come back! read more

Very good buffet spot, nice selection food tasted fresh, place clean large enough that no one was hovering over each other or breathing down the food like in golden corral. Price is abit on the steep.side but its orlando got to exempt it when in a tourist dominated town read more

It was delicious. I loved the food selections at this place. Everything (for the most part) was fresh and delicious. The service was hyper expedient which was very nice.

I am not really a big fan of buffets but when I saw that Ocean Buffet had opened up I wanted to give it a shot. It's a beautiful space that is well thought out and has a clean and modern look to it with hints of the cultural elements to it. When my husband and I arrived it was very busy but we're able to be seated right away. For some reason I thought someone would give us information on the process since it was our first time there but we waited 5 mins for a server to come by and take our drink orders and then we were off to start loading up! I think for $31 AYCE you get a pretty vast selection, and it's not hard at all to get your moneys worth. I took this opportunity to try swai fish since I've never had it, and it was sooooo buttery and delicious! It does taste very "fishy" so for those who have that complaint about certain seafood items you'd probably want to steer clear of it. I also grabbed some garlic butter shrimp, lo mein, Japanese chicken, plantains (pleasant surprise!), a variety of sushi rolls, string beans, and MORE SUSHI! My husband loaded up on sushi and the chicken skewers and also tried the cheese wontons. We both enjoyed all the items with the exception of the cheese wontons which were unfortunately soggy on the bottom by the time we grabbed them. I thought the string beans were a bit cold as well but I also grabbed from the last bits of it, so can I really hold that against this place? This was an overall enjoyable experience and I'd like to try out their hibachi section on my next visit and see what options they have there! read more

My husband and I heard of this place a few weeks ago and we tried to come on New Year's Day. There were so many people waiting outside that we left immediately. I did not get to try it out. Over the weekend we were back in that area and we didn't see a big crowd so we went to try it again. We checked in using a QR code and we waited only about two minutes. The place looks very nice, lots of cool decor inside and outside. The tables and chairs are nice and the lighting is good. There are a lot of buffets in the Orlando area that are kind of dim and sketchy and usually the food is mediocre. I will say that all of the food we tried was actually really good. There wasn't anything that was gross or nasty. We did feel like there were less options than we would see at a typical buffet, but there was still plenty of stuff. We felt the price was a little bit high, but we figure it is due to the crab legs being unlimited. The workers were nice and made sure our drinks were filled and cleared our dirty plates from the table quickly. They were also working to keep everything stocked at the buffet and clean. Things get pretty messy quickly at a buffet, but I do think they were trying their best to Keep things tidy. The food really was good and this is likely the best buffet in Orlando area, but the bar is really really low because most of the buffets around here are not good. read more

We tried this buffet for the first time February, 23, 2026. The food was fresh and inviting. The sushi was delicious. The hibachi area was easy to navigate, fresh and delicious. I'm allergic to eggs and there were many options for me. My daughter did mostly the fried foods she said they were good, not great. For $17.99 Lunches I would go again and recommend. Our server was extremely helpful on how to eat chicken feet. Interesting dish. Not my cup of tea. The overall ambiance was very clean and elegant. read more

We finally went here for dinner and I was not disappointed. Beautiful sushi, yummy crab legs, lots of different soups to choose from. I didn't even get to the hot foods because I was busy with aforementioned foods but next time I'll try more. Clean, through sparsely decorated. Depending on what you eat and when you visit it can be a good value. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Food quality and selection were very good. Clean and a big selection of sushi. This buffet is a cut above the others.

Would recommend read more

Ocean Buffet was an experience. It's exceptionally busy with the excitement of the fresh and new - which, hey, means the food is constantly fresh and new as they keep up with the demand. The options were abundant, though mostly basic. The sushi selection was fresh but nothing was labeled. Each roll was basically a variation of the same ingredients so nothing stood out. Their dim sum selection was decent but lacked much texture or flavor. The soup selection was great, but again, lacked much flavor. I was a big fan of their fresh shrimp - plump and clean. I tried a little bit of everything from hot selections. Once again, everything was hot, crisp, and fresh but didn't deliver much on the taste front. I might go back in a few months after they are out of the soft stage, but I don't think the lack of flavor is caused by the soft opening. I'm still offering 4 stars because I do think people will enjoy the experience. It just wasn't for me. read more

We have been to a few buffets like this one and it was what we expected. Food was good but not great . The dining room is set up a little weird having all the seating on one side and the food on the other. Would be better to be seated around the buffet .
