$50 for two people! The best buffet I have been to, very clean and kind service. The food is absolutely amazing you can tell they use fresh ingredients. Orange chicken, coconut shrimp and sushi were my favorites. I would definitely recommend if you want any kind of Asian style cuisine or have a group especially. read more

The ambiance was beautiful, and the presentation of the food was very appealing. There was a nice variety, and everything looked fresh and well-prepared. However, the biggest issue was the lack of flavor. The food looked great but didn't deliver when it came to seasoning. My family and I ended up leaving within about 15 minutes after trying a few items because it just wasn't satisfying. Overall, it's a visually appealing buffet, but the taste did not match the presentation. read more

I've been here a few times, and it's generally good. The food is fresh but not outstanding. I love the unique LED lights and decor--it's really eye-catching. The bussers are great at keeping things tidy. The variety can feel a bit limited after a couple of rounds, but that's typical for buffets. Overall, I've had nice experiences and would return. read more

I REALLY wanted to just love this place, because it's right down the road, and a friend recommended it, but I didn't. Noon lunch on a Friday. Fair crowd inside, but the space to hold a LOT of people. Plenty of waitstaff; in fact, some looked bored. You purchase your meal when you walk in with an added 10% service fee for the staff. (It's a buffet, so I'm guessing this is a buffer for non-tippers.) There is the opportunity to have your ramen made by someone, but we passed on this option. Tons of options: sushi, salads, American fried foods, Chinese food, vegetables, salad, fruit. There were offerings I had never seen before, like fried vermicelli and custard buns, so I tried them. Vermicelli was good, but buns not my cup of tea. Found plenty to eat, just didn't find anything that was outstanding. Baked mussels were tasty, mushrooms were good, crab rangoons were crispy. Sushi was all with seawood and I tried a few, just didn't care for the taste (prefer soy paper). Husband enjoyed the egg drop soup and was tickled they had Jell-O for dessert. (No judgment!) Anyway, we left an additional tip because drinks were refilled and empty plates were promptly removed. read more

Loved the entire experience. Went as part of a large party to celebrate my niece's birthday. We were seated very promptly. There were so many different foods to try. Amazing selection of sushi, seafood, and lots of different dishes to try & the staff was constantly replenishing things as needed! Will definitely be going back soon! read more

Hands-down the best buffet that I've ever been to with premium seafood items, delicious rice and pasta dishes, and all the sauces you could ask for! The price is also not bad at all for the amount of seafood that you're allowed to have. And even the non-seafood items--like the chicken tenders and beef teriyaki--are delicious. The staff is also super courteous and attentive and the aesthetic of the restaurant make you feel like you're in Vegas or somewhere bougie..... 9/10 I can't wait to go back and try more of the sushi items! read more

My wife and I specifically went there for the snow carbs, which they didn't disappoint. Before going I looked up to see if there was a senior citizen discount. On there website it showed 55 or older gets a 10% discount. When I mentioned it to the cashier I was told it's 65 and older, I mentioned it was 55 on your website, he stated that it's 65 and always has been 65. So I'm asking 55 or 65 so no one else will be mislead. I held back the other stars because of the misleading. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I would absolutely recommend this buffet if you're just going for all-you-can-eat sushi and sashimi! I know I'm giving this review only 3-stars, but if you're solely interested in sushi and sashimi, for $26, you can eat all the sushi and sashimi you want; that's a good deal! The sushi and sashimi were good. The quality was at the level of any other restaurant that serves Japanese. I can attest that I ate a TON and had zero stomach issues afterwards hahaha Their pricing is as follows: *$14 for lunch during the weekdays (no seafood included) *$26 for dinner every day (seafood served) *$26 all day on weekends (seafood served) The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. However, I went on lunar new year. Maybe it wasn't crowded because everyone was with their families at home? It's a clean, beautiful and spacious restaurant, so it could have seemed emptier than it really was too. I was excited to try the boiled seafood, but I was disappointed. Everything was bland and overcooked. The crab legs were dried out inside. The boiled shrimp looked flavorful, but it wasn't seasoned well at all. The shrimp disintegrated as you peeled them because they were overcooked. Maybe it sat out too long on the buffet warmers since there were less customers? I hope if I try this place again, it's a different experience. They had the usual buffet items for American and Chinese (ex. pizza, steak, lomein, orange chicken, stir-fried veggies, etc.) as well. They were okay. They weren't good enough to make me want to back for seconds. I really wanted to love this place. We don't have a lot of all-you-can-eat buffets in our area. I hope I just happened to go on an "off" day read more

This buffet was worth the drive. I think we had tunnel vision when we got there so I can only speak for the sushi. We really enjoyed the rolls we had along with the sashimi. The fish was very fresh and I'm sure we ate our money's worth a few times over. We plan to come back and I'll add my thoughts on the other foods then. read more

I love a good buffet, and Ombu was definitely a winner! The ambiance was lovely, and the decor made it feel like an upscale Vegas restaurant. The food was plentiful, and everything was good that I tried! I liked the mussels the best. I loved that they had crab legs, and don't forget to grab some of that Cajun butter to dip it in. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and they made sure that we had everything we needed to pig out. The price was $25 per person, and I feel like that's fair. I would visit again for sure! read more

$25.99 all you can eat for dinner. You pay first and then head to your table. They have all sorts of food from noodles to chicken to sushi as well as desserts. I genuinely enjoyed everything I had. Only thing I didn't like was the garlic bread because it was hard as a rock. I wish they had a bigger selection of food but good overall. It's very chill and quiet in there. I liked the decorations. Staff were very friendly. I would come back if I'm in the area. read more

There was absolutely NO good dessert options. read more

This place is a solid deal at lunch. It's $17 with tip and there are some good options. The salt & pepper crab and the shrimp were by far and away the best highlights for me. You can tell the cooked seafood was super fresh and they probably go through a lot of that. The sushi is ok. It's not great and it's not terrible. You can tell they definitely reuse some stuff. That wasabi been out there since last week. If they cleaned up the quality a bit it would be a home run. The restaurant is big and clean with tvs and the service was friendly. I'd give it a 3.6 read more

I went in the beginning of the year everything was great. From food to environment. I've gone twice recently but both times disappointed, food now is okay but worst of all FLIES. They make more than enough to buy the necessary stuff to not have FLIES. It's embarrassing to swat flies while eating. You would think paying a high price you'll great experience in return. read more

Came here with some friends to check this newly opened buffet. The place looks very nice and clean when I walk in. I asked for a table for 6 and was informed that they charge a 15% tip to our group which was fine with us. I forgot to mention the 10% off promotion they were having and he automatically gave it to my group. The food seems to come out as fast as an empty tray goes low so that's good. I came in with a plan, not to eat anything except the snow crabs , shrimp and crawfish. If I still have room in my stomach I'll eat some sashimi and ice cream. So based on what I ate, I prefer the cold snow crab to the boil one because the cold ones were more meaty. They also have regular full crabs that they boil or stir fry half crabs to choose from. I like the stir fried ones better because it has more flavor. The shrimp boil was a little disappointing. To each their own but I felt it was slightly over cooked but my friends loved it. I'm surprised since I usually don't care too much for buffet crawfish. Their crawfish was plump and delicious with the sauce they boil with. Now let's talk about their dipping sauce. They have either just regular butter, Cajun or garlic butter for your seafood. I tried both the Cajun and garlic separately and I loved both flavors so I mixed them together and it was Fire! I don't know what the ingredients are to make the Cajun sauce but it was so good with all my seafood. I got a few pieces of salmon and tuna sashimi and a piece of eel roll. The salmon was delicious and melts in my mouth but the tuna has an off taste. The eel roll rice was way too much and slightly hard like it had been laying out too long. For dessert, I grab two different kinds and split with a friend. We both agree that the panda shaped ice cream was cute but we both like the blue box ice cream much better. It's square shaped vanilla ice cream. Service was great. The staff were very efficient in grabbing our use dishes. I'll definitely come back but not anytime soon since I'm on a King cake diet... read more

My husband and I were so excited to see a new restaurant open up in our area. We decided to stop by on a Sunday for lunch. The place is new so it is very clean. The food ranges from sushi, to orange chicken, dumplings, and crab legs. There is a lot of variety so bring your appetite. The food quality is on par with what you'd expect a buffet to have. The chow mein was mushy, the fried rice had cubed ham, the sushi had a lot of rice, the dessert table was disappointing. But make the best out of it and enjoy the crab legs and shrimp. They had lots of dipping sauces and butter to go along with all the dishes. Also, they charge dinner prices no matter what time you go on the weekend. read more

Just okay. The food lacked salt and got cold on the short trip from the buffet to my table. The restaurant is pretty and they get 5 stars for cleanliness, but the food was mediocre. I was there for the lunch buffet. read more

The food here was pretty good and the array of options was vast. I went expecting to eat sushi but ended up eating the Chinese food. The prices were really good...$15.99/person plus a price for a drink and they kept refilling my drink. There were people walking around to bring you additional things. The food was pretty good...better than i expected. I will go back and take my husband so he can try it out. read more

My wife and I have been coming too OMBU since its 1st opened and we love the snow crab. When they 1sy opened,there was no service charge and now theres a service charge besides the buffet and taxes, now we dont tip because this is forced on you when you 1st enter to pay. The restaurant is clean and tidy, the bus staff are always ready to help and the food is delicious. read more

Everything we had was flavorful. I'm not sure about the reviews from a few months claiming the food to be bland. I'm a chef, so I'm a hard food critic. I had the fried rice, ramen, seafood, and the Chinese style chicken and beef. I enjoyed everything. Our table was clean and the music was a nice mix. I would go back. read more

Drove out here from New Orleans given all of the good reviews and advertising they've been doing. We tried a little bit of everything: crab legs, sushi, chinese food, etc. and to be totally honest, we stopped eating halfway through the first plate. Everything was old, overcooked, or just poorly cooked. I am a huge fan of low key cheap chinese buffets, so my expectations aren't that high but this was just not it. And let's not mention that it was over $70 for two people when you include drinks and tip. read more

Not my favorite at all. The first time I ate here I got extremely sick to my stomach for days. Gave it another try and it was better but nothing spectacular about this place at all read more

Whaaaaat is going on here?! Diving around Merrero coming back from a hike and see a giant glowing sign - OMBU. Inside is an LED extravaganza of arches and sea anemone ceiling lighting over a strange and weirdly comprehensive buffet. Pizza? You got it! Chinese? You got it! Sushi, YOU GOT IT! KING CRAB LEGS YOU GOT IT IF YOU FIGHT FOR IT! Food quality just okay. The price you pay for a full buffet. read more

About a 3.5/5 but I'll round it to 4. The other review about the seafood being overcooked and maybe it's out on the warmers a little too long is true, but for the price I would say it's fair. I've been to more expensive buffets than $24.99 for dinner and it has been a poor experience. For the variety of food it's great, having snow crabs, king crab, mussels, clams, sushi, fried food, and a variety of desserts. It's clean and waiters come to clear out your plates quickly. I also rate this place 4/5 because I believe it has a lot of potential to become better. I mean I would go back! Especially for their $14.99 lunch! read more

Please dont waste your money. This restaurant is very expensive, you are literally paying for the decor. I paid $160 for 4 adults and 2 kids. The food was bland, old, and cold. The only good thing I ate there was the ice cream they didnt cook. You have been warned! read more

For lunch, $13.99 is a very good price point for the food taste/ quality. Nonetheless, it appears that the kitchen staff winds down food preparation (restocking) around 2p, so if you're looking for the steak (which was cooked a tender medium and not chewy) none were to be found after that time. What sets this buffet apart from other Asian buffets is that they have gumbo as one of the soup choices. Crab does come with lunch, so be prepared to go to work; they've got the utensils you need to eat it. This place opened in January 2024 and best wishes for a successful business. read more
