No food control as they use small pans and if a customer likes a particular item he will put the whole pan into their plate. Now the next person who may have wanted that item must wait for that item to be refilled. And it takes a while for them to refill that item. read more

Food taste good just need a few more entrees service was good as well food stayed stocked

I mean as a buffet restaurant I'm not expect much, compare to others dinner for $19.99 I think their$25.99 is very reasonable and competitive plus you also get 10% off during the grand opening period. The food for me is amazing, you get bunch of choices such as sashimi and nigiri. They even serve the stir fried lobster Hong Kong style when I came in. I mean guys $25.99 all you can eat snow crab does it sounds unbelievable? Sure you can also get 2 clusters in Cajun restaurants for 30 bucks. read more

I gave this place a second try but the food still wasn't good. Some of the food lack flavors and was dry. The sashimi didn't hit the spot neither. Should be served cold not warm. read more

Ombu Buffet - The ceiling of the dining area - Buffets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

The best buffet ever. I was full for days. The seafood selection is amazing. The shrimp may have been the star for me. Though the snow crab was excellent. They also had fresh sashimi and really good sushi options. I was most impressed with this buffet and will make it a point to return often. I find it to be a great deal. You can target just sushi and the buffet is a deal. The seafood make it the best buffet in the city. It's like a Vegas buffet to be honest. read more

Ombu Buffet - A mix of seafood, sushi and a piece of steak. - Buffets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Food was cold and not really good. The meat was dry and hard especially the steak. Chicken does not have a lot of meat. Service was fine they made sure to not leave a full table. The ambiance was good love the way the ceiling looks. read more

service was very horrible ! staff was highly disrespectful and told me I will need to rush to eat my food and they will tell me to get out a 4:30 after the bring dinner out I made it to the place at 2:15 he told me they close at 3 and I will need to rush and eat my food and then pay a second pride at 4:30 which would've been 30$ . I then proceeded to ask for a manager and he told me there is no manager and that's their company protocol, I asked another woman for help and he told her not to help and tell us no for the manager . he laughed in my family face and shewed us off . very disrespectful ! please do not eat here ever ! No good ambiance and place was dirty and they laughed at us ! ID NEVER COME TO EAT AT THIS HORRIBLE ASS PLACE AND STAFF WHO RUNS IT ! Please don't spend your money here it is not worth it ! read more

Definitely worth the trip out of the city! As a New Orleans resident, the prospect of eating outside of the restaurants is rare. But Ombu brought me out and didn't disappoint! Their speed was a good variety that's sure to please anyone. A great experience for anyone who's looking to try something new and explore Asian seafood. I'm no expert on sashimi and sushi, but their options were fantastic from tender salmon sashimi and nigiri to creative pink sushi rolls! Their crab was a big sell for many, as it was almost instantly emptied as soon as it went out. The crawfish was not my favorite, it came out tougher. I'm also writing in mid January, so not necessarily the prime time for crawfish. Overall the ambiance and service was quick, easy to navigate, and welcoming. If you're looking for a buffet around the New Orleans/westbank area... I wouldn't go anywhere but here! read more

I'm not and I repeat not a buffet girlie but for the right seafood buffet I can be convinced. This is one that I would revisit. It's around $30 pp, it's huge inside so plenty of seating and it's clean. There's a verity of seafood options. Crawfish, shrimp a few ways, sushi, crab legs, salmon and others. I'm never able to eat enough to make me feel it's ever worth it but the ambience and experience made this spot worth it in my opinion. read more

This place is new but it became my favorite buffet in town!Food selection was great, sushi and seafood was fresh good size crawfish.If you are looking for place to eat with great selection you should definitely try this. If I can, I would definitely wanna eat here everyday (lol).Will definitely come back! read more

The food is great, the service is awesome and the place is clean. Love it! My boyfriend and I go just about every Sunday.

The nostalgia of a Chinese buffet I remember as a teenager. I loved it. The staff was super nice everything looked very clean and even though they were busy were filling up the buffet and cleaning up the messes. It was only 25$!!!!! Glad this place opened glad everyone isn't scared of buffets anymore. Like any buffet some things will taste excellent some things you won't like but I tasted almost everything and I definitely recommend you will definitely leave so full and have a good time. read more

The set up of the restaurant was nice. Service when entering was ok...our waiter made sure to check in often. The food was ok as well, but it wasn't covered. And later into our meal after going back for more I noticed that flies had made their way in...a few of them landed on the food and none of the workers did anything to cover the food or swat them away..not sure if that can be fix or improved to ensure overall Quality and safety of the customers. But other then that...the food was ok. read more

Will not be going back to this place. Food was either bland or super salty. Crab legs are super small and mushy. They offer king crab but I never even saw it available the whole time there. Dimsum was terrible. Even the dessert was bad. For $25 per person no thanks read more

Found the food to be good, service was a little above average, ambiance is wonderful.

Excellent service. However, the food was mid. I wouldn't rush to get here, but still give it a try if you're nearby. Went during lunch - $17.45 (after taxes). read more

I have been wanting to try this place since I saw they were open! Lately, I've been in the habit of reading reviews before I visit a place! They have some mixed reviews, so I wasn't sure what we were going to get! I figured for $25.99, all you can eat what the heck! I was so pleased with every single thing I tried! I had the crawfish, crabs, snow crab legs, octopus sushi, many varieties of shrimp, cuttle fish, all the sashimi available, oysters, muscles, Cajun and regular butter mixed. I'm a pretty adventurous eater so I really was in awe of this place! It's beautiful on the inside! It has these fiber optic looking trees hanging from the ceiling! It's a wonderful shade of glowing blue on the walls! The servers are nice and courteous! They come quick with your refills and take your plates away soon! Overall this is one of my new favorite spots! We will be back here many times! I'm so glad I listened to my instincts and came here! I didn't try any of the Chinese food or any rolls! My fiancé had a little of everything thing and loved it all! Then even had pizza and nuggets for our picky boy lol read more

Very cool place! Specifically, the food arrangement, the array of foods to eat and the desserts. Plates were cleared promptly and every server was so nice. I like the idea of paying in advance as well as the tip. OMBU has made the Westbank shine! read more

so upset with today's visit. all the regular food was cold and dried out. chicken wings, general tso, orange chicken, ribs, fried shrimp. everything. Crawfish was decent. The seafood crabs and oysters were not good today. whatever that sweet taste is that they're adding makes It awkwardly nasty. Idk why they just don't boil the hot ceabs in the same juice as crawfish and give people the option for that seafood saice cause it's not tasty. Too sweet. Shouldn't be sweey at all. Same with oysters. All they should put is Parmesan cheese and chargrilled butter sauce. Nothing else. That sweet water topping isn't good. All the shrimp were overcooked. Tried them all diggerent ways. So upset. Wanted to ask for at least half back since once person didn't eat anything really. Bill was $72. Insane. This my 3rd time coming. 1st time was ok, 2nd time okay, this one was the deal breaker for me. Great ambiance. read more

I have been to the buffet multiple times. They have a beautiful selection of food choices you can pick from they have sushi, dumplings, pizza, ice cream, desserts, even different types of crabs and crawfish. They have crab on ice crab that is still hot boiling and they always switch it out, when the pan starts to get empty, but the desserts aren't that well though. read more

This place is conveniently located next door to 88 Farmers Market (excellent Asian market). We had been looking for a place to lunch before we went grocery shopping and Ombu has a nice sized banner proclaiming its Grand Opening. Grand it is indeed! The interior is reminiscent of a Tokyo restaurant. My friend agreed and said it was also "very Vegas". It's clean, there's a bunch of neon and, if you look up, there are fireworks of color light filaments. It's pretty. The seating is comfortable and the tables all seem level. The food...YUM!!! Everything was very fresh and the variety was unbelievable. There could definitely be more labels, especially the dessert area. I tried a little bit of everything and it was mostly delicious. The "dumpling sauce" was not the usual sauce. The smell was extremely off-putting and it tainted everything else on my plate. It could have been just me but maybe not. The beef in the beef and broccoli was very tender and seasoned well. I found the brown sugar bun (there are a few dim sum bao!) quite bland. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the various chicken preparations were all balanced in the flavor/spice ratio. The almond cookies were soft, the star shaped filled (apple? pear?) cookies were weird and pasty, cake squares weren't labelled (not good for those of us with food allergies), the tiny brownies were moist, and I was not brave enough to try the packaged snack that described itself as "flour flavored with chicken meat floss". Here's a thing that I bothers me. Should plates and bowls be at knee height? Because that is where you will find them under the buffet items. Utensils are in the usual spots: on the same level as the food. Lunch price is $13.99 + tax. Dinner is $25.99 + tax. Lunch is absolutely worth it. I don't know what changes are made to make dinner $12 more expensive. There's plenty of seafood, including sushi, options during lunch. There is also a take out option which is charged by weight. I did not make note of the cost per pound but there were signs posted that stated wasted food would be charged at $9.90 per pound. Overall, I will happily lunch at Ombu again. I'll take pictures to post here when I do. read more

charged me for 2 meals & only needed one , crabs were overcooked & they had flies flying around & landed on food. Food was salty . read more

Ombu Buffet - receipt - Buffets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

I was super excited to try this new buffet, but it just wasn't good. The crab legs were rubbery and nearly impossible to crack. The meat inside was overcooked and super stringy. The snow crab used in the sushi was very strange in texture and color. The hot food was just not good and unflavored. The extra star is for the crab rangoons and salmon nigiri which was the only thing appetizing that I had. I may have high expectations, because I work at a sushi restaurant and I'm use to quality. But this was just not it. I wouldn't be opposed to giving it another try, because the service was good and it was very clean. Hopefully they work on food quality overall. read more

I love this buffet. I came here for lunch yesterday. Food has a great variety, many choices, all delicious. My only complaint is since I'm a senior citizen, I would like vegetables cooked more tender please. Love the staff, helpful and friendly. Great music in background and love the atmosphere. Highly recommend. See y'all soon !! read more

Beautiful upscale restaurant with fabulous ownership. Definitely worth a stop when on the west bank!

I've been to many buffets but this one is different! High quality! So much sea food! Sushi and sashimi! The price is so worth it! I can't wait to go back again! read more

Went today right when it opened excited to give them a try. None of the food was hot, not even the soup. Not much flavor. Drinks were flat and syrupy. Just very disappointed. One and done for me! read more

The food was hot and they have a large selection of seafood!!!The inside is beautiful and the workers was friendly!! They have a large sushi selection and hibachi read more

Snow crabs were not good. Buffet food was basic. Was trapped by the all you can eat snow crabs.

Sushi is fantastic! Crab legs- not so much. Lunch is really good for the price!! Dinner is really nice as well.

Their price ridiculously high! When the 3 of us arrived they asked us to pay over $80 for 3 buffets. We walked out.

Went to this place because the TikTok foodies was hyping it up but it was not all that for me I'm a picky eater so there was not much of a selection to my liking I literally ate lukewarm crab legs the entire time my friend who is more open in her food choice tried a lot of other things and was not satisfied so will not be going back don't believe everything you see on TikTok read more

The temperature of the food was horrible. With the apology there were no other alternatives but excuses. Food temp makes a difference after complaining food started coming out much fresher in a nut shell check your food temp. It can be disappointing if you eat it. For the price the service should be much better. read more

Food was great for this price and no long wait in line ,love it,will be back. My kids love dessert and ice cream there read more

I went for the seafood. They had a great variety, but everything lacked flavor including the garlic butter sauce. This is a newly opened business so I will give it another try so e time down the line. 25.99 wasn't a bad price, the restaurant was beautiful, and the staff was friendly. read more
