    Previously, I saw ppl talking about this new buffet in flushing and I have been wanting to go and check it out. They were not kidding about the seafood. I was happy with the selection! Do you see how much we filled our plates with seafood? They practically had all the seafood: oysters, clams, abalone, sashimi, shrimp, crawfish, crab, crab leg (my family and don't really care too much for crab legs so we opted out), octopus, frog, jellyfish, steamed or grilled fish. You name it and it's practically there. Probably the only one missing was lobster and I didn't mind. We were also happy with the meat selection. The lamb was well seasoned and cooked to medium rare. I also really liked the chicken yakitori. We would have tried everything if we could fit it in our tummies. Just so you know, we definitely got our money's worth. Crazy part is all this food was less than $50/pp. The staff were also really sweet and nice. They were attentive and retrieved the dirty plates quickly and were really nice and friendly about it. I would go back again!

    All the reels are hyping this place up. Doesn't worth the price. Foods cold at the buffet. So disappointed, will not return. There's free parking all day Sunday and dinner services during the week.

    Two things that make Sea & Sky Feast Buffet 海天盛宴 a good destination for all-you-can-eat Asian-style buffet seekers: - The restaurant is close to the mass transit hub of Downtown Flushing, whereas other buffets in the same class are less convenient to mass transit. - The food is higher quality than other similarly-styled buffet restaurants, and that is reflected in the price. My favorite items from a recent holiday lunch visit ($42.99 per person plus tax and tip) were the stir-fried snow crab legs, walnut shrimp, and fried lobster. The stir-fried snow crab legs were medium-light on oil, and seemed less salty compared to the regular steamed snow crab legs. Both versions seemed fresh; it may be worthwhile to eat snow crab legs here than to buy and make your own from a local supermarket. The walnut shrimp had a light crisp. The fried lobster was heavier on oil, but still tasty. The regular steamed crab legs, stir-fried beef, and chicken wings were also good. The grilled oysters needed a splash of lemon. The lamb chops and the Peking Duck buns were OK; I wouldn't have missed them. Tea and soda are complimentary, as are freshly squeezed / blended orange juice, carrot juice, and apple / cucumber juice. The one issue I have with the menu is that Sea & Sky Feast Buffet doesn't explain on the menu the differences in pricing tiers of lunch, all-day dinner, and holidays, other than to state that holiday pricing provides "special dishes". The restrooms lack paper towels by the sinks, and use electric hand dryers instead. Bring some napkins with you if you don't watch to touch the restroom doors on the way out. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals and start at 15%.

    Came here on a Saturday night with a group of 4. We were seated quickly. There is a lack of food in both quality and quantity. A lot of the trays were empty. Most of the selection were deep fried or frozen food. I visited during the restaurant's opening, and the food was excellent (lamb chops, crab legs, more sushi). So this second visit was shocking. Even for $27pp AYCE (with a promotion from September btw), this place is overpriced. I would not come back.

    This restaurant is fairly new. The food is fresh and they have so many varieties compared to the many other buffets I've been to. They have fresh sushi and fresh seafood. The food stations are constantly being restocked. They have fresh lobster on Sundays only. They have an area just for dessert's and ice cream station. The staff is so friendly and constantly asking you if you need anything. The restaurant is so brightly lit and nicely decorated and clean. The bathrooms are clean also. My new favorite go to Buffet AYCE

    For the price, it can't get better than Sea and Sky Feast Buffet in terms of variety of luxury seafoods like king crab, abalone, conch, raw oysters and clams, and an assortment of sashimi! There's plenty of hot foods as well. Each person gets a complimentary soft drink. We went two times, first time on a Saturday night around 8 pm and a second time on a Friday night at 7 PM. Both times we were seated right away. It was never crowded during these times. My girlfriend and I could not stop eating the grilled garlic oysters toward the back of the buffet. The butter and garlic combo is simply delicious. They also have Peking duck for those of you who can't resist the juiciness of roasted duck and hoisin combo. We also ate a lot of king crab legs which can be hard to extract the meat without the proper tools but luckily one of our friends brought a scissor just for this occasion. Some of their special concoctions were great too such as abalone with vermicelli, conch with bean sprouts, or steamed egg with shredded crab. We honestly did not even get to try everything in our two times coming here because we fell in love with certain dishes right away and kept on going back for more. I highly recommend this place. Especially with the great price they have for dinner right now. I have a feeling the price will increase in the near future because of the value this restaurant brings.

    Wide variety of options. Jack of all trades and master of none. Come hungry and leave full, but nothing was too memorable. TLDR: lots of options that were okay to munch on, nothing to wow you. Bang for your buck. You got options of Chinese bbq, vegetables, fried appetizers, seafood, meats, cold dishes, sushi, fresh juice and dessert (fruits, cakes, and ice cream). I tried a little of everything and I'm not going to describe it all lol. But in general the fried apps were okay, the battle for the crab legs and lobster was brutal. Your fellow customers will be the typical inconsiderate hungry people. I saw an older lady grab her friend and take the ENTIRE TRAY. The moment it was refilled it was quickly taken away by the next couple of people. I was lucky to eat a singular lobster tail that was left behind. The fried and steamed seafood (not sushi) was a hit or miss. Most of it was borderline not fresh. 3/5 of my shrimps was hard to peel and mushy. The meats were decent, would avoid the Chinese sausage. Cold meats were not marinated well. Sushi was pretty good for an ayce buffet. Surprisingly fresh and tasty. Staff was attentive, always clearing out plates, offering napkins, drinks, and asking if we need anything. Bathrooms were not clean. Someone left a nasty surprise in there when I went sadly.

    Came to try with my nephew and honestly not a huge fan of this. They have a selection of items but some dishes are good while others are not. I would not recommend coming here.

    The service was great! The food however was a bit underwhelming; there are a lot of dishes like beef & broccoli, sour fish, seafood mix, etc but it was overall subpar. The sushi was ok, I enjoyed the tuna and salmon sashimi the most. They also have a variety of fruits like honeydew, grapes, oranges. Also, dessert like cookies and cake. For seafood they have crab legs but it's iced up, there's butter and lemon on the side. I expected a bit more from it since I got their too good to go box and it was delicious. The ambiance was really neutral and being there for a while really tired me out It was ayce $28 per person, 1.5 hours dining.

    I took my brother here recently for his birthday. He went on a Sunday right after they opened for lunch. They were only a few tables when we arrived but it filled up quickly within the hour. The buffet is nicely lit and was well staffed. Service was excellent and attentive. The price for lunch on a Sunday is the same as a dinner price and it's $40 per person. I went straight for the seafood and notice that they had a lobster as well as crab legs and shrimp cocktail. They had Peking duck made to order as well as variety of desserts and sushi rolls. The normal price during a weekday for lunch is about $27 but I think they do not have certain things available such as the lobster. The restaurant is fairly new and is located Just off of Main Street on Sanford Avenue. I may go back again on a weekday with friends for lunch rather than pay the dinner price for a lunch meal.

    New all you can eat buffet that recently opened in flushing. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the flushing subway station. Lunch is $26.99 (Monday to Saturday from 11 am to 3:30 pm), Dinner is $37.99 (Monday to Saturday from 5 pm to 10 pm), $40 all day and $42.99 on Holidays. In addition, if you bring 5 of your friends here on your birthday, the birthday person eat free. Kids under 3 feet eat free. The price includes the food, soft drinks, hot tea, coffee and even ice cream. I came here for lunch on Saturday. They have sushi, chinese food, fries, chicken wings, soup (hot & sour, oysters, pork ribs, shrimp, dim sum and crab legs. For Saturday lunch it was great value because it filled me up. However, if you are looking for lamb and lobster, they don't have it for lunch. Everything was clean and the waitress was quick to clean up after you find a dish and refill your drinks. Will definitely come back for dinner to try their full menu.

    I've been seeing this buffet restaurant all over social media and decided to try it. It's located in the heart of Flushing, so your best option is to come by public transportation. They do have paid parking, such as metered and private parking, if you need it during their lunch ours. In addition, they seem to also offer free parking during dinner time. I came during lunch so the wait was about 20 minutes long. Upon sitting down, the staff asks what you want to drink. I was able to try a variety of foods, ranging from grilled oysters, sashimi, meats, and crab legs. My main reason for coming during lunch was for the crab legs. Just the crab legs itself would be worth it for lunch. I did find the meat they offered (short ribs) to be a bit salty and full of fat. The way they have the tables and seatings are a little awkward. As I was seated on the left hand side, I had to move around to get to the food area. The layout of the food selections are in an L shape, which allows you to browse through all the choices you have. The seafood section was fully stocked. The grilled oysters did take a while to get as they were making it on the spot and there were multiple people ahead of me on the line. Overall, it is a decent place to get your buffet fix. Staff were very attentive, which is always a plus. They constantly came to take away the plates and provided the refills for the drinnks. There's a variety of hot foods and seafood available to choose from. At the end, you can get ice cream as a dessert.

    We enjoyed our meal here very much. We went on a Saturday for dinner right as they opened at 5pm, and the restaurant was almost empty. By the time we left around 6:30pm, the restaurant was almost full (but no line yet) so recommend coming early. There is a 90min time limit for all parties. At $37.99 for dinner, it's less expensive than some of the competitors in the area, and the food was fresh and tasty. The options aren't as many as some of the competitors in the area, but I thought the selection was still quite nice. And again, for that price, I'm okay with having slightly less selections but that's personal preference, my husband didn't think so haha. Soft drinks and tea are complimentary, beer is just $1.99/bottle. The most important marker for a buffet for me is the raw seafood, and this spot had a good selection. They have raw clams and oysters, chilled crab legs, sushi and raw sashimi (tuna, salmon, white fish, etc). Pretty solid selection, and everything seemed to be good quality and fresh. Everything was clean, and I was slightly thirstier afterwards than usuals (MSG?!) but not overly so. Service was kind and quick. I'd definitely be back!

The hot pot itself I think was average but the real standout for me was the appetizers. Seating in a booth tucked away in a corner on the first floor was a bit awkward to navigate. The sauce station downstairs was not well maintained and several items were out of stock, but that may have been because it was around 9PM. Second floor seating and sauce station are better. Food 4.5/5: Main complaint is that their menu is really confusing, despite this being my second visit. There are 4 pricing tiers. Everyone in a party has to choose the same one, so it can get pricey fast. Higher tiers include seafood and more premium wagyu cuts. You still get unlimited wagyu in the lowest tier but seafood is not included. I think this setup is fine because premium seafood items like lobster and crab tend to clutter the pot and are difficult to deshell while hot but also taste worse after cooled. Although the premium wagyu cuts do taste richer and "melt in your mouth," most of the fat is renders into the broth. Therefore, I don't think hot pot is the best way to enjoy wagyu, so the higher tiers didn't feel worth the price. The best part of the meal was definitely the appetizers and specialty dishes. The wagyu bone marrow was amazing and a must-try but only available to the second tier or up. Ambiance 3.5/5: I think being tucked away in a corner booth made the experience less enjoyable. The table was small for a party of 6, so we constantly had to rearrange dishes whenever new food arrived. It was inconvenient that everyone had to get up whenever I needed to refill my drink or sauce. Service 4/5: The first floor sauce station wasn't restocked throughout our stay so options were limited. Otherwise no real complaints regarding service to our table.

But it was okay because we found street parking a little bit of a walk away and was able to still enjoy ourselves. My fiancé and I grabbed a bunch of food from their big variety and both left stuffed. Overall, I can't say it's the best quality of foods however, the selection was huge and for the price, this was actually very good! The service was great. They started us off with drinks as soon as we sat down and would ask us if we needed refills on these drinks whenever they were running low. Even though there was a lot of people, because the space itself is also big, it did not feel like we were overcrowded so that was also a plus!

However, when we arrived, nobody was at the front counter, so we walked to the inside counter to ask to be seated. The front desk guy clearly just came in for his shift since he was hurrying on his cell phone, carrying bags and had his jacket on. He came over looking very busy and disheveled, and when my mom politely asked if we should wait here to be seated, he rudely responded, "Well if there's no one at that counter then you come to this counter if you see the sign." Meanwhile... there was no sign saying that when we left. My mom was just asking a simple question, so the attitude was unnecessary. Just because you're stressed or running late doesn't mean you take it out on customers. F him for being rude to my nice mom and never coming to this place again. As for the food, it was pretty mediocre overall, that experience left a bad taste. The sushi selection had a good variety, and the desserts were honestly the best part. They have a chocolate fondue station plus vanilla, matcha, and swirl soft serve ice cream machines. At least the place was clean. Also, the waitress gives you a parking discount before you leave, so don't forget to ask.

We are very familiar with the area and must have walked passed this neatly tucked away gem without ever noticing it. Our son had mentioned that he and his friends have been going to a sushi place near Asian Jewel, our former dim sum go to place. When we sat down to order, my wife and I were quite impressed by how clean and cozy the restaurant was. Kind of on the small side with a few tables on the ground floor level. The menu offered cooked food as well as fresh sushi. We decided to start with the sushi & sashimi combo. They also offered a sushi or sashimi a la carte menu where you can choose to order by the piece. I believe that if you choose one of their standard menu sushi or sashimi orders and pay with cash, the a la carte price per piece of sushi / sashimi is only $1.35 / piece! Well we were famished and in addition to the sushi & sashimi plate we ordered two rounds of sushi & sashimi a la carte. Their salmon and yellow tail was so fresh and so scrumptious as was the sweet shrimp. The tuna was also very yummy and did not disappoint! When all was said and done we were quite happy with our experience with Yoi Sushi Japanese. I highly recommend Yoi if you're anywhere near Tangram Mall or Asian Jewel and have a hankering for yummy sushi. They also offer cooked food as well as ramen bowls.

The best part of the experience was the marshmallows we got at the end and the free fruit provided but I wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone nor would I want to come back in the future If these are the standards the restaurant goes by

    Would you like to be transported back in time to ancient china?…read more How about just testing your spice tolerance to see if you can hang with the best? Well, if you want all of that, PLUS hot pot, look no further - this is the place to be! There is a reason this is one of the highest recommend spots to visit when you're in Flushing. First off, entrance? SO UNASSUMING. It's like, the tiniest door, with no real obvious signage. Once you go through, you basically feel like you're in one of the ancient alleys of China - decor is 1000% great. We had a larger party of 7, and they were luckily able to accommodate us since we lined up a few minutes before opening on a Friday. We actually got IMO the best seats in the house - towards the back, elevated up on some steps, a mini pavilion essentially. But enough about the decor.. how was the food? Well.. GREAT! And honestly, for NYC prices, not too expensive (but a bit pricy for flushing I guess). The quality was top notch (highly recommend trying the mala quail eggs) and the spice of the broth was GREAT! We went with medium since our server (amazing btw, thank you Sean / Shawn / Shaun??) said that he can't even go near hot, it burns his eyes. Medium was just perfect - felt great eating it with some sweats, regretted it the day after, which means I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Meats were good quality, veggies were yummy. I wish the shrimp paste had more in terms of quantity, we barely had seven bites for each of us, but it was really good. Also, pro tip, probably don't order Napa Cabbage, a lot of their other dishes will sit on top of a whole leaf, so you'll probably get enough from that unless you want to consume half a head. Sauce bar is $2 a person - which might be shocking for some to know they charge it, but it's pretty much the norm at a higher end hot pot place in big cities. At least they don't charge $6-$8 like some places and only throw in a few apps/desserts to try to justify it. Overall, really loved this place, and would definitely go back.

    I wanted to love this place since it's recommended all over tiktok and Yelp. We put our names in…read moreand got in around 2-3 hours later. I ordered the: -herbal soup base and mushroom base. The mushroom was my favorite and loaded with fresh mushrooms. -beef tongue rattan pepper: at first the pepper was not overwhelming but with time it was numbing my tongue which was a bit uncomfortable -sliced beef tendon: delicious -prime beef slices: they weren't that soft and not super well marbled. The bowl that our mushrooms came in was rusted... kind of ruined my whole experience. At least server was super nice and attentive. Wouldn't come back though.
