I've been coming here with my family since I was a kid... The Food is always fresh, hot, and still really good. Still the best buffet I have ever been to.... One thing I haven't say... all the years I've been coming here they always served crab leg clusters... and when I finally start eating crab legs... now they only have these individual legs. lol. But the food and service is still good. read more

U can't eat all you Want! After 2 hours they tell u that u can have no more! Lots of luck

I'd rate Seaport Buffet two and a half stars. I'd estimate that there are upwards of four dozen items plus at least a dozen or so dessert items. Focus seems to be on Chinese-American cuisine. My favorite item was the fried chicken. Very casual atmosphere. Pricing was about $25 per person for the dinner menu. No alcohol for sale but seemed the BYOB was permitted. We were seated quickly and the staff cleared our plates consistently. Restroom was handicap accessible. read more

Not sure what the bad reviews are about. It's a buffet. The price is not bad at all. It's a steal for lunch weekdays at 15 pm and the most expensive is 25 bucks. They had a decent amount of seafood. The fried chicken wings, fried shrimp, steamed fish, fries, and dessert were good. the ribs, string beans, lo mein, teriyaki were okay too. They had quite a lot of sushi but they werent very good. I had a lot of food and it was well worth the money. It's easy to get your moneys worth. Don't expect amazing food as it's not very fresh but it's not bad. read more

Well it's not what it was back in the day an even the music catered to the staff not the customer. There is very little food choice and even the fruits don't look so tasteful. This place need some menu update an the place also need better lighting an painting of the place. It must be under new management because the food are tasteless. They even have a sign saying an waste food will be charge by the pound but how the he'll am I force to eat tasteless food when my eye an belly will not acomidate these items. As stated you pay for what you get but I want a refund in this case. I will turn Chinese by the time I leave this place because I don't understand the music the whole time sitting down an even the carpet looks like it's been here for over ten years plus. Event after I pay the bill of what i try to eat they still asking for a tip, well let me give you a tip. We need better service an food choice. read more

My father went to eat here and got sick with terrible diarrhea for 1 week, is currently hospitalized with Clostridium Difficile and Camphylocter infections, highly contagious. He doesnt go out much, so he definitely got it from here. Unsanitary food handling and undercooked or raw food cause this. This place should be closed down read more

My family has been coming here for as far back as I can remember. Everyone loves how fresh the food is. It could be a bit hectic on weekends and holidays and a little bit of Hunger Games for the crab legs though. read more

If you love seafood, this is the place! Shellfish galore. They have big clams, small clams, black mussels, green lipped mussels, crawfish, crab, shrimp, etc. Good food, I would go back! read more

I'm a long-time customer of the Seaport and always enjoy the food and the variety of selections here. fried chicken is one of my favorites ice cream machine is another I always get a good seat even when the place is busy. I usually bring a few friends along . free refills of beverage is also A plus. it may very well be under new management because I notice the waiters/ workers the last few visits this summer are most likely told to put pressure on the tables while your eating by constantly hovering over you back and forth very annoying even when there no plates to remove. The way I deal with this is take my time and leave a small tip only because of this behavior that is unacceptable and on purpose I believe its to get you out as fast as possible but little do they realize its affecting that good tip at the end read more

Okay so...this is a four-star review simply because it's a Chinese buffet...so standards have to be lowered given that when you go here you KNOW what you're getting yourself into. Do not come expecting some gourmet experience. If you want to get a Chinese food fix, binge style, and also nosh on some other non-Chinese goodies, this is your spot. It's packed. I came on a Sunday night and there were barely any free tables. It cost me $50 for two people, including a beverage. Come. Eat your heart out. And get your dollar's worth of face stuffage. Like any buffet, there are some dishes better than others. My favorites were the ribs. I order them from my go-to takeout spot and these were way better. I also really liked the pork dumplings. Shout out to having chicken nuggets and fried plantains. They also have the usuals: chicken and broccoli, lo mein, walnut shrimp, general tso's, fried rice, etc. The buffet is complete with soups, sushi, a salad bar, desserts, and soft serve ice cream. Again, keep in mind this review is basing this on being a Chinese buffet...not a regular restaurant, not a takeout joint...it's a BUFFET. In the real, non-buffet world, no, this isn't four-star food, but within the context of what it is, it's pretty solid. read more

I try not to shy away from low rated Chinese buffets because I don't have a ton of expectations as long as the flavors are there and the food is fresh. That being said, Seaport is a pretty decent choice with plenty of options. There are a good variety of seafood (clams, mussels, crab legs, crawfish, shrimp) and all the food my family of 6 had tasted good. My four boys (ages ranging from 1-11) had about 3 plates each. The fried rice, chicken wings, lo mein and green mussels were tasty enough that my kids kept asking for more. They also had chicken nuggets, tiny personal pizzas and French fries that were part of their dishes. My 3 year old also had a salad I fixed for him from the salad bar and the sushi bar had a small variety but tasted good when we went in. Overall, a good place for us to dine on a Thursday night and my kids left with full bellies. My 6 year old said he hadn't had Chinese buffet food in a long time and it made him happy, which made me happy. Our servers were great, kind and refilled our drinks promptly. Would definitely come back! read more

I ended up with in the ER with a gastro virus after visiting this place. This place is entirely too crowded. They clearly feening to make money they have ppl packed up on top of each other like sardines in the dinning area. Can't even properly come out of your seat without bumping into the person sitting behind you. I'm guessing they're trying to save on gas as well cause a lot of the foods I picked up were below room temperature some even cold. Not by far my best buffet experience. And they're relatively pricey. My mom and I plate alone came up to $76 not sure what we ate here that was worth that price... read more

Do not come here. Limited food and most disturbingly, I got food poisoning. I am sick till today I ate here yesterday lunch. Thre up at 8 pm. Stomach pains. I am a clean eater and dont ever eat outside food for 6 months now. Service was ok. Good to knkw they are aware but i feel uncomforably watched as i ate. Will not be coming here again and if you chose to be careful with their seafood and chicken. ​​ read more

Good luck getting anything good on your plate. When they refill anything, especially crab legs, there's literally at least a dozen people fighting for the food. I am not exagerating. read more

For the price, it's really not bad. The food selection is limited but decent for a good meal. The interior was dark and desperately needs a renovation. The staff was good up until the end when they stopped me from leaving and asked for a bigger tip..... I don't think I'd come back unfortunately read more

High prices, mediocre buffet, mediocre food. In fact, some of it is ice cold! However, you are looking for Chinese buffets on Christmas Day, this will do just fine, if you stick to the basics. I am not a fan of all the signage indicating upcharges for people who waste food. I am sure many people come here and do that, but in COVID climate, be happy they are there at all. Two hour time limit? I do not think you need two hours to eat your way through here. The desserts tasted fresh and actually are decent. Then you can walk off all you ate by walking the 10 minute walk to the Sheepshead Bay subway station. read more

First time dining since the pandemic. The food is good here, lots of options and replaced regularly. Covid wise it's pathetic Maskless patrons at the buffet is not just unsanitary it's downright dangerous. At least ask patrons to wear masks at the buffets. Will not return anytime soon. Don't know how the citywide mandate will work here. read more

Seaport Buffet - Maskless buffet - Buffets Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Buffet is open for indoor dining as of 2/14/2021! The usual food selection is still available. Prices remained the same from pre-pandemic times. Weekends are very crowded, so come here during weekdays for a calmer experience. All COVID safety protocols are followed. Quite a lot of customers are frequenting this Emmons favorite. Hope this place never goes out of business, as it's been a neighborhood staple for over 15 years. Stay strong and hang in there! read more

I came with friends to celebrate one of my friends birthday and one of the waiters tried charge me $5 for a piece of cake (that was already free on the buffet table) AFTER they sang happy birthday to my friend ( also no sign or warning they wanted to charge me for it and it's free each time i went there for someone's birthday ) just make sure you know what you're getting charged for !!! read more

I've been meaning to go here and I was pleasantly surprised. Look, it's a buffet in Sheepshead Bay. If your considering eating here I'm pretty sure you know you're not in Atlantic City or Vegas, so the quality and quantity aren't going to be as vast. The selection is fine. The quality of the food is pretty good. The food and deserts were legitimately tasty. The sushi station was a great touch. Compared to similar buffets, this was a cut above them. read more

I thought the customer service was awesome. They were quick, friendly, and attentive to me. I came mostly for the crab legs. I got (1) crab leg. They come out every 15-20min so I stood near the side. Ten minutes later, two women grabbed tongs and stood horse stance in front of the trays. No problem, thought I. I'm sure I'll get a few normal sized crab legs. When the crab legs came out, the two women grabbed tong-fuls of them. Because I didn't come armed with sheet mail and a medieval sword, I left with a tiny leg. The rest of the food was not good. The only other seafood I tried were the shrimp and oysters but they were both tough. The dessert was dry and the ice cream tasted like cold water. read more

I was more impressed with this buffet than I had expected based on the other reviews. The dishes were replaced frequently in the time I was there, enough that by the time I was ready for a new plate, there were new items coming out. The sushi had a good variety, and it was better than any other buffet I have tried. The shrimp cocktail tasted fresh and was very clean. Overall, the food was very satisfactory, just not incredible. The ambiance is nothing special, kinda plain and boring. But I would definitely visit again read more

Food is always cold. Pretty sure they are not checking food temperatures. Went here and ran to the bathroom immediately once i got home. Food selection is basic. Very dark inside. Not well lit up. The servers watch you like a hawk when eating i guess to make sure your not stealing. (Nothing worth stealing) Barely put out crab legs maybe every 2hrs and when they do, its cold which is weird. Definitely a 3/10 read more

I liked the food variety and that they have a dessert bar and an ice cream machine! Great place for someone who enjoys seafood and would like to try everything lol Personally I liked the cozy atmosphere and the dessert area, went back and forth 3 times to try the mini cakes and ice cream Went to a similar place in San Diego and they had a lot more dishes to offer (not only seafood). Wish they could do the same here and add more chicken, pizza and veggie options read more

Seaport is a solid chinese buffet. Something that isn't easy to find anymore in the area. The prices are normal and the service is decent.

Ehh I was already turned off by the price and the warning posted throughout the seated dining area. It read as follows,"Dear customers, Please be considerate. Do not waste food. Only take what you can eat. Any wastage will cost you extra charges (by pound). Maximum seating time limit: 2 hours. If you refuse to leave when requested, you will be charged double. There is higher cost per person/child Monday-Thursday in comparison to Friday-Sunday. Why am I paying $10 for a one-year-old? I felt like I was being extorted. I even overheard another customer inquire about the price difference based on weekday. I just felt unwanted, unwelcome, under surveillance and under pressure. On top of all that, the food was subpar. I cannot comment on the seafood, which I guess is their major selling point because I don't like or eat much seafood due to dietary restrictions. We were ready to go. With our server nowhere to be found, we assumed that we had to walk up front to pay our bill. That has been our experience with other Chinese buffets. Our server popped up out of nowhere, and hurried after us as if we were going to dine and dash. I have no clue about what their past experience with customers, but this was the final nail in the coffin. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Seaport Buffet - Disclaimer for.dining guests - Buffets Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is definitely one of the best seafood buffets you are going to get for the price in NYC. The seafood here is fresh and tasty. It is not the regular Chinese buffets! It is clean and spacious! Crab legs, Shrimps, clams, mussels, baked fish fillets and craw fish are the reasons you are coming here! I love their craw fish! The flavor is not too spicy like Cajun style but with a unique savory flavor. Now moving to the chicken and ribs. The kids loved all the chicken options and delicious finger licking boneless ribs. They also have a nice selection of fresh Sushi with a chef making the fresh rolls on spot. The service is great! Staff is very friendly! The kids enjoyed all the deserts and ice cream in the end! I definitely will come back! read more

I am very disappointed with the service. I found a hair in my food and I took it to them. They took it and they didn't come back and I believe they thought I was lying. I did not get an apology nor a discount. It's a disgrace how I didn't get a sorry nor did the guy come back and apologize. I am very disgusted and I certainly will not be coming back here. I wish to get an apology from the manager sooner or later. read more

This is the grimiest place ever! And I wish I could give it zero stars. I went there the other day for seafood, and was disappointed. The food was cold, they had NO crabs legs only an empty pan where you could see where they once were. When I asked when we're they going to bring some out I was told "in a few", that turned into 30 minutes and when they finally came people acted like pure savages!!! They only brought out 1 pan, and the legs looked anorexic. One guy came and took all of them.and they didn't bring anymore out. It was if the staff was getting off on people fighting for the seafood..I was TIGHT!..not to mention the bathroom was funky and dirty with piss on the toilet seats and no toilet paper read more

Parking available, however food was nasty & tasted old it's been sitting here at least 48 hours. Also this restaurant is open until 10pm. This business's hours on yelp are not accurate. This place food used to be good years ago but it's definitely not now. read more

Omg people!! Stay far far away from this disgusting place. Flaming Grill is only 5 min away. Who would go to this disgusting place that is overpriced for the total crap they serve. You have to be a bum off the street to eat there. About two months ago we went because we were in the neighborhood and couldn't get to Flaming Grill. So we said what the heck let's do it. We basically paid for nothing because we ate nothing. It's disgusting. No choices at all. Food is either overcooked or undercooked. Women who serve the buffet are nasty and don't speak a word of English. How this place hasn't been shut down for unsanitary conditions idk. Stay away if you want to remain disease free read more

Guys.. the food was honestly not that bad. Not much variety. What completely ruined my mood was a random waiter, that did NOT seat us... complaining about me giving no tip saying "no education" and "thanks for nothing"... like hear me out. HE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT GIVE ME MY CHECK. DO NOT SERVE ME OBVIOUSLY AND NEVER CHECKED IN ON THE TABLE. So how the hell am I supposed to give nobody a tip??? Then proceed to talk crap about us. Disgusting staff. The only nice one was the old man that sat us.. read more

We have been going here for years and my kids like this place. It has a good variety of food and most of it is pretty good. I'm taking one star off got our last visit on Father's Day. When we got there, there was a sign on the window saying the "special buffet" was $33 pp. We were shocked. Our is usually around $23 and I'm pretty sure the sign they convered with this new sign stud that price was for holidays too. Total ripoff. There was nothing "special" and some things were not as good as on regular days. My kids like dessert at the end and there was hardly anything. Don't go on any holiday! At least we were able to help ourselves because the kids were starving after waiting on the line to get in. It was also extremely crowded and noisy. Oh well, we still like to go a few times a year so my picky kids can find what like to eat and my son can have the seafood he loves and it's usually pretty decent. read more

This place really is so vile. Was really starving and went here for lunch. I went up a 2nd time even though I thought food sucked, but there was one shrimp dish that was decent. A waitress came over, and asked if I was done. I said no, and she looked at my 2nd plate of shrimp and rolled her eyes and made a face - what she was trying to say, I'm not sure. It seemed like she was calling me a pig. I don't eat crab legs but what I saw, I will never, in all my life forget. A tray of crab legs came out and people were acting like savages - grabbing at em in hostile manner. That to me is not an enjoyable meal. They really were rude as ppl say, and food basically was not good. I will never step foot in this dirty dump again. I don't write bad reviews because I'm friends with restaurant owners, worked in the industry, and I know how severe ppl can be. I would not want to mess up a business. But this place treated me lousy and it was uncalled for. It's not like they are serving a good product. Read first sentence again and go somewhere that knows how to treat their paying customers. read more

Incredibly stingy with their crab legs! Even if you're on line, the lady handling the servings will give a portion to the guy behind you, if you're Black or Asian (they hate American Born Chinese)! If you voice your complaints, they'll say,"Okay..." and not do anything! If you decide to tip lower because of your anger, they will send the head waiter to tell you they need more money! NOT recommended! read more

The staff I interacted with was really kind. The food I tried was cooked we'll however the general tso chicken was the only thing that was tasty as if everything else had not one spice not even a little salt and pepper. read more

I rarely drop a review but this place i felt it's a must, i wish i can give them a zero star, poor management and aweful customer service. My son was born 2016 but he is a little bit bigger than his age, my 1st time there they asked me about his age i told them 2 yrs then they charged me for him(knowing that they only charge 3yrs old and above) i asked them why, they said we thought he is 3 and they took it out of my receipt, i went there ystrday for the 2nd time, the manager asked me how old is he i told him 2 yrs he said no he is big , he is more than 3, i told him are u calling me a liar he said no but ur son is more than 3, luckily i save all documents on google drive so i had his birth certificate i showed it to him he was like yeah i thought he is 3 or more, i told him thats because u r stupid, in usa customers are always right, u just dont accuse them of lying. Will never go there specially food is good but no variety at all. But i liked the fact they have an ice cream machine for my son but not worth it at all. read more

My family and I came to Seaport Buffet about 10 years ago, when it was still good. My boyfriend & I came to Seaport Buffet about two weeks ago since we heard it reopened finally after months of being shut down because of the mess Hurricane Sandy left. The interior of the buffet definitely looked classy and elegant surprisingly. Everything looked brand new. There were still 3 aisles food just as I remembered - a fried food station, a sauteed/steam station, and a dessert/salad/raw station. They also have ice cream, soda, and tea at the back side. We ordered two sodas and the waiter said if we wanted refills it will be an additional charge for $1.25. While we made our way to the food stations, our stomachs felt indifferent. Some of the food looked unappealing and drenched in a tremendous amount of oil. I know it's a buffet and food doesn't need to look sexy or attractive, but I would think that since Seaport Buffet just reopened, that they would step up with at least a "B" game like their interior. A lot of the dishes at the food stations were refilled in and out, but I noticed from the time my boyfriend & I got to the buffet -- the crab legs stations was never refilled. They had miniature egg custards which looked stale and was left out for a long time. I thought they were adorable, but they ended up being unappealing cause there were black shavings of something on some of the egg custards. Their Shrimp with Mayo was OD on Mayo. The fried calamari was disgusting. Cold, stale, and no seasoning at all. I really think out of all the food, I only enjoyed the Chow Mein and the string beans. If you really care about how food should taste or the food quality at a Buffet, I definitely would not recommend coming to Seaport Buffet. The customer service was mediocre. The waiters/waitresses don't really care to say "Thank You" . The food is just atrocious. I hope they improve their food quality. read more
