I've never had a bad experience a Spring ShabuShabu in Westbury. I first learned of this chain at their Flushing location and was so happy to see it opened closer to home. The Westbury location is much easier to find parking, staff are super nice and attentive, a clean bathroom, the selection of foods is great, the sauce bar is well stocked, and there are multiple flavors of soft serve and dole whip for dessert. It's always a challenge to find places that my parents are willing to go to for dinner, so it is a huge blessing that Spring open just 20 minutes away so we can add an additional restaurant to our family's list! It's also great to see such diverse patrons at this location.

Been wanting to go to this place for awhile now. Finally got the chance to this weekend. Was not disappointed! I enjoy hot pot in general but it's even better with the freezing weather we've been having. Drinking the broth just really hits the spot as well as eating all the piping hot foods that come fresh and steaming out of the boiling pot. The all-you-can-eat buffet setup is incredible. Endless fresh veggies, noodles, tofu, and extras that make customizing your pot a delight. They have like 37 different types of noodles to try. There are also so many different types of veggies which are a delight when it's bathed in the hot pot broth. My favorite is watercress The sauce bar is a highlight with a great mix of Chinese and japanese options that elevate every bite. Customize your saucepan because as you know, hot pot is only as good as your sauce game To top it off, the green tea/vanilla soft-serve ice cream at the end is a game-changer. It was creamy and refreshing! My kids and I went in for seconds and thirds. Service was attentive and friendly. The guy really went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. He also helped my son work the ice cream machine when I thought it was broken. I didnt get a chance to snap much photos. Next time tho. If you're in the area, give this shabu shabu place a try!

I'm the one that makes the joke about having to pay to make my own food, but this place was fine. It's the only buffet-style restaurant I will eat at and it is nice and clean. Both times I have gone they have been busy, but you don't feel crowded. The options are plentiful as well. I got what I liked and then got some stuff to try out. The only recommendation I would have would be some guidance and the sauces. Everyone seems to have their own little mixes they were making and I'm just totally clueless. I do recommend and this place is fun and filling.

My new favorite hot pot location! I love hotpot and usually go when I want to splurge a bit. With spring shabu shabu you have a more approachable price point with great quality and the unlimited option of choice. I've been here twice so far and the restaurant is clean, the food is fresh, and the service is quick. You pay a standard price to eat and that allows you to select what you want from the buffet which has noodles, rice cakes, leafy greens, root vegetables, and so much more! However this is an additional but very reasonable charge for meats. I wish the staff would label the meats or tell you what's what because both times I went I ordered a good range of meat and had no way to decipher my favorites. I've had better meats at other locations but they were still good and they offer a nice quantity. I love the fact that you can select what you want from the buffet, as it reduces food waste and you can really customize your experience. One of the best parts is after you eat your (possibly spicy) food you can cool down and get some ice cream - which is included! As this restaurant recently opened, it's quite promising and I hope its prices, cleanliness, and quality are here to stay.

Rib eye, beef belly, pork belly, seafood combo, clams

My family and I came here on Sunday at 5:30pm and it was already pretty busy. They don't take reservations so we wanted to get there early. We luckily were able to get a table right away. They offered us water or barley tea to drink since we didn't order any other drinks. We also immediately ordered our soup bases and the proteins we wanted. We chose... Soup bases: Dashix2 Mushroom Pork bone (They were out of Miso) Proteins: Ribeyex2 Beef belly Pork belly Seafood combo (included crab, white fish, clams, mussels, squid/octopus) Clams Lamb (we ordered later) Reminder- proteins are additional costs. We went and made our sauces and by the time we had finish making our sauces they had already put our soup bases down and our proteins down. They are very efficient. I the sauce area, they even have some premixed sauces like sesame oil and scallion or ponzu and garlic which were good. Definitely try them! One note: the clams are raw but the mussels are pre-cooked. Three of our mussels looked barely opened and then cracked so we asked to please get them replaced because we didn't want to risk it. They kept saying it was precooked but still replaced them. They have every possible vegetable, fish balls, and even fresh noodles that I was excited to try. You don't even really need to get that much protein, the buffet will fill you up plenty. When I went up for round 2, it even looked like they had rotated out some of the fish balls with different ones. They also filled up our soups a few times which was nice. They are pretty strict about the 90 minutes but we were so full, so we paid, got an ice cream cone to go and left. Very clean and spacious. They have so many tables I would be interested in going back

I love coming here for dinner! The service is always great, and it's perfect for large groups. The selection of vegetables, meats, and broths is excellent. The soft serve (pineapple, vanilla, or green tea) is my favorite sweet treat to finish the meal. Sometimes there can be a wait since they don't take reservations, but it's totally worth it.

Today I had the pork bone broth which was rich in flavor. We asked for mala sauce on the side so that we could add the preferred amount of heat to our soup. Love the large selection of vegetables, tofu, fish cakes and noodles to choose from. We ordered some lamb and pork belly on the side which was delicious too. I had some barley tea to drink and had both the green tea and vanilla swirl as well as the pineapple dole whip which I liked because it tasted like a refreshing sorbet at the end of a satisfying meal.

An unexpected, truly delightful surprise. We were headed to the Asian market around the corner for Christmas eve and most of stalls were closing up. Luckily, Lee accepted my suggestion to have a peek at Spring ShabuShabu and it was absolutely perfect. Clean, clean, sparkling clean. Well stocked & displayed greens, fish cakes, veggies & mushrooms galore! We chose our broths, ordered some additional seafood and had a blast. This is a great place for those who are vegan/vegetarians or have food allergies as the ingredients are fresh and unseasoned. You pay one price, which was extremely reasonable. Service was exceptional. Best of all, the Dole Whip soft serve at the end...self serve, non dairy..my favorite ! Go here..you will not be disappointed. It is a bright, beautiful, spacious restaurant.

Beef belly, fish cakes, house made ramen noodles, kimchi broth, red pepper flakes
Elsy L.

I thoroughly enjoy coming here every time. I used to go all the way to the Flushing NY location and am so happy they opened one closer. I loveee the way they set everything up inside- the decor and layout is very welcoming and open. It's well lighted as well and large. Their prices for the hot pot are not bad at all. Service is great always. The servers I have gotten are attentive. Food wise- I usually go with their kimchi broth. It is delicious- although I sometimes find myself adding salt and red pepper flakes. You can order meats from the menu which are extra charge, however there is a large self serve area for anything like fish cakes, noodles, and veggies. I ordered their beef belly from the menu which is delicious and you can tell it's fresh. The options in the self serve area expansive. Pictured are some of the picks I had: cheese fish cakes, shrimp filled fish cake, house made ramen noodles, mung bean noodles, wood ear mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, broccoli, bean sprouts, etc. There is also a make-your-own sauce bar. I will be back as always!

I love spring shabu! I've been a fan since they opened in Boston many years ago. Since then, they've expanded into flushing and Long Island as well. I really love this location because it's located near Roosevelt Field Mall and very spacious. It has its own parking lot so it's super convenient. It is similar to their other 2 locations in that you get your own individual soup and can control the settings on how hot you want it on your own. There are unlimited vegetables, fish ball, sauces, and ice cream. You just have to pay for the meat and seafood you want. I loved that this location was so spacious. There is so much seating and I never felt claustrophobic while getting my vegetables. The servers were friendly and would check up on us to clear our plates, refill water, and refill our soup broth. I got my usual, which is the pork bone broth and the fatty beef. I absolutely love their peanut sauce and would recommend it!!

Global Buffet is a huge restaurants inside a large brick building and is hard to miss. There is plenty of parking as it sits in a large shopping area.

Customer service was great from start to finish. Our table stayed clean and our drinks stayed full. My uncle footed the bill, but I glanced at the prices and they are very reasonable here. The buffet setup is massive. I've honestly only seen bigger in Vegas. They had about 3 rows of foods. On top of that, off to the side, they have salad and dessert bars, a hibachi station, and a large sushi station. As the name of the restaurant suggests, the offerings are truly global. They have a variety of different cuisines but the main focus is Chinese food. I had a flight to catch after this meal so I took it a little easy on my intake. I started off with sushi. For a buffet, the sushi was actually pretty decent. Set your expectations correctly and you will enjoy it. Everything else I tried throughout the buffet was good. No complaints from anyone in our party. Overall, for a Chinese buffet, this spot was not bad at all. I wouldn't seek it out or feel compelled to come back, but would not complain if the family brought us back here again.

Finally revisited Mizumi on Northern Blvd after many years, hoping to satisfy our sushi cravings…read more Instead, about an hour later, I was satisfying my bathroom's occupancy requirements... Let me backtrack. My wife and I arrived exactly at 12:06 PM on a weekday. The staff greeted us warmly, the place was clean and organized just like I remembered, and yes, they have high chairs for the little ones. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. Usually with AYCE, there's at least one or two dishes that make you think, "Yep, I'm going back for this." Here, nothing really stood out as delicious. They have some interesting creations, including sushi made with pesto rice, and many rolls have a Western-fusion twist. Creative? Definitely. Delicious? Not quite there for me. The hot food was okay, although some of the fried items were aggressively salty. I thought, "Let me cleanse my palate with some warm miso soup." NOPE. That was salty too. The bulgogi and kalbi were also noticeably on the sweeter side. The Korean-style wings had soggy skin. Then came the raw oyster. It did not taste fresh at all. I took half a bite, swallowed some, and immediately knew something was wrong. I had to spit out the rest. The unfreshness hit me faster than a New Yorker rushing for the subway. I spent the next hour praying I wouldn't get KO'd in the bathroom. Unfortunately, prayer was not answered. And this was my first meal of the day, so I'm pretty confident it wasn't anything else I ate beforehand. We tried to end lunch on a sweet note with the strawberry ice cream. Sadly, it tasted very artificial. At this point, I was just looking for something, ANYTHING, to redeem the meal. And the winner of the day was... The GREEN TEA in a tea bag. Seriously. That was the thing I genuinely enjoyed the most. I really wanted to love this revisit, but between the underwhelming food and the oyster experience that sent me on an unexpected bathroom adventure, I'm giving Mizumi 2 stars. Maybe it was just an off day, but I'm not sure my stomach is brave enough for a sequel.

They offer DIY hibachi, selection of sushi and the general fusion American, Chinese, & Spanish dishes. Some of the solid dishes here are the hibachi grill section, calamari, sauteed black bean clams, fried green beans, teriyaki chicken, garlic bread, lemon pickled chicken feet, sauteed veggies, and the cheesy creamed spinach. You pay first and then hand your receipt to the 2nd front desk person who will take you to your table. You ideally would leave tip at the end of service there. Hot/iced water is free, and purchased drinks are unlimited. The buffet is in a strip mall with a dollar tree, discount store of amazon returns (go go mart), pure gym (what used to be blink), and some other stores. It is a tad far from queens but a cheaper buffet than other buffets. This is more about value than quality. Worth a try for quantity!

The only thing that bothered me was how sticky everything was... the tables, the bathroom was sticky and dirty... For the price, the experience is decent. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

The marinades ran far too sweet for my likely so I ended up preferring the plain chicken and also didn't think the marinades were spicy enough. The spicy tofu soup was a great side option to have. The banchan were also all slightly too sweet for me, the soybean sprouts were my favorite mainly because they were not overly sweetened. The radish, daikon, and kimchi were all way too sweet and really tolerable for a couple bites. Also tried the grilled vegetables and bibimbap bowl for some additional veggies and rice. The service is quite good and their staff will help grill and check in on your food so you can focus on eating. The music here is a tad loud but you can still have a conversation. Per person cost was nearly $50 so it exceeded $60 per person with tip. Would only recommend if you can tolerate sweet marinades and can get your money's worth for that base cost.

All good, ordered the basics - fries, onions rings, shrimp fish and oysters. Thought I would throw in lobster rolls (which were mini) because why not. And then the main meal we came for, seafood boil. Paid extra for lobster, which we all know is mostly shell and little meat. They packed the boils with sausage barely any potato but still we had leftovers. Nothing out of the ordinary...like any other meal you order apps & a main course. That is it.

No second appetizers or meals ordered...no extra drinks. Paid for the xtras that wasn't included and then you want to charge $15/ lb to pack leftovers (in a ziplock bag no less) for the meal we paid for???? Absolutely NOT. I wanted to get a desert and sing my child Happy Birthday but instead was met with an unreasonable policy that didn't apply to our order. DONT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE!!! I understand that people may abuse the AYCE concept, but how does a restaurant justify throwing away food when they claim their policy is to minimize food waste!?!?!?! So I argued but I was exhausted by the baseless policy and agreed to a $10 charge. For a $350 bill, that $10 charge will keep me away from this restaurant chain forever. Ridiculous....they could have gotten additional $$$ from a drink, coffee and desserts. Instead they fought over $10 because the of a misleading policy.
