This plaza has a lot of parking but it can definitely get busy. The wait times can go up to 2+ hours and I recommend putting your name down on the waitlist early. The staff is friendly and the service is good. They give complimentary wine while you wait. The interior was spacious and modern. They have a variety of food here such as sushi, raw & cooked seafood, Malatang, and cooked meats. I liked the seafood such as the oysters and the crab legs the best. The cooked meats they had were decent and the Malatang was okay. I wish there were sauces specifically for the cooked meats and for the Malatang. Their kiwi lemonade was sweet and enjoyable. You can get ice cream for dessert. Definitely would come here again, but not sure if I would wait that long.

Pretty good experience at Supreme Crab AYCE in downtown San Jose during their soft opening! The food was fresh and tasty, and I thought the price was fair for what we got. Each piece of sushi comes on its own plate, so we ended up with quite a collection of plates on our table! Service was good, too, which made leaving an 18% tip an easy decision. The line can get long, so if you really want to make the first seating, I'd suggest arriving about an hour before opening, at least until the initial hype settles down. Overall, a great soft opening experience, and I'd be happy to come back!

The restaurant opened just 2 weeks ago. It's still doing soft opening. There's a sign outside that if waiting list is longer than 3 hours they would close the waiting list. Reopen after. The decor inside is pretty and new. Lots of table. Lots of parking outside. Lots of staff. There's alcohol available on the menu. Food quality is ok. There's dim sum available in small steamers. You have to get the whole small steamers with you. There were only lava custard bao, chicken feet and steamed spare rib available. Soup noodle - pick your own ingredient, noodle, veggie, meat, mushroom. 4 kind of soup to choose: creaky milk, tom yum, miso and mala. The mala one seems to be the most popular. Cold seafood. The shrimp was pretty big decent size. I didn't see oyster. No crab. There's Mac n cheese, spaghetti, sushi and sashimi. 4 kinds of soup. Fried rice. Fried food. For a place that's called supreme crab. I only saw 1 dish of crab. And that is Cajun style fried crab. Whole quail was available. My first time seeing at ayce. The pork rib and roast beef are decent in flavor and size. Complimentary ice cream at the end. Lunch price at weekdays was 29.99. The price is worth it. But I wouldn't wait for more than 45 min for this. Lucky we got there early. Door open at 12. We got here at 1130 and the line was already long.

Plaza is pretty crowded but parking is not hard, just park further out. Make sure you call to reserve, the yelp reservation has been down the last two weeks. Or else, expect to wait 1-3 hours. I saw many people who walked in get turned away. The staffs at the front need to invest in a digital checklist tablet as it's one person running around and trying to answer 7 people at once. Definitely understaffed, it took us an hour to get our hot tea. You can tell the staffs were sweaty and just overworked. (2026 prices), weekend is $45 all day, and weekdays is $45 for dinner and $30 for lunch. The beef tri tip and Wagyu beef ribs were horrid. It's not the typical American style where it's tender, juicy and medium rare. The beef is literally well done and extremely dry. The snow crabs are great, still has that natural salt. King crab are a pain in the butt to open as they only give you scissors to open the crab while king crab shells are a lot softer and do not crack as easy with the scissors. Oysters and other shellfish are great. Snails do have a funky smell to it but masked with garlic sauce. Sashimi is really decent, not the fatty cuts. Desserts are just boxed shipments of whatever is available, I first hand saw someone open a box of the cup custards and putting it out. Interior is very well decorated and clean. Bar area is great. Overall, for $45, it's not bad at all. You have to consider the costs of everything nowadays + the comfort of having everything there. Is the food amazing? No, ifs a buffet. It's never going to be amazing food. You're eating there to save money and fill up. I would definitely do the lunch menu instead because the beef itself is horrid and you will have a better appreciation for the other restaurants that take time to smoke their meat correctly.

We have only a handful of Buffet restaurants around here and most of them aren't that good I randomly saw a clip of this place from TikTok with Yelp and came here directly at 12pm TUES 30 minute wait, they use Yelp waitlist and as of my visit, they said they are prioritizing those who actually come in person first which may explain the huge lines and long waitlist 33$ for Lunch Visit This joint is one of the better quality places. It's not generic or MID food options, it's verified higher quality foods which do taste great I don't mind the funny strategy of putting one Sushi piece per tiny plate? It just means you are more mindful of how much you eat If you considering coming here, you are recommended to show up 30 minutes early for lunch or even almost an hour early for dinner slots The staff aren't prepared to fully handle the massive crowds as people who approach from the left side of the entrance just go inside the place So just be aware the establishment is still developing Worth visiting? Sure even if it's just once, this specific Buffet restaurant does feel like you are getting every worth of your money spent

Saw this place had opened on an instagram reel and made immediate plans to drive to San Jose to try it! Ate here and definitely had no regrets!! When we were about 15 minutes away, I signed up on the Yelp waitlist and we got seated right away once we arrived! They even gave us a free glass of champagne as we got seated! (This would be about 5pm on a Monday) Now to talk about the food, there is definitely a focus on seafood. There is a hot seafood section, cold seafood section, and a sushi area. In terms of other foods, they also have a fried food section, dim sum area, hot pot area, meat carving station, kimchi/side section, and a nice fruit area. My faves were definitely the pork belly along with the Cajun crab legs! Definitely try those! The only thing I wish they had was butter for the crab legs (unless I just couldn't find it ) In terms of service, everyone was very nice right from when we got seated! They definitely looked busy but there was always someone to check that we didn't need more water or if there were plates to be taken away. They even gave us gloves to use for our crab! Can't ask for more than that!! Parking is also very easy. In a plaza with sprouts and Trader Joe's! I think if this place was closer, I would definitely come again! It was $45 for dinner so definitely worth if you're into seafood!

Supreme Crab has taken over the old Sweet Tomatoes location. Parking is widely available. Lunch pricing is $30 and dinner is $45. The wait time was reasonable during lunch hour (20-30 minutes). It is all you can eat and there's a huge food selection. They did not have crab legs during lunch. There's a variety of food here: Soup, sushi, hot pot, bbq, seafood, seafood boil, assorted appetizers and dessert. You get to load up a plate and head back to your assigned table. Lots of ingredients for the hot pot creation area. You hand the bowl off and pick a soup. You receive your bowl once staff finish boiling your ingredients. Barbeque area had plenty of meats, sausage, and more. Sushi includes 4-6 kinds of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Soup station had 4 kinds of soup. Pasta, dim sum, and various carbs were in one area. Dessert was mostly all small cake slices. Table cleaning/clearing took some time so we had to sit with our finished plates for a bit. Staff also took some time to take our drink order. Some bowls still had small pieces of food and/or leftover water staining in the hot pot creation area. The restaurant staff was overly busy in restocking food and keeping the general floor clean. I foresee us coming back in the future for the quality and variety! Loved the experience and have been waiting months for this place to open. So glad it is finally here!

This place opened a couple of days ago, reading about this through a friend's Instagram account. This place reminds me so much of those AYCE buffets in Las Vegas. But just like those LV buffets, when you dine is just as important as what they serve. (That being said, since today was a holiday, they opened in the morning). As such, some of the desserts were a bit dry, and some of the meats were either too dry or too rare ("The meat was still mooing" as the colloquialism goes . . . ). What is not similar, however, is the price! In LV expect to pay $80-$90 per person. But here? $45 per person! What a bargain for an All-You-Can-Eat buffet! Overall, I was really impressed with the restaurant's decor - it really makes the dining experience relaxing! The pasta were hot and tasty (Try the pineapple rice, actually served in a hollowed-out pineapple!), the seafood exquisite! (On the cold bar you could find cold crab legs, but in the cooked seafood area were hot Cajun crab legs! Yum!), the fruit fresh, the salads well-varied (something for everyone), the soups hot and tasty, Oh, I forgot to mention that if you choose the crab legs or Cajun crab legs, the staff will get you lots of needed napkins, a pair of scissors and even a shell cracker! Service s excellent, btw. I would definitely visit this place again when I get really hungry. And maybe get here at opening when everything is fresh.

Supreme Crab AYCE Review Pros Service: Excellent and attentive service. Food: Very fresh, with a wide variety of choices. There's something for everyone! Decor: Modern, beautiful, new, and clean. The restaurant has a pleasant dining atmosphere. Price: Reasonable for an all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant. Parking: Plenty of parking spaces available. Cons Wait Time: The wait can be very long, especially during busy hours. Dumpster Odor: Unfortunately, the two dumpsters outside the restaurant do not have lids, creating an unpleasant smell for guests waiting in line. Suggestions for the Restaurant Manager Please keep lids on the dumpsters to help contain odors and maintain a more pleasant environment for guests. Please direct guests to line up on the right side of the restaurant, away from the dumpsters, to make the waiting experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

Came here for lunch. Unfortunately, NO CRAB SERVED AT LUNCH TIME. Just a heads up. So I just had a lot of mussels and crawdads. AYCE so we took two hours to plate up, wash hands, plate up, etc... we got in line before they opened, yapped the whole time before we got to put our name down. For 2 people, we maybe waited 10 min before they called our name. Don't leave! They will give away your table almost immediately (they told us they were going to only after 3min of getting a yelp notification that our table was ready and we RAN). Sashimi, nigiri and sushi options were great. There was a little soup bar. Cajun flavored items. Plain items. Salad items. For $30 pp for lunch, we thought it was a good deal. No pork buns available that day. Not everything was super great, like the corn on the cob seemed overcooked. Clean dining area and modern decor. Lots of space, didn't feel crowded. The bathroom was pretty messy. Both soap dispensers were out of soap or broken. One tiny paper towel dispenser that was empty - had to bring extra napkins in for hand drying. Only one sink worked out of the two. If I were to return, I'd come back for CRAB at dinner time.

Just tried this new buffet and 10/10 recommend!!!There's a good variety here from seafood,sushi,dim sum, etc. I love that there's even a malatang bar as I LOVE MALATANG. My favorite dish was definitely the crawfish, but all the seafood was supa fresh and tasty. I also really enjoyed my peach lemonade teehee. Shoutout my server Lucy, she was saurrr sweet and attentive :) Be warned the wait can take quite a while(1-3 hrs) as there's a lot of hype surrounding this newly opened place, but it lives up to the hype. For 45$ you really can't complain lolll. 1 MILLION BIG BOOMS!!!

Rating: more of a 2.5, but I'll give it a 3 considering the restaurant is in their soft opening era. Overall, food was just ok--just a bit elevated than your traditional Asian AYCE buffets. I mostly filled my plate up with snow crab legs and clams. I tried their beef selections and nothing to go crazy for as most cuts weren't as tender considering it being "Wagyu" and a bit tough to chew. If anything, I did like the sausage though. As for the sushi, the salmon nigiri was ok. Other food items are kind of afterthoughts. They do refill dishes in a timely manner and plates are cleared from your table efficiently. Since it's still their soft opening it is very packed--do make reservations and keep calling their phone lines as eventually someone will pick up! Call the number on their website not on yelp and speak to an actual person not AI. The reservations on yelp doesn't mean you have reservations--be sure to speak to an actual person. The decor and vibes is like Seapot and Sea Wagyu (so I'm assuming they're all correlated and sister restaurants). However, Seapot is still my favorite! Overall, there are definitely better places for quality meats and seafood. I'm not in a rush to try this place again, but wouldn't mind in the future in hopes of improvements.

Since it is just opening, it is super busy even on weekday on Monday. We came here at 11:50AM and there was a line with 15 people in front of me already. Once the door is open, you are to put your name and the party size on the waitlist. We waited about 10 minutes to get seated. It was lunch times so there are not a lot of option compared to dinner times but I think it is okay. Dinner time you will have snow crab, fresh oysters and more sushi option. The crawfish's was good but it always run out once it on the counter therefore we have d to wait for it. The sushi option was less as we also have to waited for the sashimi on the counter. They should prepare sushi ahead of time. It is a buffet but you have to wait for the foods to come out which is not a great feeling. There is a Malatang station where you choose your meat and veggies option for your soup base, I felt it is okay. The grill corn was good, the crawfish mixture was okay. I felt everything was okay and not worth the wait on the weekend at all.

Ask the Community - Supreme Crab AYCE

Is this business toddler-friendly? Are there high chairs? Are kids under 3ft subjected to the 30% off or are they free? Toddlers ages 1-3 barely eat, asking to confirm prices.

Yeah, under 4ft too I'm not sure probably just under 3ft.

Do they accept reservations?

I don't think so? But you can join their Yelp waitlist which helps but I went before opening so I didn't wait for more than 20 min

Do they offer free birthday?

That I do not know. So sorry.

Are drinks included in the price?

No they're all separate.

Is the full menu available for lunch? What are lunch hours?

Is this location open?

Yes!

I don't remember much about the place so I got no positive or negative experiences I can compare to this visit. I have been to many similar buffets all over Northern California so my expectations are not too high here. My first attack was the sushi bar. Very good sushi selection for lunch. Comparable Tomi and World Gourmet Buffet in Fremont. No complaints. Made my way to the hot foods. Some familiar and some different items. First time seeing curry beef. The stir fry rice noodle they had was bland so I put the curry over it. It was good, I got a second helping. They had a pork ribs soup with either wintermelon or radish, couldn't tell what it was but it gave the soup some sweetness to it. If you're Asian you might have had it at home. It is light and soothing. Different than the usual hot and sour soup which they had but I skipped. Those were the two items I wanted to talk about in my review as no other Asian buffet had these. There are other typical items, aren't much different from other places so I'll keep this short. Must finish your meal with soft serve ice cream! It's comparable to McDonald's just doesn't have the strong vanilla flavor McDonald's has. I got a second cone for the road. I will come back one more time with my dad as he loves buffet like I do.

This place was ok, there was not a lot of food options. Their dessert selection seemed bigger than…read morethe rest. Maybe avoid the cook oysters, my brother and I both had one and got sick from it. My mother ate the same food except the oysters and she was fine. The one thing I liked was that food stayed decently warm. Service was nice
