    Rasta pasta, Spanish rice, curried goat,  oxtails, shrimp veggies. This is a Jamaican buffet so you can put whatever you want in your dish.

    Here we go; I found this buffet by accident. There are several places I go to within the area and just so happen saw their sign and figured I would check this place out. It's in a small strip mall right across the street from a gas station. Well, I love the fact the owners and workers are very clean. They make you wash your hands and put on gloves before you fix your food. I love the wide variety of Caribbean dishes that are available. You have a great selection of meats from ox tails to chicken, fish, goat, shrimp, etc. Even beef patties of all flavors. You have multiple choices. As for prices, because it is priced by weight per pound it can be a bit pricey. Overall this is a great place to come to if you like Jamaican food.

    My absolute favorite place in the area for Jamaican food. It's a buffet so you can get as much or as little as you want and you pay by weight which can get very dangerous lol. I typically get chicken, baked macaroni, cabbage and sweet plantains. My favorite thing about this place is that they don't over salt their food. I HATE when restaurants try to kill you with sodium as if their meal is your last meal. I used to come here frequently when i worked in the area now i go during the weekend if I'm around. The person at the register is always really nice and helpful especially if it's your first time there. They also have patties at the register and fruit and vegetable juices that are really tasty. Parking can be tricky but i try to park on the next street over and just walk over to make it easier to get out. There are a few other stores in their center which causes their few spots to fill up quickly. Definitely recommend for people who love Jamaican food but don't want to consume too much salt.

    Where do I even begin! Ashlee's Jamaican Buffet is literally my top 5 Favorite place to go to... if you are looking for authentic Jamaican food and you are located anywhere near Uniondale... This is the place to go! I really have nothing negative to say about this place. The food is ridiculously delicious. My favorite is the rice and peas, their delicious oxtails, jerk chicken wings, mac & cheese, and their barbecue chicken. Also, can't go wrong with a Jamaican soda! This is a buffet style restaurant, you come in and grab your plate and serve yourself as you'd like. Honestly, the possibilities are endless. The price of your plate depends on its weight, so keep that in mind... The heavier your plate is, the more expensive, but it's all worth it! One thing I really admire about this place, is how serious they took precautions during the height of the pandemic, and even still: When you come in, they urge you to use hand sanitizer, then you are provided with gloves, before grabbing your plate. They encourage customers to not speak over the food and they require masks. I've been to this restaurant countless amount of times during the last 5 years, and it will forever remain one of my favorite go-to's.

    Porgy, callaloo and ackee and salt fish.

    I come here quite often. It's a buffet style restaurant which has many options. The food is fresh and tasty. They could use more vegetarian options.. Ie soup but worth a shot.

    Jamaican food- buffet style! What more could you ask for?? This place opened up a couple of months ago. I've already been here about three times! When I first went here, it was late at night. I was driving around looking for some Carribean food around 10pm on a Sunday and this place caught my eye since it was still open! The staff was very friendly and I was amazed at the amount of food they had! They had many options to choose from like fish,oxtail,plantains, jerk chicken, bbq chicken, rasta pasta...the list goes on! The price the food by weight so atleast you can pick and choose the best parts =) I know this place will get popular since they offer great customer service and great food!

It was my 1st time there but it won't be my last! I went for dinner but next time, I want to go there for lunch.

I will preface this by saying I consider K-city a 5/5 for Long Island - probably a 4/5 if K-city was in Queens tbh. If i was in the Nassau area I default to K-city vs. Kpot! I mainly go to K-city for the hotpot vs. the kbbq/hot food selection. The bbq is okay but the grill itself is pretty small. The prepared food selection is also okay, includes both hot food & sushi but I mainly consider it as food to eat while my hotpot is getting ready (lol). The broths are very legit with the variety offered being spicy (mala with the Szechuan peppercorns), mushroom, pork bone, herbal ( I believe is a mix of pork & chicken + herbs), tomato and mushroom. My favorite thus far have been the spicy & herbal! I appreciate that the meats are also included in the buffet section as well so I can control the quantity as opposed to some other hotpot/bbq places where the meats come pre-portioned. I think the main drawback of K-City as opposed to Spring Shabu (my personal 2nd favorite choice in nassau) is definitely the veggie selection & quality. Having said that, the veggie selection is okay and has the main things I get like the enoki mushrooms, napa cabbage, broccoli and noodles.

The hot buffet line was ok, and the sushi was alright. There was nothing spectacular but at the same time the food wasnt bad. I would have normally rated this probably a 3 star. Why a 2 star? Because the money items, the salmon sashimi and oysters took forever to be refilled. I had to ask the staff when they bothered to look my direction. Other buffets constantly stock their food, this one didn't. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Let's just say we came hungry... We arrived during the weekday lunch and were greeted and seated almost immediately. One thing I really appreciated was that the background music wasn't blasting. We could actually hear each other without shouting across the table, which made the meal so much more enjoyable. I immediately ordered our usual Lunch B, and if you're wondering what to get, here's my recommendation: Thick-cut pork belly Thin-sliced pork belly Thin-sliced beef brisket And our absolute favorite... the beef intestine! If you've never tried the beef intestine, don't knock it till you've tried it. It's incredible! I love that they cook everything on cast iron because it gives the meat an amazing sear. Even better, the staff cooks everything for you, and they absolutely know what they're doing. The thick-cut pork belly paired perfectly with the kimchi. The thin slices weren't cooked until they were completely crispy. Instead, they left parts beautifully browned while keeping the rest tender and juicy. You get the best of both worlds with every bite! We also ordered the bean paste soup, beef soup, and bibimbap on the side. My parents can be pretty picky, especially when food is overly salty, so I was pleasantly surprised when they both commented on how well-balanced the flavors were. Everything was seasoned just right! The staff rotated between cooking and serving, and every single person provided excellent service. Two moments really stood out. The first is during our second round of ordering, I ordered the spicy pork ribs along with a few other meats. The ribs arrived on a portable trolley next to our table, but by then our daughter was getting tired and we knew we'd have to leave soon. I asked one of the staff if it would be possible to return the uncooked spicy pork ribs because we wouldn't have time to eat them. I was also a little worried about being charged for them. The staff kindly checked for me and came back with a friendly, "Okay!" I was so relieved and really appreciated how accommodating they were! Then came the second moment that completely won me over. After my wife handed over the payment, one of the staff came back to let her know that gratuity had already been included and that she was accidentally tipping twice. That level of honesty and integrity deserves recognition! From my experience, not every restaurant would take the time to point that out! To the entire staff working on July 10, 2026, around 12:00 PM, thank you for treating your customers with genuine hospitality, kindness, and honesty! You all deserve a raise! Excellent food, outstanding service, honest staff, and a relaxing atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

There is a fairly large dining area if you choose to dine in, allowing you to take full advantage of the buffet at an additional price.

I can't say much about the staff, except for the lady at the cashier. As we waited for our turn to check out, I noticed she seemed to know almost everyone who walked up to the counter and greeted them with a smile and a bit of small talk.

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. We came on a random weekday and I was surprised how busy this place was. We were a slightly large group so it did take a minute for them to put some tables together. 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 unfortunately had to spit things out with 3 different items I tried. Two were unable to be chewed. One was a spicy beef, I could not bite into the meat or cut it. The second calamari, rubber and hard, just don't. The last was a cake a nepolian I belive and it was stale and the cream was oddly solid. There was some decent food but nothing to write home about. The service isn't bad, but it was definitely awkward. The staff is attentive, but they will stand over you and speak to each other in their native language as if you are not there. I would say avoid this place.

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.
