The venue is new and trendy upscale. The food during lunch was mediocre as compared to other buffets in the area. The selection was definitely geared toward American Chinese food, however, I observed a good many Asian patrons. The best part was the Beef soup and Seafood soups. The ingredients were spot on and the flavor was excellent; however, a bit too much starch thickener. read more

I'm downloading yelp just to leave a bad review. I really don't know anything good to say about this place. The food is not good at all, most likely unsanitary, and unseasoned. I genuinely have nothing to say I'm just so disappointed in whatever that experience was. The servers were nice but it didn't make up for how sad I was at that table. Everything was so cheap as well which I assume the food is. Please don't go if you want seafood go somewhere else. read more

Experience felt low quality. Seats look cheap, decor looks cheap, and food especially tastes cheap. Too large of a food selection. Seafood is served on ice, is slimy, and has after taste. Desert looks store bought. read more

D1 Seafood Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

Good food, good atmosphere. I came with my family and the service was friendly. There was a wide variety of seafood options.

Honestly, one of the better buffets in the Gaithersburg/germantown area. Food is of okay quality. And the restaurant is very pretty!

Great food and service!! I highly recommend this place :) the sea food are very fresh and the place is really cute

Food was okay. Sushi didn't look fresh. The fried food made us feel sick. The fruit was great lol! Probably won't come back here again unfortunately read more

We tried this restaurant about 1 month ago. Browsed the buffet before paying to determine if it was worthy. Many of the food trays were empty or dried up & crusty. It looked terrible. We left & went elsewhere. Today we decided to give it another shot. Parking lot empty. Doors chained up & locked. Dark. No signage. Anyone know? read more

We came on Sunday to have unlimited lobsters and snow crab and others. The crab was good, not a lot, but enough to eat. The lobster is limited (definitely not unlimited). It seems they cook some lobster (once every hour). The fried flour coaster lobster tasted good, but ran out within 3 minutes. We were able to get a plate, then the cook said the lobster ran out from stock. The fruits section has very little fruits (they did not refill). Whatever fruits left looks old and stale. We were afraid to eat. The simple cake desert section looks old. Some cheese cake was quite hard (new style of days old?). We don't think that we will come again. read more

Permanently closed as of May 8. Went there once and found quality and selection lacking for the price.

My husband and I just tried this place. Overall the food was delicious and we will definitely be back. There were plenty of options of cold, hot, fried, and none fried items, and it was worth the price. They had a nice variety of sushi and shashmi - all tasted fresh. The lobster was delicious. We both liked that they also had a variety of other Asian food items (stir fry, soups, appetizers, rice, and noodles) besides seafood. Two cons: the raw oysters weren't cleaned as well as I would have liked them. Too gritty for my taste. We came early, around 515p. Initially there wasn't an issue in going up to the buffet, but as it got more crowded it was a bit chaotic. People were weaving in and out of sections of the buffet to grab select items, but there was no order or consistency with it. I recommend that they set an entrance and exit area, or one way line, for the buffet. read more

Had a great time at D1! The food was fresh, and the service was excellent. Perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. read more

D1 Seafood Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

What a terrific treat! A ton of different choices and everything we ate was hot and tasted great. Food ranged from different types of sushi to seafood to Chinese with a bit of traditional American food for those who are less adventurous. Dessert was also several choices and fresh fruit. (I loved the soft serve ice cream) Everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and attentive and the manager was just lovely. They even offer a discount if you pay cash. We will definitely be returning! read more

Went on Mon 3/31/25 at 7:45pm and they were closed. Not sure what's going on...food isn't great anyhow, but what's going on here?

My entire family of 15 enjoy the food and many selections. The service was was great alsp

Great, new place! Highly recommend. The service was excellent, food was fresh, delicious and a nice variety

Drove an hour to go there. Called yesterday to make sure crab legs and whole crabs on buffet and told yes. Guess what, no crab legs or whole crabs! But they had no issues charging $32.99 for a buffet without the crab. They did give me my money back and I left. read more

The food was HORRIBLE! Very dry, and appeared to be old. The rice was hard on the sushi and the entree. The noodles were old and sticky and dry. The seafood was dry. The claws were really dry and couldn't get it out of its shell, the shrimp cocktail were ok. The mussels and clams were really dry, the oysters were also ok. The cocktail sauce had a weird taste. The servers and hostess were nice, but most didn't speak English. We sat down for dinner and left almost immediately. read more

The food was OK for a Buffet restaurant called D1 sea food, honestly they had almost no variety.

Very nice array of fresh seafood, sushi and some other Asian staples like spare ribs, egg rolls, dumplings and small egg tarts. There was plenty to choose from, although the seafood was not replaced often enough for the number of diners, they were constantly out of the oysters, crab legs and lobster. Still, what was available was tasty and the buffet is a good value. Servers did provide drinks as needed and kept our table cleared when needed, and the restaurant and buffet were clean. I would give an additional star if the seafood was replenished more often since it's so popular. read more

Not significantly different from other Chinese buffets, but the sushi section could benefit from offering more options.

Most of the time that we go for lunch they said that it's a holiday and they want to charge us the holiday price. Today is a "holiday" again even though it is Wednesday. They want to charge us 34.99 per adult for a buffet read more

The food was great and delicious and I love the cake but u need bit more opinions for ice cream

The interior decoration in this restaurant was immaculate and welcoming. The food came out fresh and fast. Would give this another try.

Really good food for the price! Very efficient service, clean and good selection. Do not let the outside fool you!.

The food and service was ok but the weekend said unlimited lobster. Well, that was a lie, because they told another customer there is none today (11/17/2024). There was no steam crabs either. The snow crab legs were small. read more

When I first got there the host was nice, place look nice,but the food was disgusting,first of all it's not all what u see in the pics some of the food is not even there and the one tht are is disgusting .0/10 never again read more

Dana was very friendly and polite with her service. She had a good attitude, and very helpful.

The restaurant was clean and the food areas were clean. Food itself was just OK, definitely not worth the hour drive we took. The crab legs were salty, cold and overcooked. The lobster was buried in something but bland and extremely overcooked. The ribs were chewy but very flavorful. The sushi i tried was good. ​ read more

5 star reviews were all bought by promising a free gift. This place is a Chinese buffet NOT a seafood buffet. Chinese food was food court quality, sushi was basically California rolls & cucumber rolls, very little variety that had actual sushi fish. Crab legs were small & light. MD crabs were light & meat was mushy, I'm pretty sure they weren't safe to eat. If you ask for a drink refill they only fill the cup 1/3 to 1/2 way, no idea what that's about. Don't get fooled by the promo video or 5 star reviews. There's literally a sign taped on the front counter saying you'll get a free gift if you leave a 5 star yelp review. read more

The ambiance and food was great!! Would definitely come back. Seafood American food, sushi ice cream

Fresh seafood, great. We like sushi, lobster, snow crab legs, and Service is big part for success, Best wish!

Food was very average and underpar. The set up to get food sucks because everyone lines up when you don't really need to, but you should because otherwise it would be rude, but you'll see people cut to go straight for the lobster. Also, the lobster was kinda gross, it's caked in batter and deep fried so it's filled with oil and I found it to be inedible. Some food were undercooked so definitely didn't eat the raw fish from the sushi area, plus the sushi was basically a rice ball. Most foods were lacking salt. Honestly, after a plate I already felt sick from their food. read more

Tried out the new buffett expecting something nice, while the interior was very nice and the service was okay the food was beyond disappointing. I guess you get what you pay for but you're better off spending $25 somewhere else. The seafood wasn't fresh, sushi had a weird taste and you could tell some of the food wasn't good just by looking at it. Even the garlic bread and sesame balls were old and stale. read more

We went on the Wednesday evening. The food was not fresh and sushi looked sketchy. Service was great but price was outrageous for the type of food they were serving. We wouldn't go back again. Not worth it read more

I came for a lunch on Sunday. The food quality is so so. compared with other sea food buffet in Rockville, the price is high. foods choices and quality is not as good as others. read more

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant out and the food was horrible! The lobster tasted fishy, I tried 3 muscles, they weren't bad, the shrimp was overcooked and mushy. The staff asked for a tip even though they only refunded 1 of the order so they charged my husband's credit card $29 even though neither of us ate the food. I will tell all of my friends and family to never eat at the restaurant because the food is awful!! I was there 5 min and then went to tell the cashier that I didn't like the food and she and another worker hid behind the register floor and didn't refund me the money. I will be disputing this transaction with our bank 'Navy Federal Credit Union" we will Never eat here again! read more

Do not eat here!! ? We were traveling and wanted seafood. We drove over an hour out of our way because of the great reviews his place got. When we arrived we were charged the extra money for the weekend crab legs but not informed there were no crab legs as stated on their menu for Friday and Saturday. When I could not find the crab legs and asked where they were I was told they were low on crab legs and they were saving them for the customers on Saturday. When I complained about it they offered to bring us crab legs. They were some of the smallest overcooked tasteless crab legs I've ever had. As far as calling yourself a seafood buffet I don't think that counts by serving crab legs on the weekends, fried fish and some shrimp. The rest of their food could be described as garbage at best. Most of it was not hot and was old. All the desserts were old and rock hard. Do yourself a favor and do not eat here!!!!! read more
