    Left is the left over of my half adult sized drink, right side is the kid cup
    Susanna D.

    If there is 0 star I would definitely do it! Very disappointing experience. We ordered apple juice and were given a small "kids" cup but charged the same price as an adult drink. No one mentioned that refills were not included. When I asked about the pricing, both the staff and manager insisted the small cup was the same size as the adult cup, which is clearly not true (see photo). I even poured about half of the drink from the adult cup into the kids' cup in front of them, and it didn't even fill it. The issue is not the price itself, but the lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude. This felt misleading and unprofessional. I would not return.

    Wide array of items, with the beef rib and sashimi/sushi selections standing out. Chocolate fondue fountain machine was a nice coda to the meal.

    This place is beyond delicious. This is the best buffet on Long Island seriously lots of options for adults and kids. For either food or desserts and even drinks. Service is quick and good!!! All the food is delicious. Spot is clean.

    Always come here for family events. It's a reliable spot with good food and service. Assortment is great with much more emphasis on Chinese foods. During holidays they change their items but we came for weekend lunch so this is their usual assortment.

    Came back yesterday with my family and again disappointing. The whole place stinks. Dirty diapers? Farts? The place was packed, we waited about 15 minutes for a party of 15 and they put us in the small party room where it was stuffy. The food was gone so fast so we had to wait a bit for new ones to come out.

    Amazing place. I brought my friend with me this time. Last time I went alone and it was a Sunday night. I paid roughly under $50 after tips and tax for myself. To be honest, with the quality of food they offered, it was totally worth it. But I went this time during lunch time on a weekday. For the 2 of us, it came to the same price, roughly $50. So it was basically $25 for the each of us. It was an amazing meal with all the same sushi and cooked food. They didn't have the sashimi but to be honest I thought I had everything I wanted there at lunch. There's soft serve ice creams and all sorts of seafood. I'm going to bring more friends over next time. My friend said this buffet was his best part of the day.

    This place has been around since forever but I'm just discovering it now. From the outdated exterior and interior, I definitely didn't expect too much but I have to say I was very surprised. They squeezed so much into all their limited space and it's shocking how much variety they have. They have rows and rows of endless seafood and meat options. They are absolutely packed on the weekends and the staff was very quick with replenishing the trays. The food is delicious and the sushi was very fresh. I was surprised to see they even have abalone and uni. Their crepe station was a highlight for me as well. I do think that their service needs a little work though as our plates were not cleared out from our table so we began collecting a pile at some point.

    Went for the lunch buffet which was $20 per person and you get 50% off if it's your birthday. Food was mediocre and was more like a quick meal and you go about your way. Some of the sushi wasn't fresh, almost like spoiled especially the mackerel. The sushi rice wasn't fresh either. Very little seafood options and desserts. Had the lobster bisque soup which tasted weird and not fresh. The place itself was old but a honey feel. Service was good but go somewhere else for the food.

    Some food for thought from the County of Nassau.

    I really wanted to like this place, but after giving it two tries, I had to write something. As you walk in, this buffet reminds you of the year 2001. It feels like someone built this thing that year, and absolutely nothing has changed except the price kept going up. That's the entire ambiance in a nutshell. At this current price point, you really are not getting the value that you might think, on initial inspection, that you are getting. This entire restaurant smells of cleaning agent that smells like someone has been trying to mask some kind of odor. . Service is nearly non-existent, but they just charge you a fee for tip within your check anyway, because apparently, tips are no longer discretionary, but the same percentage is required for every patron. There's apparently a person guarding the desserts, yelling at children for no apparent reason. Some might actually deserve to be chastised, but most do not. I had to say something when a person accused my kid of taking excessive marshmallows in a case of apparent mistaken identity. What the actual *expletive deleted* ? I'm glad there are better eateries in this area at a similar price point. Maybe I'm old. Quality over quantity, please.

    Amazing options to choose from Very tasty food! From everything I ate, it's all good Service is also quick and professional. Restaurant is kept clean as best as possible at all times without sacrificing service I was only able to capture a portion of what's available in my pictures, but there's so much more. Chocolate fountain, matcha ice cream, vanilla ice cream, grilled food, etc

    seafood boil

    DJ International Buffet is hands down my favorite buffet ever, and our Thanksgiving visit just confirmed it. Yes, it was a bit more expensive for the holiday, but the special spread was absolutely worth it. This isn't your typical Chinese buffet, the "International" name is earned. They have wide variet, from premium staples to unique finds. My standouts were the flavorful kalbi short ribs, the steamed flounder, the extensive sushi selection, the "stone something" crab, and the seafood Cajun boil. They even had five soups, including a Chinese herbal kind! For picky eaters or adventurers, there's truly something for everyone. The selection is mind-blowing. You can go for luxury items like crab legs, lamb skewers, oysters, clams, and snails, or stick with classics. I love that they offer both raw and cooked seafood. I skip the filler noodles and go straight for the good stuff. This is the place to try new things like escargot! I have to mention the dessert station, too. They had a chocolate fountain, a good spread of cakes and pastries, and a self-serve ice cream machine with vanilla and green tea flavors. I even saw them making fresh crepes! I was too full to try any myself, but my family said the desserts were great. Despite being PACKED on a holiday, seating was plentiful. The service was impressively attentive; staff cleared plates promptly and even refilled our sodas (which, FYI, are not included in the buffet price). If you love buffets, you MUST check this spot out. I can't wait to return for their weekday lunch ($19.99!), which is an insane deal for this quality and variety.

    Our first time there my daughter treated me lunch for Mother's Day and what a treat. The wait staff was very attentive all were friendly. The food omg!! Tons of food all were very tasty and they kept the trays filled at all times. I hear for dinner they have more of a variety including lobster and crab legs but what they had for lunch was enough and delicious . The restaurant was Very clean . We will definitely go back and maybe for dinner next time

    Now honestly, this is a pretty good freaking buffet. Now I do wish I came here a bit more hungry but I did get to try a bunch of different things. The service is pretty good, they clean plates very quickly and are good at refilling the drinks. The ambience is that of any other buffet. I had their ribs which were the star of the show. Their ribs were freaking amazing. Their sushi? Was so fresh and absolutely delicious. Grilled lamb, and steak skewer were outstanding. The sole chicken wing I had was delicious. Some of the seafood options were a bit salty and a bit chewy. They have a variety of options. I wish I got to try more. They even have a station to grill you steak fresh. I want to come back here, this time I'm gonna make sure I don't eat for at least 2 days. I'm posting a bunch of pics of things I ate. My fav things tho by far were the sushi and ribs, once again I didn't get to try everything but it's definitely worth it. Oh their oxtail is great too! I'd love to see an addition of more sauces or like a section for more sauces. But other than that, very good choice.

    Another wonderful meal tonight at one of our favorite Long Island spots--we've been coming here…read moreregularly since last year, and it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the entire team is welcoming and warm, but Tiffany truly stands out. She is gracious, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful--someone who remembers you and makes you feel like more than just a table. Tonight, when things slowed down a bit, we had the chance to catch up and share a few laughs, which made the evening feel even more special. As for the food, it was just as impressive. I had the twin lobster with ginger and scallion over E-Fu noodles--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. My husband ordered his usual--eggs with mixed vegetables--which isn't on the menu, but they always accommodate when possible. He thoroughly enjoyed it, as he always does. Fresh, delicious food paired with standout, heartfelt service is exactly why we keep coming back. This place has truly become one of our regular favorites.

    Dimsum place out in Long island. It looks like a diner from the outside, and inside. There is the…read morediner countertop. The good thing about this place id that there are parking spaces. Dimsum is adequate. Not as good as the dimsum place in Flushing, but not horrible. The taro crescent is good. Raddish cake is also good along with the young chow fried rice. The soy sauce in the rice roll is a bit too sweet. Shrimp in the shrimp dumpling lacks flavor. Overall, I will come here if I live around here.
