    For Carlsbad/Oceanside, this is a solid family spot for a Asian/Chinese seafood buffet. It's not…read morecheap (low 30's before tax/tip) but if you can eat a lot or if you value the diversity of options then it's great. I personally was okay after eating a lot of the stuff, but I would still be a little cautious about the raw oysters and some of the other stuff. Sushi was fine when I had it but I have a pretty strong stomach. They have some more "premium" options like crab and sashi/sushi so I was genuinely surprised. A lot of the food I thought was pretty tasty and decent all things considered. I personally wouldn't care too much about coming back by myself but when I visit my parents, if they wanna come here I'd be happier. Service was decent and they do a great job at taking the plates off your table and stuff. Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Value: 6/10

    I've been to this buffet a few times while visiting The Shoppes at Carlsbad. Occupying the former…read moreSouplantation building, the restaurant offers a consistent weekend price for both lunch and dinner. On weekends, they feature a premium all day menu that includes all you can eat crab legs. Between the cold and warm crab leg options, I found the warm ones to be superior as they're less salty and much more flavorful. The buffet offers a solid variety of Asian fusion staples, such as fried rice, orange chicken, and honey shrimp, alongside a surprising selection of sushi and decent sashimi. My personal favorites were obviously the crab legs, stir fried whole mushrooms, clams, string beans, and the scallops with vermicelli served in the shell. The service is quite attentive; the staff is quick with drink refills and clears finished plates promptly. They also provide practical extras like crab crackers and disposable gloves. While the dining area is spacious and relaxed, I would suggest skipping the dessert section, as those offerings were not appetizing. Overall, it is a reasonably priced spot for a wide variety of food in a comfortable environment. A solid 3.5 stars.
