    On Saturday, April 4, 2026, we visited this establishment to celebrate my granddaughter's birthday. We did not inform the waitress of the special occasion, as my granddaughter expressed a preference for a quiet dining experience. Upon entering, we informed the staff of the number of guests in our party and were seated in a booth. We ordered our beverages and proceeded to select our food from the buffet. We arrived at 4:00 PM, the designated dinner hour, and found that the majority of the food was freshly prepared and had not yet been picked over. We plated our meals and returned to our table to enjoy our dining experience. As we were nearing the end of our meal, we requested the waitress's to bring our bill. While we were awaiting payment, I dispatched my granddaughter to retrieve change for a substantially larger bill. Upon her return, my mother presented the money to the waitress. The waitress engaged in a conversation with my mother, but I was unable to comprehend the content of her words. I requested that the waitress clarify her statement. She repeated, "The tip, not including." Confused by her response, I informed her that we intended to provide her with a tip and that my granddaughter had gone to obtain the change. The waitress left the area. My granddaughter returned with the change, but the waitress was nowhere to be found. I asked my granddaughter to locate her and deliver the tip directly to her. She successfully found her and, as we exited the establishment, she approached us to express her gratitude. I assured her that she was very welcome and that we would never leave without tipping.

    The price is really cheap and for a Chinese buffet, you can get some really good dishes. There is a lot of American dishes and some meh ones, but still, if you look through everything you can find some good picks. This place was also insanely crowded so you're most likely to wait to get a table, but once you do then you can get straight to it. A good bet is getting in line for the hibachi cooking station where you can select chicken, crab, shrimp, and steak along with noodles, rice, and veggies to be cooked on the hibachi grill. It's a bit of a slow process, because there is finite grill space, but the cook was able to do a lot at once. It's worth coming here even if it's a bit of a weight. The rest of the food is what you can expect. There's a lot of sushi options and your standard Chinese food fare like General Tso's. There's also pizza and French fries. For dessert there were good fresh fruit options. There were ice creams but scoop yourself which was hard because ice cream was so firm and this created a line because it took time. Service was good in that they took plates quickly but it was hard to get a drink refill. They were really busy. There aren't any fancy high end meals, but look at the prices. You can get a decent meal quickly if you come at the right time. Plenty of parking in the lot out front.

    When people read my prior reviews, they'll probably notice that I'm very critical of businesses. There's a reason for this, and I hope future reviewers understand and follow suit. My best friend and I were talking; he was planning to buy something--I can't remember what at this particular moment--but the first thing he did was read the good reviews. I told him that's the worst thing anyone can do because those reviews could be tainted by whoever wants their product or business to look good in the eyes of the consumer. Now, my story. I'll title this "I always feel like somebody's watching me." On this sunny Saturday evening, my companion, her family and I decided to drive to a buffet in New Jersey. Since we had a great time at one in Connecticut, so why not try our luck again? Upon entering, we were greeted by dark decor that made the place look more like a haunted house than a restaurant, and the pungent smell of seafood hit us like a tidal wave. I stayed away from their seafood because I don't have a strong stomach. Back in college, on the advice of my classmates, I had sushi, and it literally ruined my stomach. It took years of going to a gastroenterologist to have a normal stomach again, so I'm very cautious when it comes to seafood. We were greeted by the host, who had a waitress show us to a table with four chairs. We promptly asked for a booth because when people walk around, they bump into the back of your chair with a clumsy look of "I'm sorry." A booth would keep us cradled as if we were babies in our mother's arms. So, we walked to the other side of the restaurant and were greeted by who I'm going to call the "Watcher." The napkins and plastic forks (yes, plastic forks!) made me feel like I was at a family barbecue, but what sit-down restaurant gives you a plastic fork? The waitress' method of waitressing was absolutely unorthodox. As we were in the process of sitting down--I'm talking our butts were not even on the seats of the booth--she was asking us what type of drink we wanted. She scribbled the orders down and disappeared, only to return with the drinks in large 20-ounce coffee cups (paper). Hold up, plastic forks and paper coffee cups? Something tells me this restaurant is not environmentally friendly, or the dishwasher doesn't work on Saturdays. They literally stopped short of using paper plates; that would have really blown my mind. Back to our story... My first plate consisted of fried rice, sesame chicken, and fried dumplings. This is when I noticed the "Watcher" was literally standing behind our booth, listening to everything we spoke about. I don't know about you, but I really don't like people standing too close behind me, especially when I'm eating. It's CREEPY. The rice was okay, but I could tell it was from last night or maybe the night before. The sesame chicken was probably cooked today, but the fried dumplings were off. After years of working at Burger King as a teenager and recycling cooking oil each night until it was unusable, I could tell these dumplings were cooked in some very old oil. My stomach would give me hell just for looking at those fried dumplings. I took a drink of the "Sprite" the "Watcher" brought us, and there was something very off with this soda. I sipped some of it and was done. I got another plate of food and asked for a pink lemonade because my companion's mother was drinking it and didn't complain. Again, I got a cup of pink lemonade, and it, too, was off. This was it for me with the drinks. I slowly looked over my shoulder to see the "Watcher" still watching us. I could have asked for another drink, but I wasn't feeling it. This restaurant and that woman will never see me again. On top of it all, this creepy woman brought the check. When I went to pay her, I said, "Keep the change," which was probably two more dollars than the tax. She shook me down for more tip money. I'm a little lost. What did she do to deserve a huge tip? She creeped me and my party out just standing there. The food or either the drink left us very thirsty to a point where we stopped in the neighboring store Big Lots to buy drinks just to quench our thirst. When I got home I drank an additional 4 bottles of water. If you want unfresh food, a waitress to stand behind you while you eat, and to eat with plastic utensils and coffee cups in a sit-down restaurant, then this is your place. Consider this as a warning notice.

    Chinese buffets are a long-time guilty pleasure of mine, my brother's, and my dad's. Many of these sort of dining establishments permanently closed during the height of quarantine (and understandably so), including a childhood favorite: Old Town Buffet in East Brunswick. That place had the BEST mashed potatoes (most identifiable by its concerning lack of chunks) and honestly, this place's tasted exactly like it. The hole in my heart has finally been filled ... Definitely the most options I've ever witnessed a Chinese buffet offering. Much of what I tried was l alright; but, dear god, the macaroni & cheese (seen in the singular photo I've supplied) was offensively terrible and I'm no mac & cheese snob by any means.

    UPDATE: They raised their price effective April 1, 2019. They sent out lots of coupon offers from $2.00 to $4.00 off. But they require you to order drinks in order for them to process your coupons. Not a smart way for their customers to get a 'real discount'! It was written on the coupons in small text. Just to attract unsuspecting diners to come and dine with them. Sneaky, indeed! I'm taking out 1 Star from my updated rating. Trying to deceive their dining customers is wrong!

    My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I were in the mood for a…read morebougie sit-down dinner this past Saturday night and decided to try out Ocean Prime; we've had a few underwhelming dining experiences in Cranford, so we were hoping to break the streak. I'd say we were successful in that regard, and this is probably one of the top two places I've been now in town, along with Garlic Rose. Even if you didn't have access to the menu, this just LOOKS like an upper-class steakhouse - lots of darker interior colors with deliberate use of lighting almost like the aisles in a movie theater. We did the responsible thing and made 6:30pm reservations, though the restaurant was relatively empty when we first got there (it filled up for sure during our dinner). We were immediately seated and attended to, which was a pleasant recurring theme for our experience. On the booze front, we each got an Old Fashioned, which was specifically cited on the cocktail menu, and a bottle of Daou Cab Sauvignon to share (I let my chum take the lead on that selection, which I think was influenced by the strong reviews on the Vivino app - a recommend if you're into that sort of thing). The Old-Fashioned was decent; I'm always pleased when the de facto bourbon is Angel's Envy. I'm not crazy about vermouth, which I always think gives off shoe leather vibes, but I did like the smoky profile on this one. Not bad at all, but I liked the bottle of wine better. We decided to split the Grilled Octopus app, which came with seasoned potatoes, olives and tomatoes. This was arguably the weakest part of the meal. The octopus was a little tough/rubbery and the accompanying potatoes to me were very much needed and better, frankly, than the designated star of the show here. I'm not an olive person but my chum's comment there was they were too overwhelming, taste-wise. Noted. We also got a side of parmesan truffle garlic steak fries, which I didn't have too many of because I was distracted by all of the other options on the table, but would totally get again. For entrees, it felt morally proper to hit up the cattle (when in Rome). I went with the Braised Short Ribs, which is one of my go-tos if it's on the menu. Pretty good - VERY tender and literally falling off the bone. I'd say about 20% of it was too fatty for me, and I pawned that section off on my chum, but the other 80% was primo. She got the Filet Mignon Oscar style (which my computer wanted to autocorrect to Oscars, thinking it was the umpteenth time I was typing something about the Academy Awards), and was very pleased by it. Not mindblowingly amazing but solidly above average across the board. I'm not sure why we ordered dessert at this point other than to ensure I had something else to munch on the following day, but we did that too. I got the Cheesecake w/ Marionberry Compote. This was just okay for me. Taste-wise, the cheesecake seemed a little off for my palate; maybe a little too tart? It didn't seem as milky as other cheesecakes, which doesn't necessarily mean it was bad, but wasn't my kind of cheesecake. The compote was also just okay, both in the moment and as a leftover the following day. Maybe I'm just used to getting this dessert with strawberries and compotes that are similar to that type of fruit, but I just didn't think the compote and cake meshed as well. Debatable though. There's room for improvement but this is a strong entry in the Cranford gastro scene, such as it is.

The seafood is extremely fresh, the broths are rich and flavorful, and the selection of small dishes is huge. There are tons of options for sides, appetizers, and even BBQ items before the meal. The dessert selection is also impressive. One thing I hope they can improve is the ice jelly (冰粉). The current red version tastes a bit like Jell-O, which feels a little off compared to authentic Chongqing ice jelly -- would love to see a more traditional texture and flavor in the future. My personal must-haves here are the lobster, crayfish, beef tripe, and pork aorta (黄喉) -- always fresh, always delicious. Overall, amazing quality, super fresh seafood, and great variety. No wonder we keep coming back.

There is such a large selection of seafood to choose from, for the price of $63.99 per person, it is not bad especially considering how much seafood and meat costs. Ordering is easy as each table has their own tablet to place orders but my only gripe was that staff need to enter a code before you can submit to the kitchen. Drinks are self service and you can get as many as you like, from sodas, water, soy milk, green tea. There is also a sauce bar that is kept very clean. Decor is amazing as staff informed me that the paintings on the walls were hand painted by an artist from China. For every 2 people, you get an option of a lobster or another type of seafood. Seafood options range from mussels to class and even razor clams. Plenty of meat and veggie options as well. Although this is supposed to be a hotpot and bbq restaurant, hotpot is the only thing available as the restaurant does not have the proper ventilation installed for the bbq grills, although the grills are right next to the hotpot. That's unfortunate as I was looking forward to grilling some of the seafood. For dessert, they had durian which I tried for the first time. It was super creamy and sweet! I've been missing out this whole time! Overall, our entire experience was great and I would definitely return.

    What Thai food dreams are made of…read more I first got hooked on Thai food about 20 years ago--grabbing takeout from random food carts and a tiny Midtown spot called Rain. One bite in, I was done for. Since then, it's basically a rule: if I see a Thai restaurant, I'm stopping. Over time I've graduated beyond pad Thai (growth), and I'm always on the hunt for the next standout dish. This past weekend, I found a hidden gem. And I mean hidden. Don't let the exterior fool you--it looks like the new owners took over a long-retired diner that last saw its glory days sometime around the Reagan administration. Inside doesn't do much to change your expectations either... very "vintage 80s diner chic," and not in the trendy way. Then you're greeted by a kid who looks like he's juggling high school algebra homework while simultaneously bussing tables, taking orders, running food, pouring drinks, and working the register. Absolute Swiss Army knife. Honestly, I've been to fully staffed restaurants that don't run half as efficiently. Now the food--this is where things get serious. I usually start with papaya salad, but I saw they offered soft shell crab for an extra $3 and thought, "say less." The crabs came out perfectly fried--crispy, not greasy--two generous pieces sitting on top of a bright mango salad with a light vinaigrette. Ridiculously good. For mains, I went with my usual benchmarks: beef pad see ew and duck in red curry. Both delivered. The pad see ew had a solid portion of Chinese broccoli, noodles cooked just right, and that perfect balance of savory flavor. The red duck curry? Rich, fragrant, and the kind of dish that reminds you why you fell in love with Thai food in the first place. No exaggeration--these might be the best versions of both dishes I've had in 20 years of eating Thai. And I don't say that lightly. I was just in Vegas and went off-strip to try a highly recommended Thai spot... this place beats it, easily. My wife agreed, and she doesn't hand out food compliments like participation trophies. At that point, we figured dessert was mandatory because clearly this place refuses to miss. Mango sticky rice came out and--shocking--also excellent. Sweet, balanced, and a perfect finish. Total bill was around $100, including a large Thai iced tea (also on point). Bottom line: this family knows exactly what they're doing. If they keep this up, they won't be "hidden" for long--they'll be packed with repeat customers who, like me, came for curiosity and left planning their next visit.

I usually order mild spice here whereas somewhere else medium spice. The best dish we had so far is the pineapple fried rice! It's excellent and definitely a 5 star dish! We also had the cashew nut stir fry, mango shrimp, and prew wan with shrimp. The only dish I don't recommend is the prew wan. It's lacked the sweetness it's supposed to have. The mango shrimp and cashew nut stir fry was very good! Service is a bit slow, but the food makes up for it. I recommend Monkey Thai Diner in Clark!
