The food is decent. A couple of items were so incredibly spicy hot you couldn't eat them and there is nothing marking that they are hot and that's including sushi. The price of the meal has escalated to the point where we will not be back. I'm not eating in place like this for $50 for two people read more

It was our first time and we will be going back. The food was great and hot and fresh. The stafd was so friendly and accommodating. I loved the decor and hiw big the establishment is. Nice atmosphere and very inviting . read more

The food was dry and the place was unsanitary. I had no idea what I was eating half the time.

After a few hours hiking hungry enough but don't know what to eat. Buffet was the best choice nearby. The varieties of foods and good value dinner price impressed me. They were fresh and tasty as well. The host was a little loud and not so friendly but two others people that served were nicer. read more

If you you're craving for a delicious Chinese buffet, stop at Ocean Buffet before heading to Vegas. They served a varieties of Chinese food - beef and broccoli, steamed fish, orange chicken, salted shrimp, stir fry noodles, hot and sour and egg drop soups, fried rice, plus sushi and seafood dishes. $16.99 for lunch is a great deal! The servers were great, attentive with refills and clearing the dirty plates. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the self served ice cream. I saw bunch of kids hovering over the fridge and talking and laughing as they scooped themselves ice cream. I imagined their hair and spits landing on the buckets of ice cream...ugh. Otherwise, good place to stop for yummy Chinese. read more

One of the Best Chinese buffets I've been to the real surprise were the crab legs they were nice size and the meat was firm and sweet. The place was clean and the buffet was always kept full. 5 Stars plus the price was reasonable and the oysters looked really good. Clean bathrooms was a bonus plus a minute off of the highway read more

Ocean Buffet - Fresh and meaty crab legs - Buffets Near Me - St. George, Utah

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - fairly typical Chinese buffet that was actually better than we expected! They had sushi rolls that actually contained sliced fish rather than just cream cheese, California rolls, or spicy tuna mix. For such a small place, they had a great selection of food with some decent ribs, amazing salt and pepper shrimp, okay clams, and a hot and sour soup with a nice kick. Service: 4/5 - friendly cashier but the waitresses cleaning tables were quite inconsistent. At one point there was 5 or 6 plates stacked before they cleared our table. Ambiance: 4/5 - the buffet set-up of the restaurant was a bit odd as there was fairly little space between the food lines and the sushi area was completely off in a different area. They sat us in the back room with the families and children so we had to listen to screaming kids for the entire meal... Value for price: 5/5 - at $14.99 for lunch, it was a great price for surprisingly good food. read more

The sushi was fresh, had a nice selection and was very tasty! The buffet itself had a rather limited selection. The crab legs were very skinny. They did a very good job keeping the food fresh. They could have been a little faster picking up used plates. But they did a great job on drink refills. The buffet was a bit expensive, but that could be due to the area. read more

The food was good. And the service was great. Very attentive and helpful. If you eat seafood, this is a fabulous Buffet. Only one beef dish. A fair amount of chicken. Think if you enjoy a Chinese buffet then this place is for you. Took my husband for our anniversary. He really enjoyed all the sushi choices!! Nothing bad to say....4 stars from me just because Chinese is not my super favorite. But I would go back if we are in St George again. read more

Quality, Quality, Quality!!! Absolutely love this St George Gem!!! Food is top notch all the way around, from the fresh sushi to the hot food. Absolutely amazing!!! Staff is super friendly and inviting. Would recommend to everyone who loves a good deal for some great food!!! 5 stars all the way around!!! read more

I was amazed at the fresh food offerings and sushi selection, I've lived here 9 yrs and never came here. The food is really good and I'll definitely come back!! read more

Group of 7. Pre charged fee on bill. When questioning discovered it was for 10%... Not one of us would have paid 23.99 ever for this food. Service/ staff pleasant . But at $25 for a Saturday lunch please upgrade your Manila pricing signage. SMH (4/20/24!) read more

Ocean Buffet - Buffets Near Me - St. George, Utah

YUM!! BEST CHINESE BUFFET IN SOUTHERN UTAH!!! Go on a Friday or Saturday when they have crab legs. Cost is higher but worth it for the extra sea food. Fresh, raw, Oysters, snow crab, at least 4 different shrimp dishes.. the black pepper chicken is amazing! I wish the clams had a sauce or gravy but I guess you can always spoon on the sauce you want.. the dessert is pretty decent for a Chinese buffet. Usually it's just ice cream and some lame cookies, etc.. but this place has good lemon meringue pie! The banana cream dessert is good to top other desserts with! Don't forget about the sushi bar! I always fill up before I get there, but it's a good sushi selection. Mouth is watering already.. can't wait to go back! read more

I'm usually more generous with buffet style restaurants but this is deserved. Clams and mussels must be thoroughly washed and cleaned or they have sand and grit when cooked. The crab clusters are also dirty and the taste suffers because of it. Shrimp should be served hot or cold, not room temperature. The dessert section was a step up from the seafood, but nothing I would buy from a store. There are a couple dishes I didn't hate, but nothing I loved and a lot to avoid. My wife insisted on picking up a salad kit from the grocery store to get the taste out of her mouth. The sushi bar was a variety of California rolls with different toppings, a fried roll, and a roll with shrimp. Nothing beyond the 13$ sushi section at the grocery store. The place is clean and the staff are great. With food that bad, I can't justify 50$ for 2. read more

Honestly, I love ocean buffet. I usually go during lunch because the price is a little better and the sushi/food is constantly fresh. I love this restaurant and have never gotten sick. It's been a great experience for both taste, and customer service. The workers are all very kind and I'm happy to give them my business. Prices have raised a lot in the last couple of years, but so has everything else/food. So it's not a surprise, and they still do a great job. read more

Ocean Buffet - Sushi, egg drop soup, little bit of this and that. - Buffets Near Me - St. George, Utah

We love the variety offered on the Buffet and how hard they worked to continually refill the food! Crab legs were great!

Lets talk about Ocean Buffet, I was amazed for a small buffet they had a great variety of seafood, sushi, fried food, even fruits and Tiramisu yes desserts. Oh and Ice cream too!

Bathrooms are really clean. Service is friendly and helpful. Guys thanks for making me feel welcome and feeding my inner fat kid. I had like what 4 plates Yes total cheat day. Ocean buffet you are Cintron Approved! read more

We came here to celebrate the Chinese new year. It was a popular spot that evening. The food tasted good but it wasn't hot. The prices went up since the last time we ate here. But that has happened everywhere. Drinks are not included in the price so just know that when you go. Friendly service. read more

My 1st time here. Large selection! My favorites were the crab legs , boiled shrimp, sushi and hot dishes. Everything was fresh and very good... I wish I could have eaten more! I will definitely be back. It was well worth the price! read more

Way overpriced. Went to go this friends and there was to much seafood. Rude workers. Service not good. Felt rushed out. Will not return. And the place seems run down a little paint goes a long way. read more

This is definitely the best Chinese American style buffet that I have been to. They have so many options of food, and everything I've had there taste good. The price is great too. read more

Amazing variety. All you can eat. Clean. Prompt assistance if needed. Fantastic fresh sushi. Don't miss this place

Extremely overpriced Seafood or not, not appealing, poor presentation Sorry poor taste presentation, made me throw up! Room 4 improvement! read more

I love this place. It's the normal Americanized Chinese food everyone grew up on. Nothing special but hits all the salty/sweet notes you are expecting. Would I go here on a special date or fancy dinner? No. But when I'm craving crappy sesame chicken and unhealthy food..yes'! They do serve crab legs at night, and they aren't bad! read more

Price $18.99 for dinner as of January 2, 2023. This trip to the buffet, the food was better. Fresher, although some items were questionable *cough, cough* sushi been hanging out little to long for my taste. It tasted stale, it was off putting. However, when we stepped in there was a good amount of people so the turnover of new food items seemed to be consistent. Service was hospitable and we NEVER ran out of water. That is a plus, when you are parched. Despite the 3 stars, this is the best chinese buffet in St. George (not sure that says much if you want better go to Las Vegas, NV.). Go when it is busy (weekends), food turn over is obviously better. If American Asian food is what your looking for and a good amount then this is the place. They have a decent variety, food is mediocre, I mean it's a buffet not a 5 star restaurant. We go on occasion and it offers enough variety to choose from. If your looking for salad choices, they now or at least when we went finally had seaweed salad and kimchi. That was a delightful surprise. They have, sushi, potstickers, steamed rice, chow main, beef broccoli, muscles with mayo sauce, chicken, shrimp, crab (dinner), oysters (sometimes), fried bananas, sesame balls, egg drop soup, salmon, sweet n sour chicken, plus more and of course traditional chinese buffet desserts. read more

Really good buffet we feel. Sushi was great for a buffet. My kids loved all the food they could get. Real ice cream was a plus.

Due to COVID, you can't serve yourself so that's something new to learn. Upon entering, we were greeted so warmly by a masked hostess who seated us immediately. She took our order for drinks and said we were free to go to the buffet. When you go to the buffet for the warm Chinese food, they have plastic wrap around where you would stand to serve yourself so that the food won't get contaminated and an employee stood on the other side putting items that you want on a plate. There are also cold foods such as fruit, jello, pudding, etc behind the warm Chinese food line that you can request as well. There is also a separate buffet with sushi and a different employee serves you those items. The food was absolutely delicious and I went back for 5 plates. Yep, 5 plates!! The only thing I didn't like about being served is that my definition of little vs her definition of little were different. I usually get a little of everything to try but also to reduce waste. I would have only gotten a few noodles of lo mein to start, but she filled 1/4 of my plate. Other than that, I really enjoyed this buffet and if I were in the area, I would come here again and probably eat 6 plates! LOL read more

Good place with good crab! Sushi was okay, but we are not there for that. Very nice place.

Nice small buffet with good food and friendly service. Larger selection than was expected.

Been here two times previously in past couple of years & was ok both times. This time the only items that were acceptable was the sushi. The orange chicken was hot but had a terrible taste. All other entrees, from the shrimp to Teriyaki Chicken to Beef & Broccoli to Lo Mein & Potstickers were on the cold to barely warm levels. Didn't have more than two to three bites of anything. We spike with our waiter, another waiter & the supposed Mgr. She's aid to wait for fresh food to be brought out. We got there at 5:20p on Thurs., 9-19-24. The Pineapple was dry, inedible & disgusting as well as the Mandarin dessert. We left very unhappy & don't plan to ever return. That was a complete was of $47. Live & learn but we do believe the Health & Safety Dept. needs to do a spot check on Ocean's food temperatures & if possible, their quality. read more

Found this germ on the way back to Vegas. Didn't expect much due to past experience with Chinese buffet outside of California. This place has a have good variation of traditional and "americanized" Asian dishes. My kids love it and I enjoyed the hard find value chinese food near Zion. Waitresses were very attentive too. read more

Ocean Buffet - Good combinations - Buffets Near Me - St. George, Utah

This place looks fairly empty on a normal day but they do get most of their business from the tour groups that makes their stops here. The selection of food for the day was presentable. The food tasted good and they brought out new batches of food ever so often. My favorite was the fried shrimp. I wouldn't say the sushi was the best, more like average. The clams definitely should have more seasoning and flavor. I wouldn't say this is one of the best Chinese buffet out there, but it was decent and offered most things you see from a typical Chinese buffet. However, the restaurant is really clean though. From the tables to the floor, I noticed it was clean and almost no stains on the carpets. Shoutout to the girl who I think may be the owner because she did almost everything. She was pregnant yet she seated everyone when they came in, went around to collect the money, clean some areas, went to wrap sushi, scooped ice cream for the customers, and even had time to chat with a customer and her staff. That was an amazing to see and I think she deserves an applaud for that! read more

While traveling through St. George we stopped expecting a typical Asian American buffet. Typical recipes, however very little was edible and left me with a stomach ache, I could not stomach any of the seafood as a seafood lover. Almost everything was empty by 8 on a Friday evening and it was heavily overpriced. read more

Food is decent and price is ok. Need to clean the place up! Baseboards, booths, and windows are filthy. Time to clean, paint and update. read more

I was traveling though St. George, and we wanted to try something different. The pictures looked okay so we rolled the dice. The food wasn't the greatest! First off. They only tell you the price for lunch and dinner when you go in on a sign. We had a 3 year old, and two 12 year olds. The price we saw was $19 for dinner. When we got the bill. It was over $110 for the five of us. That's because kids 12 and over are adults. They don't tell you that when they seat you. Our 3 year old was $7 and the drinks are $3 each. Even for the toddler. The lo mein was terrible and the noodles were huge and soggy. The chicken was over cooked, and the crab legs must have been the cheapest of the buying in bulk menu. The hot mustard was so runny that it dripped off the food like water. The desert area was nasty and no effort was put into putting it together. I will never be going back, and if I could do it again. I would have not wasted our time and money. read more

Food is surprisingly good. They serve you and dish up what you want. Orange chicken was the best in SG. Sushi is good also. The place is a little run down, but it's clean. Service is great. If they would fix it up a little bit , I would give it 5 stars. read more

Ocean Buffet - Sushi - Buffets Near Me - St. George, Utah

Food was mediocre service was okay. Food lacked flavor. Restroom was sticky. Yes, sticky. Pretty much any thing touched like the stall door had a sticky feeling. The biggest issue is the ice cream station is a scoop your own set up. Yup! Everyone lines up and grabs a scoop and reaches into the chest cooler into large drums of ice cream. No thank you! read more
