    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.

    Fresh and meaty crab legs

    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

    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!)

    Pile on the seafood!

    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!

    Sushi, egg drop soup, little bit of this and that.

    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.

    The ribs oh yeah!

    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! The ribs were good meat falls of the bone. The fried chicken well is not excellent yet it was good for consumption. Sushi is made by the chef daily. yes a sushi chef in a buffet! 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!

We brought two friends with us and ended up feeling bad and apologizing to them for such a terrible experience. Let me first say that this location was gorgeous! It's very spacious and the parking was easy even though the street was under construction. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Our waiter did a very bad job, maybe he was new but he should've had some guidance if that were the case. He dropped cheese on my lap, later dropped a dirty fork on my lap, passed food through other guests even though there was plenty of space to walk around the table. He also used one guests fork to shove into the cheese shredder to remove stuck cheese. Just weird, uncomfortable, unprofessional behavior. We hoped that the food would make up for the terrible service but sadly it didn't. We ordered the veal parmigiana and the rigatoni carbonara. The bread that was brought to the table first was mediocre, we had a caprese salad which was yummy, unfortunately that was the only win. The veal was tough and the rigatoni was just not impressive, we didn't even eat half of either dish. They were also out of the wine we ordered, maybe understandable but in combo with all the other misses it was just another disappointment. I really hope this place can get some guidance from the Cedar City location because we have been loyal fans for several years and we would love to see it succeed but there is work to be done to get it there.

From the moment we arrived, every dish was exceptional. The salad was fresh and beautifully prepared, the pork belly was absolutely outstanding, and the steak was cooked to perfection with the most incredible seasoning. Every bite was memorable. The biscuit was unreal--warm, comforting, and honestly one of the best I've ever had. What touched me most was the homemade ice cream. One spoonful instantly brought me back to childhood memories of my dad making homemade ice cream for us when we were kids. It was such a special and unexpected gift to relive those moments. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was our server, Parthee. She was absolutely amazing. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made us feel so welcomed and cared for. She didn't just provide excellent service--she made our night. Our family has been through a lot, including the heartbreaking loss of my sister. Father's Day hasn't always been easy for my sweet dad since then. This evening gave us something precious: a new happy memory together. Parthee, thank you for your compassion and for helping create a beautiful moment for our family during a difficult season of life. We are so grateful, and we will never forget it.

Not a giant deal until I saw they same guys being rude to other patrons and literally grabbing our server. We couldn't hear the menu explanations due to the volume of that table. Drinks. The wine was fine for my wife. I am a whiskey and scotch guy Ordered a macallan 12 - didnt have it Ordered a EH taylor -didn't have it. Ordered a Bookers Bourbon- had it however the world's largest ice block (literally sticking out of the glass) which diluted the 1 Oz $30 pour. Bartenders inexperience truly showed here. The food. For the love of God, discover salt. We ordered 4 things. Elote Scallops Crab Mac Ny strip (medium rare) Best dish by far was the elote. The scallops still tasted like the sea and were extremely gritty. The steak...... medium and on the way to well. Not seasoned. The sauces were a horseradish and a chimichuri. Neither of which saved that steak. We literally sent the crab Mac back to the kitchen. Inedible. Tasted like tuna mac that had been left in the oven too long. Our server took care of all of our concerns and saved the evening, even gave us a few sea salt chocolatechip cookies (the cookies get salt but the $60 steak doesnt?) ......until the food poisoning kicked in. So thanks for the cheap wesightloss I guess? Gave it a try, and we would never recommend it to anyone we respect or call friend

If you're having a 5-star experience, the price is right, but it's a little pricey when it's a 3-star experience. Really great people at Sakura. A very clean and beautiful restaurant.
