We ate a mix of seafood and a few other dishes and everything came out hot and delicious. The staff did a great job keeping things moving, and they were very attentive. It's definitely more of a "come hungry and stay a while" kind of spot. Good place for a group dinner when everyone's in the mood for seafood. The ultimate, dine on a Tuesday during your birthday month with a group of 4 or more adults, and your meal is completely free - even the day before or after your birthday.

My go-to choices are shrimp cocktail, fried shrimp, oysters, fried soft-shell crab, stuffed crab shells, sushi, and sometimes hibachi. I wash it all down with sparkling water with lemon (it's listed as soda water on the menu). And YES, I get EVERYTHING I just listed--don't judge me! LOL. They also have plenty of other options besides seafood, so there's something for everyone. The ambiance is casual, laid-back, and clean. This spot is always busy, especially on a Friday night, but the food keeps coming out. There's plenty of room to dine, and it's also a good place for groups. My only complaint is the waitstaff. Unfortunately, they haven't been very friendly during my visits. I've given this spot several tries, and so far, even asking for your choice of beverage sometimes feels like you're bothering them. I'm not sure if they're tired, overwhelmed, or what the deal is--but I'm really trying to hang in there for my seafood! On the positive side, the host at the door always greets you with a smile and pleasantly takes you to your table. I'll definitely be back because the seafood keeps calling my name. I'm just hoping my next visit is as people-friendly as it is food-friendly!

We ended up at our neighborhood buffet, which has been around since my high school days. There's something nostalgic about walking through those doors again. I'd fully planned to snap pics and do a proper foodie breakdown (charged my phone and everything!), but once we were seated, all bets were off. The food? Not five-star, but it's fresh--and that matters. The high customer turnover keeps the trays rotating constantly, so nothing ever feels like it's been sitting. The fruit station gets points for presentation--everything looked washed and vibrant (though I gave a few pieces the side-eye just in case ). For under $30, it hit the spot. Not a gourmet experience, but perfect for a low-key, satisfying outing. It's nice to have a go-to place that's stood the test of time, and still delivers on value.

They said they called us at 6:45pm but we never received a call. After waiting 25 minutes we were seated. Several of our orders did not come and/or were wrong. We would order 2 of some meats and only one would come. They were also really slow with the food. Our bbq stick food came after we had cut our cake and paid, despite ordering over 20 minutes ago. We usually get a room downstairs for a large group and the experience is great but this time there were only 5 of us and we were seated in the private spaces upstairs and it was just not enjoyable. I think it's hard to justify over $70 per person for a poor experience and just mediocre food.

I can't wait to come back to fill up my belly again. Staff was 10/10 as they were bring out fresh food frequently so nobody had to wait for anything. Place is big and lots of seating.

I use to really like this place but after today, I won't be back. The buffet use to have high quality and fresh food but that was about 10 years ago. Nowadays, it's overly priced and the quality and variety just doesn't match up. No lobster, no higher end meats, etc. The steak that they do offer, was very tough to chew. For a place that charges so much, only offers mediocre food at best. You walk out there feeling ripped off. The service was attentive and very thorough though. No complaints there. If you're thinking about coming here for dinner, make sure to skip this place.

The drinks and ice cream/desserts also help yourself, plenty of wet wipes to clean up. But most importantly, the food was so fresh and incredible. I've never had actual live shrimp before and will admit was a little nervous when they started jumping around. The star of the show is the fresh crab, offering a luxurious taste without the hefty price tag. For a sashimi lover on a budget, the quality here is a pleasant surprise, rivaling that of more expensive sushi bars. It's a delightful experience to enjoy high-quality sashimi without the worry of overspending. Wrapping up the meal, the brown sugar grass jelly with peanut and mango dessert is a standout. It's rare to find such a sophisticated and satisfying dessert at an AYCE restaurant. This sweet finale is not just an afterthought but a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality across the board. For a frugal foodie in NYC, this place is a gem, offering an experience that's both wallet-friendly and deliciously memorable

You can pick up to 2 broths so we had duck and short ribs which were both excellent with lots of herbs mixed in. Just a few of the great meat and seafood selections include Argentine shrimp, snow crab, and lobster. They also have live shrimp available so if you're squeamish I suggest skipping that one or asking for the dead ones. Durian fans, take note, they serve unlimited fruit here too as well as durian desserts. I enjoyed the different mochis but note they are filled with flavored whip cream, not bean paste or ice cream. Service was spot on - they took great care of us though I had to get up to refill cold water myself. Overall, really great experience and suggest coming with a native Mandarin speaker.

For dinner and weekends, it is $25.99 per person. Note that while it's AYCE, there is a $2 charge for drinks. There's essentially three sections with Chinese food, seafood, and salad/desserts. Plus, there's a sushi area where a chef was making the sushi in front of you. It's mostly cooked rolls, but satisfies my sushi cravings. For seafood, they had shrimp cooked in different ways along with crab too. Everything was delicious and I ended up going through 3 plates of food. Lastly, you get a softserve ice cream in a cone to finish your meal. Great value for what you get and everything was well stocked except the king crab legs but that's expected at any Chinese buffet. If you're not trying to overstuff yourself, they also have take out options which is charged by weight.

I didn't try the ramen but I would suggest not wasting your calories on the hot pot. They come out with a small pot warmed by a candle for you to cook the food. However, the soup base is super watered down and basically flavorless. Don't waste your time. Stand out dishes were the crab legs, herbal soup with abalone, cold appetizers, endless lobsters. Service was okay and standard for a buffet.
