It's been a few years since coming to the four seas, hubby and I decided to take a two hours trip to see how it is after so long. The four seas super buffet is located in Baxter, Mn in a strip mall, with easy access. We walked in right before 12 pm (lunch) into a very large area with lots of seating, buffet is located in the back. Noticed right away that the floors are cracking and breaking up and black runner mats were very very worn in bad need of replacement. Tables/chairs were clean, floor not so much. Bathrooms were also clean. Some of the buffet seemed to be in major need of attention. Workers/owners did not seem to be as caring about their place like they had the last few time we were here, service was good, quickly seated and were giving our drinks, our plates were quick to be cleared, had to ask for refills on our drinks and the waitresses just didn't seem as friendly. The food, awww the food, general tso was mostly liquid along with another chicken. Garlic green beans were very good, dumplings were crispy and dry, I did like them, but most wouldn't. My fake crab casserole with cheese was very dry and actually almost burnt, but I will admit I did still kind of liked it as well. But clearly it was not good. The stuffed mushroom were a little on the over toasted side, salmon was picked on from both ends with a small piece left, other dishes were equally not appealing, they had two kinds of noodles and they were good, pepper steak that was the best we ever had, it was that good, big slices of perfectly cooked bell peppers and thick slices of tender meat in a flavorful sauce. Also good was the fresh seafood medley. They had salt and pepper shrimp that were not the salt and pepper shrimp I've had, but very good as well. Chicken on a stick and Mussels were over cooked to the point they were getting dry on the inside, onion rings were real good, stuffed seafood balls were real good, I think, not sure what they make them with but have the fake texture of the crab sticks, rolled up and lightly battered with a little crab claw sticking out of the end. Yummm, broccoli in the chicken was very good, they had very large slices of zucchini and other veggies in which I thought was as tasty as well. We never realized the sushi station was open at lunch, when we had gone there other times before Covid didn't have this option till dinner, so can't tell you about that, maybe next time, if we go back, finished up the meal with strawberry ice cream that was good and hubby had the sesame, bean paste balls(which are his favorite), said they were good on one side but hard as rock on the other. Will we be back? Will we make a point to drive 2 hours just for seas super buffet again, I doubt it especially with so many other Asian places that are as good or if not better, if we're in the area, maybe and see if they picked themselves back up again. Sad to see that it had gone down hill. For this I changed from five star to three star rating. read more
