Great food is love the coconut shrimp its delicious. Service was good we went on a Sunday about 1pm and it was very busy so the food was hot. $17.99 each is a little steep in my opinion but it was good. We will return again.

It's always a great choice when going out to eat! I love the hibachi end of it and it's fantastic every single time 😁. I pick the items I want,put them on a plate and hand it over to his well trained hands! Every time it's outstanding! Don't forget to tip him tho 😯 you'd be surprised how many don't.

Plenty of seating and very reasonably priced. It's honestly the best Chinese Buffet in the area. Had a great variety dishes and their seafood was fresh. What I enjoyed most was the huge sushi selection - that did it for me - well worth it just on sushi. Only took 3 pictures, but that's just because I really enjoyed eating there, honestly. A+++👍

There are a lot of food options here. There are several hot bars with typical Chinese options. I'm addition, there is a dessert bar along with ice cream. There is a salad bar, a hibachi bar and finally a sushi area. I did not try all the food options, but the ones I tried were a little bland. Except for the crab Rangoon, which was quite good. The hand dipped ice cream was also a highlight. I would say the quality of the food items was high and the presentation was excellent. The restaurant itself was well maintained and clean. The lunch price was very low, so even if not every item was to one's liking, it would be hard not to find value.

This is our favorite Chinese buffet. The food is fresh and tasty. There is a large selection of choices on the buffet including salad fixings, fruit and deserts, and of course hot foods. They also have a Mongolian grill where you are able to choose a variety of fresh food that the chef will prepare in front of you.

Me and my family went for dinner tonight, food wasn't fresh, our waiter didn't come around to get empty plates we constantly had to ask for drink refills and when we were leaving he got an attitude because I didn't leave a cash tip, even though the service and food was unsatisfactory I still tipped on my card. Don't think we will be going back.

Felt very rushed and watched food kept being took without being done and a tip was almost demanded before we even got dessert I refuse to tip because I was unhappy with the service and the waitress stood over me insisting that we tipped I had to run out of the restaurant.

For a buffet, it was good. Good choices and variety.

It's, definitely, popular with lots of people. I mean, lots. With that said, I was a bit hesitant to touch things due to many others touching things as it's self serve. I pushed through, however.

Next time, I'll stick to the hibachi option as there was less 'other people touching things'.

In other words, there could be more effort in cleanliness.

This place is mostly standard Chinese buffet fare, but what elevates it to 4.5 stars out of 5 is the presence of a hibachi bar and the black pepper chicken. The black pepper chicken here uses oyster sauce for the black pepper sauce's base ingredient- something that I haven't encountered in 6 years. Last time I had black pepper chicken exactly like this was New China Buffet in Mentor-on-the-lake, Ohio before the 1st COVID shutdown. After COVID, the black pepper chicken never returned to New China Buffet. Tasting this exact sort of black pepper chicken here at Ocean Buffet after all these years was a wave of nostalgia from a better time in my life. Price for dinner was $16, which for a high cost of living state like Florida is both an absolute bargain and much the same price as what I pay back home in Ohio. If I ever do another road trip down to Florida from Ohio, I'll definitely come here again and smash down some more plates of food. Overall highly recommended.
