If you are looking for ethnic and like freshwater crab, mussels, fish, (and what looked like worms or octopus… I’m not certain, there weren’t name cards) you might LOVE it! I will say, the salad bar contained only the choice of ice-burg lettuce and 1 dressing (no add on’s, like croutons, cheese, tomatoes, etc.) and 1 choice of soup. The desert was equal in choice to the salad bar…Sheet of jellied lemon squares!

Recommended dishes: Orange Chicken, Noodles

Tons of seating, private almost. You definitely don't see how many other people are there.This is, hands down, the most amazing buffet in town. For miles around. Seafood! Hot food! Fresh food! Authentic food! American food too!Go try this Asian buffet! Call for hours, they're not open every day. We ate every bite of it! First time in years, we hurt ourselves eating. Stopped taking photos after a couple plates.

If I can give them a 0 star rating! Poor service. Called in advance to order 2 large trays of sesame balls and order was cancelled day of event. Per the owner, they ran out. Was only noticed 2 hours prior to me needing the food. Very unprofessional.

Used to come because it was $10 per person and cheap compared to other buffets but now they charge you $15 per person sometimes $20 sometimes $17 AT LUNCH TIME! its very inconsistent pricing and expensive they dont have a large selection of food the food is all pretty cheap they change their menu a lot so you dont often see some of the dishes twice they have a section of the more expensive food like shrimp and fish and crawfish only for dinner a little area for sushi but its not high quality its filled with usually one or maybe 2 things and they do have a pho station to have a bowl but its mediocre selections. The person serving you drinks often checks up if you need refills so shes wonderful ? everything else though is not worth my time or money anymore.

Decent quality food. It's a buffet so don't expect too much but the food is usually good. Their sushi and pho noodles that isn't great unfortunately. Overall, stick to the main selection and maybe a bowl of pho if you're craving

Many times I've gone in here to have the buffet, and the food has been sitting out for quite some time, and you can tell that it has been by its appearance. This visit was a little better, and they actually came out and put out fresh food while I was there. Their prices have gotten to be a little bit high over the past couple of years.

Decent buffet for the price. Pho bar was cool. Not the best buffet I've ever had but the price was right. Service was good. Drink included. Only gripe was that it was SO hot in there. Idk if the air just wasn't working the day we visited or what but holy Hannah it was hot. I was sweating like crazy. Lol. Would return... in the winter.

Total disappointment compared to what it used to be before. The prices are higher, but the food is much worse: limited choices of meat for pho - only boiled chicken, some dried-up shreds of beef and shrimp. Over-fried eggrolls, no diet or sugar free drinks but water, even no iced tea. The server can't answer any questions.

Formerly decent place was a great disappointment. No diet or unsweetened drinks, limited choices,eg. for pho they had only boiled chicken, a few shrimp and something that looked like a few days old dried chopped beef. No fresh meats like before. Egg rolls looked and tasted like they were refried several times. I am not coming back

Came here for some take out.1. $, Prices are very good for the area. Currently [may 2023] about (~6.99) general, and a dollar or two more for seafood.2. Most food items were appetizing and tasted very good. Vegetables like stir fry green beans are underrated. The (bourbon?) Chicken is certainly high quality. And their options for the greasy and fatty deep fried foods aren't completely over-the-top-msg-ridden.3. Assortmsnt of food, they have a fresh make phõ station and sushi bar, the sushi is dubious to me, but thats because I'm accustomed to rollers actively making it, or can be seen in the immediate vicinity. I'm not sure who, or what made the (raw) sushi.Dessert items surprisingly good as well, with an assortment of Chinese style mian bao too.4. Service is receptive and good as can be expected. Of all the times I've come there haven't been any misunderstood orders or bad experiences. Its not like having a personal concierge, but it is adequate.5. The thrift shop items on the table leading to the hosting area is weird and unprofessional. I understand if items were promotional to a certain person or company. But...these shop items really serve no purpose for customers.6. The parking lot is in extreme disrepair, be careful when driving in it! I could of popped a tire on the many potholes dotted around. And the exterior has seen better days. The surrounding area outside the premise could make major improvements but thats not ocean buffets concern.

Parking: Not good
