I like seafood buffet
Seafood, sushi, desert. Lots of selection. 1 and 1/2 hour time limit but not enforced, should be enough.

A good buffet restaurant. It has a mixed seafood and authentic Chinese dishes.
High celling and light color paint give feeling of big space.
It's price is also good comparing to other similar buffets.

After seeing this place all over social media, we were excited to give it a try!
It was a 2 hour commute from Inwood to here. The instructions on how to find the place weren't the most clear. You have to go through a hotel lobby of some kind to the 4th floor.
Place was clean and well maintained, staff was friendly and polite.
Decent array of food selections ranging from cooked foods, to sushi, to hibachi, to desserts, to seafood.
We mainly came for the crab legs!
Cooked food was not warm but rather room temp - which worried me, food temperature safety. This is a possible way of getting sick, especially seafood I fits not kept hot.
Crab legs were soaked in strong salt water, which made it hard to eat more than a few (even with butter). This made you super thirsty and you'd have to drink a bunch of water.. Which then fills you up and can't eat much. I'm not sure if this is a common tactic but very dissapointing. So you basically don't eat too much crab and fill up on water.. We won't be returning.
***Edit: we got food poisoning from here!! Be careful! If you're going to go, go when it's busy, I guess. So the food is constantly moving

We showed early thinking we were the first ones there, but we were so wrong. There were some many people already grabbing food when we showed up for lunch service. They have a good selection of sushi, hot and cold food and a large selection of desserts. Kind of pricey but worth the try. By the time we left, the whole buffet was full of people for a busy Saturday. We had to wait for the Boba and there was no choice but the one tea flavor. Also found out that they offered cotton candy which was refreshing end to the meal.

Very disappointed for the service received today. We are often return customers and the food is okay. However, I have to say every time their service is horrible but over the past few months it getting worse and worse each time. Specially the people serving the food. I do think that the service that they provide is not meeting even low standards for this type of “buffet” and the price they charged. Today we have a party of 4 adults, one of us went to the hot station near the entrance to get some oysters and the lady serving those have a baking sheet FULL of oysters and proceed to just drop TWO pieces of them in one person plantes, when there are more then 8-10 people in line. She walked away with the oysters and waited until no body was standing there to drop more oysters. I found this completed rude, not professional and very discriminatory against people waiting in line why she pick and choice who to give oysters to? This is a ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET, why are they selecting who to give oysters and who not? Please be mindful that she has a WHOLE BAKING SHEET FULL of oysters. Please don’t get me started on the looks that they give to every person going to that direction is very unwelcome and disrespectful. Later on, another person from our table who didn’t get to have any oysters when and stand in the line for 10 mins because there were none left. Then, when the same women came out with the sheet full of oysters she proceed to give 6 to the person in front and then 2 to the person on the back of us, and 2 more to the other person behind that other person. Even we were standing there before those people. Once again would like an explanation from management why their employees select who to give and who not to give? For the price they charge and the options they offer people should be free to choice what the want to eat and not feel discriminated and disrespected while trying to eat because we are paying for the service. I found this very disappointed since we are return customers and having this type of service really ruins the whole experience of dining there and even the willingness to come back if this issue keep happening.

Food: lots of options, but quality is mediocre. But hey it's buffet. Eat what you paid for.
Service: been here a couple of times, servers will ask customers if anyone wants a refill of drinks. There will be a time that it's so busy no will ask so better get their attention.
Atmosphere: whenever I'm here, I feel like I'm eating in a wet market place. Everyone is everywhere which is okay since it's all you can eat. Though, I hope they can clean up the aftermath of people swarming on the chafer since some people don't know how to act humanly.

The quality here puts it in the top tier locally. The waiters did their job well, food arrived quickly, and everything was perfectly prepared. The quality of assistance is complete. AMAZING. This is strictly my own opinion.
