Went here with my husband for a late lunch earlier today. The food overall was less than okay. The seafood lacked flavor and seasoning. I typically prefer clean fresh taste if the salt and pepper is light but the items were clearly not fresh. I really wanted to give this place a good review because the price we paid was fairly reasonable but I guess you get what you pay for in this instance. Lobster was cold and dry and not to mention we had to wait 30mins before they were served. Then, there were only a few that was brought out at a time. Had my husband not mention it was out, I would have had to wait another 20 to 30mins for another batch. A lady had to serve you as well. They only had the claws by the way. Ugh. Also the butter they had was not heated or warmed at all. It was in a square metal bowl placed on a plate. their salt pepper shrimp/crab were not seasoned at all. It's as if they lightly floured it before deep frying them. They also tasted slightly off. The crab in particular was mushy....maybe as a result of them being overcooked. grilled shrimp was the same....no seasoning and not fresh. bok choy was doused in clear gravy with garlic....at least it wasn't overcooked but it was oily the pike mackerel was cold and fishy tasting mixed crab with cheese on a shell only contained imitation crab that's been chopped up in small pieces the garden salad and cheese mussels were okay but I'm not sure why I only ate a couple the kimchi was okay too snow crab legs were okay but they were small and the tray was always almost empty not because people were getting them but it's because only a few are served at a time
I have a few more feedback but honestly the bottom line is that I would not recommend this place. My husband and I got sick from the food. This was the only food we ate before we got sick. I actually had to lay down when I got home and threw up when I finally got up. My husband felt sick as well and he only ate the New York sirloin, chicken wings and fried rice. He's allergic to shellfish.
I usually go for $50+ buffets but this was the only one in the area after we dropped off our daughter at Mystic Waters. So disappointed in this place. The food was most likely not prepared with sanitary conditions in mind. Just thinking back is making me feel sick so I have...
Read moreMost of the food was slightly old and didn't taste that great. They use way too much oil and this weighs down the food. Most of the sushi was kind of new but the technique used to make them seem amateur. Lobster tasted funny so I just couldn't eat more of it. It seems to be low grade lobster with preservatives (this same funny taste was in the fish as well) This is the first time I've eaten lobster where there isn't much flavor, so it's is weird. On the website it says they have lobster all day on the weekends. You have to stand in line when they make small batches and it is first come first served until it is gone, so in this sense, it is hardly close to what it means.
Warning: You can ruin all of your clothes here and permanently contaminate all of your family's laundry with slippery silicone. It is because big bottles of hand sanitizer with "moisturizers" are left everywhere here. The "moisturizers" are supposed to make the hands feel "soft" but actually it is nano-sized plasticized oily silicone. The booth seats are completely covered in this substance top to bottom. Upon leaving this place, your bottoms and back will be extra extra slippery from this residue. When you launder your slippery clothes along with other clothes, the entire batch will come out slippery and at this point you will have realized this silicone just ruined all of your clothes, other laundry, and livelihood. The more you wash, the more it spreads to other clothes. The proof (and I challenge ANYONE who says otherwise) just rub your fingers together and you will see that they remain slippery after handling your "clean" clothes. This phenomenon doesn't occur only here of course, just letting you know that this is one out of many places where these problematic...

The experience started with a rude hostess who rolled her eyes when asked if we could sit at a table and a not booth, since we had 2 elderly people in our party and the chairs are more comfortable for them. The restaurant was not busy at all, so the request wasn't that complicated.
We asked our server to bring 6 wine glasses (we brought our own wine). He brought 6 shot glasses. It took him 2 attempts after that to bring us wine glasses.
Later on, we asked for a shot of vodka. He asked what kind, and we told him what kind. He came back later with an empty shot glass. Ok....another misunderstanding, fine. We asked again, and said we needed the vodka from their bar, we didn't bring our own. He said ok. He came back with a whiskey glass, again empty. We then asked another server, and about 15 minutes later, we had a glass with actual vodka in it. Again, the restaurant was not busy.
There really isn't a point in mentioning the food, as about 70% of it was terrible/inedible. The shrimp tasted like it was cooked in dirty water and smelled even worse. The only way i can explain the smell, is to compare it to a garbage disposal that has rotting food in it.
When askes to speak to the manager, our waiter said "ok" and handed us the bill. We waited about 10 minutes and asked again. Our waiter didnt remember to bring the manager over, until another server reminded him.
The manager, Amy, listened to what we said, did not offer any sort of explanation or an apology.
I can say with utmost certainty, this was the worst dining experience I've ever had, and we will...
