I miss this buffet too much, esp. when I am hungry. The best in the area where I live. Damn Covid made it closed. Now we lost this cool buffet restaurant. Wish they will be back and open again sometime.

Buffets are always a roll of the dice, but this place is a gem. During my trip to the area, I tried this place twice and both visits were exceptional. Even during the late lunch window when buffets are often filled with dried out dishes, this place was on point with fresh choices. Hot and fresh dishes, extensive sushi choices, Mongolian grill, and lots of desert (even tiramisu!). This could be the best Chinese buffet I have ever been to. If you like a variety of choices and fresh, hot dishes ---this is a great option.

Finally got to try this buffet out after how many months it has been open! Harbor Buffet is replaced to where the Old Country Buffet use to be. My family and I went on a Saturday at around 5pm, it wasn't that busy and I think that's a great time to go because we got seated really quick and it was easy to move around to grab our food. There is plethora of selection you can choose from, this is mainly a Chinese buffet but they had stuff that is also Japanese and American, for example pizza, fries, sausages, and prime beef. But most of that stuff didn't really look appetizing and you are coming to a Chinese buffet so you have to expect that. They also have a station where you can pick your selection of veggies and meat to make your own chow mein or stir fry udon. They make it right in front of you so that you can see what's going on and it's entertaining to see your food get cool in front of you! Lastly, if you are a fan of sushi they also have a lot of sushi selection you can pick from and it's decent sushi too! I almost forgot! For you sweet tooth out there! They have their ice creams station like the typical places but they also have a crepe and cotton candy station too! The cotton candy station is like your usual station where you pick blue or pink powder and they will make it for you. For the crepe station it's not that wonderful either, they just make plain crepe for you and you can drizzle chocolate syrup on it or you can go to the dessert area and DIY your crepe with what they have from whipped cream to fruits. Overall, this buffet had a lot of food you can eat from and I don't regret coming at all. I'm defiantly will be coming back to this buffet next time!

I'm defaulting any buffet with fresh oysters with a 3 star rating if I didn't get sick from it. This is because my luck with oysters has been comedically bad. The last 2-3 times I've eaten them from restaurants I threw it up the next day. (Can I pick them or what?!) The oyster here was fresh and cleaned well. We came for weekend dinner and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. The dessert section is the bomb! They have delicious cakes and mousses. Not to mention cotton candy, ice cream, and a chocolate fountain. I wish I saved more room! The Chinese food ranged from decent to delicious. Some dishes were bland and some were great. Everything did taste very fresh (esp veg dishes) and piping hot. I was surprised! Loved the honey walnut shrimp and soup choices. The American section of meats was plentiful and pretty typical too. The service at the Mongolian grill was a little awkward. The Hispanic guy behind the grill cooking was extra attentive to food from PRETTY girls - and ignored everyone else. Just something me and my husband noticed Nothing from the grill was labeled too well and I didn't know how much sauce to put in...or if they seasoned the steak for you or not. Some communication would be good but the cook was uhh... busy The sushi section I had big problems with. We came during dinner, and all we got was variations of California rolls with little else!!! Barely any toppings. Fish sliced so thin you're getting 90% rice. No shrimp tempura, no spicy tuna, no salmon...not even a philly roll. And no sashimi in sight! Just old nigiri with thin fish and too much rice. Oh my god it was so bad for buffet sushi (compare to Blue Fin in Seattle). I resorted to eating Mongolian grill and Chinese food when I was craving sushi. Good thing those were yummy. Overall I do like this buffet and would definitely go back. It's a solid 3.5 :)

Smorgasbord,a feast for a Pan Asian spread of sushi,wide array of tasty buffet food. Huge place,roughly it can house over a 100 patron in one time. Large selection of dishes,name it they have it,asian to american cuisines. For all the selections the few things that catches my attention and my YELP taste buds are the following,beef soup and i assumed its chinese or taiwanese style,the beef is already prepared you just have to select your noodles and veggies,this is a common mistakes in this area,if you will not say you want a soup then your selection will automatically cook as chowmien. The beef is so so tender and the soup is one of the best i had since i do YELPING. Next is the fresh oyster,when we were there they served this small oyster which is for me the sweetest kind,i loved it...super doooper yummy. Next is the crayfish...when i was younger i thought it is a shrimp hahahaha a capput shrimp coz theres nothing to eat,very small meat in them. It catches my attention coz the size of crayfish in here were extra large,same taste though but larger spicy. The last one i really like is the fried plantain,they were so good like the one they serve in Brazillian restaurants. Service is average most of them were Chinese but bi lingual... The place is busy and full that only means they serve good and excellent dishes. Parking is free huge one shared with other businesses in that block. Interior design is dull,but the place is well lighted,washroom is averagely clean. Good for groups,family and kids-surely the kids will enjoy tons of fries and crispy fried chicken and good selection of ice cream and sweets. Noise level is average,accept all major credit cards,debit and cash. I wasnt able to chech the wifi(sorry guys) They have TVs and playing music when we came in. Pricing is okay considering of all this amazing dishes you will try. Fruits are so sweet,theres actually vegetarian option. I saw a duck dish aswell but im not into it... I recommend this place to locals and tourists... Money is worth... Ill visit again soon 2thumbs up interma of food...

Came here for lunch and was shocked by the size of the place inside and how packed it was. Even with every table (not exaggerating) full, they still kept up on cleaning tables, and stocking food. I didn't have the belly space to make it to the Mongolian grill portion but their sushi to the rest of it was fantastic. I think my favorite was either the salmon (juicy and fresh) or the potstickers which were beautifully fried. But I didn't have one thing I didn't like and I made a point to try a lot of things. Like with any buffet if you aren't a big eater, this may not be of value price wise to go to but I thought their prices were reasonable for the quality of food. My one improvement would be the ice cream bar. I love the different flavor options and that you can scoop the amount you want, but there was only one scoop and you had to dip it in dirty water.
