Came here on a Sunday around 5:45pm. In order to get seated, you need to make a reservation at the kiosk and pay in advance (about $50 per person with additional $20 for crab legs). Luckily we were able to get a 6pm time slot. The concept for this buffet is unique - it's an AYCE food hall with different stations to cater to different food/cuisine preferences (Mexican, Asian, Italian, Seafood, Carving station, Southern, Desserts)
My fave was the seafood station! I loved the scallops! They were flavorful and tender. The fisherman's stew was delicious too! Had good pieces of mussels and clams! The tuna poke was good, although they put too much sauce over the fish. I tried some of my bf's fried calamari, and it was pretty good, although the batter was quite thick. I also shared the lobster roll with my bf, and I thought it was good, although they use "Lobster sensation" instead of fresh lobster meat, so it tastes more like imitation crab. The raw oysters weren't very good - small and not super tasty.
From the Asian station, I tried the gochujang ribs and the assorted dumplings. The ribs were pretty good, but not a lot meat. The dumplings are small and colorful. The inside was yummy, but the outside was hard/crusty.
From the Italian station, I tried the lobster penne (they also use lobster sensation). It had a strong seafood flavor and some good lobster pieces. The penne itself was too soft and would have been better al dente.
From the Southern station, I got the brisket. It was surprisingly tender especially with the fatty pieces! The coleslaw was also yummy. This was one of my fave items that were non-seafood. My bf loved the catfish. I tried the mac and cheese, but it needed to be cheesier/gooier. The corn bread was meh
From the carving station, I got the prime rib and the teriyaki salmon. The prime rib was supposed to be medium rare, but it was well done, so it wasn't very good. This was my least favorite. The salmon was pretty good - some parts were tender, but some parts were drier.
From the dessert station, I got the peanut butter cookie and this smores-looking the dessert. The cookie wasn't anything special, but the smores dessert was delicious! The chocolate layer hit the spot!
Service was great - the plates were cleared so fast.
