The Buffet is a sprawling all-you-can-eat Asian and seafood destination in College Point, Queens, featuring sushi, sashimi, oysters, crab legs, and dim sum. Standout interactive highlights include a Peking duck carving station where guests build their own bao, alongside made-to-order crepes, bubble tea, and a cotton candy machine.

Commenters view the restaurant with mixed feelings, often regarding it as a nostalgic family favorite while praising its modern decor and seafood boil. However, many report declining and inconsistent food quality over time—particularly with items like mussels—along with long wait times and shifting prices.

  • Build your own bao buns at the Peking duck carving station.
