Food is excellent!! Service is beyond phenomenal. I've never had nicer or more sweet customer service in my life. I've been coming here 6 times a week for the last decade.

The severing area-dishes were always full, quite the selection indeed, early evening, moderate crowd, not crowded. A good place to try something different. Food labeling could improve. The hosts & workers pleasant, hard working

Great buffet! Can’t miss this place if your looking for American Chinese food. Sushi was fresh, chicken on a stick was tasteful, stuffed mushrooms were hot and fresh!

This restaurant is incredibly clean. The service is amazing. When our glasses are half full, someone is coming around to ask if we need refills. We go there about twice a month for lunch on Fridays. My favorite parts are the hibachi grill and sushi. It is not in the best of areas, but everything there is excellent. I am a picky person, but this place is a 10 and worth the money.

We went an hour before closing. I have child with autism. They seated us in an area with no other customers that had already been cleaned for the night. We do not go out due to the level of noise we bring and people staring. My daughter was only eating fry’s and being the end of the night there was only a few left. The cook without me asking made some more fries for us. Another family with children came and the cook made it a point to find me and make sure we got fries before they were gone again. It has been years since we have been treated with this level of kindness. Thank you so much.

About 20 a head with a drink. The honey chicken and Mongolian beef are what I remember the most. Sushi looks fantastic. The guy that makes it take pride in his work. Hibachi was pretty good but Id like more sauce options and larger raw bar selections. Service was superb. The mens bathroom was incredibly clean which greatly surprised me. this buffet is a little expensive compared to Mr Panda Buffet but Ocean garden's location is very convenient for me and my Toledo people. I have to say Mr Panda is better

Nice wide variety to pick from on the Buffet as well as Sushi Bar. They kept everything nice and clean. From the bars, dining area and restrooms. Our drinks never went dry and they take plates almost immediately after you're done with them. The food was rotated and restocked constantly, so it was all fresh and delicious! Keep up the great job. Locals, you have a real winner here!!!

Don't just trust me have dinner!! I believe this is the best Chinese buffet we have ever had dinner at. The Beijing beef was amazing, coconut shrimp was sauced and crispy, my wife enjoyed most all the seafood. The service again was excellent drinks were never more than half empty.
