Brought my family to the Ocean Buffet for lunch and was a little skeptical after reading a few bad reviews, although my friends raved about it. Don't let the exterior and the landscaping scare you away. We opened the doors and it smelled wonderful inside. They did a great job converting the old "Whistle Junction, " and creating a nice tranquil asian atmosphere, complete with a waterfalls and bamboo. Now to the dining experience. The selection was amazing. Many chinese standards, (Egg Foo Young, General Tso Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, etc.) but also some great baked and fried fish, fresh muscles, peel and eat shrimp, octopus, crab, clams. There were many fresh salads to choose from, There were a few italian pasta dishes and pizza, too. There was a full sushi bar, with every kind of sushi imaginable. I will have to check it out next time, as I was too full to partake this trip. But my favorite is the hibachi grill. I selected steak, lo mein noodles, peppers, onions, 2 kinds of mushrooms, broccoli, (and these are just a few of the choices) and they grilled it up right in front of me, adding some teriyaki and special house sauce. It was so very good and so very fresh. I would have gone back to try some new concoctions, but my children were begging me to scoop them some ice cream (from the 6 flavors) . We all very much enjoyed it and will be back. My family of 5 ate for under $19 with a coupon. All I can do to respond to those who left bad reviews is that it is obvious that the folks at Ocean's Buffet got their act together since then. (and I sat at that same table near the kitchen, and it was not a big deal nor a problem...workers were barely noticeable). We went for lunch on a Thursday at about 12:30 and the place was pretty crowded.
