I had dinner here a few days ago at about 4:30pm and the food on the buffet looked as though it had been sitting there since lunch time. It looked dried up, old and not fresh at all. I noticed that the only thing that was changed out from the Lunch menu to dinner menu was the crab claws and they charge you a few dollars more but did not update and add fresh food as they should do when switching over from lunch to dinner. Also, the food on the buffet is scarce, meaning they seem to hardly ever fill the buffet. It seems as though they are trying to conserve food, but being stingy with the food by putting only small portions on the buffet. The food also was cold, and when I brought it to their attention, the manager or maybe owner, I watched him place some food in a separate pan and went to the kitchen to re-heat it. After reheating, he placed it back out on the buffet. I will never eat here again and would never recommend it.

My family and I went to china ocean buffet on 3/4/12 and went to that place because it has low prices. First they sat the 3 of us at a table that was about a 2 foot long table with 4 chairs which seemed like a table for 2. 2nd they put no napkins on out table and there was barely anyfood at the buffet.3rd our dinner cost 42.95 and I did the math and it should have cost 35.95.4th everything was low fat lowcarb and the food looked disgustin and the ice cream was lowfat and there was only 2 flavor vinnila and strawberry when there right next to the slab(the marble slab) we ate our 42 dollars worth of food not even eating all the disgusting food and immedatly left.

I use to enjoy this place very much. It was my first suggestion when I was asked where I wanted to eat. Now the staff there has become rude and the cleanliness seems to not be a priority to them. I usually leave the tip on the table before I leave, but the waitress stood there and asked for it. I handed her a dollar because I was unsatisfied with her service and she said something I did not understand and left. I do enjoy the food there, but I will never be going back again. I will tell everyone I know not to go back.

This place could use new server.I dont know her name but Im sure u will know who it is.Everytime my husband and I go there we get our drinks and not even after our first plate the server says thank you have a nice day and in a rude way.Its a buffet at least wait till people are on dessert plate first before u give them there ticket.Then we don't even see her again for refills we have to stop and ask someone.I recamend farm buffet they r awesome service and all.

Awful. We ate the buffet on a Sunday during the peak of lunch hour. The food was cold and just tasted terrible. No flavor and didnt really taste like chinese food at all. Our table was dirty and we had to ask for silverware/chopsticks. They didnt refill our drinks. Overall bad experience, food, service & cleanliness.

Bland/Awful/Crusty food. Ate during the lunch rush and the food still looked like it had been sitting too long. The crab rangoon was the only thing that tasted good. The dessert options were lacking and the ice cream was a gallon container from Publix.

Decent prices for a comparatively diverse buffet bar. Friendly staff and a clean facility. Nearby most major roads and easy access makes this restaurant a prime location for a quiet Sundy lunch or an after party dinner with friends!

Awful. Everything on the buffet was stale and old. Even the fortune cookies were stale! They dont even try stirring the dishes so that they dont get that "been sitting here a while" film on the top. Way overpriced!

The food was very good and the wait staff were attentive. They did not hurry us to leave but instead let us leisurely eat and talk. The price seemed a little high for the food that they had to offer.

This is our favorite china buffet. The food is always good and there is something for everyone. The owners are almost always on site and are super nice. Definitely recommend.

Outrageous prices for terrible food. I heard great reviews about this place and was very disappointed. The rice was hard and dry not much variety and the staff was rude.

Compared to other buffets in the area, China Ocean is vastly overpriced for the bland food offered. Even the dessert was lacking.

One of the worst Chinese buffets Ive ever had. Food didnt taste fresh. Many items tasted stale & like cardboard.

The Best Sesame Chicken ever. I get it made fresh from the kitchen instead of from the buffet. It is DELICIOUS!!

Its like the food got old and dry so they poured stagnant dish water on it. Choose a different buffet.
