I went here because I remember my friend and barber said it was really good. As you walk in, you see a very big Christmas tree and a Christmas wreath where you can take pictures at. Then you see the hostess area and behind that, a very nice bar area. Once you walk towards the bar you begin to see the entire buffet. This buffet is the biggest buffet I have seen in terms of space. It has a very big flat screen TV in one of the dining rooms. The buffet is broken down into sections. From the front of the buffet, you see the Raw seafood section. This section consists of oysters, lobster and crab legs, mussels, clams, whole shrimp, and already regular shrimp. You then see the sushi section, which is quite large and has a good selection of sushi. Right around the corner is the sashimi. I think this sushi was delicious, but the issue that I had was when you have sushi with sauces on it, you want to make sure you have separate tongs for each one. At most buffets that have sushi, they have a plate in front of it with tongs on the plate; for each individual plate, so that there is no cross contamination. When I went to get some sushi there were only a few times and a few plates. When I went to grab the certain sushi I wanted, I had to use tongs with a different sushi sauce on it. I dont mind it cuz it still is delicious, but I would prefer to have my sushi the way it was made and not have it mixed with another Sushis ingredients. But it was still quite good. You then have your Italian station, which consists of mac and cheese, pasta Alfredo, Pizza etc ect. As a huge mac and cheese fan, I found the macaroni and cheese to be watery and not very cheesy; unless you got the cheese from the top of it. You then have your meat station which has ribs, sausage, and many other meats. This station was good, but I did not see the steaks I wanted. You been to have your typical Asian American food. Such as Korean beef, steamed vegetables, fried and steamed fish etc. Etc. I recommend the steamed vegetables and Korean beef. It then goes on to have the cooked seafood: Lobster, muscles, crab, oysters, and shrimp; Very delicious! Then you have a dumpling station, a soup station, and a veggie station. You also have A salad station in the very front, where the raw seafood is at. There is then about 8 stations of desserts: the crepe station, ice cream station, cotton candy station, snow cone station, the cake/pastry station, fondue station, fruit station and chocolate carving station. All of the desserts Aris super delicious! I love the fact that in the dining room there is a huge TV with some type of good show or movie on. For a buffet it is very good, and very worth going to. But I feel they have a lot to work on in terms of how things may be presented. They need to add a tong for every sushi and dish they make. They should make sure there are servers watching every station 100% of the time to make sure the tongs stay where theyre supposed to be. If someone for some reason was allergic to an ingredient, that cross contamination could be bad for them. Even deadly. (Granted most people with allergies wont go to a buffet for that very reason.) If you want some place that has a lot of seafood and sushi; this is the place you want to go to! Whether the seafood is raw or cooked, this is a place you can go to to get a crazy amount of food! If I could give it a 3.8 I would. I dont think its deserving of a 3 star, and Im not quite at a 4 star. But, IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE, then it would be a 4 star. Does this place need more improvement? Yes. Would I recommend trying this place out, very much so.

My favorite buffet by far since moving to Seattle. Like Nam mentioned in an earlier review, it is hard to rate a buffet. For me, I try to take a wholistic approach by taking into account cleanliness, affordability, quality/quantity of food, ambiance, and service. Heres my breakdown: Cleanliness: Plates hot to the touch, tables squared away, no slipping hazards on the floor, plenty of napkins available for customers, and fully loaded soap bottles & napkin dispensers in the bathroom. Cons: found some food scraps on my seat once. Also for some reason ppl at buffets love to litter the bathroom floor with used paper towels- learn to aim ppl!! Affordability: Cant beat all you can eat buffet thats under $30, even in the evenings on the weekend! Grab a few lobsters and youll be well on your way to get your moneys worth. Quality/quantity of food: This place has a HUGE variety of food! You can get anything from fresh oysters to snow crab legs to lobsters and all sorts of Asian & American dishes. Ive only been here in the evenings on the weekend so the selection will differ if you came during the day or on a weekday. The quality is pretty impressive for a buffet but the seafood can use some improvement. Ambiance: Crowded! So many people here and the line can get pretty long so come early and grab a buzzer. The lighting is somewhat on the dimmer side which adds to the casual atmosphere. The tables feel a bit too close and can be hard to navigate around when theres a bazillion people trying to get past you at the same time. Overall good if you dont mind big crowds. Service: Havent had any complaints. The folks working here are usually on top of it! Though you might have to wave someone down for a second drink. Im definitely planning on coming back! I think each time Ive eaten here the dinners have averaged close to 3 hours! Totally worth it!

Its so hard to judge a buffet fairly. But when I do, there are two factors that come to mind; price and quality. One doesnt care much about the service as its mainly self service. Cleanliness should be a given as nobody wants to eat at a dirty establishment. Im here for the food. Ive never been to a buffet that blows me away in quality (aside from a select few in Vegas). Feast is no exception, I will give it to them that the selection is pretty decent. A vast selection of seafood - mainly shellfish and a good sushi selection along side with poke and sashimi options. Food goes rather fast so the selection is pretty fresh. Going towards the hot foods, most of the foods I tried were a bit on the bland side. Which could be good or bad - allows you to eat more as you dont get over filled with too many different flavors or loads of MSG. I mainly stuck with oysters on the half shell, crab, shrimp, and poke. Clams and crawfish were kind of boring despite sauce and seasoning, it fell pretty flat in the flavor category. There was a mongolian grill option and a great ramen/noodle section that I didnt sample. As well as an American affair corner that seemed to untouched as everyone was lining up for half lobster tails. They got a pretty good selection of desserts ranging from crepes, to froyo, fresh baked goodies, flan, pudding, ice cream, and even shaved ice and cotton candy. Of course fresh fruit, fondue, shaved chocolate and jello too. All in all a good place to visit if youre hungry - at $27.99/head its not for the faint of wallet but if you eat just right its still cheaper than going out to a traditional sushi/seafood restaurant so there is some bang for your buck, if you can consume at least 3 lbs of food.
