Century Super Buffet

"(Skip to the very bottom for the main issues) I’ve been coming here for a long time. I first started coming when I was a little kid. The quality has really went down throughout the years. I don’t know if they went through new management or something, but the food isn’t as great as I remembered it to be. There is different pricing for the food throughout the day. Lunch is about $18 and ends 3:30 but Dinner is much more expensive and is past 3:30. For $18, the food is mediocre. I can’t really much complain about the quality. The atmosphere and environment is much better than the food quality. Nowadays, I would go alone every few weeks; in fact, I went today. Every single time I went, I’ve had the waitresses hassle me for tips. I’m not against tipping and I do tip for good service. But let’s be real, this is a buffet and all I’m asking is my water to be refilled. Why do I have to pay extra just for someone to walk 5 ft, grab a pitcher and essentially what their job requires them to do? Can I get my own water then if I have to tip them for that? Because I’m sure they would tell me I can’t and so I’m basically forced to tip. I am always put into this uncomfortable situation with the waitress staring at me or repeatedly asking for tips. Even the times I said no, they continue to harass me until I say yes. It used to be that the tip was included with the bill as gratuity. This isn’t a much better option if every waitress just harasses the customer for tips. I don’t know if I’m going to continue eating here. It’s absolutely absurd how the waitresses can act like that, but other waitresses in other businesses will literally get fired for harassing customers on tips."

"This is a decent buffet for the price, $30 all day on the weekends (week day prices are cheaper at lunch time). There's no shortage of seafood: think raw bar, sushi and sashimi, sauteed lobster, steamed crab legs, and crawfish. Three kinds of cooked fish, flounder, bass and grouper this visit. Shrimp both baked and grilled. Baked oysters too. For the non- seafood diner, there's grilled meats, dumplings, pizza, Mac and cheese (not a fan), salads, plenty of cut fruit, desserts such as ice cream in a cup, cone or bar form. There's even cake slices (you cut the size you want) and Jello. So much variety, I can't even name it all. Service was attentive and quick. Some food was over cooked or sitting in the heated plates too long so I had to work at the seafood items to get to the protein. But worth the price to try it especially if you're a large group and can't decide what to eat. There's take out as well by the pound. Well drinks are not free but there are free refills. Bubble tea is available at the desert station."

"Change of ownership. Umi Seafood and Sushi now. Parts of the menu carried over from Century. Sushi section is vastly improved. And yes, the seafood selection has improved as well."

"Really nice place for all lovers of Asian-style cuisine, they have a really relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. as well as very cheap and reasonable prices for both lunch and dinner! The desserts there are also extremely mouthwatering and tasty! Highly recommended for all families and lovers of simple but purely delicious food!!"

"The photos on Google maps don't seem to accurately reflect the food, it looks pretty but the good itself didn't seem to be very good, maybe i went on an off day, the good that came out felt like it was refreshed from earlier or the day before, it just felt like it was either left around and reheated or cooked badly and flavorlessly, if your into shrimp or imitation crab then this place is for you, they use allot of it and tend to reuse the same flavor profile in different arrangements, they try, they really do, the food definitely feels home cooked... Except it feels home cooked by an intern chef or sumtin this is feel like it's worth 25$TOPS anything more is too much, the service was fine, but you can tell they'd rather be some where else or they have other stuff on their mind, freindly still, just mentally distracted, "the buffet" in flushing is a better choice at that price range."
