Makkoli Seafood Buffet

Staff is friendly and dirty plates cleaned right away. There are many better buffet places in central jersey. Food was okay, but not top in taste and quality. Prices were reasonable. Fresh fruit was good for dessert, their cake and other sweets were not.

Go early at dinner for the crab legs! Always a great experience here, moved from the area and meet friends here when back in town. I only eat the cooked food, love the coconut shrimp and shrimp cocktail. Husband loves all the sushi. Use coupon on the website for 15% off your check.

Food decent, price fair - my husband loves it because sushi here is very cheap - you pay the buffet price and eat what you want, so he loads up on sushi. They also have King crab legs, but go early (5:00) or late (7:30-8:00) or you will need to stand in line and wait (and be one of the first 3 in line) until the crab legs come out (and grab them), otherwise you won't get any. If you go early the crab legs don't come out as frequently, but there is less competition. If you go later the bulk of the crowd clears out and not as many people stand in line and wait for the next batch, so you will be able to score a big, heaping plate! I personally don't love most of the food, except the crab legs, but there is a big variety and it seems unlikely you can't find a few things you'd like to eat, although there is no salad/fresh food - everything is cooked. There is hot food, mostly Asian, although a few dishes are Western. Several (Asian) soups, and a hibachi if you want grilled offerings. Soda is extra (not included in buffet price), but refills are free. You can BYOB. Wait staff is minimal - they come to your table to take your drink order and give out napkins and chopsticks. You have to flag them down if you need refills or more napkins. There aren't many servers, so you have to see them and flag them down if you need something. They don't usually check unless they see empty plates (which they will remove) or they see you are finishing up and ask if you want the check. Go online and search for Makkoli coupons. You can usually find a 10% off coupon. Present it to the server when s/he brings the check and they will take the 10% off for you. You have to initial the coupon - they insist. The place often gets big tables of folks, usually Asian or Russian groups, and the Russian groups can be loud, but it's a family place, not fine dining. Decor very basic, clean enough, although the women's restroom gets trashed by 1/2 way through the evening. We only go on weekends - I don't know what it's like on week nights. If you like a bargain, all you can eat sushi and crab legs, decent Asian food and free refills on your soda, and if you can eat a lot, this place offers a good deal. Chow down!

Very good food for a buffet. Fried lobster and stone crab are interesting. Clams and oysters quality is unfortunately inconsistent. Alaskan crab is wonderful if it isn't all out (very popular). And some of best places of crawfish (if not the only) in the area! I myself try to get two plates each visit.

Been here a couple times over the years and every time it was very good. Sushi was great, and shrimp tempura and salmon sashimi are always available. I don't see that in any other buffet. That's an A+ for me.
