Juicy Seafood Buffet

Old food. No refills on drinks. Could've eaten at Bogies for better food. Pretty bad.

Food was very old. They have crawfish but you're better off eating an eraser from a number two pencil. They also introduced snow crabs but they're just sitting in regular water. I wouldn't come back here. Save your money get Panda Express.

Location just opened 11/9/22. Juicy seafood replaced Cafe East, located at the corner of Hwy6 and Dulles. The set up is practically the same. The pricing is pretty fair for the options. Came early on a Saturday Evening and wasn't busy at all. Started to do up the dinner crowd about 630-7pm when we left. They still have that private back room with a large screen. Looked like it was being used for karaoke at one point.Here's a rundown of what I can recall from what was served on our Saturday dinner:Seafood options:- Baked Mussels - Steamed Clams- Shrimp prepared in multiple ways [black pepper, fried, buttered shrimp, popcorn shrimp]. Only thing missing was cocktail shrimp. - Fried prawns - Fried Fish- Crawfish with a mix of shrimp and Mussels - Soft shell crab- Steamed fish- Vermicelli and Scallops [my favorite]- Fried squid Other hot bar items: typical of a Chinese buffet- Lo Mein- Fried Rice- Beef and Broccoli- Sautéed chicken- Chinese Egg roll- Fried Chicken- Potato Wedges- Fried Corn poppers- Fried Sweet Bread [kids were a fan]- Texas Toast- Crab Rangoon- Steamed veggiesDim Sum Bar- Chicken Feet- Banh bao [BBQ pork bun]- Steamed Pork Ribs - Sticky Rice in Banana Leaf- Chinese BroccoliSoups- Seafood Soup (same texture of the crab Maw Soup)- Hot and Sour SoupSushi Bar- Various Rolls: mostly traditional - Sashimi: Salmon, Yellowtail- Sushi: Eel, Tuna- Edemame - Seaweed SaladSalad/ fruit Bar- Lettuce, dressings [ranch and Italian]- Random toppings: cheese, raisins, bacon, egg, and I think chicken cubes(?)- Kim Chi- Tomato, Cucumber, Red onion vinaigrette saladDessert- Chocolate Cake- Strawberry pudding- Jello- Fruits: oranges and honey dew. Also had pineapple and peaches but definitely came from a can.- Individualized Ice cream cups: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry sundae, Chocolate sundaeWhen we walked in, the hostess wasn't very welcoming. I don't think she even said anything to us. I just asked if we needed to check in with her or just seat ourselves. She just nodded and I told her our party. She sat us in a booth. The chairs felt new as they were quite firm. The hostess also asked what we'd like to drink without really informing us of any options so I just defaulted to sweet tea and waters. Btw, the water tastes straight up unfiltered tap. We made sure our kids drank from their water we brought from home. Our waitress was attentive to clean off used and finished plates. She even checked if I wanted a refill on my drink.Overall pretty decent and my kids enjoyed the options. I remember my parents taking us to Cafe East often with other family when I was young. Not many, if any, Chinese buffet options in the Sugar Land/Missouri City area so I'm sure it will do just fine. Nothing crazy spectacular about the place. Just the typical Asian buffet. Some suggestions I hope they would consider is to have extra silverware or utensils for guests to grab if desired. There were no Soup spoons readily available. Also would have liked to get new utensils at times without hunting down the wait staff. There wasn't any plain white rice available that I noticed. I did note a little concern that seafood can get messy and eating with your hands. Seeing other guests dig into their crawfish, crab, and peeling shrimp then licking their fingers. I was just thinking how people would return to the bar with filthy or not properly cleaned hands and touching the shared tongs to get more food. So I'd recommend to bring your own hand sanitizer or wipes. Or they could provide wipes at the table. Or providing gloves we can use to eat our seafood.Though they just opened, I do hope they add to their offerings of something unique. Probably more dependent on the season but like having dungeons crab or lobster (crab legs when available). Even if it's only 1 per person in the price.On our exit, another guest entering did ask how it was and if we'd return. We did happily say yes.

I was pleasantly surprised during my first visit on July 7, 2023. The food selection and quality was very good. There were only a few items that I tried that were not very tasty, to me personally. However, overall I would definitely go back there to eat. Two friends went today on my recommendation so I'm waiting on their thoughts. The employees were attentive to keeping the buffet area tidy and restocked. Our waitstaff kept our table clear of used plates and dirty napkins. She was quick and quiet to the point of me not seeing her until I realized my used plate had disappeared. I hope the restaurant does well because I miss having just such a restaurant nearby. By the way, there's a really nice private dining area with capacity of up to 80 people. I was curious so I checked it out after I finished eating.

Sorta disappointed in this new Chinese buffet restaurant near where I live. Don't let the name "juicy seafood" fool you. They do NOT have a wide variety of seafood and the buffet lines are just what one usually finds at any ordinary Chinese buffet restaurants in town. They DO have scallops steamed in the shell with cellophane noodles but they run out super fast. Lacking desserts. sad.

New place that took over Cafe East buffet thats been there for decades. Their grand opening was a just 1 month ago so their interior looked pretty good and clean, however you can tell the normal grime from buffet is starting to creep in. Food wise, its like any other slightly-better-than-average chinese buffet. Don't let the name fool you, the vast majority of the dishes here are NOT seafood. Its like a kid bringing home a report card and sharing that he got an A, but didn't share they got six F's to go along with it. Overall, food here is average at best and its nothing you can't find anywhere else. However, THE WORST part of my night was when they were giving us the bill. My parents are seniors so they qualify for the 10% off during the happy hour. However they gave us the bill for regular pricing. When we try to rectify the situation, the manager said "Oh I forgot". I would believe that explanation but it also happened the first time we went, where the manager charged us more than what should have been charged. So after two visits, its safe to say that the establishment is looking to make a quick buck from unsuspecting customers and trying to scam patrons into paying more than what is advertised. Safe to say, I won't be going back to this place. I don't want to be scammed and its not exactly good food.

I am giving it a 4/5 because mostly everything I ate was delicious! I love seafood so this place had a lot of options for me. They even had pork buns :-) The pop stickers were not my fave because they were greasy and the stuffed shrimp tasted funny. Everything else though? So good and well seasoned. Especially the wonton soup! The service part could be a little better but they did clear the table fairly quickly as we ate. I truly appreciated how clean the venue and buffet were.

Very clean and well stocked Asian buffet with an emphasis on seafood. We received great service from the staff on Thanksgiving Day for our family of 25. Food was very fresh and tasty, with many savory options, including sushi and sashimi. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

For $20 a person on the weekend, this place is pretty good. They have quite a bit for seafood - prawns, crawfish, mussels, sushi, sashimi, crab. Overall I liked - salmon sashimi and sushi- crawfish was tasty while small- salt and pepper prawns- prawns peeled with tail up- potato skin- hot sesame ballGood variety for the price and nice service. Didn't order drinks or tea as it was extra cost. They happily suggested hot water for us all which we accepted. Nice prompt service. We will be back again.

A typical Chinese buffet with seafood. The sushi looked fresh enough. They did keep up really well on restocking items. The hot and sour soup was a standout. The best I've ever had. Hot and spicy enough with the right consistency!
