    The taste of most items are 3stars. However when more than 40items come with an only $15 buffet, I have to give 5 star. Great price with great service.

    I honestly don’t know how this place gets such high reviews. Prices are good, but the food is just ok. I won’t be eating there again though. The past two times we went in was during the summer months and the ac was not working. I couldn’t even eat my food I was so grossed out by the condensation from the glass on the buffets dripping into the food. It was so hot in there it was just a very unpleasant experience. A few weeks later my daughter and I were out shopping all day and she talked me into trying them again because they’ve always liked there food and nope it was the same thing again no ac, food wasn’t good, we just picked at out food, it was awful yet again we had to leave because we were so grossed out and to top it off both we’re pretty sure we got food poisoning from that visit because we both we running for the bathroom all evening. I’ll never go back again. My husband on the other hand loves them, but that’s not saying much because he’ll eat anything.

    Had the buffet. Food was okay. I wonder if it might be better quality if you ordered off the menu. Nothing wrong with anything but it not like I'm in a hurry to go back.

    With a name like “Four Seas,” we were optimistic so we ordered the Seafood Delight. The shrimp were mushy, the scallops were the size of dimes and the remainder of the “seafood” was imitation crab which we did not eat. The miscellaneous pieces of broccoli, celery and carrots were fine.

    Good selection, they have some seafood options and sushi options. Four seas is far superior to most Chinese buffets in similar sized cities, but don't expect hibachi either.

    I in general love the food from here and tonight we went out excited for the great food we got there at 7:50 they close at 9:30 thinking we would at least get some fresh food. I was disappointed there were no fresh wontons only 2 left and none out, the dishes were all about empty and nothing was refilled we were there at 8:40 and still nothing had been brought out I was disappointed paying 32$ and only getting to have a few hard food items to choose from I love the wontons and didn't get a single warm one just 2 hard ones. I recommend we go to this one since we'd been going between them and China Garden tho I think we'll stick to China Garden after this no matter when you come in they ask what you'd like fresh and will whip up smaller batches!

    I love this place....great food, great service, friendly staff, always clean, and at $10.95 lunch buffet Monday through Thursday, I'd argue it's the best dining value in all of Brainerd. What sets Four Sea's apart is the fresh made all you can eat sushi rolls. Other buffets in towns can compete, maybe even match what Four Sea's has....but they don't do sushi! Everything from the sesame chicken, fried rice, low mein, sweet & sour chicken, you name it....it's all top-notch. There's also a lot of dessert options which is nice. Two thumbs up, way up for Four Sea's!

    We stop at this buffet every time we're in town. Their selection is pretty great; something for everyone in the family/group. The staff is always very friendly, clearing tables and refilling drinks. The last time we stopped by it was pretty late (7:30-8:00pm) and the dishes were pretty low. Understandably, they were not refilling each dish before closing but when we asked for the dishes we liked they made them and brought them out promptly. We will continue to visit this buffet when we stay in Brainerd. The food is tasty and filling. Price is average but worth it.

    We arrived at 4:30pm. Sushi bar was full and quality was average for a buffet. Some main dishes needed to be replaced with fresh but other dishes were full and very tasty. There was a good variety for adults and kids. The restaurant interior seemed dated but was pretty clean. Staff was nice and efficient. Cost was very reasonable for what you got, around 14.00 each, drink not included. We will return.

    Weekend price is now $15.30 (drink not included) which is decent compared within neighborhood, much better than Crosby's restaurants. Just your typical Chinese buffet with the good and bad. Nothing outstanding but nothing is too bad either. Pretty laid back setting

    We arrived at noon on a Friday. Not busy but we still waited over 7 minutes to be notice/greeted to be seated. The buffet had many choices but the food had little flavor, it was warm to cold egg foo young. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 5. There was a nice fruit selection. Good dessert selection. However, the ice cream tasted like it was re-frozen. We'll give Four Sea's one more try, but order off the menu next time.

    My brother paid for it so I can't really give you an honest opinion if it was worth the money but the food was good and I was able to eat 3 or 4 plates before getting full. I just didn't like the lack of variety And the horrible salid bar set up. 😕 nothing but dressing for the salad

    I went there with my wife and in-laws. There are various option! Even sushi (if you like them like me). Price very reasonable. Woud recommend.

    Ate here on 7/6/23. Fast, friendly service, attentive table staff. The food: my biggest issue was, wontons were signed as "cream cheese". They had crab meat. I'm allergic to shellfish. Luckily, my dining partner grabbed them off my plate, as I sat down. She immediately said, "do NOT eat those". For the love of God, accurately denote your items in buffet. For some us, it IS life, or death. Clearly, I'm beyond irritated about their oversight. The General Tso's chicken, and Sesame chicken were good. Chicken pieces were tiny, though. So, mostly breading. But, good flavor. The lo mein noodles had zero flavor. Seriously, nothing. The fried rice was somewhat crunchy. Undercooked, definitely. The chicken meatballs, although spicy, had awesome flavor! One of the redeeming dishes, in my opinion. The green beans were good, too. Veggie egg rolls were above average, as well. Sweet & sour sauce was basic, but good - I used it to drench the less flavorful items. Skip the dumplings, and their dipping sauce...unless, you like chili oil. Hot, hot, hot. They were either rubbery, or crunchy. No in between. I would go back for the meatballs, and beans. But, only those .

    Decent selection. A lot of fried choices though. Make sure you go right when they open or food gets kinda dried out throughout the day.

  • 3/5 Nancy A. 1 year ago on Google
    The rice was good. Everything else was lacking in flavor. Chicken was omitted from the sesame chicken!! I really can't recommend this place. Will be looking for somewhere new to have lunch.

  • 1/5 Tammy S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was terrible it all tasted the same. Horrible service. Same yourselves some money and don't go there. It was 35 dollars for a bad buffet what a rip off.

  • 4/5 Joe M. 1 year ago on Google
    They keep their food pretty fresh. Taste good. And I love the sushi

  • 4/5 Amy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, friendly staff. I wish there was more of a selection, but it was still good. Delicious sushi too.

  • 2/5 Yvonne H. 1 year ago on Google
    Not impressed! No butterfly shrimp or coconut shrimp. The sesame and general TSO chicken was cut into such tiny pieces that it was extremely tough and mostly breading. The string green beans had no garlic flavor at all. The wontons were in triangle shape so the small amount of crab/cream cheese melted almost completely. Overall very disappointing $12 lunch!

  • 4/5 Kenneth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good. Some buffet I get stomach ache after but I felt fine here and the food was pretty good. Not the best I had but satisfactory. My only complaint is that instead of walnut shrimp they had walnut chicken and that was disappointing to me. But I would recommend them for the brainerd area.

  • 5/5 Linda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had lunch here today. They must have had a professional cleaning service go in and clean even the carpet had been cleaned. New chairs too I think. So clean. The food was hot and they were bringing out new food quickly. Very busy and service was friendly and responsive. Thanks for a great lunch!

  • 5/5 Ej E. 2 years ago on Google
    Feels like home away from home. I’ve even tried to sleep in the booths. They told me to leave. So I went to the dollar store next door and got a fake mustache disguise and got back in. I am currently in the vents. Pretty comfy ngl 5/5

    Haven't been to a Chinese Buffet in a very long time. This was an amazing place with great food. The whole family love it.

  • 2/5 Adryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    The buffet was okay but the server was very snotty as was the cashier and I left no tip and they started talking jibba jabba jooba jabba that's Chinese and got louder and louder as l went out the door how rude. I do not tip for bad service or for bad food.

  • 5/5 Stephen T. 1 year ago on Google
    Solid buffet. Everything was what youd expect from a decent Chinese buffet. It was over $60 for 2 adults and 3 small children, which seemed a bit pricey, but we still intend to go there about once a month.

  • 3/5 Brady G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good, and they switched it out regularly while there. But the reason I didn't give it four stars, is because of how humid it was in the main dining area. I could see the refrigerators were sweating. And there was only two staff members on the floor and one at cash register with almost every table full.
