Crab legs and sushi on the same plate might sound like a splurge, but in Oregon it can be a regular weeknight dinner. All-you-can-eat buffets from Medford to Portland are stacking their steam trays with snow crab, oysters, clams, and rolls of every kind.
This list covers six spots where seafood is the main event, not an afterthought on the side. Some are known for koi ponds and Mongolian grills, while others focus on crawfish, baby octopus, or a massive fruit bar.
Prices mostly land between $10 and $30 per person, which makes these stops easy to plan for a family night, a birthday crowd, or a road trip meal. Hours and crab-leg nights vary from place to place, so the practical details are included for each one.
Grab a fork, loosen your belt a notch, and save this list for your next serious seafood craving.
1. Asian Buffet, Eugene, OR
A koi pond out front is not what most people expect from a buffet on Franklin Boulevard. Inside, the real draw is a spread built around crab legs and a sushi bar stocked with rolls like the California Roll.
The seafood list runs long here. Crab legs share space with several styles of shrimp, crayfish, oysters, steamer clams, and a seafood boil.
Land lovers have options too, including a Mongolian grill, Mongolian Beef, potstickers, and Roasted Pork with Broccoli. Egg Drop Soup and House Special Soup round things out.
Prices typically fall between $10 and $20 per person, which explains the steady college crowd near campus. The restaurant is open 11 AM to 10 PM every day except Tuesday, when it is closed.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings are the busiest. I would aim for a Wednesday or Thursday night for a calmer trip to the crab tray.
2. Miyoko Buffet, Salem, OR
Timing matters at Miyoko. Fresh crab legs show up on Friday and Saturday nights, so plan a weekend visit if crab is the mission.
The Lancaster Drive buffet leans into sushi and hibachi, and the rest of the lineup is generous. Expect large and small oysters, crawfish, baked and fried fish, big ribs, fried rice, and noodles.
There is also a cold bar with fruit, pudding, and chilled salads. Peanut butter chicken and Chinese donuts give the menu a few fun detours.
Lunch and dinner run from 11 AM to 9:30 PM daily, with most meals in the $10 to $20 range. A private dining room and a full vegetarian menu make it easy to bring a mixed group.
Free parking is usually plentiful, which is a nice bonus on busy Sunday afternoons.
3. New Tin Tin Buffet, Medford, OR
Southern Oregon road trippers, take note. Medford has its own all-you-can-eat crab leg stop on Poplar Drive.
New Tin Tin pairs a fresh sushi bar with softshell crab, prawns, and clams. Classic Chinese plates like Mongolian beef, General chicken, and hot and sour soup fill the hot line.
The salad bar gets a lot of attention, and so do the light desserts. Melon, ice cream, and almond cookies make a tidy finish.
The dining room tends to be quiet and casual, and the tea selection is a nice touch. Prices sit around $10 to $20 per person.
Hours are shorter than most on this list, from noon to 8 PM. The restaurant closes on Thursdays, so check the calendar before you drive over.
4. Mizumi Buffet, Tigard, OR
Sushi gets top billing at Mizumi, and the rolls prove it. Rainbow Rolls, avocado sushi, and full sushi plates anchor a buffet that also serves Americanized Chinese favorites.
Seafood fans can work through crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, oysters, and plenty of clams. Chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, potstickers, and beef ribs keep the non-seafood side busy.
The fruit bar is a quiet standout. Fresh fruit and a veggie bar make it easy to balance out a crab-heavy plate.
Expect around $20 to $30 per person, with lunch often coming in lower. The staff keeps trays moving without much fuss.
Find it off SW Pacific Highway with a free lot and evening hours until 10 PM on Fridays and weekends. Catering and a private dining room are also available.
5. Hiyaku Buffet, Beaverton, OR
Steamed snow crab legs are listed right on the menu at Hiyaku, so there is no guessing about the star of the show.
The Blueridge Drive buffet has a trendier look than many classic Chinese buffets. Its extensive sushi bar offers a long run of roll choices next to a hot line of international dishes.
Short ribs are another popular pick between crab trips. Assorted desserts wrap up the meal.
Plan on roughly $20 to $30 per person. Hours run 11 AM to 9:30 PM most days and stretch to 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sunday afternoons and Saturday evenings pack in the crowds. I would save this one for a Tuesday or Wednesday night when the sushi line moves faster.
6. Super King Buffet, Portland, OR
Baby octopus soup is not something most buffets bother with. Super King on SE 82nd Avenue serves it, along with tiny octopus on the seafood line.
The space is simple, but the selection is sizable. Oysters, mussels, shrimp, crab legs, and a seafood boil sit alongside seafood sushi.
Chinese, Japanese, and American dishes cover the rest. Crispy sesame chicken, peanut chicken, mushroom chicken, and beef with broccoli are regulars, and caramel cake closes things out.
Meals run around $20 to $30 per person, with daily hours from 11 AM to 9:30 PM. A private dining room and a full vegetarian menu help with larger outings.
Weekday mornings right after opening are the quietest window. It is a smart move for anyone who wants first pick of the crab legs.
