The service and food were excellent. We had the fried olives which were very good and also had the pasta and salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection and all the dishes were very tasty. Looking forward to returning next time
It's a pretty good buffet with a lot of seafood varieties. The steak tastes good too. I like grilled beef skewers, and the freshly grilled ones taste better. The green tea bags can help relieve the greasiness, which is quite thoughtful.
The Spring Hotel is almost the most expensive hotel on Saipan. It has a very quiet environment and beautiful scenery. It is the best choice for vacation. Its seafood buffet is great and its positioning is relatively high-end. All kinds of seafood are very fresh, and the juices are freshly squeezed. Of course, the price is not cheap.
Staying in Qingquan, I heard that the seafood buffet on Fridays was good, so I booked a meal in advance. Overall, it was good, 35 dollars per person, plus 10% service charge for two people, it was 77 dollars, the price is not cheap, there are not many things, but they are all seafood, but they are basically common. Because Saipan has no fishing industry, the things are basically shipped out, not particularly fresh. The salmon and tuna sashimi are thick cut and good, the mussels are quite fresh, and the others are just average. The environment of Qingquan is still good.
To be honest, it is better not to come here during the peak seasons of winter and summer. There is only one reason: there are too many Chinese people. I am not a Western worshiper! I live in Qingquan and booked a seafood buffet for two people on Friday night from 6 to 9 o'clock. I thought there was no need to rush for three hours, so I watched the sunset on the beach before going. I arrived at the restaurant around 6:40-50, and the restaurant was not full. When I went to get the food, I saw that the crab legs were gone. I thought it was okay because it was just the beginning and I would get more after a while. After eating and getting food for about half an hour, the staff came to get more crab legs when I was getting the food. I was quite happy and thought it was a coincidence. I was the fourth in line to get some crab legs. I am happy to tell you that there were only three crab legs left when it was my turn. Three! Only! ! Hehe... I was embarrassed to take all of them, so I took two and went back to my seat unhappily. Chinese people are too noisy! So it's no wonder that the restaurant staff took extra crab legs and sent them to tables from other countries. There must be some difference in treatment, but it is absolutely impossible for the foreigners to eat crab legs on their own.
I called to reserve two seats before coming to Saipan. In fact, it was still in time to make a reservation on the spot. There are many seats in Qingquan Restaurant. In the off-season, there are few people and even half of the seats are not full. At six o'clock, a long line formed at the restaurant entrance on time. I found my reservation at the reservation counter. The waiter gave me a corresponding table number, and then I took the table number and lined up to pay. It was 33 dollars per person including service charge. As a buffet, there are not many kinds of main dishes, only a dozen or so, but almost every dish has seafood, and it tastes very good. There are two kinds of sashimi, one shallow and one deep, and I don’t know what kind of fish it is. It is not as fat as salmon, so it feels worse. It is not greasy to eat too much. The sashimi was basically sold out in the first two hours of the buffet, but fortunately, the dishes were replenished quickly. The signature crab legs are really average. Although they are large, fresh and easy to peel, they have no taste at all, like eating water. In comparison, fresh shrimps are much more delicious, with elastic and tender meat and full of freshness. You can’t eat enough. There is a fried fish that is very good, and the method is similar to squirrel mandarin fish, which is also sweet and sour. There is also a smoked salmon roll, which is made by rolling dough, cream, and smoked salmon together. This method dilutes the saltiness of smoked salmon and has a special taste. A salad with shrimp, fish and cucumber is quite good, because the shrimp does not need to be peeled and the fish does not need to be spit out. The ice cream is not from Haagen-Dazs, but seems to be the same brand as the coupon ice cream given by various restaurants, and the taste is also excellent. There are also salad areas, sushi areas, and dessert areas. There are many kinds of cakes in the dessert area, and the cake chef cuts them into very small pieces. The round cake is cut into more than 20 pieces to ensure that each piece can be eaten with small hazelnuts. Some can even be cut into rectangles, which is intoxicating. The cakes have different flavors. Some flavors have never been eaten in China. It seems to be made of a special spice abroad. The cheese next to it seems to be ignored. White soft cheese is my favorite. It has a stronger milky taste than the yogurt cover. It is probably cut into small pieces to spread on bread, but I prefer to eat it plain and not get tired of it.
