    Great food and I enjoyed every minute of it. They have sushi over there It is amazing

    This has got to be one of the worst buffets I've ever eaten at. My impression from outside the building already concerned me. However, stepping into the restaurant and talking to the kid at the counter with an unpleasant looking face. I smelled something repulsive, like someone crapped their pants. That was a sign for me to leave, but it was a long drive here so I thought I'd give it a benefit of a doubt... big mistake. The sushi was under average and the selections was not impressive at all. I won't comment all the food, but the majority of it is terrible in taste and quality. This goes for the seafood crab, terrible quality. I will never step foot in this restaurant again and would not recommend it to anyone. I do see some fake reviews for this restaurant with 5 stars, so beware.

    Sushi

    Their buffet is very organized and well maintained. They seem to keep the food well stocked. Sushi isn't bad at all. I wouldn't say it's high class sushi but it's good enough to eat in buffet. Staff are friendly. Ambiance is nice as well. It looked to they keep the place clean.

    Proof :)

    It was my first time at this buffet! The price for dinner lunch was 12.60 not bad, at least 70% of the food was good, I wouldn't recommend the French fries, hot spicy soup, and one of the breaded chicken. Fried rice need more flavor. Keep in mind that this is a buffet some dishes are good some are bad but overall I'll come back

    I am not a huge fan of these types of buffets, simply because I've had such poor luck in Tucson. I am from southern California where you can find some amazing Asian-style buffets. Here? Not so much. But of all the locations I have tried in Tucson, I must say that despite its limitations Grand Buffet is the best. I have been three times. For the most part, the place is tidy and is rarely too, too busy. Sure, the furniture is somewhat worn in places, but the staff tend to keep the buffet line and the sushi bar tidy. That's huge right there. How many times have you been to a buffet and found slop on the tables, on the floors, on the walls, on the ceiling! So kudos there. One little annoyance: The servers take your drink orders before you are able to even sit down. This is one of my own pet peeves. It's always awkward standing in the middle of the floor right in front of your table as all parties are calling out their drink orders. On to the food selections. Prices as of Oct. 2012 are: Monday through Saturday for the lunch buffet (11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) $7.25 for adults and about $3.60 for kids (defined as those between the ages of 3 and 10). There is a brunch buffet that is slightly more expensive that runs 3:30 to 4 p.m. No kidding. That's what it says on the menu. The dinner buffet, from 4 to 9 p.m., will run just under $10 for adults and nearly $5 for kids. And, apparently, they offer an all day dinner buffet on Sundays and holidays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The restaurant also offers a carry out buffet based on the pound. If you are a serious carnivore, this is the place for you! It's beef, fish and pork for days! Unfortunately, the restaurant does not seem to rotate its selections at all, or at least that is what I've observed on the few trips I have made. It's always the generic staples: beef and broccoli, pork ribs, egg drop soup, fried wontons, chicken wings, french fries, pizza, pepper steak beef and salmon in what appears to be some sort of butter sauce. Bummer. I'm always going for the vegetables. I love their stir fry bean sprouts. The dish is actually quite nice and light. But aside from picking the broccoli out of the beef and broccoli, that's about it for decent vegetable dishes, though you can order vegetarian options from the menu. The sushi is just OK. The fish always seems pretty fresh, but they love to offer rolls that have been deep fried with tons of cream cheese. I know some folks love that stuff -- so this is the place for you -- but I'm not down for it. I usually go with the nigiri and, if you can get it right as the sushi chef is making it, it's not bad for a buffet. As for the menu, it's quite extensive, and most dishes will run you between $6.50 and $10. Among them: moo shu, fried rice, low mein, chop suey, egg foo young, chicken in hot garlic sauce, kung pao chicken, double fried pork, beef with scallops, shrimp with lobster sauce and almond chicken are among them. The more expensive house specials include the combination pan-fried noodles, orange chicken (which I found not to be very orange flavored at all), sesame chicken, black bean mussels, orange beef and an assortment of shrimp, beef, chicken, roast pork and vegetables in a house special sauce. Interesting.

    Overcooked rice..

    I can write a long review of how terrible the experience was, but I'd rather not.. When you walk in the atmosphere is just dreary.. We couldn't even eat. I WOULDN'T LET A HOMELESS PERSON EAT HERE!! BEWARE!!!

    Yummy

    It was ok. Nothing bad. Sushi is good. Nothing spicy or sour about the hot and sour soup. Should go back to plates and silverware.

    I saw the ads on Facebook and TikTok and we decided to give them another try , Pre covid the food…read morewas decent ,not great , but for a buffet , decent . Tonight The food was mediocre at best . We were in on what should be " prime time " this evening , and , the food bars were pretty well decimated , the team that worked there was really scrambling to get things caught up . If I could give a negative star review on cleanliness , we d be right there on the very bottom . A little background , I was a regional director for a major retailer X and oversaw bakery and prepared foods with hot and cold food bars , and beverage bars . Part of my job was to make sure that the food was being handled correctly , and cleanliness was maintained . Issues 1) there was masking tape on the floors on the seams of the flooring throughout the restaurant , it didn't appear that the floors around the food where being maintained . 2) In the span of a 45 minute visit , I did not see anyone temp the food . 3)I went to the restroom and it was disgusting . It resembled a really bad restroom on the outside of an old gas station . If it isn't policy to do a bathroom check hourly , it should be . My partner is a commercial plumber , and my daughter is a RN , and they both had that experience this evening . If I had done what I used to do and checked out the restroom for cleanliness before we ordered , we would have walked out . I would've taken the 71.00 hit , and we would've gone somewhere else . I would've shut the restaurant down , apologized to anyone who experienced this mess ,and closed until it was 100% /excellent on their food handling and cleanliness .The team would have weekly inspections and pop ins to make sure it was being maintained . I know they just opened up north near Tucson mall, and have gotten really positive feedback, I was hoping that South had upped their game to be back to pre covid levels . Someone at the owner/regional manager really needs to step up and focus on this location . Do better

    Just an average casino buffet. Nothing really stood out as bad or good…read more For 3 adults, 2 seniors, and 2 kids w/ 15% gratuity it was ~$330. Service was average at best. She was absolutely polite and always wore a smile, but hard to track down for refills. I would offer some advice and make your cups bigger to reduce refill requirements. Food was OK. Salty for some items, stale on a few (expected). But we came here for Crab Legs. Now I thought I was the only one but I could NOT for the life of me, get a Clean Break on the crab legs. The meat stuck to the legs 90% of the time. It was frustrating by the 4th trip that I gave up. The table next to us asked for the chef to complain. I the felt that might have been a little much, but we all shared the same sentiment. I do love the sugar free dessert items for my father who is diabetic. So that's a nice touch. All in all, we'll probably be back again because it's a good deal. We just hope that the crab legs are a little bit better next time. Also salmon Nigiri was lacking. They kept on making rolls, but no salmon Nigiri. My nephew was so sad about that.

    Came here for lunch. A lot of different options. They have an Asian area, a salad area, a dessert…read morearea, and a lot of stuff in between. The staff is always pleasant whenever we go. They're quick to remove plates and refill drinks. The food Selection is good, and the quality is about what you expect for a buffet. Parties of six or more automatically have the gratuity added in when you pay.
