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

Food

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 wasn't that impressed I came about 8:15 and the sushi was pretty dry and no more being made . I prefer the China Olive on Irvington

The foods pretty good, not a lot to choose from though. Service was exceptional. Also the place was really clean, no real complaints here.

Really love coming to this place after a nice yoga session on Tuesdays…read more My go-to has been the Mt. Fuji Bowl with Tuna with half the serving of rice but my last time there I tried the black sesame ramen. It was really rich and flavorful. I want to say that it was just as good as Monta Ramen in Chinatown in Las Vegas. You walk up, you order then they text you when your order is ready. While you're waiting, you can grab a drink from the Westbound Bar (drink included with yoga) then find a spot then chill with your fellow yogis. After having had the ramen I would designate this place as the go to next time I feel like having it.

Out-of-towner visiting Tucson and, as someone who's obsessed with sushi, I was so excited to find…read morethis spot near our Airbnb at the super cute MSA Annex. The whole area is really fun--made up of shipping container shops--and has such a cool, laid-back vibe. It already set the tone before we even got our food. Coming from California, I definitely have high expectations when it comes to sushi, and this place honestly delivered. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was flavorful and well-balanced, and everything just came together really nicely. We also tried some ramen, which was surprisingly solid too. We grabbed our food and sat near the bar, and it made for a great, casual dinner experience. Between the food and the atmosphere, it's a really nice spot to check out, especially if you're visiting Tucson and want a good sushi fix.
