    Plate from buffet
    Daryl T.

    The Grand China Buffet is one of the better buffets I have been to. The waitress we had was very friendly attentive clearing our empty dishes and filled our water glasses. They have Mongolian grill but typically I selected from their buffet entrees. The food is fresh, always filled and hot. Overall I thought this is one of the better Chinese buffets I have been to in Omaha. My only knock is the decor (tables and chairs) are very basic. Overall this was a great visit and will plan to visit them again in the future. I would recommend this buffet to others.

    Old food disgusting so old can't even chew it of course. No refunds so I paid to post this review

    Old food we came in an hour and half before closing food was so old couldn't even chew it

    Roaches in restaurant
    Stephanie M.

    I found roaches when I went to change my daughters diaper!!! There were flys on the food and when I left I didn't realize they had charged me $24 more. That was minor, I threw up in the parking lot because I couldn't shake the thought that I had just ate there!

    Crab Rangoon cooked w bug on the menuyummy extra protein

    Crab Rangoon with extra protein very much needed Waiters are nice tho Pretty long waiting line so you'd think the food is worth the wait but whatever you get what you payed for Me and wifey are not impressed Ambience is pretty nice ig

    While eating my meal, I found a bug that had been cooked in its my dish. When talking to the manager, she informed me this was normal, and if I had a question I should go ask the people in the ocean. Don't waist your time or money.

    This was the Won Ton Soup.
    Sanders A.

    We went into a buffet experience not expecting much but the reviews looked good so we thought...eh...how bad can it be? The answer my friends, is bad, very, very BAD. The food was bizarre, out of the 40 options there were only 5 or 6 Chinese dishes and they were falsely labeled. The broccoli and beef had no beef in it. The won ton soup was water with fish balls (see picture). The steamed buns were a tasteless ball of mush that we might have been forced to spit out into napkins. And the tea was definitely mislabeled because at no point had tea leaves ever touched the pot of hot water we received. There are no labels on the majority of dishes but it appeared the rest was pizza, french fries and fried stuff that was unidentifiable - just chunks of fried stuff. The bacon wrapped shrimp initially seemed exciting until we realized the bacon was raw. It seems a lot of people like the shrimp and crayfish. So if you want to pay for just those dishes perhaps it's a good deal. We considered getting the Mongolian grill because it seemed like the only way to get fresh food. But even though the place was open until 9:30 pm, the grill area was closed by 7:15 pm. Staff were mopping the whole area down. Alternatively, there could have been a water leakage that they were frantically trying to contain. By 7:30 pm the staff had stopped updating the buffet and were cleaning the whole restaurant around the poor patrons trying to eat. The Health Department rates the Grand China Buffet at 1126 Chicago Circle as FAIR reviewed on 5/16/18 and the risk was HIGH. It's like playing Russian Roulette with all the chambers full - you have been warned.

    I have only been here once, it had a lot of variety, and they had sushi. I liked the ambience.

My husband and I invited our daughter and family to dine with us on this beautiful Sunday. We had 5 adults and two children, 10 and 12 years of age. We were seated right in front of the buffet where the traffic was none stop. When asked if we could be seated a little away from the buffet, the hostess stated there were zones. So we stayed where we were seated and felt very uncomfortable. Our waitress just kind of disappeared after bringing our drinks to the table. My son in law never received the beer he order and we never had any refills on our drinks. The used plates were stacking on the table and our waitress was still no where to be found. We really felt like we were not customers instead of more like intruders. I have eaten all over the world and never have I been treated like we were. To top things off when we received the receipt, it had an extra charge of $24.84 for having a party of 6 or more. I would not mind the charge if it was explained to us before hand and our service was great. So Diners BEWARE! Great Authentic food would be great if it was in an inviting environment with great customer service. My recommendation would be to find another more family friendly or customer oriented restaurant.

    Fun time, if you're looking for the Brazilian steakhouse experience! Be prepared that it is…read moreexpensive though, about $50 for the full buffet. You can just do the salad bar which is still a ton of food, but then you miss out on all the meats which in my opinion is the best part. The salad bar was really big, and had tons of things I enjoyed from cous cous, tabbouleh, a seafood curry, cured meats/cheeses, and fresh pineapple seasoned with some spices. Proceed with caution though. For meats--I mostly stuck with steaks and beef, because you will fill up quick. Loved the flank steak, filet mignons, spicy sirloin, beef rib. I did try the grilled shrimp and one of the chickens, but was passing on most of these and pork options so I didn't have to turn down more filet mignon. They also bring out French fries, mashed potatoes, and a plantain dish for the table, don't fill up here. I do enjoy the cheese bread bites that are also included though. Drinks--we enjoyed the traditional Brazilian rum cocktail, caipirinha, passion fruit was good but strawberry was my favorite. Also loved the dessert espresso martini, which was just simply Liquor43, espresso, and chocolate syrup, but it was amazing and a perfect complement after noshing out on meat. The dessert menu is also intense. Service was good, however my only feedback would be the timing of the gauchos coming very fast after the salad bar trip. I understand them trying to make sure we get to try all the dishes, but there was no room left on the plate, and you worry if you pass it up, they may not come by again with that meat. The first round was nonstop and a bit overwhelming, this could be slowed a bit to give time to try what you like. Restaurant is exquisite inside, fancy, a good date night spot.

Food was well prepared and the atmosphere was very intimate! They had a buffet style for the sides and the meats get brought to your table. There will be a card that's green on one side and red on the other side if you face the green up the churrasco servers will come to your table and ask if you'd like a variety of meats. If the card is turned to red they will not persist on serving you meat. The Guaraná is an amazonian climbing plant drink. Highly recommended. Lastly, this wouldn't be a complete review without the dessert. I did not get a photo but the crème brûlée was phenomenal and well presented. Obrigado, Texas de Brazil Omaha.
