A large buffet with very reasonable lunch prices. Had a meeting on the West side of the city and decided to stop in at Grand China Buffet for a bite before hand. Restaurant is fairly large and can easily accommodate groups. Inside is clean with a variety of Chinese related decorations and paintings. Price for the buffet varies between lunch and dinner. My lunch buffet price was $8.25 not including drink which I thought to be extremely reasonable given the broad selection available to choose from. The buffet has approximately 45 hot dishes to choose from as well as 16 types of sushi, a number of soups, a small salad bar, a Mongolian Grill and about 20 desserts. A little something for everyone. Servers kept my drink filled and the table cleared of dirty plates. Food I had overall was pretty decent and I would readily come here again if in the area and had the hankering for a Chinese Buffet. read more

Really decent food at a great price (~$9-$11 for lunch). They probably have the greatest variety of azn food for buffets in Da Big O. For a pre-made buffet place, they actually have a nice variety of sushi too. I also like that GCB is really spacious and I don't feel too cramped whenever I come here (I need my space when I do AYCE, naw mean?). With the money you save by eating here, you can go to Costco and buy more groceries and food! Maybe even a Costco hot dog?? O.O hahah just keeding you'll be too full from Grand China Buffet ;] read more

Grand China Buffet - Some sushis - Buffets Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Grand China is a GREAT place to go with family and large groups. This was evident in the numerous times I've gone here with my boyfriend and his family =) Even on busy days, the staff finds a way to accommodate everyone, they rock!! The restaurant is quite large and they have two rooms off to the sides where overflow peeps can sit in or if you have a private party. If you are coming with a large group it's best to call ahead of time so the staff can be prepared to set up tables to accommodate your group. They're really friendly and helpful. The times I've gone here the staff has been as attentive as they can, even during busy times. Sometimes, they may not be able to get to bus your plates right away, but you don't have to wait too long. The actual buffet area is pretty large and they have a great variety. From warm crab legs served with drawn butter, to sushi, to hot & sour soup, chow mein, fruit salads, and a bunch of desserts---including blue bunny ice cream! Whatever you're craving for and even if you're a selective eater, there will be something that you'll like. It may not be as 5 star tasting as a fancy chinese restaurant or one of the resort buffet places in Vegas, BUT it has a lot to offer a big group and it's a reasonable price as well. I enjoy coming here with my boyfriend and his family and looking forward to those crab legs very soon! =) #Yelp 365 challenge-- 49/ 365 (NE) read more

The jalapeno stuffed is going to be my favorite dish forever !! And we going to come back for sure. Love this place ! Definitely recommend ! read more

There's Always alot of food on the trays an deserts good customer service would recommend to anymore

Love this place, amazing selection, always fresh food. They also have Mongolian grill, a sushi bar and Blue bunny icecream in several flavors! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they NEVER have peanut butter chicken (even though there's a place for it) and I wanted it SO badly! I tried fried scallops for the first time and they were amazeballs! read more

Grand China Buffet - So yummy! - Buffets Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is not your standard Chinese Buffet. Usually if I am at a buffet it is because somebody forced/made me go to it. This place is the exception. I have found this to be the only acceptable of any kind of buffet in the omaha metro area. The food is different. Fresh, not overly seasoned with sauces and oily corn syrup. Everything is fresh hot and very very appetizing. they have these crab rangoons that are more wonton size that are pretty amazing. Overall the food here is great. hand made sushi everytime i have been there that has been top notch this is a must try read more

First time in! I enjoyed it. There is soooo much seafood. It has the standard items, sushi and a grill. A mix of mild and spicy items. Some kid items like chicken nuggets and fries. I went back for more and more! read more

Nope never again! I luv me some Chinese buffet but when my children complained about the fried rice and orange chicken then you know something is wrong. Now 20% of the foods was ok, but ill let you be the judge. read more

If you need a wide variety of foods to appease your group or if you just can't decide what you're in the mood for, this is the place to go. They have all the standard Chinese buffet foods plus a salad bar, a variety of American foods (like fries and chicken wings), sushi, a Mongolian Grill, and desserts including ice cream. As far as buffet food goes the quality is pretty good too (especially if you go during a busy time and fresh food is constantly being brought out). read more

If your two star entrees are chicken nuggets and fries maybe don't call yourself a "grand" china buffet. Lo mein was the only other thing that I could stomach. Broccoli beef actually made me gag, and the crab rangoons were severely underdone. Definitely won't be returning, now just hoping I don't get food poisoning! Did okay with covid-19 safety measures. Most didn't follow the rule of wearing a mask while going up for seconds though. read more

I went there yesterday and the food was old looked like it's been sitting there for 3hrs or longer it was burnt and stale when I tasted it especially the chicken. I even saw a cockroach run by the security camera next to the restroom disgusting. Also the server was very lazy never asked me about my food or if I needed another drink or never picked up any plates and when i got the bill she was hovering over me making sure I tip her! Which i didn't think she deserved it. read more

It is no longer a buffet, but a sit down dim sum restaurant. Pro: For the food we got, they were delicious. When we pointed out to the manager how long we waited, he apologized saying the kitchen was overwhelmed, didn't charge us anything, and asked nicely that we come back again. Con: We came in at 12:30 on Sunday afternoon. We waited 10 minutes (after we sat down for a while and started the timer), before someone took our order. Another 20 minutes to receive only one dish. 45 minutes later, we got one soup and one dim sum. So we left. Conclusion: Because the food was delicious and the manager was nice, we will come back again and update the review. read more

Generally, I'm not big into buffets. That said - relative to the Chinese buffet universe - the Grand China Buffet is quite good. The buffet menu is very extensive - everything you'd expect in a Chinese buffet, plus some more exotic fare. They do have some non-Chinese options for variety. We arrived at about 11:15 ahead of the noon rush. Buffet was very fresh at that point. Enormous seating area and attentive service made for a solid experience. I didn't have the sushi buffet, but co-workers said it was just OK. On the rare occasion that I'm in the mood for a buffet, I'd go back. 4 stars for impressive buffet selections, freshness, and good service. read more

I am a regular at the Grand China buffet. It is the best in town. The large selection of food items on the buffet is amazing. I love the large serving trays of fresh shrimp and steamed clams. The hot and sour soup is delicious.There is twice as much to select than any other buffet in town. The Mongolian grill is very good too. I read some other reviews that complained about it being dirty, and the food not hot. The many times I have eaten here, I have never experienced that. Some one is constantly cleaning the buffet lines, and when possible the wait staff is using a broom to sweep up food on floor in the eating area. With a large buffet and people going around, it would not be an easy task. The food has always been warm the many,many times I have been there. I would recommend the Grand China buffet to any one. read more

Grand China buffet is ridiculous! They have so many choices, it's almost overwhelming. I must have had 15 different foods and everyone of them was delicious. All of their foods are fresh and nothing is ever there long enough to get funky. Especially things like seafood, which have a really short shelflife,Stay freshly rotated. They have sushi, and a grill. We opted not to have the crab legs as it nearly doubles the buffet price. But we didn't miss it either. This is easily the best Chinese buffet in the Omaha area. read more

Wow My Single Favorite buffet in the NATION!!! the selection is always good and I can always count on my favorite Peanut-Butter Chicken being on the buffet!! The Mongolian Grill is second to NONE and the grill cook is always there to take yuour plate of raw ingredients and whip it up into a Delicious pile of umpuesness!!! The wait-staff always keeps my glass full, and I so LOVE the new decor and lights the hung!! if I could I'd live here that;s HOW much I love this place!!! OH and the free Blue bunny Ice-ctream is a nice touch!!! read more

Extensive selection of food from seafood to desserts. So much choices. I only normally come on weekends bcoz of the better choices selection. Crab legs, shrimps, mussels, clams and many more. You name it. I just dont eat the usual because i just attack the seafood galore there for dinner. Yuuuummmmooooo read more

This buffett has tons of options. To bad that literally of the 15 menu items I tried 0 were good. Nothing was done with quality in mind and i get it, its a buffett, (quantity not quality) but usually something is done good. Nope not here. read more

Visited many times over the years as my children love the experience of the buffet. This most recent trip has disappointed us though, we were very rudely approached as soon as we walked in the door! I have never before ate for such regular food, before it's been served anywhere and I felt really angry about this... Don't punish everyone of your customers just because you've had people walk out without paying.The waiter was sullen moody and not very pleasant either constantly removing our plates as we were still eating we were never asked if we would like more drinks, the walls were sticky and grimy with splashes on from food. We will not be returning anymore we will try other Chinese buffets in the area. It's with a heavy heart I've wrote this review as we have used this restaurant for many years but the customer service is just non existent now. read more

Grand China Buffet - crabs - Buffets Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This was my first visit to this buffet. The place looked very clean and spacious. Either from that, I was unable to provide additional compliments, especially about the food quality or service. The majority of food was over cooked but plentiful. The dishes weren't very appealing and the service was extremely slow and disappointing. Overall I would say this buffet won't be seeing me return in the near future. read more

I love the food here. Clean Hutu all the bathroom toilets seem to be very gross. They open at 10:30 but the food won't be ready until about 11 am. Makes no sense. I will eat here again as the food is great just wish it was cleaner and better taken care of. read more

I realize that for the most part, buffet places are all the same. Steaming food under chicken egg incubators, cross contaminated tongs, and more obese people than a Texas bingo hall. However, when you love to binge eat like I do, learning which buffets out do the others is important. For this very reason, I am happy to review Grand China Buffet. If you've lived in Omaha long enough, you'll know that there is a long standing establishment called China Buffet across Dodge street which has a good reputation for quality Chinese Buffet food and Mongolian grill with a tradeoff of paying a price premium for a 99.4% chance of leaving the establishment with no tummy problems. I myself have been a long time fan of China Buffet which made me want to try Grand China Buffet to find out what is so grand about this place?!? As I walk in, I noticed that the place was bustling, everything looked clean and new, and I could see several binge stations filled with MSG yumminess that I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into. I did my standard four-plate food smorgasbord making sure to try a little piece of everything and if there was a series of four thumb war matches between Grand CB and Regular CB, below would be the results: One, two, three, four. I declare a thumb war... (sorry, I couldn't help myself) Round 1 - Food Variety - Winner: Grand The selection of food at Grand is greater than that of Regular. You will find all your greasy AmerChinese favorites such as mysterious meat stick, general/sesame/teriyaki/honey/etc chicken, soups with crispy wonton, random fried things, and of course freshly cut bananas in questionable but yummy red fruit sauce. Grand goes beyond that by providing three different kinds of mussels, dim sum, large variety of sushi (today they had kiwi mayo?!?), McDonald's chicken McNuggets (yes - the boot shaped ones), Blue Bunny ice cream station, shrimp wrapped shrimp, and believe it or not... veggies!! Round 2 - Price - Winner: Grand I've been a fan of Regular for a while and I have lived through several price increases. Below are the prices for Grand and Reg: Mon - Sat 11:00 - 3:30pm $7.50 Mon - Thu 4:00 - 9:30pm $10.99 Fri & Sat 4:00 - 10:00pm $11.99 Sun and Holidays all day $11.99 You might be asking how much is it between 3:30 - 4:00pm... But really, with any of those prices it is cheap enough! I don't remember what China Buffets prices are now, but I know it is more than what is above. Round 3 - Overall Environment - Winner - Tie I think that both establishments are very clean and won't have you wondering how long you will be sitting on the toilet later that night. The staff is your standard buffet style staff so no surprises. For some reason, Regular's staff is mostly comprised of Eastern European students where Grand sticks to the standard Asian ' Herro and Wercome' staff. If your eating experience is somehow enhanced with various Asian art and random samurai swords, you will like Regular's ambiance better - but for me, binging is binging and has little to do with the atmosphere. Round 4 - Mongolian Grill - Winner: Regular The best way to describe the difference is this. At Regular, Mongolian grill is part of the experience. The station is large, there are several choices, and for newbies there are suggested combinations to deter M-grill failure. At Grand, Mongolian grill is an optional side... it's the coleslaw on the plate of food that people might not even know is there. The station is small, there are no suggestions, the selection is smaller, and the location is to the side and barely noticeable. The biggest pain point is that there is no gong at Grand... so there is no way to show your appreciation of the grillers other than in monetary form. Boo. So the overall winner.... GRAND CHINA BUFFET! I'm sure this review was way over the top and long, but by all means check it out and if you ever find yourself having to choose a decent, well stocked, low bacteria, yummilicious place to binge... my recommendation is to give Grand a try! read more

3 rows of buffets, sushi bar, and mongolian grill. Mongolian grill and sushi bar were good -- but the buffet was scary. Lots of fried food and non-typical foods you would expect at a Chinese place. Overall not impressed and will not return. read more

Maybe I am being a bit tough, as I only came here once. For me that was enough, as I do not plan to come back. Seems that most of these buffets are centralized or at least some cookie cutter model and supplier base. I have visited similar setups in multiple states and they seem to have many IDENTICALLY prepared items. I am not talking about same menu item, I am saying the shape, consistency and presentation is identical. This holds true for the entire dessert setup and most of the items I assume are pre-cooked and finished onsite: chicken wings, egg rolls,etc. The food is decent and there are plenty of options for $16 on a weeknight; its just the food is not really that good. You get quantity and selection, but not quality. I am perplexed at how any of these places turn a profit, but assume that food cost is minimal (quality) as is labor. The most annoying part of my visit was the customer base: loud, with plenty of little kids yelling. Also the waiters/bus staff linger in the dining room and talk loudly in their language basically right over your head as you eat. The overall feeling as you dine here is high school cafeteria. Maybe a great cheap choice for many, but I will not be back. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise for myself and coworkers when we went for lunch today. All aspects were above expectations. Lots of choices here. Separate sections for: salads, soups, appetizers, entrees, sushi, Mongolian grill, desserts, and a giant case for Blue Bunny ice cream. I tried something from each station, and everything tasted like it should, and was the proper temperature. Service was prompt and attentive, so no complaints there. Prices for lunch were in line with expectations. I would recommend beating the noon rush, it fills up quickly. I know we will be dining here frequently. read more

I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon when my family and I first tried Grand China Buffet. It's huge!! Also, the sushi was actually FRESH. I couldn't believe it. I went to Blue Sushi just a few days ago, and the sushi I had here at GCB made Blue's basic maki rolls look like pre-made gas station quality. I never eat buffet sushi, and this was the exception. Also, the hot n sour soup was surprisingly good. I wasn't as impressed with the standard fare, (sesame chicken, egg rolls, and other chicken dishes were very mediocre) and a few things I had I hated, as per usual when you go to a buffet. However, the seafood selection was great, especially for $8 on a Saturday, and the Blue Bunny selection was way better than the soft serve commonly found. Overall, the sushi was unexpectedly my favorite part. I might stick to that and try the Mongolian Grill next time, then finish off with a scoop of Blue Bunny. Try this place! read more

This place has gone DOWNHILL. My husband and I were craving crab legs last Sunday afternoon and decided to head there. Everytime I go to this place it is dirtier and dirter, food etc. all over the floor, dirty bathrooms, CHAOS! My biggest complaint though is with the crab legs, it's like they ration them out and intentionally create this stampede to the buffet line when the fresh ones come out. I feel like a loser even being a part of it. They intentionally let the dish sit empty for up to 30 minutes at a time, while people anxiously wait and start to casually circle around like vultures- you know it's getting bad when people actually start lining up in anticipation of the next batch. Come on! Either have the darn things or don't! Yes, I'm sure they are expensive, but I would rather pay a few bucks more than be treated like a scavenger just to get a few. Also, WAY too many kids wreaking havoc every where. This last time, I watched a girl who couldn't have been older than 5 take the last few puney crab legs out of the dish, only to be told to "put them back" by her Mom..since "more would be coming". She literally dumped them back off her plate into the dish (that they just refill by the way, not replace) along with remnants of the other items on her plate. I won't be going back here. I'm surprised I haven't gotten sick yet, and don't really feel like chancing it again. read more

Stopped in for lunch after a morning full of errands and an empty stomach. Looking for quick Asian, so my friend and I thought we'd give it a go. Sushi bar was ok (hey, it's a Chinese place after all). Mongolian grill was decent. They have standard American-Chinese buffet fare with lots of fried goods that seemed to appeal to the Americans lunching. Although the food wasn't superb (it's a buffet people), I'm giving them four stars for super-friendly service, whole baby octopus, tilapia "chunks" with the bones and skin still on, the squid dish, red bean buns and clams (me and the Chinese families were eatin' it up). Slap a little soy sauce on clams and YUM! There's a ton of food so I can't review everything, but I'm willing to give it another go. Sometimes you need quick Chinese...you're starving, got small kids, a large group or what have you...so it's a decent change of pace as far as Chinese buffets go. We'll see if they manage to stick around. It's a huge place and right across the street from the "other" Chinese buffet with a loyal following. $8 for Saturday lunch...not a bad deal...of course, I ate my money's worth in clams. read more

Bariatric Friendly! They accept the "I've-had-surgery" card I got from the doctor's office. They charge me kids price which is a blessing because I can only go through the line once. There are lots of great choices like grilled chicken on a stick and seafood and salad and fruit and then there are some not great choices for your belly.. egg rolls, crab Rangoon, coconut shrimp and all manner of deep fried deliciousness. They are always quick, friendly and spot on when your drink needs to be refilled. They do offer fresh made sushi and there is a Mongolian grill, ice cream and other treats. Reasonably priced for families. This is one of my favorite spots. They turn tables quick but I have never felt rushed. read more

I think it's fair to say we've all had our dirty cravings for a good ol' Chinese buffet...but this is no ordinary Chinese buffet. This buffet has so many selections: shumai, snow crab legs, salt and pepper crab, so many varieties of shrimp, Mongolian grill, and an extensive Americanized sushi selection. They even have a whole roast beef for those who aren't really interested at all in the Chinese food. Although the quality was so-so, the sheer number of selections really was the killer factor at this buffet. Come here, be hungry, go home full! read more

I went to here before COVID. I thought the place smelled terrible and I refused to eat most of the food. Most of what I took was finger food and I ended getting a bad stomach virus. I barely ate anything so I'm guessing I picked up the virus from touching the serving spoons. The whole place is kinda gross and I don't understand the health department hasn't shut them down yet. read more

Not impressed at all! Don't come here. $14/person on the weekend and that doesn't include a drink, tax or gratuity. The food tasted below average and honestly was pretty gross. I barely ate anything at an all you can eat buffet. The bathrooms were also gross. Please save your money! I would rather eat microwave chinese than this. The rude cashier lady also demanded that I tip more when they literally don't do anything deserving of a tip. read more

Our waiter kept picking his nose. When he finally came to refill our drinks, I declined.

My son and step kids go ape shit for this place. It must just be a counter level viewing thing because it is no where close to 'heck yeah status". The hostesses have an air of elusiveness....but I'm not sure why, its just a buffet. The chandeliers are quite magical, like Lisa Frank Unicorns and polyester JCPenney curtains. read more

Large selection of foods and pretty cheap for lunch. The food itself is pretty typical of what you would find elsewhere with a salad bar of sorts, a fried food section, a good selection of typical Chinese-american entrees, soups, desserts (ice cream and pastries), as well as a sushi bar and Mongolian grill. Some of the foods looked like they had been sitting for awhile, but more popular ones were constantly being replenished. read more

It's a buffet, but the food is definitely sit-down-and-be-served quality. The selection is phenomenal, the food is delicious, and I get to satisfy my need for immediate gratification. There are crab legs all week long (not just on weekends, like most buffets), there are multiple veggie dishes worth eating, the sushi is far better than you'd expect at a buffet, there's a mongolian grill, and the ice cream for dessert isn't soft-serve cheapo stuff - but real hand-dipped Blue Bunny in a variety of flavors (peppermint stick!) Nothing sits on the steam table long enough to get weird and gross looking, the way you find at other buffets. This place is as classy as one could expect a buffet to be. However, it's still plagued by ill-mannered and lazily-parented children who run and yell. That's just a fact of buffets that can't be avoided. Oh well. read more

We drove 1 hour to eat here as we were eating our food found fried fly in there when I complained to the manager she got mad at me instead of saying sorry for making me eat the damn gross fly she told me I needed to pay my ticket I said no problem I will pay the ticket but I will be letting the health department know what your feeding your guest.Avoid this place at any cost I will never ever go there again . read more

If you're looking for some healthy Chinese eating...stop right here and look elsewhere. Otherwise, this yummy salt and msg laden buffet is the spot for you. The price is right so wear your elastic pants and take a pepsid before you go. They have an amazing spread of dishes from seafood to meat to veggies and lots of sweet items. I load up on the coconut walnut shrimp and get real heavy handed on their stir fry green beans. Afterwards I stuff my face with some sesame/mung bean balls, some steamed sweet buns and a serving of fresh fruit. To wash down all that grease. Can't say much about the ambiance at it is a buffet. I think most people come in knowing that it's the food they're after...not the color of the walls. read more

A coworker and myself decided on a China buffet today so he picked this place and glad he did. You are promptly seated and get the drinks out of the way first look it's a huge room with tons of food. It's a huge selection from sushi, seafood and other food items. I found the sushi to be a little dried out but was able to have whole shrimp, egg rolls and a few things I'm not even sure what they were. For under $12.00 I'm pretty happy with the food and selection. The wait staff quickly remove used plates from the table so no complaints from me. I will be going back every once in awhile as I find them to be a good deal. Give them a try! read more
