Straight and to the point, Grand China Buffet is China Buffet on roids with a lil less attention to the Mongolian Grill. If you have eaten it at China Buffet you probably eaten about half of what this place has to offer and that's were this place shines. The sheer madness of the amount of food on tap is the main reason why I will drive from Bellevue (which has a China Buffet) and drive to Grand to get my happy tummy goodness. Along with the usual flare you will also find a few new gems in there and some stuff to test your openness to food. Also on tap is a sushi bar with above average sushi which for me was a surprise for a ok priced buffet. A word of warning to all you crab leg lovers, this place is a practice of patience because apparently people around here inhale them as soon as they come out the back. Now by no means is any of the food out of this world but I don't leave dissappointed since there are so many options that it would b almost impossible to not find something that puts a lil smile on your face. So if you like China Buffet its prolly just because you haven't been here yet. Now I will never go to a regular China Buffet...its Grand all the way for me! Eat up Minions!! read more

Average food. Not bad not good. For sure good value! This buffet is what you would expect from a chinese buffet in the Midwest. Lunch is $8. Used a -$3 coupon off their website (for 3 or more people) so basically with tax and tip, $9 a person for a lunch buffet. No wonder this place was like 60 percent full of people during lunch. Decent variety: american fried meats (chicken nuggets, onion rings), chinese take out food, with the usual lo mein, fried rice, sesame chicken, cheesy seafoods, Crab Rangoon, spring rolls, with maybe 1 or 2 traditional Chinese food (longevity and custard buns). Basic sushi (a lot of rolls with cream cheese.. Is that a thing in Omaha?) that was okay. Desserts were basic some fruits, jello, pudding, and premade desserts. There is also a Mongolian grill that I didn't try. read more

Tried it for the first time today and I like it. It has a clean and ornate environment. The service was fast and friendly. There are 6 buffet bars as well as a sushi and mongolian grill station. They have a lot of authentic chinese dishes vs the americanized food you see at most buffets. The black pepper chicken was really good. I'll be back. read more

See all

The staff were nice but the sushi was disgusting! It had been sitting out for a bit and the rice on it was hard.

I will never go back to this place again. Absolutely disgusting food. Mushy or cold. Went downhill from the last time I was there which was probably a couple years ago. read more

Being on the road 3 weeks per month, I can only survive 2 days without rice. Lo and behold, comes Grand China Buffet. Selection is great, food is okay and the staff are very attentive. Can't really compare to San Francisco Bay Area buffets, but anything with rice will do for tonight. read more

One of the biggest china buffet in Omaha. There's a lot of options from sushi, hot food, Mongolian grill, salad bar, fruits, to dessert and ice cream. They no longer serve crab legs. There was always a line for it and I guess they couldn't keep up so they replaced it with salt and pepper crabs. It taste great with some lemon and butter sprinkled on. They also have hot soups. 4 different kind. They have American food also. The prices are reasonable but again I don't think I eat enough for the price although you can get anything for one price here at the buffet than at any other food restaurant for this price. Lunch is cheaper. Everyone is here on Friday nights to Sunday nights. It's the most popular time and days. Other than that, it is one of the most popular buffet Omaha has to offer. read more

Food is great, tons of options...on a Saturday it was Crowded...so be ready...good sushi and lots of non-fried options Plus, we were dining with small kids, and we were just traveling through town - so it was easy, affordable, kid-friendly, and the food was GOOD. read more

This was my first trip to the buffet, arrived about 8:45pm. Great parking easy to find. Plenty of seating. Staff attentive and friendly. Food is barely acceptable. I would recommend passing on this buffet. I will not return. read more

Nice variety of foods & they keep everything full and fresh. Definitely something for everyone! Sushi, Mongolian grill, Chinese, pizza, ice cream and salad bar. We come here a lot. I appreciate they have a diaper change station in the restroom and they keep the restrooms clean. Big enough for meetings, lunches or celebrating. They have beer and wine too. read more

I don't know how this buffet has 4 stars. The food is mediocre. Probably would have been best to just go to McDonalds. Long story short, although there is variety the food is not fresh. Everything looks like it had been sitting since the morning. Well, it's a Saturday and it's busy. Could that be reason for the low quality food? The only thing I actually enjoyed was the plantain. Thanks but not coming here again! And for those of you that think, " oh but it has a lot of reviews!" Reviews could mean nothing when in reality the food is just bad here. Thumbs down and zero starts if I may. Y para mi gente Latinos, por favor no vaya aqui. La Comida me hizo ozco. read more

It is not super fancy but the food is great. I will admit once in awhile if you come late the food is not as good. They serve the best sushi I have ever had! I rarely have dessert here but they have fruit as well if you want to keep it light. And when in season the have crab legs. The only thing they have that I'm not a fan of is calamari. Me and my husband always eat here before we go to the movies. And since I have an auto immune disease I have not gotten sick after visiting once! Idk who needs to know that but there you go. read more

The worst buffet in Omaha the lo mien noodles tast like sh--t the beef and broccoli was the worst i ever had no flavor egg drop soup its a shame when the pepsi was better then the food read more

I have been out of Omaha for 2 years and I simply cannot believe how utterly BAD this place has become. Coming back for a 3 day business trip, I saved going here until the eve of my leaving because it was always a great place to dine. The food was always fresh, hot and delicious... what a difference 2 years makes. I arrived around 4:45 for dinner and there were maybe a dozen people there. Yes, that's a little early for dinner, but I was really looking forward to it since I hadn't eaten here for a long time. Simply put, the food was horrible. The peal and eat shrimp had sat so long that they were all soggy, the sushi was ok, but not nearly as fresh as it used to be, the hot dishes were even worse... all the dishes were barely warm if not cold and they had most likely been there since the lunch hour. Bland tasting and simply gross. The service was just as bad. I cannot stress my disappointment enough and I would suggest that you find another place for a Chinese buffet. I know I certainly will on future visits. read more

People who enjoy Spam or frozen dinners shouldn't miss this one. Terrible! I didn't eat one thing that was worthy of human consumption. This is definitely for the Golden Corral crowd. Crab legs are very low grade and not served in clusters, they tasted old and over boiled. Even the fried rice was bland and sad. If you like food that's overcooked or fried hard as a rock in old grease and tiny tiny shrimp, this is your spot. Darn Yuck! Bad service too. read more

Not bad. Some of the food was a bit dry and salty but what do you expect for the price.

Scary. We have been here twice. Food is fine, not great. Not always the freshest. The desserts especially seem a little stale. Reasonably priced and decent service for a buffet. But the second time we went the shredded cheese on the salad bar was MOLDY! We won't be back. read more

I didn't like this place 8 years ago and I still don't like it now. It's a cheap joint and that's exactly what you get. Lots of screaming kids and very slimy sushi. If you know anything about Japanese sushi, stay away!!!!! read more

The buffet has alot of food selections. Whether it be lunch or dinner, there are many that come to enjoy tasteful chinese and sushi. The crab legs are delicious. It's warm not frozen, which I prefer. Aside from the wide variety of desserts, there are 6 different types of ice cream. If you decide to come here make sure you have an empty stomach, try everything once, and to take your time. It is a buffet so try indulge on the other selections. The waiters are very nice and accommodating. read more

I came here with my coworkers for lunch one day on a business trip. All things considered, this place defied my expectations. Coming from NY, where Chinese buffets are as common as McDonald's, I was pleasantly surprised. The place was pretty packed, even though we got there at around 2pm. The interior is pretty typical of any other Chinese buffet. The food selection is pretty standard, and is varied enough that you can have about 3-4 plates of completely different food. In particular, there is one table/area that contains all of the deep fried food, for those that are interested. They had stuff like sweet and sour chicken, wonton soup, beef and broccoli, etc. What's a little more unique is that they have a mongolian grill section as well, so you can pick a bunch of ingredients and have someone stir fry it up for you. They also had blue bunny ice cream for dessert. The waitress was also kind enough to accept the 3 dollar off coupon I found on the website while on my phone. I wanted to give this place a 3.5 since the food was alright and not spectacular, but given how cheap this was after the coupon I bumped it up to a 4. Also the staff were speaking Mandarin, so this actually seems to be run by Chinese people, which is a plus. read more

Grand China Buffet - this is the place to go if you don't care how many calories you you eat at one setting. I usually take my old man here when he wants to fill up on mud bugs and frog legs. They have just about everything from duck to chicken. The mussels w/cheese are the best I have ever had along with the bacon wrapped shrimp. They have crab legs but it looks like they don't last too long on the buffet table. Their service is pretty good for the amount of people that are moved through this place. There is something for everyone here! Sushi bar is very good... Cleanliness of plates and tables is sometimes an issue that is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Really gross. I was craving some nasty/delicious Americanized Chinese food so we went here because this place had good reviews. Everything was nasty - literally!! I couldn't finish anything on my plate, and I am by no means a picky eater. Everything was cold and soggy - the frog legs, crab legs, crab rangoon, the stir fry, etc. I am extremely disappointed. For $13 (no drink included), the food could have at least been warm. The variety was great, but NONE of it tasted good. Even the jello tasted strange. Will never be back. read more

I can't believe this place used to be my favorite buffet in Omaha. It seems like the quality of the food just went down. Everything tasted so bland and not fresh although the food was hot it just tasted old...They do have good customer service skills! read more

Five star because of the good value and service! What more can you ask for a $9 weekend lunch buffet?! There is not that many selection of feed but certainly enough with most kinds of meet, seafood, sushi, and dessert. The staff was very nice and friendly too! For a Chinese-Asian style of buffet at such a low price, it is the best in Omaha! read more

Been in here a few times and the buffet is great. The last time I had issues with the bus personnel trying to take my plate while I was still eating. Pretty annoying. This trip I came in with THEIR 10% off coupon. They took the coupon, but didn't apply a discount. I showed her and she took it back and then applied it. Big language barrier here so check your bill-twice. read more

This place frankly is barely acceptable. Even though they have not been open long (six months??), they receive a "C" rating from the County health department (http://www.douglascountyhealth.com/food-a-drink/food-facility-ratings?rname=Grand+China&submit=Search)!! The only worst rating one can receive is "Fair", which mean's you'll be shut down if you fall below there. THAT causes me a great deal of concern. What is going on in "the back of the house" that causes this place in a former car dealership building to get such poor ratings? I believe it's just not good cleanliness. Their Mongolian BBQ is an absolute joke.. They have about 6 items from which to choose and only a couple sauces. The employee at the grill speaks almost no English so you have to point to what you want.. He also does not understand the term "Please Cook My Food With Water So It Does Not Get So Dry" OR "Please cook my broccoli all the way". Their food on the buffet is barely warm even at the height of the dinner rush.. Most of the fried foods are far greasier than they should be and they are not on racks so the food is kept out of the grease. Instead of having an ice cream machine (expensive, at $15,000+ for a good one), they have the large 5-gallon buckets of ice cream into which you dip a scoop.. This means people who do not wash their hands are grabbing the same things, touching the ice cream, etc. 2 blocks north of there on 114th street, HuHot (West side of street) and China Buffet are far better choices, although the China Buffet on 147th & Maple near Lowe's is cleaner and better than the 114th location.

Came here on Sunday for the crab legs and they did not disappoint! Fresh food all around, the buffet was always stocked and they have a good variety. The sushi bar had a good selection, bigger then most other places I've been to anyway. Service was fast and friendly and our table always had the dishes cleared when I got back. read more

This place BARELY keeps 4-stars. The coconut shrimp with my own addition of chili paste and the nice sushi items keep this place rated high. Service is always good here. The wait staff is attentive... constantly refilling, clearing and sweeping, keeping the place clean. read more

Actually not too bad. I was prepared to see a place full of American Chinese food, but I ended up having a good time there. Even found 小龙虾!

I went for lunch during a busy Saturday thinking maybe things would be fresh. The rice was soggy and overcooked, and everything from the sushi to the standard entrees tasted strange. The food they newly brought out from the kitchen didn't taste fresh either. The lady serving us also brought the wrong drink the first time. This is the second time I've been greatly disappointed by this place. I won't ever be returning. read more

My girlfriend and I went here for lunch yesterday and we were both impressed by the variety. The food was good and we tried new things. I tried the Mongolian Grill and they did an awesome job! I didn't get to try everything, but I think I have a new favorite Chinese restaurant on my list. The only thing that I didn't care for was we had to pay for the hot tea. Other places don't charge for it. We ordered 2 but only brought 1 cup. Had to ask for another cup but that was the only thing we had to ask for. I'm going back again real soon!!! read more

My husband and I just ate here. The place has a good selection and the food was ok. But the other customers are clearly confused on how to not USE THEIR HANDS, on the food. One adult was coughing as he was getting food, our waitress was attentive to our drinks but seemed super unhappy about working. But I dont blame her since it was 80° outside, and in the building was NOTICEABLY warmer. I was melting as we ate. So, we go to get ice cream and a lady in front of us took the 1 scoop and WASHED HER HANDS off in the fountain that was meant for the scoop while not in use. Then proceed to reach down into the icecream buckets again as her hand dripped stagnant water from the scoop holding reservoir off her hand GROSS. It seemed no one understood where the scoop was supposed to go. Then...a spoon was dropped on the floor, and a customer rinsed it in the scoop reservoir and put it in the clean spoon holder. read more

The variety was exceptional. The service was good. However, it certainly was not the best Chinese buffet I have ever had. The fried rice was anemic in color and flavor. The lo mien frankly was not good. The seafood was just so-so. I really didn't care for the self-serve ice cream...not sanitary. The price was reasonable. read more

If you want tons of greasy food with no taste, then this is the place to go. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Lots to choose from, fair prices, lots of seating. Don't forget to go around the sushi so you can find the scoop your own ice cream.

Well, a lot of food to choose from but really none of it very good. If you are looking for a lot of food at a good price, this place is for you but if you are looking for quality too, then this place is not for you! read more

The lunch buffet was a great value ($7.50 adult). Much better selection compared to other smaller restaurants. They have Mongolian Grill and decent sushi. Great service - very kid friendly. read more

The majority of food items taste horrible with a couple food items.The waiters will bring you check very early in your meal.Great Ice Cream.

Chinese Buffet at its finest, Came to Omaha on a weekend get away with my mother and son. Son ate Happy Donalds as he calls it. Mom and i tried every weird food this place had to offer. From two kinds of crab legs, to frog legs, to sushi and dumplings. To squid and octopus, and stuff in shells both hot and cold. We ate very little traditional chinese food and experimented. It left me wishing we had a nice buffet like this in Kansas City. We ate very late in the evening so the place was kinda a disaster but we got great service and they keep the buffet filled even as they approached the closing hours. We enjoyed the meal and had fun bringing each other little treasures to the table as a challenge. No weird tummy issues afterwards even with all the weird delectables we tried. read more

Went with my family and boyfriend last night. The line was long but we got seated in about 10 minutes after arriving. The table was dirty when we sat down so my mother asked them to clean it again, and get a hot cup of water to clean our forks and spoons with. The cup they brought up us had dirty ring in it and made me think twice about putting anything in it. The food was okay to me.. the service is excellent, they're great to their customers and that's really appreciated. read more
