This is a secret 5 Star Review although I chose 3 stars. I chose three stars to keep this institution's cred's up so to speak. It is law that the only people who yelp on average are 25 year old post-grad females who are looking for cleanliness, community, and an ambience soothing to them. I ACTIVELY AVOID Chinese buffets who have MORE THAN three stars. I am a disciplined professional as well. Let's examine. There is a necessary push and pull (cosmically) where the more and trendy ambience-exuding a restaurant is--pure flavor is sacrificed. Case in chief: you know as well as I do that this cosmically determined phenomenon is most apparent in Tacos (the more rustic and rugged the joint, the more those Taco jointz are gonna be DA (you know what). Now back to our observee "Grand Palace." Its name is almost comically stereotyped. It sits on the corner of a shopping mall in a very blighted and impoverished area. On its Google photo, its "L" in "Grand Palace" is missing. I picture it flickering in the night like the kiss of that one that got away that time in undergrad. Walking in, it is dark--sweetly dark with flashes of red, and light dragon art centered as the steamy bar hisses a savory whisper that draws you in. The room and mixed scent signals almost hugs you a little too hard. Behold the juicy chicken on a stick that is purely fried (not red, not dry, not half-assed as usual). I am talking sweetly juicy. Colonel eat your heart out. Behold the seemingly mundane standard-issue broccoli and beef flanking General Tso and sweet/sour puffs with that red blessing handy and waiting for you like an overly eager date. Get all your normal extremely sweet meats as an adornment for the reason you are here (the rice and the three kinds of noodles). Cut that sugar with that blessed "spicy chicken" that lives up to its banal name and presentation. Onions and jalapenos (like notes from home on a sojourn) join on the sordid affair. They have "rib tips" floating in a red sea of sweet sauce. Oh, add these to whatever you've piled 7 miles high by now. They will be like midnight wine-stains on your dish. The evidence of the crime of pure passion. No sushi. This place is too true to form. It is too powerful in its own right to try to keep up with the economics the place finds itself (this vanquished little town). Pro-Tips: 1) Bring a $20 spot for lunch and that takes care of tip and all. Quick exit this way (even if they drag bringing the ticket). 2) Adorn your plate with the fresh green onions (intended for the soups you may wisely skip). 3) Don't overlook the cheesecake/sponge cake (cornbread looking joker) on the desert bar. read more

Grand Palace Chinese Restaurant - Some of the Best Chicken on a Stick and spicy chicken in these parts. - Chinese Near Me - Grenada, Mississippi

This restaurant offers a buffet with extremely limited choices. The crawfish were good, not many to choose from. They had cold boiled shrimp and it was good. Only a few vegetables choices. I usually try the Hot n Sour Soup however I didn't this go around. They charge $15.95 or $16.95 with a drink. Watch your bill, I ordered water and the bill showed "tea", they adjusted the bill. There are plenty of tables just not much in customer appreciation in my opinion at the counter. Wait staff was better than management. read more

See all

this food is absolutely disgusting. We went in at 2:30 for the very first time. we are in the area working so we thought we would try out the local Chinese food. This place is so disgusting. The food was cold and old. It looked like it had been sitting out since 11 o'clock maybe even 10 AM. this was 2:30 PM on top of that. They charged when their Select selection is super super limited. I won't return and I will not recommend. read more

The food in the service are great. The people are very friendly would definitely go there again.

I've lived in grenada all my life and I've NEVER had issues with this place, it's genuinely one of my favorite restaurants, to the point where when I was younger the original owner gave my family free calendars. The food is great (at least in my opinion) the service has always been nice, and it's surprisingly quiet in a nice relaxing way, overall good restaurant. 9/10! read more

Service was great! We prefer to order off the menu, but the buffet is pretty good too.

Love it here! Had the eggplant in hot garlic sauce! One of my absolute favorite dishes! They are super nice and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. read more

Waitress service and ambience is . Quality of food is average. I can make better quality Chinese stir fry meals from scratch at home since i raised around Chinese amd vietnamese cuisine in Honolulu Hawaii. I do love their string green beans with onions on their buffet line. read more

I felt I should warn others about this place. (1) food wasn't good and few options most not edible on buffet, (2) Poor service didn't get a drink the whole time, (3) once we got fed up and just came to get our ticket they charged $40 for two people which just added to the burn of stopping in this place for lunch. Never go there, which I could rate 0 stars which would be more accurate. read more

Wife and myself went to eat the buffet tonight and it was terrible food tasted old and freezer burnt !! We couldn't finish our plates !! Now it's an hour later and we both feel sick !! I told the owner when I went to pay our ticket and her response was don't eat off the buffet our your food hot !!! REALLY ?? For the two of us it cost 35.00 !! We will never go back but she didn't care read more

I've been going to this restaurant for over a decade. Wally and his family are great people and run a great business.

I've been eating here for years and the quality has been the same all of those years. Yes it's not the best food but it is consistent. They are pricey for this area which sucks but it's better than Great Wall. I do wish they would commit to better quality but I'm not holding out much hope. Try the WonTon soup. read more

CLOSED ON MONDAYS but not per YELP or the sign on their door. This needs to be updated. But, we went next door to PAP's for lunch. Homecooking buffet. We wanted chinese food but Pap's was good. read more

They don't answer their phone for orders or either answer and hang up in your face. The service is terrible and they only have like 5 waiters. read more

Excellent food. Everything is cooked well. Large variety on menu. Friendly staff. Owner even checked on my table to make sure everything was prepared right. read more

I've eaten here twice and I don't like just any Chinese food. I've had the Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce and my sweetie had the General Tso's Chicken and Chicken with Black Bean Sauce. The owners were very nice and made our meal to order. We added good veggies and steamed rice. Very good food overall. read more

I've only lived in Mississippi for about 6 months 3 of those here in Grenada and I've never ate or had the desire to eat at this establishment. I assumed it's the cliche all you can eat restaurant. It is. I picked a to go plate from the buffet the fried rice looks like Uncle Bens rice so I passed and choose the lo mein noodles as a base for my meal. Lord knows those were some very bland watery spaghetti noodles. If I weren't having a lazy day I would've just cooked at home. I won't be back if your starving & don't want to cook hey go head. Otherwise go home and cook. # It's now 30 minutes after eating my wet noodle meal and I'm still hungry. read more

PROs -Chicken and Broccoli (off menu) was pretty good. I could tell that a real, good, Chinese cook had prepared it. -Served Tsing Tao beer -Pleasant waitress who seemed interested in doing a good job CONs -Two girls whose mothers probably worked there. They were obnoxious and loud sometimes, hanging out at the front door pestering customers walking in and later, playing in the dining areas. At other times, the older one (maybe age 10) was bussing tables, carrying around high chairs, etc. I'm sure she wasn't old enough to be doing that. -DIning area was trashy. Used napkins, fortune cookie wrappers, etc under and around tables. My dad used the restroom and said it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week...and he's not a picky person. -Beef was rubbery. -Waitress had long painted fingernails that pressed into the rice as it was served. If I had closed my eyes and ears and only tasted the food, I'd give this place a 3-star rating (4 if they'd upgrade to a better grade of beef). But with the overall lack of cleanliness (Health Grade is a "B") and chaos caused by the unsupervised girls, it's a 1. P. S. Customers are routed past the buffet on their way in. If you like a whole lot of cheap fried stuff, then I recommend it. 'Cause there's a whole lot of cheap fried stuff that's just waiting to clog those arteries. Nothing healthy in sight other than one pan of chicken and broccoli. Mosey on up to the trough, y'all! :-( read more

I usually get take out from The Grand Palace. My boys and I LOVE their teriyaki chicken and their chicken fried rice. The staff had always been very kind and helpful. For a small town such as Grenada, I think this is a good restaurant Chinese restaurant. read more

This is hands down the worst chinese buffet I have ever eaten. The only good thing on their is the sweet and sour chicken, the rest is just horrible....How it attracts so many people is beyond me. I would rather go to the Great Wall and eat in my car than that! read more

Not very impressed with the variety in the buffet, the seafood was lacking a little. Service was very good and fast. If only they added better items and more seafood. Price was fair. read more

Really great food and selection. Nice staff and friendly atmosphere. Great Chinese food.

The first time the fortune cookie was better then the food. $24 dollars wasted for me and my wife too eat

I don't understand the bad reviews. I eat here at least twice a week and it is fresh and well cooked, not greasy like some places. you have to know what to order like any restaurant. they have the best duck I have eaten anywhere. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, anywhere. The buffet is great, but if you really want a treat order something from the menu. The 4 Happiness is my favorite dish. read more
