Zero stars. The initial smell of dead fish should have stopped us at the door but we were starving so we blamed it on the fountain. I don't normally leave reviews but I'm trying to stop you from making a huge mistake. Wegman's dumpster contains better food than this place. If anything but curiosity for how gross food can get makes you walk in here, be prepared for disappointment. I gave it the benefit of doubt and tried some things but couldn't stop many of my favorites from coming right back out of my mouth and onto the plate. Nothing is labeled correctly so you get the ultimate guessing game, your prize could be fish that's still looking at you posing as chicken wings. If you like pigs feet and other oddities, maybe just maybe you would like it here...but the dining area also looks like they walked the pigs through before boiling down their tootsies and dumping them in a steam table. Be prepared to share the sauce too...if you want to drown your dish to gove it any kind of flavor, the community soy sauce is located by the sushi which I cannot review. I was scared by that time and left for the first time in my life from an all you can eat buffet with a few bites of food in my belly and my plate still half full. read more

Absolutely love this place, beautiful atmosphere and the most delicious food With icecream for desert! I'm glad this place is still around and is my and my fiancé's anniversary date spot, they have a massive pond and took in our 2 koi fish to Re-home them. If you want some delicious food for a good price I would recommend this place for anybody. read more

Very done. Best Chinese buffet in Rochester. I'm surprised this place isn't rated better. I've been to most of the buffets in town and this one is consistently clean and great options, good sushi. read more

Normally I avoid buffet-restaurants at all costs. I always find the food terribly sup-par. Today, however, I allowed myself to be coaxed by some coworkers to join them at the Grand Super Buffet for lunch. I'm surprised the establishment's name doesn't include "China" somewhere, but I suppose since its offers more than just Chinese food, it's a bit more accurate. To me, however, it really is a chinese buffet that also offers typical american food. The space is large, the tables and chairs are cheap but sturdy. Exactly the same furniture found in 90% of american chinese restaurants from the 80s, except the color scheme is not as bad here. There are 6 islands of food, one dessert, one salad, and the rest have assorted cooked foods (at least 12 dishes to each island). Sushi and "sushi" rolls are provided at a wall-attached counter. Well, I guess the geography doesn't matter much. The people: clearly eaters come here. Seeing a skinny person is not impossible, but, obviously, they are by far in the minority. It actually makes me kinda sad when I see people so obese that they can hardly get up to the buffets, but I also see them taking many trips with heaping piles of food. The endless supply of food must be a good motivator for them to get up and walk .... it's sick, I know. The food: I am not really sure I know where to begin. Again, its all terribly sup-par. Nonetheless, the chinese food dishes are emptied quickly. As a quick example: I will usually eat any kind of pizza (even bad pizza is better than no pizza ;-) but this is not true here :-(. The lunch buffet was $6.99 + tax, drinks are extra. (Dinner prices must be more.) They say there is an inverse correlation between weight and wealth. All you can eat for 6.99 helps to reinforce the actualization of the correlation. Please, please, let me never return here, or to any other buffet (except for brunch or breakfast). On a positive note, the Fried Dough Balls were very good. read more

a few years ago i loved the place. they had a hibachi open, and the food was good. i went yesterday for the first time since covid. the hibachi is closed. now its just cold, rubbery, and disgusting. on the other hand, if you're looking for the perfect laxative that will last for 18 hours afterwards, by all means give this place a try read more

Food is not fresh! Employees are rude! That was a horrible dinner! My stomach felt very bad after that dinner...

Disappointed. Large selection, but most meat dishes overcooked. Or sitting for awhile. Chicken like rubber bullets. .vegetables overcooked. Soggy. read more

I'd normally never go to any place like this and have to face my doctor for confession. There is an endless supply of unhealthy food as far as you can see, but if you are a college student looking to fill up for the weekend, this is the place. However, this was the choice for a networking event, so I went fearing the worst and it wasn't quite that bad. Nothing was delicious, but nothing warranted going back for the same thing twice. There was a salad bar IF I chose to be healthy. This was a luncheon so there were no crab legs to fight over. The service for drinks and replacing the plates was friendly and efficient, but when I want Chinese again, I'd go somewhere else for quality vs. quantity. read more

Keeping in perspective of Chinese buffets, this one was one of the better buffets I'd visited in quite some time. I'd been here several times before over the years. The fact that they've lasted for so many years is a statement in itself. This time I was here for a quick lunch. They have quite a large variety of Chinese style, American and even Japanese foods. From sushi to egg rolls to chicken on a stick, there's enough to feed a small army. Many steam tables which were well attended with the exception of the peel & eat shrimp which ran out and was never refilled. The stuffed shrimp was a bit too dense with a pork meatball type stuffing. I stayed mainly with the rice noodles and lo mein. If you're MSG sensitive, this is not the place for you. I'm not typically MSG sensitive, but was after lunch. read more

The food was luke warm and gross. I will never eat here again. The food tasted like it was reheated . We left without getting seconds. Don't waste your time and money. read more

I enjoyed everything about this place. Great soups, great variety of food, great service, great price. They also did a lot for safety of customers. I'm glad they are open for dining in. read more

Wasn't too busy for a Sunday lunch time, food was okay, but we found lots of plastic in the sushi would not recommend. read more

Grand Super Buffet - Plastic - Buffets Near Me - Rochester, New York

I took friends there, the waitresses were stone-faced and unpleasant and a few of my friends had diarrhea afterwards.

If I could give them a negative 5 stars I would. It saddens me because I once enjoyed this place. Yesterday I went and all the food was old there was even a rotten tomato in the tomato cucumber salad DONT GO SAVE UR TUMMY read more

5 Reasons to go here: 1. There's a large selection of unique (not necessarily authentic), nonstandard buffet items, such as deep fried frogs legs, whole tilapia, "pig hoofs" (unappetizing name, even more unappetizing taste), cuttlefish salad, S&P crab, head-on shrimp, boiled crawfish, and veal ribs. 2. It's relatively inexpensive ($10.95). 3. You've never had sushi, you don't want to spend $11 at a sushi place for a few pieces of top shelf nigiri that your inexperienced ass might spontaneously regurgitate, and you'd rather have unlimited pieces of bottom shelf sushi so you can tell all your friends, "Yeah, I like raw fish" (even though you're talking about the California Roll that your girlfriend dared you to try). 4. The kid for whom you nanny insists on eating crab for dinner and you stop here to see if they have it (come to find out, they only have crab legs on Fridays and Saturdays). 5. You're in high school and you want to take your boyfriend / girlfriend to an "ethnic" restaurant (you know, someplace you can get REAL oriental food). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 Reasons NOT to go here: 1. Low food turnover on weeknights means most of the fried items are either dried out (unsauced) or soggy (sauced). 2. If you're like me, you will be in constant fear that each bite of seafood will result in another 20 minutes on the toilet the next morning. 3. You've eaten high quality sushi in the past (or even Wegmans sushi) and you know what it should taste like. 4. Within walking distance, you have Haveli, D'mangu, Bombay Chaat House, King & I, and Five Guys, not to mention Sodam, Palmer's, Young's, Sticky Lips, Dibella's, Red Robin, and Chipotle right up Jefferson. 5. You choose quality over quantity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maybe my view of buffets has been forever skewed by my beloved Minado and it's lavish sushi selection, raw oysters, well-cooked crab, hibachi station, crepe station, etc., but honestly, I'd rather pay $30 for well prepared food there than $11 at Super Grand Buffet for mediocre food that's cooked hastily, dumped into trays, and left to sit in steam trays for several hours at a time. read more

Definitely didn't feel good after eating here. I came here for a work party and everyone I talked to the next day did not feel good at all :\ The sushi area had sushi that was left out for hours and was pretty warm. The "dim sum" area had stuff that was barely warm and dried out. The rest of the food didn't look very fresh... Oh and I also had some sour/foul smelling honey dew :( My stomach is still recovering a week later..... read more

Cheap asian buffet that offers a variety of food. For people who complain about the quality of the seafood/sushi/meat, y'all need to check yourselves. For the price that you're getting charged, you should be happy with how many options there are! The food is tasty and doesn't result in multiple trips to the bathroom afterwards. I definitely recommend this buffet if you and your friends are ravenously hungry and your wallets have been dieting! read more

It's a buffet... Not much NEEDS to be said about it, but I'll say it anyways. 3 stars because it's 50/50. Yes, really. The pro's - You can eat tons of food. I say food, and not "Chinese" or "Oriental" food because honestly it's not authentic in the least, but that's to be expected. It is however good for the money. On the weekends (Fri + Sat), the food goes quickly, so it's fresh. I've eaten here several times and never had a problem with getting sick like other buffets, so in terms of buffet over all, if you're going to be a proud american and eat 5 plates of food, this is the place to do it. The variety is pretty huge, and quite impressive. From mac and cheese, to bok choy mix, to meat dishes & fruits / veggies. Whatever you're in the mood for SOMETHING will satisfy it here. The Cons - If you are going there for crab you'll be horribly disappointed when you realize that there will be a few full families camping that crab for dear life, each time they bring a new dish of it out, one or two people will plop it all on their plates and be done with it. I've never seen that dish full longer than 30 seconds. The sushi is very bland. It's not to say it's horrible. But it's about the same quality you'd get from wegmans. Not good, not bad. Just somewhere in the middle. If you go on a day that isn't Friday or Saturday you're brave. The food is generally left out a bit longer and doesn't have high turn over due to limited customers. This is a buffet however, and you can't really expect them to keep tons of fresh food to feed 2 or 3 tables. It's perfectly reasonable, but, still should be mentioned. The 'whatever' fact (Not good, not bad...just whatever) - It's ~12-13 dollars. Look at that how you will. That's a very good price if you go all out and eat a ton of food. However if you're only moderately hungry, there's far better places you can get a full plate of food of higher quality to satisfy your hunger. Overall : 5.5/10 I like it for what it is, a buffet. But the food is still buffet food. read more

Hey, this place is pretty damn good. It's a buffet, yeah, it's not going to blow your mind, but guess what? It's not gonna blow a hole in your wallet either. There was an excellent variety here, all of the dishes were fresh and well maintained, and the service was pretty good too. I thought the fruit was particularly good, especially considering it's out of season. My only complaint was that the sushi left quite a bit to be desired, but with so many other choices, I hardly missed it. And if you decide to go to lunch at a Chinese buffet, with a fresh hibachi grill, and 100 different options and go for the pizza, well... jokes on you. read more

The food was mildly warm, nasty and expensive! Wings were hard and dry,, Horrible! Don't go.

There wasn't a single thing I enjoyed eating here. The food tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. Their "pizza" was especially horrible and tasted like soggy paper. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SORRY EXCUSE FOR A RESTAURANT! read more

So i have been to this location numerous times...i would say out of 10 visits, 3 of those visits were "excellent"....Which is why we kept going back. Always hoping for that reminder of our "excellent" experience. Sadly never having it. I am going to lay out exactly why this place sucks in a easy to read list. 1.The food is never as good at lunch than it is at dinner...and i don't mean a little different tasting...i am talking about A HUGE difference...For sure old food from the night before. 2.Even though the food is better at dinner, if you go on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday...and you don't eat crab legs...You will still be charged for them. 3. So they have this roast-beef that i actually think is good....you have to slice it yourself and it taste like it was marinated in A1. Well i have gone on a friday for dinner once and it was there. Then i returned for dinner another time on a friday and it was not there. In it's place a giant steamed canned Spam. Yup You heard me...a Giant steamed canned spam. So not only was i charged for crab legs i do not eat...i did not even get to eat the one thing i actually went there for. As i left i asked the host Why they did not have the roast beef...and he responded that they only put it out when "there is a big crowd" Um that's funny because i felt like there was a pretty big crowd that night. He also said that they always put it out on Sunday. Well Guess what? We went on a Sunday some time after....and wouldn't you believe it...when i went to look for that tasty roast beef...a GIANT CANNED "STEAMED" SPAM was in it's place. I still got charged for those crab legs that i don't eat. I have probably went 4 times and that roast beef was not there. 4.Ok you might be thinking i am reaching with this one...But i am not. So no matter what time of day you go, there is one spot at the buffet that ALWAYS smells like body odor (BO) After a few visits and always smelling this same putrid smell at the same spot...it starts to get in your head...Is it me?? Couldn't be. I bathe and wear antiperspirant. Isit another customer who is always at the buffet the same time as me? Well no that theory went out the window when i smelled it at a time with no other people near by. Finally...after some "sniffing"..I nailed it...it's the vat of instant mashed potatoes. Not sure if they make them with dirty water or what but those mashed potatoes smell like a 6th grade boys locker room. Sadly on my last visit to this place(probably my 15th time) I went for lunch. The food was so nasty i decided to get those mashed potatoes n gravy along with some other unusual items i never would get at a chinese buffet, because all the items i usually get were gross on this visit. Folks I took one bite and felt like i was on a episode of fear factor. 10 mins into my meal(second plate) I left a full plate of food...asked for the check. Tipped the nice waitress...and left. Never again. read more

My goodness, the amount of salt in everything was overpowering! The whole baked perch fish was good but everything else was low quality. I tried a tiny portion of many dishes and I would not get seconds of any of them. One hour after eating My stomach is not well and I am literally sitting on the throne as I write this on my cell phone. I will not return. Nothing was special nothing was great. Poor or mediocre foods and wayyyy to much salt. read more

I always thought I will never write a negative review on yelp as it might be damaging for a small restaurant, but this place made me do it !! It's not just that the food is awful and cold and tastes like yesterday's leftover, it's not just that the place is smelley like an open-air fish market, it's not just that the place is super overpriced, they are extremely rude. They made us change our seats three times (with my elderly mom) across the whole f-ing restaurant and demanded proofs that we have paid already in the middle of our meal (they makeyou pay as you enter, so it was unnecessary). We still tried to eat the food because we had paid and were famished from a long travel - and failed ... and trust me when I say this, I have never tasted anything worse and tasteless than this. If there were a negative star, I would have used it. My wife ate fruits, just fruits, for seventeen dollars. Tl;dr: If you have two options: starve and die versus eat at this place, die. Even better, walk a block and treat yourself to a subway, as I am going to do next. read more

I've been to the buffet twice, and I was very impressed with its quality both times. The selection of food is amazing. There are 4 rows of food to choose from, and it varies from American foods such as pizza, hot wings, and crab legs to what you would expect from a typical Chinese Buffet. The sushi bar was impressive for a ~$12 buffet, and the servers were very helpful and kind as well. It has a nice atmosphere, but nothing out of the ordinary or extremely impressive. In short, it's a very cheap yet tasty Chinese Buffet. I will definitely go again! read more

My friend and I went here, and we were absolutely disgusted by everything. I love chinese food, but this place does no justice to the chinese cuisine. We both felt awful after eating here, and I had a stomach cramp from this place. I will never go to this place again. read more

Not just a Chinese buffet. Not just a grand buffet, but a GRAND SUPER BUFFET! The name says it all, and yet it says nothing other than leading you to believe there will be rows of fried food lathered in butter and most likely fried. With that imagery in mind, Grand Super Buffet (hereby known as GSB) doesn't disappoint. There were certainly rows and rows of food that came in shades of glimmering reds, yellows, and oranges, with a few spots of green mixed in (gotta keep it healthy right?). I wish I could remember what the inside foyer looked like but I was quite distracted by the holographic depictions of scenes from the bible displayed a long a table. We were whisked to our seats, waters were set at the the table and then we were piling food on to plates. GSB follows the trend of a Chinese Buffet offering sushi as well, and it also follows the trend of the sushi being mediocre (does anyone really attend a buffet expecting high-quality sushi?). Expect a few variations of rolls with fake crab, and some ebi that looks a bit flat. Here's the thing with GSB: it knows what it is and it works with it. For about $7.00, I had an all you can eat buffet where my water was always filled up, empty plates were cleared incredibly fast, and the food was worthy of a $7.00 buffet (not mind-blowing, but not amazing). My lunch buddies at work are two guys who have appetites as big as mine so there are plenty of days where we're looking for a big meal for a small price and GSB provides that. Will I come back next week or next month? Probably not, but I'll keep it in mind for the next time I'm craving a meal of gluttony. read more

I've never eaten here and I never will. I work at one of the businesses within that plaza and I've witnessed on several occassions their cooks inside the dumpsters in the back of the building. They are wearing their work clothes, including aprons. Now I don't know about you but I honestly don't think anyone working in FOOD SERVICE should be dumpster diving, least of all in their work clothes. read more

Grand Super Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Rochester, New York

Went here for dinner on a Thursday night , after trying the other two Chinese buffets in the RIT area. Price was $12 and you get 6 rows of food. Food was pretty average , you got ribs, clams, Chinese food, and a selection of sushi and grill. Service was average but everyone was nice. Place was quite empty and quiet at 7 pm. Overall this is a decent location for students and adults and children. Have yet to try this place on a weekend so I can't describe the extras they will serve on those days. Price and quality is average so try it out and see for yourself. Their Ice Cream selection is 8 different types. I've only tried their vanilla and it's good. BOL folks read more

See all

DO NOT waste your time. 30 bucks for disgusting food. Save your money and go to the pizza joint on the corner. Burger King is heads and tails above this place. NEVER NEVER NEVER again! read more

The hot food was hot! The cold food was cold! Service was prompt and courteous. Friday night, arriving late we expected empty buffet pans. No! They kept filling them well after 30 minutes before closing. Including all of the seafood dishes! The price,was under $26 for two adults. Bottled beer was only $3.50! Definitely will return again! read more

I wouldn't even give them this star, but needed to do so in order to rate this place. Food was terrible, tasteless, many things not replenished. Only vegetable fried rice w/ barely any vegetables in it. Service was ok but food was poor. read more

Food was gross. Service was non-existent. The koi pond was cool. No thanks Rochester.

Large variety and pretty inexpensive but it's nothing special. The servers were pretty inattentive and ambivalent toward us. The desserts were all disgusting, you're better off having more of the 'Chinese' food on offer. Good for if you're starving and on a budget. Otherwise, skip it. read more

A friend and I visited this place on recommendation from my classmate. Overall, its decent. The venue, ambiance, and the music - good. Coming to the actual food part - well, I've been to buffets before and I usually hog onto everything - appetizers, main dishes and desserts. This time, I just had the appetizers and desserts (a lot of them) . While they two were delicious, the main dishes weren't so great. The rice was bland, so were the noodles. The soups - I've tasted better at other places. The sesame chicken was dry, but weird at the same time - probably soggy. Clams weren't that great either (I threw them away). My friend had a go at the sushi and says they were good. Overall, at that $7-8 price, its worth a shot. read more

this buffet is shit. customer service is soooo shitty very rude and disrespectful and the food was garbage. not worth your hard earned money. 30 dollars for 2 of us that didn't enjoy the meal and they asked us for a tip read more

It has steamed fish (too salty), some seafood(just so so), fried food, etc. just like a typical buffet, don't expect too much but it will fill you up. We stopped by here coming back from Niagara Falls on the way to Boston. $15 per person as a group price but cash only. read more

Horrible quality food. Went to this buffet for lunch with some friends and ended up with a terrible stomach ache. Really messed up my system. Food is extremely greasy and looked like it had been sitting out for several hours. I'm not sure what else I expected from a $10 all you could eat buffet but it might have been the worst meal I have ever had in my life. Would not recommend ever. Do not go here. read more
