    This place took over Asuka. For a Chinese buffet, it actually wasn't that bad. Definitely some pros and cons. The Mongolian BBQ: I would definitely just come back for this. Fresh ingredients, cooked made to order, and tasted way better than other Mongolian BBQ in buffets that I have been too. It was actually flavorful. Also, the cook is very nice! So I definitely would go for the dishes that come out hot & fresh first. I had the BBQ pork & the mushroom chicken that came out fresh and both were delicious. The green beans and eggplant were also very good. The chicken wings and breaded shrimp I knew were sitting out for a bit because it was a tough bite and the shrimp was just whatever. The sesame balls also tasted like it was out long because it had a hard texture instead of soft and chewy. I also had the imitation crab and it was super oily. The seafood soup was bland and the hot and sour soup was pretty spicy and I wasn't expecting the heat. The sushi I wasn't a big fan of it. Of course, can never forget the garlic bread! Dessert wise, the orange and pink cakes were good. The cake was actually soft. Prices: Adult: $17.99 ( Lunch ) / $21.99 (Dinner) Kid (7yrs) : $8.99 (Lunch) / $11.99 (Dinner) Kid (5 yrs) : $6.99 (lunch) / not sure for dinner Drink: $2.50 each.

    My family and I came to check out the buffet since I got a two for one deal coupon in the mail. After coming here 3 times, I noticed that there were more options and freshly cooked food during lunch and right before dinner. Once you enter, they seat you and take your drink orders. You can then grab plates for food. There are a variety of like oysters, crab legs, crawfish, clams, chicken wings, vegetables, orange chicken, soups, sushi, desserts, and fruit. When you finish your plates, the staff comes around to clear those plates. The food is good and I like the variety, however, it is always the same items each time you come here. It would be nice if they added new items every so often. For the lunch prices of $17.99 and dinner at $21.99, it is a very good all you can eat deal. The sign at the front says they have hotpot, but I have not tried that. The environment gets loud when there is a lot of people. They play Chinese music in the background which can get very loud. The owner is very nice and runs the register when you are ready to pay. This is a nice cheap meal if you use the coupons and I will continue to come back.

    Reno and Sparks don't have many Asian buffet options, and this is easily one of the better choices in the area. We went for weekend dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the selection. They had oysters, mussels, fried fish, and many other selections. The Mongolian BBQ station was also pretty solid. The beef and pork they use is hot pot quality. Overall, for an Asian buffet, I was content with the selections and would definitely recommend giving it a try. The only downside was table service and restroom cleanliness. We had to ask a few times for drink refills, which took away slightly from the experience. Restroom was a little rough too. Still, the food makes it worth visiting.

    We went to Greater China Buffet yesterday for lunch. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were plenty of diners but they weren't too crowded; so they were able to seat our 6-person party immediately. The servers are always so nice and polite and the proprietors always warmly greet us whenever we dined there. The Sunday we visited, the buffet offer med a huge variety of seafood: oysters, mussels, baby octopus, shrimp and salmon; as well as typical Chinese dishes like fried rice, chow mien, general Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, potstickers and shumai plus a variety of soups, salad, sushi, Mongolian BBQ and desserts. Overall, our entire party had an enjoyable dining experience at Greater China Buffet, we ate good food, the service was attentive and the price was still pretty reasonable.

    This is a very acceptable Chinese Buffet. I felt the midweek LUNCH price of $19.99 (drinks extra) is a bit pricey, so I removed a star. At slightly less it would be 5 star. However they do provide more seafood and meat dishes than most midweek lunch buffets. Lots of shrimp and bbq ribs plus bbq pork and several fish and other meats. In addition they have a BBQ grill they prepare fresh for you when you fill your plate with raw veggies and meats. So there is plenty here to satisfy most everyone. Check other pics for close up pictures. I took distance pics to give a feel for the size. The service was great

    No no flavor very dry. Nobody really speaks English. Just really not clean. I'm surprised the health department is not here.
    Renee S.

    No one wears gloves the food literally dry and old that's not even hot. I'll stop eating it because I don't wanna get food poisoning or get sick. The only thing that's good here is customer service and the iced tea doesn't even taste like it taste like just regular water and then you have people that don't understand you so you have to get somebody else. The price that we're paying for food. It's not really good. Nobody wears gloves unsanitized just nasty. I don't even know how they got business health department needs to come out here for somebody get sick.

    Good selections and good food. I didn't like the chow mein but the orange chicken was so good. The fried shrimp is probably a close second. All seafood I had was tasty. Bathrooms weren't very clean, but I'd come back.

    I really wanted to love this. I was on the fence with the 3 star rating, but after weighing out the food quality I had to go with my gut. The service was great. Everyone was really nice and you could see they were trying to tend to the buffet food items by stiring and replenishing when necessary. The food had steam coming from each tray, but unfortunately the food was more warm and sometimes a little cold. They had a variety of seafood options and meat dishes, but were a bit greasy. Some had oil sitting on the bottom of the tray, so when scooping the food you would also scoop a bit of the liquid on the bottom. I also love chow mein and this one was unfortunately not it. It really lacked flavor. They also offered a Mongolian grill, which was nice. There wasn't a lot of direction, but after asking how it worked we were able to try it. The restaurant was really large, clean and had a lot of seating. It also offered hot pot, but we didn't know until after being seated for the buffet. Lunch was $16.99. I am not sure I would return, but hope this was just an off day for the restaurant.

    My family and I did not eat inside, we ordered online and took it to home. The staff when we got our food were kind and accommodating. The place was nice and tidy. Unfortunately the food wasn't up to par. My family and I got some different items. The Kung Pao chicken, which should've been spicy was not spicy at all. Even with added chili sauce and sriracha. The beef and veggies meal was lacking beef. Overall the food was lacking seasoning to our tastebuds. We did however appreciate the amount of food and customer service.

    Andrea D.

    First of all, the service was immaculate! The servers were kind enough to give us extra sauce and answer our questions. We ordered the dinner plates and they were packed full of food. However the flavor just wasn't it. The rice was flavorless and my kungpao chicken didn't have any spice to it. However, I did enjoy the customer service.

    Hadn't been there in years, so we thought we'd go there since it was kind of on our way home. Place was pretty empty when we got there being that it was kind of an odd time after lunch or having a late lunch. Waitress would come by and pick up plates quickly and asked if we needed anything refilled for drink wise. There was lots of varieties of food. The place was very open with lots of dining area. Was a bit weird having 80s music on one wall on TV videos and on another TV there was some type of movie going like mad Max.

    Stopped in for their lunch buffet since their recent remodel and reopening. Their new dining room was spacious with booths/tables and suitable for larger groups. I was pleasantly surprised to see they offered hot pot off to the left side of us, but off to the right as you enter. I noticed a few other tables enjoying the buffet and hot grill. It wasn't bad, a bigger variety on the line, but I wasn't wow'd by the experience. Overall I would say it was a 3 star experience for quality and price. The children's price is over priced in my opinion; I over paid for my son to eat some jello and fruit. I rounded up because our server was attentive and very welcoming as soon as we walked in. I'm glad I tried it. My dad used to sneak over here before the remodel when he was still alive, so I'm glad we gave them a chance. I'll probably come back to try their hot pot.

    The word "soup" does not appear in searches of reviews or photos at this writing. Does this buffet offer any soups and, if so, what are the choices?

    They have hot and sour soup and egg drop soup, the standards.

Time tax: Unless you are rolling with someone in a higher tier of the players club you are going to wait. Sad but true, Maybe I was at fault for arriving as late as I did around 7:20pm but I wasn't sat until closer to 8:30. The line was peculiar. So many people skipped ahead. There was only one person at the register. Occasionally the nice blonde manager lady would come over and ring a few parties up, the line went fast for a few seconds, but the chap at the register only worked fast when the manager came by. Otherwise he took his sweet time, he'd only rush if another VIP waiting to skip the line showed up. It was often, this buffet is popular and the skippers show up in force, especially late. Server Attention Tax: the servers on a normal day work hard, they close at 9:00, they warn you when 9 approaches and it's a wrap, on the seafood buffet days they are not motivated, because they stay late. They act like they aren't getting paid for the extra time. I sat down around 8:25 and no one took my drink order till like 8:40. I was worried I would get a single plate but to my surprise they didn't shut down shop right at 9:00 in fact they were still seating people. So that was cool. But the servers are in no rush. I don't want to get all Mr. Rogers about it, but if you get me my beverages sooner, I'll get out of your hair sooner, you are literally prolonging your own suffering here. The seafood Tax Rebate: the seafood is good, fresh fish, crab legs and all the regular sides. Crab is offered seasoned crab boil style or plain steamed, make sure to wander around. Overall: I love to eat good, I'm not crazy about flights, hotels or hardware stores because I don't think value necessarily is affected by where you go. (There are a few exceptions) I think service flavors cuisine, Here the service isn't adding a respectively great flavor. Sure if you spend a lot of money here you should get some priority but even Vegas doesn't forget about the little guy. I felt sorry for the people with kids in the line. Even though my server was slower than forest growth I still tipped them. But like value lost the taste was unpleasant. If you don't like being exposed to prejudice I assure you the 'regular line' WILL make you feel like you have no civil rights. But if you're able to suffer all that for a few rounds of delicious crab then you should go right on ahead, don't let me stop you

The room was okay--nothing special, but no major complaints. The Starbucks is always packed, which seems to be the norm here. Today, I visited the Second Street Marketplace downstairs. The young employee who assisted me had very poor customer service. He didn't acknowledge me, didn't offer a bag for the items I purchased, didn't say thank you, and seemed more interested in chatting with his coworkers than helping customers. Based on what I observed, I wasn't the only customer having issues with him. We also requested housekeeping service for our room. We were informed there would be a charge, which was fine with us. However, after the service, the room looked exactly the same. The bed was made, but that was about it. Now, let's talk about the restaurant downstairs. I ordered a steak, but they brought me chicken instead. I clearly told the waitress I wanted steak. When I pointed out the mistake, another older employee insisted that what I was served was steak. I'm pretty sure I know the difference between chicken and steak. Fortunately, Teddy stepped in, listened to my concern, apologized, and had my order corrected. That is what great customer service looks like. Even our waitress suggested that I just eat the chicken, but guests should never be told to accept something they didn't order. The casino and the room itself were good, and I enjoyed those aspects of my stay. However, many of the staff members could benefit from additional customer service training. To corporate, management, the CEO, owner, or whoever is responsible: please invest in better customer service training. Your guests deserve a better experience. #CustomerService #Management #Hospitality #GuestExperience
