The food is Ohk not bad , but what I didn't like is that they charge me a 15% tip that was for the kitchen and then on top I have to tip the server is what my server said read more

You will find lots of variety here. When I am starving I love to go here since its an all you can eat buffet. Its right by chuck e cheese, so i usually like to make a whole day of it when i go with my fam. Eat here first, then play at chuck e cheese after :) this place is huge, so theres usually plenty of seating. It is self serve so as soon as youre seated you can go and serve yourself. Would recommend when visiting NY! read more

Needs to improve used to be a good buffet but the prices and quality of food is not there.. also the servers are money hungry and if there is change on the table they will think it's a tip? Also the place smells like a bathroom. read more

Ordered: Dinner Buffet (~$20): Mon-Thurs after 4pm price Aya's take: If you're coming to a buffet knowing the price then there's a fair chance you just want to eat a bunch of food without thinking too much of the quality. And that's exactly what you get here. Surprisingly, they have a variety of seafood options (different types of shrimp, crab, calamari, etc.) which is great at that price point. Most of the food was mediocre, greasy, or lacked freshness. But you get what you pay for. I didn't find it to be very clean (I had to clean the shrimp myself and got grossed out after a while). The appetizer and dessert options were lacking. All in all, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here let alone come back, but if you find your way here, make the best of it by getting the seafood options only. read more

This is not a knock your socks off place. It's just good Chinese buffet at a great price. The selection is good. Many different options and wide variety. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty and fresh. They don't make a while lot of each item so they always refresh. The manager is always talking temperatures of the food. Rab is available in the evenings and on weekends I hadn't been there in years. It's not the fanciest but it's definitely worth the visit. read more

After seeing good reviews, I wanted to try this spot myself. The servers showed natural friendliness throughout. They prioritize fresh components, proper seasoning, and correct cooking. This restaurant has a comfortable setup. In general, the employees were helpful and I plan to come back. read more

The restaurant wasn't expensive. The food was terrible and mostly undercooked and cold. I did not enjoy the food at all. Utensils were unsanitary. I won't eat here again. My experience was not pleasant. I will not return read more

They renovated this place! Wow. Big difference in terms of looking more clean and modern. Would be nicer if they could update the furniture too. This is the first buffet place that we tried during the pandemic and it's been about 7 days since our dining without any symptoms. *fingers-crossed*. At the entrance, they took our temperature and contact information and we were provided plastic gloves. They skip tables to put ample spaces between dining guests. We went there early in the morning and there were very few diners. Nothing has changed as far as the buffet-style food. I've heard of a few buffet places switching to ordering from a list and food is served to the table but this place continues to allow diners to get their own food from the aisle. A bit scary during these times, high chance of cross contamination, but again - we were there early and the first ones to dine. The quality of the food is akin to cheap Chinese food take-out. Not really the greatest but you get what you pay for. Their not expensive compared to other buffet places. What they offer is a ton of mediocre food at a low price and I typically dine here just so I can get my cravings satiated. The key to "enjoying" this place is to keep your expectations low and have your fill of the food. So long as you don't leave this place hungry, you get your money's worth. read more

The worst buffet ever my mom had to go to the urgent care because how bad the food is. It's also unsanitar. The price is very expensive. The water pitcher they serve the water in is not clean. And the shrimp is not fresh. The chicken doesn't taste like chicken. The icecream is hard to scoop you have to forcefully scoop the icecream. Absolutely horrible. read more

It's ok. The place always smells a bit off. And the staff is about as unfriendly as they come. But it's ok. Not terrible.

This place has horrible food disgusting people I got a half pound of shrimp, seafood boil, and it says that it comes with potatoes and corn but then when I ask them it comes does it come with potato and corn? They said no I paid $12 for half pound of shrimp that is supposed to come with corn and potato horrible service very very obnoxious and rude front desk worker they need to learn, cleanliness and manners. read more

I've come here twice. Once just for takeout bubble tea - which was great. The second time for the sit-down buffet. The place is enormous and the variety of food is vast. It is loud and can get pretty crowded, so not a relaxing atmosphere. There are a lot of seafood options, but all of the seafood that I tried (except for the stuffed clams) tasted strange. I did not like it at all. Surprisingly their potato salad was my favorite thing that I tried here. The boneless spareribs were dried out like they had been sitting under the heating lamps for days and the pepper steak was too chewy. I paid nearly $20 for just one small plate of food because the quality was so poor I didn't want to eat any more . The wait staff is incredibly rude. They look and sound absolutely miserable to be there. I'd stop in for bubble tea again, but there has to be a better Chinese buffet elsewhere in the neighborhood. I'd pass on this one. read more

The food was okay, Just is crazy how much money they ask for tips, and they only serve us water soda etc. read more

Place is disgusting, the food looks and taste old and they force every single person that eats a $ 4 tip. I highly do not recommend anyone eating here! I am lucky I wasn't thrown up the next day. read more

Worst food ever, DO NOT GO! The food was disgusting felt like I was eating slob and the customer service was rude.

This place has the most disgusting food ever. I went for my first time with a friend today and it's absolutely nasty. The calamari is old and so dry, it taste like they have been using the same calamari for a week. The shrimp, chicken, rice, salmon (everything lol) is cold and is so bland. The tables are extremely dirty and if you look on the floor under the tables, food every where and they don't even clean anything properly. The water cups have smudges all over them. The water has little white stuff floating in it, and the waiter asked for tip, after all he did was bring a fork and knife to the table. Please do not eat here, YOU WILL GET FOOD POISONING!!!!!! read more

Wish I could give this place a negative star, 1 star is way too generous. This place is disgusting, from the sticky tables and chairs, to the nasty unflavored food, to the the subway station has a cleaner bathroom, and to the bugs flying around. I never encountered such a place, sorry to say I wasted my money there. Then the staff was rude and demanded tips, and scoffed at the amount given. This place should be shut down, they don't even have their dept of heath rating visible. I am surprised my family didn't suffer from food poisoning. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. STARVING IS BETTER. read more

New Grand Buffet - Empty should've took this as a warning - Chinese Near Me - Long Island City, New York

Place is extremely dirty. The booth I was sitting in was broken, I could feel my ass going through the seat. The food portions are extremely small now. The food is cold, it sits out for what seems hours. The clams looked and tasted dry. Sushi is horrendous the rice is dry. Beware you can get better food somewhere else. Your better off going to your local chinese place for a lunch special. P.S We got explosive diarrhea after. Thanks for cleaning out my intestines . PSA: listen to all the reviews on here. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!! If not youll be running into the toilet at Marshalls. YUCK!!!! read more

Would give this 4 stars. Honestly it's just the seats and placing. Some seats have scratched and peeled up leather but other than that the food is honestly good. Everything u want is there. They even have fruits and cake. read more

DON'T EAT HERE. The food is old, stale and has no character or flavor. The staff is rude and untrained in customer service. The bathroom is horrendous. Here's some options close by to consider 'Homemade Tacqueria' or 'Villa Brazil' on Broadway. If you are looking for Chinese, try the options that are available on Broadway. read more

Pepto Bismol should have this restaurant as a sponsor, honestly. The food is bland and sits in the trays for too long. Restrooms have urine and toilet paper all over the place. Dining tables and chairs are sticky with spilled soda from God knows when. If the public area is this dirty, imagine what goes on behind the kitchen. read more

Absolutely horrible , This place really sucks..... their sushi was old I had to peel the fish off the top of the rice it was stuck it was so thin and dry. If you're into fried food knock yourself Out but be sure to check your cholesterol after. Once again absolutely horrible. Nothing new or grand about this place. I'll never go back, "what the hell was I thinking" read more

New Grand Buffet - the front of this place you should not go too. THE FOOD IS GROSS. THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND THE FOOD HAS NO TASTE. - Chinese Near Me - Long Island City, New York

This buffet is absolutely horrid. I didnt know whether id die from the food first or the interior of this restaurant. The sheer fact that my friend recommended this place made me rethink our friendship. The food is soulless and honestly id rather eat a subway rat than ever go near this buffet. The sushi was horrifying and the pizza was amazingly garbage. Also the mighty crab? What crab... Finest restaurant in ohio. read more

Just when you didn't hate life enough, along comes New Grand Buffet. AYCE fans everywhere are likely to be disappointed with the spread here, despite the group friendly setting and more than recession friendly prices. The biggest problem is the quality, which is somewhat ironic since it is a buffet, but even that standard has reached a new low. Located along the the shopping mall strip where most businesses struggle to gain any love, New Grand is one of the only food options on that part of the street. Parking is located above the facility or on the street. Just to note, the roof top parking is free with validation from stores. People who are used to eating at less than desirable Chinese buffets, may find lots in common with their go-to and New Grand. For starters, the decor is as antiquated as one would expect: dead walls, virtually the same kind of chairs / tables (do they all come from one company or something?) along with a similar layout for food. The bathrooms are in a word, were neither grand nor new. They were just plain nasty. Finally, the food is the typical hodgepodge mix of mediocre items. Nothing most people would want to get caught dead eating, but sometimes the general allure is simply food itself, not the expectation that it's all going to be downhill from there. The most reliable item might be their crab snow legs and the rest of the seafood (sushi, crabs, etc.) and random Chinese + American (mac and cheese? pizza? oh my) entrees are visually quite unappetizing. Lastly, the service like in any restaurant will have its ups and downs. Unfortunately, it's been set to down every time I've been here. Slow to attend to our group, rarely filling in waters without asking, and the bill is better paid when walking straight up to the cash register. I guess that part makes sense, it is a a self-serve buffet after all. read more

Worst experience ever I had at this buffet. Lunch buffet price was only 10 dollars. I wanted to try because price looked good. Nope. Actually while I was picking my foods one of guest start fighting with workers. It became really big fight. Dishes were broken, napkins and tables where everywhere:( Fight was about 5 mins. When they said call to 911 workers said no no, don't call to 911. It was really mess. After all things happened my and my other 2 friends appetite was gone. Waitress just came with check. Did I ask you? Restroom was disgusting. I posted pics even. Food wasn't good. I left hungry this place. They don't deserve for tip after all but we tipped to be polite. Do NOT recommend anyone this place!!! read more

Just the outside appearance of this NEW GRAND BUFFET made me want to go back to the bayside part of northern. Nothing grand about it!! if your taste buds don't work properly and you only care to have a full stomach, then yes please come here. The food is taste bad, the soup is bland and tasteless, even the ice cream is blah. The space is cramped, the bathrooms are shitty, and while we are eating the guy is sweeping so dust is flying into my food. It's cheap but i wouldn't even come here if it was $5 for dinner buffet. ONLY MY SPRITE TASTED GOOD. DAMN. read more

It's just like any other Chinese buffet you know, good selection, setup and the unattended 5 year old walking around putting there hands on the sushi. The only thing that was different it that the waiter didn't haggle or ask (are you tipping).. I gave about 20% and the gig was very happy. How do I know.. he look at me , smiled and gave a slight thank you wave. read more

Reading most of the previous Yelp reviews, I was definitely skeptical about coming here and obviously fearing the worst. Some of the reviews were so dire, that I decided to go to confession as well as prepare a living will just before I came here for lunch. So first disclaimer is that I will readily admit that I don't have the highest standards. However, I prefer to call that side of me practical. Keep in mind that it is an All You Eat Buffet and lunch is only $9.69. So this review takes into account quality, quantity, as well as value. Here is my rating system when it comes to an AYCE Buffet. 1 star = I didn't have to visit the Emergency Room within 24 hours of eating there. 2 stars = I didn't see any rodents and roaches and was able to eat most of the food. Price is very cheap. 3 stars = Most food is edible with at least 1 item tasting pretty good and service being good. This is where I am rating New Grand Buffet. To all the naysayers and skeptics..Come on cheap asses, it's only $9.69 for AYCE lunch with lots of choices! What the hell are you expecting, Kobe steak, French champagne, and a maitre d dressed in a tux? Maybe you want to throw in some belly dancers and a massage while you're at it? Are you the same dude that walks into your local McDonalds and orders off the Dollar Menu and expecting your burger to taste better than Shake Shack? Are you the same dude that makes a prearranged date with a woman that resembles Roseanne Barr and expects her to show up on your date 2 days later magically transformed into Jennifer Lawrence? Let's get real here. O.K., first of all, this place is huge. All are booth seating which fits 4. When I walked in on a Wednesday at 12 noon, the place couldn't have been more than 15% full. I was promptly greeted, seated and the waitress took my drink order right away. Buffet setting is in the back offering lots of variety of Chinese food, American Food, soups, Sushi, as well as a "Mexican Corner". My strategy was to stay with the Chinese food. I'm adventurous but I ain't dumb so I'm not touching raw fish in a buffet. Since this is a Chinese restaurant with Chinese staff, common sense tells me that you can count on 1 hand how many households in China are cooking fajitas, tacos, fried chicken, or making mac & cheese so no way am I going to try those. So I tried about a dozen of the Chinese dishes including their fried noodles, Dim Sum, Tso's Chicken, Lemon Chicken, pork chops, fish, etc. I would say half of the food tasted pretty bland but at least edible. Some of the dishes actually were pretty good such as the Dim Sum and the pork roast. The one thing I found inedible was the sausage so I promptly spit it out and crumpled that in a napkin so as to not get charged for leaving any leftovers. There is also a pretty big dessert station. Had 2 pieces of different cakes as well as made myself an ice cream cone from their machine. The ice cream cone with a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream actually was my favorite item! So 2 plates full of food, 2 pieces of cake, and an ice cream cone for only $9.69 is a definite win in my book. I know some complained about the service but the service was excellent when I was there. Some complained about the interior but it was totally fine for me. After all, I'm chewing on the food and I'm not chewing on the wooden legs. Good grief! So will this be a 5 star dining experience? No. If you want one, go on Open Table and book a table at Boulad or however you spell it. Will I go back? You bet my cheap ass I will! read more

went here for dinner a few nights ago- we aren't from NYC (and we don't look like we're from here either) we are traveling here, and there were 3 or 4 waitresses standing near our table who were being extremely judgmental and rude, clearly talking about us in their language so we couldn't understand them. we were polite and friendly, complimenting the (gross) food, and being respectful, so i'm not sure why- other than the fact we were white in a predominantly POC area. the food was also pretty gross and it was expensive considering the quality of food! $20 for a bland and not fresh dinner! so yeah, wouldn't recommend especially if you're white. i honestly wouldn't have left a review if it wasn't for the workers, i really hate leaving bad reviews but i felt this one was necessary :/ read more

New grand buffet has failed again! This is my third and last visit at new grand buffet. I read the comment from the manager, Jason Z, that the buffet will offer fresh food and have more variety of foods. I disagree with him, sorry because today I went back to this restaurant to see if they renovated the interior with more fresh dishes from the buffet table. However when I went inside, it's still the same since two years ago. The interior part of the buffet, smh... it still haves the same interior designs, the same rundown ceilings, and the same shitty landscape portrait of China that you seen in every local Chinese restaurants. Also, the buffet table is still the same, along with the greasiest dishes that I'm still afraid to grab it. Speaking of the food, two years ago I only grabbed two dishes that look fresh, but now I grabbed four dishes to test them if they're fresh or not, but they failed. The pork dumplings taste quite of hard and stale, the chicken taste a bit awful, the broccoli taste fine and so does the rice, and the dim sum taste so salty and oily, I felt like I was about to passed out because the amount of sodium that they put on the dim sum is about 900mg. You right Jason Z, this is not my taste and I will never going to dine there again!!! read more

The service of this restaurant is not ok because if u come in with a lot of people they will said each person is 25 bucks like wth

Ate here yesterday because my boyfriend saw this place and he decided to give it a try..... Today, I have food poisoning. Also, the bathroom is HORRIBLE. It seemed like someone hadn't been in there to clean it up in HOURS. Also, there's no place to change your baby in the bathroom. Some lady was literally cleaning her daughters butt (with poop) in the sink.... This place is gross. read more

The food here is pretty decent. They have a good variety of food but it doesnt taste as good as it looks. They do switch things up and add something new every once in a while. The prices arent that bad. Lunch prices are $8.99 while dinner is $9.99. Not bad but the food could be a lot better. Their dessert selection isnt that great either. The ice cream is pretty decent. Tbh if there was another buffet around, i would go there instead. The staff is friendly but it doesnt make up for the food. Otherwise the prices are good but the food could be better. read more
