We had a really good experience at Grand Buffet! I feel like this buffet can be hit or miss, but…read moretoday was very fresh! I think I would have given them a 3.5 stars if you could give half stars. Monday-Friday they have a lunch buffet for adults from 11 am-3:30 pm for $14.70! This seems to be the cheapest price, but can also come on other days and times (photo attached with updated prices). You can also get a takeout box which they weigh to see how much it would cost you. We immediately got a seat and were able to get our food no problem! The restaurant was very busy and people really seemed to be enjoying coming. They do have a "wall of shame" when you first come in with people that have left the restaurant without paying for their food. I have never seen this before and find it interesting they screenshot their security cameras and print off photos of people to put on the wall! I hate they have had so many people leave without paying...just wanted to mention it since it was a shock to me the first time! The restrooms are very dark and not super clean. The water does get hot though! Overall the food was really good! The sushi wasn't super fresh tasting but other than that liked the other food.

We buy take-out at this business atleast twice a month so our cost is usually predictable. We…read morenoticed whenever this cashier-Manger, listed on our receipt, is not working, our price is lower. He is an asian man and always there on Sundays. Twice we challenged him on our total because it seemed high. When we got our phone to do the math, he immediately lowered it by 10%. On the receipt during our last visit, he first said it was $53.74. After the challenge, he lowered it to $49.22. The receipt read total of $53.74 if tip of $4.52 offered. This has happened twice, that we know of. Be careful when you order take-out. We should be allowed to see the weight of the food. Deceptive business practices seem to be occuring here. That 10% tip could greatly add up. Who leaves a tip for take-out?

We ordered : Beef Lo Mein - the noodles were fine but the beef was terrible. The consistency of the meat felt like you're eating chewed up gum. They did follow my request on not adding veg to the lo mein so that's what earned them the second star on the review. General Tsos Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken, both were fine. Very standard but the sweet and sour chicken was a bit on the dry side but it's okay. Fried scallops were fine. A bit dry but not bad. Chicken with broccoli - I specially asked for this in garlic sauce and they did just that so thank you so much, this goes into the second star of the review. This meal was fine as well. The shrimp roll was absolutely terrible. It was probably the worst egg roll/shrimp roll I have ever had in my life. The cabbage tasted like some kind of cleaning product or disinfectant. The shrimp was absolutely disgusting and the size of my thumbnail. It was just -1000/10 Overall this is a 2.5-3/5 for me, but I will not be ordering from here again.

I too have passed this place for over 30 years and never stopped in. The restaurant was very neat and clean on the inside, to go only style but, a few seats available to dine in. The service was prompt and super friendly as well as professional, prices are beyond reasonable. Now the food. I ordered shrimp egg fu young along with wonton soup. Starting with the soup, it lacked flavor, the dumplings were doughy and undercooked however I did enjoy all the veggies and pork pieces in side the soup especially the actual fried wontons. Unfortunately the dumplings were undercooked and I couldn't finish due to the gummy and chewy texture of the dough. Shrimp egg fu young is a dish that I must try at any restaurant when available this was no exception to the rule. The presentation was beautiful mouthwatering but once I bit into the egg foo yong, I got nothing but grease in my mouth. It didn't taste like anything but a bland fluffy grease pocket, and once I spat it out. Nothing but clear grease came out. my mouth was coated with a film of grease in no way could I finish that. I can only share my personal experience and unfortunately it wasn't great. Crazy part is I'm not opposed to giving them another shot with different items it will be a good while if I do decide to return but my initial experience wasn't the best food wise and although cheap it was a waste of money because it all went into the trash
