I am struggling between rating this 3 vs 4 stars. I will say my real rating is 3.5 stars, but I…read morewill give them 4 since Yelp still doesn't allow half stars. Overall verdict: give them a try. I assume we will be back. We love HuHot and have been disappointed that there's no HuHot anywhere in the Twin Cities. I found this place and thought it would be a good alternative. I was correct! While I wouldn't say it's better than HuHot, they do some things better. Such as gloves when you are picking your items from the buffet, and free chips and salsa (the salsa is awesome). However, I was nervous to come here due to some of the other reviews, and while I don't agree with all of the negative ones, some of them are correct. The free white rice is incredibly mushy and soggy. I didn't really like it. The pasta itself did end up a bit soggy compared to HuHot, but I still enjoyed it. I do wish they had a few more sauce options and recipes. The flavor was pretty good, but I do sort of agree with some other reviews that I wish there was more flavor. I would encourage you to use more sauce than you think. I also agree that the atmosphere feels slightly dirty/old. The whole place could use a very deep cleaning or remodel. I'm also very upset that they are passing the credit card fee on to customers. That actually gives me pause about potentially not going back more than anything else. However, I did enjoy my meal. So I would guess that we will be back. But due to the credit card processing fee, lack of sauces, and a feeling of uncleanliness, we won't be rushing back anytime soon.

We got there right when it opened and they were plenty of classic options on the buffet. They also have hibachi which I think is a really good touch. I do wish they had coconut macarons as I remember the previous once having them and those were my favorite. I always look for them at buffets. I also wish they had cream cheese wontons instead of just crab rangoons as I don't like crab. We also found the soft serve to be quite icy and not very creamy. We were a group of 4 and it seemed all the tables were for large groups but we didn't want a booth. I'm not sure if that was because it was a holiday or if that is the typical layout. Prices were reasonable, especially for the holiday. We will definitely return.

This is a stand alone restaurant with plenty of free parking! Walking in a noticed the restaurant was very clean, bright and new looking. There is a waterfall that goes into a pond in one of the corners and I definitely thought that was fun!! I also really liked how the serving station was its own "little building" in the center. The vibes here were actually really great! The person who took our money did not talk or smile. But our server was extremely friendly and quick! Always made sure I had my drink filled up and plates were taken away quickly! The food: And this is where it all fell apart. Had the server and the restaurant itself not been great, this would have easily gone to 1 star. I read another review stating "everything here is sweet" and I agree! 90% of there items were very sweet! There was a salad bar but we did not try it. The chicken here is very small pieces with little to no meat, just crunchy coating. The chicken wings had a light crisp to them, and they were large, but lacking any real flavor. There weren't many options for dessert. My biggest complaint was that certain items had "funny" or "strange" flavors to them.... Like the ice cream had a weird after taste. The French fries tasted freezer burned. They did have a kind of create your own stir fry, where you pick the items and someone cooks it (that's included in your price) may be that was better? This just fell short for me. There is a Panda Express going in next door and as much as it kills me to say (I love supporting small businesses) your money would be better spent there....

Not sure why but I was really impressed that our takeout meals came with a packaged utensil set (wooden fork, individually wrapped toothpick and a folded napkin) and it came with a can of Pepsi. That's definitely new but a nice surprise. Parking can be tricky because it's a smaller parking lot but GMB is always a staple Chinese buffet.

I have witness more than once when I go there etiquette are not being enforced on people that eat there. During dinner time I went I saw a young boy around the age of 12+ constantly picking food with his hands. At his age he should know better but I feel like the worker working by the food should have said something. He picked a crawfish, crab claw, cookies, and sushi with his bare hands. This same boy also grabbed a bowl, walked around rubbing, fisting the inside of the bowl and proceeded to put back that same bowl back with the clean bowls. Again the worker just watched him and did nothing. A previous time I went I saw a older lady complaining to the old men that works there about how cold the string beans was. When she got done talking to the old men she picked up a wonton with her hand that had gloves on in front of the old men that works there. He said nothing to her. Tongs are there for a reason to pick up food. Another incident a lady dropped a wonton on the ground. Instead of her just leaving it on the ground she thought she was doing good by picking it up and placing on the counter. Little did she know that 5 seconds later a worker picks up that dirty wonton on the counter and puts it back with all of the other wontons. I get the place does not want to be wasteful. However when food is out of the tray and on the counter it should not get placed back with the clean food. They use a all purpose rags to clean the counter. Nasty stuff gets spread from those rags. Now people are eating contaminated food. All of my experiences in this buffet has to be some kind of health violation. It is just beyond nasty. I will not likely go back to this buffet.

The food bar was clean, fresh good selection. The not good is the sauce section and the cooking. I feel the sauce is watered down and premixed to give a flavor profile a name. They suggest at least 7 ladles to get flavor. Other grills have a separate sauce you can create your own flavor profile. I did get a good heat from the sauce but no flavor or dark color. I tried 4 times. The cooking is rushed and not cooked down in my opinion not mixed well. The vegetables are firm and not softened. We did enjoy the experience but that's over and will not return.
