Grand Buffet

The health department needs to shut this place down! This is my first and last visit. They sit pitchers of different beverages on a wall in the middle of the room to refill your drink with, HOW UNSANITARY AND DISGUSTING! The carpet is filthy, the food just looks like yuck… I could go on and on and on, but you get the idea. this is not the place!

They recently moved up the street to the old Ryan’s location near PIB. They must have left all the beef at the old location because the only beef you will find here is an overcooked beef brisket of marginal quality. If you are looking for pepper steak, Mongolian beef, or hibachi beef you would be well advised to steer clear and not waste your time out money here.

Last time I came to this place was 2008, it was impressive with the food variety and quality: freshy and tasty. That is the reason I come again. However it is a complete mistake. Rotten oysters, tasteless crawfish, lame hibachi. Nothing is fresh, seems like 10 years old materials. Would never come again

My family loves buffet and that’s the only reason why I go in all you can eat places. I’ve been here twice with them and I didn’t find anything special in here. They like it here maybe because it’s not as expensive as other buffet restaurants. I will go back if I’m with them (and if it’s free. lol). But honestly, if it from my own free will, I won’t. hahahaha

well, I have been coming here for almost 4 years.
pros:
1. Variety of foods
2. Coconut Shrimp and panko shrimp Awesome!
3.Service is good
4.Area to watch Tv if you like.
5.I give over all food quality a 7 out of 10(When the food is right out the kitchen it is a 10. Fresh)
6. Servers are always cleaning the food area.
Cons:
1. Kids, Kids, Kids (The employees have kids and let them run around in the evening time. Taking up space and adding extra noise.)
2. Salad bad is just ok.
3.Always, Always crowded in evening
I will continue to go, Nice place and it is one of the best Chinese Buffets I ever been to in GA.
4. PRICE. Dinner you are going to pay $ 11 – 12,Lunch is cheaper $ 7 i think.

I go there weekly and for the price, the food is actually very good. I find that during dinner hours, their hibachi steak is 1 of the best i have ever tasted compared to all the lower budget asian buffets around. Their food is very fresh. Not like some of the lower buffet places that re-​heat food and leave food out for hours. The waiting staff is super friendly and very helpful. My drinks were never empty. Their buffet price includes a drink, so the price is an excellent deal. Their minature crabs, clams, and hibachi steak is execellent. Their fried chicken wings are fried in a very tasty and unique batter. Anyways, for the price, you can’t ask for me. I actually like this buffet better than the high-​end sydney’s buffet. If you havent tried it, you def. need to stop in.
And by the way, I stopped by back in 2008, and the quality of food is way better now. No comparison. Just a fyi.

I have been here 3 times. The first time (lunch) would easily have rated a 4 — abundant offerings, fresh & hot. The 2^nd visit (dinner) would easily have been a 1 — wells were not hot enough and so the food was cold, and most pans were ¾ empty and they were not quick to refill. The last time (and probably I mean that literally) would rate a 2 (lunch). Again, many of the wells were not hot enough and who wants to eat room temperature meat items?
On the plus side, the prices are good, you pay up front so there’s no waiting for your check and they do have a grill to order hibachi area that ensures what you’re getting is fresh and hot. Oh and the sushi seems fresh & well made and there are at least 8 – 10 different kinds which is a lot more than average.
However, with 2 out of 3 visits being either mediocre or bad, I doubt I will return.
I’m new to the area, so I will keep looking for a consistently great Asian buffet and I’ll keep checking the reviews here and see if they can improve their consistency.

This place has gone to the dogs. Went there this evening with a friend to have a quick meal, and could barely stand it. Got a glass of warm tea, 3 cubes of ice. Never got a refill. Kids were sticking their fingers in the buffet trays, nobody around to even care about keeping them in check. And the management did nothing to curb the screaming and yelling going on over in the corner by a bunch of heathens who had no respect for other people dining there.
Oh, and the food quality is completely terrible now. They were trying to get stuff out so fast for the crowd that most of it was dangerously undercooked, or burned to a crisp because they had too much going and forgot about one thing.
I’m glad we got our money back after my friend accosted the manager.

We go almost every weekend. I like the salt n’ pepper crab and so does everyone else; please do not get into a fight over this dish as justified as it may seem.
I like their thin noodles, coconut shrimp, ribs (u got to know how to pick the tender ones), grilled pork chops, veggies in white garlic sauce, pot stickers, and the mixed grill. You can make your own combination of meat and veggies for a custom grill which is nice. The seasoning and quality of preparation are not consistent enough to give them higher ratings, but for about $ 10 all you can eat including a drink, we will be back, just not this weekend.

Eh… not bad. Good for $ 7.50!

Okay… we’ve been there plenty of times, and all the other times we’ve gone, we’ve enjoyed! I can understand the quality of the food taking a small slide because of material cost, but this has to be one of the fastest free-​falls ever!
AND I’M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE… FREE FALLIN!!!
This last time we went (which will be the LAST time we go) was really just that bad! There were two ladies picking green beans off to the side in the dining area (which I believe is against health codes?). But the worst part… the three of us all had the runs after going! I had the strongest stomach for these things I guess… my issue was only 1.5 days. Lola (4 yrs old) had the runs for a few more days. Amanda got the worst of it. She was in bad shape, and had to finally go to the doc a few days later. They said that because of the inflamed and enlarged stomach and large intestines, she probably had a parasite.
THAT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING!!! KEEP THOSE ALIENS IN THE MOVIES PLEEZ!!!
Although I often wonder if maybe she will eventually poop out Earthworm Jim, and I do realize this is probably one of the most disgusting posts. But I can’t change the facts.
Fact is, all three of us got the runs, and 1 out of 3 got a parasite.

Not a bad place to go to a buffet if you’re craving Chinese food.

My roommate and I live fairly close to this buffet and she likes to go. Okay, I will be honest, sometimes I get a craving for it as well.
The food is mostly okay. I really like the california rolls, although I would be scared to eat anything raw that sits out like their sushi does. If you go for dinner, they have a better meat selection, even sometimes some decent steak and spare ribs. I really love their coconut shrimp and fried panko shrimp. Wish they had more veggies, sometimes its hit or miss.
For the most part, i avoid the salad bar… ive been sick on a Chinese buffet salad bar before (not this one). The deserts are kind of weird and lame. But the fresh fruit is usually very good and they have soft serve ice cream.
Go if you are really hungry and want to fill up on alot of carbs! lol

This place was ok, but you can’t really ask for much more when you’re paying $ 7.50 for lunch and a drink!
They had a variety of dishes – honey chicken and the spicy chicken and shrimp were my favorite. They also had shrimp which had the shell completely on and I couldn’t eat it because they didn’t clean the shrimp out. It was a little disgusting.
I probably wouldn’t go back unless I was really craving a chinese buffet and did not want to spend a lot of money.

When we end up here I have been out voted by the family. The place is just ok to me. We frequent this place about once a month because it is a cheap sushi fix for the missus. The kids can usually find something they like and have ice cream afterwards. The only thing I really look forward to when we visit is the fruit. They usually have really fresh pineapple and watermelon.
If you are looking for buffet quality Chinese food at a reasonable price or a cheap sushi fix this place fits the bill.

Disgusting. The place looks pretty old & janky outside. as does the inside. The food quality overall isn’t very good. Some of the stuff looks like it’s been sitting there for a while that you can begin to see a layer of fat drying on the surface of the solidifying sauce. I asked the sushi chef which one was was Spicy Tuna, since they were all labeled incorrectly & then one of the girls came up to me & kept saying «hello? hello?» to me. I guess i was supposed to ask her, but I doubt she would’ve known either. I felt like most of the food was gross or dirty & the color of all the sushi (nigiri & seaweed salad) didn’t look fresh at all. I guess that’s what you get for $ 9 bucks. Too bad I barely ate anything. My first & last time coming here. I don’t know why they kind of had a lot of people here anyways, but I noticed most wereN’T Asian & thought the food was actually good maybe.

This place definitely had the worst asian food I’ve ever eaten, and it may be the worst food of any kind that I’ve eaten in my 42 years on this planet.
I realize that buffets’ food is not as good as ordering off the menu, but this place is ridiculous! Some of the food was so bad that I had to spit it out to keep from gagging. The sesame chicken was similar to rubber, and must have been very old and reheated over and over. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but you get the idea.

After reading the Unilocal about this place I decided… «why not?»
Almost loved it. It definitely took care of my sushi fix although I have to say they used too much cream cheese in those that were made with it. Cant beat it for only $ 7.50!

I couldn’t believe that I’m giving this place a 3. Cuz personally, I don’t like buffets at all… But given that my branch office is just around the corner and after been starving for a long day from work — anything tastes good.
The building use to be like a Ryan’s-like dinning setting. Everything wooden. Can’t say it’s nicest dinning area, but it’s… OK.
Food cuisine is quite random: Chinese (the usual Chinese food), Japanese (Sushi and hibachi like food), American (Steaks and potatoes, Fried Fish, Salad bar, Pasta Salads, and Pizza. Yes, you read that correctly.), Korean (K-​BBQ), Seafood (They serve a lot of shrimp just prepare it differently. Asian way — Fried Fish, grilled fish, steamed fish. And steamed crab legs.) and the usual fruit, desserts, and ice cream. Oh, and they serve frog legs too.
Quality of the food is — fair. I don’t mind going back to eat. To me — it’s quick, decent, close to work, less hassle when in a hurry to get back to work.
Lunch is about $ 6 and dinner $ 10. Not bad at all… =)

Gave it 4 stars since they actually had some chinese food other than typical panda express food there and they have chopsticks. Although the sitting area can get a bit crazy, so prepare to go before the lunch crowd. I could not taste any MSG either being that I couldn’t have dinner that same evening. The lunch definitely hit the spot. The hibachi was cool being that you take the stuff you like and mix it all together. Their noodles weren’t dry or crunchy like most fast food chinese restaurants. The price was around 7.50/lunch so if you like sushi, chinese, and salads, be prepare to eat.
