Grand Buffet

On my way back from visiting friends on NY Day, the family got hungry for Chinese. Searched Unilocal and found Grand Buffet to have some decent reviews… And we’d been to the Taste of China in Seguin and that was NOT an option.
Really enjoyed it. Generals Chicken was good and hot & sour soup was delicious… But what put this over the top was the fantastic Mongolian Grill and beautifully fresh sushi… On a buffet that truly impressed me.
My wife and my 8 & 11 year olds enjoyed it as well.

Update 3 Jan 2016
Met the parents here before the husband left town post-​holidays and this was their choice. I had 2 plates: sushi/​coconut shrimp (shrimp strangely, uncharacteristically owns my soul here) followed by a rib (sauce tasted cherry!) a fried donut, garlic shrimp and stuffed mushrooms.
Was unimpressed by my shroom and I gave the 2^nd to Mr. R who raved over it, so grain of salt there. Everything else pleased. I could, I fear, eat my way through an entire TRAY of milky coconut shrimp. That’s not pride, that is a warning to you fellow (potential) addicts.
Mr. R had a whole plate of fruit which he genuinely enjoyed (but his chosen diet is nitrogenous meats so, again, caveat emptor), a few pc of sushi, a lot of green beans and something else I can’t remember. He was also extremely satisfied on the drive home.
All around, everyone was pleased. I don’t know if it was the post-​church crowd or what, but this Sunday 1pm was as crowded as I’ve ever seen it.

Update: Aug, 2014
I’ll have to admit after eating Thai and Lao food, my eyes have been opened to a more healthier style of Asian food. Why is it that every time I come here I don’t feel good afterwards? It’s because everything has a gloppy, sweet sauce, or is battered in tempura flour, or is so salted your blood pressure goes up.
Today for the first time I ordered something off of the Mongolian grill. I chose beef, pork, and shrimp with some various vegetables, and I picked some garlic sauce and some spicy chili oil. It was stirred well and was light and delicious. My only complaint was there was no fish sauce, which absolutely makes a Thai dish.
So, from now on the only thing I will come here for is the healthier options, which can only be found on the Mongolian grill, and not the regular line. Their sushi has been up and down lately to. I’m down to 4 stars now.

Excellent quality of food including the sushi, which is made all day long by two sushi masters (there is a tip jar, so please give them a dollar). One of my favorite items, and I would go here just for them are cold boiled, large shrimp during lunch. They don’t have much flavor seasoning wise, but dip them in some cocktail or soy sauce and they are wonderful.
I will start off with a whole plate of them. I’ll layer the bottom of my large plate with lettuce, then pile on the shrimp. Everyone is professional here, and the place caters to all of Seguin’s cops and hospital professionals. The hot and sour soup is great and they have unique items like steamed buns with red mung paste and deep fried apple pies with a delicate phyllo dough. They have a large selection of Japanese beer if you so desire. The lunch buffet is only $ 7. Well worth the trip to Seguin.

I only go for the stir fry and sushi. Both of those things are already delicious here, but the items on the actual buffet are so so. One day it might be hot and delicious and other days it will be old and hard.

Same name as New Braunfels. Same member card. Everything looks the same. Everything is the same. Same owner. But they claim its not the same so you cant get stamps. The food is much better than the one in New Braunfels. I would rather drive to Seguin. The NB location is aweful because they don’t clean anything in the kitchen.

Now, I’ll have to admit, I love me some Chinese buffets, and i’m always looking for a good one near my house. This qualifies on one point, but not the other…
I have eaten at so many different chinese buffets in San Antonio that I should have a Chinese passport! Here’s the thing, most of them are a let down, for one reason or another. Not Grand Buffet…
I hate cold rice, cold meat, and not enough selection. Grand Buffet has great rice, not the hard stuff that you know someone cooked just long enough to serve. The meat dishes are hot because the patrons are always eating them, so the food is fresh! Great flavors, nice variety, just a damn good buffet. Great desert selection, and they have… (wait for it)… BIG RED. Any Chinese buffet that has great rice, a plentiful selection, AND Big Red is a great place for me.
Yea, I can see it on your face, «it’s waaay out in Seguin» but look, isn’t it time to try something new? Come on, this buffet has STAMP CARDS! I don’t know about you, but if it’s free, it’s me! Flat screens to watch the games on Sundays, this place has it all…
Drive out to Seguin, give this place a try, then relax and savor the flavors; i’ll save you a spot in my booth…

This is my dirty place. The place when I’ve given up on other foods and want a buffet. We (my family and I) go here when we all disagree on what to eat for dinner.
My husband hangs around the sushi bar and gets his money’s worth FO SHO.
My son hangs around all the fried carbs (chicken strips, biscuits, fries, corn nuggets).
I like the Mongolian grille part. Pick your veggies/​meat and they’ll grill it up for you.
The service has always been great. Drinks are always full, table is always pre-​bussed. Nice.

We ate here about 3 weeks ago. They do have a lot of variety and a Mongolian grill which the other buffet doesn’t have. But my husband and I tried the coconut shrimp and a fried shrimp and both had been overcooked. The shrimps were too tough to eat. Will only go back for all you can eat crab legs, if I have a craving.

Looks like I found my new fav lunch spot. Really good chinese food along with seafood.
