Grand China Buffet

The Grand China Buffet is super close to our house and we hadn't been there in a long time, so decided to pop in recently. It is pretty inexpensive, but unfortunately, you definitely get what you pay for in that respect. The decor is pretty cute, with little Pixiu dragons outside the entrance, high vaulted ceilings in the dining area letting lots of natural light in, and murals of different Chinese cities.But what really matters is the food when you're there for a meal, and the offerings were pretty standard, but nothing to write home about or plan a return visit. At any buffet, I like to get a small amount of each thing I'd like to try, instead of one large plate of one entree (I would go to non-buffet option for that). I started with a few appetizer style items:-Corn: This tasted like canned corn that you'd have at home, so a little disappointing. -Lo Mein: Okay for lo mein noodles, but pretty dry. I mixed this with some of the sauce of the proteins I got, so that helped.-Crab Rangoon: Not the best Rangoon I've ever had, but I did like the shape (little flower bud style) and the thinner consistency of the wonton. -Pork Bao: I was excited for this, but it ended up being very doughy with one tiny sliver of the Pork inside. For the entrees, I had small portions of a handful of them:-Black Pepper Chicken: This was actually pretty tasty and flavorful with the pepperiness.-Pepper Steak: This was similar to the Black Pepper Chicken, but it was a non-breaded style like the chicken had been so a different consistency. -Peanut Butter Chicken: One of my go-to favorites when I go to Chinese restaurants. This one was pretty dry and crispy so not the best texture of flavor I've had for this dish.-Broccoli Chicken: Another of my favorites usually, and this one wasn't terrible. The brown sauce was nice and the chicken was pretty juicy. -General Tso Chicken: I think this was my favorite of the entrees I tried. It had the sweetness along with a slight spice, so it wasn't a one-note flavor or too sweet, like some can be.And then for the dessert options, there were a few hits and misses:-The fried donuts were amazing, but you HAVE to eat them when they are hot and fresh. They become hard as a rock if you let them get cold.-There was a dark chocolate cake, that was the driest thing I had ever put in my mouth. I don't recommend that cake.-They had a cooler with Blue Bunny ice cream, and you can't go wrong with that. -There was an eclair style cake that was pretty dry so I wouldn't recommend that either.-Coconut Cake: I don't even like coconut usually, but this was pretty fluffy and delicious. The coconut was shaved on top so it wasn't as offensive of a coconut flavor as usual.Overall, this definitely is not the best Chinese buffet in Omaha (it's not even in the conversation), but it's a passable option if you have no other way to get to one of the better options in town.

Good food would recommend eating her again. Excellent service. Easy to find. Handicap accessible

First time eating at any China Buffett in probably 10 years and I was quickly reminded why it's been 10 years. We were seated quickly, and the food in the middle of the restaurant was all visibly steaming hot but the taste of most everything was below mediocre in my opinion. My fav part was the coconut sweets in the dessert section. Second favorite was probably the pepper chicken and that was a 3/5. The rest.... Just wasn't great to me and I tried many dishes just hoping to get something at least decent. The warm tea also had extremely no tea flavor at all. Basically warm water. No more Chinese buffets for me. Took no pics while there to as nothing seemed worth photographing.

The Grand China Buffet is one of the better buffets I have been to. The waitress we had was very friendly attentive clearing our empty dishes and filled our water glasses. They have Mongolian grill but typically I selected from their buffet entrees. The food is fresh, always filled and hot. Overall I thought this is one of the better Chinese buffets I have been to in Omaha. My only knock is the decor (tables and chairs) are very basic. Overall this was a great visit and will plan to visit them again in the future. I would recommend this buffet to others.

Old food we came in an hour and half before closing food was so old couldn't even chew it

Great value for the crew.Four of us went and ate more than we should have. There were a variety of tastes and food requirements, and we all left satisfied.Traditional Chinese dishes, "kids menu" type offerings, some sushi rolls, and a Mongolian grill will make sure you can find something you'll like.And, don't forget the ice cream. It's great!

I found roaches when I went to change my daughters diaper!!! There were flys on the food and when I left I didn't realize they had charged me $24 more. That was minor, I threw up in the parking lot because I couldn't shake the thought that I had just ate there!

I love their selections. The staff is usually friendly and attending. The only disappointing thing is that I wish their selections were a little bit more diverse

The food was soooo slimy!! Not very clean and no flavor to anything! Our waiter was kind but there was no one else cleaning or bringing more food out. I was shocked by how gross it was. Also THE PRICE WAS INSANE!! I will never go back.

Crab Rangoon with extra protein very much needed Waiters are nice tho Pretty long waiting line so you'd think the food is worth the wait but whatever you get what you payed forMe and wifey are not impressedAmbience is pretty nice ig
