    Buffet was just average. Everything is mislabeled and drowning in sauce. No crisp or firm (like steamed) vegetables. There were several shrimp dishes, which are usually my favorite. The taste was okay, but the shrimp were small and again, more sauce and coating than actual shrimp (same for chicken). The sushi was good &my husband liked the hibachi plate. Fresh fruit on the dessert bar was very nice. Service was also very good.

    I keep hearing from people how great this place is, but I just don't get it. Have visited three times, and ate at the Buffet, and although the variety is great and the presentation is nice, the taste is mediocre. I like to try a little bit of everything, and only one entree stood out as "good." I agree that they are friendly and really put forth a good effort...but it's just okay. If I go again, it will be to try the hibachi.

    A friend and I decided to try out this buffet as it has been sitting at the old spot where the old Chinese buffet used to be. We walked in greeted with a smile, the atmosphere was wonderful and the whole place is beautiful! It's a nice place to go out and eat out for a casual night. We had lunch there which was only nine dollars with drinks and this is a really good deal! Most entree's in most Chinese restaurants are up to 5-7 dollars which is pretty expensive when you could come to the buffet for nine dollars per person it's a great deal! Would love to come back here anytime!

    I've heard good things about this place and even checked the reviews before going. It's a buffet so my expectations were low to begin with. Good thing!

    Nice place but food was cold and full of MSG. The choices of food is large, but the quality is too low, but I did not try the Hibachi. The service is OK. I don't anticipate that we will return.

    I tried this place about a year ago and thought it was so-so. Gave it a second try today. Not good. The first time was actually much better. The grill was a whole lot better last time. Today the "chef" was unfriendly and did not even ask if we would like our food seasoned with garlic or pepper like they did last time. The result was a stir fry that was fairly tasteless. Everything else (read-chicken) was pretty much the same, lots of batter, lukewarm. There were few dishes that were not chicken or fish. Even the sweet and sour was made with chicken and the broccoli beef was broccoli chicken instead. Nothing special to chose from at all. The steamed rice was cold at 1pm. Our service was good, the restaurant was clean but we won't go back.

    Me and my family went to China Buffet tonight because we read all the reviews on here and that is 35 dollars that we totally wasted. They had the WORST food and my husband has been eating and loving Chinese food for the last 45 years and he even said that is the worst Chinese he has ever tasted. The waitress was nice but that was the Only good thing about the whole restaurant. Me and my husband were both literally sick to our stomach all night in the bathroom after we ate here.

    I am not very impressed with the dishes on the buffet as most are flavorless. But I did like the options for the grill although the guy cooking didn't seem very happy. Sushi was quite good also the dessert selection not bad. Friendly service and I liked how clean the food areas were. It's a good place for a quick lunch at reasonable prices.

    On first appearance the buffet looks very good but after trying many of the dishes I was disappointed. Most had the same sweet taste. Sushi was OK but some seemed like it had been up there for a long time. Salad area was quite good as was the hibachi grill selections. I think they need to work on providing a better selection of dishes and their flavor.

    Terrible experience. We paid the lunch price at the all you can eat buffet at 3:0pm. At 3:55pm I was approached by restaurant manager at my table, on my birthday, in front of other guest that because I ate clams off the buffet I had to pay the dinner rate. There is NO sign on the buffet that says if you paid the lunch price you cannot eat seafood. But the worse part was being humiliated and embarrassed in the dining room.

    They appear to try hard hear to offer good value for money and friendly service. They have a good selection of items on the buffet plus I like the hibachi and sushi. There's a range of desserts and ice creams too if you have room! Staff smile and are very quick at cleaning plates way and keeping drinks filled. For the money this is great value considering the selections and quality.

    My husband and I were shopping in Palm Coast in early December 2012 and decided we would like to try the Grand China Buffet. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the quality of food. My favorite is the poached salmon which never has a "fishy" taste to it and my husband likes all the sweet and sour entries and fried items. I also enjoyed the sushi bar with different styles of sushi and fresh! We have been back several times and live in Oak Hill, a drive that's well worth it!

    Very good selection of Asian and other foods. Something for everyone and all good and fresh. Had the hibachi with lots of fresh vegies... delicious! Plenty of sushi too. Service good although had to chase down for drink refills. Lady greeted us with a big smile and welcome. Very clean areas. Highly recommend.

    Where to begin... ah, yes lets start out with the staff; I am always greeted with a smile every time, the owner is always there and has gotten to know my entire family. They take the time to listen and make you feel comfortable. The sushi and Hibachi staff are always friendly and always remembers what I like and want. The food is awesome and can't stop myself from coming back religiously every weekend. The place is clean and relaxing and the messes are picked up pronto.

    I like the prices and feel its well worth it. I wish they had a place like this where I'm moving to and I'm deeply saddened I won't be able to take them with me.

    They really are ALL THAT!

    We're very glad to of found this place. I'm not usually a fan of buffets but really enjoyed this one. Immediately upon entering we were greeted with a big smile and warm welcome. Everywhere was clean and staff very friendly. The buffet was very well stocked and fresh. We were very impressed with the taste and quality at a price that couldn't be beat.

    Went here for take out and was very impressed with the variety and price. The lady at the door was very friendly and handed me a container which I filled from the buffet. I had a good selection of items and on check out she weighed it and was only charged just over $6! The food was excellent and a great bargain. Two thumbs up for this restaurant!

    We tried this place for the first time on 11/02/2012. I'm sorry I waited so long! In the past, we would go all the way to New Century Buffet in St. Augustine, but now we can save ourselves the trip. This buffet was very good, I'm so happy to see a place like this in Palm Coast. I don't eat sushi, but it all looked beautiful. And I loved the spare ribs.

    We couldn't find much fault in this restaurant. All the food on the buffet was hot and fresh and we liked the flavors. There was a good selection of Sushi although after a couple of trips now we would like to see a variation. Our server was on the ball and he kept busy bouncing around all the tables. It's also very good value and very clean too.

    Visited Sunday afternoon. The dining room is big and spacious and nicely laid out. The buffet area was clean with well stocked tables plus hibatchi and sushi all included. Our food was fresh, hot and tasty. There was more items than we could eat and will return to try others. The waitress was good and all staff smiled. We liked it very much here and thought it was excllent value for the money.
