Myra C.

Food was good for a buffet. They had different soups, a build your own stir fry section, ice cream, snacks, desserts, and plenty of entree options to choose from. Quality was good enough to finish a plate. Cheese wontons were a little too creamy inside. The stir fry section makes your serving huge, so definitely a shareable size. Service was good, nothing to brag or complain about. Great spot for families. Bathrooms had some rust around the toilets.

Crab dish

I'll say if you are seeking an affordable Chinese buffet in the area and craving some seafood this actually hits the spot. The crab was surprisingly delicious, the clams were a little bland but with a little diy dipping sauce will make it better. Crawfish ok too not great. The fried shrimp and sesame chicken were good as well. Where this place is lacking is in the dessert offerings. Why the cheeseball and veggie straws? It adds nothing to the dessert area. It's a large facility with plenty of space for groups. It's been around for years so they must be doing something right.

Dining Room

10/10 would recommend. The place is beautifully decorated and the staff is very friendly. Our server was very personable and made us laugh a lot. She was very attentive. We went around 8:00pm and they closed at 9:30pm. Fresh food was still coming out of the kitchen. People were still pouring in. The bathroom had paper towels over flowing in the bin but honestly that was the only thing I saw wrong here.

This used to be my favorite place but now it's crap. The crawfish was rotten/ undercooked and the rest of the food tasted bad. We had a coupon for 1/2 off one person but they only took off a few dollars, called it half and added more tax. The service wasn't that good, the waiter couldn't even communicate with us on what we wanted to do about the plates. I was eating off of a plate and she asked if I was done with it and I said no then she proceeded to take the plate and ignore me when I tried to call her back. I would never go here again and only went because I got a coupon in the mail.

I decided to give this place a try and it's 22.00 wasted!! I hate when this happens! None of it was good.

I decided to give this place a try and it's 22.00 wasted!! I hate when this happens! None of it was good and taste spoiled! One day I will find some good Chinese food!

Opened at 11. Not even an hour and the food wasn't fresh or hot

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch after a doctors appointment. The restaurant had been open less than an hour and some of the food items appeared to be hot by view of steam table. First bite of the crab Rangoon was tough and chewy. I had to pull it with my hand while holding with my teeth to even attempt to eat. Next was my favorite green beans, believe it or not but they had good flavor and crisp but were ice cold and wilted. One last item before I gave up on the meal completely was beef and broccoli the meat appeared to be undercooked I tried to overlook the difference in the colors of red but I couldn't make myself try to eat it. So in order to try the broccoli itself I had to go get a knife and cut in since the tines on the fork wouldnt pierce the raw vegetable. After those 5 bites of food from my plate and my husbands full plate. We got the waitress' attention and told her we couldn't eat this food because of not being hot, not being cooked correctly Rice crunch. Vegetables colf, meat raw in middle and we werebt staying. He raised his voice and said we could only be getting one meal removed that we were responsible for paying over 16.00. I informed him we had just sat down and food not edible. He doesnt care. Claims hes the only management and he didnt mind raising his voice . We paid and then messed up and we charged twice im still waiting for the 32.00 charge to drop off. Ill call the corporate office if i ever find a number as such. In the meantime. Its sad that people like him are allowerd in customer service. We will NOT be returning to a place that not not only made me question the safety of the food but to have someone treat you like that is inexcusable. I found a similar review to mine when I began my review. I probably could have copied it stating "here's another one".

Great variety.

Mikey and I are in town to visit some museums. He insisted he owed me birthday supper. Well, I'm sure not going to say no! We wanted Chinese buffet, so here we are. Buffet Palace is just like every other buffet. LOTS of choices, and the food was actually very good. I like buffets because they have so many different kinds of shrimp. And don't forget the mussels! Seriously, I made a pig of myself. Some ocean is half empty right now because of me. They kept the buffet stocked and fresh. We really enjoyed it. To end the evening, Chinese apple pie and vanilla ice cream. YUM! Ok, it was just apple pie, but it was good! If your looking for AYCE Chinese, this might be the place.

Two good ass plates

Our party of eight visited Chama Gaucha in Grapevine for a buddy's birthday dinner in…read moremid-September. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly in the main dining room at a nice, spacious table not too far from the salad bar. The interior is attractive and well-maintained, and I especially appreciated that the tables weren't crammed together. There was plenty of room for the meat servers to move around comfortably, and we could easily carry on a conversation without having to raise our voices - which is something you almost expect when dining with a group of eight. Since we arrived a little early, we grabbed a quick drink at the bar. The bar area was equally attractive, with several guests opting to dine there, and our bartender was engaging and attentive. I came into the evening with high expectations, as the Chama Gaucha location in Houston has been my favorite Brazilian steakhouse experience to date. Having dined at several others across the country, including the well-known Fogo de Chão and Texas de Brazil, I found Chama's Houston location to be a cut above the competition. I've been there multiple times and always enjoyed it. That said, I wanted to temper my expectations a bit, knowing that the experience can vary from one location to another. Thankfully, Chama Gaucha in Grapevine did not disappoint one bit! The salad bar offered an extensive selection, and while I'm always careful not to fill up before "the main event", the items I tried were tasty and complemented the meats nicely. For anyone who hasn't been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, my advice is to resist the temptation to load up at the salad bar. Instead, use it to break up the richness of the meats and the starchiness of the sides brought to your table, such as pão de queijo (the famous Brazilian cheese bread), creamy garlic mashed potatoes, fried polenta, and fried bananas. As for the main event, the meats were all delectable, the side dishes were delicious, and the desserts were fantastic. The consensus among our group of eight was that none of us had experienced a better Brazilian steakhouse in the DFW area. A couple of people even commented that Chama was on par with, if not better than, Brasão. I haven't tried Brasão yet, so I can't make that comparison myself, but I can confidently say that Chama beats Fogo de Chão and Texas de Brazil in my book. I've dined at both of those locally within the past year or so. I wish I could remember the exact order of my favorite cuts, but the legendary picanha easily takes the top spot. I typically skip the chicken at Brazilian steakhouses since it's a less expensive option that often doesn't impress me and just takes up valuable stomach space. I also tend to pass on meats wrapped in bacon or heavily crusted with garlic, as those additions can mask the quality of the meat underneath. Beyond the picanha, the lamb chops may have been my favorite, while the filet mignon, bottom sirloin, and ribeye were all standouts as well. Honestly, there wasn't a single cut of meat I didn't enjoy - it was simply a matter of which ones I liked more than the others. All in all, Chama Gaucha in Grapevine absolutely lived up to my (our) expectations. Between the excellent food, inviting atmosphere, attentive service, and comfortable dining space, it delivered an outstanding experience for our group. I'm 100% coming back soon!

A very large restaurant that can accommodate big parties. We celebrate in my husband's birthday…read morehere and they are service was great. Any specific meats or dishes we wanted we could request and they came immediately. The salad bar is decent, it also has lobster bisque. There's also a drink cart that comes around if you wanted alcoholic drink drinks. Although the food was fairly good, not sure that I would come back as the price is ~ $80 with tip for dinner, and I don't think I'm a big enough meat eater to come back here. However, had a great time and wouldn't mind returning to celebrate a special occasion.
