    I am deeply saddened to have to write such a negative review about a small local business. But unfortunately there is no way around it in this case. I brought a party of 4 in for lunch on a weekday. The food was awful; majority of it was cold, soggy or undercooked. None of us even finished our first (and only) plate. Secondly and perhaps most importantly; I don't understand how the health department hasn't shut this place down yet. The windows are covered in what appeared to be black mold, and it doesn't look like the place has ever had a proper cleaning. I didn't see anyone clean or even being out a sanitizer bucket for show once while we were there. . I don't even want to imagine what the kitchen looks like. In addition, they aren't even priced competitively anymore. You could go to the king buffet in Everett for nearly the same price and get food that is actually edible and a building that won't make you sick. Sad to say this was definitely our last time here.

    small, locally owned biggest. a sweet family who makes everything fresh while you're there ! constantly seeing them go in & out bringing in platters of different foods to fill the buffet trays. an arrayment of fruits, seafood, Chinese + japanese foods, fried foods, deserts, you name it ! there's something here for everyone to enjoy, whether it's comfort food or something to try. everyone is very kind & welcoming, & open to questions & conversation. some of my favorites i recommend are the crab rangoon (which, grab quick, because they go fast!), cheese sticks (be careful though, some wind up being empty), & fried zucchini ! if you ever want a quick bite whether it be sitting in the small, quaint environment of the buffet, or a quick bite to go on the road or for home, this is for you !

    For the dinner buffet, they have over 20 items, but most of them appeared to be out since lunch. The food looked stale, even the rice was just above room temperature and smelled. I'm pretty sure the health department hasn't done an inspection here recently. I didn't expect fancy food at an all you can eat buffet, but we had a hard time finding edible food.

    I had to dump my food from my mouth. :(. I heat leveling bad comments or reviews but I couldn't stay silent.

    Very bad experience I had. I saw very good reviews so it could be just bad day, but place didn't smell good and food was not fresh at all, don't get me wrong I'm not picky at all, I eat leftovers every time. This food was not tasting good and it wasn't the flavor it was more like it was going bad, I had to stop eating. I really hope someone can come and inspect the place for everyone's Helth.

    Egg Drop Soup, chow mein, fried rice

    the deserts look strikingly familiar to the deserts from the the food bank (church) down the street. The flies don't eat much either.

    Good value and food!…read more Went to the Friday night prime rib buffet and for $36.99 ($29.99 seniors 55+), it was perfectly fine. Prime rib was soft, flavorful. In the Asian section, had things that you may not normally see in a buffet (pigs feet!). Also there was a Mongolian grille where you could choose meat and veggies, and they cook it for you. Alcoholic drinks were in addition to the price, but pretty reasonable. (A glass of wine was $7. ) Servers were attentive and tried hard to provide good service. All in all, a nice experience.

For the price, the food was average. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing stood out either. What really impacted our experience was the service toward the end of our visit. Our reservation started at 5:45 PM, and we had until 7:45 PM. However, around 7:15 PM, a waitress began repeatedly staring at our table, making it feel like we were being rushed out before our allotted time was up. We were celebrating a birthday and hadn't even finished dessert, but the atmosphere became uncomfortable enough that we decided to leave early. Guests should be able to enjoy their full dining time without feeling pressured to leave. Overall, the experience didn't justify the cost, and unfortunately we wouldn't return.

The…read moreSunday All Day buffet is priced at $23.99 and we thought it was well worth it because of the variety. The service is pretty standard and the staff were able to clear our plates relatively quickly. This is a Chinese or Asian style buffet, and we loved the Asian style fusion foods. There were rows and rows of food choices. Some of the trays were of hot food like ribs or fish, fried foods, various seafoods, a salad bar, sushi and sashimi bar, desserts or fruits, and even a DIY grilling station where you can choose your own meats or proteins, veggies, or noodles, and they'll freshly stir fry it on a hot stone flat grill top! The various seafoods included shrimp, clams, baked oysters, crawfish, and deep fried crab. My favourite was probably the sushi bar with many different rolls, nigiri sushi, sashimi, and sashimi salad. They also have an unlimited soft serve machine. All in all, a great lunch with amazing variety and portions!

They didn't have much to choose from either. No beef dishes as I can recall except the roast. Other than that it was mainly chicken dishes. They had some seafood dishes, but weren't fresh of course. They had seafood boil that had a few lobster halves, snails and crab legs, but it always ran out as soon as they filled it. People would just dig for it and leave the rest like the potatoes and corn. Luckily I was able to grab a few crabs and half of a lobster after the 4th fill. I did have a few baked oyster that was good. The place was semi decent when it came to cleanliness. The people that worked there were nice. They did have a Mongolian grill. Other than that, I will cut this review short because there wasn't anything phenomenal about this restaurant.

Grand Buffet from the outside entrance has a humble vibe. There are no fountains or statues. And the bathrooms have a disinfectant quality in the air. Somewhat dated. Not oozing with warmth. But clean in my experience with a no frills way of washing hands before eating. The staff will seat you, but I typically will get the appetizers, then find a seat. The staff are usually quick to see if you don't have a glass and will take your order if you choose to start that way. With families, I'm sure having them seat you is preferred. And seating, even on a busy day, is not too difficult. I estimate seating for about 100 people is available. That's based on a tour bus with 44 Japanese tourists coming in for lunch and not having any difficulty finding seating for lunch. The tour guide said he always brings his customers there after crossing the border from Canada, where they arrived. I mentioned appetizers. In addition there are main dishes, sides, some American offerings (Fried chicken wings, Pacific oysters on the half shell, French fries, crab rangoon), fresh fruit, a variety of salads, salad bar, and desserts including soft serve ice cream. The typical soft drinks, hot tea, or bottled beer is available. Dinner frequently includes salt and pepper fried crab half's. You may miss them at lunch. Sometimes they only serve them for dinner. There is also a Mongolian grill at the back of the buffet, that offers meats (beef, pork) or seafood (shrimp), noodles, vegetables, and different sauces. This is manned by one of the staff to cook your food with your sauce preference. They use a hot flat top grill to cook your food right in front of you. If you have your heart set trying that and don't see any staff, just ask for help from one of the waitresses. To get the full experience do try something from each section. The main dishes have chicken, beef. pork, shrimp, crab, and imitation crab. Easily labeled and recognizable. Buffets are logistical nightmares with the common element of consistency being the goal. Seasoning can also present challenges when trying to make everyone happy. Over the years visiting this place, it's been consistently at the right temperature, seasoned appropriately, well maintained with all serving pans filled with food, and clean. The staff are rock solid. No deviation from being there making sure your glass is full and being polite and helpful. This week I chose a Friday at 3:34 PM. To my surprise the parking lot was half full. Usually there is a steep lull between lunch and dinner. That was the only surprise. Everything else was at a standard I expect. Which is why I come back. ADA parking and access. Parking is ample with overflow parking. As of January 2026 cost for Dinner, one adult: $20.75

It was mostly your standard Chinese fare, all cooked in one way or another: shrimp cooked about 6 different ways, beef and broccoli, a Mongolian grill - just pick your ingredients and bring it to them, as well as a small dessert bar including soft serve with cones! I left satisfied with the options and the price. It's a lot bigger inside and can accommodate large groups, if necessary. We brought in 30 and had our own section. There was still plenty of room and the server comes around refilling drinks regularly (pay for these separately from your dining bill), as well as brings the bill towards the end of your dining experience.

It is like a food court where you grab a plate and serve yourself and then pay by the amount of food you grab. The pricing is very confusing. They have two prices, one for meats and the buffet station and one for just the buffet station. The buffet station was very limited and look very sad. The meats were okay but overall overdone and chewy. They didn't have any traditional sauces you would usually find at a Brazilian restaurant; they only had some salad dressing bottles. There is virtually no service. They don't really speak English. They don't have a menu and everything is self serve. It is pretty cheap if you just go for meats and don't get a drink.

The food tastes just like good homemade cooking, and I love the fact that they offer both à la carte and buffet options. They also have great Brazilian drinks, snacks, and desserts. I come here at least once a week to enjoy the wonderful food. One of my favorites is the churrasco and the lasagna! Unfortunately, the lasagna is usually available only on weekends. During the week, you have the option to pay for food by weight or enjoy an all-you-can-eat option for a set price. Plus, they always serve free Brazilian coffee. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience authentic homemade-style Brazilian food.
