I'm a fan of buffets. There is a communal feeling as everyone saddles up to the food. And it's the great equalizer. No matter your station in life, you serve yourself. 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 read more

Yum yum, as my mom would say! They had a lot to choose from considering it looks pretty quaint from the outside. I know many people who recommend this buffet and now I can say the same. 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. read more

So many delicious dishes to choose from--egg foo young, chicken skewers, pork and scallions, etc. etc. etc. Good sushi and delectable desserts. We go almost one a week. read more

I love the variety with multiple options of seafood, beef, chicken, and vegetables. It's an all you can eat AYCE buffet. Everything I ate was good, except I prefer the cold shrimp to be deveined. The service was good, kept my water filled and dirty plates picked up when I scooted them to the edge. Comfy booths and plenty of tables. It's all good until you visit the bathroom... it needs some serious TLC. Makes me curious about the cleanliness of the kitchen. read more

Theres quite a few choices to eat here. The food is warm but, not hot. Overall a good choice to eat for a buffet that isn't too expensive read more

We ordered a party platter, beef, and broccoli. When we got home and tried it we couldn't even chew the meat. It was all gristle with flavor. The broccoli and the carrots were raw. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a call back and they gave us full credit on the beef and broccoli. Thank you. read more

Great and affordable place to eat. My wife and I going to this place with our friends Dale and Lyn for a long time. They offer good and affordable food and we would recommend it to everyone. read more

My son had an appointment nearby so we decided to try this place out plus we wanted a buffet it was a long day. Well, I regret coming here (first & last time). The food was horrible I don't even know what I eating nothing tasted good. My son normally loves fried rice when go to places but he did NOT eat it all. It tells you something. My drink (soda) tasted so flat. I don't know but the servers were too quiet for me lol. Never again going back. This doesn't even deserved a star read more

This place is the best buffet to eat at. It's really good and tasty and the seafood is fresh and wonderful. They even have the greatest desserts. They are friendly and nice and take your plates so you can refill it with more from the buffet. I would say I would go there over and over again. I love this place. Try it so if you're in Marysville, take the exit and get to this buffet guarantee you'll it!! it is not expensive and the employees are great. It has excellent parking by the way. read more

The place don't looked liked much from outside but inside, it is roomy and clean in the dinning area. I did not visit the bathroom so I don't know whether I will lowers my review if it is not clean. Good variety of food and fresh. Good service. 17.95 for dinner and weekend. I went there for the seafood and was not disappointed. They have lots of shrimps. Blue crab, clams, mussels, and a hibachi to cook your choice of Mongolian stir fried while you wait. There are many other delicious foods too but I mostly go for the seafood and salad and fruits. Anyway, try this place. You might like it. I did. Will definitely come back. read more

Food is ok basic chinese buffet need update on the facility bathroom need renovation or update dinning area need TLC. Food are very greasy. This is our first time there will be the last also. Don't asume i speak Spanish...Price is ok should learn basic englisch... read more

This place has gone downhill. Few food options. Bad food quality. Unsanitary. Bad service. Take your money somewhere else. It's not worth it. read more

We went at 1pm on a Monday. There were only a few other tables full. It was very quiet. The restaurant has a large, open room. They have booths and tables. They asked which we wanted to sit at. It was very clean. Our server got our drink order quickly and then we headed over to the buffet. They have a lot of the regular Chinese buffet offerings, which is what we were looking for. I especially liked the crab rangoon as it's one of my favorite Chinese dishes. They also had some sushi in addition to the typical offerings. Most of the food was hot but not overcooked, except for one chicken dish (chicken on a skewer) which was pretty dry. The parking lot is shared with Value Village and a few other stores, so it is large and has lots of spots. I was happy to have had lunch here and will be back the next time I want a Chinese buffet. read more

This is a less than okay buffet. Most of the items here are salty. I'm starting to think that the more expensive the ingredients are, they make it saltier so people don't go back for it and and the less expensive ingredients are season okay. Not the best and freshest food, but serves the purpose of being $14.99 for dinner. They had a large selection of food and had a Mongolian grill which is probably the only thing that would come out super fresh because of it being cooked to order. They served decent seafood and the sushi bar consist of mainly California rolls with different toppings. The fruit bar was okay. read more

I've got to say, this is the first time in my life that I've been to a Chinese buffet and literally everything was bad to awful. Even the Pepsi is flat. Definitely won't be back. read more

Decent buffet for its price, especially if you're coming for lunch. You can't go wrong with the rice and noodle dishes. The sushi is freshly wrapped and their dim sum is good. Most of the desserts seem to be prepackaged and bulk-ordered but the layered coffee cake was light and fluffy. The egg drop soup was a little watered down and the hibachi station meat looked a little sketchy. However, I did not get sick after eating here. The waitress was kind and attentive. Overall, I would recommend this buffet if you're really hungry and on a budget, but I don't know if I would come back. read more

Food was cold. This place use to be 32 at the most with drinks for me and my family NOW it's 50 bucks with out tip during lunch time on Sunday. Very upset. Feel like I wasted my money for very low quality food. I miss the old owners. Won't be coming here again. Sad because I've been a customer for years and years. Also the bathrooms were below then low quality. There was literally poop in the toilet when I went to take my daughter and I had to flush with my foot. Absolutely disgusting. So disappointed. read more

Average buffet experience. The service was good, they had a number of options. Everything seemed to be clean. There are a few things around that could use some maintenance (like their booth seat cushions) and the soft service ice cream area and machine could use some maintenance but overall it was not as bad as some of the other reviews said it was. There were a few dishes I didn't care for but most everything was decent. The price is the real selling factor as we were able to feed a family of 4 for about $40-$50 read more

Surprised I didn't end up with food poisoning! Low quality and the restaurant is in bad shape if been in cleaner rest stop bathrooms. The service was alright except for bringing me coke when I ordered lemonade and I had to ask for refills. I will not be back read more

Came in during lunch time. A little hot inside due to the foods not being covered. Would recommmend glass lids. Overall a good experience, came to dample the foods, some good, some bad. Nice variety of food. Staff was friendly, pricing wss reasonable. Plenty of seating. read more

Food is good. Restaurant is clearly a hole in the wall, but overall food was a good 8/10, can't beat the price. Definitely could be cleaner, but it is Marysville so ‍ Customer service isn't really there since there was only 1 waiter for the entire restaurant & she was also cashiering Would come here again, bring an appetite read more

Bathrooms are totally gross. Piss all over the floor stinks like a mother fxxker. I didn't want to eat the food after going to the bathroom it was that bad. read more

I've had worse experiences at Grand Buffet since posting my review and they have altogether stopped serving or even claiming to have sweet and sour chicken. The place is dirtier than ever and the bathrooms are absolutely filthy. It makes you seriously wonder if the kitchen is even clean enough to pass a basic inspection. I suspect the board of health needs to inspect this place. It has been on my own personal banned list for more than a year now. As Gordon Ramsey would say, it appears like the people running this place simply do not care anymore. read more

food was absolutely disgusting I think I would of been safer eating my own shit than what they were serving like I literally can't explain it better than saying it's safer to eat dog shit than what they had everything was so gross and smelled weird wasn't cooked or over cooked or slimy the ride was frozen there was no sushi left I asked the manger 4 times before they got me 6 rolls. the manger starts staring at you with a Death Stare after your 3rd plate, the place has no windows or air conditioning it's hot and wet and gross I hated it so much the service was pretty mid the cook was a jack ass and wouldn't let me get shrimp with my chow main, if you want to spend 25$ to feel sick and shit yourself after than come over to this shitty ass restaurant read more

The people were kind and helpful. Now for the facts. Poorly heated food. Taste wasn't too bad. My biggest issue is that I was physically sick all night and the day following my visit here. Believe it or not the sickness came on about 25 minutes after I began eating. I ran for the bathroom and it was so incredibly dirty and disgusting I could not bring myself to use it. I would warn you all to avoid this one. read more

Me and a lady friend ate here on February 25th at around 5 PM. The food was very good. We really enjoyed all the different types of shrimp and prawns that they had. The food was all warm and tasty. I will be coming back here soon. read more

The food is OK and some items quite tasty. The sushi is not any good. The restaurant is medium clean, restrooms shabby, hot buffets are not up to legal heat level. This place will have problems with food poisoning unless they start managing their buffet MUCH better. read more

3.5 stars but the great price brings it to a 4. Good food and friendly service. Needs a SERIOUS remodel though. Very dated and tired atmosphere. 3rd time here and I'll be back. read more

This is probably the first buffet that I have been to where the service was excellent. The staff (maybe family run) was all top notch and knew what to give us before even asking. The pride is reasonable. The food was always hot and replenished. The guy doing the grill didn't seem like he wanted to be there, but we all have had days. ;) Overall it is a great family spot! Everything was clean too and not sticky like most lower priced buffers are. Kudos too to the cashier lady. So nice! read more

Today, Friday, 8/13/21, 2:23 PM, for lunch, the food is plentiful and the food that should be hot is hot. The peanut butter chicken and coconut shrimp is good. The place looks clean. There are two ladies working here today. The younger of the two is real nice. read more

For the price of dinner, $15.35, it's a good deal. They lack cooked vegetables except for broccoli that you can pick out of the beef dish. Overall it's a bargin and we would likely come again when we're in the area. read more

SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN RIGHT NOW!! I've already reported them to the WA state Health Department. Snohomish County Food Safty department. This Place should be SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! This place is the most unsanitary, disgusting, unclean restaurant I've ever walked into in my entire LIFE; and I'm in my 60's. My Friends and I went here for Dinner Last night, and toward the end of the meal I went to go to the bathroom and this is what happened. 1. The floors outside were sticky, and the so was the handle and the door. 2. The bathroom was the MOST DISGUSTING ABHORRENT FILTHY DISEASE ridden place I've ever seen. 3. The 1st stall, the toilet was filled with feces and urine un-flushed. The toilet, The walls were filthy, as well as the stall walls and floor. I used my foot to flush it and it overflowed. Luckily it didn't overflow but was at the top of the bowl. 4. The 2nd stall was also filled with feces and urine. This stall was worse than the 1st stall that I told you about. 5 There is BLACK MOLD throughout the entire bathroom, almost every square inch. The base boards, the ceiling, all around wall and the toilets There was no seat covers in either stall.Every thing was Filthy, and flat out gross. It was extremely obvious that NO ONE ever cleaned the bathrooms there. Now for the WORST PART OF ALL! One of the serving staff was in the Handicapped stall, and heard me expressing how gross, disgusting, etc. And that I felt like I was going to barf. I was at the sink directly across from the stall doors. She came out of the stall after hiding in there hoping I would just leave. Which I didn't . She walked out of the stall and right out of the exit door, and DIDN'T WASH HER HANDS!!!! After I saw that, I DID BARF. I again washed my hands,and kept the paper towel in my hand so I could get out of there without having to touch anything else. Then I gathered my friends, and had them leave. I then called for the Manager, and was Lied to after being told there was no Manager. I looked straight at this young man and demanded to see a Manager. And just like that, there was the Manager! I told him I refused to pay even one cent to this place after seeing what I saw, and the absolute Health and Safety Vilations they were openly committing. I described everything to him, as I described above. I also told him He will never see me or my friends faces in this garbage bin again. WARNING: There are 2 more of these. 1. Everett 2 Lynwood. Just STAY AWAY if you value your life. read more

I tried this buffet for the first time today after hearing a recommendation from a colleague that eats here weekly. Overall, I found the a lot of buffet's food a bit below average, but still really yummy. The mayo mussels were pretty tiny compared to other buffets, the crab rangoons, general tso's chicken, and egg rolls were pretty generic (to be expected); flavor is still the same though. The buffet has plenty of delicious menu items. The buffet has quite a few dessert options: an ice cream machine, pies (pre-made?), and fruit. I especially enjoyed the fruit at the dessert table. There's a lot of fresh mussels and shrimp available in the buffet as well. I was hope to try the spicy squid and kimchi they serve too. I've tried multiple buffets in the Northern Seattle area and each one seems to have its own unique perks and flaws. This buffet is a peaceful, quiet one (at least on a friday afternoon) and is much cheaper than others. One notable item I found at this buffet exclusively was stuffed shrimp; didn't get to try it though. The cleanness of the buffet is questionable but definitely passable. The waitress was also kind and friendly, but English isn't her first language, so she did not understand me when I asked her concerning nut allergies. For those with nut allergies, be cautious. The ice cream toppings are right next to other nut products: butterfingers and peanut toppings. The ice cream machine itself is fine and not too close for risk of cross-contamination. The only other items in the buffet that contain nuts are a pecan pie and peanut butter chicken. I personally avoid food that's close to those ones. I haven't tried the Mongolian grill yet. I'll see how it is eventually! Can't beat the price of only $9.30 for lunch. Dinner is barely more than $10! read more

Mediocre food in a depressing dining room. The buffet wasn't stocked very well, and most items looked tired and rubbery. I attempted one plate but was legitimately worried about food poisoning. I opted for the hibachi and felt better about my food being cooked to a proper temperature. The dessert was fine but after my first bite, I noticed my spoon was dirty with old, crusted-on... jello? Red pepper? Not sure. This is my first and last visit. read more

Should have left faster than I did, bathroom was covered in piss. Had to go through three plates to find a clean one, ate very little and felt sick, allergic to bell peppers and had no food that should have them in it. Food all cold even when it should be hot, stay away read more
