I've been to several AYCE restaurants and this one is pretty good. They're a diamond in the rough. Nevermind the location, those who know Motown knows that it's not a bougie location, but the food is better than any same cousine buffet in the valley. Food selection was surprisingly plentiful and quality were above par. Once inside the place is fitting for the type of restaurant that it is. The food and the seating areas were clean. Service was good, tables were picked-up up promptly, and the servers were patient. Keep it up GB read more

I've been here multiple times never really found a problem. Personally I would say the place is okay at most but this experience was terrible. We found a hair in my husbands food (teriyaki chicken) told the waitress and the lady up front about this incident they didn't even care and responded with "sorry " & "we only have old men in the kitchen" and gave us a 3 dollar discount for the situation. Adding on, the food was very soggy , place was dirty and smelly we couldn't even finish our food. Don't come here they don't care about you. read more

I was in Modesto a few weeks ago and I was starving I saw this buffet place and so I stopped in. This place was typical buffet but had some pretty good items and the food tasted pretty fresh. The service was Meh .. food was okay but not worth the money that they charge. I've been to better places and been charged less. Ok food but pricey. Not really worth what they charge I'll keep looking. read more

Place is ok the food not so much variety shrimp not good would not come back bathroom dirty paper everywhere chicken dry

Food poisoning! After one visit I knew it was food poisoning waiting to happen! Even though they are very nice and a good selection with reasonable price if you can't keep your food warm/hot it's a Petri dish waiting to bloom! The food is literally cold with steam coming from beneath the trays. I don't get it. My son got extremely sick (food poisoning) from the sushi etc, and he has a cast iron stomach. Health department need to pay them a visit. Sorry but they have the means to do better. read more

The sign on the wall shows $15.99 for lunch buffet but we were charged $45.71 for lunch for two people, no fountain drinks ordered, just lunch and nothing else. Check your receipts before leaving this place. It seemed deceitful to advertise $15.99 for lunch buffet but actually charge over 20$ instead. read more

When I first went to Grand buffet I went with my family and my aunt that came over. We have never been there so we were excited. We went there and the buffet was a little pricey. But when we started the first thing that caught my eye was the crawfish which was only available on the dinner menu along with other dishes. That moment I knew that, that would be my favorite dish there. You must try it!!! The other dishes were amazing as well and the service was super nice. read more

I use to frequent this place when my dad was a live and it's probably the reason why i come back from time to time but man has it gone down hill. We spent $172 + tip on some trash food. $7.99 for my 4yo who didn't eat much, 10yo + 5 adults. The only thing good here was their chicken skewers, i swear that shit got crack on it . I'd pay for lunch but dinner is a joke read more

Don't want to leave a bad review since I don't want to bash a business but came here with my girlfriend a few days ago and got food poisoning 24 hours after eating here. We never eat together so the only meal we shared was here, couldn't have been anything else. read more

This place has a fantastic selection and atmosphere. The waiters are all friendly and so ready to be of service it was fantastic and the manager is an amazing overseer. She was ready to help guest and her staff. Definitely will be back especially with the pricing being so good as well! read more

I have been to this place twice. It has a really good food selection. Great price for what it offers. Also, the staff is really nice and always paying attention to their guest. read more

Very good seafood section for the price & the staff is on it with bringing out food when the tray is close to being empty

My Son Loves Seafood . He says let's find a Buffett with Crab . He found the Grand Buffett . We walked in very clean and open restaurant. Ordered a Ice Tea, the wait staff kept full for me :) and they took our plates away promptly . My Son was very happy with the Crab and seafood selection and freshness. We called ahead to see when the crab would be available- after 3:30 pm . They have lots to choose from in Asian cuisine - Solid sushi rolls. Pizza for the kids. And Thrifty Brand Ice Cream! Our Bellies are full and happy . read more

When in with my husband was getting food when a lady tapped my shoulder and told me to come look . A cockroach was walking by the fruit next to the oranges jello area . I would've taken a picture but I left my phone in the table. The lady who called me over told the worker who was cleaning up the area where the food is . Gets her dirty rag kills it doesn't look surprised AT ALL. Heads to the kitchen comes back shaking her rage. Absolutely DISGUSTING. After seeing the cockroach plus seeing how she handled it was disturbing . Never eating their again read more

Food was good, price was reasonable, and the ambiance is pure 1999 Chinese buffet. The staff was on point refilling items and everyone was happy with the selection. The seafood quality was questionable but the poultry and desert options swayed the wife and kids back in to positive pandas. I miss the 1990's Chinese music playing in the dining room but it's been a good place to eat. I've been going here off and on for 10+ years and it's stayed mostly the same. read more

Very nice people and good selection of food. The custards were extra delicious. I totally missed that there was ice cream too. read more

Grand Buffet - My plate of food - Buffets Near Me - Modesto, California

Me and my daughter love this place. We come for lunch often. Went tonight for dinner for the first time and it was good. More variety of food. Everything was fresh and hot. Good price for the amount of food but they do seem to rush you a bit if you are there for too long but other than that it's definitely worth the stop. It's decent ambiance. Could use an update but they keep it clean. I would recommend. read more

Grand Buffet - Seafood, Chinese food, soup, sushi. - Buffets Near Me - Modesto, California

This place has good prices, friendly staff and great food. I would rather do a father trip to Coffee Rd than to eat at 5 Seasons.

Food was not hot, some items had no flavor. Not as good as I was expecting, not returning read more

I was passing through. I don't recommend this place, everything is greasy, the taste is not very good, the room is dirty and there is mold on the curtains. The service was nice, but it didn't save the situation. read more

This food is a typical buffet style. They have everything from sushi to Chinese food and desserts.. Prices are normal for a buffet. The variety of food is not that vast and variety doesn't change. read more

Came here for a family outing like we do every now and then. They have good food but after what was seen today I dont think we will be coming back. So after eating the other half went up to go get ice cream that we wanted while he got up there he saw a kid up there with his hands all inside getting ice cream and the kid was sneezing and coughing at the same time and using his hands getting ice cream out. So he came back to the table and sat there and he said nope on ice cream. He told one of the lady's that came and got our plates and gave us our check. She didn't do a thing. She just put plates up and walked and got more plates off table. Not once go tell them to remove the ice cream or anything. And started to see other people going up there while we got up to leave. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE !!!!!! We had a party of 10 and they automatically inputted 10% of the total which came out to be a $22 tip so I went to the front and said to remove that because I put the tip I want . As it should be everywhere OPTIONAL to do so. so the lady argued back no we have to charge you , everywhere is the same , you have to pay tip. So I said no I don't have to , I tip what I want so she pointed to the wall and in small writing it says a party of 4 and more 10% tip will be added on. So of course it's my fault for not reading but however it shouldn't be an automatic requirement. To add to that I had a receipt for 10 ppl but I was paying my own for 3 so she had to redo it however that original receipt just said the total and the tip was blank AFTER redoing it she had given me two different receipts and it showed on that receipt the tip that was entered. My point is one receipt shows the tip there automatically inputting and the other shows it blank so in reality that's how there scamming people without knowing a tip is already in the bill . I don't agree with this at all. I will never ever eat here again and I hope you read my message and don't eat here as well. By the way the food isn't even good to be demanding a tip, I'd rate the food 6/10 . Very cheaply made food . read more

This place is pretty much ass! It's a buffet, usually you can find a few thing that are decent. I didn't. I had to go home and lick a dogs ass to get the flavor out of my mouth. read more

A solid Chinese spot in Modesto! The food is consistent and there are many options like sushi, fried chicken, chow mein, jello, pudding, etc. It's usually busy but more than enough seating is available. The servers automatically serve beverages and refill often. It's definitely a casual environment and most people come with their families. I love that they give fortune cookies at the end when you get your check! read more

Huge selection and food was good. Price is slightly below your average Chinese buffet. I like the sesame dough balls and cheese wonton. read more

One of the few Chinese buffets here in the small town of Modesto, but better than the others in the area. The place appears cleaner and the staffs seem friendlier and more attentive as they regularly come check on your table for water refills, clear plates, more napkins, etc. Plenty of parking outside. Was not not too busy but not slow either for a Sunday afternoon. Not too many selections, but for $15.99 per adult can't complain, and at least they have oysters, clams, mussels, Dungeness crabs, calamari, crawfish, and a few basic sushi items as the highlight! Modesto City is not like Vegas, Reno, or the bigger cities, so can't expect much. But if you're looking for a decent Chinese buffet for a decent price with decent selections, then this place might be what you're looking for. FUN FACT: Modesto may be a small city but it's BiG by reputation. How? The creator of Star Wars & Indiana Jones (George Lucas) and the actor Jeremy Renner both grew up in Modesto. The little famous Gallo Winery is from Modesto, and when its first Gallo Winery museum opened up in downtown Modesto many years back, the original Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) came to endorse its grand opening! read more

Definitely the best buffet in the area. It's affordable and the food is really good. They're very attentive when you need refills. Been coming here for a long while. Never anything to complain honestly. read more

I dont like eating anywhere where the waitress is hovering over you or constantly watching you. Last time I went I paid for a table of 3 and we each had only 2 plates and a drink when the waiter decided to bill me. I'm like wtf? I was mad inside but I took that bill to the front, paid it without tipping them. I'm very dissatisfied and this place gives me a weird vibe not to mention I came here numerous times and spent a lot of money. Food sometimes good and bad. Calamari is overcooked like rubber, chicken wings sometimes has a stinky taste to it meaning expired. Stay away from the sushi roll. I see who works back there, stop being cheap and hire some real chefs. It's not polite to stand there and constantly watches us customers eating or getting food. Make us feel like we at home. Until then I will no longer eat at grand buffet. read more

Enjoyed the meals and service as well. My kids ate up the crab and the other seafood available. The setting was calm I chose a great time. Will go back read more

We were in the hunt for a buffet place and we decided to go here for lunch. Lunch for 4 costs a total of $84. The food here seem ok. They have a large selection of seafood. They have sushi, salt & pepper squid, shrimp, crab, mussels, cajun seafood, fish. The orange chicken and fried chicken was pretty good but the salt and pepper squid was hard. They didn't seem to have a lot of dessert options. read more

Food was ok. $73 for 3 buffet plates was pretty crazy. Automatically assumed my ten year old daughter was an adult.They charge her for an adult plate. Up charged me big time, but I didn't feel like arguing. read more

This place is pretty decent. Came here on a Sunday and was very impressed with the variety of seafood.

This buffet was just alright just like I other AYCE buffets nothing special, just over priced because of the lobster. You can have only 1 lobster tail but it wasn't even that good, didn't have the sweet fresh taste. read more

Called on a Friday afternoon inquiring about a Saturday lunch pricing for a party of 7. We were told $15.99. Saturday arrived, went down for our lunch gathering and paid the bill. After getting home we realized we were charged $21.99 not the $15.99. Called the restaurant and spoke with "Lucy" (for which she represented herself as "the Manager". Come to find out she was actually the owner.) I calmly discussed my grievance of overcharge and was told it's $21.99/all day dinner" on Weekends. I agreed with her after reviewing her price structure she described yet was told a different price the day before. I described the pricing we were given the day before yet she said "she didn't care", "I didn't answer the phone yesterday and told nobody the price all day"., as if she was the only person of 15+ staff members who answered the phone in Fridays. I simply asked for the difference or some sort of "adjustment" due to incorrect information was given. Several minutes of her putting The phone down, being told to "wait!,,just wait!". She then hung up the phone deliberately! I immediately called back to my surprise, a different employee answered the phone and asked "who the owner was", the nice girl said "LUCY"!. I explained Lucy represented herself as the manager, yet would no longer speak to me. I asked if she would like me to come down and speak in person regarding this issue and she then told the girl to "hang up the phone on him!", for which she did. Epilogue of the store is: beware of what you're being billed for! She (owner Lucy), seems to care little about customer service. I could have been writing a nice wonderful review yet she chose to care less about her customer concerns. The rest f my party and I will not be returning and you may see additional reviews with negative connotations as well. Maybe there is some truth to the 3 star reviews... Good luck folks!! read more

Food was super cold and had no flavor whatsoever. Didn't bother staying more than 20mins because the food was that bad. It gave me and my friend a stomachache after as well. read more
