The place is good and the staff is very friendly the place just doesn't really look so clean but they do have good options

I eat here fairly often. The buffet is pretty good, though it's almost always the same thing. They have a good hibachi/ Mongolian bbq bar as well as normal Chinese stuff. The sushi is only fair. Everything else is good to excellent. Better than average for a buffet. Service is okay, and ambiance the same as every other Chinese restaurant. They have take out available, both from the buffet priced per pound, as well as made to order stuff. The sweet and sour chicken is especially good. read more

Grand Buffet in Pace is a decent option if you're looking for a quick buffet meal. They have a good variety of dishes to choose from, including Chinese favorites, seafood, and some American options. The food was okay overall, though some items were better than others depending on when they were put out. The restaurant was clean and the staff were polite. It's not the best buffet I've ever had, but it's a reasonable option if you're in the area and want something quick with lots of choices. read more

This is like going home for an hour. The people are great! Kind, helpful, polite, glad you came, attentive, ! The food is all comfort food both Chinese & American and it is easy to find what you liked the last time, they don't shuffle food around on the buffet. The décor is older and clean. If you are feeling like you need a break, this is the place to recover. read more

Overall pretty disappointing. Not the best selection and food didn't taste fresh. Hot water was not consistently running over the ice cream scoop which bothered me a little... Sushi, Rice, and chicken was decent. Tried to up charge us for a kid's buffet... $9.99 for adult which is pretty good. read more

On 10 28 25 around 6 or 7pm. My wife,daughter and myself ate and was great the food and service was great. We usually drive from Flomaton,Alabama to eat and the buffet never disappoints. Also the other customers were friendly and smiled! I wanted to thank the fireman and his wife for their service but they left before I got back from the bar. There's so many choices! Definitely will be back. read more

This place has been here forever and it's a solid Chinese buffet. Don't come expecting fine dining - the booths are a bit dated as well as the decor, but the food is on point. It's always refreshed, they have sushi and hibachi options also. I particularly enjoy the frog legs and peanut chicken. Waitress is always friendly and keeps your drinks full. Not a better deal in Pace for under $15 a plate (kids are less based on age). Plenty of desserts to chose from including ice cream. read more

Dirty inside, the food looks as if it's been on the buffet for days on out. I would recommend not wasting your money here.

I recently ate at the Grand Buffet. The place was clean and service along with the prices were decent. The Hibachi grill is probably the best part of the deal where you choose your raw food and the hibachi cook prepares it for you on the spot. Only issue I had here was the very nice hibachi cook was Hispanic and didn't speak a word of English so trying to get something cooked a certain way was almost impossible. There were a lot of buffet options on the bars but I personally didn't care for the flavors here. I doubt I would ever eat there again only because there are several better Asian buffets in the area. You should give it a try and see what you think. read more

We dine here all the time. Food is always good. Service is great. Prices are competitive. Healthy selection of veggies and meats and the hibachi is a 10. No negative reviews here. Anyone not "overly picky" will enjoy the place. It is what it is. read more

The food here is horrible!!! My first bite of stuffed shrimp had to be spit out. Temperature of the food was luke warm. I tried a bite of the sushi...YUCK!! While all the servers, except the hostess, were extremely nice, that doesn't make up for the food. My husband paid our bill at the front. When the hostess saw there was no tip added she gave him a dirty look. We had left a cash tip on the table. Don't waste your time on this place! read more

We were grateful they were open on Christmas. Buffet was two was just under $20. The food was what you paid for. The fried rice was bland, but edible. The items from the buffet I enjoyed were the sweet and sour chicken, without the sauce. It looked dark and dried out, but it was good. The house chicken was good, but there was barely any in the pan; it was never restocked while we were there. The spring rolls were ok. The ice cream was very yummy. Didn't try the sushi, it looked sketchy. The service was very friendly. Restaurant was dark and table wobbled. Again, it was less then $20 for two people. Don't know that we will come back, but we ate on Christmas and I don't have to cook. read more

Not sure why they are getting low reviews. The food is one of the best around. Buffet is well stocked with a variety of food. Sesame chicken is crispy and sweet, delicious. Service was attentive and pleasant. The interior has some wear noted but it is a beautiful restaurant. read more

My family of 4 went there last night for dinner. It's been about a year and now I remember why... The vegetable lo mein had barely any vegetables and the noodles were spaghetti noodles. That is not a substitution for lo mien which, that did not pass with my family. All the food is fried greasy food and that's not what Chinese food should be. Please go back to how the menu use to be, that was worth it:) read more

Imagine a second or third-tier thrift store, sagging water-stained ceiling tiles, chipped paint, with an over-worked dehumidifier sitting in the open dumping water into a bucket, and the temperature being a balmy mid 70 degrees. Now, buy Sushi from there. The staff was very nice, but the food is bland, lukewarm, and the entire time in the back of your head you know you're risking food poisoning. Luckily, it turned out okay. Again, very sweet people, but dang. read more

terrible place! smells bad. food on buffet cold. chairs are ripped up. Service was not any better than any thing out of normal.

Foods good and there is a good selection, service is slow but adequate. I love their peel and eat shrimp and coconut shrimp.crab Rangoon is good as well as as sweet and sour chicken read more

For a $10 ayce lunch option , this place is pretty damned good! The service is okay, but the amount of options that you have of piping hot, delicious Chinese food at a price you can't beat, keeps us coming back! read more

I got UberEats delivery. My food purchase was $60, with delivery fee, tax and tip, it was $101. I have NO problem paying that much if my food was edible!! Not one of the three of us could eat any of it. We ordered Orange chicken, egg foo young, beef Lo mein, Generals chicken & Mongolian beef to share. The egg foo young was the only thing swallowable! We literally, had to spit it out. This was the WORST Chinese food I've ever had in my 52 years! Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!! Absolutely foul. read more

Have come here twice now, last night (Tuesday at 6 pm) being the second time. We came twice to see if the first time was a fluke or if it truly was just that bad. Everything was luke warm or even to the point of being cold. Most food items looked like the plastic display models at carnivals and fairs. You would need an ice pick and a blow torch just to cut through the top layer of the "soups" they had on "display". The meat on the hibachi bar looked so foul I was afraid as to what it even was. The "beef" didn't even form to each other like normal beef would lay in a tray if you set it out, rather each piece was rigid and an odd beat looking color. The chicken you could tell had been sitting out before the question of if the egg came before the chicken. Everything was just vile in appearance. I tried to snap some pictures while I was there, but one of the little children who was running around the joint presumably one of the staffs children) caught me snapping pictures and told on me. Haha. The flavor of the few things I found that didn't appear to be made before the Chinese inquisition was decent but even then only maybe a 2, in terms of ranking. The staff is incredibly unfriendly; I don't know if it's a language barrier or just flat out being rude. We walked in and said hello, and the lady just stood there on her phone, while the young man next to her played on his phone with (I'm assuming) his child; whom he had at his workplace? After about 3-4 minutes we were finally acknowledged with a "how many?" And then brought to our table. Throughout the meal there was never a "thank you, please, hello, how are you" or any other basic form of communication. The only good part of the entire meal was the Hershey's ice cream that they had tucked in a little corner. But the ice cream scoops were sitting in a water that looked like it was fermenting, because the faucet was not kept running. I made sure to turn it on full blast as to try and rid what ever Loch Ness monster was swimming beneath the surface. If you'd like to experience what turmoil is like, choose the Grand Buffet in Pace, FL where all your dreams of decaying meat, rotten soup, and 2 day old food await you. read more

It was a buffet. We'll give it that, but the food wasn't very good. Some of the sushi looked as if it had been there for a while and the other items were less than appealing. $11.99 is not a bad price honestly if you're going to eat 3 plates full of crab rangoon and spring rolls. read more

Absolutely terrible. The staff barely spoke to us, and the food was cold, had no taste, and looked unappealing. I'll never go here again.

Very covid friendly, plastic fork and spoon, Styrofoam cups already filled with your choice of drink, very large you want need a refill. Plates throw them away, get another. Large garbage can for that. You want have a waitress. Which I enjoyed since I have a hard time understanding them. Buffet was good, they keep it full, and hot. read more

Needs 0 or minus star rating. The most appetizing thing in the buffet was the bottled hot sauce. Everything was exactly the same, tasteless, rubbery meats in tasteless greasy coating with sugary bland sauce. Absolutely strongly recommend saving your money or going to a fast food place instead. read more

overall the buffet it self is very nice, but honestly most of the food was just gross and sloppy. And for what you pay for it, it should better. either way it's off my list read more

We've come several times for weeknight dinner but have yet to come for lunch. The restaurant is quiet and not so busy, but I have never had an issue with the food. It's always been hot, tasty, and cooked correctly. They have a large selection of traditional Chinese buffet foods: general tso's chicken, lo mein, Fried rice, a variety of soups; the standard "American" table of fries, chicken wings, etc., a large dessert stand filled with fruits, puddings, cakes, and ice cream; and the best part: fresh meats and vegetables to give to a Hibachi chef to cook for you. The service has always been warm and friendly. Prices are reasonable. They do offer take out. read more

I have came to this location prior with no issue but after today I will not anymore. I came In get a togo lunch which I usually do. As I am getting food a lady comes from the back and approached me. She points directly into my food box to let me know sushi must be paid for separate. She had on NO GLOVES OR MASK. And she proceeded to point inside my box directly at my sushi. At that point I was disgusted and I left the box in the front. We are still in a pandemic that was beyond disgusting and I hope employees are eventually trained on how food safety works. That is beyond unsanitary. read more

It's very interesting to read these older reviews as I can only expect this place to have changed a lot. They offer hibachi with their buffet which is usually the main thing I go for. Beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, krab (yeah fake) are the options for their hibachi. Including multiple vegetables and 2 types of noodles. The buffet by itself is okay - I didn't notice lukewarm food at all, it's been warm every time I've been (5 to 6x now). The people working there have always been friendly to me as well. I can only conclude that this place has changed drastically in the last year and should deserve another look. read more

Absolutely avoid this place at all cost - I got food poisoning, and chances are you will too. Had dinner on a Sunday (all cooked food, no sushi) and as of Tuesday afternoon I still feel miserable. The food was very average to begin with, but not worth writing a review... However, given the fact that everything I've eaten since goes right through me, I'm here to let y'all know you're taking your chances if you eat here. read more

Nasty Nasty Nasty $36 for three people and for what?food was cold and flavorless very disappointed that I didn't leave the joint sooner than I did read more

My husband,son and I went in there last night to eat. The entire place has a very strange odor. The food was horrible. Very bland had no flavor at all. Everything was over cooked.It was as though it had been sitting in the buffet line all day. I will never go back and would encourage everyone else to try somewhere else. YUCK! read more

None of these reviews quite do justice to how horrible this place is. Nothing was at the right temperature, warm stuff colfd, cold stuff warm. The desserts were even awful. Sushi was okay. Hibachi was okay at best. I always like to end on a positive note. So....the water was good. Don't say you weren't warned. read more

Just your typical Chinese Buffet. They've got a 'Mongolian Bar' and a sushi bar, and I guess a standard selection of other foods. Other Chinese Buffets in the area are better - China Sea in Milton, and there's another down 90 over the bridge in Pensacola. The ambiance of this place is a little nicer, and although the food wasn't bad, I probably won't be making my way back to this one again. read more

I'm vacillating between two and three stars for this place. There is a huge variety of things to eat, but there wasn't much of any one thing. Each steam table pan held about a plate's-worth of food, but, of course, most people take a little of several different selections. Nothing was piping hot, except the hot and sour soup, which had a pronounced scorched taste. Other dishes were tepid, and the chicken wings were cool. I take that back...if you trolled the buffet with aplomb, you could catch a sizzling spring or egg roll, but whoopee...both of those were completely meatless and 98% shredded cabbage. I saw a sliver of carrot every third bite, but everything else was plain cabbage. The selections were very chicken oriented. There was one beef dish, with not much beef. I don't remember a pork dish. There were a few shrimp selections and a baked fish. A couple of fake "crab" dishes, too. There is a do-it-yourself hibachi bar, where you assemble a plate of raw ingredients and they'll cook it for you. That's included in the cost of the buffet, but I didn't have time for that. Nobody else did, either, that I witnessed. It was Sunday evening and not very busy, which may be a different situation than normal. It was clean and the staff was the usual, reticent help that you find in Chinese eateries. Not friendly, really, but not overtly rude. Efficient, I suppose. I'd go back on a busier night, just to see if the buffet is refilled better. I'd also like to try the hibachi thing. But the spring and egg rolls suck. Put some other stuff in those things! Meat, especially. Three stars instead of two, just because it was after 8 on a Sunday night and that's probably not a representative visit. read more

The food was soggy and bland. Not very fresh, and boring. We tried the place twice in case it was just a bad day, but no luck. Almost no customers were there both evenings we went, which was a telling sign. At least the decor is nice. read more

Grand Buffet in Pace was a joke. We understand about COVID but it was going a little too far with foam plates, plastic silverware and you had to bus your own table. Everyone eating there was touching the serving spoons. Could have gone to McDonalds for that. Never going there again. Giving one star was being generous. read more

We were in town today, a Sunday. While the food was nothing spectacular, we were impressed that the food on the buffet was fresh at mid afternoon (around 345 pm). The hibachi chef prepared my hibachi order perfectly. Most hibachi chefs go "too far" and the food will taste charred. My vegetable plate retained is crispy texture and didn't taste charred at all. I seasoned with ginger and garlic sauce which proved to be a great combination!! The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to our table. The cashier was friendly and pleasant. Would we go back? Most likely. Like I stated, nothing was off the charts amazing, but it was not bad either! It was a good stop on an unxepected trip through town read more

It was just like any other Chinese buffet. They all taste the same to me, at least here in the states. The food wasn't real fresh, most of my food was kinda warm...borderline cold. I didn't eat anything from the hibachi or sushi bar though. I have a complaint but not a complaint only about this place. Why don't Chinese restaurants have good desserts? That must be why they are so thin. Anyways, since I live near the Place, I'll be going back to get my Chinese buffet fix. I hope they seat me in a booth without ripped seats next time. I had shorts on so it tore my legs up a bit. Military discount is always a plus, too! read more

I should've gone to Panda Express. The food was luke warm and not that great. The best thing there was the watermelon.
