I was truly impressed by the amount of items that were good. The only ok items were two of the cakes. I had hot and sour soup, bok choy, boneless spare ribs, sea bass, shrimp, pepper steak. All were very good. The desserts were ok. Chocolate chip cookie and almond cookie were very good. The place was immaculately clean. The people were very nice. read more

Food was terrible, and buffets are generally gross. There were multiple men coughing on the food and no one doing anything about it. Gross.

Ok let me start off with I hate gimmicks...I mean HATE gimmicks. Tried this restaurant with family for the very first time last night for a nice valentines dinner. The restaurant is about 40 miles south of NYC, is located in a strip mall and has ample, free parking. The incentive for driving all the way to this venue is that it offers an all you can eat seafood buffet which includes snow crab legs and ginger scallion lobster, which is only available on certain holidays, this being one of them. The price is also very reasonable at around $25 a person. The venue is typical of most all you can eat Chinese buffets, was clean, and allows you to BYOB which they kindly open for you. The restaurant offers a variety of items all of which were VERY GOOD, light and not salty or overly greasy like most buffets. My problem with this location is that we paid a set price for a seafood buffet and barely had any seafood b/c there wasn't enough or the trays were empty after 5 minutes of being placed out. The lobster was served in a super small tray, you had to wait in line for a small portioned bowl, provided to you by staff, and they would run out in 5 minutes and tell you more is being made, which took another 20 minutes...the crab legs were non-existent. I felt like the all you can eat lobster/crab legs was a complete gimmick to get you into the restaurant. Of the items I did try, I was very pleased. I tried the cream shrimp, steak, and stuffed clams as well as various sushi items which were very fresh and delicious. I eventually was able to try the lobster and felt it was good but not great. One tip that could be helpful is to go after the prime dinner hours, after 8pm, bc clearly the restaurant could not keep up with the amount of people that came in during the 6-7 pm shift. I noticed that the lobster was no longer being "guarded" after 8pm bc the amount of people in the venue had significantly decreased. There were still no crab legs in sight though. The restaurant also has a typical dessert section with various cookies and cakes as well as ice cream and fresh fruits. The almond cookies were delicious. Again, don't get me wrong, the food was very good. I just believe if you advertise something you should stick to it. read more

I like the food assortment. I dont have to have Ribs ect. I like the egg rolls and pepper steak, ect. Perfect for me. I only gave 4 stars because the staff is a little shy. read more

Been coming here for 20 years... always a pleasure! Best spare ribs you'll find in a buffet, plus the dumplings and shrimp dishes are amazing! read more

OK, I am DEFINITELY a fan! This place is fresh, selections are plenty - and the food is DELISH. Staff was a bit standoffish at first (hence the 4 stars) but they do grow on you after a while. I should know, I've been coming here a while. I DREAM of their seafood selection - really the best around!! My favorite is the white fish with garlic sauce and the sushi - definitely a large selection! Will be back again!! read more

Note: This is really 3 1/2 stars. The reason I went with 3 is because this almost two restaurants, one 4 star, and one 2 star. Let's get 2 star out of the way: on a weekday, the food is often dried out, not replenished, and generally bleh. On a weekend, it becomes REALLY nice, for only like $2 more. The food is as good as it used to be, there's lobster and (if you like this sort of thing, which I do) a Mongoloian barbecue with a really nice chef behind the counter. The staff, regardless of the day, are friendly and helpful. The seafood options make it worth the cost of admission (although you should get the lobster when it first comes out; there are some nice meaty pieces, which enough people know about that they go quickly). read more

The Grand Buffet has always been a go-to for our family and we have been coming for years and years. The food is always fresh and they have a great variety of foods. The hibachi area is awesome. You can pick from a variety of raw meats, veggies, egg, and noodles, then you pick a sauce and they will cook it fresh for you! We also LOVE when they have the ginger scallion lobster pieces. It is so delicious and they refill it very often. They used to only have lobster for special occasions (Father's Day, Christmas, NYE) but they had it on a weekend not that long ago and it was an exciting surprise! We will continue to come back here and recommend other do the same! read more

after going and eating with my family the foods where cold no clean utensils the steak was raw and red and getting food poisoning throwing up multiple times and go to the bathroom many times do not recommend going here for your safety read more

I went to this buffet based on a live review on YouTube. I was very disappointed for that price point! It was touted as a great place for seafood but came away disappointed! The crab was a joke. Eating a mushy substance is not crab. As for the lobster false advertisement, nothing but scraps when I was there. With tip 30.00 not worth it, even the hibachi was less than appealing read more

Best Chinese Buffet I've even been to. Came for lunch at 3pm on a Friday, and the place was jamming. Lots of ppl for 3pm. I soon found out why. Great sushi bar, widest selection ever. They even have a lo mein station with a chef there cooking it up for ya. Everything I tasted was delicious. read more

We were really impressed by The Grand Buffet the first few times we ate here in the Pre-COVID Era of American History. The buffet was clean, spacious and had a great selection of different food including Sushi & Wok plates. After visiting recently the menu has been converted to more of an All You Can Eat style and there are noticeably less items to pick from. You circle the food you want on their paper menu and cross your fingers it will be good when it's served, which wasn't the case for the most part. The dining experience and food has significantly declined in quality. Hoping The Grand Buffet makes a full recovery from the uncontrollable issues affecting its well being. read more

This shit tastes so good worlds best sushi is in this place the things here tastes so good

I visited this place last week. Everything was delicious and there was a large selection

Their pork dumplings and chicken on a stick were raw. Brought up to a waitress. Who then showed a manager. Manager claimed the pink color was from soy sauce 2 days marinating. I threw up after and they couldn't refund my seat. They said they'd bring it up to the chef, though. read more

The previous reviews said this buffet had improved. Sadly this is not the case, the food quality is sub par and it was cold. Don't waste your money on this one McDonald's across the street would be a better choice. They also have raw seafood right next to the deserts. read more

If I could give it a negative star I would ! Worst experience ever. We get seated and drink order taken , the server throws the straws on the table and walks away .. no hi nothing just what are you drinking and tosses the straws . Ok no problem, I'm here for the food , server is having a bad day I guess . Sushi was brown and very limited options compared to other buffets , the hibachi guy was no where to be found . My son went to use the bathroom and flush the toilet , the pipe busted and the toilet literally was detached from the wall , soaked him in god knows what , the water was flooding the bathroom and going out into the hallway .. my husband went and asked for a manager and the manager said and what do you want me to do about that .. We had to leave early and not finish our food because my son was covered in but Still charged me full price . Shut this place down ! read more

Grand Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

One of better buffets I have been to. Clean location, going above and beyond to maintain proper covid protocols. Sushi is great. Everything is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

PROS: This was a nice buffet that a few great friends recommended to me. It's ran by Asians so it's very clean and organized. The atmosphere is good, the price per person is great, and it gives you a variety of different types of food that taste nice! CONS: unfortunately half the staff doesn't speak English and the bathroom is small compared to the size crowd it holds OVERALL: this is one of my favorite local buffets to go to and I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area read more

We came here tonight and it was so awesome! The food was so fresh and the service was great too! Sign up for email specials too!

This is not a good place for good Chinese buffet. The food is so dry and no flavor. The seafood dishes are not fresh. Never go back there again. Waste of money. read more

Unremarkable and average buffet. Paid $17 per adult on a Monday night . The food wasn't bad but it was great either . Desert selection was slim, with soft serve (vanilla, chocolate or twist) being the standout favorite . I ate lots of green beans, broccoli and baby bok Choi . The sushi was mediocre and I wasn't particularly tempted by it. Pretty sure I wouldn't go back here again, simply because it was a painfully average experience. read more

Food was horrible from the Hibachi their was hair in our food the pizza was frozen and everything else tasted really bad the desserts were decent, service was horrible, took 20 minutes to make a table for us, It's very dirty, people say it's good but the food is very poorly cooked,Hibachi person only puts lo mein on the stove for 3 seconds and hands it to you,overall not a big fan, would not suggest to go here if you want to read more

Taste: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Cleanliness: 5 stars Interior: 5 stars Price: 6 stars (if I can give more than 5) I got other stars: Like that idiot "Chloe L." who commented that brought in an EXPIRED coupon to save ONE FREAKIN' dollar and complained that it expired.. 1 star.. Like how yelp thinks "This place was abousulty terrible I saw 2 people having sex on the table complete gros" is actually a valid comment: 0 star. Who da f*ck goes to a chinese buffet to publicly have sex? I'm sure that's what people who are stuffed must be thinking.. " full ? let's f*ck!". Yeah I'm sure this is a completely legit review from non-competitor or maybe even yelp employee trying to extort advertising payment in exchange for "filtered" review. People who complain about price when they can run a ALL YOU CAN EAT buffet for $10? 1 star. If you can think you can run a hyper slim margin business at this price, why don't u shut your traps and try & do it yourself instead of b*tching and complaining? These immigrant workers work 12+ hours a day to serve your self-entitled asses at more than reasonable prices. In conclusion: this place is awesome. I will come back again. read more

This is one of worst management possible had. I walk in & show them the email I received yesterday 03/25 whom run for the special lunch $9.99 + soda include tax Mon-Wed.. The guy immediately say the ad stated expired date Feb 13. This is no longer valid. Therefore I have to pay $10.99 + tax etc. This is not the matter of money but the attitude. The man was rude and useless. DON'T ever come to this joint. read more

While this buffet being quite and calm despite the other reviews, the food was average. And the mood of the place confuses me. It's like they try to be an American Buffet, (with chicken nuggets and garlic bread) and also a regular Chinese food place. But that doesn't have anything to do with the food or staff. Food; decent, sometimes cold and chewy but otherwise ok Staff. Well dressed and they look proper but the waitress did not introduce herself, and instead yelled from across the dining room where we sat asking, "what do we want to drink". When checking out, much confusion about the check, and the guy at the desk as well as the waitress were very rude about the whole situation. (What was even weirder was the guy at the desk was talking to us and while we were mid conversation, he took something out of his mouth and threw it away. Very unprofessional) Overall: no screaming children, none running around but definitely not the best place. Let's put it this way, you don't want to bring your spouse, family, or anyone important. Only stop for a quick meal. I hope the next customer has a better experience then I had. TIP: if you get the sausage and onions, don't eat the onions. Undercooked and I'm about to cry. read more

Grand buffet should got beyond 5 stars. I don't understand how come people can rate them lower than 5 stars. They have amazing food with low price. How can they run the business by giving such a great quality food and so much variety food. I love the grill shrimp , bbq pork, chicken and fresh Hibachi. The restaurant is very clean . even the bathroom is so clean. I went there on the busy lunch time but all the area in the restaurant are so clean. Thanks to the owner for your kindness that charging a very-low price but giving a great quality food and good service. I will definitely go there again. It is worth driving from Fort lee . Really Appreciate that you guys come across the world to cooked the great food for us and charge a small money. Please keep going your great work. ! I solute you read more

I never ever do buffets. Not sure why I decided to try it out tonight. Staff was nice. Place was nice and open. Food was less than desired. Cold chewy meats and some random liquid on the raw clams and mussels that freaked us out. Honestly nothing from the buffet was good. Hibachi was the only saving grace. read more

I actually have a pretty high tolerance for lackluster Chinese, fast-food. Grand Buffet sets a new low for quality (taste). Since Covid, they have closed the buffet (which was ok for buffet food). It's mostly order and dine in or take out. The take out is inedible. I ordered General Tso's chicken for lunch. The General would be turning over in his grave if he knew how bad it tasted. The only reason I didn't rate it lower is because the staff is nice and polite. Go to McDonalds, Burger King, or even White Castle. At least you know what you're getting. Here, it seems to taste like a mystery. read more

Been going for decades and will be back until they pack it in or I do. Always start with a kettle of hot tea and then an assault on the bars of filled with a wonderful selection of every Chinese food delight, sushi, and a fresh hibachi grill (plus even pizza and nuggies for the little buggers). For your post meal and pre-fortune cookie sweet tooth, there's desserts from cakes, pudding and jello to the ever popular soft serve ice cream. All for an amazingly reasonable price. Make the trek. read more

We were vacationing in Northern New Jersey, this place was across SR 17 from our hotel. Originally a typical buffet, do to Covid 19 they've updated the system. They now have you sit at tables and pick what you want to eat from a large list, each item is served individually in a small serving size container. Offered sushi also. Pretty good food, good service, clean, very little to complain about here. Nice job Grand Buffet. read more

I miss having lobsters in the weekends. Now the price I pay does not match with the foods I get.

I love going to the grand buffet because there's lots of delicious food to choose from and the food is very delicious. My favorite foods to eat there are sushi, noodles, soups, spare ribs, and seafood read more

Grand Buffet - Raw clams, sushi, and crab salad - Buffets Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

What can I say... it's like any other typical Chinese buffet. Came here for Father's Day because my Dad likes an all-you-can-eat. Seating is either at a booth or a table. It can seem like a maze trying to get to the buffet if there are a high volume of tables being used. Service is attentive, for being a place where you serve yourself. And the food is average, with no one item standing out as being the best. In addition to the pile of thin napkins on the table, moist towelettes would also be helpful as they offer quite a few eat-it-with-your-hands items. All in all my experience wasn't terrible, but it wasn't spectacular. And they seem to have their share of regulars, so that's gotta count for something. read more

We went back yesterday and was very impressed with how delicious everything was. Again don't expect too much because this is a all you can eat place but everything was very fresh, hot and delicious. Food here was not overly sweet like other buffet places and had tons of seafood options and also vegetables. Waitresses were also super friendly and accommodating to us. Will definitely be back again read more

This place was yummy but there were some flaws like how the egg rolls and the gyoza(dumplings) tasted a little raw inside and the sushi was soft and did not taste too fresh. The pork chops weren't very warm but the other foods were. The salt and pepper chicken barely had any meat on it either. Other than the food, the interior is nice, spacious, and seems clean. My family enjoyed the ice cream machine (vanilla, chocolate, mix) and there were sprinkles. The desserts like the mini chocolate cake were a little hard and I'm not sure whether that was on purpose or not. Overall, the food is tasty and edible but not the best. The waitress that was here spoke and understood English and she was polite. I'm not sure who handles the other customers but we had a good experience with our waitress. There is also free wifi (you have to login). I would come back here but it would not be my first choice. read more

First, remember that a Chinese buffet isn't striving for a Michelin star. What they give - and what I want - is standard takeout fare in an AYCE setting. I don't live very close to this location, but when my favorite buffet place in Bergenfield closed, I went searching for alternatives. Found an expensive one in Saddle Brook. Wasted my time and money at horrible quality buffets in Lodi and East Rutherford. Then I tried Grand Buffet and found an ideal price/quality balance. At dinner, they offer actual Chinese BBQ ribs on the bone. Love it! The pepper steak is tasty. The rice noodles were excellent. I tried a little of this and that - that's the point, isn't it? When you add up ribs, egg roll, soups plus some entree food, you're definitely getting your money's worth at dinner. I love ending my meals with fruit and soft serve ice cream. The pineapple is fresh, not canned. The cantaloupe was good and reasonably ripe. Grand Buffet definitely delivers what a Chinese buffet should at a reasonable price. It's a long drive for me, but I'll make it again. read more

One of the better buffets around It is a medium sized buffet with fresher food than the others. Selection was very good and had many non Chinese items The only bad thing was there clams - they were in murky water and had very little flavor Will be back read more

if you're a buffet snob I could see why you wouldn't be impressed. we saw some of the reviews and managed our own expectations when coming in for dinner and we were quite pleasantly surprised. it was super affordable for the value that you get. we came for a dinner and adults were around $23 while my child who's 5 was just $8. we frequent buffets ourselves and what we found surprising was the mountain of lobster (cantonese style) was replenished multiple times during our time dining here. they cleaned our plates timely and there was a good variety of choices for dinner. it would have been 5 stars had their wings been up to par (they're not bad, I've just had better), and if their cheesy baked seafood didn't have so many veggie fillers. it just didn't taste like the usual cheesy baked seafood (imitation crab). I would recommend it for anyone traveling thru and just looking for a simple dinner where you won't need to spend an arm and a leg. read more
