Grand Buffet - North Charleston, South Carolina
We Stayed There Rating: 3.9/5
If you're looking for a solid Chinese buffet in North Charleston without putting a serious dent in your wallet, Grand Buffet delivers a pretty good experience.
Right from the entrance, the restaurant makes a nice first impression. The buffet area is beautifully decorated, and the dining room offers plenty of seating with some nice projection-image décor that gives the space a little more character than your typical buffet.
The staff was friendly and attentive, regularly checking on customers and keeping things moving. We also had no wait for a table, which is always a good way to start when you arrive hungry!
At around $16 per person, the price felt right on point for what you get. Grand Buffet is more of a mid-sized buffet, but there was still a good variety of food to choose from, with plenty of options to make a few trips around the buffet worthwhile.
Unfortunately, there was one miss--and naturally, it had to be one of my favorites. The fish I normally look forward to at a Chinese buffet wasn't quite up to temperature and was a little cold. The flavor wasn't necessarily the problem; it just needed to be hotter. Nothing ruins that triumphant walk back from the buffet quite like discovering your favorite item needed a little more time under the heat lamp.
Overall, though, that was the only real downside to an otherwise enjoyable visit. Between the friendly service, attractive atmosphere, good selection, reasonable price and zero wait, Grand Buffet earns a solid 3.9 out of 5 stars.
FINAL RATING: 3.9/5
Would we return? Absolutely. Hopefully next time the fish is hot and ready for its redemption tour.
