As any Chinese Buffett goes, service is quick, easy, and they sorta stay out of your way other than refills. Great food selection (the Black Pepper Chicken is by far one of the best entrees in the entire city, full stop). Wait times are non-existent, and even has a sushi bar! The interior is kinda funny in that the main dining hall looks like a large Long John Silvers/oceanside shack, but I dig the vibe! read more

It was bad. Hardly any 'Chinese food' options. For someone who doesn't eat seafood or sushi, hard pass. Everything was dried out and just slightly off. The 'fried rice' was not fried rice. All the desert was off, even the ice cream. Couldn't find soy sauce, couldn't find the waitress to ask for it either. It looks nice when you walk in. Not going back. read more

The family and I frequently visited Grand China Buffet in the past for the crab legs that they evidently no longer serve. The buffet was abundant with a variety of Chinese dishes. My last visit there was not a place that I would recommend to anyone who likes Chinese food. The buffet was shortened with less food available and was slightly dried out. Nothing to complaint about the service, it was great as always. Things need to change before we will go back. read more

The worst restaurant ever they need to shut this place down first of all the food was terrible and definitely not worth the $18

The Grand China Buffet is super close to our house and we hadn't been there in a long time, so decided to pop in recently. It is pretty inexpensive, but unfortunately, you definitely get what you pay for in that respect. The decor is pretty cute, with little Pixiu dragons outside the entrance, high vaulted ceilings in the dining area letting lots of natural light in, and murals of different Chinese cities. But what really matters is the food when you're there for a meal, and the offerings were pretty standard, but nothing to write home about or plan a return visit. At any buffet, I like to get a small amount of each thing I'd like to try, instead of one large plate of one entree (I would go to non-buffet option for that). I started with a few appetizer style items: -Corn: This tasted like canned corn that you'd have at home, so a little disappointing. -Lo Mein: Okay for lo mein noodles, but pretty dry. I mixed this with some of the sauce of the proteins I got, so that helped. -Crab Rangoon: Not the best Rangoon I've ever had, but I did like the shape (little flower bud style) and the thinner consistency of the wonton. -Pork Bao: I was excited for this, but it ended up being very doughy with one tiny sliver of the Pork inside. For the entrees, I had small portions of a handful of them: -Black Pepper Chicken: This was actually pretty tasty and flavorful with the pepperiness. -Pepper Steak: This was similar to the Black Pepper Chicken, but it was a non-breaded style like the chicken had been so a different consistency. -Peanut Butter Chicken: One of my go-to favorites when I go to Chinese restaurants. This one was pretty dry and crispy so not the best texture of flavor I've had for this dish. -Broccoli Chicken: Another of my favorites usually, and this one wasn't terrible. The brown sauce was nice and the chicken was pretty juicy. -General Tso Chicken: I think this was my favorite of the entrees I tried. It had the sweetness along with a slight spice, so it wasn't a one-note flavor or too sweet, like some can be. And then for the dessert options, there were a few hits and misses: -The fried donuts were amazing, but you HAVE to eat them when they are hot and fresh. They become hard as a rock if you let them get cold. -There was a dark chocolate cake, that was the driest thing I had ever put in my mouth. I don't recommend that cake. -They had a cooler with Blue Bunny ice cream, and you can't go wrong with that. -There was an eclair style cake that was pretty dry so I wouldn't recommend that either. -Coconut Cake: I don't even like coconut usually, but this was pretty fluffy and delicious. The coconut was shaved on top so it wasn't as offensive of a coconut flavor as usual. Overall, this definitely is not the best Chinese buffet in Omaha (it's not even in the conversation), but it's a passable option if you have no other way to get to one of the better options in town. read more

COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE SICK! Walked into the most horrible smell, ordered a drink , had food chunks in it , and old crusts on my silverware! Didn't even get any food. The service was horrible and they kept pointing and whispering. I was charged $44 for two drinks that were untouched and no food. Actually horrible customer service. Not to mention the attitude I got when I didn't tip for my two drinks and two meals (Didn't even get food) . Just go to Panda Express you'll get better food there read more

I have only been here once, it had a lot of variety, and they had sushi. I liked the ambience.

Very good and fresh food and good service . The crab legs had NO MEAT literally just a flavored shell . Otherwise it was good !

I don't go to buffets often but we really enjoyed this place. My husband even said "I think that may be my favorite Chinese buffet I've ever been to" and that's saying a lot coming from him. The food was steaming hot, with tons of options. I loved the noodles and the crab rangoons and chicken on a stick. My husband ate so much seafood and sushi. Honestly 99% of what we grabbed on our plates was delicious. It was very crowded on a Sunday evening but the place is large and didn't feel crowded. Reasonably priced for the amount of food you can choose from. Definitely commented if you want to put some food down in quantities! read more

The server was nice. The food was fairly disgusting. First it did not look appealing. Crab Rangoon wasn't terrible, but was not good. General Tso was not very good also. Food selection wasn't great. They had a lot of seafood type items, that from the looks of it, I didn't try it. Smell suffocated most of the restaurant. The things they bought, such as cake, jello, oranges, etc. were good. They have ice cream you dip yourself and a sign that says if under 8, adult must dip. Several children were dipping it and their actions made it un-inviting. The restrooms were dirty. I was there on a short visit to Omaha and am happy I will never have to go there again. read more

First time eating at any China Buffett in probably 10 years and I was quickly reminded why it's been 10 years. We were seated quickly, and the food in the middle of the restaurant was all visibly steaming hot but the taste of most everything was below mediocre in my opinion. My fav part was the coconut sweets in the dessert section. Second favorite was probably the pepper chicken and that was a 3/5. The rest.... Just wasn't great to me and I tried many dishes just hoping to get something at least decent. The warm tea also had extremely no tea flavor at all. Basically warm water. No more Chinese buffets for me. Took no pics while there to as nothing seemed worth photographing. read more

Extremely high selection... they even had cheeseburgers! Steamed whole fish, Lechon, Hibachi grill, baked chicken, wings,& stewed beef were my favorite things. Holiday prices of 2 about $40. Exceeded my expectations ! I'm coming back.My only knock but I can live with it is you eat off of styrofoam plates, paper cups, plastic utensils. The is tasty plentiful BANG for your buck !!! Verdad? It is true read more

The Grand China Buffet is one of the better buffets I have been to. The waitress we had was very friendly attentive clearing our empty dishes and filled our water glasses. They have Mongolian grill but typically I selected from their buffet entrees. The food is fresh, always filled and hot. Overall I thought this is one of the better Chinese buffets I have been to in Omaha. My only knock is the decor (tables and chairs) are very basic. Overall this was a great visit and will plan to visit them again in the future. I would recommend this buffet to others. read more

Awful! What is the gravy on the mushrooms and clams? I was going to say all we enjoyed was the iced tea...but the glass of iced tea that was brought to my husband appeared to have a tape worm in it. We will not be coming back. The pot stickers were okay read more

Good food would recommend eating her again. Excellent service. Easy to find. Handicap accessible read more

Great value for the crew. Four of us went and ate more than we should have. There were a variety of tastes and food requirements, and we all left satisfied. Traditional Chinese dishes, "kids menu" type offerings, some sushi rolls, and a Mongolian grill will make sure you can find something you'll like. And, don't forget the ice cream. It's great! read more

I found roaches when I went to change my daughters diaper!!! There were flys on the food and when I left I didn't realize they had charged me $24 more. That was minor, I threw up in the parking lot because I couldn't shake the thought that I had just ate there! read more

I like going for lunch here, and they have a Senior discount. The variety is good and the quality is consistently good. The place seems clean. While not a big issue - and I just ignore it, the staff mostly act like they dislike ya. No smiles, no thanks at checkout and paying, zero communication attempts for any reason..... like they don't want ya there. I'm a one full plate customer and they are not losing money on me. I'm not one of the 375 pounders consuming 4 plates and ruining the profit margin. I know it can wear on staff with hundreds of people in and out day after day and they get desensitized, and not all the customers are sweethearts either, but one would think you could at least get a smile when dealing with a very polite and appreciative customer. Maybe a thanks when we pay rather than dumping change in your hand and walking away with a frown. If I owned this business, I would remind staff to cheer up just a wee bit as people do notice. I can recall staff being pleasant and happy I was there after they opened, but it appears that kind of faded there. It's a well known business priciple that while smiles and a kind word cost staff nothing, the customer does feel more attraction to returning there to that business. Now, I still enjoy eating there, and just have no expectations of the staff acting like they are glad I'm spending my money there. Life goes on. For the money, it's a darn good meal with a ton of variety. Frumpy staff aside, I enjoy eating here and lunch is a good value and escape from all the burgers that taste the same. read more

Great price and food quality. The place could be a better clean but besides that it is a great place to eat

We went into a buffet experience not expecting much but the reviews looked good so we thought...eh...how bad can it be? The answer my friends, is bad, very, very BAD. The food was bizarre, out of the 40 options there were only 5 or 6 Chinese dishes and they were falsely labeled. The broccoli and beef had no beef in it. The won ton soup was water with fish balls (see picture). The steamed buns were a tasteless ball of mush that we might have been forced to spit out into napkins. And the tea was definitely mislabeled because at no point had tea leaves ever touched the pot of hot water we received. There are no labels on the majority of dishes but it appeared the rest was pizza, french fries and fried stuff that was unidentifiable - just chunks of fried stuff. The bacon wrapped shrimp initially seemed exciting until we realized the bacon was raw. It seems a lot of people like the shrimp and crayfish. So if you want to pay for just those dishes perhaps it's a good deal. We considered getting the Mongolian grill because it seemed like the only way to get fresh food. But even though the place was open until 9:30 pm, the grill area was closed by 7:15 pm. Staff were mopping the whole area down. Alternatively, there could have been a water leakage that they were frantically trying to contain. By 7:30 pm the staff had stopped updating the buffet and were cleaning the whole restaurant around the poor patrons trying to eat. The Health Department rates the Grand China Buffet at 1126 Chicago Circle as FAIR reviewed on 5/16/18 and the risk was HIGH. It's like playing Russian Roulette with all the chambers full - you have been warned. read more

Grand China Buffet - This was the Won Ton Soup. - Buffets Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I'll admit right off the bat that I'm not a huge fan of buffets in general. So often your eyes are bigger than your stomach and the best items are picked over fast and furiously. Still, I have a few friends that love the bang you get for a few bucks. So every so often I agree to head to some Chinese buffet in Omaha for a few platefuls of chicken skews and whatever else fits my fancy. The chicken skews at Grand China Buffet are some of the best I've had. There's also a sushi buffet that is probably more looks than taste, but I enjoyed a few bites to start my meal. Don't forget the Mongolian grill. And octopus. And fried tilapia that for some reason no one was touching. And all the desserts. This is a big ass buffet and lunch was under $10. Hard to beat if you're into Chinese buffets. read more

The food was bad, I mean real bad. The waitress was rude and complained about tip (it's a buffet u basically serve yourself) I was told it was better than Panda Express and that was a lie. Do not go here and thank me later. read more

This place is going downhill fast. Only 2/3 the offerings at full price. Trying to cater to the very young, pizza and french fries, and the very old, mystery "fish" casserole and beat up tilapia. 2/3 of the sushi and only 1/10 of the sweets. The place was hopping and fully staffed..too bad. read more

Very dirty compared to other times we been there and the food has gone down also. Nothing seems to ever change on the buffet.

For an Asian buffet, this one does pretty well on the score sheet in both quality and price. Service can be pretty patchy during their dinner rushes, but its a huge establishment and I understand it can get hard to keep up. One time our table was overflowing with dishes and they were really apologetic when they finally got around to clearing it. I know many Asian families that will come all the way from Lincoln for the all you can eat crab legs and crawfish. Adults eat dinner for around $15 which is a steal if you're eating the crab (typically $10/lb+) ...Speaking of that, the crab and crawfish can be a hit or miss. Sometimes the meat can be overcooked and take on that powdery texture, but hey- I also gotta say they are quick with the turnover for bringing out new crab and crawfish as soon as it runs out. Thats when its a full house in there also!! I would say more times than not the qaulity of the shellfish has been good. They also have a large selection of sushi (for a buffet anyway) and other american chinese foods. I noticed they even had frog legs on my last visit which is pretty impressive. They have finger food for kids like chicken nuggets and fries, if your kiddos arent into the Asian stuff. There is real self serve ice cream and a Mongolian grill which I have never actually done. For Omaha, good Americanized Chinese food for your buck. read more

I've had to write this review 3 times now since they keep deleting my review. The food was absolutely horrible. I could even take a second bite. The waitresses were so rude and mocked us for not tipping enough at a BUFFET. You serve yourself at a buffet!! There were flies everywhere. Please save yourself, and don't eat here. read more

Run of the mill, standard Chinese-American buffet that is run with extreme efficiency. The place is bug enough to cater a large amount of customers. The food is always kept warm and it overall has a decent taste. Staff is nice, which is surprising for these kind of places. I'm now gonna list what we tried. 1. Kung Pao: good 2. Orange chicken: too buttery, lacks flavor 3. Steamed fish: not surprisingly low quality and would not recommend. 4. Beef and broccoli: very good 5. Steamed veggies: standard, makes you feel healthy I guess. 6. Buttered mushrooms: good, though super oily. 7. Jalapenho pork: good 8. Some sort of beef/brisket?: was not gonna ask but it was decent. 9. Crab rangoon: very well made. 10. Spring rolls: bland, not sure if safe lol. 11. Sushis: ok it's a buffet, don't expect high quality 12. Wonton: good 13. Custard buns: good It also sorely lacks fruits and more desserts but I think its a good place to eat your fill and have some flavor. Not the best, but would still recommend. read more

Awful service. Awful food. Girl got mad that we didn't tip her for not even refilling our drinks or giving us straws and didn't even clear our table Till last minute. I don't expect royalty but I'm baffled by her wanting a tip after all that. Personally I felt too pretty to be in that restaurant. Terrible. read more

got food poisoning from here. place was gross unclean food everywhere and food was old Wouldn't eat here unless you want to be sick. read more

Do not eat here. If I could give zero stars I would. I took my girls and we all took about one bite and spit it out. First of all it's more seafood than anything else. Followed by random American food, onion rings, roast beef, pizza: none of which is good. The potsticker has such tough filling I couldn't even bite into it. The lo mein was disgusting accordingly my daughters. The sweet and sour chicken was way too sweet. The egg roll was edible but seemed like a frozen egg roll. There was a Mongolian station but no one there to cook (on a Friday night). Do NOT eat here, waste of money. read more

TERRIBLE! I used to go here for lunch with coworkers and it was OK. After a few years, I finally talked my family into trying it. Worst dining experience ever! The buffet was a mess with food all over the place as well as on the floor. The waitresses were standing in the prep area eating food with their fingers and then serving drinks without washing their hands. Kids were running all through the buffet running into people. The ice cream should have been called flavored milk it was so soft and melted. Long story short, we will never go back! read more

Came here this evening (not by choice) and was pleasantly surprised! For the cost the food wasn't half-bad, not at all terrible. I went right to the Mongolia grill and made a shrimp noodle concoction that turned out quite tasty! We all had some of the pepper chicken which we loved! Also tried the chicken nuggets by accident and couldn't believe how similar they tasted to McDonalds... I love the Chinese donuts that are covered in sugar but only love them when they come out fresh (they didn't replenish it at all while we were there, disappointing). Overall clean, not too many chicken options, but people were going crazy over the crawfish. The best part of the meal was the ice cream station at the end. They had actual blue bunny options (cookies and cream, mint, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and sorbet) which definitely helps settle your stomach when eating greasy food/too much food. I would recommend this over any of the other Chinese buffet options in Omaha. read more

Good assortment of seafood. Tasty and fresh when we came. The sushi was ok, good combinations but it would be even better if just like the Mongolian grill, you could ask to make a roll on the spot! Lots of dessert, self served ice cream of many flavors. I liked that the tables are not extremely crowed. The servers were nice and attentive. Will definitely come back when I crave Chinese! The price is not bad at all! read more
