Alright first the staff was very rude second food from buffet was cold and only way you could get anything that was hot was to go to the grill first time and last time visiting this place read more

Mediocre Chinese food like most Chinese buffet restaurants. The surprise is its bread, which is a good try for dessert.

Never go to this place. We decided to go on a Wednesday night after we went to the gym (planet fitness is right next door). It was a terrible experience. We went to the sushi bar and all of the rice on the sushi was stale and crunchy because it had been left out so long. The food on the hot plates clearly had not been stirred and was room temperature if not colder. We showed up around 9pm and it closes at 10pm. At 9:30pm, the manager started asking if we wanted any more and, if we wanted more, we should get it now because they were closing down the buffet. They started taking everything down very loudly. There were middle school aged children who had been working in the back (clearly violating child labor laws) and started running through the restaurant yelling. We have never felt so pressured to leave a restaurant. And again, it closed at 10pm. This was all happening at 9:30. I understand it was a weekday and a bit later than a typical dinner hour, but don't say you are open until 10pm when all your food is cold and you close access to the food at 9:30. Terrible experience. If you want an Asian buffet in Laurel, go to Teppenyaki grill. It is very popular and deserves to be considering that this place is the "competition." Teppenyaki also has a much better selection. read more

Food was just okay, though a little greasy. Did not have fresh condiments (hot Chinese mustard, duck sauce, etc.), only plastic packaged ones. Decor was very dark and depressing. This did not enhance an overall experience of dining there. Music was totally inappropriate and way too loud to allow one to enjoy the food and conversing with a dinner partner. Several dishes of meat, shellfish, and vegetables were overloaded with oil (peanut oil perhaps) and shined like they were just varnished with shellac. Soups were stale and cold. Some serving urns were near empty at 7:30 PM on a Friday night and were never refilled. Even after asking for some fresh hot and sour soup. (Bad show!) However, the steamed flounder was very good. Salmon, tilapia, steamed clams and baked chicken were okay. Different green vegetables, though a touch on the oily side, were okay. Rices and noodle dishes were okay. Egg rolls were devoid of a filling... mostly greasy crust. Pork ribs were barely okay since they were very fatty. Ice cream selection was poor. Cheap pre-wrapped novelty items were offered instead of having fresh dip or a soft ice cream (not ice milk) machine. Cakes were standard boxed bakery items and there weren't any traditional almond cookies. Napkin dispensers were overstuffed and difficult to use. (I had to open the lid in order to retrieve napkins.) Table service was fair. I asked for a booth (there were plenty available) but was instead directed to a window table. This offer was refused and the manager reluctantly surrendered a booth. (Keep in mind, it was 18 degrees outside and it was not the time to huddle in a window seat.) It is doubtful that I would eat there again or recommend dining there to any one. Also, I never cared much for paying for a meal before being seated. (This is not a movie theatre! ) With the discount coupon gimmick and tip, the evening fare was just under $30 for two. read more

Been here a couple of time and each time is horrible, some food are dry the salmon doesn't taste like salmon and it's dry also. Not coming here anymore, food are horrible. read more

We love the variety of the food options, and like that they seem to always be bringing out fresh food too. Some things are better tasting then other though but I guess that's typically with buffets. Like all buffets noise and service is what it is. They get a lot of buses but tend to manage well the service and food which is a plus. read more

Just came from there. Average or less. The Korean ribs were cooked so hard that my wife could not eat them. A wide assortment of seafood items, but no shell picks , etc. so not much of the crab could be eaten. The ham was very fatty throughout the slab. There is enough to fill yourself, but on this Sunday no oysters of any kind. The desserts were nice, but butchered by us users (could use a tidy up). (Same for the bathrooms.) The ice came in many flavors, but how does one fill up the cup? The can is deep in a freezer and you have a long stick with a narrow claw that is supposed to pick up the scrappings of this frozen iceberg. The ice cream falls away from the claw. (Most people scrapped and hand picked up the dropping.) Overall, you could have a filling meal in a decently clean buffet. read more

C J GROSS,NASTY, NEVER EVER GO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! On Wed. Aug. 27, 2014, went there around 3:30pm. The food looked so appealing and I thought I would enjoy. Most of the food was tasteless and I said maybe I'll try the sushi because I never had tasted it before. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! After I got 2 pieces sat down and took one bite, I noticed the guy behind the sushi station had a napkin in hand trying to caught a ROACH on one of the hanging lights over the sushi station. At that point I picked up my purse to leave and before I could get up I noticed another ROACH crawling down the wall in back of the booth where I was seated. To make matters worst later that night around 10PM I had slight abdominal craps and nausea and all the next day. AGAIN, I MUST REPEAT -- GROSS AND NASTY AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL BE CALLED.. read more

So many reasons: 1. Can't use multiple coupons so if you are a group beware; new kid at counter 2. You get your own soda at a table that has pitchers, used to be served by waitress which dwindled 3. No knife or spoon, can't cut my meat 4. Don't refill food fast enough .... have gone down the drain from just 2 months. read more

This place should have a 5 star rating, it's the best place in Maryland. They have so much variety, I can't complain. The price it's just right, 9 for lunch! SAY WHAT!! A burger is costing you now 8$ insane! Best place around town! Very clean, very polite. BEST BUFFET IN MARYLAND. Really recommend this place! You get a little bit of everything for one price!! AMAZING!!! read more

Most American buffets are a study in mediocrity. They're the triumph of quantity over quality. You go there to eat yourself stupid or because nobody in your group can agree on Italian or Chinese or Mexican so why not go to the place where you can get all three made relatively poorly? Sure, the stuff's oversalted or doesn't taste like much of anything, but IT'S SO CHEAP! That said, this place was actually pretty decent, as far as piling on the food goes. The interior is pretty clean. Also cavernous. You could easily fit an entire elementary school in this place. You approach the counter, pay your tab (Seniors can get lunch here for like $8), then hit the steam tables. Like I said, the place is pretty roomy, so you've got plenty of space for when some waddling land monster starts dumping trays of fried shrimp onto his plate. You've got the usual Asian buffet spread: a sushi bar (suprisingly fresh stuff); a mongolian bbq flattop (pile on the meat/veggies, have the guy fry it up, leave a buck tip); generic Chinese eggrolls/General Tso's/lo mein; along with assorted American items (ham, beef stew, mac & cheese) and even a salad bar for those weirdos who eat vegetables. You've got a spread of dessert cakes and pies (even banana pudding with Nilla Wafers on top) along with a bunch of scoopable icecreams and prepackaged stuff in cups and on a stick. The soups are hit or miss; the hot & sour was competent, but the "Maryland Crab Soup" tasted like corn-starchey eggdrop with vegetables and no crab. Suprisingly, the fried items weren't bad at all. The chicken wings were crispy, as were the springrolls and egg rolls. Whoever is manning the fryers knows to fry them hot and hard. The string beans were firm but tender; nothing like the canned soggy slop you find at most buffets. Staff was attentive and there's always someone wandering around to refill your icewater. About the worst you could say is that the background music is Mexican rap, which doesn't do much for my digestion, but maybe you like rocking out to Mexican rap while eating eggrolls. It's probably the kitchen staff's mix tape anyway. So if you're stuck in Laurel and simply have to eat at a buffet, you could do a lot worse than Grande Buffet & Grill. Don't believe me? There's an Old Country Buffet in the same mall. read more

Nope.... unsanitary place, waiter dig up her nose will getting my drink. And food had no taste, also food was old. Well at least the food I tried. Will I come back........nnnnnnnnnnnnnnope read more

First visit and last... They got roaches!. Didn't have to fuss, they returned my money and my wife and I got the heck outta there.... Lesson learned: trust your inner sense... If the place is crowded, has good reviews but kinda dark and dank, they might be hiding something. read more

The food is okay. However, the service here is awful. Don't come here if you are looking for a comfortable dinner. The waitress first forced us to sit at a certain location without any explanation. Then she kept coming over and made us clean the table (which is obviously her job) just because we temporarily use some paper towel to hole the seafood shells. Ironically, just after she made us to clean the table, she went to another even messier table and asked kindly if her service was good. Final comment, don't come here if you look anywhere like an Asian. read more

even thou i had to wait 25-30 mins for the crabs the were good. the ribs fish n sushi was on point. my only disapointment was the girl who was waiting on us was awful.... n time someone else comes n clear our table thatz bad.... but i would go back as long as i dont get her again!!!! read more

Best buffet Ive seen in the area!!! There food is always hot, and fressh and they have the widest selection I've seen, and very reasonably priced. I have tried Tappanyaki in Laural, Md but there buffet is over priced, and the food is not fresh and dried out, and I have tried Tysons Corner Buffet in Rockville, Md they are very much over priced, and not a very good selection. If you visit Grande buffet I know you will be very happy, and satisfied it's an amazing place with reasonable prices, great fresh food, and a wide selection, and friendly staff that is always there to fill your cup and take away the plates when you are finished. I cannot find enough great things to say about this buffet. read more

There is a lot of variety at this buffet. The sesame balls, rice, and chicken are really great. The salad bar is decent, as well. The sushi isn't the best, but it's not terrible. They also offer a lot of different ice creams and dessert items. It's a really big place and wasn't very crowded or loud when I was there, so that was nice. read more

This is the kind of place that's only still in business because you can binge on seafood for cheap. The selection is great for the price but the food is mediocre at best. The staff is extremely rude. Watch out of the ones reloading the buffet and bussing tables. They'll run right into you and not even flinch or apologize. The hibachi grill took forever and was not worth it. Negative experience all around. Decent food selection is all that earned them that second star. Avoid this place. read more

This buffet has everything, a salad bar, soup bar, dessert bar, seafood, steak, hibachi, sushi. The services is also great, very friendly environment, really helpful. I've many celebration in this buffet, they have so space to accommodate big parties. They also have senior and military discount!! read more

this restaurant has pretty good service, waiters come to your table every 20 mins or so. the food is 7/10. mostly well. they have a variety of sushi here! they're delicious. the sugary food here is okay i guess. not much flavor, especially with the flan. but the rest of the food is AMAZINGGGG. i recommend you come here. read more

You can definitely see yourself eating about 3 plates at this place! I've been to this place several times, once with a few friends and other times for take out. For starters this place is a buffet so there are so many different types of food choices from seafood, Chinese food, to even a bit a soul food. When you're sat the waitress looks to see your receipt then serves you your beverage. It's now time to fill up your plate the food there is amazing! I suggest going around lunch or early dinner time because they always have good specials. While the food is amazing ... The staff are a different story. They don't specify a time on how long you can stay at your table.. my suggestion to you is if your not finished eating don't move on to dessert because they will give you the boot with the fortune cookies. It's a bit upsetting because your paying for an all you can eat buffet but you can't eat all you can eat because they try to kick you out. If you can handle waiter attitudes and great food I will definitely recommend this buffet! Great for large parties that aren't sure on what it is they want to eat! read more

I love this place, I come here all the time.It's the best buffet I ever been to, and I been too many different buffets around the dmv area. They have many different types of food and they are always trying to change or add more stuff to the menu. They are really clean, the service is really polite and kind. Ive never had a negative thing to say about Grande Buffet, the owners are really friendly, and they always cared about their customers. read more

The placewas so clean. Tey ad Peope their waiting to take your used plates away. I am taking my family there on Sunday. tod them you have to check this place ut.

We will not go there anymore!!!!! BAD EXPERIENCE! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! We were there around 3pm and paid lunch price. While we were eating, they started to put seafood such as crabs and claims on the buffet trays. We took the crabs and claims since they were placed. The server came and said that we were not suppose to take SEAFOOD since we paid lunch price! REALLY? How come they did not ask us earlier to pay at dinner price since they will change the dinner menus. How come they have never explained that the lunch price does not include Seafood. I did not mind to pay dinner price if they were about to change menu to dinner menu. However, no one explained when we paid at the Cashier. FOOD was not good at all. This was our first try to this new restaruant and we decided not to go there ANYMORE!! read more

I went there with my family and they absolutely loved it, including myself ! The service was great. Everyone was super friendly and nice. I also loved the decorations on the walls. The place was beautiful. In addition, the food is delicious. There was a large variety to choose from and I loved everything. Definitely coming back. read more
