Restaurant interior

We went to Greater China Buffet for lunch. We arrived at the restaurant and it was fairly busy but not so busy that our 4-person party weren't immediately seated. On Sundays, the restaurant offers a variety of seafood dishes: baked salmon, sautéed baby octopus, fried shrimp oysters, and sushi. There were plenty of non-seafood dishes as well like fried chicken wings, barbecue pork ribs, General Tso's chicken, beef with mushrooms and roasted duck. There were plenty of desserts too: cakes, ice cream, cookies, puddings, fresh fruits and flambéd bananas. There were plenty of different dishes to choose from; something for everyone's taste. The service was attentive and friendly; they cleared our dirty dishes and replenished our drinks.

This place took over Asuka. For a Chinese buffet, it actually wasn't that bad. Definitely some pros and cons. The Mongolian BBQ: I would definitely just come back for this. Fresh ingredients, cooked made to order, and tasted way better than other Mongolian BBQ in buffets that I have been too. It was actually flavorful. Also, the cook is very nice! So I definitely would go for the dishes that come out hot & fresh first. I had the BBQ pork & the mushroom chicken that came out fresh and both were delicious. The green beans and eggplant were also very good. The chicken wings and breaded shrimp I knew were sitting out for a bit because it was a tough bite and the shrimp was just whatever. The sesame balls also tasted like it was out long because it had a hard texture instead of soft and chewy. I also had the imitation crab and it was super oily. The seafood soup was bland and the hot and sour soup was pretty spicy and I wasn't expecting the heat. The sushi I wasn't a big fan of it. Of course, can never forget the garlic bread! Dessert wise, the orange and pink cakes were good. The cake was actually soft. Prices: Adult: $17.99 ( Lunch ) / $21.99 (Dinner) Kid (7yrs) : $8.99 (Lunch) / $11.99 (Dinner) Kid (5 yrs) : $6.99 (lunch) / not sure for dinner Drink: $2.50 each.

My family and I came to check out the buffet since I got a two for one deal coupon in the mail. After coming here 3 times, I noticed that there were more options and freshly cooked food during lunch and right before dinner. Once you enter, they seat you and take your drink orders. You can then grab plates for food. There are a variety of like oysters, crab legs, crawfish, clams, chicken wings, vegetables, orange chicken, soups, sushi, desserts, and fruit. When you finish your plates, the staff comes around to clear those plates. The food is good and I like the variety, however, it is always the same items each time you come here. It would be nice if they added new items every so often. For the lunch prices of $17.99 and dinner at $21.99, it is a very good all you can eat deal. The sign at the front says they have hotpot, but I have not tried that. The environment gets loud when there is a lot of people. They play Chinese music in the background which can get very loud. The owner is very nice and runs the register when you are ready to pay. This is a nice cheap meal if you use the coupons and I will continue to come back.

Reno and Sparks don't have many Asian buffet options, and this is easily one of the better choices in the area. We went for weekend dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the selection. They had oysters, mussels, fried fish, and many other selections. The Mongolian BBQ station was also pretty solid. The beef and pork they use is hot pot quality. Overall, for an Asian buffet, I was content with the selections and would definitely recommend giving it a try. The only downside was table service and restroom cleanliness. We had to ask a few times for drink refills, which took away slightly from the experience. Restroom was a little rough too. Still, the food makes it worth visiting.

This is a very acceptable Chinese Buffet. I felt the midweek LUNCH price of $19.99 (drinks extra) is a bit pricey, so I removed a star. At slightly less it would be 5 star. However they do provide more seafood and meat dishes than most midweek lunch buffets. Lots of shrimp and bbq ribs plus bbq pork and several fish and other meats. In addition they have a BBQ grill they prepare fresh for you when you fill your plate with raw veggies and meats. So there is plenty here to satisfy most everyone. Check other pics for close up pictures. I took distance pics to give a feel for the size. The service was great

No no flavor very dry. Nobody really speaks English. Just really not clean. I'm surprised the health department is not here.

No one wears gloves the food literally dry and old that's not even hot. I'll stop eating it because I don't wanna get food poisoning or get sick. The only thing that's good here is customer service and the iced tea doesn't even taste like it taste like just regular water and then you have people that don't understand you so you have to get somebody else. The price that we're paying for food. It's not really good. Nobody wears gloves unsanitized just nasty. I don't even know how they got business health department needs to come out here for somebody get sick.

I really wanted to love this. I was on the fence with the 3 star rating, but after weighing out the food quality I had to go with my gut. The service was great. Everyone was really nice and you could see they were trying to tend to the buffet food items by stiring and replenishing when necessary. The food had steam coming from each tray, but unfortunately the food was more warm and sometimes a little cold. They had a variety of seafood options and meat dishes, but were a bit greasy. Some had oil sitting on the bottom of the tray, so when scooping the food you would also scoop a bit of the liquid on the bottom. I also love chow mein and this one was unfortunately not it. It really lacked flavor. They also offered a Mongolian grill, which was nice. There wasn't a lot of direction, but after asking how it worked we were able to try it. The restaurant was really large, clean and had a lot of seating. It also offered hot pot, but we didn't know until after being seated for the buffet. Lunch was $16.99. I am not sure I would return, but hope this was just an off day for the restaurant.

My family and I did not eat inside, we ordered online and took it to home. The staff when we got our food were kind and accommodating. The place was nice and tidy. Unfortunately the food wasn't up to par. My family and I got some different items. The Kung Pao chicken, which should've been spicy was not spicy at all. Even with added chili sauce and sriracha. The beef and veggies meal was lacking beef. Overall the food was lacking seasoning to our tastebuds. We did however appreciate the amount of food and customer service.

Andrea D.

First of all, the service was immaculate! The servers were kind enough to give us extra sauce and answer our questions. We ordered the dinner plates and they were packed full of food. However the flavor just wasn't it. The rice was flavorless and my kungpao chicken didn't have any spice to it. However, I did enjoy the customer service.

Orange chicken, fried shrimp, baked seafood

Good selections and good food. I didn't like the chow mein but the orange chicken was so good. The fried shrimp is probably a close second. All seafood I had was tasty. Bathrooms weren't very clean, but I'd come back.

The word "soup" does not appear in searches of reviews or photos at this writing. Does this buffet offer any soups and, if so, what are the choices?

They have hot and sour soup and egg drop soup, the standards.

We hadn't been here for several years, but since we were in the area, we decided to give them…read moreanother try. One thing we noticed right away was that the bonchon was already set on the tables before guests arrived. It wasn't a large spread--just a small tin of cheese corn and a divided tray with kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake--not sure how long they were left out and did look and taste dry. The servers seemed to work well together. Different team members checked on us, cleared dishes, served food, and helped other's tables. Once it got busier, they also used robot servers to help deliver food. We started with the salad with house dressing and the popcorn chicken. Both were good, and the chicken was nice and moist. For the BBQ, we ordered the Chardol, Ju Mul Luck, Hawaiian Steak, Tri-Tip Bulgogi, and Galbi (short ribs). Having eaten at quite a few Korean BBQ restaurants in Las Vegas, we noticed the portions here were a bit smaller. They also limit each round to three appetizers and four meat selections. Overall, the service was good, and we especially appreciated Eurie for being friendly and attentive. The only thing that concerned us was when another server changed our grill. Instead of lightly drizzling oil onto the grill, she forcefully squeezed the bottle, causing the oil to shoot out onto grill. It seemed like an unnecessary safety risk for both guests and employees. Our favorites were definitely the Tri-Tip Bulgogi and the Galbi. Both were flavorful and tender. The Chardol was good, but the slices were very thin and the portion felt a little small. The restaurant filled up quickly between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., so it's clearly a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back for the Tri-Tip Bulgogi, Galbi, and the teamwork displayed by the staff.

One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that it's one of the few Korean BBQ spots that…read morewelcomes solo diners without requiring a party of two. As someone who occasionally likes to eat alone, I really appreciate that. I've visited several times over the years, including recently under the newer ownership. Unfortunately, some of my old favorites aren't quite the same. I used to love their deep-fried oysters, which are no longer on the menu and have been replaced with deep-fried mussels. The kimchi stew recipe also seems to have changed and wasn't as memorable as before. That said, they still serve my favorite gopchang (beef small intestine). When cooked properly, it gets wonderfully crispy and reminds me of Mexican tripas tacos--definitely worth ordering. I'd personally skip the bibimbap appetizer. The rice was hard, the ground beef was cold, and it felt like it relied too heavily on the gochujang sauce for flavor. Even with those changes, I'll continue supporting this business. Service was also attentive.

We ordered All the meats . Spicy pork , Bulgogi , Hawaiian steak, Maple seasoned pork, Kobe beef , pot stickers , short ribs , spring rolls . Everything we had was great . Sides were good too. Had Rice and Rice paper too. Service was excellent they were on top of changing our grill when needed . Price is a little higher than a spot I usually go to, $42.95@ person for dinner .

Lacked ice and they dont have hot mustard other korea bbq places serve this kind of dish. Thought it would be another go to place for my korean cold noodle place but failed to make it. The dish also has slices of apple vs what is normally sold with shredded meat. Previous reviews still hold that the prices are really high for cheap meats. The ayce setup still gives you a lot on each dish and you risk over ordering and get the dreaded wasted food surcharge. Until they set their prices to a steal I would visit this place cautiously or it will drain your weekly dining budget quickly. Staff still is friendly like always and the place is always good to bring a big group but I wish they would make it "local" friendly on the pocket. If they perhaps gave smaller dishes each time you order beef you could order more variety but it limits you because one plate of beef is good to feed some people a full meal. That then defeats the purpose of ayce. A la carte items is also priced so high you cant get more than one dish for each person to get variety. To sum it up, they've rigged it to have each person spend at least 40 to 50 dollars to have a reasonably enjoyable experience here trying their many good items.

We decided to order the combination family meal so everyone could try a variety of dishes. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. Even though it had been a while since our last visit, the staff remembered us, which made us feel so welcome. I love the ambiance here. It's quaint, clean, and comfortable, with soft lighting, relaxing background music, and cozy booths that make it a perfect place to enjoy a meal and catch up with friends. We started with soup. I had the hot and sour soup, which is always my favorite, and our friends tried the flower soup, similar to egg drop soup, for the first time. They really enjoyed it! For appetizers, we shared the prawn, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon, and everything was delicious. For our main course, we enjoyed the Szechuan chicken, Hunan chicken, sesame chicken, and the vegetable plate. Every dish arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was outstanding. Our server checked on us often, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We always have a wonderful experience at Chin Chin, and this visit was no exception. Great food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back. We highly recommend it!

No big deal, just something to mention. We started with the kimchi fries- great flavor but the fries were hard to grab without using utensils.

I wish the water offered had ice or was cold. Also wish utensils and napkins were more available.

We stopped by on a Sunday, which is their Dim Sum day. What I really like about this place is that they only prep a limited number of items and when they're done, that's it! So if you want to enjoy their food, you need to get here early! We came at 11:20am (they opened at 11:00am) and it was packed already. By 12:30pm they were out of a few items already. We got the chicken dumplings, crab rangoons, and Khao Sai with chicken. Wow, just incredible all around. The items were served quickly and piping hot. We sat at the bar so we could peek around the corner into the kitchen and watch them prep and slang these items with such speed and precision. I haven't found many places that serve Khao Soi so I knew I needed to get it. The broth was so rich with a spicy complex flavor and a generous portion of noodles. I got the steamed chicken while my friend got the fried chicken - honestly, we probably could've split it, especially since we got the other dim sum items. The owner is amazing, so friendly and really wants everyone to feel welcome. He knew so many people and it makes me want to be a regular here (too bad I don't live in Reno!) The owner is expanding his offerings and occasionally does a drag brunch, which seems really fun! Do yourself a favor and stop by here early and enjoy the amazing food!
