    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.

    We went to Greater China Buffet yesterday for lunch. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were plenty of diners but they weren't too crowded; so they were able to seat our 6-person party immediately. The servers are always so nice and polite and the proprietors always warmly greet us whenever we dined there. The Sunday we visited, the buffet offer med a huge variety of seafood: oysters, mussels, baby octopus, shrimp and salmon; as well as typical Chinese dishes like fried rice, chow mien, general Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, potstickers and shumai plus a variety of soups, salad, sushi, Mongolian BBQ and desserts. Overall, our entire party had an enjoyable dining experience at Greater China Buffet, we ate good food, the service was attentive and the price was still pretty reasonable.

    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.

    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.

    I arranged to meet my crew out here for lunch on Sunday, before we head out to our work location out at that Gigafactory area east on the 80. I heard good thing about this buffet so here we all go. Our party of 4 got seated no prob, lots of seating. Looking around the dining area, I see there's even a stage for karaoke! Think we'll be passing on that this time. It does look like quite an extensive buffet with a grill area as well as a sushi area. Service is normal Asian Buffet, efficient, but not the most friendly. The food is very good and hot. We did get here right after opening at 11am, so the food is gonna be he freshest then. The selection included roast duck even, that's dinner and Sunday's only I think. Spare ribs and all the normal Chinese stuff is here, like general chicken, chow mien and egg roll, but the was more authentic stuff too, that I didn't recognize. I gotta say, all the food was very good and the sushi was better than most buffet sushi I've had. I may even stop here on our way back when we finish our work out in that Gigafactory place. We did stop in again, super happy!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    The service wasn't great. Like most Chinese buffets, they bring your drinks when you first sit down, but after that the servers rarely come back to check on you. Food quality was disappointing overall. A lot of the dishes tasted old and had very little flavor or texture. Most of the food was bland and seemed like it needed proper seasoning. The sushi was especially bad. The rice was very dry and hard, almost like it had been sitting out for days. The fish didn't taste fresh and seemed like it may have been previously frozen. Most of the buffet items were only lukewarm. It felt like the food had been sitting out for a long time, and the warmers weren't really keeping things hot they were just drying the food out. Overall, this wasn't a good experience. The food quality and freshness were questionable, and I didn't feel well after eating here. I wouldn't come back.

    Hadn't been there in years, so we thought we'd go there since it was kind of on our way home. Place was pretty empty when we got there being that it was kind of an odd time after lunch or having a late lunch. Waitress would come by and pick up plates quickly and asked if we needed anything refilled for drink wise. There was lots of varieties of food. The place was very open with lots of dining area. Was a bit weird having 80s music on one wall on TV videos and on another TV there was some type of movie going like mad Max.

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

    SIU Korean barbecue is solid Korean barbecue restaurant. I've come here many times over the years…read moreand appreciate the authenticity of the menu and experience. The menu is full of cups of meat and not found at the other KBBQ restaurant and generally speaking quality is there on all of it. We enjoyed the birthday celebration here the other night, and discovered a few new favorites, including the pork GALBI, which is delicious, sweet, tender cuts of lean pork marinated in the sweet sowing which grows up wonderfully and delivers a nice char. I also am a huge fan of the Sydney slice of beef tongue that cooks chicken. Did that in a little bit of sesame oil salt or add a bit of the seasoning spice from your condiment tray and throw that in lettuce or radish wrap, and you are set. They also offer a couple of specialty cuts at dinner only like the thousand stripe and premium GALBI, which is a crosscut beef short rib. I personally think their short rib is the best in town as it comes out nicely marinated and extremely tender with just the right amount of fat versus some of the others that I've tried which have a substantial amount of fat versus meat. There was also a specialty cut of fatty pork that I cannot remember the Korean Nemo, but that took a long time to cook, even though it was in sliced, but then result was this delightfully crispy piece of meat that could be eaten on its own or added to another wrap that you were creating and was quite enjoyable. The reason for decreasing into four stars is just service. That's where the other KBBQ has this place beat. Part of a we were seated at two tables right next to each other and for some reason, it seemed one table received more attention than the other and after a point it seemed that the server just stopped coming back altogether, and they also forgot items multiple times throughout the meal left water glasses on filled and didn't clear place on the act. Normally not a big deal but you're consuming so much as a larger party and you're dealing with brought meat. You are putting your diners at risk for not helping to make sure that we maintain a clean and sanitary dining experience. Even to the end of the meal, the server did not come back to see if we wanted to order more food or bring us a check and I had to get up and go to the front to ask for it. Lastly, I was shocked that they did not have any hot sake in the restaurant to order nor did they offer any type of dessert either included or for purchase. We came to celebrate a birthday and can't be the only people that stop here for special occasions, so I would assume that there are people that want that when they're dying here and it was just surprising to hear that. Again, this is a great Korean barbecue spot and then I will certainly return to you and hope that the service experience improved so that the dining experience overall is that much better.

Yelp Elites Michael T and Kathy B are right about the meat sweats!! It's been a few weeks since we went so I can't recall all of the meats we tried, but the spicy pork belly is one I remember as it was delightful. The kimchi stew is INCREDIBLE, and I enjoyed the banchan a lot. Depending on where you sit, either a server or robot cart with a cute face will deliver your food and drink. I'm generally anti-robot, but these are adorable! The ambiance is nice, but prepare to get pretty smoky. They do a great job of swapping grills often to prevent some of this, but smoke happens. Definitely will be back in the future!
