Washington is a midway point for yearly travels for me, and this time I decided to stop at the…read moreGrand China buffet for an evening meal. It did not disappoint; good selection, with plenty of options, including vegetarian items. It's more or less what you'd expect from a Chinese buffet, and with a pretty large selection. Service is friendly, and I'm glad I picked this place.

We arrived here after much deliveration, looking for someplace rated well with sushi and…read moretraditional chinese, etc. It was on our way, perfect. We get there, and the pictures were accurate but it is empty of people, and the food is much more sparse than I would expect. Not only that but it appears (and subsequently tastes) quite subpar for everything I can recall. I don't recall an item that made me think how it was better than acceptable to fill me. There was a sushi space with at least three spaces for plates, and all of the plates had the same three items on them, one being vegetarian, one being "spicy," and I don't even remember the other. The sushi was all a poor show, and they weren't worth going back for another round. I have not skipped the second round many times. The sushi prep space and area did not appear as clean as it could, and there was no clear sushi chef there, no certifications in view...(not saying they don't have them, but poor selection, bad cuts, dirty/messy appearance, the gentleman sitting there like at a gas station checkout) Like I said, the traditional stuff was not great fare. I got a second plate but to try some other things. Was still unimpressed completely. My wife was even struck by the poorness in such a strong way that she brought up leaving a review. Her experience with the traditional foods and desserts was poor, she finished little, and was overall unhappy. We don't hesitate for reviewing both directions, I hate to have to leave a poor one - we had a bad experience and you have issues to work on. Tried some dessert. There was a mousse dessert that was tasty - prepackaged, nothing special. Otherwise, also, not worth it. Honestly the rest looked prepackaged as well. I do expect the prepackaged and bulk stuff from a buffet, that's just part of it. This was a poor show of even that. It requires very little effort... Anyway, I was not blown away, in fact I was disappointed in a significant way. We were really hoping for one last thing on our trip to be sushi at a buffet, with the other traditional foods as well, and this just messed it all up being such a poor experience and food provision. Maybe next time, but not here.

The staff were extremely nice but the food was mediocre. Some of the items offered were just bland or tasted off. The general tso chicken was watery and not spicy at all. Seemed more like an orange chicken. I've had better seasoned pork dumplings elsewhere. Providing the dumpling sauce on the buffet was a nice touch though. The egg roll was boring too. Not much seasoning.

What has happened to Carson's Tavern? We had dinner here previously and enjoyed the food. However,…read moretonight we ordered the beer battered white fish dinner with French fries and chili and a buffalo chicken sandwich with a cup of chili. The fish dinner was at least 50% of batter and much less fish. The batter was very dark and too hard to chew. Seemed burnt to me. The fries were also very dark but, most that I tried were not completely cooked, I.e. raw potato. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was for sure a frozen patty instead of a "real" or fresh piece of chicken. This trip to Carson's was a great disappointment for dinner. So again, I have to ask, what has happened to Carson's? To me this is a sign that owners/management have taken a road to cheapness of product.

They have a menu and a full buffet. Business was a bit slow while I was there and the staff was eager to make sure I got great service. I did not ask but all of the buffet is, or appears to be, homemade. Lasagna, meatballs, sauerkraut, Italian sausages in red sauce, peppers and onions, mashed potatoes, gravies, fresh rolls, corn bread, buns, steak and gravy, salad bar with all sorts of fresh veggies creatively ready. All sorts of deserts. Many pies, some cookies and cakes. So much stuff to choose from !!!! I've been in the area for two months and this is my first time here. Too bad I waited soooo long to try this place! It's a real gem. I will return. Update : I ate here 4 times so far and still have not been able to try everything I wanted.

The food is great, the people are extremely friendly and accommodating. We arrived for the lunch deal around 3:00 p.m. and were seated immediately and we stayed very close to 6:00 p.m. (not eating beyond the normal, but enjoying our conversation). The staff checked on us to see if we needed more water, they noticed that we were not still dining, but enjoying each others' company, we had paid our bill and were done eating. Did not bother us, or ask us to leave as the place started to fill up with dinner guests, we removed ourselves to the outside (no chairs there--but standing and chatting for at least another 15 minutes). It would be nice if there was a bench there to sit on outside; but the place is large enough that I don't really see the need for a waiting area that would require them to put in one (outside). Not one time did a staff member ask us to leave because we were NOT eating...we had come for a late lunch and good conversation. It was really rewarding to have a business ALLOW us to sit there that long and not continuously ask if we were done, or to leave. They definitely get my vote! I will be returning. Clean, good atmosphere and inviting. Maybe it's the time of day we went, but I have NO complaints about the food, cleanliness or attitudes of the employees/servers.

The ginger was very fresh and the nigiri was also quite fresh. Appetizers were sautéed string beans, excellent, dumplings were overcooked, spring rolls were good but cold and the yakitori was very moist. Deviled crab was tasty but very little crab, more shell. Teriyaki's chicken was fresh and hot(temp). Many other dishes were unmarked or mis-marked as a shrimp dish was supposed to be potatoes. They also had a small salad bar and a larger dessert selection. Unfortunately for my taste, they offered 6 ice creams but non of the 6 was a sherbet. My perfect close to a Chinese dinner is sherbet(any flavor) topped with some mandarin orange slices.
