    Visiting from California. Food is not good, nor fresh. -it looks like the food has been sitting for hours. All food items are empty . Service - is horrible. I understand why the place is empty. Ambiance- is okay. Pic's below provided...

    Bowl with orange chicken and white rice.

    Lately the portions have been terrible. 10 dollars for 5 pieces of chicken if you're lucky. Too expensive for the portions.

    I uh ate the Walnut shrimp too fast....looooool

    I'm generally not a huge fan of junk food but it does hit the spot. It's really the staff that does it. They're super friendly and give you samples of everything which is super cool. But I generally know what I want. I can probably live off the Walnut shrimp forever. Manager here is extremely courteous and professional while running the joint. I'd definitely come back and I have...really for the staff. They all need raises!

    Must not be the best day at Panda. The fried rice was overly salty and the orange chicken was burned.

    Bowl was half fricken cabbage.

    We came here on Christmas Day and for the price, this buffet is excellent!…read more Generally speaking, the food was fresh and even an hour before close, they were still adding hot items. The standouts were the hot & sour soup, the peanut butter chicken, and the shrimp. The ice cream was a little weird, but the almond cookies were great. The staff was quiet, but attentive. I would come again. I think it was like $13/person?

    We usually don't go out to buffets all that often but this place was recommended by my little…read morebrother. It is on the corner spot of a small little strip in Mchenry to start. There was quite a bit of folks there so obviously it's a known and respected establishment in town. You walk into a clean establishment and you pay for the amount of people eating. I believe that we paid $28 for the 2 of us before tip which i felt was rather fair for a legitimate all you can eat chinese buffet. After you pay you go find whichever seating you would like/ can find. We chose a booth which was nice as we prefer them because both of our backs are bad so it was nice to sit comfortably. The food is mainly chinese throughout besides the dessert section which had a nice spread. They even had a little bit of pizza and mac and cheese available which is good if you have a younger one with you maybe not willing to take on chinese food just yet. The food was ok. It was not bad by any means, but it also did not check my box for being above average. It just tasted like middle of the road chinese food, which mind you in a buffet setting is totally fine with me especially considering you can just select items you enjoy more than others. They also have to prep and cook large amounts of different items quickly too so i was not necessarily expecting everything to be super tip top tasting. If i had to choose a word for the food it would be serviceable for sure and there was a ton of it! I am rating this spot a 4/5 stars this time around because you have to put everything into perspective. The food itself was not a true 4/5 but you do have to know what you're getting yourself into when you come through the doors. You pay a rather cheap price for a crap ton of food! We left stuffed and had a good time which in my book is what really counts , again considering the price! So all in all if you are in the area, i would totally recommend this to anyone maybe looking to save a few dollars and get a ton of food as well. The staff was nice and even brought our drinks to the table for us which was a nice thing that stood out to me. Definitely a spot that I would come back to for sure and might even bring my little brother along to thank him for the reasonable suggestion!!! Grand Buffet you are alright in my book!!!!

You don't put ANY EFFORT in preparing food anymore!! PLEASE don't embarrass yourself any longer....JUST CLOSE!! Not to mention the restaurant itself is just past its prime. DARK, DINGY and PATHETIC!! IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE!!

    Has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Fox Lake. It might be the only one. Golden Dragon…read moreis a pretty old looking place that may look like it could be closed, but it's still open for business. Pretty dank inside, but every Chinese restaurant like this it seems to have food better than it looks, and the same thing for here. The prices are pretty good for portions. At lunch we came in and got a table with no wait at all. It only had a couple other tables occupied, and one of those was by a few employees. The atmosphere is pretty lame to be honest. Got a couple orders anyway. There's a few things for vegetarians. It's about $10 for an entree. I got the Golden Tofu. This item was actually unfamiliar. I had never heard of this before. This had a thick kind of soy sauce that was quite salty. Lots of vegetables in it. There was broccoli, carrots, and onions. Got to say it was better than expected. It may look crappy inside and outside, but the food holds up. There's plenty of meaty options, as well as things for vegetarians.
