Sign in the bathroom.... not allowed to flush toilet paper?

I really wanted to like this place and am the last person to nitpick a business. Couple things to consider before reading the following; every business is having a staffing issue right now (not getting into the reasons, just saying). But staffing aside, the appearance and condition of this restaurant is a pre-Covid issue. Regardless of staffing. The interior is old, ugly, dirty, and run down. The floors were in really rough shape and the ceiling was in equally rough/dirty condition. The dining room was filled with a smokey haze for some reason. When we arrived we were quickly informed that the buffet line was out of order due to faulty warming stands. Which was fine, we were dining in off the menu anyway. We were seated after one other table. Five people in our party. It took a while to get our drink order in, due to the short staff. Only one young lady working the dining room and the cashier at the same time. A young man brought out food a few times but they were clearly overwhelmed and set up for failure. This is by far the failure of their leadership, not them. When they took our order, my father ordered two appetizers to start and then we each ordered our meal. A proper serving experience typically begins with the appetizers and then everyone's food is served at the same time. This is not at all how we were served. After waiting about 20 minutes, the young lady brought my dinner on a plate - no appetizers and no one else's dinner. Just mine. It was a whole ten minutes at least after that when two more dinner orders came out for my parents in TO-GO Boxes... zero explanation for why. 5 more minutes go by then my husband's dinner comes out on a plate. Only after my husband's dinner came out did the "appetizers" come out on plates and my grandfather still didn't have his food. The ONLY saving grace for this experience was the food itself. General consensus at our table was that the food was pretty good so that's the reason for the extra star. Any food-related complaints were mediocre (advertised as spicy but actually sweet, etc.) Food quality was good. That said, this place needs a MIRACLE overhaul - both service-wise and cosmetically. Walls need to be painted, floors and lower walls need a desperate cleaning/restoration. Ceiling needs re-tiled. Almost NO decor in the whole dining room. People love ethnic food and these spots have a great opportunity to really let their culture shine through their decor but there just wasn't anything but dirt and grime and outdated paint to look at. Folks were coming in to pick up call ahead orders and were standing around for a long time looking frustrated. A couple people appeared to have walked out because of the smokey haze in the air, or some other reason. Possibly not having access to the buffet. The sign in the bathroom (which was equally filthy) says that people can't flush toilet paper (see photo) - it literally instructs them to put it in the trash. You have to put your SOILED toilet paper IN THE TRASH "due to small pipes". This is definitely not sanitary. If you're going to operate a restaurant, it needs to have sufficient pluming to accommodate the restroom needs of a full dining room. This sign has to be a health code violation of some kind. This place could be great. They have the good food, but everything else needs to catch up, big time. We wanted to like our experience and we made the most of it. The staff was apologetic but everything that went wrong wasn't their fault. The owners need to step up and fix this building and retrain on the proper serving order for their guests.

The food is not that good and not worth my money. No flavor. Dull and bland compared to good Asian cuisine

New owners have destroyed a local favorite. Changed a bunch of the recipes and the place is always disgustingly filthy.

We have eaten here a few times (via takeout) during COVID-19, while our favorite Chinese place in…read morethe area is closed. We have been able to order and pay over the phone, then walk in to pick up our order. We have never eaten in, though the inside looks orderly. The new COVID specific sanitation set up at the front window where you pay is impressive. The owner is consistently wiping down and sanitizing, even during the two minutes it takes me to walk in for our order. I get vegetables with garlic sauce and white rice. My husband likes black pepper chicken. Our boys like General Tso chicken. Everything is fresh and hot, and very good. We do not care for the crab flavoring in the wontons, nor is the fried rice anything to write home about. The lomein is delicious, and the white rice has a wonderful, sweet, subtle flavoring that I can't decipher. I'm not sure if this would be a regular stop for us during "normal times," but I'm glad we found this option for takeout during COVID and the food is a solid four out of five rating.

This is a traditional generic Chinese food restaurant as far as I can tell. Place was empty when I…read moregot there on a Friday night. There was a young child doing his homework, which I think is the son of the owners. Otherwise no one else was in the place except for me and the kitchen staff. I've only ordered once from this restaurant and I ordered to go. I ate really late because I had worked a very long day and I was very hungry and did not wanna wait an hour before I was able to get home to try to make something. I ordered four items. Two appetizers and two main courses. The worst dish I ordered was the fried scallops. I don't believe they were actually scallops. I think they were some type of fish substitute that was shaped to look like scallops. They tasted absolutely horrible. I was starving at this point, I only ate a few of them. I kept on trying to decide if they were real or not. My determination they were not scallops. The scallops were one of the two appetizers I ordered. The second appetizer was the barbecue chicken sticks. They were palatable, and I was driving home so that's why I was eating the appetizers on my way home. I ate all the barbecue chicken sticks. Honestly the food kind of tasted funny. I'm assuming cheap oil. I ate all the barbecue chicken sticks on my way home. When I got home I tried the meals, the meals were very well proportioned there was a lot of food in the two dishes I ordered. I ordered egg foo young with shrimp. It was really well cooked but it didn't really taste excellent. It wasn't as bad as the fried scallops. But it was rather greasy and I'm working at eating healthier. The second main course I ordered was the Mushu chicken. Which is a very healthy dish because it's mostly vegetables and chicken. This was pretty good but again I think the oil they use is very cheap. I actually worked as a wok cook at a good earth, or several good earth restaurants . And I know what kind of oil you should use in a wok. I don't believe I will ever eat here again, but if I do it will be basic foods like cashew chicken, that probably would be good. I definitely would avoid the fried scallops or whatever they are. I'm eating a very low calorie diet currently cause I am working out very hard and attempting to get lean. Build muscle and lose fat kind of thing. I know these people work really hard and they were very very nice. And I might be a little snob when it comes to food. So for most people this would be a good restaurant to eat at. I wanted something that was fairly healthy and had a lot of protein and vegetables. One of my dishes came with fried rice. Which was basic fried rice and it was fine. And I had the wonton soup that came with one of my dishes. Which I have not tried yet. This place may be right for you. So don't just trust my opinion. Sorry I did not take any pictures. But again the portions were pretty darn good and the prices are reasonable. I got three fortune cookies, and I ate one. It was stale, so I threw out the other two.

Grand China Buffet Sushi & Grill. Clarksburg, WV. March, 2026. Craving Chinese food, four of us…read more(all adults) decided to check out the Grand China Buffet. It turned out to be a great choice for our group as we have very distinct eating preferences. The basis of MY meal was primarily the Mongolian grill, wherein you choose your own raw ingredients (meats, shrimp/crab, vegetables), noodles, and sauces, that are then freshly stir-fried on a gigantic grill by the grill-master. There was a good selection of meats and seafood, but I would've liked to have seen a wider variety of vegetables -- to include, for instance, carrots, water chestnuts, spinach, mini corn ears, etc. My selection was stir-fried perfectly (with meats well-cooked and veggies crisp tender), and the amount of sauce complemented rather than over-whelmed the dish. A second member of our group piled up, again and again, on seafood choices (and frog legs!) from the numerous buffet stations. The two other members of our party sampled a bit of everything, except the American choices. Grand China offers a large selection of Chinese entrees, noodles/rice, salads, sushi, the Mongolian grill, soups, some dim sum, desserts, and even ice cream. Did we love every dish? No. Did every member of our group find food choices that they enjoyed? A resounding yes. The restaurant is open 7 days per week, and was clean and busy. There's free and plentiful parking. The hostess and waitress were efficient and friendly enough. The dinner buffet ($14.99 per adult, or $1.20/year for kids aged 4-10 years) was a great value given the variety of food choices and the fact that it is all-you-can-eat. One recommendation to the restaurant. Please add sesame balls!
