Great China

I love hole-​in-​the wall places like Great China Restaurant. It’s not dirty, the place just looks really dated. Oddly, the ceiling had some amazing decorations, while the rest of the stuff could use some updates. The seating/​booths were comfortable and clean.
I had the lunch buffet after I drove up to Greg’s for our jerky fix and was very happy with the food. $ 5.99 for lunch is a great price. I prefer buffets that have a small quantity of food and make sure that it all tastes great. If you’re looking for 200 items on a buffet instead of about ten really well prepared items, then avoid this place.
Everything was hot, made fresh, contained tons of veggies, and tasted very good. The crab rangoons were made just how I like them; bite-​sized, crunchy, hot, and with just the right amount of filing. They had a ton of chicken dishes and I enjoyed all of them. Some of them I’d never seen before on even some of the larger buffets. I really liked the crunchy pepper chicken.
Two people worked during lunch and were very professional, worked hard, and had smiles on their faces the entire meal. One employee was hostess, waitress, server, answered the phone, and cashier.
My only suggestions/​complaints were that there was only one eggroll on the buffet for my first trip and it looked soggy (had been sitting for some time), so I didn’t get to try it. They did bring out some fresh ones that I saw on my second trip, but I like to start with the appetizers and then move main course. The soups could maybe use a little more salt. The hot and sour had ton of great veggies and tofu. However, just like the egg drop, they both needed a tad more salt.
I noticed that they have take-​out during lunch too. It was $ 5.86 (with tax) for a medium-​sized polystyrene container.
Overall, if I’m in the area, I will visit again.
