Grand Buffet

Pretty good Chinese buffet place. Nothing over the top, but no complaints. Pretty good selection of items, could have more sushi items, although a buffet cannot possibly put out high quality sushi, so I get it. Prices are decent and the staff is friendly. I come here often, but haven’t been in awhile since the fire damage/​closing. Glad to see its reopened!

Best Chinese buffet in Cincinnati! Believe it or not folks, this is as good as it gets… well for this area that is. My family and I really enjoyed the food here and will be coming back again! Great food selection too!

I don’t think I have ever had more bland Oriental food in my life hot and sour soup it’s neither hot nor sour not sure what it was. The pepper steak taste like pepper on cardboard ever since they rebuilt they have gone from five star to one star

Super clean, super good Chinese buffet food, and awesome atmosphere! Surprisingly this place is fantastic and absolutely worth a shot. Whether you’re in Oakley, Hyde park, or Pleasant Ridge, you have to check out this place.
I was skeptical at first just because of where it is, but it’s a place I will for sure be coming back to. Pleasant Ridge is Cincinnati’s next HOTTEST neighborhood!

I really enjoyed the food some things better than others. it was good considering it was a buffet. The service was good and the newly remodeled place was clean and inviting. Great selection of food more than most places Ive been. I will be back

Glad to see they have reopened. The food is as good as I remember. I went straight for my favorites like black pepper chicken, seafood delight, baked spinach with cheese, and crab ragoons. They have many other favorites too.
They have done well redesigning the restaurant since it was closed for some time due to a fire. The place looks roomier and the back wall is now a nice mural of horses running and even the ceiling has the look of the sky with a few palm trees. I would highly recommend this place.

I’m full. It’s a Chinese buffet. Always judge the restaurant by the cleanliness of their bathroom for final scoring. Overall satisfied. Friendly, attentive staff.

I wouldn’t say it was bad, but it was really not good. Typical buffet food. I would avoid this place if you can.

Food was typical, so not bad. It’s a buffet, so there are alot of different options although there is some order of options. The atmosphere is okay, pretty casual. The downside: my waitress was very rude & the bathrooms were awkward.

It’s an all you can eat Chinese buffet. If you don’t know exactly what that means than you probably don’t want to go there. If you do…
The General Tso’s is pretty good.
Good Lo Mein.
Um… not bad, not great. Like I said, it’s an all you can eat Chinese buffet.

Takeout. The food is spot on like every other Chinese buffet. My only complaint is the extensive pricing structure for take out (diff price for regular items v seafood items v miscellaneous items) thus resulting in multiple different packages. Eh so be it.

Beware!!!
I wasn’t really hungry when I came here so I did not have a variety of foods. I just had sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and a piece of fried chicken. I do not know what happened but a few hours later I was on the toilet, and kept going back. Something I ate did not sit well with me.
This place deserves a visit from the health department and is also in need of a major renovation. Its as if it was an old Denny’s circa 1985.

Try the pepper chicken and the vanilla custard

If you know me, you know that I love me a good Chinese buffet. Grand buffet left me wanting. I know I’m not going to find a buffet to compare to ones in big cities, but while this was close to three stars, it didn’t quite make it and I’m about to tell you why.
The best thing I had here was the salt and pepper prawns. Those were really legit. Crunchy, zesty, big prawns. The salt and pepper chicken, broccoli chicken and green beans were also decent. Crab legs… ok. It’s just downhill from there. I think that a lot of the dishes actually tasted decent, but were out on hot plates too long. We went around 6, so it was still prime dinner time but I noticed they started serving dinner at 3 or 4. There’s an easy solution to this: put out less until you hit prime dinner time.
Why this couldn’t even meet an average Chinese buffet standard: too many breaded chicken variants. The hot and sour soup, which actually TASTED good, had way too much cornstarch in it so it had almost a gelatinous consistency. The lo mein noodles must have been cooked too long because they were a bit mushy. Potstickers had been out too long and were hard. Honey shrimp was douched in mayo. List goes on. For all these issues, $ 10 is too much.
The service was fine for a buffet, but I’m probably not coming back here unless I’m wildly desperate for Chinese buffet and this is the closest one– and if that happens I hope the food’s better.

This is not even standard Chinese food for me. I can’t even eat there anymore after seeing the terrible condition on the bathroom. I actually called the board of health. I don’t know what became of it. No thanks!

Large variety of items but quality is not good. Just mass produced frozen stuff. Too salty and heavy use of oil.

For Chinese food. It’s standard, for Chinese food in the area, it’s the best. Their dinner buffet has quite a selection of just about everything, including american style dishes, desserts, and fruit. But my favorite part is that they have sushi and lobster. Altho the 2 are kind of hit or miss. One time its excelent another time the lobsters been in the water so long its washed away the taste.
In my opinion, they could have a few more dishes. It’s a lot of the same thing, whith just a different spice kick or a slightly off sauce. But the wait staff is incredibly nice and are pretty attentive too. And the price is good, so it’s a win win win :)

Like Heather said, standard Chinese buffet. But the best one I’ve been to in the Cincinnati area. Excellent honey shrimp, which is possibly one of the most greasy, sugary, fatty foods in the world.

This is not high quality chinese food but it’s a standard chinese buffet and I’ve been to it a million times. My friend isn’t very adventurous and it’s made her approved list of restaurants so we go a lot. The chicken on a stick is good and the donuts rock. I mean — duh — it’s a greasy chinese buffet.
The owners are great — we heard some chinese rap music there one day and mentioned it on our way out and they gave us the cd.
