I am not a fan of all-you-can-eat buffets but my two partners in crime love them so they always pressure me to go. This is the only one I ever agree to go to. The place is clean, the staff is polite and friendly, and there are plenty of food options. The sushi bar is always good, and they have a whole separate seafood section. Some of the food is a tad bland, but most of it is pretty good. My biggest complaint is that the food is not hot enough in the hot plates. We usually call ahead to see how busy it is and to see how many kids are there first, to minimize the level of buffet contamination, and the staff has always been honest with this info so far.

I visited Grand Buffet in New Jersey on the weekend for lunch, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. From the moment I walked in, the owner greeted us warmly and politely, which I appreciated. He also thanked us as we left, showing genuine courtesy. Sadly, the food itself did not match the hospitality.
Many of the dishes tasted reheated and stale, as if they had been left over from the day before. The calamari was fried so dark brown it looked like it had been cooked multiple times, leaving it rubbery and unpleasant. The sea bass had the same problem—overcooked, lacking freshness, and with a stale flavor. Across the buffet line, most of the food was bland, greasy, and simply not enjoyable.
The Hibachi station was another disappointment. The food had no flavor, and the cook immediately pointed to the tip jar the very first time I asked him to prepare something, insisting I drop in a tip before he even started cooking. That felt unprofessional and uncomfortable, especially in a buffet setting where tipping is usually optional and based on service.
On another visit for the weekday lunch, I tried the cantaloupe, and it tasted spoiled to the point —it was not edible. Fruit should be one of the simplest and freshest items to serve, so this was especially concerning.
The overall atmosphere didn’t help either. The presentation of the food was sloppy, and nothing looked appetizing. For a buffet, variety and freshness are expected, but here everything tasted tired, reheated, and poorly prepared.
While I appreciated the owner’s politeness and warm greeting, the food quality and service made this one of the worst buffet experiences I’ve had. Between the lack of fresh food, poor cooking quality, spoiled fruit, and the awkward demand for tips, I cannot recommend this place.

The food was really tasty, and the atmosphere was lovely and spotless! The only small thing is that the dessert selection isn't very wide, but overall, it’s a wonderful place.

No vibe. Servers are standing around watching your every move. It's uncomfortable. Foods are flavorless. I have never had salt & pepper Calamari so bland.

Something for everyone! Clean buffet with fresh food. We took the kids and both the adventurous eater and the picky eater found plenty to enjoy. The toddler had chicken nuggets and tried a little of everything else. Having fruit and dessert after dinner was a real treat. All the kids keep asking to go back and we're happy to oblige!

Smaller than most of buffets ive been too. The food is almost always the same at the buffet and this is the same. Food was decent and sushi was always available. When its busy, its crowded by the food and its easy to bump into people.

Astoundingly disgusting. My wife vomited in the parking lot. Food was not fit for human consumption. Tasted old, cold and rancid. Buffet food was cold, smelled and tasted old. Approached management for a resolution, and he rudely stated they have been there for 30 years, and did nothing to reach an accord. Save your health and money. Zero stars. It makes Hard Wok Buffet look like a Michelin star establishment. Better off dining from a dumpster, truthfully. Could gag a maggot. Was like eating at fear factor. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

After reading reviews ahead of time, we decided to try this buffet. Although clean and welcoming, the decor is outdated. There was a normal variety of food but not much in the way of vegetables. No salad bar for instance, if your palette needs a break from saucy, rich food. One item that was fresh and bright was the cold seafood salad. Our server was cheerful and attentive. Decent overall.
