Even though I now live 25-30 from there, I still make it over there a couple times a month to eat. It never disappoints me. P.S They now ONLY ACCEPT CASH. Which is frustrating, because I keep forgetting when I go. The little corner store next to them, does cash back for a 3 dollar fee. Yeah I know ugh. Still worth it for me!!“

“This was my first time eating here and I lived in Charleston my whole life. This was the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. It was really good. I had shrimp fried rice with chicken wings and teriyaki chicken. The shrimps were big in the rice. The fried chicken was really good and the teriyaki chicken was great. I will definitely be going back“

The people that work there are always very friendly to me and sometimes know what I want before I even order. I go there to often I guess lol. In the mood for Chinese food Ocean City is the place to go.“

“I have tried so many Chinese food restaurants near me and this is far and away my favorite! The food is so good and has really nice meat, not just breading like a lot of places. They also do party platters which are so fun and still really good quality. If you want classic Chinese take out, look no further.“

“Grand Buffet Chinese food | North Charleston, Sc

4950 Centre Pointe Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418

Grand Buffet – North Charleston, SC (3.8 ⭐ out of 5)
If you’re in the mood for the classic American-style Chinese buffet experience — where the steam trays stretch longer than your willpower — Grand Buffet in North Charleston delivers a solid, dependable meal that hits the spot.
Walking in, you’re greeted by a pretty typical buffet setup: rows of familiar favorites like lo mein, fried rice, General Tso’s chicken, and enough crispy egg rolls to feed a small army. The good news? Everything we tried was fresh, hot, and regularly restocked, which is honestly half the battle with buffets. Nothing sad or dried out sitting under the heat lamps here — the staff kept the trays filled in a timely manner.
The food itself was good, with a wide selection that covers the usual Chinese buffet classics. If you’re the kind of person who likes to build a plate that looks like a delicious game of culinary Tetris, you’ll have plenty of options to work with.
The staff and host were friendly, which always makes the experience better. The restaurant was semi-clean, meaning it wasn’t sparkling like a five-star dining room, but it was perfectly acceptable for a busy buffet environment.
Now for the minor bumps in the road. At times the servers seemed to vanish like ninjas in a kung-fu movie — one minute they’re there, the next minute you’re wondering if they discovered teleportation. It felt like they might have been a little understaffed, which would explain the disappearing act.
The price landed around $28 with tip on a weekend, which feels slightly on the heavier side for a buffet. Not outrageous, but enough to make you briefly question whether you grabbed enough crab rangoon to get your money’s worth.
Pros
✔ Good selection of classic Chinese buffet dishes
✔ Food was hot and fresh
✔ Buffet trays restocked regularly
✔ Friendly host and staff
✔ Food tasted good overall

Final Verdict
Grand Buffet delivers exactly what you expect from a Chinese buffet: hot food, plenty of variety, and a chance to go back for “just one more plate” about four times. If you’re hungry and in the North Charleston area, it’s a solid 3.8 out of 5 stars and worth stopping by.
Just remember: buffets operate on a simple rule — pace yourself… or regret it halfway through plate number three.“

“We had a great time. In general the food was good. Great value for the money. We loved the fresh sugar doughnuts 🤤 yummy.
Only sad that they had stale crab cakes in the shell with no refill in sight 😭.
Friendly and fast service 👍“

“Ever since the Chinese Express on Old Trolley went completely down hill Yummy Yummy has become my main place for Chinese takeout and they did not disappoint. The only issue I have is they don’t have any combo meals. You have to get a full container of rice and sesame chicken, which isn’t what someone always want to purchase“
