New Grand Buffet & The Mighty Crab

The food didn't taste good. The rice and noodles were ok. Everything else, ehh. The tables feel sticky the place looks dirty. You can see the people im the kitchen and the kitchen looks messy. Not as it used to be.

This place renovated for nothing the place is discussing the food is cold the service is horrible the bathroom is disgusting. They just throw the food on the counters without cleaning.<br>They take out more people that they can handle. They’re so rude and nasty. Why we used to come here before many years ago. The waiters are so nice and they just don’t care they see your place. They don’t care that. I do nothing. Bathroom is absolutely disgusting. They say Mother’s Day special 2599 2699 but they should at least box in the bathroom and keeping up with maintaining a clean environment for customers more money to make them more greedy they get I came here to pay for three people, only one of us and then in charge for three so I’m definitely gonna reverse the payment because this is unacceptable is the place in the world to eat? I don’t recommend this place and no one the food is horrible. It’s not like before, the waiters are rude as hell

It's a cheap priced buffet. It's not gournet nor was it the better ones. You get crawfish, shrimps, salmon, clam for $15 during lunch time (as of April 23rd of 2026). Snowcrabs and lobsters are extra cost. Monday to friday before 3PM for the best price. Dinners and weekends are more. Quality is certainly NOT good but it was ok for the price. They have sushi bar, fruits and veggies plus ice cream. Service was excellent. Food was meh.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was below average. The service was also poor.<br>What bothered me the most was the cleanliness. The dining area didn’t feel clean, and the tables looked like they hadn’t been wiped properly.<br>The restroom was in very bad condition—dirty and poorly maintained, which made the overall experience even worse.<br>Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place and won’t be coming back.

Foods items are limited some items are missing compare to other chiness buffets I wouldn’t recommend anyone this buffet at all

The BEST empanadas around by far!!! The ladies running the business are so polite and helpful. They are truly delightful and they remember all of their customers. Gracias ladies para todo. You are the best! Abrazos. 🤗🙏🏻🫶💫

I am from the UK attending the UN CSW conference. Read the review online and it was accurate. I met the nicest receptionist she helped me navigate through the menu. And the meal was clean, fresh and nice. I will definitely recommend it to friends in the UK and the USA. I would have given it a 5-star but no table lemon water bowl Keep up the good job.👍🏾

I use to come to the previous buffet that was here almost 20 years ago. I just so happened to be in Queens and wanted something for lunch. My wife said the buffet we use to go to....Hmmm that's why I married her! Looked it up, see it was new and still pulled up. The workers were very polite. The options seemed kinda limited but I still found enough to satisfy my hunger and the misses was complaining so it definitely wasn't bad. Didn't really care for the service charge though. Service would mean we were served, which we clearly served ourselves. Then a tip on top of that is asking too much and I usually over tip when receiving GREAT service. Bringing me a drink that's included in my charge isn't serving if I don't have to option if getting it myself. Like a had station that offers full and send service. Full service pays a little extra so you don't have to get out your car. Anyway. Kind people, good food but may not return and we use to go here often from Harlem just because we liked it but not digging the Service Charge honestly. A money grab. You'd be better off raising the price $1.50. Wouldn't look as thirsty.

Ooh my gosh. It's no test of the food.Oh my Gosh, I've never eaten such terrible food before. Was this prepared for pi... or something? It's awful, I have no words. Haven't you people ever eaten decent food? And the Coca-Cola is terrible. My God, what kind of restaurant is this? I used to go to Chinese buffets, they were so delicious, but what kind of food is this? It's horrible!

My friends, staffs, and I have come to this place and had lots of food there like seafood, fried items, sushi, stir-fries, noodles, salads, and more. The food there was wonderful and tasty. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was that there were people in their eating, talking, and others.

So there’s a buffet spot in Woodside called Grand Buffet, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a classic Chinese-owned buffet clean dining areas, tons of food, and that mix of Asian-American and Western comfort eats. We’re talking General Tso’s chicken, fried rice, pizza, mashed potatoes, tacos… basically a little bit of everything.<br><br>Flavor-wise? Pretty average. Nothing mind-blowing, but nothing you’ll regret either. It’s very “hit the spot if you’re starving” food. Not authentic Chinese, more like the Americanized version, so just keep that in mind before you go in expecting traditional dishes.<br><br>The real win here is the price and variety—especially for lunch. You can load up your plate, try a bit of everything, and leave full without breaking the bank. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here all the time, but if I’m in the area and need a fast lunch or dinner, it’s an easy yes.<br><br>Final take: Affordable, tons of variety, and perfect for those “I just want to eat a lot right now” moments.

Caveat to this rating: value makes this place worth it, specifically lunch special all you can eat, and you'll need to hone in on the better dishes. I think the American Chinese food selection is quite tasty, but I would avoid things that need more attention to quality to be good, such as the whole sausage links and steamed fish and sushi. Once you get to know this place though, the staff are friendly to regulars and you'll find ice cream, a chocolate fountain, shrimp cocktails, general tso chicken, stir fried beef, dumplings, fries, chicken nuggets, you name it! If you have kids, give them a try, they have age-based discounts and they'll be able to experience a somewhat dying breed of restaurant experience. Super nostalgic for me!

Didn’t plan to visit this place at all<br>just walked by and saw “All You Can Eat Buffet” with a reasonable price, so I thought… why not?<br><br>I arrived quite late, around 9–10 PM, and was honestly worried the food wouldn’t be replenished. But to my surprise, the trays were still getting refilled, and the variety was impressive seafood, fried items, sushi, stir-fries, noodles, salads, and more. For the price, it’s definitely a great value!<br><br>The only downside? The service.<br>Staff didn’t seem very friendly and looked like they just wanted to close up quickly (even though it wasn’t closing time yet). And I’ve seen other reviews mention the same.<br><br>Still, if you’re just looking for a wide selection of food and a full stomach late at night without breaking the bank, this place is worth a try.

(Update below under update)<br><br>Your getting what you pay for here. I have been here several times. I arrived on a June Monday morning at around 12:40. The place was packed. But it appears to have been a bunch of High Scool graduates with their families.<br><br>The food was not that bad. Once again you get what you pay for. $13.05 per adult with tax. That does not include a drink. I always go for water.<br><br>The staff was not so bad either. I have had issues with them in the past. In the past they would beg for a tip and try to embarrass you.<br><br>There is no hiding it, this place is dirty. The last that checks the food to refill just throws any food left on the counter back into the dish. I have seen her take new serving utensils and use her bare hands on the serving side of the utensil to put it in the dish. I am attaching a picture of her.<br><br>Out of the 6 dishes I had to go through, 3 of them were clean. There is a film of grease all over the dishes. Normally there is a layer of film on the water.<br><br>I had 3 refills. Mainly sausage and boneless ribs. I did not opt for the shrimp today. But you can not really go wrong with shrimp.<br><br>(UPDATE)<br>I got sick from the food today. The bonless spare ribs were non-edible. They were overly burnt meat or old meat.<br><br>There were not many people and the lady that normally throws the food back into the serving plats and also refilss them, was standing around just mixing each of the plates.<br><br>1 stall in the woman's room was nroken. The other was clean. There were no paper towels.<br><br>One of the workers got into a full out rude argument with a customer.<br><br>I really think this will be the last time I come to this place. No more chances. Lowering my rating down to 1 star from 3.

Place was packed today. Food was delicious. Service was fair. The bad part, the waitress demanded a tip. She wouldn't leave my partner's side. She appeared like she was going grab the change from her. After she got the tip, she practically kicked us out of the restaurant.
