First off, the food here is not amazing, the service is not brilliant nor is there anything particularly standout about it. What it offers however, is the opportunity to eat your heart out at an affordable price of $16.95 per person for dinner, or a $9.95 per person for lunch. This all AYCE buffet located conveniently in Sunnyside, Queens is one of very few available in the neighborhood, and is perhaps the best bang for your buck.
Food: 3.5/5- As a chinese buffet, they serve all your standard fried items and Chinese "specialties". There's a decent selection of seafood including King Crab legs, salmon, teriyaki fish, and various shrimps and crabs in different dishes. There's also a good selection of meats ranging from thin sliced chicken to steak. The salad bar is your standard salad bar with various greens, deviled eggs, a selection of cheese and fruits as well as a wide range of sauces. My favorite part of this place is the Sushi Bar, where there's a decent selection of freshly made sushi. All the food had good flavors, albeit not fantastic.
Service: 4/5 The service here is not standout, but is much better than many other Chinese buffets. The waiters and waitresses come around fairly often to refill water, and generally are more attentive. You do serve yourself, so a lot of the work doesn't belong to them, but for what they do do, is done to an acceptable standard. They also have a birthday special where they sing you a song and give a free cupcake if you have proof that one of your members is having a birthday.
Atmosphere: 4/5 The place is fairly large, and has a ton of seating. The lighting is a bit dim but this actually adds to the atmosphere. It has an almost romantic feel, which is strange for an AYCE buffet. The utensils are presented nicely, the seating is cozy, and there's ample room to walk.
Overall: 4/5 I'd actually give this a 3.5/5, but I'll bump it to 4 since the price is so nice for the amount of food you're eating. Once again, this place does not blow my mind, but it is consistently a good meal. I would not go here more than once every few months, but if I were hungry, and only had less than 20 bucks while still wanting to dine out, this would be a solid choice.
An Economically Pleasant Buffet Restaurant. While New Grand Buffet will not fulfill a gourmand's dream, it does have some tasty fare. They do tend to overcook such things as snow crab legs and shellfish in general. The salt and pepper frog's legs, spicy baby octopus (the entire miniature cephalopod), hot and sour soup and most desserts are consistently reliable choices in my experience. The Chinese dishes are often acceptable, if not the best versions that you may have encountered while dining. The price is right.
Buffet become more fresh now!. I went another day, the food looks different, looks they did some things new, it look more fresh and delicious, I'm glad the price is the same~~
