(Update below under update) 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. (UPDATE) I got sick from the food today. The bonless spare ribs were non-edible. They were overly burnt meat or old meat. 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. 1 stall in the woman's room was nroken. The other was clean. There were no paper towels. One of the workers got into a full out rude argument with a customer. 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.

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. 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. 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. Final take: Affordable, tons of variety, and perfect for those “I just want to eat a lot right now” moments.

Out of my hundreds of dine in experiences, this “buffet” has ranked the LOWEST. Off the rip the atmosphere looks incredible cheap, messy, dirty, and unpleasant. The sign outside wasn’t even lit properly so I should’ve taken that as my sign to not go in. I gave it a try anyways and the food was TERRIBLE! Please do not eat here. The food is low quality, uncooked, cold, and just disgusting. I ate uncooked chicken wings for gods sake. I felt like throwing up. There aren’t any garbage cans anywhere as well! The worst part is when they came to give me the check that I already paid for, all they cared about was the tip. I pointed at me the raw chicken wing and the waiter responded “aw you no like. What about tip? How much you tip”. The bathrooms weren’t even clean and functioning properly. I found a bug in the sink. I wouldn’t go if I was being paid too.

I have read a couple of reviews before visiting New Grand Buffet, and most were negative with regards to the food and the environment. I decided to eat here because of a matter of convenience at one point, and I was pretty satisfied with my overall experience.

As I walked in the door, there was somebody to greet me and took me to my table. I was sat down and a few seconds later, a waiter came up and took my order for a drink, and said I could go up and start getting food.

The selection wasn't that great, but there was enough to keep me interested. I have to agree with previous reviews regarding the food, as it could be of better quality. The place is also quite dark, so you need to strain your eyes a little to be able to see the corners of your little plate of food. The biggest issue I experienced was the ventilation in this huge place. You would think they have proper ventilation and air circulating to keep the place cool and breathable, but the air is always warm, muggy, and it hampers your ability to enjoy the food.

However, the price of $8.99 a person ($9.99 on weekends) is quite reasonable, and my experience wasn't too bad. If I am in the area and looking for a bite, I will come...
