The food was good, fresh, and hot. However, it was expensive, in my opinion. I liked that the ice cream wasn't self serve, that always tends to be gross from kids lol.

Great Chinese buffet with fresh food and friendly staff, even if a few are a little awkward no hard feelings though! Take it on even if you think Chinese buffets are generally meh, it's pretty good.

The food is hot, fresh and good. The Service is friendly and good. The ambience is casual with average background noise. They have made a lot of improvements to the hot bars, including more things than just Chinese food.

My husband really wanted a buffet and we had heard good things about this one (and received a coupon in the mail). This building was clearly a former Golden Corral with the identical layout. When you walk in, there is a double-sided counter to pay and order your drinks. For two adults at lunch, our cost after our 10% off coupon (but before tip) was $27. There is self-service for finding a seat, getting silverware, and of course, your food. There is waitstaff assigned to each table section to take plates and get drink refills. Many sections of food available, one with fruits and salads, one with American fare like pizza and mac and cheese, a few with Chinese staples like sweet and sour chicken, chicken and broccoli, general tso's, coconut shrimp, egg rolls, crab rangoon, rice (white and fried), udon noodles, and sautéed green beans. There is also a large section with fresh sushi. The food was cooked well. The sushi was fresh and veggies cooked perfectly. My favorite item in the whole buffet was the green bean dish (yes, seriously ;-) ). I just wish the food had been warmer. Not the buffet's fault (nor impacting my rating), but there were so many people all around us coughing as they got their food and then handling the spoons. I liked that there were disposable gloves available near the sushi section.

KUDOS, and thanks so much to Mr. Hong for providing supreme quality customer at Grand Buffet in Knoxville! There are many varieties of food on their buffet! The restaurant is very clean and busy with many customers! They even give discounts to seniors and military! I recommend all to come support this local business!
