" Honestly, I had a good experience. Sure, the variety of food left a bit to be desired, but what was available was pretty tasty. I particularly enjoyed the egg rolls and the ribs—they were surprisingly good for a buffet! The waitress we had was attentive and very polite. I could see people disliking this place, but it wasn't that bad for me. Definitely worth another visit, I'd say. " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard mixed reviews about Great China but decided to give it a try. It's a standard buffet, nothing fancy. The food tasted okay, but I was thrown off by how old some items looked. The sushi was definitely not fresh. Service was friendly, and the establishment was clean, but I left feeling unfulfilled. " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of friends and I visited Great China and had a great time! The food was good, albeit not the most authentic, but we enjoyed the fried rice and the dumplings. Service was solid, and I felt very welcomed. It's a nice spot for a casual dinner, not somewhere for a culinary adventure but a satisfying experience nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)

" Brought my friends for a casual dinner here. The ambiance was pleasant, but who are we kidding—the food did not live up to expectations. A lot of the offerings were just frozen reheated items. It's not traditional by any means. There’s plenty of space to eat, but I doubt I would come back again just because of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been to Great China a while back and had a good experience, but my most recent visit was quite the letdown. The food was lukewarm at best, and half of the options looked unappetizing. The staff were very nice and attentive, I just wish the food matched their level of service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Great China with some friends a while ago. While there was a sufficient amount of options in the buffet, they were just not enjoyable. The food was lackluster in flavor and freshness. The service was alright, but overall, I wouldn't recommend returning. My friends were lukewarm about it too. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great China seems to cater more towards the American palate than a true Chinese dining experience. While I appreciated their variety and the clean environment, the food lacked distinct flavor that I was expecting. It would work as a place to fill your stomach, rather than tantalize your taste buds. Wouldn't recommend it to someone craving authentic Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
