Far East Buffet - Grand Forks

I had heard bad things about this place but decided to get my own view. I was not disappointed. I got the chicken fried rice to go and it was amazing. ONE of the best I've eaten in ND, LA, AZ, NC FL. The staff was friendly and helpful. I WILL ABSOLUTELY BE BACK.

Food was okay. Had a buffet so that was good. Best dish was the breaded shrimp.

This place has pretty decent buffet Chinese food. The lunch crowd (about 20% of the restaurants capacity) emptied the buffet out pretty fast so many items were empty on the buffet, but the food I had was good.

Went on Thursday night and were really excited to try as we love Chinese and were hoping for another choice besides Panda(no slam). The waitress didn't address us, but pointed to a table. We sat down having never been there and watched others to know that we were supposed to get our own drinks, not a big deal. Went to get food and there were few options, all of which were either crusty or swimming in sauce. We both got a partial plate and went to eat. Nothing was hot, luke warm at best. Little to no taste on any of it, neither of us could finish. Ended up being $14/person for absolutely awful food. Would NOT recommend!

The hot and sour soup was thick like syrup and had little flavor. Mongolian pork and the fried shrimp were good and the egg foo Yung patties with gravy weren't the worst. Well maintained soda machine with proper carbonation. Went for lunch and stuff was picked over pretty well and what was left was kinda cold.
