Grand China Buffet

Grand China Buffet welcomes diners to a bright, family‑friendly dining room just a short walk from Alpena’s historic downtown and the scenic Lake Huron shoreline. Open every day from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, the restaurant offers a full Chinese buffet complemented by a live wok station where the chef prepares fresh stir‑fry dishes such as chicken chow mein, beef and broccoli, and shrimp fried rice using locally sourced ingredients from the Alpena market. Signature items include the sweet‑and‑sour pork ribs, crispy spring rolls, and a steaming hot Szechuan noodle soup that draws both locals and visitors alike. The interior features traditional lantern lighting, bamboo accents, and comfortable seating that encourages groups to linger over tea. Prices range from $12 for adults to $6 for children, making it an affordable option for families, students, and tourists exploring the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary nearby. Friendly staff members are attentive and quick, ensuring that plates are refilled promptly. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch after a boat tour or settling in for a relaxed dinner after a day at the Alpena County Historical Museum, Grand China Buffet promises generous portions, authentic flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere. Reservations can be made by calling (989) 358‑8889, and online ordering is available through the EzorderNow platform for convenient take‑out.
