The food is typically cold with the impression it has been sitting out all day. We have eaten there several occasions and it’s always disappointing. Unfortunately griffin does not offer another Chinese buffet. The spring rolls are frozen not fresh. Lack of options to choose from. We prefer Sakura in McDonough. Only good thing really is the waitstaff is friendly.

I have dined here a few time and the food is ok..I'd like to see fresher foods bought out to the buffet in a timely manner. After sitting under light food dries out. I like the crab casserole and both visits I felt like I was fishing from the leftovers because the pan had just enough in a corner of the pan..so I had to wait for a fresh pan. The shrimps I avoid due to it's not DEVEINED.

Posted by the cash register at the exit is the county cleanliness score. A score of 76 is not acceptable. I won't be going back any time soon. That score is a "D". Typical scores should be in the low 90's.

The food was good and the food selections are incredible and the service was just right.. I would recommend this place to everyone.. you definitely get what you pay for.. excellence..

I watch the people working in there making wantons and eating off the spoon as they're making them this was just April 1st 2022. I will never eat there again and I have reported this restaurant. They had the nerve to tell me it was tradition for them to taste their food and they were outside of the kitchen while they were doing it as I was watching them. Never will I eat again at this nasty place.

Pandabear used to be my favorite Chinese place to go. I've been going here since I was a kid. Because of my last visit, I probably won't return.Very little friendliness was encountered when I entered besides the younger hostess giving a smile. When I was sat down, not once did my server introduce herself. Never asked me how I was doing during my meal and after running out of tea, I was never offered a refill. Upon getting my second plate, I was given my receipt and told to have a good night. This is after my server spent the last ten minutes on her phone in clear view of everyone around.When I went to pay, there were two older Chinese ladies sitting eating while another guest and myself were there at the podium looking for who was going to take our checks. After a minutes, one of them goes to the back to get the hostess I encountered earlier. After paying, I see that they had only received a C on their last health inspection. They have it conveniently behind the pay counter where you don't see it until you are finished. Had I of saw it earlier, I definitely would have just walked out.

Our group came in on a Sunday for a 1 pm lunch. Restaurant is clean and well lit. Food selections are numerous. Surprisingly fresh and hot. Very good service also.

the food was so effing good. ? this is the best buffet i have been to by far. i wish they had naked shrimp but the breaded shrimp was so good i didn’t even care anymore and i don’t usually eat breaded shrimp but theirs has a good little tang to it that just made it so good. the shrimp inside wasn’t the usual micro shrimp either. the waitress was also really nice & sweet. it was so good, i wanna give you a 100 but that’s not possible, so i give you a 5/5.

Last time we were here there were TOO many guests entering the restaurant without masks on or going through the buffet area without them on. The food was not hot enough either - everything on my plate became cold within a matter of minutes. There are too many dining options still available to settle for another experience like that one.

The large fish listed as salmon was obviously a white fish like Pollock or talapia, so that was false advertising, the Mac n cheese tasted fishy, everybody in our group was in the restroom soon after our dinner here. The stuffed shrimp, pineapple shrimp, and steak was tasty. The staff was very friendly, so that was a good thing.
