Empire Buffet II 4255 Alpine Avenue Northwest, Comstock Park, MI 49321

"Greatest Chinese buffet in Grand Rapids period. Been here 100+ and everything id absolutely great. Food is most fresh around 11-3. Amazing fried rice and Chinese cuisine for $11"

"It was ok. The selection wasn't too bad, but it didn't taste quite as good as our favorite Chinese Buffet. I order from here frequently and the food I order is always good. They didn't have the foods I normally order out in the buffet, so perhaps that's why I didn't like it as much? Not bad for the cost though."

"Food - This place has always been a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s good, others not so much. Dinner is always better than lunch. Usually they put out fresh food often so it’s not stale and old but occasionally you do get bad batches of some items. Service - Staff is always friendly and normally very attentive. Atmosphere - In desperate need of a glow up, it’s a bit raggedy. Needs new seating and probably a better more accessible layout. There is a ton of potential to dress this place up nicely but as it sits right now, it is a bit off putting."

"Horrible!! Figured my family and I would give this place a try, I hadn't been in a good few years. Bad decision. Our first clue should have been the fact there was nobody there when we arrived. I ended up spending $60 on sub par ( at best) food. Most was cold, they had fried chicken out but looked like it had been cooked, put away then recooked to put back out. After dinner my daughter wanted to check out the dessert table, there was hundreds of fruit flies swarming that area. Then upon paying discovered she had charged me the price of a soda for water, when I asked about it she argued so we just paid and left. Plus during our dinner she let the plates just pile up, not like she was busy with other tables as we were the only ones for a good bit. Also, proceeded to reach across my husband & his plate multiple times. Gross. Never again"

"First visit at 5:30 on a Tuesday, rice was good, hot sour soup was good, lo mein had good flavor, chicken and beef had decent flavor but was dry, lots of seafood options, dessert options were ok (no almond cookies), lots of stir fry options. Decent amount of food options but most of the food was not hot or fresh. Food wasn’t terrible but definitely not worth the 17.99, plus $4 for drinks. Not familiar with the area so not sure what options are available. Would have given it 3 stars if the price matched the quality. Relatively clean restrooms. Some paper was on the floor. Good service, is in need of update: repairs. I’d go back one more time to see if they’ve improved."
