Fujian Grand China Buffet

Trying further to scout out a good candidate for Christmas Day chinese buffet we tried this place.  When you first walk in it is beautiful, everything looks shiny and nice.  Then a rude lady takes your money (extra rude if you order water), then you sit down and more rude ladies come up and demand your receipt.  Who goes to chinese restaurants for the service though right?  So usually we inspect the buffet before we buy but we could see from the counter there were 8 tables of food so we thought we would be fine.. not so much.  There was NO TOFU.. at all.  There was lo mein that tasted like dough (overcooked?), we are picky about the lo mein.  The fried rice was good, the white rice was excellent, there were a ton of weird desserts and salads.  There was also an entire table of just fruit, but that is not why we come here.  There was a weird cheesy mayonnaise broccoli dish and questionable stuffed mushrooms, neither were good.  After trying anything that might be vegetarian we were very displeased, we spent $10 to snack on gross stuff.  Then our last thing to try was the little mongolian grill style food in the corner.  Why were we not eating it the whole time???  It was awesome, the guy didn't speak much english but when he finally understood that we did not want our food cooked with the meat from the guy behind us he respected it and cooked it on a clean grill.. all alone.  It was so good it may have been worth $10 if we were eating it the whole time.. so good we might even go back!
