Champion Grill Buffet in Merced

Havent been here for a long time when it was still habachi grills. Its still pretty good. Love the pork buns. Sushi is better than most buffet. They got crepe and cotton candy too.10/19/23 went there for lunch. Oh man, while fast food price is getting higher, this place is still the best bang for the buck. 2 kids 1 adults and only like $34 with one share soda drink. Nothing wrong with sharing one cup haha.

Champion Grill for me has always been the best Chinese food in Merced County. They offer so much. Even salad that I dont eat because I can eat salad at home. If Im going to a Chinese restaurant Im going to eat Chinese food not American food LOL. Most all their food is really great. This has been for years that I have loved it. They have a grill that you choose your food to have grilled. The orange chicken has been unedible for more than a year. It tastes like they do not rehydrate it correctly. Its like eating dried meat that was frozen. Like jerky. Horrible. Everything else is usually good.Update 8/14/23 five of us went there and there seemed to be so much oil or Grease in everything that we all were sickened by it. None of us ate very much of it. It was horrible that day. I dont know if they had a different cook or what? Somebody needs to get to the bottom of this. This has been my favorite place but this day was a horrible experience with all the food we ate. Even the crab was not creamy it had oil on it instead. Horrible. Somebody went crazy with the oil. Please fix this and respond to me we will not be back until then. And fix that orange chickenUpdate 11/8/23 I went with my brother to get some food he wanted to go here and we got take out. Still the orange chicken is not edible. I submitted a video. But all the meats were kind of dry and hard. But I never get a response so Im guessing champion officials will not even read this. I guess Im going to make panda my new favorite

If you already know what you like from here then the to go box is the best option. I love having the salt and pepper shrimp, its my favorite in town. Their wings hit the spot, and the sushi is nice too, along with their baked fish. They also have some options for picky eaters like pizza, fries, and nuggets.This place is very mid to low tier Chinese food, avoid their noodles and rice as theyre very bland. Their orange chicken and spicy pork are usually extremely chewy, and sometimes the chicken on a stick is so chewy that its like jerky.They have SOME good food items but its not worth the price, just buy a box to go so you only pay for what you enjoy.

Ive been here a few times. Dined in once and did take out twice but this will be my last time due to poor customer service!I was waiting to pay for my takeout and an elderly couple was right infront of me, taking longer than usual. That is fine, but the front lady and owner/manager both saw me waiting for a while and ignored me. They helped another person who purposely cut infront of me! That is what i get for being polite and giving space to the couple infront of me! So make sure to push everyone out the way when youre paying since theyre incapable of keeping track of a short line!The food is decent with a wide varietyof selections. Some things are overcooked and under stocked. I do like the Mongolian BBQ the most.

The food was fresh, hot, so much verity. You cant go wrong here. $40.00 to feed 2 adults. Will cost you that much anywhere, but youll only get one Plate, anywhere else.

The worst pizza I’ve ever had in all my years of living. There was barley any cheese, it was just sauce on bread

Like many buffets at this price point much of the food is of low quality. 4 stars is for value. If you come at 3 you will pay lunch price and still enjoy most of the dinner optio ns. Many seafood options. Recomend the clams. Avoid mussels and crawfish imo. Must try: Bbq ribs, pork buns, sushi. Dining room is nice. Bathrooms need attention but acceptable. Friendly hostess.

To be honest this place is great. When I came ice machine was broken but it’s fixed now. Great sushi! The chicken did feel kinda hard but somehow it was good.

This place is awesome, family oriented, food is bomb ! Normally no wait time and all you can eat ! Cant beat that . And the kids absolutely love it !

Overpriced, but the food was a bit overcooked on some of the trays. Hardly any contact with any of the staff. I gave it a 1 star on service because they only charge you and tell you to sit wherever. I dont think thats enough for a service review.
