Stepping into La Grande International Buffet & Grill feels like opening a passport to global flavor—every station is a destination. I kicked off my culinary adventure with the appetizers, where golden chicken nuggets and juicy chicken wings made for the perfect bite-sized intro. Then came the seafood section, which absolutely stole the show. The spicy shrimps served over white rice delivered a bold kick, while the crispy fried shrimp and fish offered that satisfying crunch seafood lovers dream of.
Craving something hearty, I dove into the grill station, and the steak hot off the grill did not disappoint—tender, smoky, and full of character. Over in the Japanese corner, I was treated to classics like California rolls, perfectly crunchy shrimp tempura, and spicy seafood picks like crab and tilapia that brought both heat and freshness.
For pasta fans, this place is heaven. The creamy fettuccine alfredo with shrimps was rich without being heavy, the baked ziti cheesy and comforting, and the stuffed shells were pockets of perfection. I paired it with sides like fried rice, white rice, and a surprise favorite—maduros, those sweet fried plantains that balance savory dishes beautifully.
The Chinese station rounded things out with orange chicken, chicken broccoli, and soft, slurpable lo mein—each dish flavorful and familiar. Whether you’re after crispy, creamy, spicy, or sweet, the menu has a bit of everything, including roasted chicken and a comforting bowl of chicken soup to warm the soul.
Wash it all down with a classic Coke or ginger ale, and you've got yourself a full-on feast. La Grande isn’t just a buffet—it’s a delicious tour of world cuisines that invites you to explore, plate after plate.
