A new all-you-can-eat option has landed off Pelham Road in Greenville. Grand Asian Buffet has opened at 102 E. Beacon Drive, taking over the space that once housed Joe's Crab Shack, and it's already serving up a sprawling spread of Chinese and Asian-inspired dishes.
The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat selection that spans sushi, hibachi, wok-cooked specialties, seafood and traditional favorites, according to Greenville News. Diners build their own plates from a rotating lineup of entrees, appetizers and sides rather than ordering off a set menu, giving regulars a reason to come back and try something different each visit.
What's on the Buffet Line
Grand Asian Buffet's own website describes the spread as featuring popular favorites including sushi, hibachi, wok dishes, seafood, hot entrées, fresh salads and desserts, per Grand Asian Buffet. The sushi is billed as freshly prepared, while the hibachi selections are described on the same site as sizzling — the kind of tableside-style cooking that's become a signature draw for buffet-style restaurants in the region.
The restaurant is located at 102 East Beacon Drive, Greenville, South Carolina 29615, per its website. That address puts it squarely in the same footprint as the former Joe's Crab Shack, a building that had sat empty since that seafood chain's departure before Grand Asian Buffet moved in.
Hours of Operation
According to the same report, Grand Asian Buffet is open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, with one exception: the restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. On Fridays and Saturdays, hours stretch later, with the buffet open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
For diners curious about how any Greenville-area restaurant stacks up on health and safety, South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control maintains a public inspection database. The SC Food Grades tool provides risk-based inspection scores for facilities permitted under state regulation, covering everything from restaurants and delis to grocery stores and seafood businesses.
