Great China Buffet: Not Different, but Really Good.

Great China Buffet,  in the strip mall (sigh) on the northeast corner of Madison & Hanna, is not to be confused with Fun China Buffet, or Great Wall Buffet, or China Buffet.  If there is anything individual about Great China Buffet, it was that is is the neatest, cleanest Chinese buffet I've ever been in, with the nicest proprietor I've ever met-- I wander around buffets like an Alzheimer's patient in Grand Central Station until I finally cover every bar, so I can choose only what I want from their humongous cornucopias of goodness, and he twice asked me very nicely if he could help me find something, and since no cops or ambulances arrived to take me back to the home I can only assume he was really trying to be helpful. Almost all of the dishes offered were the standard Chinese fare (with one exception- they had roasted chicken thighs that had been cooked bone-in and then sliced, bone-in. They were very good if you're not squeamish about exposed bone marrow-- the meat charred a little on the outside and tender inside.), but all the dishes I sampled were well-prepared and tasty.  This place and Tokyo Buffet (see previous post) are now my go-to Asian buffets.
