Hankering for some great, cheap, chinese for lunch? Sick of Panda? Try Great China in Orem! Me and Chris were recommended this place by his brother for dinner. But we went for lunch and we were surprised to find that it was an all-you-can-eat buffet for only $5! We always order our favorite Dr. Pepper and the bill ends up at about $12 for the two of us. Awesome!
As far as we can tell the waiter, (for your drinks and seating) is the owner and his family helps run the place. They are very quick with your drinks and are constantly reloading the buffet with hot food. The decor is simple but you feel like you're in a small cafe in Beijing. The bathrooms might need some help, but it is worth it for the de-lish food! There isn't a whole lot to choose from, but it's your basic chinese favorites: Beef and Broccli, Beijing Beef and Pork, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Lemon Chicken(with my favorite lemon sauce for dipping), Kung Pao Chicken and Pork and a few more. So yummy!! You can also go for dinner and order an entree for an average of $6.95 (Urbanspoon.com) a plate. Still affordable! Located by The Outback and Artic Cricle in Orem off of University Parkway.
One of my favorite things to have after chinese food is frozen yogurt. And lo and behold, Hello Yogurt is right next door to Great China! They have a great selection of different flavored yogurts and a fresh selection of toppings. And you can get as much or as little as you want for .35cents an ounce! Check out thier website for a list of their menu www.helloyogurt.com we first experienced this place on a progressive dinner with my bro and sis-in-law. There was a very energetic asian woman that helped us and the environment is fun and bubbly! I don't know how else to explain it! Bright colors, funky furniture, tv! Check it out!
