Gorham Dynasty Buffet

Had a stop here with friends this past Friday while on a road trip leaving Maine. Having been to Gorham a few times before but not having been here since 2010, I discovered the Gorham Dynasty Buffet while driving through town — not recalling it from the past visits. Craving a good Chinese Buffet, a stop was mandatory and thusly ensued. The price was about average to what I would expect for a buffet. Food selection was modest compared to most others of its ilk I have dined at in larger metro areas but everything was tasty and service was prompt. The winning prospect as far as I am concerned was their offering of Peanut Chicken, a dish that seems to be rare in the myriad of buffets I’ve ate at. Outstanding.

Super good food at a great price. I have been to many Chinese buffets but Gorham Dynasty is by far one of the best. Dumplings are homemade and rival the best Places in china town in Boston. wife and I fasted for $ 25 total. Wish I lived Closer!

Tried it again this fall. Same comments about the food — good quality and variety. We went on a Sunday and cost goes up $ 2 to $ 8.50 but I didn’t notice any different items. So go on a workday.
Still really good value. Three different soups! Yum!

After a day of thru-​hiking I am all about this place.
Vegetarian friendly enough and oh the price — $ 6.50 lunch.
All you can eat ice cream as well, yes please.
Only real downer was being here right before the dinner switch and the lack of refills on dishes, alas — we were still epically full.

As far as Chinese buffets go, this one is pretty good (especially for being up in the north country). I have been a few times and the food has always been hot and fresh with a decent selection of dishes. Don’t expect fancy, but it is a good deal. The restaurant could use some sprucing up, but it is clean and the staff is friendly.

This is a great place, especially for the food challenged great north woods. It’s super clean, the food is fresh and very good, and the people working there are outstanding.
The buffet selection is on the small side — but the food is way above average for Chinese food. I’m big on buffets because you control what you get, and it’s a super fast and easy way to eat. And I have a new twist on it that is even better — «to go» by weight.
I’ve been there several times when it was within 15 minutes of closing. Each time, a younger employee approached me at the buffet table and asked «can we cook you anything else?» The place is empty, I’m sure they’re dying to get out of there, yet they are offering to make a fresh batch of something to keep me happy? Wow! Of course, I declined both times as there was still plenty to choose from.
Back to «to go». You’re in hurry, and need a bargain meal. The prices here are low to begin with. You grab a «to go» container by the door and head for the buffet. My last experience — I start with some fresh steamed broccoli florets (4 big ones), and then go the the General’s chicken. I take the big spoon and lather General’s sauce over the broccoli and put some in another section for dipping the fried dumplings into (or anything else!). I skip the General’s chicken because at most places, it’s too chewing and pasty — but the sauce is perfect. I get some grilled onions and peppers (with out the beef) for more veggies. I get 4 fried dumplings (which dip nicely into the General’s sauce), the some fresh garlic string beans, fired shrimp, a couple of chicken fingers, and some pork strips (some of the tastiest, tender ones I’ve ever had!).
I head to the cashier, a very pleasant and helpful teenage girl named Dawn, to weigh my meal. It comes to $ 5.61 with tax. Hello, Anybody home?
It’s usually just over or under $ 5 when I get it to go by weight — a fantastic deal! Do not even consider going down the street to McDonald’s — it is the slowest, worst run McDonald’s I have ever seen anywhere, and I like McDonald’s sometimes for some things.
In conclusion, Gorham Dynasty Buffet is a real find in the North Woods. With the «New» Berlin starting to blossom, and more people arriving to cash in on the coming boom, this place is poised to do very well. The food is exceptional, and the people are working there are wonderful. All the makings for a truly «happy meal»!
