I have to give a 4 star rating but this place is not filthy nor the food rotten. as a person who likes to write bad reviews to actual bad restaurants this is not a horrible place as they say. I have been going here for a while and love the food very much and the staff that works there. just because you do not like the food or the waiter may not be friendly does not give you the right to be rude and complain about such nonsense. what if the waiter was just having a bad day so you write a bad review about the food? that is childish and makes you look immature. maybe up your vocabulary and speak in a adult mannerism, you would probably get better served as well. I love you grand china and you are wonderful!
