Was my go to place for Chinese food but I had one friend and saw another reviewer complain about upset stomachs eating here. I, too, was suffering from an upset stomach for almost a week after eating from here. Not sure if its the change in chefs or trying to cut corners, but I am definitely not coming back.

The buffet offers a variety of choices. From traditional favorite plus sushi rolls. My go-to starter is egg drop soup. I find the soup here consistent and tasty. I prefer their lo-mein over the fried rice. Wait staff is good at clearing the table of dirty plates and providing drink refills. Its apparent that its an older restaurant but remains clean. Good for a quick meal.

When I got here, I thought this would be a great place to eat.the food was ok. But there was only one lady server and that sucked.. I spent $88.64 for the total of 5 people and a 3.99 for a baby. Charging a 2yr old baby that only ate noodles..Really!! Well I thought this would be a great place to eat. But the price is way to high.. I hope y all stay in business with them high prices..

Very disappointed, server told my daughter in law that kids under 8yrs of age ate free. We were very surprise but when we paid, they charge for my granddaughter 2yrs of age and my grandson 4 years of age an adult price. I could understand my grandson but my granddaughter did not even eat!!! Owner cashier female very rude and did not want to let my daughter in law explain. Just money hungry! Bu hao!!!

The food does not feel authentic, it lack freshness and flavor. Additionally, there are very few options to choose from. For the price, you dont get the experience youre hoping for. Instead, youll feel claustrophobic with the bad table placement and feel depressed by the smell of food that hasnt been changed out frequently. Note that flies have been seen multiple times in the establishment. This is due to the headache that is the front doors, two sets at a 90 angle, which makes it difficult to enter or leave the store when multiple customers are trying to do so as well. Final note, this place could use a lot of work, so for a cheaper price point, this business could do a lot better.

Ive been coming here almost every month for the past year and the staff remain as polite and professional as always. The food is as good as it gets - I always arrive as soon as the doors open at 1100 - hot and delicious! I continue to see the same sign requesting kitchen help. I have applied and have learned that Golden China needs a cook. Yes, this is free advertisement for them, but they have deserved it. 10/10 (or 5/5) would recommend this diner for either a professional power lunch or a relaxed evening meal. Thank you, staff!

I used 2 LIKE this PLACE (PAST TENSE)...but SINCE a yr. ago UNTIL PRESENT, the CUS. SERVICE EXPERIENCE has been going from BAD 2 WORSE!!! Ive SEEN the OWNER bring OTHER CUSTOMERS food COOKED a (CERTAIN WAY, 2 keep them SATISFIED) 2 their TABLES (IVE seeing it MULTIPLE TIMES). So when it was MY TURN, he said WOULDNT DO IT 4 ME...I was LIKE . I TOLD him how MANY TIMES he has DONE IT 4 other CUSTOMERS & he had the GUTS 2 LIE on my FACE, that it WASNT TRUE this & THAT. PLUS this LAST TIME I VISITED, it MADE me VERY SICK (I LITERALLY PUKED ) & NEVER been SICK B4. That is the LAST TIME Ill EVER VISIT this PLACE.

It was 1st time coming to this place. I ended up paying $13.95 with a soft drink. Not too bad of a price. My only complaint is the food seemed too salty and not many selections. Overall the food is okay. Nothing that specifically stood out as really good or great. Just average. I think for the price point I rather just drive to another buffet that has a lot more options and isnt as salty. Ill try this place again in the future because I dont like giving an opinion based solely off one experience. Hopefully the food will taste better next time. For now Ill leave 3/5 on the food alone.

Only 1 good dish, in my opinion. Maduros were bad. There was a bug (unknown type) in the egg drop soup. Crab ragoons were not great, mostly cremacheese. Coffee cake was decent. Almost all the deserts had sesame seeds on them ( including the rice crispy treats ). Plus, the price on weekends is dinner only at 12.99, and it has not been an updated price shown in years.

23 years of trying and visiting various Chinese buffets, I can say without a doubt that people do not know what they are eating, the food here is of very low quality, in short, it is not worth the price they are charging, I will not return and I do not recommend this place if you are Chinese menu connoisseur

Sorry thought this place was going to be good with the amount of people there were inside but NO! Food was cold, the chicken was tough and the sweet sauce had a nasty taste. The only thing I liked was my half n half and he egg drop soup which was delicious. I got sick an hours after so I am blaming this restaurant. Not going again....

The emphasis here is quantity, not quality. Lots to eat, but nothing really memorable and not much flavor. Three of us ate 7-6-2023: food was bland and not at proper temperature (lukewarm), General Tsos was mostly breading (very tough / hard) with very little chicken. Sweet & sour sauce had an off taste. Sushi had tiny portion of mystery fish. Noodles were overly moist and fishy tasting. Jalapeno chicken had no flavor to it. We wont be back. Skip this place - other local Asian places do much better.

Small little Chinese buffet restaurant, beef was tender, and not chewy like most places. Crawfish they had were warm and kept bringing out fresh ones, I dont quite enjoy crawfish from Chinese restaurants but I thought I give them a try, their spice level was good, just little overcooked. I will definitely be going back their again

AYCE traditional Asian with Sushi!! Not the high quality, expensive sushi, but it is well made. Everything had good flavors. The staff excels and works hard and fast. You can tell they are trying to have a good customer experience. I ate here a dozen times over a year. When I treat myself to AYCE Asian, this is my first thought. Vegetarian options: Many good, cooked vegetables and salads AYCE. Parking: Spaces available in front of restaurant. Strip Mall. Kid-friendliness: Pizza, chicken nuggets, and ICE CREAM!! Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, lots of space and staff helps you. They are everywhere and make sure you have everything. My Dr. Pepper was always full!!
