    Today, a friend and I tried the famous Gohan Buffet after seeing it all over TikTok. The last buffet I'd visited was Wicked Spoon in Vegas, so I was curious. The place looks modern with digital screens and sleek décor, and the selection is huge--everything from fried rice and sesame chicken to prime rib, crab legs, sushi, and even pizza. But they had a lot of odd pairing gaps--prime rib with no mashed potatoes, fried chicken but no beans. They had a ton of variety, but honestly, they need to work on the pairings. It's still wild to me they had one random tray of pizza in the oddest spot. That's kind of my thing with these places--they highlight popular dishes in a flashy way, but they miss the classic combinations. The ambiance and music were great, but they need to nail those cultural pairings. I'd give it a 7/10. The prime rib was great, but the crab legs and lobster weren't fresh, so I'd be cautious. The basics--chicken, ribs, prime rib--were solid, but nothing really stood out to bring me back. For $93 before tip at lunch, I thought it was steep. I only had two rounds of food and repeated the same items, so I questioned if it was worth it. Would I go again? Probably not on my own. But if a group wanted to go, I'd tag along. In the end, it's what you'd expect from a buffet--just at a higher price.

    Alright, this is my second time coming here and this is what I notice. The ambiance is on point! The interior is very nice, very elegant and functional for the average person. Service was great! My waiter was very friendly, polite and attentive. The food is top notch! Fresh cut fruit (I'm actually watching the ladies cut fruit). Same thing with the sushi, I watch them make sushi and set it out. There was more! Overall, all I'm saying is this place is great! Tons of food option and much of the items were made fresh.

    Decent options for lunch. Dessert choices are lacking. Enjoyed the sushi and Sichuan options the best. Good to try once but not sure if we liked it enough to want to come back again.

    Massive buffet with AYCE food, dessert, seafood, AND bottled drinks? Yes please. Gohan is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. It is a heaping buffet with top tier foods ranging from fried fish, chicken, shrimp, lobster to grilled lamb chops, short ribs, pork belly, dim sum, soups, sushi, rice, noodles, raw shellfish & more. Unlimited crab legs to boot! When you arrive, the lobby is spacious and upscale looking. The hostess greeted us, showed us to our table, and took our drink orders. The Asian teas (Milk Tea, Thai Tea, etc.) are included in the buffet. The ambiance is big screens, bright lights, Asian decor, Asian music (K-Pop) and it's busy. Combined with the food spread, it feels like a Las Vegas Buffet and a K-pop video had a baby. It was overstimulating but worth it. For all the elaborate displays though, I do feel that the food was a bit underwhelming. The crab legs were small, the salad section was limited, and much of the meat was overcooked. If someone invites me here I will return, but over all, this restaurant is far from me and the food was not life-changing.

    I had high expectations for this over hyped buffet. Enter the building and checking at the desk for a table was a big lobby. The interior high class looking buffet. Getting a table and sitting down I would have expected a drink offer when dining. I had to wave our lady down for a cup of ice and water. No one had drinks. Arrived for dinner hour 4:00 pm and the food I had was not fresh. The sushi options were a big selection but weary about the freshness. Seafood selection was basic probably the main thing to eat here if that's all you're into. For $45 before taxes and tip. I had high expectations for better service and more food option.

    Nice venue, but I wasn't overly impressed with the taste of the food I selected. They are countless options, maybe there is a something for you..The service was great .our server met all of our needs.

    I Am Full.. The food was great and such a variety of things to choose from.. I love that everything was fresh. The price per person is definitely worth it.

    Came here with my mother and we both agreed it was our favorite place we visited when she was in town! We ate until we were physically in pain . I'm happy to report the selection you get here is worth the price and yes, the crab legs play a huge factor into that. There were all types of Asian options to choose from--several regional Chinese food options, sushi, Korean style short ribs, Thai tea and other boba teas, sushi. Pretty much had all their bases covered. We'll definitely be back!

    This place is a must do when in Atlanta! I live here and felt like a kid in a candy store. This is a mega buffet with top tier foods ranging from fried fish, chicken, shrimp, lobster to grilled lamb chops, short ribs, pork belly, dim sum, soups, sushi, rice, noodles, raw shellfish & more. Don't forget the crab legs! When you arrive it feels like a hotel or casino lobby - the hostess counter greets you and asks how many. They escort you to a table. Then the server takes over to ask for your drink order. Only tea and soda is served - no beer or alcoholic beverages. The Asian teas (Milk Tea, Thai Tea, etc.) are included in the buffet. The ambiance is big screens, bright lights, Asian decor, Asian music (K-Pop) and it's busy. I went on a holiday Monday - President's Day for lunch but they got us - it was dinner prices! Oh well - still worth the trip. Pro Tips: Go easy on each plate to avoid waste. Try something different. Top it off with dessert. Check online for prices during holidays - lunch is usually the better option for your budget. Bottled drinks are included but a fee if you take it to go. I'll definitely return with my family or for a celebration.

    Ugh, I hate to have to write this. We've been here four times in the last several months; each time was on the weekend between noon and 4pm. We never had to wait more than a few minutes, and the food was fresh, the staff was friendly, and it was easy to maneuver around. This last visit, however, was the complete opposite. We were told the wait would be 30 minutes (it was closer to 45). A lot of the items hadn't been replenished, so the food was either dried out or cold, and the staff seemed so overwhelmed they hardly had time to speak to their customers. The worst part is by the time I got back to our table with butter for the crab, it had completely separated (oil on top, water on the bottom. See pic). When I asked the manager about it, he said they put too much water in it. So of course I had to confirm, "You put water in the butter?" He replied, "Yes, but they put too much." For nearly $45 a person, and the amount of business this place gets, it was beyond disappointing to learn that they're cutting corners like this. I'm not saying not to go because 3/4 of our visits were great. I'm saying avoid going during dinner time on the weekend. You will definitely be disappointed.

    Not sure what to make of this but in the middle of the lobby.

    Duluth's newest & largest Asian buffet. Gaudy interior ~ new, spacious, almost Vegas-like. Seating is plenty; the trade off is it is a walk and a half to the food or restrooms. Menu selection ~ fresh good. Plenty of seafood. Self serve drinks are bottled; creates a lot of plastic waste. Desserts are better than most. Service was so polite, smiley, and swung by frequently. Excellent. Great for large groups but prepare for $$$.

    Overall Gohan Buffet was way better than the other buffet we tried (E Gyu) in multiple ways. Price was about the same for a weekend adult, around $44, but the food quality and overall experience felt like a much better deal here. Selection and Cuisine The selection is wide with a lot of variety, but the core identity is clearly Chinese or Hong Kong style. If you come expecting a Korean buffet, don't. This should be marketed more strongly as a Chinese buffet, because the Korean items were... rough. Best highlights Sashimi corner (the real MVP) This was the reason the visit felt worth it. For a buffet, the sashimi quality was pretty decent. They had: * White tuna * Salmon * Octopus * Mackerel * Oyster If you're a seafood person, this is the corner to optimize. Lobster and crab corner My second favorite area. They had lobster and snow crab (served by a staff member). It felt a bit more premium than the typical buffet experience. Other stations * Soup corner: several Chinese soups (felt like 4 to 5 options) * Dim sum corner: dumplings and buns * Fried foods corner: Panda Express style meats and veggies with sweet sauces * Coconut shrimp: tasty when you can grab pieces that aren't drenched in soggy sauce Drinks and dessert Dessert was fine, but not the highlight. The boba style drinks (without boba) tasted a bit powdery and too sweet, so I wouldn't recommend those. On the other hand, the jasmine tea was nice. Fruit I appreciated that they had strawberries, though you do have to hunt a bit to find the fresher ones in the pile. Korean food warning Avoid the Korean items. Even the kimchi tasted off. This is not the place to judge Korean food, and I really hope people don't walk in thinking it's a Korean buffet. Atmosphere and service The front lobby was nicely decorated with a Christmas tree, and the space felt clean and not overly chaotic. Service was excellent: multiple servers were actively clearing plates and keeping the table from turning into a disaster zone. Price and value At about $43 to $44 per person, it's solid value if you focus on what they do best: sashimi, seafood, soup, and lighter sides. If you optimize your plate strategy, it's a strong deal. Would I return? Maybe. If I'm back in Georgia and want seafood and sashimi in a buffet format, I'd consider it. I might also choose to explore something new just for variety, but I strongly recommend Gohan Buffet if you haven't tried it yet, especially if seafood is your priority.

    Some sushi offerings

    I've seen and heard good things about Gohan, but considering the price, have held off until now because it's hard for me to make a buffet or AYCE "worth it" when there's always so much other options to try around. However, it's also an easy choice for those with big parties since there's usually a large variety, and yeah, they have a big selection. I'm sure it's no surprise that opting for lunch means you won't get snow crab or lobster unless you come on the weekend when it's dinner all day. At least they have unlimited drinks either way, and they offer more drinks than expected! The same fountain drink beverages as everywhere else, bubble tea (sweet), and then drinks you would normally find in an Asian grocery store. They will charge you $3, I believe, if you take a drink out, so drink it all there. Gohan seems more focused on Asian fares, but you can still find pizza, fries, and the like just as you would in any other buffet. The quality is about the same for those too, at least in terms of looks, since I didn't actually eat any of it. Much like everyone else, I went for the crab legs and lobster. Make sure you grab a pair of plastic gloves to handle the crab bc it can get messy. You do not use the tongs yourself to get your portion, they have staff to oversee that. They do give a good amount, so don't fret about them skimping out. Even if they did, you could always get more later. Now, I liked the lobster, it had good flavor that I would find in Chinese establishments, but the crab... some were saltier than others, so I guess it depends on the batch. You could make the joke that it was "fresh from the ocean" with how salty some crab legs were. They also had sushi, which I found to be not bad, but not great. Some pieces have definitely sat longer than others, and they do not put out more for nigiri until it seems all of it is eaten, but they kept the rolls coming regardless. I wish I had the capacity to try everything, but there really is a lot here. I liked that the waitstaff took finished plates away promptly, so I didn't have to be surrounded by my mess and reminded of how much I had already ate. I had a good time, and it really is a good pick for large parties because they have private rooms.

The entrance is very neat and it was very nice to be welcomed and seated as soon as we walked in.

The variety of sushi was splendid, they gave nigiri sushi along with cooked sushi. The wings were yummy as well as their shrimp crab boil. I wish I would've gotten a picture of the crab boil but it was legit with the little crabs and corn - I think the only thing missing was the potatoes.

What really surprised me was not only did they have a hibachi station but they also had a pho/noodle bar station too. You pick the ingredients you want - vegetables, protein, noodles, toppings, etc. and then you bring it (to the hibachi person!) and you tell them which broth you want. They drop the ingredients in a broth to cook them and then put all the stuff into the broth of your choice. I actually thought the pho I got was not bad. The broth was surprisingly decent with a good amount of flavor, and I would have definitely considered getting this at a regular restaurant too. I thought the rest of the food was also not bad, rather standard Asian buffets offerings like Americanized Chinese food (orange chicken), fried rice, lo mein, etc. They also had a lot of desserts like jello, cheesecake, and there is a separate cooler for some ice cream cups. The ice cream was very strange, a bit milky and didn't really melt after awhile which was a bit concerning...
