Sometimes social media gets it right and sometimes social media misses the mark. To suggest a place is high top great only to experience it yourself is a bit off putting to say the least and when it comes to Golden Apple Buffet, social media missed it... So the place is in Snellville just past the Cookout next to the Texas Roadhouse. And let me be clear, this is a Chinese buffet so expect it to be as kitschy and stereotypical of your previous Chinese buffet experiences. The interior is well lit, booths are a bit crammed and the food stations are not as extensive for options. The service is literally non-existent. They bus your tables and are up to speed with refills which is basic service anyways. Now for the food. It's a buffet so it's not much to write home about. Seeing that it is a Chinese buffet, I decided to stay on the familiars. Pepper steak, lo mein, some crawfish, a baked pasta, and decided to try the pho So the Chinese options weren't that bad. The baked pasta was decent. Lo mein was flavorful. The teriyaki chicken was a bit off and the pho... well... the pho was a let down. The options were minimal. Four stations, with a noodle soup options, hibachi, and sushi tucked in the back. Can't say this buffet experience was all that it was hyped up to be. It was small, very minimal in terms of food options, lacked any sense of flavor for a buffet but the place was clean, well lit, and fast. At $20.99 for dinner plus tax and tip you're not paying much for AYCE but suffice to say, quality is subpar, options are much to be desired, and yet it's probably the best thing for AYCE Snellville has to offer and that's not saying a whole lot for Snellville read more

I have been to a lot of Chinese buffets but this one is the best to me. There are alot of great choices and the food is always hot. The restaurant always appears to be clean, very nice setting while you are eating. read more

Bright & clean vibe with modern marble & tile layout. The usual Panda-like food items and areas kept orderly. No sashimi or nigiri just Cali Roll variations and heavily sauced tuna rolls. Drinks besides water is extra. No softserve station but a self serve freezer of premade ice cream cups and bars. Any dessert brought out as you walk out will be an extra charge; must be consumed inside before leaving. Simple, laid back lunch spot for the area. read more

Let me see! You can get sushi, hibachi and/or pho made for you. Or you can pick from regular buffet. That's a win win in my book. The staff is very efficient at refilling drinks, cleaning off tables and keeping the buffet well stocked. The interior is very clean and I like all the different stations. Next time I'll try the pho and hibachi. read more

I came here on a Sunday evening with my family. The restaurant is located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking. It was a group of 7 of us and we were able to get seated within 5 minutes of getting inside. This buffet was very clean and bright compared to what I'm used to. The ambiance made me feel very comfortable. I loved the variety of food, especially the hibachi and pho area. Everything I tried was delicious and I ended up eating about three plates of food. I finished it off with the vanilla ice cream. I would love to come back again to try the foods I missed the first time around. read more

Golden Apple Buffet - Entrance to GOLDEN APPLE BUFFET. - Buffets Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

Located at 2059 Scenic Hwy N Snellville, GA Very very busy buffet restaurant even during the weekday. I advise you to arrive early. Health Score 85 = B on 4/3/2025 The buffer offers an array of options on a typical Asian buffet. They also offer a Hibachi Grill, Pho and Sushi Bar. My only issue was the food temperature, it was just warm but I wished it could have been hotter. The ambiance is super busy with customers coming and going. It was very crowded during lunch time. This restaurant is great for large groups. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about Golden Apple Buffet and seen a lot of positive reviews on social media about it, so I've been wanting to give it a try but its quite a drive from my house. We finally decided to check it out one night, and I honestly think it's just okay. I wasn't impressed by the food nor do I think it's worth the drive when there's so many other buffet options around. However, I will agree that the price is a great deal for a buffet and all the food they have to offer. Golden Apple has your typical Chinese buffet food items, plus a few more options, which I think is what has lured people in. The pho bar seems to be the main thing that people are so impressed about in comparison to other buffets. They also replenish the food pretty fast which I thought was impressive considering we came on a weekday night. It was also decently packed for a weekday night too, but there was plenty of seating so we did not have to wait for a table at all. They also cleaned dirty dishes off our table very quickly. In terms of food, they have several buffet lines in addition to a hibachi bar, pho bar, sushi bar, and an ice cream section. There were 4 different soups, lots of seafood options, plenty of desserts, and a fried food section that is probably popular for kids. Food didn't look dried out or anything, but like I said, still was just okay. Nothing too impressive. The sushi was also just mediocre. They definitely had more sushi options than I'm used to seeing at other buffets though. Honestly, if I lived in the area, for the price and the variety, I'd probably come here fairly option for a cheap meal with foods that I don't get to eat often. But for the drive, the food wasn't good enough for me to pass up the other buffets closer to me in favor of this one. read more

Finally had a chance to try this place since the hype of social media and let's just say it was kinda worth the wait. We came mid day on a Saturday for lunch and it was very crowded, surprisingly the wait time was only 20 mins even though it was crowded. We walking in got a number and waiting by the door till our number was called which i like how they kinda look for you so you don't miss your number being called that's a plus but maybe they should get the thingy that vibrates when it's your turn or give the option to text you when your table is ready . Anywho let's get into the decor this place was nice simple and cute the seats were nice they were orange on some parts of the place an marble looking tables and a nice wall decor that had those icon teddy bear thingy. The food was a good 8/10 everything was fresh and they constantly changed out the food quickly so it was like no running out of anything it was so many options just like any all you can eat buffet read more

I been wanting to come here and drove a long distance just to get here. This spot is right close to the end of the Ronald Reagan Pkwy inside the city limits of Snellville. Parking is very limited around the restaurant but there is plenty of parking from Texas Roadhouse and Kohl's parking lot. While walking in, the entrance is nicely decorated with robot statues. There is a ton of variety of foods which includes a sushi bar, pho bar, and hibachi. I really enjoyed the Pho, Dim Sum shrimp dumpling, Mussel, and Crawfish here. The crawfish was big and very fresh here. They also served blue crab here as well. The pork chops here were amazing! Just wow! The variety is amazing here and there is something for everybody. It was really nice to see all kinds of races here enjoying some great Chinese food. I will definitely be back and highly recommend everybody to come here. read more

This buffet focused on high quality food for an affordable price. I picked a weekday for lunch but got caught up in errands and popped in at the start of dinner. I heard about the lengthy wait times on the weekend, and now I see why. Expansive variety of hot and cold entrees. A cross section of cuisines, meats and seafood. 1st buffet I've seen with whole crab. I went crazy on the seafood selection of sushi, shrimp, scallops and mussels. They had too much to choose from. I saved the Pho and Hibachi for a future visit. The servers were attentive and kept the areas very clean. My daughter needed gloves for the crab and they pointed her in the right direction. They also had self serve ice cream but I stopped at the fresh cut fruit. Definitely returning. read more

Led here by posts on social media I decided to give it a try. I don't usually do Asian or buffet but I can admit when something is good. Sunday evening around 7o' clock we had to wait an hour for a table (at a buffet). The food was pretty good surprisingly. Great options too. Sushi, pho, hibachi, and Vietnamese are all available for you to enjoy. We tried the hibachi station twice, and then lots of different "American standard" Chinese dishes. General Tao's chicken, Mongolian beef, honey sesame chicken etc. etc. Pro tip: The bigger your party is the faster you may be seated! Enjoy read more

This is an enjoyable buffet. Parking is ok there are other surrounding businesses so that's why I say parking is ok depending on the crowd. Once we entered it very welcoming and very clean and bright. We were seated maybe 10-15 mins after our arrival. They have a great selection of food items on their buffet. I think the buffet is $20-$30 dollars per person. The food was hot and fresh. They also made sure to replenish when the food trays were getting empty. I would definitely say this buffet is in my top fav. We will be returning soon! Check out my vid and as always SYOY!!! read more

Golden Apple Buffet might just be my new favorite spot!! They have Pho, Chinese-American, and even Sushi items. Each food option is high quality, fresh, and extremely delicious. Not only that, the staff is super accommodating, friendly and honest. They will always help refill your drinks quickly, take away dirty plates the moment you're done with them, and even provide high-chairs if your child needs it. They also even help celebrate birthdays too! However, this buffet is a first-come-first-serve basis, and seating spaces may be a little cramped. If you're in the area, give this buffet a try! You WILL NOT be disappointed! read more

Golden Apple Buffet - Hibachi style shrimp and steak - Buffets Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

We have come out to try Golden Apple a couple times now and took some sushi-to-go for our son. The buffet was fresh and full each time. There were a lot of staff and the staff seemed friendly and didn't hover over us as we enjoyed our meal. Our son enjoyed the sushi, but commented that the ones I chose were mostly spicy- but still good. We didn't try the hibachi or Pho stations. It was extremely clean and the bathroom was also clean. The prices were typical and reasonable compared to other similar restaurants nearby. We plan on visiting again when we are in the area and bringing our whole family for an upcoming celebration. read more

Golden Apple Buffet - My sushi sampler (yummy) - Buffets Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

This buffet has a vast amount of options from sushi to hibachi to more Asian cuisine. The fact that the price is $13.99 for lunch is a steal for the amount of food. Dinner is only $18.99 but includes more options of seafood. The food is not amazing but it tastes good for a buffet for sure. Servers are attentive and sit you quickly. I would go back for a cheap and filling lunch...it's packed for lunch hour by the way as well. read more

The bathrooms and entire restaurant are very clean and the vibes are great. The food is good and there's a lot of choices too! The price was good as long as you plan on eating more than one plate (like at any buffet) and the service was excellent. read more

Buffets get a lot of hate because a lot Of times the quality of the food is subpar but Golden Apple was really good. They had a variety of options and I really enjoyed the all you can eat option with the sushi. for the price, I definitely see myself coming back. very family friendly! read more

I'm not a huge fan of buffets but the food looked good (based on social media) so decided to give this place a try. We arrived at 6:45 on Saturday night and the place was jammed packed. However, the hostess quoted us a 20 minute wait and it was surprisingly accurate. So do not leave if you see the crowd because they move pretty quickly. There was a lot of variety like most Chinese buffets but my favorite section was the pho section. They had a decent variety of meat and seafood and the pho broth was fantastic. It had really good flavor and the broth was clear and free of any impurities. I also liked that they had ice cream in a freezer so you can pick whatever you want. I saw the food be replenished pretty frequently and the service was attentive. The only thing I didn't like was some of the patrons were not practicing very clean habits. I saw an older gentleman put a blue crab from his plate back in the buffet section. The place gets pretty busy so I guess it's hard for the staff to monitor the buffet? All in all, this place lives up to the hype. Even though this place is an hour from my home, it's definitely worth a second visit. read more

I thought it was a good experience. The food options were great, noodles, fried rice, shrimp, fried chicken, Pho, Fruit, Crab and Popsicles!!! , boy I was in Heaven. They were very crowded and their checkin system is archaic. They should really invest into using the text system to inform you when your table is ready. Anyway for the price it's worth the wait. Check this place out! read more

Golden Apple Buffet - Rice - Buffets Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

This restaurant just opened and the line was out the door. I had seen a lot of workers, dumptrucks, vendors and everybody getting ready for the opening day. Me and the family decided to give them a try. Since it was a buffet, I wasn't sure what the price point would be. For 3 adults we spent about $70. Not including the tip. We did have to wait 45 minutes or so to be seated. They had numbers that they passed out and you would have to come back periodically to see if your number was up. If they do stay busy maybe they will invest in another alert system. I did not visit the restrooms but the establishment itself was clean. There were so many people inside and out it was hard to move around. There were many workers in the restaurant making sure the food kept coming out fresh. I did like to see them replenishing the food. The waitress didn't come around much because it was so crowded. When she did come she cleared the dishes and refreshed the drinks. There were many choices which was a good sign. The deserts I did not really care for . They have the usual cakes, cookies and ice creams. They also had fruits you could pick from as well. Most of the food was very good. The chicken for me could have used more seasoning but besides that all the food that I selected was good. Even the veggies were good. I will definitely be returning, but I think I will wait a little while until the newness wears off. When I do go back I will make sure I try the hibachi area and the sushi bar. Glad we have another choice for hibachi in Snellville. read more

Golden Apple Buffet in Snellville surprised me in the best way. The moment I walked in, the ambience hit that sweet spot between "casual family night out" and "let's treat ourselves a little." Warm lighting, roomy seating, and a calm vibe that makes you feel like you can actually enjoy your plate without being rushed. The selection? Excellent. All the popular favorites were there -- and not just thrown out as filler. Everything looked fresh, well-stocked, and actually tasted like someone cared. From the comfort-food staples to the fan-favorite entrées, there was always something worth going back for. And bonus points: the entire place was clean. Like noticeably clean. You can always judge a buffet by how the counters and floors look at peak hours, and Golden Apple passed the test with ease. Overall, a great spot if you want variety, good vibes, and a buffet that doesn't feel chaotic. I'd happily come back for round two (or three). read more

We need to make it back here, but we as of right now we still feel as if this is the best Asian buffet with sushi, hibachi, ramen

Food was very good. Can't beat the price for AYCE. Wide variety of choices. I thought the vegetables were very well seasoned. The hibachi was on point, with a wide selection. read more

So excited because never eat at buffet that has Pho in the menu. Food variations is a lots. From Sushi, Hibachi, Chinese, Pho, and of course some dessert. My favorite is Bale Mussel. I think the price is very affordable for lunch only $13.99. The taste is okay. Not incredibly delicious. I ate a lots because I gotta try almost everything. The service is great. The server is nice and fast respond. The indoor ambiance is very pleasant and enough of lights. Meaning bright but cool. I will return again and bring my kids. Because they will love itX read more

You will definitely get your moneys worth here! From crab, to pho, to crawfish, to hibachi and everything in between! Everyone will find something they love here. The food isn't CRAZY quality but for $20?? Worth it! They do get super busy at night so get ready to wait. I'm knocking one star off for obvious basic buffet health violations (people touching new plates/utensils, mixed up tongs for almost everything, hair in food) read more

This is the perfect spot if you're looking for good seafood on a budget! The weekday lunch is only $13.99, and you get AYCE sushi, hibachi, and pho--totally worth it. I went for dinner on a weekday, which was $18.99, and there was even more seafood, including crawfish and blue crab. On weekends, it's $19.99 for both lunch and dinner, and they throw in snow crab, which was a nice touch. Kids' meals start at $6.99, so it's affordable for families too. Definitely a great find if you love variety and want a solid buffet experience! read more
