My family and I have eaten here twice. The inside of the restaurant is just okay in terms of the buffet table layouts. The price for the selection wasn't the best considering other options in the area. If there were not other options to compare to maybe it would rank higher. Average buffet. Food is edible. Service was adequate for a buffet but nothing to write home about. May try it again but I would also be okay with not trying it again. Only factor is that this is the closest Chinese buffet to my house. We live less than a mile away. I would rather drive the distance to others that have greater selection and better service. 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

Food was very fresh. Restaurant is clean and the service was quick and servers were nice. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

So apparently this place is getting hyped up on social media. After a visit there, I'm convinced some of those people were paid to review this place. It's about as mediocre as you can be when it comes to Asian buffets. Yes there is a big variety, but only a couple items stood out. The rest was average or below. Definitely not worth the high price compared to other buffets in the area. It's also funny that they try to justify such a high dinner price after adding such bland items to the buffet. Frozen, out of season crawfish? Oh boy! What really turned me off was biting into undercooked, gummy salmon. It's hard to recover from that. There are better buffets in the area, and for more reasonable prices. Hype isn't always real. read more

Finally had the opportunity to visit this location with my husband on a Monday evening. The customer service was excellent and the ambiance was great. My husband's loved all of the seafood options with the exception of the crab. In his opinion not worth the work (meatless). We both enjoyed all of the vegetables options, chicken, and steak dishes. We plan to visit the establishment again soon with our grandchildren. read more

Amazing service very clean new restaurant in Snellville. I heard about it from my cousin who said she saw it on TikTok and it was everything she showed me and told about I almost went again today after going for the first time yesterday definitely going again this week, anyone that's passing through or living in the area, good food I typically take pictures, but it was so good. I couldn't even pull out my phone for the trip. read more

me and my friend got food poisoning during lunch, after we left and I was driving I felt sick. I was getting lightheaded and I threw up everywhere afterwards. DONT EAT HERE !! read more

This is worth the drive! We were greeted by friendly hostess and the wait time is 20 minutes. It is a very popular place, the place was packed at 7:30pm on a Monday. The food was delicious and fresh. I had the whole crab, crawfish, clams, sushi, pho and small square cakes. The baked corn was overly sweet, like they spilled sugar on it. So disappointed cuz I love corns. I didn't have enough room in my stomach to try everything but overall was amazing. The sever kept my soda filled and dirty plates are pick up. Service was great. The restaurant itself was nice, bright and clean. We will come back again for sure. read more

Golden Apple Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

This place is awesome! Kinda overwhelming when you first walk in. I would suggest after you get seated to walk around ALL the food stations before selecting ! Why because your eyes will be waaayy bigger then your tummy! This place just opened within the last 2/3 months so it definitely has the new, Super clean, bright, look. My wish is that 1 or 2 or 5 years from now it is still the same! So many options to choose from for the price of $13.99 (didn't get the $1 senior discount bc I didn't ask I guess?) for lunch, which is until 3:00 pm. Dinner is $18.99 and weekends all day $19.99. It had it all or at least all we were looking for and much more. I wanted pho it has a pho bar, if your pho isn't good then blame yourself! You pick out what YOU want from the extremely fresh selections give to the person to drop into a basket that cooks it, then he takes it over to get the broth and I think there's 2 vegan and non vegan which was streaming hot and flavorful, then YOU add your fixings and sauces. My shrimp pho was slamming. I also went to the sushi bar and chose 7 pieces the spicy crab and shrimp tempura being my favs. My friend tried neither of those and we didn't try the hibachi station even though again if yours sucks it's on you lol. He tried all the Chinese beef selections with fried rice on his first plate along with about 7 peel n eat shrimp that he said were delicious but he wouldn't get them again bc of the work involved and he wanted to get to eating . He peeled and ate all of them first then in to the Mongolian beef, beef n broccoli, beef on a stick, and another beef dish which he loved them all! His 2nd plate was the Chinese chicken dishes and panko shrimp, all were great, he said. On his 3rd plate though I knew his favorites which were Mongolian beef, panko shrimp, and that other beef dish. He tried the coffee cake, cream puff, and a sugar cookie and to be honest he wasn't a fan of anything in the plate. His reason was nothing was as sweet as he wanted . I think it was bc he was too full! I tried the panko shrimp EXCELLENT, the salt n pepper shrimp and it was too much work to peel plus kinda over cooked IMHO. The baked scallops were absolutely DELICIOUS again IMHO not an actual scallop but like chopped up with other ingredients then piled on a shell and baked whatever so so good! So was the baked crab meat (yes it was imitation crab also it was lunch and 13.99!). Our server kept the dishes picked up and our water glasses filled. Next time definitely trying the hibachi. read more

The food was great, but the waiter and waitress always act like they're entitled to a tip. Every time I go, they say things like "leave a tip" or "no tip?" even when I do leave one! They'll point to the higher percentages they want, which makes it super uncomfortable. The food is good, but it's hard to enjoy when you feel pressured and harassed about tipping. They also gave me the receipt when I was still eating and tried to take my plate! I won't be back read more

The restaurant was packed however the wait was only 30 minutes and they used numbers to keep the wait time "first come first seated". The food was good and there were plenty of selections to choose from. The restaurant was well lite, food was freshly cooked and there were cute designs which made it family friendly. Restroom was really cleaned and the only reason for the 4 star is because we were taken to our seats without the table being cleaned. read more

One of the cleanest buffet spot I've been to. Lots of seating and they have a lot of choices. Pho, hibachi, sushi on top of their many hot items. Server was attentive and made sure to give us refills when needed. I like that they're constantly switching out the hot foods to keep it fresh. read more

Service is horrible. They profile you .. refusing to help leaving you walking around in circles bumping into people as you're trying to find where to get your food cooked ... quality of food is bad and items are tiny. read more

Great food choices! I definitely enjoyed and ate so much more than I planned for! The crab legs, hibachi, everything was delicious!!!

The food is excellent. There are alot of choices for all appetites. The food is kept hot and fresh throughout. There is a great sushi bar as well. I don't recommend going on the weekend. Way too crowded. read more

Roaches crawling like they own the restaurant, mice droppings in the restroom. Food is me and not too good..

Hear me out, most buffets are meant to shower you in options, provide decently tasting food while giving you a good bargain. Golden Apple checks all of those boxes. This place has a surplus of options to satisfy your craving at a bargain. The place is kept pretty clean and the staff are very nice and attentive. I don't think they will be able to sustain their food options and affordable price for a long time so it will be a waiting game to see how this review ages. read more

We've had so many bad experiences with Chinese buffets and then you hear about how some of them use other animals and pose those as chicken or beef so we always skeptical about going to Chinese restaurants but we went here and it was a crowd so I guess that was a good thing I guess it meant that they had good food and had really no big complaints. The restaurant was exceptionally clean and had a nice vibe to it. I know one thing the service was bomb the moment you finish your plate there was somebody taking it and putting it with the other dirty dishes in the back so that was real good so the service is definitely on point. The food was just OK. She really didn't like it but it was cool to me so million dollar question is will we go back probably not because she didn't like it but I might. read more

Not usually one for buffets, but let me tell you--The Golden Apple Buffet in Snellville, GA, is a game-changer! This newly opened spot impressed me with its clean and well-maintained setup, not to mention the outstanding customer service. We arrived during the transition from lunch to dinner, so the place was a bit empty, but hey, that just meant no waiting for a plate full of goodness! They've got stations for days! A hibachi station for those sizzling custom-made stir-fries , a pho station where you can build your bowl just the way you like it , and if you're a seafood lover like me, here's the clincher: blue crabs on weeknights and crab legs on weekends . Yes, they understood the assignment. Now, onto what I chose to eat: I started with a steamy bowl of pho--perfectly seasoned broth, loaded with noodles, beef slices, and fresh herbs. Next, I couldn't resist the hibachi station. My plate came piled high with tender shrimp, perfectly grilled chicken, and sautéed veggies, all coated in that classic savory sauce that screams comfort. And, of course, I made my way to the seafood spread. Let me tell you, the blue crabs did not disappoint--fresh, sweet, and finger-licking good! All this for just $19.99 per person? Yes, please. I'd give them a solid 4-star rating for a buffet--mainly because no one's perfect, but they're pretty close. Pro tip: Go early, especially on weekends, because once word spreads, this place will be packed! #GoldenAppleBuffet #FoodieAdventures #HibachiLove #PhoReal #SeafoodCravings #BuffetDoneRight read more

The food tasted good for a buffet. Usually buffet food just looks good & has no flavor but this food tasted good, although most of the food was greasy. I don't think the place deserves the hype it got because there isn't much food option as I thought but the place looks modern and is clean. The service was usual, nothing too great and nothing terrible read more

All the food quality at this place has gone down while the prices have gone up. Also, there were several very pregnant patrons with their bare stomachs out stretch marks and all at the buffet. I didn't wanna see that while I was eating and I definitely didn't want it near food. I was eating.i won't be back read more

There is a very good variety in choices for dishes. The ambiance is great and the service is good. I love the set up.

The atmosphere decor is very nice. I like a good buffet and the Pho and Hibachi options weren't definitely a plus! However, I'm not sure they thought the design through very well. Since you get up multiple times to enjoy different options of a buffet experience, it's not ideal to have booths since people have to keep playing musical seats to get in and out to go get more food. I also didn't appreciate the semi aggressive service by our server. She was persistent about mentioning a tip (like several times), which was rude and unprofessional in my opinion. The food was decent and they kept it filled pretty well. read more

Golden Apple is very clean, nice people working there and attentive service. There is a variety of food, sushi, American Chinese, Pho and Hibachi. My kids love the deserts. It's nice to finally have a variety buffet option off 124. read more

First off let me say that the Food was on another level good!! The fried foods were crispy and all the food was a perfect temperature and seasoned very well. Not only can you eat a variety of Chinese food but you can order Hibachi, Sushi or Pho!!! That's like 3 restaurants in 1 !! The service was pretty good and the ambiance was unlike anything I've experienced at any other Chinese buffet (when you walk in there are sci-fi figure & case with figurines), it was well lit and very clean!! Grade: 100 !!!! read more

The food is always fresh here, and the pho station is awesome. This place has the most options on different styles of food for any buffet in the area. read more

The hibachi was pretty good but other than the rest of the food was pretty average. The service was also average and being a parent with two kids you can imagine how fast plates accumulate on the table and it HELPS greatly when I myself don't have to be our own BUS BOY! My rating would be better but after hearing recently that they failed their health inspection I have lost confidence. read more

Huge assortment of food. Great service and ambiance. It really is an all-Asian buffet with a phó bar, hibachi and sushi bar in addition to many food islands. read more

Food was amazing. Service was good they kept our drinks full and with clean plates. Decor was warm and inviting. read more

Ate here last night with family. I'd heard good things about it but it was just mediocre. I don't expect high things from a buffet but want cleanliness, decent food and a wide selection. It was clean and the wait staff were attentive. The standard American Chinese dishes were what you would expect. I didn't try the sushi but the nigiri tasted like the rice was old and dry and the fish tasted like cardboard. The shelled crab was cooked beyond recognition and the salmon was overcooked. In general - not a winning sea food place but not bad either, stick to the stock American Chinese buffet things and you can enjoy a decent meal here. read more

The food was good! My biggest issue is the lack of information about how to get the Pho and the Hibachi. I'm sure it's easy but it can be off putting for first timers. I will be back because the food is worth it! read more

My family and I love to check out new buffets around georgia and we had a great time here. my family came to dine for lunch and pricing was very friendly. The staff is very friendly as well and attentive. We went a little early so there weren't too many tables so our server was always present and clearing plates and refilling waters frequently. The quality of the food is very satisfactory. Due to the wide selection of food available, I did not try the stir fry or pho but i would imagine that they're very good as well. Definitely recommend this place ‍ read more

Was sat in a seat that was so cold from people walking in and out the that plate of hot food i had gotten was to cold to eat. I asked to be moved that it was such a problem that i decided just to leave and still was charged23 dollars even though i didnt even get to eat!!!! This is absolutely a shit way to treat a guest. The food was looking great but the way i was treated was absolutely with no respect. If you value respect for others this is not the place for you to go eat!!!! read more

We visited this place because one of my in-laws was very impressed by it. He noted how clean it was, the selection, the sushi bar, the hibachi bar (Mongolian BBQ it would have been called back in my day) and the pho bar. We showed up mid afternoon on a weekday. The service was fast and the table we were given was large and roomy. Drinks came fast and our plates were cleared efficiently and with some grace. Selection was extensive. Unlike other reviews, by mid afternoon seafood choices were substantial. Steamed crabs as big as a pair of my fists could be found, as could crab served other ways. There were multiple shrimp dishes, boiled crawfish, mussels, clams, squid and octopus. There were pork ribs, steamed flounder, fried fish, fried plantains (maduros), plenty of vegetables, desserts (small cakes and cup sized ice cream). There were challenging foods, They had a spicy seaweed salad with a seaweed I had not encountered before. They had pickled chicken feet. There was a mushroom salad and plenty of ways to avoid a boring meal. The sushi bar was more than reasonable. Sensible nigiri (salmon, mackerel, red snapper), sushi rolls, seaweed salad and plenty of picked ginger abound. My wife (half Japanese) and daughter loved the Hibachi and my son-in-law really liked the egg drop soup. I was overall very pleased. It was well above average for the location and for the price. If you want better, there is Nori Nori in Alpharetta but that's twice as expensive as here, and 45 minutes from Snellville. We're planning on coming back, and with as many in-laws as we can attract. read more

Over rated buffet place. The wait is too long and the service is slow. The tables are very small, and they allow too many people inside the small buffet restaurant. You have no room to walk around. You have people that are leaning on the buffet table while they are waiting for their table. The food is not that great. All of the food is like all of the other Hibachi Buffets in Gwinnett. I am sure that they are the same owner! Nothing really interesting to try because it's all the same as Hibachi Buffet. They purposely bring out the blue crabs slowly so that people have to fight for the blue crabs. It's just blue crabs people....we pay money to eat, so bring the crabs out for your customers!!! Again....nothing special about this buffet. You can get the same food at Hibachi , and not have to wait or fight for your food read more
