    Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Bar ;)
    Ben C.

    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.

    Food looks really good , and delicious . The buffet looks really appetizing. Service is great . Waitress is very tentative. She made sure to refill our drinks. The restaurant is very clean , very hip and modern and spacious.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    A long way to enjoy a lunch with extended family. We found extensive selection of Asian cuisine (some prepared to your specifications). No rush, just attentive service, at great prices.

    Great food and very reasonable price. Highly recommend. It extremely clean, food is fresh and they change out their selections often. It has adequate space and wait times are minimal

    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.

    Only one table passed before my plate was overflowing. Coconut shrimp, baked mussels, Hong Kong crab and baked scallops.

    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.

    I like it and my daughter 6 a sushi eater ask to go back before we left the parking spot lol guess I'll be back regardless smh lol

    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!

PERFECTION!! the spicy edamame was soooo good and that's coming from someone that doesn't really care for edamame. the spicy garlic sauce made it taste so much better. their pork bulgogi is also soft and the sauce has good flavor as well. i was blown awayyy. totally recommend trying!!

Looking around, they have K-POP (not demon hunters) music playing on a tv and another playing sports. The tables have a glossy marble finish. Some of the walls are bare rock, the others are a smooth finish. When I had gotten my Sashimi and Nigiri it was put on a fancy plate with little white thingys and lemon, ginger, and a flower. Eating the sashimi was amazing; it was cold and soft. It had a nice pink-red color and was very nice to eat. When I had tried the Nigiri, the salmon and rice was warm, with the salmon being soft, like the sashimi. TL;DR: Service was great, Ambience was great, and the food was served with glory and deliciousness. Overall a 5 star Japanese/Korean restaurant. Would recommend.

We filled up the table but I figured it wouldn't be a big deal because there was barely anyone else in there on. Monday. Our waiter was clearly not interested in working last night. It was all in his attitude. It started with our drink orders. I tried to order the drink I normally order. His response was a disgusted face and "What?" before finally telling me they didn't have the key ingredient. Next, half the party got salad and half got soup. We waited another 20 minutes for everyone to get either their other soup or salad. My sushi comes but I have nothing to drink. Not water or the lemon drop I ordered when I arrived. By the time I finished my sushi and drank my child's water, my watered down lemon drop came. It was clear it had been sitting in the ice for a minute. Now, let's talk about the hibachi. After the rice and vegetables were cooked, the stove went out. They spent another 15-20 minutes trying to fix that instead of just moving us. There was really no show because all the time was spent fixing the cooktop. Lastly, it took exactly 45 minutes to get the checks after we finished eating. He never even came back to let us know what was going on. We just saw other people paying their checks and leaving. Once we got up to stop waiting and leave, then someone ran over with some checks. Of course there was mandatory gratuity already included for that horrible service.

The restaurant appeared clean from what I could tell, and our food came out quickly. The first thing that arrived was the two sushi trays we had chosen. They looked amazing when they came out and honestly looked very appetizing, but unfortunately, they didn't taste nearly as good as they looked. Our server also had us choose three additional plates from options like proteins, appetizers, salad, noodles, and more. I chose teriyaki chicken, vegetable noodles, and a house salad with ginger dressing. My kids ordered similar items. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was disappointing as well. The ginger dressing tasted watered down, the chicken was dry and didn't really have any teriyaki flavor, and the vegetable noodles were extremely salty. My kids normally love fried rice, but they wouldn't eat it. Overall, everything seemed to have a very similar flavor, and there was a strange aftertaste that lingered in my mouth. While the restaurant seemed clean and the service was quick, the food just wasn't enjoyable for us. For $17.99 per person, I expected much better. Unfortunately, we won't be going back.
