I wanted to love an old school Chinese buffet but baby, this was not it. The rice - dry and not good, the steak did not look to be steak, I don't know what was in the dumplings. Would not visit again. All the servers looked miserable. read more

Not enough American food tables to close together like eating with people you don't know very uncomfortable changed the sweet and sour chicken sauce bring back the one and where's the pizza read more

Found a bug in the lo mein. Mentioned it to the gentleman upfront, just uttered a quick sorry and had us pay our bill. We've been coming here for years, very disappointed. read more

I had to re-write this as there was a Golden Buffet on Highland Road and Airport. When we moved to the area, we would go there but watched it decline over the years. This one is very good, lots to choose from. I like small plates so I can sample many different items. I would like to see kimchi on the salad bar. We will drive to King Buffet in Lapeer if we want even better food and selection. read more

No problems here the buffet is well and hot food always comes out. It's pretty cheap but has gotten more expensive over the years. I still recommend this place for a big group of people and just trying to get fed. read more

We tried this again today and it was pretty good. Service is very good. They had shrimp on the Mongolian style grill. I really appreciate that. Billy had four kinds of sushi for lunch. We will be back again when we are in the neighborhood. read more

Golden Buffet - Buffet prices - Chinese Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

The staff was friendly, but I came later in the evening and there was hardly any food out, I got one plate and they charged me $37 for it. The food that I did get was good but not exactly worth almost $40 for one plate! I did like that they had real fish in the coi pond though :) read more

On Christmas day, 99.9% of the time, I'm out doing Chinese food because that's what I do. This year, I went with my friend, her husband and another gentleman to this buffet in Waterford as that's where they'd wanted to go. So, off I went. In regards to buffet's around here in Metro Detroit, there really isn't one that stands out, so I went in with low expectations. The bonus of eating here is the food's actually good with a decent selection of dishes. Plus, considering it's Christmas day, it was only about $18 a person, which is a good price. (We shopped around a little, and some were as high as $25 per person? Yea, no.) I had a few different dishes and all were good. We really liked it and our drinks were usually on point. The dessert section was disappointing and was lacking considering how much other food they had here. Place has a good amount of seating, so there's no shortage of that. Another thing that we all had a good chuckle about: they have some handwritten signs saying that "excessive food waste will result on an extra charge." What's considered food waste, and what's the charge? I thought that sort of stuff was more of a comedy sketch thing and didn't realize these buffet's actually do this. I guess it's a thing. Would I go back? Probably for the price only or if it's another holiday where few places are open, but not ever my "go to" place either. Thy also seem understaffed, and the refill station people seemed to be working at a very high rate of speed. read more

Great food great people great atmosphere,........... Will be back for their sandwiches for sure

Golden Buffet I swear, I made this review years ago. Same place. Same food. Nothing bad to say. It's our GoTo Chinese buffet. Not many buffets in this area. The next good buffet is Fuji Japanese Buffet but that is far away and expensive. Every time we come here, there is no seafood, so don't expect any. Highly Recommended read more

I like the food nice people 5 plates of meat make me happy needs to be 85 characters xxxxzzx

Alright. Staff had a funky vibe I felt like they wanted to save the food for the next day.

Pretty good buffet, wish the sushi options was better and the rangoons actually have crab in them.

It was far more expensive than what I expected. We had 2 adults and 2 kids and it was $57. The sushi was minimal and looked like it had been sitting there for a while. Not much selection. They did have a hibachi but there was no one at the station so not sure how you eat it. The dessert was ok, but we didn't see a chocolate fountain. There was ice cream though, which was the highlight of the whole thing. The food was all fried and not good. Everything looked crusty. The atmosphere was very odd and I didn't enjoy my experience. read more

Delicious Chinese food and plenty of other great options. The fruits and vedgies taste fresh.

Food was okay. Quite bland and non memorable. A lot of fish simply cold or not warm/hot. Egg rolls were very greasy. The hot and sour soup was actually very good. Chicken on a stick was hot and well seasoned also. All in all, just a lot of food if you're hungry. read more

I also had "scallops" that were pieces of fish. How can they do this?? Why doesn't the health department do someone ? It really is sad that a Buffay is so concerned about making money. They will screw the customer over. read more

All you can eat and more than you could ask for. I love this place. Come try it... You have my word read more

This is one of those places my kids beg me to go to, they love coming here. We only just discovered it a year or two ago, but not when we are on a break from school, this place is high on their list to come eat. We always have a great experience here. I know it is not the biggest, newest, or have the largest selection, but what they have is tasty and fun. I really enjoy their sushi. It is also on the small side, but I have not had a bad roll yet. They have plenty of the accompaniments to go, like wasabi and sauces. They have the traditional American buffet selection with mac and cheese and meatballs. I love the stuffed mushrooms and the krab stick bake. Mei fun is one of our favorite noodle dishes, so good! If you like chicken dishes, that is what they have the most variety of, the peanut chicken and coconut chicken is so yummy, and the bourbon chicken was very good. I love the jalapeno chicken, the peppers were cooked to perfection. I wish they had more shrimp, but the fried shrimp was good. The kids really, really enjoy the chocolate fountain. they have plenty of fruit and cookies to dip, plus the traditional buffet sweet table with small cakes and pudding. The soft serve ice cream is good because they have a couple sauces plus a few toppings. The staff seems friendly and the prices are not bad. There is a coupon you can print as well. When the buffet craving hits I am grateful for Golden! It is a fun place to come with family. read more

This place is great! Alot of great food to pick from. I usually go here for lunch when it's not too busy but it's a large place and there's plenty of room. I'd rate it 5/5! read more

This place deeply saddens me, which does not lend itself to a pleasant dining experience. The place is dirty, the employees are low energy and the food is sub par. Maybe it had a high point. It is no longer there. Improvement is always possible. read more

I've been coming here since I was young, and the food has never changed. It is delightful i've always enjoyed their food selections and options. The staff is friendly and makes sure the food is always fresh and rotates frequently. I've always loved the decor of the place, it's still the same from the early 2000s and that is my favorite thing about it still. read more

I truly am not sure I trust this food as being safe per health regulations because although I expect buffet food to be somewhat cold, this buffet food is REALLY cold. Like possibly unsafe cold. I have a feeling this stuff is old and held in a cooler for weeks and is certainly nowhere near fresh. The only thing you can somewhat trust here is the stir fry Mongolian food they do. Even that kind of sketches me out. I wouldn't trust the sushi with a ten foot pole. I enjoyed this place a lot as a kid but as an adult I really just... am not sure... Food = probably old, definitely cold. Including all meats and soups. I will not patron this place again which is a little sad. Service is awful don't expect a refill for any of your drinks either. They don't like being "bothered" even for some water. read more

All employees are very nice. Everything looks great. Salad bar is the best thing about this restaurant. Food is quantity over quality

The food is alright. But I learned today as I was gonna eat some deep fried shrimp. I checked to make sure it was cleaned. Nope still has the poop vein in all of it They don't clean it. So beware!!! read more

Great buffet! The food is replenished frequently and it's good! We love coming here with friends.

when the Buffet has a sign that says scallops and you get it back to your table and discovered that the skills are actually little chunks of fish. It really makes you wonder what else they are telling you they're giving you which it really isn't. they want to make a profit so bad they will deceive their customers. Not right shame on you. read more

Let me preface this by saying I generally don't like buffets. I worked in foodservice for many years and I've seen too much to really enjoy them, lol. But honestly this place was not bad. As far as the food goes--pretty average for the 'main' dishes. I actually preferred the 'sides'. The wonton soup was my favorite as the broth was very flavorful and the steamed wontons were delicious. I appreciated them having steamed rice and not just fried. The steamed vegetables and the salad bar were fresh and I appreciated the option for some more veggies. The restaurant seemed clean and overall a nice establishment. 13 dollars per person for dinner. Not bad! read more

Very good, but went for lunch price so be warned you can only select from 2 sections of food not all food is included in lunch price which I think isn't right. Had one amazing waitress I really appreciated! read more

So good for kids! Such a great variety! Yum Yum! I recommend the wonton soup, the Mongolian grill and the donuts are wonderful! Best dinner rolls! read more

I love this place so much. I first started out with a fresh plate of sushi and hot tea. The sushi was really good! I loved it! I went up for seconds and got an egg roll, spring roll, rice, teriyaki chicken, and a piece of pizza. Hmmmmm I loved the freshness and quality of the food! My third plate was a mix of General Sao's chicken, pepper steak, and rice. I already ate so much from the last two plates that I couldn't finish the third plate. It was delicious. Im glad I found this place. I had dinner with 3 people and our total was $53 I can't wait to go back. The interior is amazing and beautiful as well. They have a lucky fountain with real fish! Wow! Give this place try! You wont be disappointed read more

It's alright but I do eat here frequently. Great service, ok food but perfect if you want to eat a lot. Exactly what you would expect from a buffet. read more

My sister told me of this place and we decided it was a great family lunch outing for all 7 of us. I've had Chinese buffets before, and the place I used to go, really went downhill. So I was very excited to try something new. I have to say this is now one of my favorite Chinese buffets to go to. Though for me its a long way to drive and a little hard to get to, unless I'm visiting my sister's family in Holly. I loved the fresh sushi options,I believe there was 10 different styles to choose from. The entrees they set up on the buffet was always hot and replenished when the staff saw it was getting low. Which made it great that it was sitting out for too long. They did have a salad bar and a dessert bar but I wasn't interested in those because it was typical for most buffet to have those items. A plus that the buffet sections were always clean and no spillage. The restaurant itself looked clean and the tables were constantly bused. Staff was only there to refill drinks, so I couldn't say much about being friendly, though we always had refills when we got back to the table from the buffet area. The only thing I missed from my old place was the steamed dumplings....but I can live with that! And lastly, the money you spend here was very well worth it! Very reasonable and great for families on a budget. And you get a fortune cookie at the end...enjoyed family reading what fortune they received. read more

service wasn't bad. food was pretty bland not too many options would stay away from seafood in a buffet. atmosphere pretty good though i guess. read more

Rude and dismissive staff. Insane pricing for Luke warm food, musty dirty smell and flies everywhere. I must say this place needs a serious visit from the health inspector! Absolutely gross! read more

An amazing selection of choices. This place is a hidden gem! Highly recommend for casual dining. Pros: Large selection of buffet items, including sushi options, a desert bar (with a chocolate fountain and soft serve ice cream), stir fry station, salad bar and hot bar items. Staff is attentive and the place is clean. The prices are very affordable! Cons: Interior is dated and they could use new chairs/tables. Quality of food could be improved. read more

This place was alright though, the food wasn't as good as we intended! We got crab legs, thinking they would not be extra cause it was in the buffet, but than bam, they charge us with over 20 dollars! Greatly we got refunded, the service was a little inpatient,but other than that this is a average alright place to go, but you can find some way more better somewhere else out there. read more

It's Christmas Eve, and we decided to have a Christmas Story buffet-style Chinese dinner. They have an excellent selection that is sure to please everyone, including your kids. I really enjoyed the sushi. I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life, so I guess I would rate the sushi up there with Kroger-made sushi. It is decent for masses produced. The hot dishes were regularly replaced. The food was fresh and hot. One advantage to the buffet, is that you can try a little of everything (tapas style) if you like without having to have a mountain of one type of food. Prices are outstanding. Print off the 15% off bill coupon online and bring it with you. I'd go back... like in 6 months. There is a time and a place for a Chinese buffet. read more
