85 characters of negative experience? Okay. Food was mostly edible, but not pleasant, let alone good. Young man present when entering only pointed to table and never offered beverage or interaction. Won't bother stopping again read more

Got there an hour before closing. 75% of the food are almost empty or empty. When asked the lady about bringing more food, she said it's getting close in an hour. Crab legs are very tiny. Not sure why you would sell those skinny crab legs with tiny little meat in it. read more

Not a fan. Lukewarm food and took a long time for them to get everything stocked once open. Nothing terrible, but nothing good enough to get me to go back again. read more

Decent food (Panda Express quality) at an extreme low price. $12.5 for an adult lunch buffet during weekdays?! Of course, the food can be better. But at this price, it beats lot of restaurants. read more

Good variety of fresh dishes even though 1:45 PM, customers continued to roll in until we left as well. Service was friendly and price is fair for the quality of the food, we will bale back when in town and desiring Chinese food. A good find and with a try when in the mood! Plenty of parking and easy access from the main road. read more

We had almost given up on finding decent Chinese here in Helena but upon reading fellow Yelpers reviews we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located in an old Wendy's and, with the exception of a few Chinese lanterns and some Asian inspired art, it looks the same. Everything was clean and sanitary. The waitress 8 We arrived at 4:30 on a Thursday and we were a bit dubious as there was only one other customer. We needn't have worried. It was $14.95 for the buffet. There was a good variety of choices and everything was fresh and hot. I was very surprised to get good hot and sour soup. Standouts included the pineapple shrimp, the honey shrimp and the crab legs. They also had a salad bar and dessert bar although I didn't try either. The longer we were there more customers came in and it was busy when we left. Golden Buffet lived up to it's name. read more

A family run business Food is always fresh and plentiful. With a great view of Helena.

This place was amazing! I work wildland fire and worked a full day then went there. The food was amazing and the lady running it was super friendly and nice. Will definitely be coming back and bringing the crew. read more

Food was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out for awhile. The lady that sat us and a gentleman were arguing with each other the whole time we were there. Very slow for a Wednesday afternoon so you would have figured the service should have been decent but that wasn't the case. Went up to the counter to pay and the gentleman that checked us out was extremely rude. Definitely won't be stopping by again the next time we are in town. read more

There was only one other table when we got there, we were seated quickly. Then were directed to buffet. There were things mixed from old food and fresher food in same pan. Picked thru what looked ok and made a serving. When back at table soup was just warm not hot. The heat table must have been off all the different food pans not even room temp. Cold rice, cold beans, cold beef. Cold, cold, cold. Other people were complaining that thing were cold. When we were done and ready to pay bill, asked if we could have a discount for the cold food. The comment was no discount you leave, no no you go. That is last time there, we only asked for $5 off the total bill. NO YOU GO !! No No Don't Go read more

My husband and I came to eat there yesterday and there was barely any food and what was there was very old and dry. It was so disappointing. I felt sick to my stomach afterwards. read more

Arrived at 6:00 and were greeted and shown to our table. Very friendly and checked a couple of times to see if we needed anything else. There was a good variety of dishes to choose from. The food was hot and delicious. My favorite was the salt and pepper shrimp. Glad to see that they changed the carpet and put in new flooring. read more

I ate here on Wednesday, August, 30, 20/3, at 11:00 am for lunch. Obviously the pictures on the previous reviews are from the night buffet because all the good food wasn't available. The restaurant and toilets are clean and the buffet bar well stocked. It's best to arrive 30 minutes after opening to allow time for all food to be available. The staff are friendly and the customers mostly seem to be regulars. You may need to call over the wait person to get tea refills though. The food is mildly seasoned and while it looks like Chinese food it's seriously lacking in flavor. This seems to be the nature of most restaurant foods in the area. During my time here, the meatballs and spicy shrimp were the stars of the buffet. It's usually the chicken on a stick, but mildly flavored, not this time. This is a good Chinese buffet primarily because it's the only one. read more

The food is delicious and the waitress was amazing. She was very helpful and very friendly. We will come again if we are in town

For a Chinese buffet, not bad for being in Montana. Friendly staff that are really trying to make a go. Food was hot and they were working hard to keep the popular food available. read more

Why can't a Chinese food restaurant have Chinese cooks? Just like the Mexican restaurants here, no Mexican cooks. Not impressed with the dry food. Overcooked. White people trying to cook Chinese. What's wrong with this picture. read more

Food was not that good, rice tasted a day old. Orange chicken, other items were a big miss. Really disappointing, service was okay but when I asked to break a twenty all I got was ten dollars back. I laughed so hard because I honestly was going to tip 5 bucks. I laughed so all to the car and was I am sure you needed it. Panda Express isn't Chinese but there rice and chow main isn't a day old that's for sure. read more

Food was great... they take pride in making sure customers are taken care of! If ever my favorite dish isn't available... they make it fresh!!! read more

the lady was so nice and sweet, the food is delicious when you come early and i appreicate how talkative the lady is to people she seems very hard working and i respect that, i love this place amd it has always been my favorite!!! read more

I'm surprised there isn't more reviews for this place. It's great! I came in from the cold after walking from my hotel and they instantly gave me some green tea to warm me up. Super grateful for that and their kindness. The food itself was fantastic and had a ton of flavor. There's plenty of options from seafood to spicy dishes, and just about everything in between. There's also a wide range of desserts to finish off your meal. The price for the buffet is very fair and I'll definitely be back again. Thanks again! read more

I got my food to go but wish I had stayed. The food quality and selection were better than I expected, especially for Helena. So I gave it a Helena 5 Star. The hostess was very kind and kept offering me more food even though my container was full. I'm glad I went and will definitely go back. Finally found good hot and sour soup with wontons. I ordered that from Jade garden and asked for wontons...they asked what those were. read more

Always a great place to eat Chinese food in Montana. Prices are comparable to any other restaurant in town. Service is efficient. Staff is friendly. After taking a hit from Covid, these kind of places need your local support. We try to eat here whenever the family goes to Helena. Kids Discount - Lunch / Dinner rates =) read more

Love this place. Great selection, fresh food, nice service

Good food and service. I'd not go right at opening as they were still putting food out both times we were there for 20-30 minutes. But we'd go back read more

The only thing that was good here was the Texas Toast and fry bread covered in sugar. What was left for Chinese food, most the pans were empty, looked like it had been sitting out all day and was luke warm. I couldn't even finish my plate, the food was tasteless and nothing tasted as it should, including the deserts. My husband choked down one plate and went back for sweet & sour chicken, because how can you mess that up and couldn't even eat it. The cashier charged us for dinner pricing even though it was lunch and then argued with my husband when he told her he was over charged. The irony is there was a note that said "be respectful and don't waste good food" on the wall and the food was literally un-eatable. My husband and I are not picky people and are grateful to have food cooked for us and this was our worst eating out experience ever. read more

Been a while since we last ate at the L&D buffet at this location. Since then it has "changed hands" 2 or 3 times. Same package, different wrapper. We read on yelp that this time it really did change hands so we went in to try it. Place looks almost exactly as it did years ago except with freshly painted signs.... Food was just fair, but I will say it has improved immensely since the last time we were there. Didn't get sick from the food this time, so that was a plus. Not too sure it merits another visit, but at least the food is better. read more

really good food and really reasonable prices. Would go 6 days a week, if I could. the Thai curry is amazing.

Absolutely amazing food! They aren't affiliated with the old l and d. My favorite is either the curry or the pepper chicken. If you eat in you get to enjoy the banter between the Chinese owner and the English-speaking waitress. It's great :) read more
