    So my and I dines here 1st June before heading to the Joss Stone concert. We hadn't been to G.C. in quite some time. Atmosphere: brinlght, busy and loud! I know , I know, why a buffet? It's not clean.... well, G.C. have plastic partitions and gloves for you to use at the serving stations. Their stations were clean. They now offer alcohol beverages! We could not believe it!! Awesome!!! There was a patio where you could sit. We dined inside at first, but the air was on the Arctic setting, so we moved outdoors. We'll We got so comfortable, we almost forgot we had a concert to get to. The food was ok. We enjoyed the hot fried chicken!!!!! The ribs and steak were good. Plenty to choose from. The ice cream worked. Overall, we enjoyed and would go back.

    Lady in front was nice, you seat yourself. Out of the different golden coral's over been to, the food here is by far the worse. I can steely say I will never return to this one. The staff here was nice though that's why I'm putting three stars. I would have put a one star for the food.

    Whenever I drive past Golden Corral, I'm alway wondering who's keeping the place in business. It's so interesting. The wait was over 30 minutes but I was determined to try it out at least once. We waited for close to 50 mins. Never again waiting that long. We paid in front before getting in line and entering the buffet dining area. It's really simple and plain decor. Really straight forward like you know what you're getting. Besides water, you have to order the other beverages in the front when you paid. Food was ok! A lot of it was mediocre buffet food. A lot of meat were over-seasoned and salty. The veggies were good in flavor but a lot of them were either drowned in butter and bacon or mushy and over cooked. The soft serve machine was broken. A classic you get what you paid for. A quick eat and get out spot. A lot of children running around without adults. Could potentially be a good affordable spot for hosting a large party. However if looking for something special, I would skip this place.

    If your like old style large floor plan Chinese buffet, Grand China Buffet on the circuit around…read morethe old Franklin Mills Mall be your jam. Tons of cheap Chinese American dishes like found in most corner take out shops, plus for dinner the addition of a few higher end items like steamed crayfish, shrimp, crab and fresh fish fillets in various spicy or sweet/sour sauces. These last ones are only available after the lunch service is over and the crowd rushes in for supper. Very large dining room accommodates several hundred people at once, and the buy in is only $13.99 for lunch and $18.99 for dinner. Price is right. Beyond all that, there is also more traditional American fare like chicken wings and fries for the cuisine challenged. Too, plenty of sushi and desserts from jello to cheesecake, not to mention a chocolate fountain when it is working. Problem is that almost everything is cool when eaten from sitting around on the serving tables so long, and the quality of the kitchen is about the same as found in most corner Chinois Americano houses; which is to say, mediocre at best. However, if you focus on the seafood and shellfish, you may feel satisfied. I saw many people with plate fulls of crab and cray or shrimp, up to their elbows in breaking shells and sucking out the meat with abandon. Those folks really got their money's worth. The rest of us, well, it was a closer proposition. But, witnessing how into it my lady was (at least three plates piled high with broken and crushed crab shells), I suspect we will be visiting this old joint with some frequency, along with the thousands of others who can't get enough of too much.

Michael, the manager, always greets us with a smile, and sometimes we even get lucky enough to have him as our server. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen this guy have a bad day. He's professional, welcoming, funny, and somehow makes every visit feel personal. Gin is also amazing, we absolutely love getting him as our waiter. Honestly though, we've never had a bad experience with any member of the staff. Everyone there is friendly and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. For years, this has been the ONLY restaurant my mom consistently wants to go to. We use way too much sauce, accidentally burn half our food, and still somehow have the best time every single visit. The atmosphere is just that good. And the food? Absolutely top tier. The meats, seafood, and vegetables are always fresh. The Thai Tom Yum broth is my personal favorite and never disappoints. My mom is obsessed with the KPot short rib, and honestly, I can see why, it's amazing. I'm hooked on the sweet and spicy sauce with the garlic shrimp. Every time I tell someone about this place, I hype it up with the same excitement because it truly deserves it. If you've never been to KPot Franklin Mills, just GO. I swear you will not be disappointed.

Although this has been open for a while, I don't think the quality has decline at all. One of the standout features of this restaurant was its extensive food selection. The variety of meats available for Korean BBQ was truly remarkable, ranging from beef bulgogi and marinated pork belly to tender chicken and flavorful seafood. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch. Moreover, the hot pot offerings were equally impressive, with an array of fresh vegetables, seafood, and delectable broths to choose from. The ability to customize my dining experience according to my preferences was a definite highlight. Although it feels like I am eating less and less each time I come because maybe I am not able to eat as much I used to. Ha What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. The waitstaff were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout my entire dining experience. They were more than willing to guide me through the menu, make recommendations based on my preferences, and ensure that all my needs were met. The servers were quick to refill our drinks, change out the grill, and offer assistance whenever required. They recently added tablet ordering which makes some of the dining experience better. Food comes out even quicker without flagging down your waiter/waitress. Another commendable aspect of this establishment was the reasonable price point. Given the quality and variety of the food on offer. This combination of delicious food, excellent service, and reasonable prices makes it an outstanding value for money. In conclusion, I've been to KPot many times over the year and haven't been disappointed yet. Although I do hope they can install individual ventilation at each table where you don't smell like grilled steak after dining.

The floor in the main dinning room is pulling apart and is duct taped together. The chairs and tables are flimsy and falling apart. I asked for a blood orange margarita as it was the special of the day. It was not drinkable. It was some sort of powder or mix that was so sour and overly sweet. It did not have any tequila in it. I literally took one sip and left it there. The cheesesteak was good on a seeded roll. It was ribeye and it was done well. Hence tge two stars. The bbq platter had brisket, pulled chicken, ribs, corn and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was the best thing on the platter. The pulled chicken was sitting in a bowl of grease. The brisket was big globs of fat. The ribs were okay. They put a tiny line of sauce on each item. The service was rushed and spotty. I had heard good things, so we decided to give it a try. Very disappointed. There are so many good places around this area now, there is no need to go here again.

We arrived around 7:00 PM and were seated immediately, which was a nice start. The first thing I noticed, though, was that many of the tongs and serving spoons at the buffet were sticky. It was pretty gross and definitely didn't make a great first impression. I tried a little bit of everything, and overall the food was just...okay. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't anything special. The lo mein had a strange flavor that wasn't what I'm used to from Chinese restaurants. The Alfredo sauce on the mussels was an odd choice and didn't work for me. The stuffed mushrooms seemed to be mostly breading with a little cheese. The calamari was probably the best thing I ate all night. The dessert selection was disappointing. They have a freezer with individually packaged "ice cream" cups, but it's really more of a frozen dairy dessert than actual ice cream. The texture and flavor weren't good, and after looking at the ingredients (nonfat milk, corn syrup, and whey protein), it made sense why. I honestly think an actual soft-serve ice cream machine would improve the dessert experience quite a bit. Other dessert options included cookies, Nutty Buddy bars, and a strange mint mousse/fluff in little cups that looked pretty unappealing. We skipped the hibachi, so I can't comment on that. I also wasn't impressed with the sushi--it looked like grocery store sushi that had simply been put out on the buffet. Dinner for two came to about $36, which seems pretty standard for a weeknight Chinese buffet and was a fair price. The other thing that was disappointing was there was no music playing and I think it really would've created a better ambience if there was some Chinese music playing in the background. Staff was very attentive. We were asked about refills and they also were quick to clean the dirty plates off of our table. Overall, I'd describe the experience as just "mid." Nothing was bad enough to make me upset, but nothing stood out enough to make me want to come back. If they improved the sushi, upgraded the desserts, and paid more attention to cleanliness around the buffet utensils, I think it would make a big difference. As it stands, I don't see myself returning.

Food is still decent...however, this time around, I decide to pay for gratitude at the front desk instead of before leaving. To our surprise, the staff that always served us for all these visits decides to stop us from leaving because we didn't leave a tip on the table! I reiterated that we already gave the 18% at the front desk and they blocked us from leaving until we showed them our folded-up receipt (which we luckily didn't throw out) that we already paid. I am not sure what happened there, but given that it's the same staff that always served us that did this, we will be very reluctant to come back for sure. There are plenty of other buffets nearby that would appreciate our business and not treat us like criminals just because we didn't leave tip on the table. I hope the owner reads this because this is just unacceptable way to treat customers. I can understand people aren't making much these days and depend on gratitude for income, but while it's a great gesture, it is still at the discretion of the customer! The staff needs some cultural training for sure.
