    We finally decided to try Golden Corral and were very disappointed. The only reason for the two-star rating is the staff member clearing tables, who was friendly and efficient. Unfortunately, the food quality was poor overall. The fried chicken was the only somewhat acceptable item, but it was excessively oily. The salad bar was especially disappointing--limited in options and not fresh-looking. The interior felt dated and cafeteria-like, with an overall unclean impression. Based on this experience, we won't be returning.

    Had a great experience dining at this location. Friendly staff, delicious food. I ordered the lobster special and it was delicious! Brought my son for his graduation dinner and they made it special for us.

    We come here every year for Thanksgiving. Their turkey is fresh and carved to order. It's juicy and moist. The staff are very nice and patient on this very hectic and crowded day. It's very noisy in here and the line can get very long but they keep the food flowing, the tables clean and the floors swept. Thank you to the hard working employees here for the amazing job and great food. Steaks are still grilled to order and they still have the waffle bar and other carved meats with fresh desserts as well. Can't wait to return next year. If we lived closer we would come here more often. Great price for their Thanksgiving buffet, $26.98 for all you can eat. Drink not included.

    hard sweet potatoes??

    HORRIBLE experience. GREAT SERVICE!! $60+ for 5 bites of disgusting food, pie tasted like a wet dog, sweet potatoes looked 6 days old and were hard??? the service was okay i guess they dropped a nasty napkin and 7 different servers and the manger walked past it several times looking at it but wouldn't pick it up. don't come here if you want an actual meal for what your paying. Also the inside looks like you're stuck in the back rooms. Everything is sad and grey.. much like the food. Also the woman's bathroom spelled like a sewer burst.. We walked out and came back in because we were so upset with the food and they gave us a refund. I appreciate them for that and hearing us out as customers! I'm sorry I didn't catch your name sir but thank you! Side note: 4 years of marriage and it's the first time i've ever seen my husband spit out food.. EDIT: 30 minutes after my husband puked in the parking lot do. not. eat. here. save yourself and you wallet please if you disregard all other reviews, please listen to this one. he 100% has food poisoning.

    This is a family friendly AYCE buffet with a salad bar and dessert station. We got there when it opened so it wasn't too crowded yet. It's very open with plenty of indoor seating. The staff had wonderful customer service. There's so much variety, something for everyone. I would suggest checking out all of their offerings before choosing. I like that they have both baked potatoes and sweet potatoes. They have breakfast options as well, like pancakes and French toast. They can also make an omelette for you. My least favorite was the taco station; the meat was cold. The steak burger seemed like it had too much bread. Loved the veggie options, Bourbon Street Chicken and stir fry. There's a large variety of desserts. Loved the banana bread! Very moist! With buffets like this, some things are a hit and some are a miss. But, overall, it's tasty and a great value for AYCE. Come hungry!!

    Came in on a Wednesday at 10:30 AM…read more 3.5/5 For the price, this buffet is definitely worth it. The food wasn't the best I've ever had, but they had a huge variety, and most of it was pretty good. My favorites were the crispy cheese Rangoon, sushi rolls, shrimp with mushrooms, garlic bread, egg rolls better than Panda Express, green beans, mushrooms, and the egg drop soup. I was also surprised that the imitation crab and small crab plate tasted good--they weren't fishy like they can be at some buffets. The orange chicken and jalapeño chicken were both crispy and tasted very similar. The fried rice was just okay by itself, but it paired well with everything else. There were plenty more dishes, desserts, and even a Mongolian BBQ station, but I was already too full to try everything. I didn't check the kitchen or restrooms, but the dining area looked clean. The staff quickly cleared plates and wiped down tables as soon as guests left. Overall, it's a good value buffet with lots of choices. I'd come back.

    Went for lunch Friday 2 PM, not too many clients, only 8 others…read more This place is fairly large, nice, clean, bright but the food selection is very poor, about half at the Fullerton branch. The Mongolian cook way over cook the beef and vegetables, beef so tough inedible, vegetables all mushy, and I told him again and again to cook it rare. Mexicans always over cook. Unless these buffets can hire cooks who can do proper stir fry, they should get rid of the Mongolian section. This place is not worth coming back.

    A local STAPLE! I…read morediscovered this place randomly because I was trying to go to Soup & Fresh on a weekend but didn't want to wait two hours to get seated. This place is HUGE so I've never once had to wait for seating. What I love about this local, family run Mongolian spot is that it's all you can eat, so you don't have to stuff your 1 bowl like at the mall Mongolian spots. You can get 2 bowls if you want, one for noodles and veggies and the other for the meats. Best of all, when you are done, you can get more! The noodles are amazing, but what's equally as good is their side dish bar, which has pocket bread, egg drop soup, rice, spring rolls, and the BEST meatballs in gravy I've had in a while. The meat balls are so soft and flavorful. Lastly, the BEST fountain soda I've ever had is here. I usually drink 3-4 full cups before I leave. I come so often the main guy up front knows me, and always says "see you next week" when we leave.

    Overall, everything was fine, but I wasn't informed beforehand that the lunch buffet didn't include…read morelamb or shrimp. The weekday lunch price of $18.99 feels reasonable, but at $23.99, you have plenty of other buffet options with a much wider selection -- places like Paradise, Empire, or Hibachi, which also include a Mongolian grill station. And honestly, if I'm only craving Mongolian grill, I'd rather drive to Pasadena and eat at Golden Palace for just $15.99. A quick tip to really make your money worth it: grab two bowls -- one for meat and one for noodles and veggies. Load up on as much meat as you can because it shrinks significantly after cooking. Take as little noodles as possible since they'll fill you up fast. Most people can only finish one or two bows, so don't waste your money by piling on too many noodles. Many previous reviews mentioned that this place used to automatically add a 6% gratuity fee even for solo diners. It seems they've stopped doing that, but they still add gratuity for larger groups.

The dining process is super convenient and straightforward: you select your favorite soup base from options like Tonkotsu or Spicy Miso on your order sheet, choose your starting cuts of meat, and then head over to the self-serve area to round out your meal. The quality of the food across the board is top-notch--the meats arrive fresh and finely sliced, and you can reorder as much as you want at no additional charge. What truly sets this place apart, beyond the delicious food and attentive service, is the comfortable dining environment. Unlike many other hot pot restaurants where the heat leaves you sweating through your meal, the AC here is powerful and keeps the room perfectly cool. You can fully enjoy cooking your hot pot with unlimited trips to the self-serve bar for fresh veggies, sauces, seafood, noodles, and dessert without feeling uncomfortably warm.

We stuck to the beef and the pork belly which was very good, the beef not so much though. The buffet bar had plenty of options and sauces so that was a plus but unfortunately the lack of service really made this experience a two-start rating. We were greeted (dryly), seated, and left to figure out the confusing ordering sheet. Thankfully we have experience with HotPot and (sort of) figured it out and even after we expressed concern about how we were suppose to order/write down our meat selections per round (which they claim is unlimited but they only have 3 columns on the sheet) our questions remained unanswered. Trying to flag a waiter down to order more meat was a pain as hardly any were available and we were missing appetizers on our "second" but with the way the service was we figured there wasn't any point in bringing it up not to mention the lack of (flat) soda refills. I doubt we will be returning.

We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.
