this place is delicious as hell some people will say that the servers are rude but they're really not. they're just quiet and give you time to eat. comfy booths and the string lights make it cozy/ even though the outside looks like a car repair shop. 10/10 on everything read more

Great Asian buffet option - $13.49 at lunch, and $12.49 for seniors. They have Chinese food, sushi (although almost all veggies), wok station (my favorite), salad bar, and desserts incl. 4 ice cream flavors). They have 2 private rooms in the back if you want to do a group event. The servers are very friendly. read more

The food is pretty good. Some are oily and so delicious it became addictive, and you couldn't tell the ingredients by the taste or the look. Next time I'll try to avoid those. The servers are really friendly. read more

The food was old and bland usually it does have good days but here lately it's been spotty just like the waiter's service needs to be improved the ambiance of the place is old but relaxing! It was the best part of my visit today! read more

This place has quite an eclectic selection from Mac and Cheese, sushi, Chinese food, and more. The food was mostly okay, nothing that stood out. However, the desserts were quite a surprise with mini tastes of all kinds of things. I definitely appreciated the creativity of the desserts. Also, service was VERY good! So many nice young ladies checking drinks, taking plates, making sure every table was taken care of. If you haven't tried out this place you might be surprised. Get there early as it gets busy but there is plenty of seating in a nice dining room with booths for a quieter meal too. read more

It was okay. The food was not that great and I probably wouldn't go again. Service was great and the place itself is clean and decent. Just wasn't a fan of the food, personally. read more

A great Chinese Buffet. They offer a nice variety of Chinese, and American dishes to choose from. They have pizza, ham, pork chops, or pork loin, and vegetables for people that may not like chinese food. read more

Reasonable prices. Good quality food and service well. Chinese food and Japanese sushi all taste good.

Fresh food always, staff very polite, great atmosphere they also have sushi and fresh fish.

We visit at least twice a month as it is a 45-minute drive for us. Food is always hot and consistent. Great selection. They have a high turn so everything is always fresh. Reasonable prices and they offer a senior discount! read more

The food is always great and the wait is never long. I always love eating here with my family and friends.

I was impressed with the amount of food they offered. It was definitely a lot more than I'm used to finding at an Asian buffet. The dessert options were my favorite. They have a grill where they make your order with your choices from the hibachi section. The salad bar was extensive which is a plus. 4 stars because although they had extensive sushi choices some of the rolls did not taste fresh and had a weird sweet taste to them. Overall the hot food was good and the desserts are a great way to end. read more

Still the best Chinese buffet I have ever found. They have a nice selection of sushi, many traditional Chinese dishes, and some traditional American food (pizza and chicken). You are sure to find something you like, read more

Convenient - yes Cleanliness - yes Food choices - not too bad Service - pretty good Food quality and taste - below average There are other better Chinese buffets in the surrounding areas. I don't think we will return to this one. read more

Every time I come here I get the same thing I could crap some rat on a stick chicken basically a lot of things but every time my it's really good but every time my sister goes there she gets food poisoning from the food I don't know why so much careful I guess read more

The food is always excellent. I really like the sushi. They have everything that you would want.

Shockingly amazing. We were in town for a softball tournament and wanted something quick. This is hands down one of the best buffets I've been to. Sushi was fresh, salad bar was huge and packed full, hibachi was absolute chefs kiss (and super fresh) and all the usual Chinese options were wonderful. Crab Rangoons and dumplings were "fire". I would drive the two hours from my house to come back. read more

Golden Oak Grill Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Went here on a week night and it was busy. Customer service was really good for a buffet and their offerings varied. From a stir fry noodle station, classic Chinese American food to local American fare like Mac n cheese and pizza. Lots of seafood as well. They were actively cleaning as people were getting their plates. Prices are reasonable. Can't wait to go back. read more

If you're looking for value, this is your go-to! I loved this buffet so much that I went for lunch and dinner on the same day. There's a huge variety of food ranging from sushi to Chinese hot food to American. When you first walk in, you immediately pay based on adult or child or if you choose take out. They charge based on weight if you do take out. Afterwards, a waitress seats you, asks you what you want to drink, and you're free to eat to your heart's content. The lunch and dinner menu was slightly different. The dinner menu was $2 more expensive (which is still a huge steal!) And had steak and crab. Granted the crab was really small but it was great. There's even a Mongolian grill if you wanted to choose your toppings and noodles to have it freshly made. That was pretty cool. There's also a cold salad bar with some pasta and macaroni salad. It's definitely a huge place with many booth seating and regular tables and chairs seating. I would recommend trying it out if you're in town! read more

Buffet was the same as always and lacked flavor. It also costs more than it use to. I was disappointed with my last visit and left not full. Two or three types of rice, creamed spinach(why), pizza(why), three or four types of chicken, two types of noodles, flavorless custard buns, beef and broccoli, beef and mushroom, stuffed mushroom(dry and gross), wonton, sweet and sour chicken, two soups, salad, couple fruit, two types of nigiri sushi, 3 types of rolls(roll had a literal dot of fish almost couldn't find it.) I have an issue with carbs and insulin. Used to be there were a couple of options not covered in filler. This time, mostly cheap carb items: noodle, battered, rice etc. The quality of the food wasn't impressive either. Some things were dry, most were lacking flavor, a couple things seemed like they were out all day. The waitress was nice and prompt at taking away used plates. read more

Loved this buffet while in Oak Ridge and would definitely recommend giving it a try. The food is made in house and rather nice. They have a lot of different dishes I really like and look for when going to a Chinese restaurant. The people are kind and helpful. The prices are also very fair for the variety and selection available. They have the most amazing Rangoons too! read more

The food and staff were Great will go back soon Love Eating There so much to choose From very impressed The staff had it all covered with seeing if need anything will be recommending to everyone i know ..... RT read more

Great place to take the whole fam! Me and my boyfriend go here all the time; great service, great food. The servers are super friendly and attentive. The food is always fresh and hot as I think they replace it every half hour or so. Cute little coin fountain as you walk in that I'm sure kids will love. Really relaxing dim-ish lighting inside. TV's and subtle music. From salads to seafood to Asian to American, this is THE buffet to go to!! (not to mention its only 15$ a person with discounts for children and elderly!) read more

You wouldn't expect this high of a rating for a Chinese buffet but this one is pretty good! Lots of actually authentic Chinese stuff like egg custard bao and steamed sticky rice balls filled with red bean, and the standard American Chinese stuff is pretty good too! The place looks like it came out of the 1960s Brutalist style outside all concrete and rough on the outside but it's a strangely cozy place inside. Nice waterfall at the entrance and the tables are rustic live wood slices. It's nice and everyone working there was very friendly. read more

This Asian buffet has a very large selection of cuisines and dishes. There is sushi, Chinese fare, some American and a Mongolian bbq grill. I suggest the Mongolian bbq and creating your own dish. The price is reasonable at $8 for lunch and $10 for dinner. read more

Golden Oak Grill Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Stumbled on to this place trying to get to Freddies! So glad we did! The restaurant itself is huge! And very clean! The buffet is one of the biggest I've seen! And they have everything! Or so it seems. The salad bar portion of it was definitely one of the biggest I've seen at a Chinese buffet! Plus there are pre-mafe salads like potatoe and macaroni and a few others. The sushi portion of the buffet was stocked and there were many different selections. Every one I tried was delicious and fresh! And they didn't scimp on the wasabi and ginger! Huge bowels of each plus plastic cups for soy sauce! Of course they have a Mongolian BBQ section, which I didn't try this time but I definitely will next time! Everything looked very fresh! They had several soups to chose from, 2 different types of egg rolls and just about evei between. The dumplings were delicious. I can't wait to go back to try what I missed today!!! Trust me, you want to try this place!!!! read more

This is the best Chinese buffet I've ever been to. The selection is huge and the restaurant is clean. The food was hot and fresh, it is pricey, but worth it to me. read more

Don't go here. They have critters. The food is great. The prices are good, but the insects is not good. Unfortunately we will not go back.

Went there with a group of 4, the meal was overall good for 3 out of 4 people due to the fact that one of us grabbed something from the buffet bar which tasted and smelled to be expired, all four of us tried said meat and all 4 got sick, one of us even threw up in the bathroom. The staff overall were generally nice and I would go back a second time however I would be more cautious as to avoid anything else which could potentially be expired. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, enjoyed the decor as well. read more

Charged me extra for seafood , when grabbing lunch for work break , off the buffet ...

Amazing people very freindly been going there since I was a little kid and still go to this day there food is always fresh and tasty so many options and a lot of good sushi, they definitely get a 5 star in my book read more

You know. This place isn't half bad. Of course you have mega doubts walking in because the furnishings are worn and the place is not exactly ..ahem...upscale looking. But for ~$10 during the lunch buffet you can get a huge plate full of food. The chinese food section is not super flavorful. But the soups are good and the fried egg rolls are good.The american food section tastes as good as any cafeteria. The sushi section has variety. And the desserts include pastries, frozen yogurt and fruits. Actually, I'm thrilled they have a good salad section. Pick your greens and veggies and dressing and cheese and nuts and all the fixings just how you like it. Service was attentive and constantly asks if you need a refill. Since it's Oak Ridge and never crowded it's always easy in and easy out here. There you have it, folks. read more

I absolutely love Chinese food. I have since I was about 12 years old. Many restaurants of this theme have come and gone in my little hometown of Oak Ridge. Well, it's 2021 and I'm here to tell you over the last three or four years Golden Oak is the best in Tennessee for a great buffet experience. Wonderful staff, amazing food choices, excellent soups!! Some really good American cuisine choices if your not in the mood for the oriental cuisine for that day. So plenty of high quality food choices for you or the Chinese food enthusiast in your family!! Many blessings and Happy Holidays read more

I get that NYC has some awesome food so coming to East Tennessee expecting decent Chinese is a stretch; it must be searched for. So I ordered pick up (thanks Covid). The lady who took my order was sweet and said my order should be 15 minutes. Anyway I was late getting to pick up my order and was surprised that I had to still wait. The food was "meh" at best. If you are into small shrimps and over cooked, bland lo mein this is the place for you! Also the inside really stinks badly. read more

Great restaurant. Good food. Good service. Great value. One of my families favorite. Good dining atmosphere.

Extremely overpriced for what it is. Food was just alright and that's on a buffet standard. Price was outrageous because of covid. Service was not great. I'd say you get what you pay for but this is definitely not true here. Find a better buffet. read more

Less than $12 for well stocked lunch buffet including sushi, popcorn shrimp, catfish, and all the usual Chinese dishes. Food was hot and fresh. Good value. read more

I came here on a Saturday lunch and it was decently packed. You pay for your meal beforehand too - just a heads up. The restaurant itself was very spacious and its just one continuous long line of food. It has all the classics and more you see at a typical Chinese buffet. The custard buns and dumplings were definitely my favorites. There was also a sushi and salad bar. Tons of options for dessert too (soft serve, tiny pastries, & frozen yogurt). Staff was incredibly kind and I loved that too. Overall a really solid Chinese buffet in Oak Ridge. read more
