    We had a late night flight into DC. Decided to have some Indian food before heading home. Mehran blew us away the Achar chicken curry was amazing. As well as all the other foods! We ordered several different things so we had left overs for lunch the next day. The service was fast and very on point checking in with us and helpful. Bring the kids some curd when food was a little too spicy. Really felt like a home restaurant. The ambience in the restaurant was cozy I would say this is where it was lacking wish they would spruce it up a bit. But all in all very nice experience here! Also the Indian / Desi Chai is really good !

    This would be more of a 3.75 star rating, but I'm rounding up to 4. I stopped in to grab some tasty Pakistani food to bring home (to the Fredericksburg area) for dinner, so I needed items that would travel well, could get cold and then be reheated. Upon walking in, I noticed they had a buffet.. BONUS! The guy behind the counter told me the buffet to go is $9.99/pound. I ended up scooping up $22 worth and it didn't seem like a lot of food. I asked if it included a naan, he said they're $2, but he gave me one. I brought it all home, heated it up and it was very tasty! Their chicken saag is outstanding! Channa is pretty tasty. Chicken Tikka is smokey and flavorful and lastly, their kofta has the hard boiled egg and is awesome! All items had the right amount of spice and heat (which would be considered 'hot' by American standards), which I really enjoyed! The naan was tasty and easily reheated to be perfect again. Service by the guy who rung me up was nice too. Overall, my only issue was the cost, they need to reduce the per pound price by a buck or more. I'll definitely be back!

The general tsos chicken was extremely sweet and not spicy at all but not terrible. The salt and pepper shrimp was also decent. We went if Fourth of July and unfortunately had to pay premium price for lunch. They had lobster available but it was mushy and basically inedible. Skip the sushi. It's just different variations of California rolls with different colored sauces on them. I often find myself at buffets to relive memories of my childhood, but I think I done doing that now. $21 for a "special" lunch buffet is crazy

It was medium rare and juicy - very good. The baked chicken was tender and the cream/meringue pies were spot on The fried chicken got big reviews but it was very dry, and not much crunch to the skin. Alot of the veggie dishes were floating in fluids and the cakes were dry. The whole experience was squarely average. On a suggestive note, they should keep napkin dispensers on the table so you don't constantly have to flag down servers for napkins.

The green beans and broccoli casserole were delicious. The baked potato was a nice touch and delicious. The restaurant was very crowded and very popular. Service was somewhat slow in getting us drinks and plates off the table. The bathroom was not in a clean condition. We stuffed ourselves but couldn't eat anymore food afterwards. The cost of the buffet was a good price yet I rather save money and cook three items we truly loved at the buffet. This place is ideal if you don't have time to cook and rather eat out. I wanted to give the restaurant a four star rating but had to drop a star to a three star rating due to the bathroom and the hit & miss of some of the food at the buffet and other factors. The fried chicken was too dry to eat. The grilled & sauced chicken was not good. No sauce cups to dip food in were not available.

Second, the selection is huge. They pretty much have almost everything you expect in an AYCE place. Chinese hot food, Japanese sashimi, Korean BBQ, vegan salad, drinks, ice cream. They even have snow crab and lobster claws the day we were there. They also had "buddha jumping over the wall" soup - if you know what it is. One thing is that my empty plates were piling up before they were taken away, but I guess it was Saturday and they were busy. Overall the food selection was amazing. I only wish their desserts are better... I thought the little roll/balls in the frig was mochi... but no... it was something with unpleasant texture - they tasted like silicon... Other than that, I think this place is the best Asian AYCE I have tried in the US. If we are ever in Maryland and in the area we will definitely come back.

    Friday night at Hibachi Grill & Buffet in Chantilly should be busy, but this place was dead--just…read moretwo other tables when we walked in at seven. Hostess barely looked happy to see us, and if that wasn't a sign, the food sealed it. Sushi was crusty, dried out, weirdly gray - honestly, you'd expect fresher from a gas station shelf. Chef at the sushi station was glued to his phone, blasting what sounded like a personal playlist so loud you could catch the rhythm from across the buffet. Wasabi was chalky and ginger looked days old. Soy sauce? Evaporating. Buffet choices were super slim, mainly shrimp. Beef and chicken stir fry didn't look worth the plate space. Two kinds of fried wings in total, which didn't help. Another staff had their phone volume maxed out, so the noise never stopped. Salad bar was a sad scene; brown edges and limp leaves, with dressings crusted over like they'd been sitting since breakfast. Forget the dessert section and fruit; nothing looked tempting. Soup looked so neglected, you'd swear it belonged in a donation bin. Ice cream was worse; just tough lemon and a chocolate that didn't pass the smell test. Only highlight? The hibachi chef hustled to make shrimp, and eggs feel freshly cooked, even if the supplies were running dry. The green tea was decent. But with sticky walls and greasy windows, it's hard not to feel like the place quit on cleanliness a while ago. At least our server has a smile. Takeaway: Skip this spot, unless you're real desperate for hibachi shrimp and don't mind a rundown vibe. This one's for folks who think food court sushi is gourmet.

The temperature inside dining area always warm and warmer, which is comfortable, except if you need a restroom check, it's always cold there. The restrooms also clean most of the time. The buffet food area are the amazing part! They, the restaurant, always check on each food containers and refill anything that's looking less full than the container. All food are served hot, warm cool or cold as they supposedly serve and most importantly all are fresh food from the kitchen. The hibachi part also an amazing addition for the buffet, they can cook mostly anything and taste delicious. The sushi part also has a lot of options and all plates always filled with ready to eat sushi. Lunch and dinner menus are different, more premium food are available during dinner time, like coconut shrimps, seafoods from crawfish - crabs - muscles - oysters also steaks and prime ribs. Never had those last western food, as always looked overcooked at some point. But the most popular is the ice creams selection, mostly are Hersheys in single serving.

I arrived here from Ronald Regan Washington international airport and used the public transportation system to get here. Thankfully, they were open for dinner and I got seated right away. The restaurant itself was not big but not small either. It could accommodate 50 people at any given time. I arrived here around 5:30 PM on a brisk Wednesday evening. It was nice to be here because of the travel that I had done the day before to get here. With that said, I spent a good amount of time eating my way through the station that they had. I was quite famished because of the air travel and definitely was looking forward to diving in. I ended up having most of the seafood related items first before diving into a second round of the seafood again I ended up with a plate of carbohydrates, mostly pasta and rice before ending the meal with a full stomach and a happy smile on my face. Definitely worth coming here because of the unlimited items that they had. At least it felt unlimited because of the share volume of food that they put out on any given day. I spent about an hour here trying to get full value for my meal which happened to be around $15-$20 with out tax and gratuity. Feeling pretty good when I've dived in. Bloated when I finally said I had enough. It was worth the effort though! If you're in the area and wouldn't love a good Chinese themed inspired buffet, consider coming here to this one in Alexandria, Virginia. I certainly recommend this one for sure. The overall experience here at this Golden Buffet restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia was very good. I overdid it calories wise, but I was on vacation. I sat near the food, which small wonderful and Daphne made me think that I could eat a lot more than I normally can on any given day. At least the price was fixed so that you can indulge beyond what you can for a fixed price. That's what I love about a buffet and the Golden buffet here in Alexandria Virginia is no different. The ambience here was very good and quiet for sure. It was just me and my stomach hurting all the food that I was eating. Once in a while, the server comes to check up on me to see if I had needed any water or anything else to drink during my stay. While the food is mass produced, you can feel that there is pride and love that goes into making such delicious dishes every day. They basically have the traditional Chinese food dishes that most Americans would enjoy, as well as other dishes that local Chinese in the area would enjoy as well. So they have a lot of stuff that can pique the curiosity of both. I eat a bunch of vegetables during my stay but majority of the food that I had was the seafood, considering that's usually the most expensive items on the menu anyway. And so, if you love buffet and Chinese food, consider coming here in the Alexandria area if you're hungry for something that would carry your dinner plans as definitely scratch that Chinese food fix that you've been craving all day long. The Golden buffet restaurant is located in Alexandria Virginia. It is physically located at 7820 Richmond Highway, a few miles from the Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport. I took the metro and a local bus to get here, which was okay. The rush hour in DC is pretty much crazy but I made it work. For the most part though, my experience here at the Golden Buffet Alexandria was good and cozy. As I write this, I'm full to the max and don't really regret it at the moment. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have a small parking area for y'all who drive. If you're like me, public transportation is available (DC metro and other public buses) for anyone and everyone who wishes to come and dine here. And of course, there's Uber and Lyft and Empower at your convenience. If you're looking for something that can fill your stomach at a reasonable price, consider coming here for your next meal in the DC / Alexandria area. Oh maybe you could probably skip a meal or so just to make room to get real value for your money. That's what I did when I came. Air travel can do that to anyone. 4.0 stars for the overall experience Support local! B
