When I walk into the restaurant, I'm greeted with radiant smiles from the employees. It's like they already knew my little ray of sunshine would be walking in. We get seated almost instantly, and a lady comes over to ask for our drinks. I always order my usual pink lemonade, and my mom gets a raspberry tea. After that, we head straight to the buffet area where we can serve ourselves. The plates are spotless. I grab one and load it up with my usual: noodles, rice, potatoes, green beans, broccoli and beef, and orange chicken. But this time, I tried something new--creamy pineapple shrimp--and it was incredible. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, it might be the best thing I've ever had, and it should definitely be their signature dish. I love Golden China Buffet, and I would recommend it to literally everyone I know. Every time I go, everyone is so nice and welcoming, and the food is always amazing. Out of all the buffets I've been to, this one tops them all. It's my number one. This place deserves 10 stars--my mom would agree too. Even the ranch is always creamy and delicious. And there's also a really cute guy who works there--he's so sweet. Honestly, if I had the courage, I'd ask for his number. Anyway, this place is a 10/10, a five-out-of-five experience. Bring your family and friends, or even just come if you're starving--it'll fill you up in no time. By the way, their water is so clear and fresh it tastes like it came straight from the mountains--like it was just collected from a fresh stream. I promise, it's amazing. Thank you, Golden China Buffet, for being so spectacular.

We sat down and they took our drink order right away a few minutes later our food order, I ordered the mushroom chicken and salt and pepper squid, the food came quick and everyone was working together, checking tables, dropping food, refilling drinks it was great, I very much enjoyed my dish and the salt and pepper squid was the best I have had. The next time I come visit I am definitely coming back here again it was so good! So thank you and great job working together as a team!

The impeccable service and seasoned meats here set the bar incredibly high. This steakhouse will be…read moreour newest go to celebratory restaurant. There were two options: the full experience rodizio or the salad bar and side dishes only. However, when we were seated, we were immediately told the instructions for the full experience. Personally I would only do the full experience as the salad bar wasn't varied or tasty enough for the $34.95 price tag. The salad bar and hot foods were on the mushier side. I wished the sauces were formatted in a different format as the chimichurri sauce was very far from the edge. Hence, there was a high risk of cross contamination and spillage. The mustard pasta salad was bland and limp. The potato salad fared a similar dull taste and resembled a starchy lump. The tomatoes were grainy and dry. The pao de queijo was disappointedly under the ray of death so they weren't too hot nor crispy. I wished my party got to experience fresher baskets of bread. =FULL EXPERIENCE= We were told that there were 17 available meats but we only experienced some of them. However, we enjoyed how we got to taste them when they were hot and cooked perfectly. *Picanha: one of my favorites. The fat cap was rendered and seasoned well. The meat was medium rare, tender and juicy. This had the greatest beef flavor. *Chicken with Bacon: the chicken was tender but the bacon had a stronger smokey flavor. The bacon shone more than the chicken. *Pork Belly: my other favorite piece. There were bits of fat dispersed throughout so it was moist and flavorful. There was subtle crispiness from the fat browning. *Spicy Linguica: the spice was subtle and the casing gave a satisfying snap. The interior was juicy but it was on the saltier side. *Pork Ribs: surprisingly tender and fall of the bone. The sauce was a sweeter barbeque and the ribs were on the wetter side. There wasn't any smokiness, char or caramelization but the flavors and texture were still good. *Peppered Steak: on the tougher side but still oozed out meaty juice. *Garlic Steak: similar to the peppered steak only saltier. The garlic flavor wasn't very prominent and this piece left me thirsty. I would have preferred a garlic sauce as opposed to the concentrated garlic powder taste. *Tri Tip: the best option for a leaner cut. The meat was tender and juicy. This was similar in flavor to the picanha but without the fattiness. *Grilled Cinnamon Pineapple: the cinnamon hardened around the pineapple, offering a satisfying crunch followed by a gush of sweet fruitiness. The simplistically made this my favorite rendition from a Brazilian steakhouse. This was a great meal ender despite us getting flan afterwards. *NY Strip: this was a daily special. This was a leaner cut so the beefiness was prominent but I preferred the other meats with more fat. =A LA CARTE= Not included in the all you can eat experience. *Mojito: refreshing and citrusy. There was a good amount of alcohol included. *Pudim: great way to end the meal. The Brazilian flan was dense and creamy. There was a thin layer of caramel sauce on top but it wasn't too sweet. The portion size was nicely shareable between two people. Unfortunately, they didn't bring out the shrimp until we were full so we didn't get to try it. Otherwise the service was consistent and attentive. Our server even asked about which meats were our favorites so they could bring them back out for us. There were multiple groups celebrating birthdays and they brought out their staff to sing happy birthday. During an all you can eat experience, good service is the lifeline and this was some of the best service I've received. The ambiance was stellar and this was my favorite dining experience in the Central Valley. The meats blew the salad bar and sides out of the water so I would return just for that. Although this was a pricier option, the quality and service were 5 stars.

I ordered a beef dish with peppers and onions, beef was tender, but there were a few extra chewy pieces inside. Gave my jaw a workout! My other family members ordered orange chicken and mandarin chicken. All were filling and satisfying. Loved the meals were still warm when we got home.

My wallet cried a little bit :( It's a cute restaurant and clean! Staff was nice and I think that's a big plus! They were transparent on how long it would take for our food and being vegetarians, there wasn't much options outside so we decided to stick with this place, we ordered their Vegetable Biryani, Paneer Masala, and Garlic Naan. The vegetable biryani did not look like as picture, it was just messily thrown into the container so when I opened it - it looked like it exploded inside! it also didn't look like picture in the menu, there wasn't any veggies on top so I wonder if they just forgot or were so busy they didn't have enough ingredients to spare? Not 100% sure there. This is a big amount though - enough to feed 2 people with leftovers! Their paneer masala was SO GOOD. This was extremely flavorful! It paired nicely with the garlic naan. Especially since the garlic naan didn't taste like it was "garlicly" but I really enjoyed their paneer masala! I wished it had potatoes and that would hit the spot!
