Note: This review is only for the lunch buffet which does not have all the available dishes served during dinner and weekends. Ok, I was honestly impressed by Gohan Buffet! The service, the food and my experience were 5 Yelp stars IMHO! Two of us made the drive to Duluth, GA, to Gohan Buffet on the Friday after Thanksgiving 2025. I had just heard about this place on Thanksgiving Day while looking for places to eat. Before we left to go there, I called to see if the weekday lunch price (less than $26 for adults) applied, and I was told yes, and was also informed that the more expensive dishes, such as crab legs and lamb chops were not available during lunch times. We got there at about 11am. Gohan Buffet is in a shopping center with a huge parking lot, so there shouldn't be any issues with Gohan customers finding available parking. I walked through the entrance doors and into the lobby and bar area, which provide a hint of the huge and spacious buffet and dining areas. In the lobby area, which looks similar to the front desk of a big and classy hotel, there were three hosts who eagerly wanted to seat me. I was led to a table for four close to the buffet area, and waited for R, who was parking his car, to find me. He found me a few minutes later, after finally calling me when he was only about 15 feet away from me. SMH! Right after we sat down, a server asked if we wanted anything to drink, and brought glasses of water quickly after we asked for them. Btw, drinks are included in the price of the buffet, so you can have fountain drinks, tea (hot or cold), or coffee. Or, you can go to the refrigerated section and get bottled or canned drinks and juices, or Thai tea, boba teas, and anything else that's already made and ready to drink. Apparently there are private dining rooms for large groups of people. I'm not sure if there is an extra charge for these rooms. The buffet area is so spread out that we both walked around to see where all of the different types of dishes before we started serving ourselves, and I was amazed that they came up with many different ways to cook shrimp, beef, chicken and pork! Lots of raw seafood, too, including salmon, tuna and oysters. The sushi bar is very popular, with many different types of rolls. You can also find in different sections: salads, sliced fresh fruits, various hot soups, sim sum, a beef carving station, and you can create your own bowl of noodles, broth and toppings. Lots of foods cooked various ways - fried, sautéed, steamed, baked, grilled, wok'd, etc. Even the pickiest of eaters will be able to find something here that they like. If anyone isn't full after eating, that's on them! :-D Just to confirm that we liked everything during our first visit , we came back for another lunch buffet round on the day after Christmas. Everything we previously tried was consistently great during our second visit. Even the servers were great with taking away our used plates, providing more napkins and refilling our water glasses and soft drinks. One of the things not available during the lunch buffet hours are snow crab legs - I'm unsure what else is available only during dinner hours. read more
