I know…read morewhat keeps these guys and one other girl happy, and that a buffet where everybody gets what they want and I don't have to think too had about it. These Chinese buffets even have American food like ribs, fries, pizza and corn on the cob! This Golden Harbor Buffet is bigger than a lot of buffets we've been to. There's a big selection of seafood and sushi. The sushi seems to be rotating and being made faster than some buffet where I don't trust the freshness of the sushi, especially the raw fish stuff. The inside dining is clean and seems organized and the staff is right on the service for the drinks. We all know how buffets work and we just head up to the buffet after checking out what's on line. I do love those Chinese salt and pepper shrimps. They still have the shell on. I'm getting to know this Fresno area a little, this buffet is just across the way from The Texas Roadhouse we just went to. I got everybody fed with out any complaints and that's all good with me. I'd come back here again!

Big restaurant and buffet selection. The service was alright, but they kept the food stocked up…read more I went on a Tuesday night and it was $30.99 for dinner for an adult. My group was celebrating a graduation and there was plenty of space. The service was alright. I enjoyed the crab legs, shrimp cocktail, seafood, and some sushi. However, the quality was so so. The crab wontons were yummy and probably one of my favorites here. They had a wide variety of foods. I appreciated that they had dessert - fruits, multiple ice cream flavors, a crepe station, and cotton candy! All in all, would come back if I need a buffet in the area.

Cleanliness: inside is clean including decor and tables, and ordering counter. This is the only place we order sesame chicken from. I wish their fried rice had more flavor, and we aren't a fan of the other dishes. My order was $160. I asked to please pack it up with soy sauce and chili oil. In house the chili oil is free on the table, to go they require you to pay for chili oil. I'd think they would comp the $0.50 chili oil. The sesame chicken was good and still crispy with 15 minute drive home. Egg rolls were ok, the sauce is overly sweet for me. The dish comes with either plain rice or plain noodles. It would be great to have some flavor or veggies on them!!

I've found it rare to find AYCE (all you can eat) sushi on California. I didn't think Fresno was a sushi hot spot or anything. So, I came here with a couple of others that wanted to try it out. Dinner was the better option as it offers all of the traditional sushi and sashimi. We got seated just fine by the friendly host and I hear this place can get pretty crowded. Looking over then menu I notice it's more mainstream oriented, like for people who just order rolls cause that's what they think sushi is. No super exotic fish or anything or even salmon roe (Ikura). The menu lists the fish on top of rice pieces as "sushi" instead of nigiri. I'm surprised sashimi, (fish and no rice) is offered on the AYCE menu. Inside looks on the upscale side, so this is more of a "nice" place to go like on a date or something. We all went for the AYCE dinner for around $40 per person. That's about the going price for AYCE sushi these days. I started with the expensive stuff, like the sashimi and nigiri fish. I just got one roll. We were all sharing all the stuff we ordered. Sushi is supposed to be like that, a shared experience. The tempura fried shrimp was pretty good as were the rolls the other guys ordered. The fish quality was decent as was the service. We all stuffed ourselves as much as we could. I would recommend this place if you want to experience sushi and just pay one price and eat all you want. For the money, it's a decent deal.

Went for lunch on Sunday and WOW--what a selection!…read more I was a little surprised that the Senior Plate was only $1 less than the regular price, but with the crazy-wide variety of food, there was definitely something for everyone! From family favorites like fried chicken and made-to-order steak to kid-friendly pizza and everything in between, the choices were endless! The salad bar had pretty much every topping and fixing you could want, and don't even get me started on the dessert selection! There were SO many choices! The food was mostly tasty (vegetables were bland), the staff was delightful, and I really appreciated how quickly the plates were cleared away once you were finished. Definitely a family-friendly atmosphere, plenty of parking, and lots of food choices to satisfy just about everyone. A fun spot for a casual Sunday lunch!

I have never been to Golden Corral and it was selected by my boyfriend who loves GC for quantity reasons. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Sherrie was our server. Sherrie walks around with a huge friendly smile, is quick to offer extra likes cinnamon flavoring for coffee, check if we needed anything we couldn't locate, and pick up and bus all the tables. We felt beyond welcomed and it was a homey feeling, like we were at a friend's house! I am a huge fan of menudo. I decided to try the menudo was actually shocked. Don't get me wrong it isn't completely like an abuelita was in the kitchen making it, however it was edible. It had a clean smell and not a barnyard smell. This is an accomplishment that surpasses most "authentic" Mexican restaurant, and I experienced it at a buffet. The only thing missing for me was tortillas and fresh cilantro and onion.. Butttt we don't complain over here .. so I'd rather not have cilantro and onion over tasting cow ass.. I walked over to check out desserts and happened to catch Alicia F doing temperature checks. This alone would have sent me over the roof happy. Food quality and cleanliness coupled with customer service bring me back to places that have mediocre food time and time again! Will I return: QUITE POSSIBLY... I walked in noticing the support of sending military kids to camp!! This is big for me having so many friends and family who have served our country and the state of affairs during this time. This isn't a political post, this is only to mention supporting children of those who support our country with their lives!

We just had a long day working on location with the crew and we want food fast and not complicated…read more A Chinese buffet fits the bill, easy in and easy out and food right away without waiting. This Lin's Fusion seemed like a huge buffet from the reviews, so we headed over here. It located right off the 41 freeway at the East Shaw exit. Go west to Blackstone and turn left and go to the first light and turn into the shopping center. There's plenty of parking. WE go in and find the price is about $30 per person for dinner. I guess it's worth it, cause the place and choices are so big. We get seated and drink orders taken. Hey, I think they have a full bar here, so one COULD order cocktails with you Chinese food. We didn't, though I think a couple of my crew wanted to. The word "fusion" in the name of the buffet kinda didn't seem like any fusion with other than a regular Chinese buffet was going on. All the regular stuff was here in the way of Chinese food as well as sushi and the Mongolian grill area. There was lots of seafood out, like crab legs and salt pepper shrimp and other shellfish. All my crew is experienced at these kinda buffets, so they just headed up to the food and filled their plates. I like taking them to buffets, cause it keeps them all happy and buffets don't take 2 hours to eat at like some sit down restaurant. We all got our fill and did the full belly waddle outta there!

I came in right at 1600 for their dinner buffet menu. Was not told that a fountain drink costs extra. Buffet has some selection, but 1. No crab rangoons. Was told "We haven't had crab in years." (As I just ate a dish wish crab a minute prior) 2. Pizza tastes like something out of a high school cafeteria. The garlic bread however was pretty good. 3. The Hot and sour soup left much to be desired. Thick, full of mushroom and not much flavor. 4. No salad dressings at the salad bar. For $36, you'd think they'd put some ranch out? Thousand island? You know, the basics 5. Pudding for dessert. No ice cream. Pretty thin pickings Will I be giving this another go? Not in a million years for the price. This should be $16 for one person, not $36 for what they offer (or don't for that matter)

One of our field assignments took us up to the Table Mountain Casino Resort located about 35…read moreminutes outside of Fresno. It was pretty easy to get here using the GPS. Plenty of parking. I was impressed how big this place was. For a tribal casino and hotel, this was on the bigger side. We were gonna get gas here too, since I check out the prices and the price was less than Costco in Fresno! The gas area is located separately from the main hotel casino. Inside it looks like a typical casino, lots of slot machines as well as live table games like blackjack. One thing I noticed is the main casino floor is non-smoking. They do have an area where smoking is allowed. That's better than the casinos in Nevada where it's smoking all over, especially the smaller casinos, you can hardly breath in some of them. A few of my crew wanted to try their luck, so me and the other girl on the crew went to get something to eat at the main coffee shop restaurant. I'm pretty impressed with how organized and well run this place is. I didn't get to check out the hotel rooms though.

There's plenty of parking in the garage lot as well and you can enter the casino from there! I'm so happy that they also build a bar inside. All guests must be 21 years of age or older in order to be on the floor to play and of course to buy alcohol. They make an exception if you are attending a restaurant in there but that's about it you still can't play under 21. There's gift shops, coffee shops, bakery shops and more! Lots of slot machines and card tables. They have high rollers and rooms with slots you can smoke in. I preferable play slots and I don't normally get lucky here lol. Restrooms in every corner and they are super clean! I rate this place 4/5 just because security came up to me validating my ID he assumed I was underage and that literally killed my mood but other than that, if you are feeling lucky go and test your luck!

Also Fresno in the summertime is quite hot, even in the morning. Unfortunately the AC wasn't running that day when I was there. Not sure if it was broken or if they are just not using it to save money. In any case, the heat in the restaurant did not help with the oiliness of the meal.

We came for our 12 year anniversary and the staff were quick, nice, and attentive. The buffet type items were all pretty good. Nice range on the charcuterie. The included mash potatoes were a favorite for my husband. The bananas (baked? Fried?) were one of my favorite parts of the dinner. All the meats were not super salty this time around. They rotated the items quick and we got to try a bunch of stuff. Drinks were also tasty. We decided on the mojitos and I was recommended a mango peach with tajin rim (solid choice). For dessert, we got crème brûlée which was just okay. Easy to skip. Small detail, but they didn't have any kind of complimentary anniversary treat (at least mot for us lol). Every other nicer (and even not as nice) restaurant we've been to for our anniversaries/birthdays came with either champagne or a dessert to celebrate. They did go through with decorating what we ordered though. Not a huge deal, but just something to note if you're planning to celebrate anything. Overall, we'll definitely be back again. We had a great time and it felt like a great date night spot.
