We searched for an AYCE after the morning's disappointment with GWL's breakfast. Gohan has so much variety and everything was constantly fresh. Staff were constantly working to ensure food was prepared, refilled, and that tables were cleared and cleaned. Some places go heavy on sauce or have a greasy oily taste in their fried foods--not here! They fried to perfection. In addition to seafood, they had noodles, pasta, and even chicken nuggets, fries, pizza, etc. truly soemthing for everyone including picky kids. Don't miss the delicious coffee cake! read more

Try it for a second chance food was cold even when they bring new batch seem like it was sitting to long also got food poisoning from eating the clam would not go their anymore read more

If you're looking for mediocre tasting food, this is the place for you. I don't know how you screw up cheese pizza, but this place figured it out. The coconut shrimp is basically walnut shrimp without the walnuts. Chicken broccoli, black pepper beef, coconut shrimp, and fried chicken was just ok. Kids agreed the orange chicken was lacking, Mac & cheese was dry, and the noodles tasted bleh. The only thing they agreed was good was the garlic bread. $180.xx (including a $20 tip) for 6 of us. Totally not worth it, but it was our first time here just to try it out. The one positive thing I can say about this place (thus the 2 stars) is that their staff is great. They were friendly, attentive, and fast. The guys cleared plates off our table as soon as they assessed that we were done. Other than that "eh". We won't be coming back, but that's just us. read more

I enjoyed dining alone. I liked the fried shrimp. I think it was worth it and would come back again. I enjoyed the variety of food selections. It was very clean and organized. read more

Happy a AYCE buffet is now in Tracy! It's adequate for the area and will satisfy your craving. It's Not up to par compared to others in Socal, but it will make your tummy happy. This is a sign of the continued growth of the area and glad to have Gohan added to the list of local options! 4 stars Yelpers! read more

I was in a time crunch, so I quickly opened Yelp and saw this place had 4 stars and decided to give it a shot. HUGE MISTAKE! I should have taken more time to carefully read the negative Yelp reviews because they are very true. I suggest you fully read this review for the sake of your stomach, time, and wallet's life. The food is absolutely disgusting!! Four people costed around $112. Insane price for generic and disgusting food that is not even worth 3/4 of the price they charge. The chow mein was extremely mushy and lacked flavor just like the rest of the food. I had to drown the chow mein in soy sauce to make it more edible to me. Don't even get me started on the orange chicken. It was absolutely atrocious and I couldn't even swallow a bite of it and ended up spitting it out in a napkin. This place does not know how to properly season food as mostly everything I tried was insanely bland and the food itself is very low quality. Once I saw that they had fried frog legs as one of their options, I completely lost my appetite. The entire restaurant has a nasty and fishy odor. I was so disgusted by this and their bland gross food that I ended up skipping the actual foods and went directly to eating fruits and dessert which were also surprisingly very mediocre and low quality. The only impressive thing about this place is that they have a little AI robot machine continuously going around the restaurant with bowls of fortune cookies people can grab from. I would say this technology is their only redeeming quality but there is no point in having innovation if your food completely sucks and is a HUGE disappointment. Quite frankly, they should sell that machine and use the money to hire better chefs who can actually cook and season food properly or invest in better quality food. The fortune cookies and fountain drinks also sucked. How is that even possible??!! The drinks tasted very watered down and the fortune cookie I got was hard and burnt and various fortune cookies in the bowl also looked like this. The food already sucks and needs tremendous amounts of improvement. The least they can do is pay a high-quality company to produce proper fortune cookies for them. read more

Gohan A.Y.C.E Buffet - Burnt fortune cookie. Very hard to bite. - Buffets Near Me - Tracy, California

Generally not a fan of these types of buffets as they tend to have moderate quality food and I always feel like I need to eat a lot to get my moneys worth. If you like seafood this would be your place. If not, probably keep going (not that the mall has a lot of great options). read more

Receptionists were rude , no greeting and insisted my son was 39' inches tall when he is 38'. Ridiculous how prices have to be based off of height lol. You'd expect for the food to be good because of the prices but NO!! They didn't have crab. Fries and pizza were hard because of how much time they had been out. Any other place would be better than them. read more

We came here for lunch,paid for our food at the counter when we entered and got ushered into our seats right away.This restaurant is very clean,well maintained,all of the staff are friendly and helpful.they have a robit that goes around if anyone wants fortune cookies.There are a variety of good tasting food in here,i love the seafood selection the most,but no crablegs for lunch though. read more

So I wanted to try this place out. Yelp reviews have this place at 4 stars. This place has to be good right? First impressions, this place was clean. The food selection for lunch time was plentiful. Now some items that were decent. The chicken skewers but without the wooden skewers were pretty good. That was probably my favorite. I'm trying to remember what else was decent. I can't even remember. Now their sushi. Not good at all. Mushy, and the cucumbers were literally transparent. The only time cucumbers are transparent is when they are cut and left inside a refrigerator for a period of time. That tells me some of their rolls are premade and placed in the refrigerator to keep up the stock of sushi. Some sushi fish was really firm and not soft. I don't understand the four star rating. If you're looking to fill up the gut with mediocre food, this place is just for you. Would I return? This place was definitely a one and done for me. read more

If you love seafood this is your new go to buffet. Good amount of options. Very clean inside. It's located in the mall on the side where the movies are. read more

If you're thinking about coming here, ignore the negative comments and definitely come all the food is. Fresh is delicious and they have so many varieties to choose from and it's a very clean place. It has beautiful scenery and the workers there are very polite. ignore the comments about busy wait times of course a restaurant with good service and good food is going to have its busy days that's just expected most of the time you come you're gonna be seated very quickly. I've been twice and I think it's an amazing experience. It's a great place for a date and even more awesome if you have a family if you wanna bring the kids. read more

Gohan A.Y.C.E Buffet - Sushi - Buffets Near Me - Tracy, California

Let's get straight to it.. My wife chise thus place and when I looked at the website i was excited. When we walked in it was empty.. Didn't feel like a place loved by locals. I WAS NOT FEELING THE FRIED RICE WITH MUSHROOMS in it.. I wanted the fried chicken and that was absent from the buffet line.. So I tried the wings and they weren't bad.. my son 9 yrs. Loved the crayfish. Ohh I didn't mention the crab.. it seemd pretty fishy eating the blue crabs which had no taste, And the other crab option was cold and when I asked for them to steam it they acted like I was speaking foreign language. Overall the experience wasn't well in my eyes Ambiance seemd good but with bad food so it remained empty even after we left at around 5 or 6. read more

yummy food fast service ! nice addition to tracy. lots to choose from a little pricey so definitely won't be going here often, but an occasional night out. read more

DO NOT EAT THE SEAFOOD!!! Firstly, the decor is awful-- everything is grey and dull. The designated lobby area is far too small and poorly designed, leaving everyone packed like a can of sardines upon arrival. The internal layout is not made for a buffet, with people running into each other leaving the entire place congested like a high school cafeteria. There's nothing glamorous about this place. Secondly, the salmon is NOT salmon. It is a white meat fish with a RED TINTED GLAZE ON TOP!!! I've never been more disappointed. They should have labeled it salmon-colored fish. DO NOT EAT THE SEAFOOD. It is no good, not fresh at all. They add something to their white rice either oil or butter, giving it a strange greenish/yellow tint and whatever they added to it didn't even give it flavor. Their sushi contains the fake salmon and who knows what else. It was unappetizing. Cups were filthy. And the dessert was SCATTERED to where you have to go on a scavenger hunt to find your options. With a total of 3 options for dessert --an espresso square, fried dough, and chocolate, orange, strawberry, or vanilla cups of ice cream. Cheap, garbage options for $25 a person. As far as food selection goes, there is fried rice (with mushrooms...), chow mein, fried fish, more fried fish, more fake fish, stale macaroni and cheese, and 99c store pizza. If you don't read any of this review at least read this part-- To top it off we went to get another plate and BY THE TIME WE GOT BACK THEY SAT ANOTHER CUSTOMER AT OUR TABLE!!!!! We were not done eating! They sorely apologized but it was absolutely awful. They don't care about you they just want to drain your money for low-quality service and food. STAY FAR FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!! For $25 a person, you're better off going to an actual restaurant. We were super excited to visit this buffet as its predecessor Hometown buffet was the highlight of the town, unfortunately this made the Tracy mall the shit show it continues to be. read more

Love the seafood here. It's nit salty like other buffets which I really like. I didn't care about the red sauce. We thought it was cocktail sauce because it was by the shrimp area. But it taste more like a sweet ketchup. Other selections of food were great too! The service is great, they tale away your finished plates right away. I love their selection of beverages as well. read more

Gohan AYCE is a relatively new spot, but seem to be organized and watching both their food quantities as well as quality. Their wait room staff is attentive and helpful. The important thing is the food. Their sushi shows good preparation and style, more Japanese sized, with balance and good quality. Other food highlights are their spicy fried chicken (reminds me of a major chain), cajun shrimp boil, Dungeness crab legs, cajun crawfish, one hot table full of Chinese food as well as buffet offering of pasta and simple pizza. The key will be how they will maintain their quality when they get busier. And they will get busier. The taste is good and the offerings are right. It's clean and upscale for a comfortable dining experience. read more

Food just right for the price. Selection of food plenty to choose from Will recommend and come back again

Nope. Super expensive (they charge kids by height which I get because ppl lie about their child's age but, it's an inconvenience for those of us with tall children who hardly eat). The soda comes with the price of the buffet but all of the soda tasted like club soda! All of the food was bland, and they were not fooling us with their "seafood" special that was mostly imitation crab. The food was horrible. That's coming from someone who doesn't expect much from a buffet. If you're going to charge this much, at least season the food. read more

We frequent this place often. The food isnt the best but it is one of the only chinese food buffets that we know of. Our son turned 5 this week and he wanted to go there fo dinner. We were met with attitude about needing to see his birth certificate for his birthdate. We had the two paying adults and our son doesnt eat more than a peice of pizza and some water melon. They straight asked my son for ID ..hes 5.... I wont be showing my sons birth certificate for him to eat free where they over charge for what their food is really worth anyway. We went to applebees instead where he was treated to ice cream. We will never step foot in this establishment again. read more

Not bad. Got a to-go box to fill to have food and chill in the car while waiting before a movie. They measure by weight/by the pound by either 1) non-seafood, 2)mix of seafood and non, and 3) seafood-- for the pricing tiers for takeout. Worth it if it seems busy or you don't feel like buffet that day but want something to tide you over. Sushi wasn't bad, orange chicken & chow mein good. Seaweed salad pretty okay. Salmon and baked seafood clam thing was good too. Buffet looked fresh during the weekday we went. Will come again! read more

Their choices of food are good. The place is still neat and clean. They have a robot that has fortune cookies and candies and other condiments that are roaming around. The price is worth it, especially on the weekends. Be there the moment they open. read more

Our first time trying it out. We hope this business survives the test of time, especially out here in Tracy. It seems good businesses are hard to come by in this little town. We went on a Sunday so it was a bit packed. Had to wait a little bit before getting seated. You pay first, get on the waiting list, then you get your table. Drinks are self served. The food options are great, with the standard Asian buffet options, a Hibachi grill, sushi, salad, and dessert. The food is pretty good and we enjoyed it...I read some of the bad reviews and pretty funny these bad reviews expect Michelin star food from an a.y.c.e. buffet. It's a buffet, it's not Gordon Ramsey...the food is still good though so give them a try. The place is neat and clean. I just really hope they're here to stay. We need more businesses in this town so people don't have to go to Livermore or Brentwood just to find something to do or somewhere to eat. read more

Clean and nice atmosphere. The robot is a kick that they have roaming around . As far as service goes I asked for a fork and condiments instead of getting me some I was directed to where they were, so definitely no need to leave a tip! The food was cool your usual garden variety Chinese buffet food nothing exciting or spectacular. But it is nice to go to a clean and fresh Buffett read more

I'm literally sitting on the toilet with diarrhea typing this review on my phone. Came here for dinner around 4pm. Diarrhea culprit #1 crab legs At most buffets, the crab legs are usually in demand. No one around the legs today and i may know why. I tried cracking with the tool, but the legs only bent (videos uploaded with captions "rubber crab"). I tore a piece of meat out and it didnt taste right. I've never had stale crab before, but i think that's the best way to describe these. I didn't want to eat the legs anymore, and i couldn't open them anyway, so 5 legs went to the garbage. I think i did later patrons a favor here. Hopefully they replenish with a fresh(er) batch. Diarrhea culprit #2 sushi/sashimi sushi tasted like it was sitting for several hours. The tempura parts were chewy. I'm accustomed to eating low grade sushi, like from the deli at supermarkets, but the sushi today was worse than the worst supermarket sushi i can recall. They also served salmon sashimi bits. I'm a sucker for salmon sashimi. It didn't taste great, but it wasn't bad. I found pieces of scale, then i found a black string-like piece. I didn't inspect too closely, but i hope it was a blood vessel and not a worm. I stopped eating the sashimi after that. (if anyone is still reading, and is curious, i'm off the toilet for now. it's been cleaned) Diarrhea culprit #3 oysters there were only about 6 oysters when we arrived. i took 3 that looked most intact. the oysters didn't taste weird, but they were rubbery, i assume from the baking. i don't know how long they were sitting there, but i suspect very long. the staff did not make the oysters a high priority. we stayed for about an hour and it was never replenished. so it's likely the oysters sat around for hours. they tended to the awful pizza (note: i'm judging by looks. i didnt actually try the pizza) 3 times during our dinner. i undertand why they would want patrons to eat the pizza and not the seafood for cost reasons, but they could at least make it look palatable. non-diarrhea related, we had to pay $13 for our 2-year old. she probably ate about $1 of food, if that. i don't think we'll ever return to gohan. i don't like buffets anyway, but my MIL does. even she thought the food was bad today. i hope our experience today resonates with her and she never asks to go back. (My stomach is feeling uneasy again) (11PM update: more diarrhea) read more

New buffet in town. Today is their first day open. Had to try it. Very clean and fresh food. Good for a buffet. Very picky with what I chose to eat. I did try a few different things Some of it was good but for the most part it lacked flavor.

If I could give this restaurant a higher rating I WOULD BREAK THE BAR!! Gohan has exceeded my expectations of a buffet and as a general public area. Extremely clean, bathrooms are stylish and sanitary! Tables are clean, every plate and piece of silverware I used was clean and without water marks! Service was prompt and polite and any questions we had were answered clearly and in full. Staff does an amazing job with food prep and presentation. I want to try everything but alas, my stomach is only so big! Prices are great considering the wide array of dishes and flavors. The robot waiter is very cool as well! Minds his own business and can detect costumers. My sister and I are literally never telling our family how good this place is so we never have to bring them with! Just kidding, I am telling everyone about this place. I was excited when they started building and now I am even more excited to come back as a first timers. Everything was amazing, so many different flavors and spice levels. The Cajun spice is not over powering, I can taste what I am eating. Kimchi was so flavorful and very well marinated! The only thing for me is that the orange chicken was on the chewier side but that's just me. I will 100% be bringing everyone I know and ever will know! This is the spot people and we need Gohan EVERYWHERE!!! I hope it gets popular enough to expand its hours so there can be late night eats as well! This was all just for on a random Wednesday as well! I can't wait to see when they have seafood boil. Shout out to all staff and parties involved in throwing this party in my mouth !! read more

Ok, not a fan of buffets but for the sake of our elderly family members they love this place! And I'd have to say I was impressed as well. They have a variety of options, from Asian to American. The kids love the pizza and fries, I know not much to say about the kid options but the never complain when we say we're going to Gohan. They are always fully staffed and will make sure when you're done with a plate they come by to take it for you. They are strict with the whole height things for kids and the price. Which I think isn't always worth it especially if you may have a picky kid who definitely doesn't eat the moneys worth. Overall, we do take our family who visit from out of town here for the price it's worth it and of course all you can eat! read more

For the price and the quality of food it's actually really good. Went there with my co worker for lunch and was surprisingly delicious. I was happy to see they had variety of sushi instead of 2-4 types of roll. The service was nice . We were greeted immediately when entering the building. Will definitely return. 45 mins lunch was not enough time to try all the food. read more

Ever since the opening of this the quality of food has went down. Crab legs are soggy and taste spoiled. Cocktail shrimp seems like it is left out too long. The salt pepper shrimp taste like it is refried. This week they also did not have ac and did not even add fans to help cool down customers. Very uncomfortable. Weekends you might have a better quality food since it might be a little busier, but I would be real cautious on weekdays. read more

I have never been to a restaurant where you have to pay before you are even seated ! The food was not very good at all. No Chow Mein ?? No fried rice !Sushi was bad ! Heard some good things about this place. We both drove a long way to have lunch here. What a huge disappointment. We will never go back to Gohan.............. read more

I ate here when they were first opened, and they were decent for Chinese buffet. Had some family visiting from out of town and they wanted to have some crab leg buffet so I brought them here. First off, the AC was "broken". From the reviews I read before writing this, it was "broken" well before we were here. Second, the food had dropped drastically in quality, in particular, the crab legs. They totally cheapened out and bought the ends tips of the crab legs where there is little to no meat, and certainly zero flavor. Out of the pile they brought out, not one leg had the body of the leg, just the tips where no one eats. I even waited for a second batch to come out, perhaps the good ones were already picked out by other customers I thought, only to be highly disappointed with the same. They were the spiky rejects the distributor does not want so they were soggy, difficult to get into, and a slap in the face with freezer taste. Everything else was a scraping mediocre at best. Spent over $100 for 4 and we all left hungry. I would not recommend this place to anyone ever again. read more
