One of the biggest pluses of Gohan AYCE was the variety of food. They have an assortment of cuisines like Japanese, Chinese, American BBQ, and Mongolian food. I enjoyed their plantains, chow mein, and pho the most. Aside from the food, the place is VERY clean. I can see floors being swept constantly and the buffet lines being wiped every so often. The workers were quick to get rid of any plates off our table. Rylee was very helpful as he was constantly checking in on us. If you're in the area, this a great new edition to Gilroy! read more

I had a great experience at Gohan. There are so many great food options and the service was great. Our server Rylee was super helpful and kind! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

This place is worth my money and super clean. The food is also very delicious. The service is also great.

I love how they have 5 different thing to eat which is sushi, pho , Mongolian , beef , shrimp , fruit and dessert's... so yummy The place is so good to eat the cooks are friendly and I could tell they do their job with love and they are Latinos so I could talk to them in Spanish. They prep everything so great and with love The food comes out so good I will be coming back soon my partner and my daughters love it read more

The food here is pretty mid. There are a lot of options but nothing is good. The Mongolian bbq and pho is decent so if you eat a lot of that, you'll get your moneys worth. I'd like to see them improve the food quality. A lot of items were bland or too breaded. The prime rib was extra dry and their char siu flavored meat was tougher than jerky. Not sure I'd come back but at this price point, it's worth trying at least once. read more

Follow up visit, I stopped in at peak lunch time (12:45 p.m.) and the dining room was only about one-third full. My first thought was that famous movie line: "I've got a bad feeling about this..." Unfortunately, that feeling turned out to be justified. The cold food area seems to have taken a step backward. Several better items have been replaced with a couple of additional sushi selections that looked like they'd been sitting there since the doors opened. The hot food was the real disappointment. The chow mein was dry, the green beans were bordering on inedible, the Korean short ribs were tough, the char siu ribs were overwhelmingly salty, and the "fried rice" was so dry it felt more like yesterday's leftovers than fried rice. To be fair, there were two shrimp dishes that were actually quite good. For the Mongolian grill, I also intentionally avoided most of the vegetables due to the current cyclospora concerns in the U.S.--better safe than sorry. But the finished plate was not great. If I had to summarize the buffet in one phrase, it would be: Uber salty. Nearly every hot dish seemed to rely on salt instead of flavor. Dessert didn't improve things much. The egg tart tasted as if someone had soaked it in water before serving it. The packaged strawberry ice cream cup and the small cakes were decent enough. On the bright side, the included pineapple juice was refreshing and not overly sweet. The service was still friendly, although the staff seemed a bit defeated--perhaps because there were so few customers. I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but unless something changes dramatically, I'd honestly be surprised if this restaurant is still here a year after opening. Doubt I will give a third try...hmm, maybe there's really something cursed about this location? read more

After returning many times the prime rib is still great not dry or hard. Fresh cut pineapple is also ok. The only problem is some of the sea food is imitation and not real in look and taste. Some of the sushi is old with imitation fish noticing the color fading. Other items are ok. Look before you eat. read more

AYCE spot next to Gilroy Premium Outlets! Gohan AYCE is such a solid stop if you're shopping nearby and want a big meal before or after. For $19.95 lunch and $24.95 dinner and weekends, get Mongolian BBQ station Pho station Prime rib station Sushi rolls Asian hot food selection like fried rice, spring rolls, dumplings and many more. Great variety for around $25, I love the Mongolian bbq (a little salty, so I'd get less sauce) and pho station, perfect if your group wants a little bit of everything. The move is definitely outlet shopping then AYCE recovery meal! read more

Got here a little bit after they opened but they weren't done getting ready yet. Still had to wait for more than half the foods to be put out. Food was all nice and hot, but the flavors was basic. The fried chicken wings was really crispy and needed more seasoning. The Pho station was cool, and came out steaming hot. Not bad for a buffet. read more

From the 101 highway northbound in Gilroy, we saw that there is a new all you can eat spot. We decided to check it out. We arrived to Gohan AYCE Buffet on a Sunday afternoon for late lunch recently. The buffet is located at the Gilroy outlets area across from Home Depot and Ashley's Furniture. Parking is easy and accessible in the parking lot out front. The restaurant looked clean and had sleek modern decor. There are plenty of booths for dine in and outdoor tables for dining outdoors. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and family friendly. I was happy to see that this was a different, unique, and not your typical Asian buffet type of restaurant. There was a Mongolian bbq station, Pho station, Chinese and American food station, and a sushi station. Dessert, fruit, ice cream, and soda, water dispenser had their own station as well. I ended up grabbing a plate from the Mongolian bbq station, a bowl from the Pho station and a plate from the Chinese American food station. I knew I was not going to finish all my food but I wanted to try a little bit of everything. All the food I had was mostly delicious. The Mongolian bbq was grilled made to order from the variety of proteins, noodles, and veggies to choose from. My Mongolian bbq noodles were savory and the bbq meat was tasty. It was a nice touch that there was Korean galbi beef included as an option. The pho was also freshly made to order with a beef short rib, beef balls, and pork belly included. The broth was flavorful. The beef short rib was tender and juicy. All the usual Pho garnishes options were there as well. There was prime rib and bbq ribs available but I found both to be mediocre and dry. Standouts such as the fried rice and the orange chicken were fresh and scrumptious. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Gohan AYCE Buffet. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I felt bad though that the front counter cashier/host was by herself and so busy. She had to bus the tables and be the cashier for the incoming customers. It's too bad that management unfortunately put her in this overwhelming situation. Paying at first in the front counter is a nice touch. Also the 10% service charge was fair. The overall price point which included soda was more than fair as well. We hope to be back and bring other family as well. read more

It was my first time here, the pros, the staff were nice and cleared away our empty plates often. The restaurant has lots of seating and lots of options. The inside was very open and easy to access the food. The couple things I didn't like is that most of the food was cold and it wasn't refilled very often so I never got a chance to eat anything warm. I did get the sesame balls when they were refilled and those were good but they weren't as good cold. Also, the meat was not good to me, it was cold and I couldn't get my teeth through most of it so I had to give up. I attempted to taste a piece of almost every meat hoping I would be able to eat something but I was not successful. The meat I did try also didn't have any flavor on it. The Cajun sausages were good and soft enough to eat. A few of us had the seafood, again most of it was cold so we had to try to wait for it when it was refilled so we could have it warm. The warm seafood was good. The ambience of the restaurant was good, nice location. Weekends are all day dinner which is $25 plus taxes and the service fee so ends up costing about $31 per person. I'm glad I was able to try it but I don't think l'll be returning to try this restaurant again. read more

Tuesday, 8/4/26-7:00 PM Typically do not consider as reliable extremely good or extremely bad reviews of any restaurant. Went to this place based on a flyer in my hotel that offered a 10% discount. First red flag should have been when entering and paying. The 10% discount is honored but then a 10% "service fee" is immediately tacked on. Sooo, no discount, but the bait and switch is in full effect. And it was all downhill from there. The food, as in most of the food, of which there were only remnants on the buffet, had clearly been sitting out for quite some time... dry, crusty, unrefreshed. Most of the offerings were deep fried frozen food items. And for the price charged variety and freshness was sorely lacking. The service was, at best, indifferent. The staff seemed to be keenly aware this place is a rip-off and a fraud of a restaurant; they act accordingly: disdainful malaise, uninterested and removed. Take heed of the bad reviews (disregard the glowing reviews; they can only be false). The negative reviews match completely my and my colleagues experience this evening. Started with a two stars rating but decided on one star after reliving this dining nightmare in my mind as I wrote this review. read more

Was hesitant to try this new buffet due to the mixed reviews but so glad we did! So if you're having the same thoughts, just go give them a try. It's clean, food was fresh, good selection for the size of the buffet & the service was great. You can't beat the price for dinner (or lunch). Great value & great option for group meals. I was impressed with their pho bar. I'm Vietnamese & was surprised it was flavorful. The bowl was big & came with a lot of meat, including a big beef bone. That alone would cost at least $20 at a pho restaurant. If you're just craving for pho, just come here & you get that plus all the other food options & drinks. My family & I enjoyed the pho bar, Mongolian BBQ station, the carving station (the sausage was good), the sushi bar, fruits & desserts (guava & chocolate cakes were my fav) & soda selections. I loved that they had Manzanita Sol soda. Plus, if you want to make a root beer float, you can take the vanilla ice cream & add it to the root beer soda. Will be coming back & happy Gilroy has another good restaurant to take my family to. read more

We decided to give this place a try since we happen to see that a new AYCE restaurant opened up at the Gilroy Outlets recently. Parking is plenty which is important. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted with a friendly hostess. Paying up front was easy and for $60 for two people was a good deal especially since it included drinks and dessert. Since it was late lunch we were seated right away. The decor was modern grey and was very inviting. I also liked the ceiling lights. Contemporary. The music was entertaining and wasn't too loud. The entire restaurant was very clean. There is a Pho' bar which included various meats and seafood. Also a Mongolian BBQ bar which my husband tried both and was very impressed. The sushi bar was okay. I felt the rice was a little dry. And I was disappointed that they didn't offer salmon nigiri (my favorite) although they did have hamachi, shrimp and various rolls. The hot and sour soup was delicious. As was the other hot dishes that were offered. The dessert was premade ice cream. We took it to go to give to our son later. He enjoyed both Vanilla & Chocolate. Overall it was a good experience and we would definitely be bringing our family back. read more

My wife and I stopped by Gohan for dinner on a Saturday night, and it was a great choice. We were kindly greeted and paid upfront; the pricing is very fair, about $60 for two, especially since it includes drinks and it's dinner. The Atmosphere: The staff seated us in a booth that felt surprisingly private and comfortable. I was really impressed by the upkeep. The staff are constantly on the move, keeping everything stocked and the tables clear. Even the bathrooms were some of the cleanest I've seen at an AYCE spot. Hot Foods: The orange chicken, salmon, etc, and fried selections were delicious. Everything was fresh, well-cooked, and hit the spot. Sushi & Mongolian Grill: There is a wide variety of flavorful sushi. I also tried the Mongolian station; the meats and veggies were cooked to perfection. Dessert: We arrived about 40 minutes before closing, so some items were running low (totally understandable). The chocolate cake and cream puffs were okay, but the single serve ice cream cups were a nice nostalgic touch! Overall: If you want fresh food, a vibrant atmosphere, and great service, I definitely recommend Gohan. We will be back! read more

I came here expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised. If I could I'd give it a 3.75 but I rounded up and gave it a 4/5. This place has a great variety of different finger foods and the sushi is fresh. They make it little at a time, so it's not sitting there. I just wish it had coffee & hot tea. If you want a buffet and in the area, come here. It's $20 during lunch, can't beat it. read more

I was absolutely shocked by how bad this place was. It was definitely my first and last visit. From the moment I walked in, the red flags started. (Wish I had pictures to show everyone) They were about to seat us, but as I was walking to the table, I noticed the floor was completely filthy. What made it even worse was watching a waiter grab a tablecloth, wipe the dirty floor with it, and then use that same tablecloth to wipe down a table. I should've walked out right then and there because that was the first major warning sign. Then I walked over to the food area and saw something even more disturbing. A kitchen employee was standing on top of the stove with his shoes on while cleaning, with his feet practically over the pots where food is prepared. It was one of the most unsanitary things I've ever witnessed in a restaurant. To make matters worse, several employees were gathered around the food talking and chatting while there weren't even any serving utensils available. The overall cleanliness and food safety standards seemed completely neglected. I've never had such a disappointing restaurant experience. The lack of hygiene was obvious from the moment I walked in, and I would never come back or recommend this place to anyone read more

A really good buffet. The food was well seasoned imo. Service was great. Really nice environment

The food was inedible. The chow mein was mush. Nobody was attending the Mongolian barbecue. The dessert cakes were stale and tasted like the inside of a refrigerator. I complained to the front desk about the quality of the food and they just apologized. The prime rib was absolutely inedible, super dry and I could not eat it. I wasted lots of money, avoid at all costs. read more

This buffet is very affordable and the food is well prepared. The restaurant is a very open, spacious, and bright. They have multiple stations of food from different asian countries.

This is a pretty decent, budget friendly Chinese buffet! Lunch is around $20 and dinner is $25 you really can't beat that price in this area. As for the food, it's good and they offer a great variety of dishes. The service is decent as well. While the place isn't dirty, the cleanliness could definitely be improved a bit. Overall, it's a solid spot for the value! read more

Hey there Party People, Venturing out and about ran across Gotham AYCE Buffet. It's an all you can eat Chinese and PHO place. Inside it has a great sort of upbeat modern vibe....got club music playing but not so loud you can't talk to your party. Very clean and the staff is on top of taking away plates quickly. It had a good crowd for a Sunday. Be aware a 15% living tax is added to your bill and you pay before you sit down. The Chinese door is good, the noodles were a little gummy for us and the fried rice was a bit dry. The Bbq pork ribs were off the hook delicious. The pot stickers were on point not greasy. All the necessary sauces and condiments are available. But the real reason you come here is for the build your own stir fry and Pho soup. After an afternoon of shopping this is the place to go....just steps away from the Gilroy Outlets. Be kind to one another read more

First time going it's clean because it's obviously new, no one directed us and got dirty looks from some of the kitchen staff maybe she was having a bad day they do have some options but the one in Salinas is way bigger with way more options over all it was ok went for lunch I just don't get the 10% service fee to keep cost down. They have a mangolian, pho, bbq, and Chinese station not many choices on dessert it was 49$ for two adults for lunch read more

The ambiance was great right when we entered. However, awkward moment when your getting your food at the buffet. Employees seem to "watch" and "stare" while you're getting food which turned the ambiance to almost 180 awkward/weird/uneasy moment. The MONGOLIAN and PHO sections were the best! The BBQ and CHINESE sections are okay. The food in these sections seemed to be sitting out awhile and they were sort of hard and dry. Service was good. Employees were too aggressive taking plates from your table so you can go for more. They took away a plate that was not meant to be taken away. The plate I wanted to leave was for sauces and place utensils which is typical when I go into buffets and eat. But, they took it. It's aggressive as after we tell one employee not to take the plates yet, another one comes right after him and asks, which was irritating. Overall, I wouldn't come back here out of my way just to eat like some places I do frequent that are 15-30 minutes away from where I live. Maybe if only I was passing through Gilroy and was very hungry, but I would still hesitate. read more

Well it was finally opened. I don't get to Gilroy much but I knew when I did get to Gilroy I would check this place out. The prices were fair. It wasn't so busy in the middle of the week for lunchtime. The food was good. Service was outstanding we never had dirty plates on the table. I would say this place is absolutely perfect except for the fact it was a little warm inside due to a little bit of an air-conditioning system problem. Other than that, I would go again and recommend anybody to check it out especially the Mongolian barbecue because that's how you get the most fresh food on your plate read more

I tried reaching out to management via a message before I posted this review. They're new, perhaps it was a one off? They read it and didn't bother to respond, so here goes. We came from Morgan Hill for lunch. It's a shame but the entire place smelled like sewage. It was overwhelming & unappealing. The shrimp and zucchini were nice, sushi rolls were ok (heavy on the rice, light on the fish). There was no prime rib, (like you advertise), no regular sushi other than rolls. That was disappointing. The chicken and beef was grisly in the Chinese food. The Mongolian beef and chicken was frozen solid so you couldn't get any out to make a plate. I can't tell you how disappointed we were. The soda machine had spilled brown soda everywhere, it saturated the rug, spilling out from under it. There were signs up so people didn't slip but no one mopped it up. With the restaurant smelling like sewage & the brown liquid everywhere, it was gross. Not sure we'd bother to come back. Very disappointing. We left the very nice front desk girl $5 as a tip, she was clearing plates etc. read more

Holy cow!! I returned here recently and they've made things even better! First up: the Pho. Man, it's perfect. A bowl of that and a plate of BBQ and you're set. Second up: The hot line. They improved their methods and offerings here -considerably-! The chicken wings are seasoned now, and the sauce offerings are top-notch. Every tiny nitpick I had in my first reveiw has been improved. The value for the price is amazing, and I am in danger of becoming a regular! 10/10. Fantastic. Everything I want from a buffet. read more

Really likes the food, great dining experience thanks to our server Rylee. will definitely be coming back!

Sub star rating. Good service and ambience but worst AYCE buffet ever! Definitely not worth the $30/pp to eat dried out food that had been sitting in the food warmers for a very long time (see pictures showing dried out sauce and shriveled string beans). Some of the veges for the Mongolian stirfry were also not very fresh (see pics some brown broccoli and yellowed spinach). The potstickers were so dried-crisped at the edges, I thought I broke a tooth. So bad and so disappointing. (However, we did like the pho broth and hot and sour soup.) read more

Kept seeing videos all over social media about this place so had to check it out. Got here around 1:30pm on a Thursday and it was pretty empty. First red flag. Did my normal tour of the buffet area to see what was available. Saw a worker shoo'ing a fly off a sushi roll. Second red flag. They have the buffet split into 6 sections... Mongolian - good amount of protein and vegetable options. Fried egg is a nice touch. 7/10 Pho - I was hoping to try the big beef bone soup but I guess that's a weekend option. The beef they had available looked like it was at the end of its life so I skipped this section all together. BBQ - available options were hotlinks, grilled chicken thighs, char siu pork chops, and galbi. Char siu pork chops were a hit with my kids but way too sweet for myself. Galbi was the star of this section. 6/10 Chinese - they had the traditional stuff you would see at a Chinese fast food place. One thing that did stand out was the ginger scallion steamed fish. Hot and sour soup looked like it was reheated from previous day because it was all dried out on the rim of the steam tray. And how do you serve Chinese food without white rice? 2/10 Sushi - looked decent but we skipped it because of the fly issue. 0/10 Dessert - typical fruit flavored buffet cakes and pre packaged sundae cups. My son tried the egg tart and immediately spit it out. He is not a picky eater at all so that says it all. 1/10 for the sundae cups. Soda Machine - I honestly think they kept the same machine from Fresh Choice. iykyk 1/10 So to all the IG and TT food bloggers that got paid to hype this place up. Hope both sides of your pillows are warm for life. read more

Stopped by for lunch today and wasn't to impressed. The restaurant itself is very clean and nice. Overall 10/10 for cleanliness and interior, but the dessert area did have a sewer smell. Service : you have to prepay before you eat and they charge you a service charge even for 2 people. Which we thought was strange. Total came out to be around $48 for 2 people which I don't think was worth it. Food : Sushi was decent buffet sushi nothing crazy. They didn't have a lot of options, very limited. Most items were salty and oily. Got tired after the second plate. read more

came here for a birthday dinner and EXTREMELY disappointed with the experience. Been seeing viral videos about this place and wanted to give it a try. We have been seeing this birthday promotion on their instagram: "birthday eats for free with two paying people" and so we came there, was told that they do not honor the promotion at this location. we were bummed, but decided to give this place a try anyways because it looked promising online. they made us pay before we sat down AND mandatory service charge!!! food was COLD and DRY, MOLD on the soda machine nozzle, MINIMAL food selection, TERRIBLE service from the staff behind the food counters, overall a waste of money and a waste of my time driving all the way out here. feels like i will get food poisoning eating here. wish i could've had a better experience for a birthday. read more
