    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!

    Stopped in after seeing this r months and always passing by. The place is very nice inside and has plenty of room for everyone. The date Jean and everyone working inside are friendly. Plenty of food, drinks and desserts. The prices are low for what you get. Some items taste great and others ok. The only problem the air conditioner was off for 10 min.

    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.

    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.

    Pho - Bowl is big so share so you can eat their other food.

    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.

    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.

    Do not waste your money here. We come in at 1:30 PM. FOOD DRY they don't change out or rotate any of the food. Rice hard. Broccoli dead. Alot fo there stuff dry. So little choice. Dessert doesn't even look fresh. There no fresh Salad. Don't expect this location to be like salinas

    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!

    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.

    Prices 5/20/26

    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

We ordered basic egg roll, the dim sum sampler, combination chow mein, and Shanghai Noodle Three delight. The egg roll came with 2 rolls. They were the perfect amount of crispy and flavor. The dim sum sampler was mostly average. The only piece we could not eat because we found it disgusting was the chicken mochi. My partner said the chow mein was something he would come back for. If that was the only thing he ate it would be 5 stars. I ate the Shanghai Noodle Three delight. It was not a delight. It advertised having items like noodles, bean sprouts, onions, chicken, egg, shrimp, and calamari. After ordering I found it is supposed to come with 3 pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces of calamari. My plate only had two pieces of calamari. At first I was disappointed there wasn't more calamari, but then I tasted it. The calamari tasted rubbery, tough, and no good flavor. When I brought the problem of only having 2 pieces of calamari and they only said it usually tastes like that and I should have gotten three pieces. (So no solution.) My advice to the restaurant, if you know the majority of your customers think the calamari is disappointing, don't serve calamari. The dish would have been much better if you put more shrimp and deleted the calamari. (Without up charging customers.) The servers were kind and friendly. It did seem weird how busy they were when there were only two tables eating at the place. We barely saw them but they did fill up our drinks before we thought to ask.

They weren't dry and not saucy either. The chow mein noodles and fried rice weren't good or bad. The noodles were soft and not overly oily. It had a little bit of veggies but pretty much a base for the other dishes. Like the fried rice it needed extra seasoning/soy sauce and other dishes to pair with. The salt and pepper shrimp were decent size and were cooked right as the shell didn't stick to the shrimp. I had extra helpings on those dishes.
