    Better than I expected. I typically will not choose buffet options but definitely wanted to check out all the hype. I do like that they have gloves out for people that are more conscious about spreading germs. The bar is very clean and while we were there, I saw people walking around, wiping the bars down to maintain cleanliness. There were so many food options. I definitely like being able to come and find multiple things to choose from that I would like as well as our seven-year-old son. The staff is very attentive and kept our glasses full. We really didn't have to ask for anything as they kept our table clean while removing the finish plates and our cups refilled.

    Came here with my mother and we both agreed it was our favorite place we visited when she was in town! We ate until we were physically in pain . I'm happy to report the selection you get here is worth the price and yes, the crab legs play a huge factor into that. There were all types of Asian options to choose from--several regional Chinese food options, sushi, Korean style short ribs, Thai tea and other boba teas, sushi. Pretty much had all their bases covered. We'll definitely be back!

    I had high expectations for this over hyped buffet. Enter the building and checking at the desk for a table was a big lobby. The interior high class looking buffet. Getting a table and sitting down I would have expected a drink offer when dining. I had to wave our lady down for a cup of ice and water. No one had drinks. Arrived for dinner hour 4:00 pm and the food I had was not fresh. The sushi options were a big selection but weary about the freshness. Seafood selection was basic probably the main thing to eat here if that's all you're into. For $45 before taxes and tip. I had high expectations for better service and more food option.

    This place is a must do when in Atlanta! I live here and felt like a kid in a candy store. This is a mega buffet with top tier foods ranging from fried fish, chicken, shrimp, lobster to grilled lamb chops, short ribs, pork belly, dim sum, soups, sushi, rice, noodles, raw shellfish & more. Don't forget the crab legs! When you arrive it feels like a hotel or casino lobby - the hostess counter greets you and asks how many. They escort you to a table. Then the server takes over to ask for your drink order. Only tea and soda is served - no beer or alcoholic beverages. The Asian teas (Milk Tea, Thai Tea, etc.) are included in the buffet. The ambiance is big screens, bright lights, Asian decor, Asian music (K-Pop) and it's busy. I went on a holiday Monday - President's Day for lunch but they got us - it was dinner prices! Oh well - still worth the trip. Pro Tips: Go easy on each plate to avoid waste. Try something different. Top it off with dessert. Check online for prices during holidays - lunch is usually the better option for your budget. Bottled drinks are included but a fee if you take it to go. I'll definitely return with my family or for a celebration.

    My family and I drove about an hour to try Gohan Buffet in Duluth, Ga. First off let me start with the ambience and cleanliness of this establishment. TOP TIER. The service was exceptional and the space for seating as well. We came for my daughter's 12th birthday and she loved everything about this place, from the food to the drinks and desserts. We will definitely be back. 10/10!!!!!

    Ugh, I hate to have to write this. We've been here four times in the last several months; each time was on the weekend between noon and 4pm. We never had to wait more than a few minutes, and the food was fresh, the staff was friendly, and it was easy to maneuver around. This last visit, however, was the complete opposite. We were told the wait would be 30 minutes (it was closer to 45). A lot of the items hadn't been replenished, so the food was either dried out or cold, and the staff seemed so overwhelmed they hardly had time to speak to their customers. The worst part is by the time I got back to our table with butter for the crab, it had completely separated (oil on top, water on the bottom. See pic). When I asked the manager about it, he said they put too much water in it. So of course I had to confirm, "You put water in the butter?" He replied, "Yes, but they put too much." For nearly $45 a person, and the amount of business this place gets, it was beyond disappointing to learn that they're cutting corners like this. I'm not saying not to go because 3/4 of our visits were great. I'm saying avoid going during dinner time on the weekend. You will definitely be disappointed.

    Overall Gohan Buffet was way better than the other buffet we tried (E Gyu) in multiple ways. Price was about the same for a weekend adult, around $44, but the food quality and overall experience felt like a much better deal here. Selection and Cuisine The selection is wide with a lot of variety, but the core identity is clearly Chinese or Hong Kong style. If you come expecting a Korean buffet, don't. This should be marketed more strongly as a Chinese buffet, because the Korean items were... rough. Best highlights Sashimi corner (the real MVP) This was the reason the visit felt worth it. For a buffet, the sashimi quality was pretty decent. They had: * White tuna * Salmon * Octopus * Mackerel * Oyster If you're a seafood person, this is the corner to optimize. Lobster and crab corner My second favorite area. They had lobster and snow crab (served by a staff member). It felt a bit more premium than the typical buffet experience. Other stations * Soup corner: several Chinese soups (felt like 4 to 5 options) * Dim sum corner: dumplings and buns * Fried foods corner: Panda Express style meats and veggies with sweet sauces * Coconut shrimp: tasty when you can grab pieces that aren't drenched in soggy sauce Drinks and dessert Dessert was fine, but not the highlight. The boba style drinks (without boba) tasted a bit powdery and too sweet, so I wouldn't recommend those. On the other hand, the jasmine tea was nice. Fruit I appreciated that they had strawberries, though you do have to hunt a bit to find the fresher ones in the pile. Korean food warning Avoid the Korean items. Even the kimchi tasted off. This is not the place to judge Korean food, and I really hope people don't walk in thinking it's a Korean buffet. Atmosphere and service The front lobby was nicely decorated with a Christmas tree, and the space felt clean and not overly chaotic. Service was excellent: multiple servers were actively clearing plates and keeping the table from turning into a disaster zone. Price and value At about $43 to $44 per person, it's solid value if you focus on what they do best: sashimi, seafood, soup, and lighter sides. If you optimize your plate strategy, it's a strong deal. Would I return? Maybe. If I'm back in Georgia and want seafood and sashimi in a buffet format, I'd consider it. I might also choose to explore something new just for variety, but I strongly recommend Gohan Buffet if you haven't tried it yet, especially if seafood is your priority.

    I've seen and heard good things about Gohan, but considering the price, have held off until now because it's hard for me to make a buffet or AYCE "worth it" when there's always so much other options to try around. However, it's also an easy choice for those with big parties since there's usually a large variety, and yeah, they have a big selection. I'm sure it's no surprise that opting for lunch means you won't get snow crab or lobster unless you come on the weekend when it's dinner all day. At least they have unlimited drinks either way, and they offer more drinks than expected! The same fountain drink beverages as everywhere else, bubble tea (sweet), and then drinks you would normally find in an Asian grocery store. They will charge you $3, I believe, if you take a drink out, so drink it all there. Gohan seems more focused on Asian fares, but you can still find pizza, fries, and the like just as you would in any other buffet. The quality is about the same for those too, at least in terms of looks, since I didn't actually eat any of it. Much like everyone else, I went for the crab legs and lobster. Make sure you grab a pair of plastic gloves to handle the crab bc it can get messy. You do not use the tongs yourself to get your portion, they have staff to oversee that. They do give a good amount, so don't fret about them skimping out. Even if they did, you could always get more later. Now, I liked the lobster, it had good flavor that I would find in Chinese establishments, but the crab... some were saltier than others, so I guess it depends on the batch. You could make the joke that it was "fresh from the ocean" with how salty some crab legs were. They also had sushi, which I found to be not bad, but not great. Some pieces have definitely sat longer than others, and they do not put out more for nigiri until it seems all of it is eaten, but they kept the rolls coming regardless. I wish I had the capacity to try everything, but there really is a lot here. I liked that the waitstaff took finished plates away promptly, so I didn't have to be surrounded by my mess and reminded of how much I had already ate. I had a good time, and it really is a good pick for large parties because they have private rooms.

    Not sure what to make of this but in the middle of the lobby.

    Duluth's newest & largest Asian buffet. Gaudy interior ~ new, spacious, almost Vegas-like. Seating is plenty; the trade off is it is a walk and a half to the food or restrooms. Menu selection ~ fresh good. Plenty of seafood. Self serve drinks are bottled; creates a lot of plastic waste. Desserts are better than most. Service was so polite, smiley, and swung by frequently. Excellent. Great for large groups but prepare for $$$.

    Decent all you can eat buffet. Decor and set up is nice. Service is non existence duh, it's a buffet but it wasn't anything that upset me. Came during lunch and was able to transition into dinner time. Good for kids and large groups.

    First time here and overall an above average Asian buffet that is spacey, modern, and quite clean with good service. I would say the food is maybe 1-1.5 points out of 10 above average compared to most other Asian buffets, but that does come with a slightly higher price point. They offer AYCE lobster, freshly heated pho, Peking duck, bubble tea drinks, and the classic buffet foods, with mostly the first parts of this list making it stand out. There is usually a line for the lobster and meat slices, but it goes by decently fast. The heated pho station is also quite nice as they freshly heat up the noodles and you are free to choose your toppings. The meat quality isn't fantastic but it gets the job done. The taste of the food is also overall slightly better, but again still follows the classic buffet style with okay meat quality. Our waitress was quite kind and checked in often. For a nicer buffet at a reasonable price point, I would say this definitely is a good place. Not outstanding but definitely above average!

    Honestly, solid sushi but that's about it. Although they have a big selection, the food was pretty mid. Had high expectations & the atmosphere was nice. The facility was clean and grand but for the price, I don't think we'll be frequenting this place.

    The restaurant itself had really nice vibes as the lighting and decor was very clean and modern. Our service was efficient and quick. The buffet had a very wide variety of choices on the lines. All fresh and all delicious. The sushi was really fun and full of flavor. I enjoyed having the choice of fountain drinks AND fun bottled drinks like jasmine tea and juices included with your dining price for beverage options. Will visit again!

    Severely overpriced , food was not that good. The buffet was not worth it. I don't recommend maybe for the name, but not worth the food.

What really surprised me was not only did they have a hibachi station but they also had a pho/noodle bar station too. You pick the ingredients you want - vegetables, protein, noodles, toppings, etc. and then you bring it (to the hibachi person!) and you tell them which broth you want. They drop the ingredients in a broth to cook them and then put all the stuff into the broth of your choice. I actually thought the pho I got was not bad. The broth was surprisingly decent with a good amount of flavor, and I would have definitely considered getting this at a regular restaurant too. I thought the rest of the food was also not bad, rather standard Asian buffets offerings like Americanized Chinese food (orange chicken), fried rice, lo mein, etc. They also had a lot of desserts like jello, cheesecake, and there is a separate cooler for some ice cream cups. The ice cream was very strange, a bit milky and didn't really melt after awhile which was a bit concerning...
