Good price, it's good if you care more about Quantity rather than Quality. Don't touch the sushi. The egg tarts were surprisingly good tho. You pay upfront at they have lunch discounts.

Fresh Fruits.

Food is all good, so many choices to pick from, sushi and the grill too. Greetings from all who work there, fast clean up on tables, deserts and ice cream too! Plenty of room for big parties too! We enjoyed the food and folks! (Hint go early so u see all the Freshness of the food and less traffic... We went during lunch time, cannot wait next time for Dinner time) Thank you ...

The food is ok, no roast duck, BBQ pork, roast pork, beef chow fun, wonton noodle those classic Chinese food, a few selections of sushi rolls, and the Mexican chef doing the Mongolian part took care all the Mexican customers' plates before mine, even the ones behind me got their plates done ahead of me, unlike what he did to all the Mexican customers' plates, all he did to mine was just pour out food to the pan and leave them there, didn't even flip the food once, definitely discriminate. The service was below average, the waitress wouldn't pour water, she just brought the pot over and told us we got to do it ourselves. We paid $30 per person and this was all we got. Very disappointed I will never come back again.

Prawns, mussels to name a few.

Our first time at Gold Hibachi Buffet. We attended a graduation party on a Saturday held in a private room in the back that seats over 100 people. The graduation party was held from 4pm to 9pm. They served dinner buffet. The private room also has a projector and live band. The food options at Gold Hibachi Buffet was plentiful. Starting with the drinks they offered Thai Milk Tea, Olong Milk Tea and Passion Milk Tea along with other fountain drinks. They also offer several flavors of ice cream. As for the main dishes they offer different types of seafood with both crabs and crab legs, shrimp, prawns and fish to name a few and shrimp tempura. They also have a good selection of sushi, fruits and vegetable salad. They offer both beef and chicken dishes along with soups and sweet and meat buns like siopao. Its very busy on a Saturday as the place is packed. Lots of tables and chairs on the main floor. There's also another room on the left side of the buffet when you came in through the doors. I noticed the food disappears fast. Replenishment of food also goes out on the trays quickly. Great staff! The workers are also quick to pick up enmity plates. We don't mind visiting Gold Hibachi Buffet again when we are on this side of town.

Food here was good and delicious. Nothing much to say here just because when my family and I visited this Buffet it was just good and delicious and that everything was cooked perfectly. I would only say that their All You Can Drink Thai Tea Drink was just not so good. Just needs a little bit more sweetness. Hopefully they can add some boba as well, now that would be a PLUS for me! The service was fast and efficient and the staffs were so welcoming when we entered the front doors. The ambiance itself was nice and beautiful. They added new light fixtures and it looked like this place was a High-class buffet lol. It wasn't too noisy but it was good because there wasn't that much people yet when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this place if you're into AYCE Buffets.

Asian buffet with typical choices. I like the coconut shrimp and the baked crab shell. The desserts were not labeled though. Too risky for people with food allergies. All in all an ok experience. Thank you!

Some of the baked section

It's what you expect from an all you can eat seafood buffet. Good selection. Decent service. Clean facilities. Price was okay. They have a hibachi bar where you can put together your own noodle plate and they will cook it for you right there on the flat grill. I thought it was cool that they had Thai Tea on tap and include unlimited drinks with your meal. They also had a large ice cream selection that was pretty decent. We were invited here for a birthday and they played a bday song over the speakers and brought out an angel food cake with a candle. Nothing really wowed me but I would come here again if invited.

Beef and Broccoli

Best time is Lunchtime, very welcoming customer service, good pick up service , good food choices. Enough space for a large group. Don't forget if you're a senior get your senior discount. Remember, Chinese new year is coming, they will be open.

DESERT of endless strawberries!!

I came here because I needed to wait 2 hours at Costco to get my tires changed. I also needed a place to use the internet so good hibachi buffet was very generous. It's a great place to spend that waiting time plus there's plenty of food. I wish I walked around the whole place because I missed the sushi section. I didn't really stuff myself but I do think the price is justified.

Back in 2012-2016, this was a 3/5 Star buffet with 50% in good quality. Now in 2026, food quality has went up by 80% and is considered 4.5 stars buffet. would recommend trying for price of $30 during lunch. Unlimited drink selection: oooling milk tea, green tea passion fruit, Thai tea (+ soda machine).

Buffet

Food decent if you don't eat much of one thing if you try a little bit of everything you get a good taste of everything like led the sushi,chicken skewer and the ribs also shrimp was good could do better on the crab and some of fish was oily and salty

Turning off lights with people inside eating!

I came to this place, I came around 8ish pm the website said it closes at 10pm. Four elderly came couple minutes before 9pm all the staff started throwing dishes around all loud and just staring at them seemed like they were talking about them and laughing. Then this lady came up to them seemed to be the manager or whatever came up to them aggressively with a container to put their food in mind you they barely got there. And she wanted to put their food without them even saying a word I guess they were in shocked. It was disrespectful and stupid. How would you left them pay in (also not cheap at all ) when you want to close in like five minutes when everywhere you looked said 10pm they turned off the lights with people inside eating. Plus to be more of a Karen lmao food low mid. Pushy ass people .

Empty for 45 minutes

Taste of MP now allows ordering lunch special to-go too? New boss lady/manager is on top of things!

I feel soup is usually not allowed to-go even if there's leftovers from dining, and definitely not when ordering take-out. Soup and rice are usually dine-in benefits. So given soup to go was really nice! What we got this time 5/11/26 Monday 1pmish visit: (After Mother's day) -- #1. Pan fried string beans with lunches pork and pickled olives $12.99 #3. Eggplant and minced pork with garlic sauce $12.99 #18. Beef and Tomato $13.99. Maybe not for us next time. #23. Sauteed Chicken with Bay Leaves $13.99. We've visited several times. Old notes for self -- New Year Day, and certain holidays have no lunch special. The SO did like these dishes before too. #26 Sauteed squid with black bean sauce. #57 Preserved vegetables with pork intestine. Jellyfish cold appetizer is decent from here too.

This was my first time trying their sesame noodles and it was delicious! It was nutty, chewy, and perfectly sauced up. I was even dipping the popcorn chicken in the sauce.

For starters, my friend and I shared the xiao long bao, popcorn chicken, and beef rolls. Our first item, the popcorn chicken, was divine - medium and fried to perfection, couldn't ask for better! The xiao long bao was next on the list, and these featured a more thick but still chewy skin. Unfortunately, two of ours were served "stuck together" which led to them breaking - sad! The last item, the beef rolls, were amazing as well. Not only is it a timeless classic, but the beef wasn't too dry. Between these tasty bites, we also shared a honey lemon green tea. My friend warned me about these mug sizes, and yes... one is probably enough for a table of four to share! This drink was super sweet, and it was definitely in need of dilution to be drinkable. Once your belly is full, though, good luck getting out! The space inside is fairly tight but nonetheless well worth a visit! Easily one of the best popcorn chicken in town!

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.
