    Relatively affordable Chinese buffet in the area that includes sushi. They offer senior discounts and you pay before being seated. Good variety of foods from a cold salad bar with seafood to sushi, dim sum, soups, Chinese stir fries, chow mein and fried rice, fried foods like springrolls, french fries, chicken nuggets, and a grill station where you can bring them plates of meat, noodles, and vegetables for them to grill for you, on the spot. Fountain beverages are included in addition to oolong milk tea, thai tea, and a passion fruit tea. Great service. Make sure to tip at the end.

    Soapy water by all the toilets

    Where to even start, the fact that we were hungry we didn't care and we thought this place would be good. Wrong! The minute we walked in it was like customer service was out the window no greeting just how many and you pay now. Then we sit down in a ripped seated booth got up went straight for the crab legs and sushi which was the only good thing about this buffet. There were multiple occasions that we were not done with our plates and the server came and took them like what the hell is that about smh. Tried a couple more items they were either hard stale smelled and tasted fishy or just smelled bad. I wish I could have gotten my money back but I gave up. We had our fill of sushi and crab legs went to wash our hands where I almost slipped because they decided to throw soapy water by the toilets to start cleaning them for the night. They close at 9pm and we were leaving at 8:15. How this place stays open I have no idea but we will never be back. Good luck eat at your own risk

    Ribs, chicken, corn, steak, and oysters. This plate was actually good.

    Overall my experience was a five outta ten the food was ok they had a lot of spell food like the pizza the fries, the chicken nuggets. The salad bar was OK with shrimp. The steak was bomb really it was just OK. The service was minimal. I wouldn't automatically recommend this place to anybody.

    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.

    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.

    Still one of the better "all you can eat" buffet in San Gabriel for the price and if you're a senior, make sure you ask for your senior discount it's 18+ dollars, ambience is great, food at lunch if you like seafood or not? You're still getting a good deal and if you're into seafood, you can try dinner, it verys at lunch but You get a little bit more seafood but there's still a great amount of seafood during lunch it's worth every penny. Staff are welcoming -ladies upfront. eat all you can my friend and enjoy....

    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!

    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 ...

    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.

    DESERT of endless strawberries!!

There's a private dining room towards the back of the restaurant as well. Parking was a small lot and a covered garage, shared with a small motel. The food was good portioned. Especially the chili beef and miao sour soup. The chili beef was spicy and had flavors of charred pepper and peppercorns. The Miao sour fish soup reminds me of the Vietnamese sour fish soup, with flavors of lemongrass. We also ordered the sesame Chinese lettuce (celtuce), braised pork belly w/ mustard greens, and sautéed A-choy. Every dish was delicious! Will definitely be back to try other dishes next time.

Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.
