    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.

    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 ...

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Empty for 45 minutes

    What can I say??? Foods overall okay nothing special. I come here to try their braised abalone but I been waiting for over 40 minutes but so far no luck... the tray still empty. When I asked the lady work there she told me they are cooking, so I go back to my table. I waited about 10 minutes go up one more time and still nothing. This time the woman in front come up to me and said they are cooking will be ready in seconds.... Couple hundreds second later we go up and check one more time but still empty tray. What is it happening??? It take them more than 45 minutes to cooking and still nothing????? Sorry, but I have to say it. This place is suck.... Will never come back and I asked people who want to try this place please reconsider try something else instead. Ps, Suck never come back. Btw, meanwhile I'm doing yelped my wife come up and ask them again and it was empty.... Suck

Service is typical for a small Chinese place, where if you need something you have to ask, no one comes to check on you. When they're busy, you don't get a menu, so don't expect to see pictures and you'll have to kinda of know what you're ordering when looking at just the listed ordering form. I would suggest looking at pics online first so you know going into this. Love the ginormous drinks though, my strawberry green tea was deliciously refreshing with the perfect level of sweetness. Parking - free lot is small. There are some street sidewalk options. We waited a few minutes and luckily people were leaving the market so we were able to park in the lot.

For us, a black sesame roll (could be a snack or dessert), four orders of steamed pork siu mai, two orders of juicy pork dumplings (soup dumplings), and a beef chow fun with soy sauce dish totaled to a little over $55. Everything came out piping hot and packaged well for takeout. We only waited about 15min, which was not bad at all. We really liked the siu mai and chow fun. Both were savory and addicting. Siu mai were especially juicy and meaty; they definitely satisfied our dim sum cravings. Soup dumplings were ok - I found the wrapper to be doughy and the filling kinda plain. The black sesame roll had an interesting rolled look and a sticky, chewy, jelly-like texture. It tasted like lightly sweetened black sesame paste mixed into what seemed like a combination of mochi and agar. The small parking lot in the back is free. We got lucky finding a spot in the late morning, but when we were ready to back out after getting our food, cars were either circling the lot or waiting for someone to leave.

They opened and closed the door for us which was a nice touch because it was busy inside. We ordered the pork ramen, pork buns, and pork soup dumplings. On to the food! Pork Ramen: 3/5 They give you a hefty amount of noodles and pork. They use a thin noodle here which pairs well with the broth. I truly do believe this was around average for ramen as the flavor in the broth was not as strong or savory. The highlight of the entire entree was definitely the pork, which was tender and flavorful. I probably would not order this again. Pork bun: 5/5 The pork buns were soft and fluffy, almost too good looking to eat. There was the right amount of soup and meat inside that made for a wonderful bite full of flavor. Not dry at all. Would recommend ordering this if you visit. Pork Dumplings: 5/5 The star of the show, the dumplings. They were soft and just like the buns, they had the right amount of soup + meat which made for a delicious bite every time. My toddler even ate some and she's usually super picky about meat. Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for the other noodles, the dumplings, and buns. You can skip on the ramen. I would 100% come back here to dine in.
