Clean facility, good food and a staff that caters to your need. Kids don't like Oriental food? No problem they even have pizza, B-B-Q ribs and ice cream. It dies get busy with a smallish parking lot so come early and have a great meal. read more

Food is good, staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean and the staff frequently comes by to clear plates and tables. Good variety of food as well. Would definitely come again. read more

We made a last minute decision to stop by when we were in the area recently. Mostly because I feel like it's truly been years since we've stepped foot in a Chinese buffet, and there's something nostalgic about it. As a buffet, they did a great job making efforts to have a variety of options from garlic pepper chicken to beef and broccoli to fried squid to a salad bar to sushi, etc. Unfortunately, most of the hot bar items were very cold, despite seeing visible steam coming off of the serving trays, so I'm not sure what the issue was there, or if it was an "off" day. Most of the chicken options available were also seemingly battered and fried, and this pretty dry and unpleasant to eat. I'd recommend filling up on the hibachi grill before grabbing buffet items to fill in the cracks. read more

Service was great...so much to choose from ..a wide variety of food, sushi, pho, hibachi and then you have salad bar, dessert bar, seafood, chicken, steak, shrimps, crab, pizza, dumplings, soups..and the list goes on and ..we tried to taste everything between Dean and I but we failed...too much for one night...the atmosphere was a family vibe...large space.. tables and booths..lots of parking...it is a do over for sure! As we left the line was literally out the door...good sign..must try read more

I really like this place. There is a sushi bar, multiple hot food bars, made to order pho bar, made to order stir fry bar, dessert bar, ice cream case, soups and more!! Expect a short wait because this place is super popular. While I was waiting, I met a multi generational family waiting and they came from Lincoln because they think Golden Apple is the best Asian Buffet in Nebraska. . I really like the Chinese style pork ribs, green beans and Asian style seafood offerings. Just exactly what I want, and all I can eat. . Pro tip, if you bring grandma or grandpa, there is a senior discount for those over 65. You just need to tell your waitstaff. read more

Had a great experience at the buffet! My group likes a lot of different foods and this buffet has a ton of different options - pho and hibachi made to order, sushi, Chinese food, chicken strips, pizza, and fries, fruit bar, dessert bar, ice cream, and more! I really liked the coconut shrimp and some of the chicken I tried, the crab rangoons were amazing, and the donuts are always delicious, the rest was pretty decent buffet food. The staff was on it clearing plates, they always waited for us to get up to get food and our places were cleared by the time we got back. The restaurant itself looks very nice, it's incredibly clean and there's enough room to walk around the buffet and seating areas. read more

I usually don't love Chinese buffets but Golden Apple definitely changed my mind. There is so many different kinds of food here that even the pickiest eater would be happy. From sushi, pizza, pho, hibachi, seafood, chicken nuggets, beef with broccoli, to...I could go on for days...there is something for everyone. The price is good too! Not expensive at all. Definitely come here on an empty stomach so you can try a little bit of everything. My kids love shellfish so they were in heaven! They also had a lot of fun being able to pick their goods. Being in West O, Papillion is a little far but I definitely will make the trek again for this great buffet! read more

Nice food selection at every station from salads, desserts, sushi, soups, grilled & fried dishes, plus make your own on the Hibachi grill! All the stations are kept clean & filled. There's plenty of room for group seating or dine alone. We went for lunch that's reasonably priced & busy but not over crowded. I was hoping to find another location closer to west Omaha, but I believe this one in Papillion is their only restaurant. There's something for everyone here. Well worth a visit! read more

Weird place. Poor quality food. Loud. Really didn't like it one bit. I won't be back.

Made it back here for lunch on Sun, and really enjoyed it. They had the almond shrimp that I really like and I ate a bunch of dumplings too. The dumplings were lukewarm at first but the 2nd batch was better. read more

The service was good, the food was average-just another buffet. It was clean and modern.

This place is a great deal. The buffet had so many options - a pho bar, hibachi, sushi, hot dishes, and so many desserts! Everything was pretty solid, and seemed to be fresh. Our waitress was very quick to pick up any used plates. They had a lot of seating and the buffet was laid out well to make it easy to get around. Highly recommend the sweet donuts! read more

This place was well worth the price! A lot of the dishes are Americanized but they had a good amount of authentic options and a HUGE variety that did not disappoint in flavor or freshness! I loved several dishes which I cannot remember to name, but tried SO many and still barely scratched the surface. I would love to come back again!! The only thing I wish they had more of was dessert options. They did have 2 small cake bites, and 3 flavors of ice cream cups in a freezer, but an ice cream machine with toppings or even rolled ice cream would be a great addition! read more

My wife is a huge fan of Asian buffets and we've been to most of them south of Dodge. The Golden Apple is her new favorite. Service was good. It was the cleanest buffet we've been to. Plus it is close to home. The food was enjoyable. We both liked the Pho bar and I liked the Mongolian BBQ. And everything we tried tasted fresh which isn't always the case at buffets. We'll be back. read more

The options available very depending day and time of day. The food here is pretty consistent and is pretty good. Staff here is all very friendly and there are so many options. My favorite is the pho, or the Mongolian build your own options but their sushi bar is also pretty good for a buffet. Usually I wouldn't trust sushi at a buffet but here it all seems pretty good. When you have a group of people with all sorts of wants, it's the perfect option. They have a good mix of seafood, Asian cuisine, and American cuisine. I highly recommend giving this place a chance! read more

I gotta be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with their 1) choices and 2) food in general. While the decor is top notch, boujie high-tech bathroom mirrors, FOH staff was great, and zero gaps on the bathroom stalls it just didn't trip my trigger. Can't put my finger on the exact "why" it didn't, but I do know that I desperately missed those string beans drenched in garlic, to go along with the usual glass noodle with shrimp choice. But they do have random garlic bread and pizza! The sushi choices were PLENTIFUL, lemme tell you ranging from the basic California roll to a more, pallet wow of the "Summer" roll (faux crab, fish roe, spicy, and whaBAM!). By no means don't look to them to compare to any sushi joint in the Metro, but if you're looking to smash on other things beside their buffet; solid options. They've even got spicy kimchi! While the crab rangoons were a HUGE hit (more filling than crust), the lomein was a little tough, chicken on a stick (we call them meeces on a stick *inside joke folks, chill*) were a little over done, the bebe coconut shrimp had zero flavor, I'm SURE the items I did not choose (crawfish, oysters, baby octopus, tilapia, egg roll, chicken nuggets, fries, and Mongolian Grill), were excellent. I just apparently didn't hit the jackpot last night. Will we try them again? Probably so. But for it being the only buffet in Papillion at the moment, it definitely draws in a crowd (the other wing was FULL of families)! Do I miss the ice cream cones? Yea.. but that strawberry cream ice cream on the go, wasn't too shabby! read more

Tried this place a few days ago went there around 4pm which is considered dinner time hours. The architecture in this place is beautiful especially the life size fiberglass fluid bear and wall upon entry. Location was clean and there was a variety of food to choose from. The food was just ok. The fried shrimp, fried fish and a salad was my go to. I also tried the desserts which I didn't really like. Customer service was good even though the waiter really didn't speak english well and couldn't understand when we were asking questions. Also the waiters wait around the tables while you eat so I felt a bit rushed. Glad I tried the buffet but I don't see this being apart of my places to go often. If you're a large family with picky eaters the buffet may be a suitable place to go and have a variety of options at a good price. read more

i was very hesitant to try this place but my goodness was it amazing!!! the staff were super kind and even though it was super busy, the noise wasn't a problem and there was enough space for me not to feel crowded. the food was delicious!!!! quite possibly the best lo mein i've ever had!!! even the things i wasn't totally sure about were still good! read more

I had a great experience checking out Golden Apple Buffet. As a newer restaurant in the area, it was very busy for a Sunday night dinner, but the line (which extended outside of the restaurant by about 10-15 people) moved quickly. There is plenty of space inside the restaurant, which allowed them to have shorter wait times even on a busy night. Now on to the food: There were more than four buffet stations to choose from, with the ability to walk on either side of the stations to get food. This was another smart design that allowed more people to go through the food lines with minimal congestion. The hibachi station takes a while to get through if there are more than three people ahead of you. The grill is small and only able to handle three, maybe four, plates at a time. If there is a line at the grill, be prepared to wait. It took about 10-15 minutes from the time I had my food selected for this station until I got through. I tried a lot of different foods and enjoyed the majority of them. I love crab rangoons and loved their take on them. The shrimp, regardless of how it was cooked, was great. Overall, it is my favorite buffet in the Omaha/Bellevue area so far. Prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. There is something for everyone. From the barbecue lover (although their ribs were not my favorite after sitting out for a while) to the seafood fanatic, there is something for everyone. read more

Great food, clean. Disturbing experience: the guy who helps the front desk was being held at and somewhat slapped around by the door greeter. She is a short gal with glasses. At least that day wearing glasses. You can tell he had enough. The co worker treatment at the door is hard to watch. Almost said something but most of them mainly speak their native language so unsure if it would have helped. A female co worker of hers had to make her stop bullying him for the moment. Very sad. Food: -my two favorite dishes the baked crab pasta and coconut shrimp seem to be seasonal or hit and miss specials. It would be nice for a menu to let us know on the site what will be available and when. -I do understand the demand of output and scheduling dishes. It is a real busy place. Please tell the cooks and kitchen crew great job on consistency!! read more

I tried this place on a weekday to avoid the weekend rush. I was immediately greeted and seated upon arrival. The cleanliness and organization were impressive. The food was satisfying, consistently served hot and fresh. Due to its affordability, I'll definitely bring the kids next time. My only suggestion is more variety it seemed like there was a lot of the same thing, hence the 7/10 rating. read more

Amazing food. Staff is very kind. Didn't need to ask anything. My new favorite buffet.

Really enjoyed my first visit to this buffet! There's a wide variety of foods like salads, sushi, and American food, beyond the traditional Chinese fare. There is also a Mongolian grill. Most of what I tried was excellent! Really enjoyed the Black Pepper Chicken and went up for seconds of that one. The only items I was disappointed in were the Spring Rolls (soggy on the inside), and the Hot and Sour Soup (just an off flavor). I didn't try the sushi but my coworker had several pieces and she said they were all "meh". Definitely will be back to try the things I didn't have room for the first time! read more

This is a brightly lit, spacious Asian buffet that has a Mongolian grill, pho and sushi station, as well as a number of American and Chinese dishes on the buffet. An enormous pile of deep red strawberries at the fruit station caught our eye on our way to our table. Our server was attentive with drinks and plate removal. I love all the choices and this place is becoming a favorite in my eating out rotation. Only downside is no sesame chicken... they had the general's chicken so, my spouse was satisfied but my son was very disappointed. The strawberries were delicious, especially with the standard coffee cake dessert. If you like buffets give this one a try. read more

The food was fresh & staff was very friendly but the food was lackluster at best. We didn't try the hibachi or pho but I'm not anxious to return. Price was reasonable for a buffet. read more

Golden Apple is a buffet experience like very few others. Everything is good. The sushi bar is fresh and offers a huge selection of rolls. The hibachi and pho are great. There's something for everybody on the buffet, including seafood, Chinese dishes and fresh fruit. Lunch price is really fair for everything you get. Great spot. read more

First time at the Golden Apple Buffet 5:00 pm on a Saturday. Walked in and the decor was modern and bright. The inside was very nice and modern. We were seated almost immediately. Must say they have lots of options. A number of seafood options shrimp, fish, crawdads, dessert station, fried options, PHO, Mongolian fry and a few regular Chinese meals like broccoli beef, Mongolian pork etc. I hate saying this but they have too many fried options. Much of the food was fresh. The hot and sour soup was neither spicy hot nor sour. It was pretty flavorless. Overall, it was ok, we sure had enough food to eat. If the food had more flavor I would have give an additional star. Not bad at all. Get there early because it gets busy quickly. read more

This Asian food buffet must have opened up recently in Papillion. Stores around the area also are relatively new. Parking is pretty tight compared to other similar food buffets. Lights are bright and seats, tables look new. The food quantity was pretty good but the taste and quality was average. Besides the sushi, hibachi, there is Pho if you want Vietnamese styled soup which is interesting. Overall, this place was just okay, not fantastic. read more

Golden Apple Buffet: Plusses: - Lots of parking, but only a couple of handicap spots - great food selection (primarily Chinese dishes and seafood, but also fried chicken, BBQ chicken, BBQ ribs, pizza, etc.) - all food in the buffet was kept full (nothing ran out) - very attentive service personnel; used plates were taken away quickly, glasses always kept full - large place inside, with plenty of seating; more than adequate spacing between tables. - well lit, clean atmosphere - casual dining experience Negatives: - can't think of any We'll return. They definitely deserve a 5 star rating. read more

Great selection of food! We went on a Saturday during lunch... yep the place was packed and the lobby was backed up. That being said they were able to get us seated within 10 minutes. The place looks great and was very clean. The decor was nice... actually everything from dishes to tables and chairs are nice. I believe the restaurant is fairly new so it looks and feels new. I'd really like to point out the service. Our waitress was covering a pretty big section and did a great job! Bravo to her because the place was packed. Our table probably ate 10 pounds of crawfish and shrimp... we will definitely be going back. Although it will most likely be during the week when prices are a bit cheaper. Prepare to pay higher prices if you go on the weekend. All in all it was worth the wait and the price. read more

Golden Apple Buffet - Delicious crawfish! - Buffets Near Me - Papillion, Nebraska

My new favorite buffet. I tried this place upon the recommendation of several friends. I've been to several other Chinese buffet restaurants in the area, and this one is by far my favorite. The establishment is nicely lit, and looks very clean. Despite being a buffet, the food is good quality and has a wide selection. Highly recommended. read more

The staff is friendly and their service is great. The facility is nice and clean, however the men's bathroom stall walls are less desirable. Just picture immature kids/young adults and explicit graffiti. The food is the main reason for being there. They have a huge selection of sushi, if you filled your plate up once then you get your moneys worth. They also have a decent amount of hot food ready to eat. If either of those are not your fancy then they a hibachi grill in the back. It is my understanding they have not been open longer than a year. It is my hope that their quality doesn't go down like the other Asian buffets in the metro area has like Grand China Buffet and the International Buffet. read more

We stopped by during lunch on a Saturday so we were expecting a busy rush. We were seated immediately, and we were able to navigate food very easily. Lots of options between Chinese food, Mongolian barbecue, sushi, salads, sides, etc. I mainly stuck with the Chinese food, and I thought everything tasted great. Next time I want to try the Mongolian bbq and some of the sushi. I thought it was fairly priced for all the food options, but as always I walked out miserable because trying to eat my moneys worth. read more
