    Sushi and dessert last plate out of 4
    Gabi L.

    This place is good we have ate here 3 times as a family. We love the sushi and clams as well as the crab and pho is alright. They staff are friendly but the service is just regular since it is a buffet. It is pretty clean.

    Bright & clean vibe with modern marble & tile layout. The usual Panda-like food items and areas kept orderly. No sashimi or nigiri just Cali Roll variations and heavily sauced tuna rolls. Drinks besides water is extra. No softserve station but a self serve freezer of premade ice cream cups and bars. Any dessert brought out as you walk out will be an extra charge; must be consumed inside before leaving. Simple, laid back lunch spot for the area.

    Let me see! You can get sushi, hibachi and/or pho made for you. Or you can pick from regular buffet. That's a win win in my book. The staff is very efficient at refilling drinks, cleaning off tables and keeping the buffet well stocked. The interior is very clean and I like all the different stations. Next time I'll try the pho and hibachi.

    I came here on a Sunday evening with my family. The restaurant is located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking. It was a group of 7 of us and we were able to get seated within 5 minutes of getting inside. This buffet was very clean and bright compared to what I'm used to. The ambiance made me feel very comfortable. I loved the variety of food, especially the hibachi and pho area. Everything I tried was delicious and I ended up eating about three plates of food. I finished it off with the vanilla ice cream. I would love to come back again to try the foods I missed the first time around.

    Located at 2059 Scenic Hwy N Snellville, GA Very very busy buffet restaurant even during the weekday. I advise you to arrive early. Health Score 85 = B on 4/3/2025 The buffer offers an array of options on a typical Asian buffet. They also offer a Hibachi Grill, Pho and Sushi Bar. My only issue was the food temperature, it was just warm but I wished it could have been hotter. The ambiance is super busy with customers coming and going. It was very crowded during lunch time. This restaurant is great for large groups.

    I've heard a lot of good things about Golden Apple Buffet and seen a lot of positive reviews on social media about it, so I've been wanting to give it a try but its quite a drive from my house. We finally decided to check it out one night, and I honestly think it's just okay. I wasn't impressed by the food nor do I think it's worth the drive when there's so many other buffet options around. However, I will agree that the price is a great deal for a buffet and all the food they have to offer. Golden Apple has your typical Chinese buffet food items, plus a few more options, which I think is what has lured people in. The pho bar seems to be the main thing that people are so impressed about in comparison to other buffets. They also replenish the food pretty fast which I thought was impressive considering we came on a weekday night. It was also decently packed for a weekday night too, but there was plenty of seating so we did not have to wait for a table at all. They also cleaned dirty dishes off our table very quickly. In terms of food, they have several buffet lines in addition to a hibachi bar, pho bar, sushi bar, and an ice cream section. There were 4 different soups, lots of seafood options, plenty of desserts, and a fried food section that is probably popular for kids. Food didn't look dried out or anything, but like I said, still was just okay. Nothing too impressive. The sushi was also just mediocre. They definitely had more sushi options than I'm used to seeing at other buffets though. Honestly, if I lived in the area, for the price and the variety, I'd probably come here fairly option for a cheap meal with foods that I don't get to eat often. But for the drive, the food wasn't good enough for me to pass up the other buffets closer to me in favor of this one.

    Finally had a chance to try this place since the hype of social media and let's just say it was kinda worth the wait. We came mid day on a Saturday for lunch and it was very crowded, surprisingly the wait time was only 20 mins even though it was crowded. We walking in got a number and waiting by the door till our number was called which i like how they kinda look for you so you don't miss your number being called that's a plus but maybe they should get the thingy that vibrates when it's your turn or give the option to text you when your table is ready . Anywho let's get into the decor this place was nice simple and cute the seats were nice they were orange on some parts of the place an marble looking tables and a nice wall decor that had those icon teddy bear thingy. The food was a good 8/10 everything was fresh and they constantly changed out the food quickly so it was like no running out of anything it was so many options just like any all you can eat buffet

    I been wanting to come here and drove a long distance just to get here. This spot is right close to the end of the Ronald Reagan Pkwy inside the city limits of Snellville. Parking is very limited around the restaurant but there is plenty of parking from Texas Roadhouse and Kohl's parking lot. While walking in, the entrance is nicely decorated with robot statues. There is a ton of variety of foods which includes a sushi bar, pho bar, and hibachi. I really enjoyed the Pho, Dim Sum shrimp dumpling, Mussel, and Crawfish here. The crawfish was big and very fresh here. They also served blue crab here as well. The pork chops here were amazing! Just wow! The variety is amazing here and there is something for everybody. It was really nice to see all kinds of races here enjoying some great Chinese food. I will definitely be back and highly recommend everybody to come here.

    Great food and very reasonable price. Highly recommend. It extremely clean, food is fresh and they change out their selections often. It has adequate space and wait times are minimal

    Only one table passed before my plate was overflowing. Coconut shrimp, baked mussels, Hong Kong crab and baked scallops.

    This buffet focused on high quality food for an affordable price. I picked a weekday for lunch but got caught up in errands and popped in at the start of dinner. I heard about the lengthy wait times on the weekend, and now I see why. Expansive variety of hot and cold entrees. A cross section of cuisines, meats and seafood. 1st buffet I've seen with whole crab. I went crazy on the seafood selection of sushi, shrimp, scallops and mussels. They had too much to choose from. I saved the Pho and Hibachi for a future visit. The servers were attentive and kept the areas very clean. My daughter needed gloves for the crab and they pointed her in the right direction. They also had self serve ice cream but I stopped at the fresh cut fruit. Definitely returning.

    A long way to enjoy a lunch with extended family. We found extensive selection of Asian cuisine (some prepared to your specifications). No rush, just attentive service, at great prices.

    Me and my sister come here all the time. We've been coming for years. The food is amazing and the…read morerenovations look great! I recommend coming here!

    I'm sorry but I really don't want to be dishonest about this place. So, I won't be dishonest…read more The food is fine. Inconsistent at times, but it's fine. It's a nice buffet. And while I do enjoy this buffet from time to time with my family and I think the recent remodel is very beautiful, these servers and managers need to do some serious reevaluating in the way they interact with certain demographics of customers versus others. And no, I don't think this is a language barrier issue. It's a "this location" issue. They're usually very passive (not unfriendly at all, they just clearly don't care to be there lol which is relatable and fine) whenever my family and I go here, but the other day in particular, our server treated us like we were practically subhuman. She aggressively threw our straws on the table, didn't speak to us at all but acknowledged everyone else around her, didn't make eye contact, and she never came back to refill drinks once. She even threw our check onto the table and just walked away without another word. It was so bizarre, and my family was very weirded out by it. Meanwhile I sat and watched her stand at + have multiple conversations with the Asian table sitting directly in front of us and she was constantly checking in on them and being so warm and polite to them. The manager(?) asked us "you're not going to tip?" multiple times after we paid, and she then got visibly annoyed when I flat out told her that no, we wouldn't, because our server was rude since the moment we sat down. It was almost cartoonish. Just a very deeply unserious, disappointing and strange experience. I don't think I've ever refused to tip anyone in my life and I've had ROUGH service before both in and out-of-state. Please stop hiring workers who are either very clearly anti-black or who can't even communicate with body language at the very least. When you passively treat people like they're invisible or beneath you, then you're not at liberty to receive anyone's time or money.
