    Corn, cabbage, Sweet Potato Casserole
    Delia W.

    Golden Corral gets it done every time! Can't go wrong with the catfish. It's always fried so well. The cornbread is just the right amount of sweet and really moist. The fried chicken has that down south, home-fried kinda taste. The sweet potato casserole is sweet and creamy. End it all with a few sweet treats and you're in buffet heaven. Get the bread pudding. You'll thank me later. Shoutout to Sussy who despite the self-service nature of a buffet checked in just the right amount of times without being intrusive, made sure our drinks were refilled and plates cleared.

    She was very neat and on top of her tables. I will be back.

    I came here downhearted. Feeling lonely and very hungry. But I loved Brittany's service. She had a huge smile on her face and was very friendly. I appreciated her assisting me for my dining in experience.

    First things first? I rarely give bad reviews, rarely but this place needs a lot of attention. The customer service? was the worst I've ever received in a long time. I mean they all seemed annoyed when I would ask nicely about silverware or when our drinks would arrive. Not a smile from anyone besides the man in the blue button up that was dancing to a song playing from the speaker. I think he was the manager. But the staff looked miserable. Food? The only items good were the fried chicken, dinner rolls (reminded me of Texas Roadhouse rolls) and the pot roast. Everything else? Not a fan! Dessert was dry!!! I mean hard cake and nothing looked fresh. I took a spoon of almost everything just to see what it was like and for what you pay for? And it was gross. I'm sorry. The only reason I went here was because my mom said she hasn't been to one of these in years. And this experience reminded me why. The space of the place was good, good parking too. This place is loud so I recommend going into the closed off section. My waitress looked tired and I can imagine, she was asking us to help clear the table for us, basically doing her job for her. Lol this was wild! I can't make this. We got there at 12pm so they were giving tired and annoyed vibes early so what does dinner time look like? Last thing? Bathrooms are nasty!!! My mom spend $90 for 6people. Not worth it!

    .My brother's favorite place to eat. Soon as I sat down, I spotted a roach crawling along side the buffet. I spoke to management and pointed it out, he didn't seem phased at all, said "ok" and just walked to the back. This just made me sick to my stomach. Thankful we saw it upon sitting down

    This is a very packed location. There was a lon line when I went. The staff was nice, though. Especially our waitress, Keisha. But the downside is that because it's so popular, it's very chaotic and can get messy quickly. That's not on the staff, that's more because of the patrons. But the food was really good and there were a lot of options and plenty of parking as well. I can tell this is a very family oriented establishment. But again, it can be very chaotic.

    Crossed contamination, handling cash and plates with same gloves. We didn't seat yet.

    Wonderful seafood buffet if you choose the right items. Dinner and weekends are $39.99 for adults…read more Kids 3-5 years are $14.99 and kids 6-10 years are $17.99. There was so much variety that I wasn't able to try everything. Lobster, clam, crab leg, oyster, scallop, abalone, oxtail, rib, fish, cuttlefish, chicken, galbi, shrimp, sushi, and sashimi to name a few. The abalone was a bit dry, probably from sitting out for a while before being eaten. The pig bun was cute, but I was expecting custard and it was actually a red bean filling. I did not enjoy the colorful dumplings. I'm glad they also had eel sashimi, but it was not refilled before we left after it ran out. This big selection is only for dinner or weekends. If you go for weekday lunch, the variety of food drastically decreases. I loved their chicken soup and Buddha jumps over the wall soup. There was also a nice selection of bubble tea and drinks that are complementary with the meal. You can also add on hotpot. There is also a selection of dessert. There's also ramen, but the quality is not as authentic. I love mango, but unfortunately the mango in the fruit section was not ripe. We had 2 adults and 2 kids and they did automatic 12% tip and we were not able to adjust (you can only pay more tip). 2 hour time limit for dining in.

    I've wanted to try Umi for ages and I finally went with my husband before New Years. The lunch…read moreBuffett is $26.99/person on weekdays, but I didn't anticipate the 30 minute wait time to get a table. There is a time limit for diners (two hours) and lunch ends at 3:30 pm. After we were seated, there was so much to try. A member of the wait staff must bring the hotpot (it's small, but that's okay because the table fills up with plates quickly) and sodas, if ordering. I ordered the mushroom broth flavoring (none of the hotpot's have pork-based favoring). Everything else is available to pick up on your own (Ramen, Buffet items, hot pot items, boba teas, and all of the dessert items). Staff came fairly regularly to pick up empty plates. Bathrooms were okay, no lines when I needed to stop by. I would love to see Umi have handwashing sinks outside of the restrooms though, not sure where they would put them, but that would be amazing! It was busy when we dined for lunch, but it was not ever so busy that I was waiting for food or platters were empty. Umi also offers carry out for food and even boba teas for additional cost. There is an automatic 12% service fee added to each check, regardless of the size of the party. If paying with cash, there is a 3% discount. There is plenty of free outdoor parking all over the shopping complex Umi is in. I tried not to think of this too much, but Umi only uses plastic/disposable plates. All that plastic leeching into my food didn't stop me, but it made me uncomfortable and stressed. The bowls for soup were plastic too. The silverware was metal and the bowls the Ramen was served in was ceramic. I asked if by chance non-plastic materials are available at Dinner and was told that only plastic is ever used. I understand why (the kitchen cannot keep up with washing the plates, I am sure), but I am unsure of when I would want to return because of this unpleasant feeling.

    I decided to treat myself to something good, considering that I am on vacation. I found Golden…read moreBuffet here in Alexandria and it was open. Yes! I arrived here from Ronald Regan Washington international airport and used the public transportation system to get here. Thankfully, they were open for dinner and I got seated right away. The restaurant itself was not big but not small either. It could accommodate 50 people at any given time. I arrived here around 5:30 PM on a brisk Wednesday evening. It was nice to be here because of the travel that I had done the day before to get here. With that said, I spent a good amount of time eating my way through the station that they had. I was quite famished because of the air travel and definitely was looking forward to diving in. I ended up having most of the seafood related items first before diving into a second round of the seafood again I ended up with a plate of carbohydrates, mostly pasta and rice before ending the meal with a full stomach and a happy smile on my face. Definitely worth coming here because of the unlimited items that they had. At least it felt unlimited because of the share volume of food that they put out on any given day. I spent about an hour here trying to get full value for my meal which happened to be around $15-$20 with out tax and gratuity. Feeling pretty good when I've dived in. Bloated when I finally said I had enough. It was worth the effort though! If you're in the area and wouldn't love a good Chinese themed inspired buffet, consider coming here to this one in Alexandria, Virginia. I certainly recommend this one for sure. The overall experience here at this Golden Buffet restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia was very good. I overdid it calories wise, but I was on vacation. I sat near the food, which small wonderful and Daphne made me think that I could eat a lot more than I normally can on any given day. At least the price was fixed so that you can indulge beyond what you can for a fixed price. That's what I love about a buffet and the Golden buffet here in Alexandria Virginia is no different. The ambience here was very good and quiet for sure. It was just me and my stomach hurting all the food that I was eating. Once in a while, the server comes to check up on me to see if I had needed any water or anything else to drink during my stay. While the food is mass produced, you can feel that there is pride and love that goes into making such delicious dishes every day. They basically have the traditional Chinese food dishes that most Americans would enjoy, as well as other dishes that local Chinese in the area would enjoy as well. So they have a lot of stuff that can pique the curiosity of both. I eat a bunch of vegetables during my stay but majority of the food that I had was the seafood, considering that's usually the most expensive items on the menu anyway. And so, if you love buffet and Chinese food, consider coming here in the Alexandria area if you're hungry for something that would carry your dinner plans as definitely scratch that Chinese food fix that you've been craving all day long. The Golden buffet restaurant is located in Alexandria Virginia. It is physically located at 7820 Richmond Highway, a few miles from the Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport. I took the metro and a local bus to get here, which was okay. The rush hour in DC is pretty much crazy but I made it work. For the most part though, my experience here at the Golden Buffet Alexandria was good and cozy. As I write this, I'm full to the max and don't really regret it at the moment. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have a small parking area for y'all who drive. If you're like me, public transportation is available (DC metro and other public buses) for anyone and everyone who wishes to come and dine here. And of course, there's Uber and Lyft and Empower at your convenience. If you're looking for something that can fill your stomach at a reasonable price, consider coming here for your next meal in the DC / Alexandria area. Oh maybe you could probably skip a meal or so just to make room to get real value for your money. That's what I did when I came. Air travel can do that to anyone. 4.0 stars for the overall experience Support local! B

Our server was very nice and took our drink order and directed us to the buffet which looked well stocked. After a salad I went to get some roast cut but no one was manning the station. Once the young woman appeared I asked for her help and she told me to hold on I will be there in a minute (ok). After a moment she came a cut off a hunk of meat that had obviously been sitting and was so dried out that it had changed color so I asked for a different cut that was fresh so she cut on the same side but a different location that was also dried out and discolored. I asked for a slice that was fresh and she threw down the knife and walked away, came back with a different knife, cut a huge chunk and when I said that's fine she threw down the tongs and it told me to take whichever piece I wanted and walked away in a huff. Other customer standing there commented about her attitude and said they were afraid to ask her to cut them some ham which also looked pretty dried up because they didn't want to put up with her attitude. I gave this a three star because everyone else I interacted with at the restaurant was pretty nice and the food was edible but if I was going solely off of her and her behavior, I would not recommend anyone going there to eat if you want to have a pleasant experience

First time there, and I did go to them, but since she ignored me, I thought I just had to sit. Here's an idea, if all you do is charge people for dining, maybe pay attention when they go up to you to tell you that they're dining and charge them so they can do that. Anyway, the variety of food is great, however, the taste was not too good. The steak, which I didn't serve myself, was incredibly dry. You could tell from just looking at it. It was so dry, you couldn't cut it. The food in general was pretty bad. All of it was overcooked and just sitting there, even though the place was full of people. The flavors were off. Yes, they had tons of seafood, several soups although my favorite which is wonton, was not good. The potstickers were also not good. The flavor was off again. I would say that the best they had was their noodles (lo-mein) and their ice-cream cones. I didn't try the cakes, which they had several but I don't like cake. However, maybe people who like cake would appreciate them. It is very cheap. I wasn't disappointed because I wasn't expecting much to begin with. All you can eat for $16.99 is cheap, but I wouldn't go there again. I'd rather eat less but eat something that's good.

Parking is in the lot and there's plenty of it for free. Service is fine. No major issues. Bathroom is clean. They have a made to order stir fry station which I didn't partake in. Mainly because of time constraints. But if that's your jam you should try it out. Also they have soft serve ice cream but only one flavor because the machine was broken.
