If you were looking to eat crab legs, I will say this place is a steal, for $25 a person you can eat as much Alaskan crab legs, that your stomach desires. There are plenty of food options here I wouldn't say everything is top quality but for $25 including all you can eat crab I think that's a great bargain. They don't have a lot coming out all at once so you may have to wait or come back to see if it's been replenished. They do have sushi here, but I'll be quite honest, not the greatest quality . Plenty of Chinese food options from calms , oysters, fried fish , beef broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, basically if panda express has it you can get it here. Most of the Asian food is mediocre as I would still choose panda express if I had the option. Service is friendly, definitely a more upscale looking Asian buffet than most I have been to. They even allow customers to purchase a to go box. I would come back here just for the crabs since I can't find anywhere else in the Sacramento area that offers crab legs besides the hard rock Casino, but that's twice the price of here. read more

Golden Koi Buffet - Crab legs - Buffets Near Me - Roseville, California

We came here hoping for quality over quantity. The place itself is large--definitely outdated--but it looked decent enough, and the staff was kind and welcoming. It also wasn't very busy, so we wanted to give it a fair shot. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill fast once we sat down to eat. The sweet-and-sour soup was extremely oily and had an off taste. More concerning, nearly all of the food on the buffet was cold. The only thing remotely warm was the soup. When we brought it up, the server explained they were transitioning between lunch and dinner and offered for us to wait while they replaced the food. I appreciate the offer, but that doesn't excuse having a buffet--especially with seafood, poultry, and meat--sitting out cold. That's not just unappetizing, it raises serious health concerns. We chose not to stay and eat. Again, the staff was polite, but food safety and quality just weren't there. read more

Golden Koi Buffet has usually been one of my most fave buffets when I'm down here in the Roseville area. But last time I was quite disappointed with the roast duck that was supposed to be included with the buffet at no extra cost. The rest of the foods like the wings and ribs were still fab. But I decided to give the place another try, since I'm down here on a work location with my crew, and I know one way to keep everybody happy is a buffet where everyone can just choose what they wanna eat. Well, OK, I just had to check out the duck and it was way better than it was last time. The dish at the buffet was all nicely put together and not all wrecked like last time. I was able to get a bunch of nice pieces to eat. Plus I loaded up on ribs. They have the best dang pork ribs here with a wonderful barbeque sauce. The service was the same efficient plate clearers, not much talk from them. The crew was happy so I'm happy, paid the bill and I've restored my faith on Golden Koi Buffet here on Roseville, "I'll be back", as our former governor says! read more

Golden Koi Buffet - Nice roast duck better than last time! - Buffets Near Me - Roseville, California

Golden Koi Buffet is an all you can eat restaurant with a large variety of Asian food, including lots of seafood such as crab, oysters, salmon and tuna sashimi, Cajun seafood boil, clams, mussels, plus lot of Chinese hot food options. There's also a soft serve machine, ice cream, desserts, salads, soups, and a grill station for steaks, oysters, and other raw meats. We came on a Saturday for lunch and there was no wait for a table. I enjoyed the crab legs, cooked oysters, and sashimi. For dessert, the mango jello was pretty good. I also had some fresh fruit including lychee. For adults, the price was $25 for dinner, weekends, and holidays. Lunch on the weekdays is about $16. Drinks are extra. Since it's a buffet, I wouldn't say the quality was the best, but it was still enjoyable. My stomach disagreed with something I ate, but wasn't sure what it was since nothing tasted bad. The restaurant was a little sticky and the ambiance was average. Service was okay, not too attentive. read more

Came to Golden Koi for Christmas lunch with family and loved the variety of food for their Christmas feast buffet. It was $28.99 for adults, but $25.99 for seniors. They had whole steamed fish, crab, raw oysters, sushi, dim sum, soup, and variety of desserts. The sashimi was delicious, especially the salmon and white tuna. The oysters were humongous and the steamed fish was good but had little bones. Service was pretty attentive and they cleared our plates often. read more

Went here for lunch on Christmas Eve. It's your typical Chinese food buffet. Nothing fancy. No frills. It does the job. The wings were great. Very juicy and tender and crispy. I would probably go back and order those separately. For $16, I left feeling very full. Not bad for lunch. read more

The food was so good. There was a huge variety of different foods like sushi and pizza and so much more! The waiters were nice and took our dirty dishes almost as soon as she saw them. They even gave us some free fortune cookies at the end of the meal! Over all, I'll be coming back here for sure!!! read more

Still love the place, but I noticed that their price is creeping up quite aggressively. We used to pay $39.63 (lunch for 2, including tax and 15% tip) back in December, and now we just paid $43.60. That's a 10% rise in 5 months. Still worth it, but I hope this place don't do what others in our area did - raise their prices to the point where its no longer a bargain restaurant. read more

First time here. The decor is a typical Chinese buffet. The service was good. They have stir fry and grill per your choice of what to cook. There are tons of options. The food is fresh and hot and not been sitting around which is good. Overall it was a good experience and we would return. read more

Eureka! We found our go to local buffet that serves snow crab legs for dinner and all day for holidays! For me, this is an AYCE buffet - not a fine dining restaurant with specialties and superior customer service. I'm here to eat, satisfy my inner McFatty, and leave happy with a food coma. That's exactly what we experienced when we finally decided to give this spot a try. Don't let the low ratings deter you from trying Golden Koi Buffet - everyone has their own personal preferences! The food was hot, excellent, delicious, and fulfilling. We especially loved their snow crab legs, freshly grilled mackerel and oysters topped off with tons of garlic sauce (just thinking about it is making my mouth water), wide selection of food, and awesome option to either have soft serve ice cream in-house or small ice cream cups to go! We were so pleased to see that we didn't have to wait long for crab legs refills... they were way more prompt with refills compared to many other buffets we've experienced! Fried rice had excellent texture (not dry), sushi selection is limited but is certainly enough to satisfy your cravings. Crab legs were a tad on the salty side, so try to even it out with their melted butter and slather it with a squeeze of lemon. They can provide crab leg crackers upon request. For the freshly grilled food section (e.g., raw oysters, raw mackerel, raw beef, noodles, etc.), just plop your food on a place and place it next to the grilling section out in the open. For the oysters, chef will automatically top them off with a scoop of minced garlic. Pure deliciousness! Stick around a bit to make sure the chef acknowledges your plate and places it on the grill. No need to wait - chef will ring a bell when food items are done so you can walk around to gather more scrumptious food or even sit at your table for a few minutes before checking again. Plenty of parking out front, spacious tables and seating arrangements, clean bathrooms and serving stations, cozy and comfortable ambiance for gatherings with friend and family or solo of course, and, although we don't expect superior customer service at buffets, we were quite surprised with their friendly and attentive staff. Coming from a recent SoCal resident now permanent in Roseville, this was a pleasant adjustment. $24.99 for dinner. Kids 5 and below (or below 5? Don't quote me on this) are free, including their drinks. Just be sure to check your receipt for accuracy as we identified 5 lemonades charged but truly only ordered 1 lemonade drink for an adult (lemonade for our toddlers but again - free food and drinks for 5 and below!). We compared this to the buffet out in Folsom (and our favorite one down in SoCal) and, thankfully, this one was more to our liking and much closer to Blue Oaks area. Overall, we're extremely grateful this buffet is close to home and has everything we were hoping to find at a local Asian buffet! Highly recommended for patrons near and far. Photos don't do this location justice - food is absolutely delicious and we're definitely regulars now. read more

Lunch with family. We met up with my uncle at this buffet in Roseville last month. We haven't gone here for a while. This is still one of our favorites spots while in the area.

The food is average nothing spectacular. The service was great our waitress checked on us frequently. If you like Panda Express then most of the food is similar. The seafood was the highlight for most people with crab and mussels. They do keep the sushi coming fresh. Desserts were horrible cookies looked like store bought and hard not fresh. The restaurant itself is not super clean but it's doable if you are hungry and don't look around much. The plates are cleaned but are dripping wet when you grab one so not steam dried like other places. As for being a buffet there are a lot spills and that is understandable. Price seems cheap but I think it's expensive for the quality of food and upkeep of the restaurant. read more

Go to buffet! The staff is always SO SWEET, so attentive, and everything is always clean and ready to go. The food options are always great, full, and fresh. I love the kind man at the sushi station.

Located 5 minutes away from Topgolf. Plenty of parking and nearby shopping plazas. No wait times. Attentive service. read more

Golden Koi Buffet - Front counter - Buffets Near Me - Roseville, California

We had high hopes for this place. We were very disappointed. The food was old and not at an appropriate temp. We should have know, as soon as we walked in they had all the green state issues "passing" posters on the front wall very viable as that would make it better. Anyway, don't waste your money. read more

Family dinner and first time here. Wife wanted to try it and we're glad we did. The seafood selection was awesome! All the kids enjoyed the variety. We're generally weary of buffets but this one did not disappoint. Plenty of options for every person. The place was clean and the decor fit the atmosphere. There was plenty of room to maneuver as well throughout. I've been at places that cram you in and it can get dicey with a full plate of food. The staff were really nice and helpful. Our waitress was constantly coming around picking up empty plates and checking drinks. Coming back for sure. Lastly, the value for the price is amazing. read more

The one star is for the broccoli beef and chow mein, which weren't bad. This place gives ghetto, you wouldn't guess it because of the area and it actually looks nice on the outside. It doesn't seem very sanitary, the section we sat at you have to cross in front of the bathrooms to get back to your seat, I hated that. I just smelled the bathroom freshener every time I passed with a plate it was gross. We came for AYCE Crab legs and as sad as this is to say, it just wasn't worth it... not even for the 25 dollars. They don't steam them well so they're inconsistently cooked some cold some warm but none that are HOT. It seems so steamy and hot when you serve yourself but as soon as you sit you then realize how cold everything is. It's tasteless musty and just seems like they pickup in there and not really sanitize or clean properly. We will positively NOT be back read more

Golden Koi Buffet has definitely stepped up their game. probably cos of all the new buffet competition around. The service is still excellent like always, but the real surprise was the updated food selection. Lots of new options, and everything we tried was fresh and tasty. The big highlight? Massive dinosaur ribs that were super tender and flavorful. Solid spot if you're hungry and want variety without the wait. read more

I need to update and boost the ratings for Golden Koi Buffet fto help cancel those giving this place low star ratings. If anyone is a frequent diner at restaurants providing more formal service, award winning chefs, more gourmet caliber menus for what any AYCE eatery charges, then your negative critiques may be valid. But if your usual dining out spots are fast food and mostly outsourced, shortcut food chains and overhead limited cafes, then quit complaining. We, in Roseville, are lucky to have Golden Koi as many osther AYCE buffeet places are going out of business, or decreasing choices and taking quality shortcuts to survive. Gold Koi has many crustaceain/shellfish, duck, steaks, and a wide variety of fresh fruits and desserts, plus even diet and diabetic friendly choices. Most AYCE Japanese restaurants just serve seafood with white rice basically, and a small container of artificial looking ice cream, but beverages are extra but prices are either same or even more. I have tried two more in Citrus Heights in Sacramento County (we are in Placer County, as I hate when geographically impaired folks fail to recognize Placer County). But those two buffet spots take too may obvious shortcuts which a normal palate would spot in a minute. For those who just need to stuff themselves to break a weight scale, then be grateful you can eat without taking out a loan. But taste and unlimited volume is usually not intertwined. Even AYCE buffets in fancier Las Vegas have undergone some downsizing. I was a former cosmopolitan S.F. newspaper dining out columnist and dined in more sophisticated establishments with more frequency than most others dining at fast food and chain places each month, even each week. I have to give Golden Koi merit for not succumbing to all the shortcuts most other restaurants are taking to survive. Many restaurants charge over $30 just for a three course meal, depending on the main course,. Others increase outsourcing many of their ingredients you may think are all in-house made given higher prices being paid. At Golden Koi buffet, there are at least five shellfish/crustaceans, duck and grilled beef and other choices which would cost more as single entrees elsewhere. One AYCE in Citrus Heights, in Sacramento County, boast of serving beef ribs, but all anyone saw were bones, as if human customers were expected to lick them like dogs. For same price at Golden Koi, even a huge variety of Japanese sushi, nigiri and rolls plus Chinese dishes and more are offered for one still very modest price. Let's face reality, we go to these places to pay less and enjoy a wider variety of food choices complete with desserts alnd more. We do not have to like everything, but there is enough to justify the modest charge. If you want gourmet quality, then expect to pay at least $25. for one entree or ala carte, most often much more. So if you are aiming to indulge in "gourmet" caliber food, go elsewhere but pay more, lots more. Again, quit slamming Golden Koi Buffet. At the very least it still deserves 4 stars. Maybe its food is not gourmet standards, but then you are not paying gourmet dinner prices either. read more

Honestly I love this spot and I have to hold back from going so often because the food is good quality and the service is great as well. Price is great as well it's just my husband and I and we never spend more than 70 bucks here. read more

Ordered delivery from restaurant and am I sorry can't give negative 5 stars. First driver was on my street in front of my neighbor opposite my house. Tried to tell me my address was wrong then tried to give neighbor my food. She was on phone with me and told me the numbers on my garage were incorrect. I told her the color of my home and described my front yard ( I am bedridden and can't get out of bed). She then said she was putting my food back in car but I sent my care giver out to flag her down and even then she argued wrong numbers on garage door. ( They are correct). Finally my care giver got our food after 5 minutes of her arguing. Well I wish I had let her return to restaurant as my food was crap. Avacado roll had old off tasting Avacado and the rice roll fell apart the minute I tried to pick it up. The fried rice was just regular rice with a hint of peas and carrots that obviously came from a can. Half of the rice was under cooked ( raw) and had no seasoning at all. The egg rolls were not crisp but cold and soggy. No flavor there either. The garlic mushrooms tasted like they were cooked in water no garlic flavor at all.. The pot stickers were heated from frozen store brand the way they tasted. Asked for soy sauce got none but did get some ketchup. Got Fry's for granddaughter to go with her wings but they too were cold and soggy. There were only 3 napkins in spite of requesting more as there were 3 of us eating. I did get Hot and Sour soup that was actully still hot and full of flavor. Yet to try the egg drop or won ton as my daughter and granddaughter didn't want to try them after the other food. All in all I ask how this place can stay open. Wish I could tell you the name of driver but didn't quite catch it. I did complain to Golden Koi but got no reaction other than a I will pass on your comments. Still very upset as now experiencing gastric problems. Maybe the bad Avacado roll? Needless to say I will never order from them again and pray they get closed down very soon. Golden Koi is the place too bad to even send your worse Emily. Yes that bad. They need better cooks. read more

Horrible... extremely dirty. Plates and utensils were dirty . My daughter came home and felt sick to her stomach and vomited...

Very nice place, the food was good quality and generally pretty tasty. Everything was clean and well maintained from what I saw.

Would reccomend to lovers of asian food :) read more

Celebrated a 98 year old's birthday here with our group of 13. The staff from the front desk to the sushi bar and everyone in between were very accommodating and friendly. We felt very well taken care of. The food was your typical Chinese buffet fare and since we went on the weekend they had some nicer premium options like duck, crab, and shellfish. It's definitely one of the more higher quality Chinese buffets in the area. read more
