    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.

    Went for lunch and they had a great selection. I would recommend going early cause we went around 2 and things weren't as fresh looking as they could have been.

    Crab, steamed fish and crawfish

    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.

    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.

    I mainly go there for the crab legs, fried crabs, clams, and other seafood, plus some small desserts. I've been here twice, and I brought my parents, they loved it. My dad is a big meat lover, and he already wants to come back. The customer service is good, the staff are friendly and always smiling. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this place.

    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.

    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.

    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. Buffet was nice and clean. Food doesn't disappoint. They have a grilled food section, plenty of seafood and variety of Chinese food too.

When we first walked in it smelt like fish, been going to Mikunis for 15 years & never smelt like this degree of fish. We were seated after an hour of waiting, when we sat down the table was wet but thought it was just cleaned. Grabbed a napkin to wipe it up & it was a bunch of sauces! It got all over our arms, our menus. The wall next to us was dirty, never seen it like this! Went to the women's restroom, a toilet was filthy, the floor was bubbling up, with a wet floor sign & a rag on the ground. Honestly the most disappointing was the birthday wheel. We finally got babysitter to go out this night, when I asked to do the birthday wheel they said only 2 days before or after. My birthday is on Wednesday. This is our normal date night spot, have been countless times but this one experience has really made a negative impact unfortunately. It takes us about an hour to get to this location & so sad it was like this. The food we got was good, only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars. I will say the dream sauces didn't look like they always have either.
