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

I'm sorry but I really don't want to be dishonest about this place. So, I won't be dishonest. 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. read more

I'm not saying the food was bad, but I started negotiating with my body halfway through the meal. Let's not ruin this over some noodles that taste like regret. I kept ordering more things because that's what optimism looks like when you're hungry and stubborn. Every dish was worse than the one before it, which is impressive in a way. At some point I realized I was participating in an experiment. So I left. Not because I was full, but because I respect myself just enough to walk out before my digestive system files a formal complaint. read more

Good food, service is a bit rushed.... But good experience overall... We will be back... read more

they have roaches, the ceiling was leaking at my table, and the food was mid. the service was good at least.

I been coming here since as far as I can remember being introduced to this place. It's pretty good at times , and sometimes bad just gotta catch them on a good day. I think this spot better than habachi buffet in Norcross. That's just me. As for the service, it's what you expect at your typical buffet spot. Just lucky to have a buffet near snellville! read more

Food is sometimes great, most times is not good tho very cold and soggy and sometimes raw, ambience is not good at all, and the service is horrible, they are rude, they only come at the end to see if there is tip. The host is the one that sometimes gotta refill drinks and take plates out because the servers don't care read more

Okay so Golden Corral went out of business a hot minute ago in Snellville but this place is so delicious! Mac n cheese reminds me of the ole "Ryan's" Thai spicy rice was super yum. They have sushi Hibachi (bring cash for tips) Reasonable prices and I will definitely be going back read more

This place is not worth it. Food was cold and service was just okay. I really disappointed.

First, the fact that you are required to pay before you eat is not very appealing. This is, especially, true because the quality of the food is very poor. The servers can be nice. It just depends on if they think you will tip well or not. The feel inside the restaurant is not bad. It's actually a nicely constructed setup inside. However, making someone pay in advance for this poor quality of food is suspect. I won't be returning here anytime soon. read more

We have been going to this buffet for years. The food is good the restaurant is clean. I would recommend it to everyone. Recently I had an experience that left me a little uncertain. I had paid for my meal with card, my cash in the car. I forgot to put the tip on the receipt. I left to go to my car and get the cash. The waitress stopped me at the door and told me I forgot to tip. I went to my car got the cash and put it on the table where we sat. I have never been approached that way. Having worked in the service industry, I always tip. read more

Food was terrible my son had a raw chicken nugget thank god he didn't eat it customer service was okay at first but than we got chased out the door for tip we told them were not tipping for no raw chicken nugget we will not be going back at all read more

Dang, Snellville Yelp is mean. Why in the world does Hot & Cold Buffet only have a 2 star average? Hot & Cold isn't significantly different from other Asian buffets. You can find your typical favorites here. Hot & Cold also features an interesting smorgasbord of non-Asian selections like quesadillas. I am usually pleased with the marinated steak that is available on both the lunch and dinner buffet. I also love that the dinner buffet features scallops, oysters, and other assorted seafood. I would love for them to steam the crab that they have on their dinner buffet rather than fry it. I would also love the Thai Fried Rice if it were slightly less salty. Sushi selections and grill selections are as average as any other Asian buffet and don't really need more comments than that. There's watermelon on the dessert bar, and that's always a good choice. Based on the comments of other diners, Hot & Cold may have once been a truly terrific buffet. Even if the quality has declined over the years, I still think Hot & Cold is a good buffet. It's not worth going out of your way to find, but I will definitely eat at this restaurant many more times while I live here. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. read more

Hot & Cold - Buffet area - Chinese Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

Today, I carried my family to the restaurant to celebrate a new job. When we entered the restaurant, I informed the cashier that we had six and one under six years old. He took our drinks order and charged us. While eating, the same cashier came over to our table, interrupted our dinner and accused my wife of sneaking the 7th person in. It's not my fault that the cashier can't count b/c we all came in together. In fact, I informed when we entered that we had six adults and one under six. We always enjoy going to this place, but after today, it changed the complexity. My six-year-old granddaughter only ate fruits. I am happy that I was away from the table when this conversation took place. Since it was the restaurant mistake, the cashier could have overlooked the six-year-old. Most restaurants don't charge a six-year-old. However, I assumed they needed the $9.99. If you have more than two people in your party, have everyone to raise their hands so the cashier won't interrupt your dinner and accuse you of lying or sneaking another person in. The food and service were great except for that one cashier. read more

Server never checked on us and followed us outside after we left asking about a tip. Said she didn't speak good English and continued to harass us. Terrible experience do not worry I will not be returning. I have been previously and have never received this kind of service before. I am not opposed to tipping but when no service is rendered than I see no need to. Awful dining experience and I learned my lesson I will not be returning back to this place again. read more

Fresh food instead of old food and updates need to be made. I couldn't even eat the meat

Customer service is terrible, and food tastes funny . Will not come again. They need to hire good cook.

The food was absolutely terrible. Although I guess the server lady was nice I guess but she didn't let me actually say if I was done with my food. SPEAKING OF FOOD, they really live up to their name with the amount of cold food they have here. Half of the food here is flavorless or just straight up trash. I have to be honest as an estimated yelp reviewer. This place is not worth my time AT ALL. It looks this place was decorated by a meep city player. All the decor is just random and out of place. There was a hole in my seat and food on it when I sat down. The only reason I'm not giving this place 0 stars is because I just can't, but also the fortune said something nice about me though, so it's 1 star and I will NOT come back. read more

I want to start off by saying that this is my first buffet since the zombie apocalypse! I do not go to buffets only because I am on vacation and my mother asked me to. So here I am reluctantly eating at a place where a million people touch the handles of the serving utensils. They definitely make it clear to where a mask and they put hand sanitizer in the entryway before you enter. I found that I was one of very few( mainly my own party) that actually used it before going into the buffet area. I normally like to try things that I would not eat on a regular basis. So today I had the frog legs which were absolutely delicious it was quite amusing ripping the flesh from the bone and knawing on the calf muscle. The scallop mushroom dish was pretty good as well as the baked stuff black muscle that was on a clamshell. I enjoyed the green beans immensely. It was a hit and miss with some other items but it was interesting to try. They even had crab legs and oysters on the half shell which I would probably get more in a fine dining restaurant so I decided not to get them here. The salt and pepper shrimp with the shell on doesn't really do it for me because all of the seasoning is on the shell and you have to rip off the shell in order to get to the shrimp. They have a ton of fried food as well. My son went for chicken wings and french fries and chocolate chip cookies and garlic toast. I wasn't very happy with his choices because he can get that anywhere. My mom was dismayed because they did not have her egg foo young. The waitress said it's only available during the week for lunch. But I love her and she made a pig of herself like I did. I think I'm done on buffets for a very long time. I don't think I have to eat dinner tonight because I'm pretty stuffed. read more

This place was horrible today everything was cold. Got the stir fry and it was tough the meat was hard even after cooking it in front of me. But all their entrees were cold and empty containers. Not a good dessert selection either read more

I have stopped coming here because the waitress harassed me for a tip and was angry when I told her I am leaving zero. The staff sucks and I never came back here again. There are better buffets and I really suggest for people to not come here. The staff will watch you eat in order to rush and give you a receipt when they think you are done so you can give them a tip. It's a stupid concept considering I pay before I sit down. read more

I really enjoyed it. I had the hibachi grill. It was cooked perfect. Would absolutely go back.

These people never look at you not the manager at the register who also didn't say thank you when I paid him up front. The hibachi grill operator, and the servers nobody looks at you. It's almost like you're bothering them when you come into pay good money. Next, the salmon was cold in the pan, as was the pork chops. But the biggest complaint is pathetic customer service. No smiles, no thank yous. Just eat and get out. I'll be surprised if this place exists a year from now read more

I brought my whole family of 5. Everything was delicious. The workers were very friendly. I will definitely be coming back!

They do have a large selection of food, including Asian, Mexican and even some Tex-mex cuisine. It's an absolute shame that all of it is horrible. I went there at around 6PM and almost everything I tried tasted as if it was left in a fridge for a day then reheated. Their dessert section is extremely mediocre, including choices such as cheesecake that looked like it was woefully stripped of any dignity it once had and strawberry cake that tasted more like lawn grass covered in syrup. I suppose it's a decent place if you are a quantity over quality type of person but at $12 a pop, I feel extremely compelled to recommend you to visit the many other buffets of the same type. read more

This used to be a good buffet. Last time we were here it was acceptable, this time it's unacceptable. The hot food is not hot, the sushi is warm. Nothing was fresh at 6:30 at night, prime dinner time. They are preparing too large of portions for the few people in the restaurant causing the food to go bad. They have also switched to the cheapest plastic ware and napkins I've ever seen. Save your money, don't eat here. Pricing now is $13.99/ person at dinner. read more

Horrible horrific service! Food was cold including all meats and seafood was scarce but we paid the extra for the dinner buffet. I've been here with family for many years and I must say I am super disappointed and will not be coming back for awhile. read more

My mom, brother and I went into here for lunch and the food was okay. Wasn't anything to die over. We didn't tip because the food wasn't that great. Because of us not tipping, our waitress HARASSED us to give her a tip. TWICE!! My mom finally broke and gave her a dollar tip, just to get us out of there. Will not be going back. Super unprofessional.. read more

Hit or miss. Been going here for about 2 yrs. I find that if you go lunch time or dinner time on the weekends you are good. During the week after work has been bad the last 2 times. Options are ok, servers are sometimey as well. I like the create your own hibachi and the sushi bar looks nice if I ate sushi. Worth a try. I keep coming here for the food but the staff is not great with emphasis on the servers. I don't understand how servers expect big tips(and they will hover over you when you are paying the tab) but the service is poor! Poor meaning they don't check on you a lot. It may as well be self serviced all the way. I don't think I will be going back for a while. read more

The food is actually pretty good, I only order to go and I haven't had any issues with the quality. My only knock on them is that they don't take phone orders. They tell you to either come and order in store and wait, or order on door dash to pick up which is more expensive. Doesn't seem like they care whenever I've brought this up. I'll probably find another place that is more customer friendly. read more

Very content. My buddy Danny and I were there this past weekend. Being this is his favorite lunch stop,my expectation was high.Also,coming off of a 3-day fast, though I wouldn't be "troughing down" much, my taste buds WOULD BE VERY DISCERNING concerning the quality. All in all,very good.First time there, I no longer give anyone five stars; not until a business proves themselves​ to be CONSISTENTly very good. Wow, now that I see the previous (poor)reviews, I'm surprised. read more

Hot & Cold - cars parked in front of a buffet - Chinese Near Me - Snellville, Georgia

I love the temperature & sanitizing station at the front entrance. The food is good, however the Buffett is so small for that particular location. The restaurant is centrally located in between Snellville not far from Centerville & Stone Mountain. They are slow to replenish food compared to the number of people that patronize this place. If they expand the stations or replenish more often to keep up with the traffic it would make for a much better experience. There food is ok not bad not a WoW factor but if your in the mood for some Chinese and in the area this will do. read more

TERRIBLE. The food was awful, the service was unbelievably bad. Due to an overall horrible experience, we did not leave a tip.
