Way over cooked salmon, no flavor fried rice, and gross baked crab
Michele M.

I am not a buffet kind of person, and this experience reminded me why. The food was not good at all. It looked old, nothing was hot, nothing had any taste, or seasoning. Selections were mislabeled. We all ended up just making a salad. Can't mess up lettuce and cucumbers. The staff was in abundance and not sure why. They were not friendly or helpful. I asked 2 questions, and each time, I was answered with nothing more than a point of the finger. Flies were everywhere, and I was able to kill one while in the bathroom. I'm not sure who is keeping them in business, but hey, good luck to you. I will never be back nor the 3 other people I was with.

Food at buffet was like warm. The chicken and broccoli, fried wontons and egg drop soup were good, but should have been hotter. Service was standard for Chinese buffet. Ambiance was nice. I will be tying another place for my Chinese buffet though.

I've been here a few times ,but this was probably my worst experience yet. It wasn't horrible, just the least "ok" experience. We got seated after a minute of standing around. The waitress wasn't very pleasant. Went up for food & there seemed to be less than I remember & had very few desserts, which is a big bummer for me. My boys love sushi but said theirs wasn't very good today. Their pizza was horrible, but then again, I am at a Chinese buffet. Lol They weren't filling up the empty trays very fast, they were taking their good 'ol time. I couldn't even get a donut cause my son took the last one & they never refilled them. Their General Tzo's was NOT good at all. Their fried rice & lomein were pretty good. Fried chicken- gross They had pizza egg rolls which weren't bad, but didn't have a strong flavor. Their tables & chairs need to be replaced & the ladies room definitely needed some serious tending to, but obviously no one checks on them. Only one stall could be stomached to go into. The other 2 made me sick. I will not be returning here again.

Lunch with the hubbs on WFH Friday.
Tara K.

Well, maybe I am just easy to please. Or maybe I have low expectations for an $11.99 AYCE lunch buffet. Or maybe I have no class. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, haha. Truth be told, I generally am not a fan of Chinese buffets anymore. I am vegetarian, and I find the selections to be more limited than you'd think. But my hubbs is a part-time meat eater, and he had a hankering for a gluttonous lunch on a random day we were unexpectedly together for lunch, so off we went. We walked in and were greeted right away. I wouldn't say warmly, but certainly not rude. I asked for a booth, to which the hostess obliged. The booth was in a side room that wasn't immaculate nor in great shape; basically decor and furnishings that still function but have seen better days. It was comfortable and clean enough. The buffet itself was actually pretty clean, and I suppose that matters most. For weekday lunch, I was a bit surprised to see all rows of the buffet fully stocked. There was a cold bar with fruit and salad items, three hot bars, and a cold bar with dessert items, plus an ice cream freezer. There was also a sushi line, which we didn't eat, so I am not sure if it has an upcharge. The majority of dishes on the buffet here are meat dishes, probably more than 85%. If you are vegan, you'll be even more limited than that. The lo mein unfortunately was not vegetarian. But the fried rice was a vegetable fried rice. There was also a vegetarian egg foo young, buttered potatoes, green beans, cheese broccoli, vegetable spring rolls, hot and sour soup, cheese pizza, and breadsticks, plus the salad bar. I was disappointed there were no tofu nor beancurd dishes at all. But I was pleasantly surprised with the veggie food they did have actually being quite satisfying. Sure, not the most flavorful Chinese food I have ever had. But for $11.99, beggars can't be choosers. Everything seemed fresh to me. The salad bar didn't have much, but the iceberg lettuce was crisp and cold, the hard boiled eggs were fresh, and I actually really liked the french dressing. Plus all of the dressings were kept tidy, no co-mingling of drips. And I enjoyed the vegetable fried rice. It was simple, could use a bit more soy sauce or salt, but it had a decent amount of peas, carrots, and onions in it. The vegetable egg foo young wasn't bad. I liked the breadsticks more than I did the vegetable springroll. An unexpected star of the show was the dessert bar. I find dessert bars at buffets like this to usually be lackluster. But this one had a couple delicious little cakes that were spongy, creamy and fresh. Plus there was a yummy vanilla wafer pudding with whip that I also liked more abundantly than I should have. My husband ate a few piles of meats. He was pleased. Considering I essentially ate lettuce, rice, eggs, bread, and a couple little cakes, I would not come back here for dinner prices. But for the occasionally reasonably priced lunch, so far so good. What I did eat was satisfying, the servers kept our waters full and dishes cleared, and the $11.99 per person bill was fair. Under those circumstances, I'd return.

Cream cheese Rangoon with no flavoring.
Lauren S.

I have never had Chinese take out that was so completely tasteless. There was no seasonings or sauces to give any flavor. The egg roll was tiny, overcooked and again, flavorless. The crab ragoons we're large but filled with just plain cream cheese, there was no crab or scalliobns. Plus they charge you 50 cents extra for the sweet and sour sauce that is typically given to you with the ragoons. The mei fun had a lot of shrimp but the noodles just tasted like a waste of calories so I ended up tossing the whole thing. Chicken and mushrooms were okay. Cooked well, but could only enjoy after soaking the entire meal with soy sauce and duck sauce. I will never get takeout from here again.

In terms of a chinese buffet, this was pretty middle of the road. I'd never expect 5 star quality from a place like this, but it was really mediocre regardless. We were seated immediately, staff was fairly pleasant, I guess. The interior wasn't dirty. I wouldn't say it was sparkling clean either. I went with one other person at like 6pm on a thursday, it wasn't crowded and wasn't empty. Pretty quiet, really casual vibe. You just come to eat cheap food fast. I just really didn't think the food was great. Compared to other chinese buffets in the area this probably had the lowest quality of food. I didn't hate anything, but none of it was great. Idk, 3 stars. Didn't hate it but wouldn't go back.

Take out buffet allegedly around 36 ounces but weighing in at 18 ounces (including 4 oz packaging)
Mark D.

I decided to stop here as I was looking for a take-out buffet through which I could just take a spoonful of each item. I used to love doing this at Wegmans, but their hot foods area has been closed since covid. Considering Zhangs charges about $5.49/lb, I thought this would still be a good deal. I picked up the items and checked out. I was charged $10.60. This being the case, I would think i had almost 2 lbs of food. I came home and decided to weigh the food. It weighed 18 ounces! That's right, well under the 36 ounces I was charged for. Food quality: The quality of the food here is overall between a "pretty bad" and a "didn't say I wouldn't eat it", whether it be the fried rice or the General Tso's chicken. The only item I liked was the Thai chicken skewers and the duck. I might go back if I don't find another take-out buffet in the area. If you happen to know of one, please PM me. I will give them an extra star for their covid protocol and the fact that the food isn't scarce.

Is there any Roast beef on the menu or American style foods? In tired if just oriental?

There are three different styles of cooking here: Japanese (sushi, miso soup, yakitori); Mongolian BBQ (pick noodles, vegetables and raw meat from buffet, and chef sautes them in front of you); and the usual array of Chinese food found at a buffet.… Read more

As of 03/2026 it's $13.99 per adult, so about $28 plus tip.

The cashier was a little gruff, but the woman running back and forth between the kitchen and the front had a better business sense about keeping customers happy. She didn't want me to wait long, so I think she rushed the kitchen a little bit, which I appreciated, but also may have led to some of the demerits on the food I mention below. I was happy to see one dish I ordered, the pig intestine with fish, on their picture board above the cash registers. That gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing and it was the best dish by far out of the three I ordered. The intestine was fresh and flavorful, the spice level was high, but also not too salty. It was a lot of food. Only drawback here was the fish (tilapia?) seemed to be heavy on the breading. The other two dishes were disappointing. Penang curry with pork had good vegetables, but the sauce had too little flavor since they went too heavy on the coconut milk. The pork seemed like chicken, not pork. Way too soft and flavorless. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun had good noodles and veggies. But the curry powder was not blended in. Eating it, I could still feel it in powder form. It was also far too oily. Overall, I think they had a lot of options but next time I'd steer more towards classic Chinese, since that seems to be what they do well. I hope next time the flavors will be stronger and blended better (i.e. powders actually stirred in). I'm willing to give them another chance, since they do have a lot of dishes I like. Last note: the online ordering service does not indicate that dishes come with rice. I thought they would have rice by default, but then when I added the penang curry to my cart, it asked whether I wanted rice or noodles or something else. So that made me think I had to order rice separately, which meant I had twice as much rice as I needed. It also said "quart of white rice" was sold out, but "pint of white rice" was not, yet the rice that came with my meal came in a quart container.

Finally had the chance to dine in. Walked in at 1:45pm on a Monday and there was soft music playing…read morein the dining room. I was seated and immediately served complimentary tea, and fried wontons with sweet and sour sauce. I ordered the Kung Pao lunch special which comes with a choice of egg roll or soup, and white or vegetable friend rice. I chose the wonton soup and fried rice, and I ordered an egg roll as well. The egg roll came out quickly, and the lunch special was served right when I finished that. The food was good and the dish was spicy (Kung Pao is supposed to be spicy but it never is-- not for me) and the service was polite. When the check came it was accompanied by a plate with two slices of orange and a fortune cookie. The only thing I didn't like about the visit was that there was an advertisement for a big commercial law firm on the back of the fortune slip and the "lucky number" was the phone number. I thought that was tacky. I walked out at 1:15pm. Great, quick lunch.

Nice people, good food, pleasant atmosphere: because I can never decide which is more important,…read morethey are equally important factors when rating a restaurant. Golden Hill has all three. And a lunch menu. Wow! I just gave my receipt another look and the people are nicer than I thought. I thought they were pleasant, friendly, happy we were there, concerned that we would enjoy our visit. The lunch menu offerings were each $10.95 and included eggroll OR soup, and white or vegetable fried rice. Daughter ordered the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus an appetizer order of steamed dumplings. I ordered Eggplant with Pork in Garlic sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus a small bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. The soup on the appetizer menu was $3.95. My receipt shows the server put the soup as my lunch choice and charged $2.95 for the eggroll. She never said a word, didn't point out that I could save a dollar by switching the sides around. So the people are all I thought plus kind and conscientious. Marvelous. I was delighted with everything I ate. The entree was enough for two, so supper came home with me. The eggroll was fresh and crisp and non-greasy, seemed homemade. Excellent. The eggplant was perfectly prepared and cooked, as was the pork. Delicious. The hot and sour soup was easily one of the best I've had, and I'm always looking for a great hot and sour soup. Coming from downtown Buffalo, we'd been in Williamsville because I had an appointment on Essjay Rd. Afterward, we looked for a place to have lunch before shopping. Finding Golden Hill at 4001 Sheridan Dr. in Amherst was pure serendipity. You can bet, though, that I will visit again after next appointment.

That includes clearing of items you're done with immediately and no waiting for your bill. I was never rushed; they were just great at their job! Honestly hard to find over the last few years and I was very grateful for that experience alone. The ambience was a very cozy-casual. As I was dining alone this time, I enjoyed the 80s music and videos playing on the TV haha I have to be honest ... I really really wanted to order a roll! But I'm trying to do better about trying other things. So I ordered the Atlantic mussels and the pan seared scallops with veggies with fresh ginger sauce and rice, at a spice level of 3/5. The mussels were very generous and in a large bowl. My biggest pull, aside from the mussels themselves, was that in the description it had a creamy coconut sauce. But I did not taste any coconut and it wasn't creamy. It was broth. It wasn't bad or anything, just not quite what I was expecting. I did appreciate, in general, that there were a couple of mussel options. I hadn't had them in quite some time. The dinner entree was very good. I loved that there was a 1-5 spice scale to choose from. I picked level 3 and was a little worried it wouldn't be spicy enough but it definitely was! It was perfect. The sauce was good and the scallops plump. Veggies were fresh and rice sticky. I had water to drink and it was also very good (felt it deserved a mention lol). I would definitely come back here, but I would definitely order rolls next time! It's what my heart really desires! Side note: great place to indulge in for a whole food diet! I felt very satisfied from my seafood and veggies!!
