Golden Apple Buffet

Me and my husband has heard about this buffet place since it was in our neighborhood but this was our first time going. We didn't have high expectations as buffet places are usually what you would expect.Personally this place was great for what it's worth and since it's in the area. My husband was so excited seeing the crawfish as that's his usual to go dish at buffets! The food was good and what you would expect from buffets. We did love the setting and layout as it doesn't look like your typical buffet. Some big plus we're definitely the service. When we left as well they offered me a fresh to go cup of my soda which has never happened at buffet places for me. We would say the only downside is variety. We did wish there was more since we've been to big buffet places. They do have everything a variety of American and Asian cuisine which was nice!

Excited to have a new buffet in the area! Great location - decently priced. Food was hot and full the entire time. Tables were clean and service was on point.

I had high hopes for this place but I will NOT be back. To start off the water they give you taste like chlorine. The food is lacking flavor. The grease they use, I don't think it's been changed out because all the fried food taste the same.They have crab legs and mussels but I was way too afraid to eat them because they look like they had sat out for HOURS! They have a sushi bar and are rolling the sushi. They have dessert and they store it in a cabinet off to the side but it was all stale. They are little square cake bites and I didn't even want to waste my calories.The ice cream they have are the ice cream cups that they used to give for school lunches so I passed. I went on a Sunday for lunch, beware there is one price all day for Sunday which is way more expensive then the Monday thought Saturday price. I wasn't happy not will I be back. Plus their crab ragoons were really bizzare it was like a fried hot pocket filled with cream cheese. The amount of cream cheese was overwhelming.

We had a great first visit to Golden Apple buffet! Our waiter was prompt and checked in with us often, taking plates and refilling drinks. The restaurant ambiance is the best I've seen in a Chinese buffet and it looks very modern and stylish! The food options were plentiful and satisfying. We were all so impressed with the ice cream options-- lots of ice cream flavors and they all came in individual pre-packaged ice cream cups! Just grab one and go! Unlike other Chinese buffets where you have giant tubs of ice cream and you have to use an ice cream scoop that's been sitting in a tub of water. The staff also overheard that it was my dad's birthday and they came over and did the sweetest birthday surprise song for him. We had a great dinner, thanks Golden Apple!

The food was very yummy, the restaurant, restrooms, and food area were very clean, the people who work here (and I think the owners) were very kind and accommodating. They had good variety for an Asian buffet, which I have partaken in many where we were from in San Diego. We came in with a group of seven, including four young children, and they were so helpful and patient with us. Plus there was something yummy to eat for everyone. My seven year- old said she wants to live here , which is saying something because she is very picky.

My wife and I really like buffets, and especially Asian buffets. It's not so much we can eat as much as we want because neither of us eat like we used to, but it's being able to eat little bits of a lot of different tastes. I had business up by the legends and googled "asian buffets" and Golden Apple popped up. It was a Saturday, so they were on weekend pricing but they also had whole crabs baked half lobsters and about a dozen kinds of shrimp dishes. The buffet tables are laid out and the areas are clearly identified by signs, and there are individual legible labels for all the individual dishes. Everything we had was really good. It was fresh it was flavorful, it was hot. The sushi selection included several with fresh fish, not just California rolls that are all veggie. The only negative in the meal was that some of the sushi had been prepared ahead of time and had gotten dry. Their dessert bar was extensive, with fresh and canned fruits, several varieties of Chinese cakes and pastries, and individual serving cups of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream. If you like a buffet, this one is totally worth it.

Today was not a great day. Started with the sushi which is usually great, but found a hair in one of the rolls and didn't taste as cold and fresh as it usually is. Then tried the cheese stuffed lobster which was the special and it was way too chewy and they were very clean. The steak was ok but by the time I finished my steak my stomach was hitting the warning button and had to leave to go home to the bathroom. It was definitely caused by something I ate here as this was the only thing I had all day as well as my husband that was with me, he ate the same things that I did. $53 for 2 on a weekend is pretty steep. Don't think we will be back anytime soon.

Food- there were some hits and misses, but overall the food was okay. Not sure if I would come back for the food.- 2.5 out of 5 Service- we came in on a busy day, but our waitress did not check up on us once. When she came to check up on us we were already ready for our checks and ready to leave! - 1 out of 5 Ambiance- The inside of the restaurant looked fine, but they sat us outside inside of the restaurant and it was quite hot and not the place to eat. - 2 out of 5 I understand that this place is newer, but my experience here was bad and personally I don't see myself coming back here. I rather make the drive to Joy wok or even China garden buffet. I think this place needs some time to grow.

Social media had me thinking this might be the next best buffet with fresh sushi and half dungeon crabs. Nope. Nowhere near what I saw on their social media post. It was such a disappointment. For $22 per person, I expected more selections and varieties. Not a lot to choose from. You get the basic orange chicken, plain lo-mein, tiny crawfish, meatless dungeons crab. No hibachi station. Sushi weren't fresh. I don't know if they did not expect a big crowd for lunch on Sunday, but we waited forever for them to refill the food. Service was so slow. Barely came over to pick up our plates. We were stacking them up to see how many before they come by. Our water wasn't refilled the whole time we were there.Will not be returning.

This place is excellent! So many choices. Everything looked and tasted delicious. The food was hot and fresh. The service was excellent. The place is immaculately clean. We went for lunch and really enjoyed the entire experience.
