We have been going to Golden for the past 5 years, owner upgraded the Dixy Hwy location and has boosted the food quality dramatically and consistantly. We are there once a week or so. The Sushi is wonderful, hand made onsite, usually about 8 choices. Their hot & sour soup is beyond amazing, with multiple mushroon, huge tofu chunks. They always have multiple fish options and dishes for picky young kids. Sometimes tacos, pizza, Mac & cheese. There are also steamed veggies and unbreaded dishes that my wife & I prefer. The cold food bar is an excellent salad bar on its own. The Hot food bar is more than you could ever want and almost every dish is top notch. While the fancy Sushi at the much more expensive Tokyo in Sfld. is one step up, Goldens hot food is CONSISTANTLY A STEP ABOVE Toyko! The Mongolian grill is almost over the top with so many other choices. Then for dessert, expected choices, and soft serve ice cream and toppings, plus spectacular cut up fresh fruit, some skewered, and a CHOCOLATE fountain, with even more goodies to dip or coat. Hot tea is also included and the wait staff is very attentive even though its buffett format. We have held family gatherings in their large (no extra charge) private room and we would go there again, and we do. Sorry, forgot to mention, the price is possibly the best value in Oakland County in any category. Our lunch bill is about $8 per person (lower with coupon on their web site) and the only gotcha, is that we have to control ourselves not to eat to much. They also have great value by the pound carry out. Did I mention the koy pond and 2 resident turtles. Dont be put off by the strip mall location, whats inside is a gem.

*****Fantastic! I am a sworn regular! :-)***** Very friendly atmosphere with, most often a smile or two or three. :-) of course, if you happen at a busy time, the friendly staff will be moving about quickly. yet will remain friendly faced. Very hard workers from day to nightfall 7 days a week. The Kids love the indoor Pond with the flowers and Turtles. Good Food too! I have never had, whether it being lunch visit or dinner visit, a cold or unsavory dish. Tea offer was plentiful and is prepared with Whole Bulk tea leaf. A descent Banquet area that myself and my Company have held meetings. Although, myself I would prefer a more traditional group of dishes, The food is really good. I have had squid dish very tender. that is not easy to prepare in a buffet setting and they make it work very well. As for the "Traditional foods" I think most people would not be able to handle seeing chicken feet. Haha! (one of my favorites foods outside of wonton and broth dishes) :P Chocolate Fountain with a strong bunch of things to dip! Very Good! Tasty! can you say... Hao chi? 好吃! :-D Feelin Hungry now. may need to make a run!

I tried one bite of multiple food. The chicken was left out to become hard as a brick. The rolls were hard. I tried the hibachi grill in the back corner and he cooked the chicken for about a minute. It was raw. So was the steak. Fiance asked where rice was and both servers couldnt even speak enough English to tell her. All they did was point. Tried talking to the manager and he said they wouldnt do anything because its my opinion the food wasnt good, or to standard. It was honestly the worst place I had ever been to. I will absolutely never ever go back.

Ive dined at many Chinese buffets all across the US. This one ranks very well. I was surprised to see duck on the buffet, and it was very good duck too! As well the roast beef was very good. Everything was fresh and of good quality. A small selection of sushi and sashimi, some American items were present such as pizza, meatballs, BBQ ribs. The restaurant was clean, and the bathrooms were nice and clean, which is expected for a restaurant, but not the standard for these buffet places. Yes I will be returning. Good job golden buffet owners and workers.

The food was horrible. Everything had been siting out to long and was soggy. Ive had the food when it was fresh and its still not that great. The thirty dollars that I spent on us there could have been spent on something nice and apatizing from somewhere else. I said something to the manager about the quality of the food and he gave me three dollars off. A whole ten percent off of some food I didnt like at all. I told him that I was leaving hungry. I think that should be a clue that something is wrong when customers are leaving hungry from a buffet.

Ugh!! Its a buffet!! Which means youll eat your body weight in batter-covered veggies and sauce-covered chicken... because its easy to do here since the food is better than most buffets. A good sign is when 80% of the seating is occupied then you know the food is getting replaced often which is typical for here. Dont expect friendly service and youll be fine.

Bad food, even by Chinese buffet standards. I tried it because of all of the ads that said it was the grand reopening so I figured Id give it a shot and it was so bad that we left after trying some of the food and had to eat somewhere else because we couldnt eat enough to be full because it was so bad...

Excellent quality fresh food. I am shocked to see any reviews that state otherwise. I used to live right down the road and could not shop and cook for less so i ate here often. The variety is so large i rarely ate the the same thing twice except my favs. I will always come back for more great food.

I understand that a lot of people do enjoy dark meat but I am not one of those people. But I love General Taos chicken. This is the only place Ive been to that every piece of chicken was dark meat or something I would not eat. Disappointed. Wish I could post a picture on here of my lunch.

The Golden Buffet has several options for you to choose from with 6 bars, sushi, and a grill station. Most of the food is pretty solid, but how fresh the food is largely depends on the day and how busy they are. Sundays they have their best spread, but prices also increase substantially.

The food is ok, not so good. I just went there yesterday, My total was $42.32, i paid with a debit card and tipped the waitress with cash, They charged more then what my total was $50.78. Watch your bank statements, these people like to charge greater amounts without authorization.

Lunch is cheaper and is a great deal. Dinner not so much. Some of the food has been out longer than others but there is so much selection that you should have no trouble eating enough. Salad bar is fresh. Breaded whitefish is very good. Deserts are always good.
