$8.50 for the buffet (i think it’s cheaper if you’re a Pitt student). If you go in with low expectations youll enjoy it. Its a good place for college students to pig out of greasy Chinese food. Theres a pretty limited selection for a buffet, so if youre looking for something specific this might not be the place for you. I think there were just two people running the whole place. One was cooking, the other was running the register, seating people and bussing tables after people left. I actually see this as a good thing, sometimes it annoying being interrupted every few minutes by the waiter asking if you need anything, or refilling a drink. I thought it was nice that they just leave everyone alone. This was my first time there, but it sort of had a coffee shop feel in the sense that there were several people sitting alone studying. It was also very quiet compared to other restaurants.

I like this place. Its not exactly what you think of when you think about a buffet- there isnt really any desert or anything like that. But for the price of a dinner combo, you can select from pretty much all your standard greasy Chinese options. And every dish Ive had here has been pretty good! I havent had anything yet that I thought was bad. Occasionally on a lucky day theres Crab Rangoon, which I usually spend an extra $5 on top of my meal for. And I think the lady at the register is pretty nice.

You pay about $7 (a little bit more if youre not a student) for as much Americanized greasy Chinese food as you want. The selection is pretty standard; fried or white rice, fried noodles, various meats (in reality, the same meat made with different sauces and flavorings and then presented as separate items), and several vegetable selections. Almost all incredibly high in oil and sodium.

My freshman dorm buddies and I used to come here after finals or big exams to eat our feelings. It isnt going to win any Michelin stars, but I doubt youre looking for a buffet because you expect Gordon Ramsey to be working in the kitchen. Instead, youre going to get a decent deal for exactly the kind of food youre looking for here. Try the Chinese "donuts"!

I can always count on Golden Palace for the perfect Chinese buffet! Have been going here since my college days and its always been great! The woman who runs it is pleasant and friendly! They have a rotating weekly menu for the buffet, an also offer authentic Cantonese and Mandarin options for sit down/takeout. Price also includes drinks too. Great deal!

They wont accept my student ID for advertised discount. Im a grad student in my mid-thirties. "Too old". Nice atmosphere otherwise. Decent selection. The rice is usually overcooked. Unless Im getting more than two full plates, its comparatively too expensive without the discount.

The "asian" food here is so Americanized that it has lost all taste and flavor. The selection is so small that barely qualifies as a buffet. Edit: both my wife and I got food poisoning from this place.

Food is always pretty satisfying. Never too busy, so its a nice place to sit and eat with friends and family. Lighting is pretty bad, but thats their only downfall. Great price for the food you get.

Very good, especially for the price and the owners are very friendly. I usually stop by once about our twice a month when I dont feel like cooking or when the urge hits and always leave satisfied.

The food was disgusting we sat the whole time and waited for our drinks they did not service our drinks until we were leaving the worst experience I ever had $20 down the drain

This is a very friendly place, the price/quality is very good, specially when you have a small budget and you want to have lunch/dinner outside home

If you like big buffets with a great selection, go elsewhere. Not bad but for $8 and change it would go elsewhere. That pic is the whole buffet!!

This is exactly what you would expect. I love to eat at golden palace for the price and quantity, but dont expect the best quality.

The worst Chinese buffet Ive ever been to. Poor selection. Food was greasy. Pop machine was out of order. Would not recommend.

A quite popular place for students and staff on campus. Foods change everyday a little bit. The owner is a friendly lady.
