Golden Apple Buffet Restaurant
This is a decent buffet. Comments about being overpriced are unfortunate because you get to eat unlimited plates of good fresh quality food including sushi/sashimi, at $15 (lunch) or $21(dinner) is an amazing deal. I agree some people think the food temperature was a bit on the lukewarm side, I purposely dish out a steaming plate of food, but by the time you finish going around the entire buffet options and sit down, the food on your plate may not be as steaming anymore 😆. So if you want hot 🥵 food, get one dish and go straight to your seat and eat it straight away. A good tip on getting hotter temp is to stir the food around if it's something that can be moved around, like a pan of coconut shrimp or soup, get the portion at the bottom because whatever is sitting on top will be cooler and not touching the steam table at the bottom. Overall, the service was very attentive, our server was from Bali/Indonesia and he was very friendly and cleared all our empty plates constantly. We also saw him check on all the nearby tables nonstop. The only reason it didn't get the final star is because there was no lobster tails option during weekend dinner as advertised. Nevertheless, if you're poofed out from shopping at the Legends, or need a Chinese buffet fix, and starving, this buffet might be a good place to pig out.
When we went to the restaurant, it was around 4 in the afternoon on a Friday. I was anticipating a large crowd, but it wasn't very busy yet. The food at that time was fresh. From the buffet area, we can see one of the chefs/cooks grilling the meat. The baked lobsters are also freshly put on the serving tray and steaming hot. Although I am limited to what I can eat, they offer a wide variety of cuisine. With the kind of diet I have, I still walked out of Golden Apple Buffet Restaurant feeling full. My favorite was the peppered chicken thighs. It was cooked just right. The restaurant had grilled steak, baked lobsters, pizza, hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, various shrimp dishes, beef and broccoli, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, fries, and a lot more. They had crabs, cocktail shrimp, and mussels all on ice. They had a selection of sushi, fruits, and dessert. In the end, there's a mini deep freezer with multiple flavors of ice cream cups. There's a lot more. The staff was friendly. Our waiter (young gentleman) was attentive on taking the plates off the table. The only thing that we didn't like was that there's a lot of seating available, but we were put close to the bathroom. Overall, it seems worth giving another try.
Panda Express
They were very understanding our party of 6 included 4 small children that made a mess!!!! We offered to clean it but the staff thereon this date absolutely refused. I'd recommend this one panda express to the prime minister of China bc of the level of service they provided my little tribe.
My rating is solely based on the limited menu selection at this location. I live 1 minute away from this location- but I can’t go to it, because the closest location that serves Beyond Orange chicken is in the next county over 15 minutes away. I was hoping that eventually they’d get it, but it’s been months and still no beyond orange chicken. 💔
