Overall, I really enjoy eating here. The servers are always very attentive, but sometimes they are a little too attentive, especially if they are slow. Some people like this, but it happens I do not like it when people come up to me and start talking to me. That, however, did not negatively impact my review because it's just good customer service. You can order to-go if you want, but that way, you have to pay individually for everything you get. The prices are decent and the food is good. Everyone is polite and friendly. The only people I know that do not enjoy this restaurant didn't even like this kind of food in the first place. I really enjoy the different types of chicken they serve. Most people can find something here they enjoy eating, which makes this place great for large families. I always hear this place get compared to The One. I do not like The One very much, but this place is really good.

Walked in and the workers were loudly yelling at each other in Chinese, the food wasn't good, chow mein was slimy and bland, the chicken was tough and the taste was not great, non many options to get and the desert cake bites were dry and turned to crumbs while picking up

I used to love eating here, and I haven't been in a long time, so I was shocked and grossed out when I saw mold growing everywhere in the building. I doubt I'll go back now. The servers were friendly though, and the food still tasted okay, but I just know that mold isn't healthy. More

Apparently this place used to be really good and high quality food, my personal experience said otherwise. The server was quick and on top of it but the most important part of the experience was the worst. I got 3 different kids of chicken; general tsao’s, sesame, and honey. Each of them on a separate plate and each of them were mushy with the same sour taste to it and was inedible. Not to mention every item I picked was cold. The warmest thing there was probably the ice cream… thinking maybe im not picking what they are best at, I tried my husbands chicken to which was hard as a rock, my husband confirmed all of the pieces were similar. Vegetable? Soggy.. the best part of the meal was the fortune cookies they gave us on our way out. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

The food was disappointing. The green beans were so good, though. Crawfish were so overcooked couldn't even peel the tail, & flavor was poor. Some of the main Chinese foods were ok, but close to being overdone. Was dissatisfied & disappointed.

It was just okay. Some of the food wasn't hot temperature wise. Sushi options was just meh and Luke warmish. But of chicken options only one steak and one pork entrees. My advice if you're reading this is too go to 'The One' instead they have much better options in my opinion

If I could give this damn place a negative I would definitely do that. HORRIBLE JUST STRAIGHT HORRIBLE PLACE TO BE IN TEXARKANA. Only 2 people were kind to us the rest where rude and inconsiderate especially since I had my clients with me who are disabled and where trying to purchase their own buffet but were rushed through the paying process. We came at the slowest times of the day there were barely any people there so I’m not sure why they would be like that. They had an attitude about giving us separate receipts especially since they were paying separate. YOU MADE MY CLIENTS FEEL BAD AND UNEASY…and since when is 11am a dinner special for freaking $17 dollars??? On a damn Saturday? Yall just opened and charging dinner special?

Clean bathrooms, friendly staff and good food. No patio, so no pets and ADA wheelchair compliant. Cute and up to date...some great shirts saying they survived 2020 and a "Among us" sign so very nerdy. Which I loved. A cute table in the bathroom for non mask compliant people. I would gladly stop here again.

I gave four stars because for a buffet their food quality is actually pretty good, lots of delicious items to choose from, but at $20 a person I likely will never come back, I just don't see the value for $20 a person and yes I know the buffet is 1650 in the drinks are 275 but after taxes that's over 20 bucks a person for a buffet.

Where to begin!! The chicken was dry, the crab was fake, the noodles were terrible, the sesame chicken was soggy, and bland. If it was fresh it would have been so good. They shocked me with the seafood. … More

The green beans are good, the strawberries icecream is also good. Everything else is disappointing.
We arrived around 7:20PM, and several trays were empty, and they remain empty until we finished. They seemed never refilled anything. More

Meat was as tough as a leather boot. Noodles were cold. Fried fish was cold. Best part of the my visit at this establishment was getting a knife offered to cut the meat. But even after cutting it up, it was still to tough for me to eat. I will not revisit the Golden Palace

I loved the Dr Pepper, it was cold and fresh. The restaurant was warm and comfortable considering it was cold and rainy. Interior decor is outdated, its clean for its age, can't tell what color the carpet is suppose to be and the atmosphere is uninviting. The waitress was very attentive. The food was warm, taste was a seven on a scale of ten. Some items were so old and dry they were inedible. The food appeared to be all premade. Price was average. Was it awful no but its not a restaurant I would frequent often.

Not a bad first time. The lo mein, honey chicken, pineapple shrimp, and dumplings were my favorite. The chicken on a stick had great flavor. Little disappointed with the rice noodles. They didn’t have much flavor at all. This was a clean buffet and the service was awesome! Kiddos approved!
