Golden Coin Chinese Buffet - Phoenix

Im a long time lunch customer. I'm dissapointed that I still can't serve myself from the buffet. I understand it during covid, but not now.. They rush you through the line and quickly throw your choices onto a paper plate in a sloppy manner. I don't get enough of what I want and too much of what I don't.. I'm not sure that I'll be back.

About 10$ per all-you-can-eat buffet. About 12 options of food( fried rice, possibly white rice, low mein, veggies: just broccoli, egg roll, orange chicken, fried chicken, fried squash, French fries, sweet and sour pork I think, on the buffet. Which you 're not allowed to serve yourself. They serve it on paper plates, and comes with a drink, but no refills. Refills are 2.50 each. Wouldn 't allow us a bag to take the food we had paid for home. Which was still the first plates they loaded, of our choice, for us. Looked like the inside of a Federico but drabbier. I didn 't come close to even trying all the options I chose to eat..The other people ate until they were full. Which wasn 't the whole plate either but said it was good. Veggies- crispy, fried chicken-good, the other chicken in sauces were saucy... i rated it a 3 out of 5 but it 'd really be a 2-2.5 to be honest. It was just ok. It wasn 't completely disgusting but it wasn 't anything fantastic either. The people I was with talked all great about it then we walked in and it was very glummy and almost draining feeling. The atmosphere drained the appetite out of me if that makes any sense... sorry

This place is cute. It's a buffet, but a simple meal plan. We decided to try it out, the broccoli was very appealing, and I thought it was just right. Very affordable, in the respect that it's not expensive for what you get. I really enjoyed the chicken, my date thought it was a bit dry. So- perspective is everything I guess! Anyways- put it on your bucket list. I thought the place would have been very popular back in the days, authentically retro.

The food was horrible. The chicken was still red. The sweet and sour pork was dry and tough. Not recommended.

Been coming here since I was a little kid. Have always loved the food here
