Food is probably good for Laurinburg, but for me, coming from Los Angeles and Miami, it was lacking diversity and quality.

Traveling through and searched for a Sunday lunch restaurant. Other review stated that this is a new opening and under new management, usually it will be positive surprise since it is New. Without hesitate We went to try this Chinese Buffet and couldn’t be happier that we did! The buffet has an abundance of choices! The service was excellent, restaurant was clean, the staff was very friendly and we felt very welcomed. Go hungry and you’ll leave happy. It was our first visit, but definitely won’t be our last!

They need to learn the difference between Moo Goo Gai Pan & Broccoli & Chicken. Ordered Moo Goo today & got 10 pieces of Broccoli & minimal chicken pieces & no sauce to put on the rice. Back to Gin-Gins.

The atmosphere was better than the Original Golen Run.The service was great...The food wasn't very good. Most of the items I tried were a little too spicy. Broccoli wasnt cooked enough, egg rolls were undercooked...With all of this being said I learned that same cooks were still cooking there..Explains the reason why the food was Awful.... Want be going back.

Ok ,to put it simple,someone is cutting corners.First the food, dumplings were a disgrace filled with some instant mashed potatoes and fake chicken. Chicken on a stick had a sauce on it that looked like a homemade sweet and sour. Most of the food looked reused, I got the chicken wings only because everything else looked ran through and the came out super fresh. The family wasn't impressed, my two sons that could eat road kill and survive said it had a weird taste.When it came to the price even with 10 %discount still came out over 70$.So make along story short,pass this one up,I won't be doing my normal second try later routine with the restaurant.

Spent $60 on food and it was horrible! No sweet and sour sauce for the meals and no soy sauce or fortune cookies! Food had no taste! We threw it away and we won’t be back.

Went here today and they weren't open even tho the site says they are open. Lady inside just looked me but didn't come to door. Bad business practice.

The restaurant reopened yesterday, Dec 22, 2023, under the new name Golden 168. I came today, at 11:30 am, surprisingly found many people, hope the new owners will be successful. The food was decent, obviously one cannot judge by the first few days. They did not even had tea yet! I liked the teriyaki chicken and chicken wings.

It's decent. Seating is ok. Service could be a bit better at times. Ambiance is warming and welcoming. Definitely could use some up to date renovation. Food is fair. Wish they had a few more options. Not always the freshest but when it is it's pretty decent. So basically when you go and it's steady wish customers you know the food will be fresher on the buffet. Desserts, pass. The cakes they have sitting out is usually always dry and there's not many selections. I don't the the sanitation score is the greatest also but hopefully that's improved. Tip your waitress or waiter because they do not pay them very good. I felt this needed to be added in the review.
Food was cold and majority of food was salty.
