| - I can't believe I'm saying this - I actually really enjoyed the food here! I've talked a lot of smack on GPB over the years, but I have to admit, their buffet was legit. Sure, the selection was very small, but what they did have tasted great. This is the ONLY buffet in all of Pittsburgh that has tofu (and it's general tso's tofu! my favorite!). That was enough to impress me. The noodles was flavorful without being too greasy, and the fried rice was delicious (and it's not that weird neon yellow rice either). The buffet also features 2 vegetable sides - mixed veggies and green beans - so vegetarians have a good amount of items to select from. Everyone out there with a sweet tooth will be disappointed because their dessert selection is non-existent.
The service is the reason I'm knocking off a star. The lady was simply rude and not a single plate was cleared the entire time we were there. The buffet is set up so that it can be 100% self-service. You get your own silverware, your own food, and your own drinks. This is actually sort of nice because you get free soft drinks and you can refill whenever you want without awkwardly trying to flag down a waitress from across the room. My boyfriend and I usually like to dine without much disturbance, so we actually preferred being ignored by the staff.
Golden Palace really impressed me today! Great vegetarian selections, unbeatable price, mehh on the service, but overall, I had a very enjoyable meal!
