Finally made it to a Golden Corral... and found out that one of the reasons it's called that is because you're corralled into line just to get in. Seriously, even though we showed up after 1 pm, we had to wait 30 minutes! Sheesh!\n\nWe paid the lunch price ($8.99, not counting drinks) - if anything, most of the food was worth the wait. I LOVED the Bourbon Chicken, the Sweet and Sour Pork, and their fried chicken liver and grilled beef liver, as well as the garlic cheese bread. The dessert bar is also worth checking out - any place that has cotton candy and a chocolate fondue fountain as dessert options has my stamp of approval.\n\nThe negative two stars are for the size of the place - it feels very cramped - and for not being able to fill your own drinks. Then again, the wait staff do a great job checking the tables and refilling your drinks (Chinese buffets, take note).\n\nOverall, with more options than Hometown Buffet, I can see why Golden Corral is quite popular (especially as it appears there aren't many locations in So Cal). Worth going to again... just maybe not on peak periods.
