Decent buffet with a big variety of different dishes. You get a plate with rice and add whatever you want from the buffet, ranging from very spicy fried pork to very mild vegetables. Sadly everything was kind of cold when we have been there... but still, enjoy and try as much as you can.
Yuck!
Food is so oily, very few dishes actually tasted good. Some were awful! Food was either relatively bland or flavored with more oil.
To top it off, I had stomach upset for about 24 hours after, possibly due to all the grease.
However, the staff were very lovely and friendly. We also tried some new foods and learned about different veggies and local items.
Of course the price is awesome for all you can eat, but we ate here once and didn’t even consider returning. Really turned us off of Burmese food, so we ate mostly Indian while in Mandalay.
It is very hard to find a buffet restaurant with many different options for Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarians. Gold Shan is the only restaurant in Mandalay if I am not wrong.
They have two different options
- Buffet style = 5000 kyats
- 4 Curries + Rice = 3500 kyats
We wanted to go here for a dinner. When we came inside and asked for the price lady was thinking about it and then said the price of 5000Kyats. I think it was only because we are forigners... We don't like this behavior... From reviews here we know about the price of 4000Kyats but when she saw three forigners she wanted more and more... It is similar situation I've read in reviews here... This score is mainly about behavior like this.
Excellent deal, good tasty homemade style foods, about 20 different dishes available. Plenty of meat dishes, also many all vegetable dishes.
All you can eat buffet, comes with free soup, raw vegetables like a salad, hot sauces. Fruits at end of meal. All for only K5000. Drink is extra.
Cold beer available here, K2500 for large bottle of Myanmar.
Place is clean (by Myanmar standard). Always see some foreigners eating here, though mostly local Myanmar people customers so you know the foods are really local not fake for tourists.
This place is a lot better than Shan Ma Ma which is a dump (read my review on Shan Ma Ma, more like Filthy Ma Ma).
Must try Golen Shan if you like Myanmar Shan Chinese foods served in buffet.
Nice friendly service.
