Golden Corral Brings Endless Buffet to Covina

Enthusiastic all-you-can-eat-buffet fans in Covina are in for a treat with the grand opening of a brand new Golden Corral restaurant last week.

Located at 1459 North Citrus Avenue, just off Arrow Highway, the newest location of America’s largest and most popular buffet brand is the first in Covina and one of more than 15 in the Golden State. Golden Corral shares a parking lot with Harbor Freight Tools and Superior Grocers.

Formerly a hibachi buffet, the new Golden Corral has been remodeled to feature the company’s updated Gateway design. The spacious building covers 12,500 square feet and has the capacity to host 455 diners. In addition to local guests being treated to its delicious food at an incredible value, the restaurant has brought 200 new jobs to the area, including servers, cooks, hosts, and managers.

“We are blessed to be able to serve an abundance of delicious homemade offerings to the community of Covina,” said franchisee Leon Lin. “We love this city and plan to stick around for a long time. I look forward to welcoming new friends to the restaurant over the next several weeks.”

On June 4, the restaurant hosted employees and their families for an exclusive lunch and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The City Council, Mayor and City Manager of Covina were also in attendance.

Covina’s new Golden Corral is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Golden Corral strives to make pleasurable dining affordable for all families. While its commitment begins each day with preparing delicious food, Golden Corral also believes in providing outstanding hospitality and giving back. Service to others is a hallmark of the Golden Corral brand.

In 2023, Golden Corral was recognized as one of the nation’s top 50 “Most Loved Brands” by Yelp. They were also recognized for valuing their customers and providing excellent customer service by Newsweek, “America’s Best Customer Service 2024.” Golden Corral restaurants nationwide have long been strong supporters of the U.

S. Military and DAV (Disabled American Veterans). Golden Corral is also the founding sponsor of Camp Corral, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation, which provides free, one-of-a-kind summer camp experiences for children of wounded, injured, ill or fallen service members.

Golden Corral is the largest National Buffet chain, offering delicious comfort food classics allowing guests to create their own unique and perfect plate.
