1st it was packed when i walked in with my family, so i was like ...ok np, food must be good, until we went to sit down. they had to pass us along to another waiter cause he didnt speak a lick of english. OK...whatever..its a chinese restaurant.. so they then motioned us to to sit at a table that was not only taken[ from what i saw a few moments later] the table had dirty dishes, obviously from the current patron up getting another plate...[ OMG ..are you serious, i thought], i said "no thanks, you have anything clean?" he then turns and says " yes yes..here..this ok?, as we say nothing and sit with a bewildered look on our faces. the table was clean-ish, but the seats still had stuff in them.The food was ok...but i did only get one drink the whole visit, which again i gave them the B of the doubt due to how busy they was. we got our plates, biut found we all but lost our appetites cause it was so hot...like it was hotter in there then it was outside. . seriously. we still tried to eat just to make up for, or eat some of the $27 worth of food. what made us just up and leave was when i looked over at a male employee, siiting across from us. This kid was not wearing gloves...i watched him adjust his greasy glasses..(no lie)wipe his eyes, pick his nose, and touch his hair...all while rolling up the silverware into napkins. i almost lost it. we immediately left. Family time at this establishment...in my opinion. . not recommended.

Its your typical Chinese buffet. Mediocre food in abundance. Great if youre hungry and want to eat a lot for a low price. Drink is included too! Ive been to a lot of Chinese buffet restaurants all over the country. The food here is pretty tasty in my opinion and the price is good. Want better food? Expect to pay twice the price. It meets my expectations and i liked it more than Panda Express. Dont come here for the ambience and great service. Pay the cashier, eat your food and go. They do play pretty good background Chinese music through. They seriously need to fix their sign. Almost all their bulbs are out and you cant see all their words at night. I came here twice so far and its a bit odd that Im the only Chinese customer in the restaurant.

After tax, dinner costs $11.08 for an adult. That is a reasonably priced buffet, but a little steep for a Chinese buffet. Like most Chinese buffets, the condition of the food is slightly soggy, but tasty. The staff is remarkably anti-social and disturbingly zombielike. The dining room is not any more "disgusting" than your average Peter Piper Pizza, but I recommend only eating hot food if you dont want to get sick. I would never trust fresh fruits, veggies and room temp deserts in a place like this. I give it 3 stars because although I have the mildest of concerns for my safety, the wings are delicious. If youre thinking from this review that New China Buffet might not be for you... youre probably right. Bon appetit!

What seems like your typical hole in the wall decent chinese buffet definitely surprised me once I tried the food. When you walk in you see a normal looking chinese buffet but with a lot of food and most of it being delicious. The orange chicken was definitely fresh and tasted much like oranges and citrus. I noticed a truck in the back that was hauling in crates of oranges so that would explain the freshness of it. I didnt like the cream cheese wontons personally because it was more of a crab stuffed thing. Other than that, the food was delicious. As far as cost goes, the lunch price was very reasonable. $6.99, cant get much better than that! And yes, they do have pepsi products. :)

The food tasted very good, but the restaurant was notably dirty. Tables, floors and serving dishes were not clean, and ledges were extremely dusty. Visible cleanup staging areas were sloppy to the point that one did not feel confident that proper cleaning and upkeep could take place. Cleaning materials, including mops and buckets containing cleaning solutions with food waste, were stored too close to the buffet serving tables. Several hours after returning from the restaurant my wife and I both had upset stomaches, which for me is extremely rare. We also endured another common digestive disorder which has persisted into the following day.

I thought the $6.99 dinner buffet coupon was a good deal, so my husband and I tried it last night. Although the food itself wasnt bad (although not very warm), the restaurant itself was filthy! One look into the kitchen, towards the end of my meal had me convinced that Id not be back. The areas around the food trays was unkept and the rags employees were using to clean these areas were very dirty. The carpeting, floors, chairs, tables and items on the table were also dirty. I didnt even want to venture into the bathroom. Unfortunately I spent more time in my own bathroom than necessary after eating at this "restaurant".

Im not exactly sure how this place is still in business. I have never been so disgusted in my life. The flies, crusty food on the walls, and the unsanitary drink station were pretty much the worst I have ever seen. Dont be fooled by the coupons. It is not worth it. The food was not held at the proper temperatures, customers were seen returning to the buffets with used plates, and the drink station was clogged, over flowing onto the floor. The wet floor sign didnt do it justice! The people bringing food out from the kitchen were just as gross looking as the floors.... I should have known better.

I saw roaches after finishing my meal and leaving the restraunt i saw them running by! The food was greasy and not freshly prepared. I soon after got food poisoning and i felt terrible! This place desperately needs to be reported to Dirty Dining and a health inspector! How are the owners in business? Im sure that their are illegal immagrants working there! The cooks are old peverted hispanics! This place is SO gross and disgusting NO ONE who values there health should never even enter this place!

Its just nasty, all of it. I would go through and describe the food and say what all is wrong with it but everything was bad, from the fountain drinks to the sushi rolls to the chicken it was just nasty. Overcooked, undercooked, dry, soggy, tasteless are just a few words to describe some of the many items I attempted to eat. Go here if you want, but youve been warned. This is the second time weve tried this place over the last couple years and nothing has changed.

Food has good flavor. Bus staff does not wipe down tables. Our table was still sticky and dirty from the last person that sat there. Waitress was angry because I asked for a clean wet towel to wipe our table. Womens bathroom is dirty. There was Toilet paper all over the floor in the stalls. Floor was very sticky. They need to do a better job of keeping their place clean. $23 for 2 people is a lot of money to pay to eat in a dirty restaurant. Wont be back.

With each and every bite I took, I thought to myself... "I am soooo getting food poisoning" This place is horrible. On the up side though, they did invent a new type of chicken that taste like rubber. If you need to go to the bathroom its easy to find. Just go through the door that has spray paint all over it to cover up graffiti that use to be on it. Once you go through that door keep your guard up... Cause I really felt like I might get raped... DO NOT EAT HERE!
