I wish I could give less than 1 star. I dont know what is happening on the far southeast side. I took my mom here after a more expensive buffet that we frequent had a diminished quality and selection the same night and I decided to go here because it was the closest buffet to where we were. This was a huge mistake. I wasnt expecting 5 star cuisine, but my goodness I felt like I was in a peasant camp. The food was horrible. The selection was none existent, and the place was filthy. I had to wash the soles of my shoes after we left, because the floors were dirtier than the street outside. One of the selections was actually Vienna sausages for goodness sake, it would have been funny if I hadnt tried to eat something. I am having severe indigestion right now and I barely had anything. I hope I havent picked up anything. They make Golden Corral look like Fogo de Chao. On second thought that isnt fair to either afore mentioned restaurant. This is a standard of food that I didnt think existed in this town. Please spare yourself the atrocity of even entering the place. If you are desperately hungry as we were that night, consider fasting or getting chips and a soda.

This place is horrible!!! Please do not go here. Last night when we first arrived I felt that the price for the amount of food they had was ridiculously high, the quality was horrible, and the food was luke warm. The major problem that I had was the fact that while me and my son was entering the restroom I witnessed one of the waitresses exiting out of the bathroom stall and walking right out of the door, umm wtf! I go to the manager and tell her and low and behold she doesnt speak or understand good english. So I tell my fiance that I want to leave but before we go I see a sign that states employee must wash there hands after they leave the restroom but this sign is not in the bathroom its in the middle of the buffet area again I say WTF!!! On top of this the nasty chick wants to start giving attitude saying that she washed her hands before and Im like before what? I saw her walk right out of the washroom and start collecting plates from the table. When I asked for my money back the manger says you been here for 15 minutes no refund. What lady? I will never ever go here again and I hope that this will help someone else

Ive been coming here with my family ever since I was a kid. And for that, Itll always have a place in my heart. That being said, the place is okay but not out of this world. The marinated chicken on a stick is by far my favorite!! The recipe hasnt changed and it still makes me smile. However, many things on the floor can use a bit of an update. For instance, everything on the right table is either too salty or the flavor doesnt mix well especially the salt and pepper steak. Furthermore, I love sushi but Id stay away from theirs. It doesnt have to do with food safety, it is because it doesnt taste good, like at all. They need fresh fish, fresh rice and do it hourly. They do have ice cream and cake, and a soda machine so you can fancy yourself to a makeshift root beer float. All said and done, are you going to be Wowd No. But its a decent place if you want to stuff your face and those of your familys. As for me, Im still coming even after all these years.

So my husband and I frequent this place often but today go alone and decided to take it to go. Well the price was $ 4.50lb fine. I then loaded some things to my box but to my surprise I had to wait for noodles so while I waited I had an ice cream cone. Finally get to the register and the weight was 1.03 she tells me $ 8.76 I said excuse me but what did I get she say she charged me $2.00 for the ice cream now tell me if I wrong but you know your customer traffic so keep the goods coming to satisfy guest. So I gave her two dollars and told her keep the food she told me I couldnt leave until I paid for the food I didnt want I told her to shove it and she told me Im going to call your husband cause you here all the time I look at her like she was speaking chinese and told her call who ever you need and I turned and walked out

The food is nasty. Had beef pepper steak that taste like chitterlings, yuk!!! Shrimp either over cooked or undercooked. The chicken from Orange chicken is made with dark meat, really makes me wonder if it really was chicken and not some other foreign animal. Wont be going back. And they have the nerve to have a sign up saying take what u want to eat, but eat what u take. If I do take what I think i want to eat, and actually eat it I might die. Great place to eat if u like food that looks like one thing and taste totally different.

I wish I could give a positive review but I cannot. The buffet looks good at first glance but under further inspection....Disappointing. The fried rice (both shrimp and vegetable) had a leftover taste, the beef ribs were tough, the fried chicken yellow and lacking flavor and the fried pork … under-cook. At $8.02 (after tax) for the lunch buffet….I thought the price was fair as it will remind me NOT to go back to New China Buffet. Very Disappointing...will not be back soon

Good Atmosphere, Slightly high prices. However stay away from the cold seafood i.e mussels, peel-and-eat shrimp etc.. Some of its not prepared right. Be aware of dirty silverware, cups, and plates. On a more positive note, if they run out, few seconds later they have it restocked.

This food was great lived near it my whole life and decided to check it out. I have to say hands down was the greatest decision I made today. I will definitely be back many more times. The only thing is it seems a little high was price but other than that perfect.
