" The experience at New China Buffet was fairly average, as I expected a wide array of authentic dishes but found most of what was offered to be subpar. The sesame chicken was decent, but a lot of the other menu items just didn’t taste right. The price doesn’t match up with the quality of food served—around 15 dollars per person, and I felt like I should have gotten better for that price point. Service was pretty regular, as we rarely saw our server. I think it would be hard to recommend this place based on how unappealing everything felt. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at New China Buffet was rather unimpressive. I often enjoy buffets because of the variety, but here, many of the food trays were almost empty as if they hadn’t been replenished in quite some time. The food itself was lukewarm at best, which really takes away from the enjoyment of a meal. I was looking for authentic Chinese flavors, but most of the dishes tasted generic and overly sweet or bland. On the plus side, the dessert selection was decent, and I did enjoy a couple of items from there. However, the overall atmosphere felt rundown, and I left feeling unsatisfied. I won't be recommending this place to friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here late one evening. The buffet was particularly sparse, and those few items available were either cold or unpalatable. I felt a sense of dread about the freshness of the food; it wasn't a pleasant dining experience. There were minor cleanliness issues that caught my attention, which made me momentarily lose my appetite. I felt as if we paid too much for what we ended up receiving in terms of food quality and overall ambiance. Honestly, it's worth considering other places in the area before deciding on this one again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for New China Buffet based on the reviews, but my visit left me disappointed. The food was not fresh and lacked the authentic flavors I love about Chinese cuisine. Even the rice felt overly sticky and not properly cooked. We were quite hungry, so we were hoping for generous portions, but the options were sparse, and what little there was could have been better. The prices were a bit high for the quality of food as well. Additionally, the service was less than ideal, with hardly any attention from staff throughout our meal. Overall, I wouldn't recommend making a stop here if you're craving quality Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited New China Buffet on a whim while passing through the area and boy, was that a mistake. Not only was the food often cold and stale, but also lacked the authenticity typical of a Chinese buffet. The staff's lack of attention further compounded the issues. The interior could use a significant overhaul to create a more appealing atmosphere. Frankly, I won’t be coming back as there are far better options elsewhere. Save your money and time.

" After hearing mixed reviews about New China Buffet, I decided to give it a try for myself. Unfortunately, my experience mirrored the negative feedback I had come across online. The food was not only cold but also seemed quite stale, lacking the vibrant flavors one would expect from a Chinese buffet. Although there were a few dishes that were decent, the overall selection was disappointing. Service was also lackluster, with the staff appearing disinterested in helping us. The atmosphere felt dated and uninviting, which added to my overall dissatisfaction. I do not believe I will return anytime soon, as I was hoping for a vibrant dining experience that matched the cuisine's cultural roots. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing is an understatement for my recent visit to New China Buffet. Although the location had an inviting exterior, the interior was far from clean, and the buffet was lacking most options. The food tasted old, and none of the dishes matched what I know of authentic Chinese flavors. The service was incredibly slow, with staff mostly absent from the dining area. I left feeling unsatisfied and wouldn't recommend this buffet, as it didn't live up to my expectations or cravings for good Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)
