New China Buffet

Ok, I understand most China buffets aren’t great and some are sketchy as hell. But THIS one is the WORST ONE I’ve ever been to.
This is dinner time, the food looks like it’s from 2015, taste like it’s from 2012, and I’m praying to the stomach gods I don’t get sick from this.
I would of taken photos, but I’m sure my camera would of broke.
The food, COLD, OLD, unrecognizable and barely edible for my neighborhood possum.
I rarely leave bad reviews, but this place should close. Or get a visit from the health department.

I did not enjoy this visit! The food doesn’t look inviting. I am not impressed. I asked the lady if they will bring out shrimp, at which she told me that dinner starts at 3:30… I walked in the place at 3:15. It’s 3:36 and they still have not brought out other food. I asked since I’ve come at 3:15 you will stop me from taking shrimp and they said yes, you have to pay more. Now how is that normal? The moment I walked in she should have told me that I will be charged more if I stayed half an hour more.

Disappointment.. Place was empty. wings were super dry and overfried. fried rice was a different style than other buffets (it had bits of pork and beef?) Which I wasn’t a fan of, Walnut shrimp had too much mayo… Most of the food was warm and not hot. sushi was dry and didn’t taste good. A lot of free parking in the lot.

Food was very good with a large variety to choose from. Price was perfect, all you can eat with drink included (with free refills) for under $ 10.00 per person.

Its a all you can eat. That should tell you thr food may be suspect. And it is here. Some of it was ok. I don’t remember what any of the names of what i ate were. Its a buffet, i just slopped things on my plate. Its almost worth the price just to see the pitiful excuse of pizza they have there. Ugh I’ve never seen anything else like it. Its like a chef boyardee pizza kit. There is a few pluses, tons of seating, pop was good, fruit was good. That is all. Oh and they have a bathroom. So if you need to urinate, want a cold fountain pepsi, fancy a piece of fruit, you will be overjoyed.

It’s a China Buffet people! Hello! I give it 5 Stars, but 5 Star dining it ain’t!
Upon walking in, you will be greeted at the cash register by young children who must be the children of the owners (someone call DCFS please!). Seriously though, you can tell this is a family run place. I just hope those girls are getting their homework done. They will happily ring you up for $ 10, yes that’s $ 10 for ALL-​YOU-​CAN-​EAT of Chinese deliciousness.
Oh crab rangoon, egg rolls, chicken skewers, chef’s special, beef with broccoli: How I Love You!
The décor is seedy and dumpy. If you stay too long, you will get depressed. They have one guy who busses the tables. He is there every day at every time, no matter when I go. He might sleep in the back room. You should always leave him some $.
The clientele is 90% foreign. Eastern Europeans seem to love this place. They all may need triple bypass surgery in a few years, but the food sure is good. And cheap.
I saved the best for last. ICE CREAM. There are troughs of ice cream in all sorts of delicious flavors. Superman (spelled Supperman), Moose Tracks, and Coconut are the best. PLUS a help-​yourself soft serve machine. If I lived closer, I would pay $ 10 just for the ice cream.
All in all, the most amazing land of deliciousness you can find in the city of Chicago. Better than Alinea and Next combined. Go here and enjoy, you will thank me later!

I frankly dislike any china buffets, but this one has a special ugly place in my heart. It is sooo gross. Their food is insulting. It’s cold, dry, and tasteless. I labeled it as a food crime. It’s swimming in a pool of grease. Unless you enjoy seeing your food float, I recommend that you save yourself the $ 12 and skip this place.

This buffet used to be full every single day, it all changed when the Buffet by the hip renovated. I still think that this buffet has better food.
Need a tray of food when going to a party? (I usually get a tray of salt pepper shrimp from here)

These Chinese buffets are scattered throughout the metro area. They are all pretty much the same. This one may be a little below average. The place seemed to do a steady local business.
Typical selection of fried and sauced Chinese dishes, It seemed all the dishes involved a brown sauce. It would have been nice to see a bland chicken dish or vegetables.
It seems they do a good business consistency from the local populace — that may be a negative because there is no incentive to change or improve. If you’re in the vicinity and need a quick, cheap meal, then go for it.
And of course there’s the obligatory soft serve ice cream machine.

first off… lets not go into this with high expectations ppl… its a buffet… its chinese… and its a chain
now that being said… not all of their food is subpar… is it what ud get ordering from a decent mom n pop shop… no…but if u go close to opening time or happen to stalk them and figure out when food gets changed then some of it is pretty decent
noms i wasnt really thrilled with… fried rice and noodles

With same price, this Buffet provides very limited choice of foods. No small Lobster, No Baby Squid, which you can expect more expensive than other things. With same price, some other buffet in this city provides both above. And it seems that they run out of workers. No one come to take away dishes and there are 6 empty already used dishes left in front of me. The chef perform waiter’s role some times. The only thing good here is baked cakes, breads, and cookies. They taste better than those baked by other Asian buffet’s.

I don’t normally write reviews but this time I feel like I have to say something. If I can save just one person 10 dollars it will have been worth it. This place is just awful. I’ve never seen greasier food. Everything they have out is swimming in oil. They have the smallest unpeeled fried shrimp. I saw people laboriously peeling the fried batter off the shrimp then peeling off the shell all for the smallest amount of meat I’ve ever seen. They also had something they are calling mini lobster. They were actually fried crayfish … and they were mini crayfish at that. These crayfish were so small I can guarantee there was no meat in them.
Why does a Chinese buffet have french fries, onion rings, garlic bread and HAM TACOS? The onion rings were terrible. They were obviously fried in oil at the wrong temperature.
Desserts weren’t bad. The only problem is when I was at the dessert table there was a large green fly landing on all of the fruit. I will say that the soft serve ice cream was nice.
Service was terrible and clientèle was very low class. One guy couldn’t bother putting on a shirt for dinner.
I would never go back to this place again. I had to vent all of my frustrations because I’d hate to see other innocent victims get hurt.

I love Chinese Buffets.
Delicious food and usually always hot. Even have some pretty good sushi rolls.
This place has lots of choices of ice cream and even a capuccino machine. :o
Exactly $ 10 with tax.

Oh no, say it ain’t so!
The other night looking for a specific dish (coconut walnut shrimp) my significant other and I went to New China Buffet. Upon a quick phone call we were told they did carry such dish, but they said they had it named coconut shrimp. Being enthusiastic and hopeful we made our way to the restaurant. First turn off: it was a nice 60 degree evening, and as soon as we stepped into the restaurant we were greeted by a warmer 75 – 80 degree warm front. Seriously, can we turn on the A/​C?
$ 10.00 per person, drinks and dessert included. Second turn off: the restaurant is totally outdated, wall paper is very funky, and the booths have terrible spring like seats. I thought I was back in the early 80s.
The food was sub par, some of the dishes lacked flavor and texture (ex. the hot and sour soup, fried octopus, crab rangoon) the coconut shrimp, salmon, beef and broccoli, dumplings, and desserts were OK. The highlight of this restaurant is that they actually have a bottle of Sriracha Hot Sauce at each table.
Overall, my personal opinion is that I would probably only go here again if I was short on time, and was really not in the mood to drive any further. Other than that, I’d go somewhere else.

This place is horrible! I’ve been here twice, forced twice both times evryone left unhappy. You are better off spending the time to find another one. Food was dry, old, and tasted bad. The tables are old, dirty, and the place smells. We asked for our money back after 10 minutes of trying to make it a good place, they refused to give us back any money. My wife and I left hungry and pissed we just lost all that money. Go some place else!
