My boyfriend and I been wanting to try this place since we live close by and seen they have a $10 lunch special. The cashier was friendly and the environment was.... Very vintage. It's not an upscale buffet whatsoever but we were just excited to try the food. Well the overall food experience was just disappointing. Lo mein noodles had no flavor, rice noodles were ICE COLD, honey chicken/chicken and broccoli/ general tso chicken/ pepper chicken was lackluster and straight mushy. The chicken wings and dumplings tasted good but yet again the dumplings were COLD. My boyfriend was disappointed that there were no fresh fruit, he said they were just straight canned fruits and no taste. We were just overall disappointed. I would say spend the extra 5-10 dollars and find another buffet with flavorful and hot food. read more

Is it even worth a one star???? All the food was cold. I came here because I haven't been to this one in a long while. None of the food was hot Not even warm. All tasted old. The seats were need to be replaced, you can tell they been here since the Shoney's days and no cushion, you can feel the wood. Everything is dated. read more

The food is good and good selection.The staff are super nice But this place needs a major update.The carpet is old,,the booth needs updating.tables are cracked and taped . Over all the price is not bad,$30 for 3 adults including drinks read more

I don't know how this place is even still in business! I ordered China Chef from DoorDash and didn't realize it was the same place. It's too far from my house for delivery but apparently I was wrong. Everything in this place tastes like it came from a can. The sauces, the soups. The ingredients themselves seem fresh but once you pour garbage sauce all over it, it gets inedible. They put extremely large chunks of fake crab in the Happy Family and the smallest frozen shrimp. The egg drop soup smelled like rotten eggs upon opening, closed it immediately. It was a crazy loud yellow unlike any egg drop soup I've ever seen. The hot and sour soup had managed to congeal on the ride. The lo mien was awful with what I can assume was lettuce in it because it definitely wasn't cabbage. The crunchy wontons for the soup were burnt and also somehow soggy. The literal only edible thing I got was the crab wontons. The menu said 4 and I got 10 so at least I didn't starve. I went to look up where this food came from and found it was the same terrible buffet I hadn't been to in 5 years because it was so bad. read more

China Chef Buffet - House lo mein, Happy Family, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup straight in the trash - Chinese Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

Desperate for a sit down place.in Newnan, we came here as a family hoping to cure our Chinese food cravings. The buffet is what you expect with the standard offerings,but the food wasn't very hot temperature wise and it was not very flavorful or spice robust. The waitress didn't come to our table much for our drink refills, and it was during waiting for them, that I noticed that there were what I thought were fruitflies in the windows. My family member told me there much like the bugs you find in flour or grain bins. That got me thinking... Anyway, we won't be back. On the eay out, the lady at the register looked like the matron of the operation and she looked like she was done caring. read more

Very good for the price and quantity, I tried alot of different things and they were all good. Anyone who is giving a bad review is a Karen and should not be at an all out can eat buffet expecting tier one food. The guy working the front was super kind and felt very wholesome. read more

just not that good food was cooked to hard and dry they are letting it run down hill the place outside is in bad shape you have to fix your own drinks and no service at all there score was 83 will not be going back to this place read more

Delicious buffet, the crawfish were delicious as was almost everything. I recommend that you go during the lunch or dinner time slots, 11-2 or 4-6 because everything will be fresher. read more

Found a bug in my food i ordered last night, and took a picture of it. If you order from here check your food. read more

China Chef Buffet - Ordered egg fried rice, it came with some extra ingredients - Chinese Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

I've rarely seen such an extensive Chinese buffet. If I recall correctly, there were 4 long steam tables, each with at least 12 pans of food. I resisted the urge to try one of everything; restricted myself to Beef Pepper Steak with Onions, two soups, one Egg Roll and two dessert confections. The Beef Pepper Steak was very good. If we ever return, I'll be sure to have more of that. Same for the Hot & Sour Soup. Very good, with homemade crispy noodles. Also the Egg Roll. Fairly typical Egg Roll, which is to say good. Unfortunately, I could not find any packets of Hot Mustard. I should have asked. I wish I could say the same for the Wonton Soup. Very bland. Adding salt did not help. I was unable to finish my small bowl of perhaps 2 cups. Desserts: Quite an array of confections, in a separate area from the steam tables. I had about 4 Macaroons and 1 slice of Tiramisu. Not knocking my socks off, but good for a small bite of sweetness. I was a guest in a party of 4. China Chef Buffet would not be my first choice for Chinese in the Newnan area, but I'd willingly go again as a guest. The store was reasonably clean, although the ladies' room was a bit trashy. Quite a bit of paper on the floor. All personnel were very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy in the dedicated lot. read more

See all

My experience at this place is always AMAZING. I honestly cant believe the other reviews. I just moved here from out of state and have been trying all the chinese places to find my "Go To" and let me tell you this is it. Not just the best chinese food in Newnan, but the best Chinese ive had anywhere! On top of that the workers here are some of the nicest people ive run into in Newnan and always go out of there way to make us happy. Please give this place a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

This used to be the best Chinese restaurant in Newnan. Under the new ownership it has gone downhill fast. The food on the buffet has no flavor. Their fried foods taste and look like they don't clean or change their fryer oil. The won tons are over fried and stale. They don't put out homemade hot mustard sauce or wasabi sauce. Just the terrible mustard sauce in the packets. No flavor. read more

Most the food was only warm. Several dishes were empty. Waitress seemed like she was exhausted. Not very busy. Probably won't go here again.

If I could give 0 stars, I would....This place is disgusting and this can be seen as soon as you park your car. Entrance is dirty, floor tiles are cracked and overall appearance of outside is definitely a preview of what to expect on the inside... Bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in weeks. My son is 9, and told ne he had just lost his apetite after using the men's bathroom. Food: options are limited and some of the food looks like its been sitting there from the day before... They have dirty tables with plates on them, servers are in the front chatting with manager, instead of doing their job. I ate some of the "fried rice" if you want to call it that and that's it! My son and husband couldn't get themselves to finish anything on their 1st plate. After 15 mins, we paid and left. I do not recommend this place and I can't believe this place is open for business, it is scary that people here would have such low standards when it comes to food. You couldn't pay me to try this place again... read more

4 stars because we really wanted Chinese wings and they do not sell them. The food was really good, ready quickly, portions were on point. Friendly staff as well. read more

The food is just what you'd expect from a restaurant like this, it has great flavor (especially from the soup it's just like chefs kiss), there's a variety of different meals and fruit. The service is very low key and it really adds to the chill environment this place offers. They kinda ate it up read more

This was the worst and it seems to be a mom and pop so I don't take that lightly. The only good part about the Buffet was the fruit. The egg rolls were typical but everything else I tried was not edible. Everything was cold and soggy. The fried rice was hard and the noodles were cold. Granted we came to eat at 1:20pm, but with plenty of cars left in the parking lot I was hopeful. Pros: Cheap and good fruit, Cons: Walking out hungry. read more

China Chef Buffet - a sign for a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

Came in for a quick lunch before the Braves game based off the reviews. The service was good and the price was great ($5.99/person). However, there was no shrimp or crab (apparently that's dinner only, but a lot of people requested it) and a lot of the food was picked over. Walnut chicken was amazing. Overall, it was a good experience but I've had better. read more

Probably the most affordable Chinese buffet in the city of Newnan. At a rock-bottom price of $5.49 per person, they offer a selection of over 60 food items. Service is always fast! Anyone who enters will immediately be offered to to be seated. They keep their service simple as possible. Party size, drink preference, and you're good to go! Lunch is generally busy at this place so food on the bar gets replenished frequently, so expect fresh food during those hours! Also, pay special attention to the dish, Walnut Chicken, it is the best! read more

What this restaurant lacks in curb appeal, more than makes up for it with its food. It is Americanized Chinese food exactly the way I've come to not only expect, but also crave in the southeast. Will be returning and spreading the word about this delicious and AFFORDABLE Chinese buffet. Less than 6 bucks for lunch, who could beat that?? Slay China Chef Buffet. read more

Run of the mill Chinese buffet located in the old Shoney's building that throws in some American fare to beef up the choices. Friendly and fast service coupled with a plethora of buffet items all for a small price, usually under $6 per person. I have been here several times with family, mainly during lunch, and even at their busiest times they make sure to keep the food stocked, while keeping the service up as well. Overall, no major complaints here. If you are looking for options that comes with a cheap price and friendly service, this place is for you. read more

I went here for the first time for the dinner buffet. The best part was the service. The owners are really friendly, greet you and seat you immediately upon entering. No wait. They smile and are kind and pleasant and this alone made it an enjoyable experience for me. As far as the food, it was mediocre. I found the flavor to be lacking a little bit, and I tried different things but nothing jumped out at me as being exceptional. It wasn't bad though. The deserts were just ok. The atmosphere is descent. The building was somewhat old but I still liked it because it is in an uncrowded part of Newnan and it wasn't busy and was pretty quiet. There were a few people in there but not being crowded always makes for a more enjoyable experience. In conclusion, it was worth it mainly because of the warm, cozy environment that exists due to the owners being welcoming and pleasant, mainly the husband. The food wasn't amazing, maybe average, but I left feeling full and for a buffet it did what it needed to do. read more

Everything was fresh and delicious especially late at night which was surprisingly refreshing to find. Good place to go. Thank you

As of Oct. 2017 I see they have a health score of C. I hadn't noticed that before I suggested to friends that we go here for lunch yesterday while passing through Newnan. The place seemed rather dingy, thought maybe it could be because it's an old building but the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. So the food, if you don't really care & just want basic run of the mill Chinese food for cheap w/ mass quantities, you'll probably be very happy with this place. If you've cooked a lot of these dishes yourself, you'll be able to tell it's cheap, store bought style box mix foods that have too much fat, salt, sugar etc. read more

It was very good the price is well only thing was th sweet and sour chicken had this weird after taste different from what I'm used too but it was good overall read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious and the workers are so sweet and always comes by to make sure everything is good. The bathrooms are clean. My family rarely goes due to financial problems but whenever we show up, they know our names and get excited when we come in. read more

Most of the food had a good flavor, but none of it was warm. It probably would have been pretty good if any of it had been warm. Also, I called in advance to ask whether they have a salad bar on the buffet. I was told they did. The "salad bar" consisted of leaves of lettuce, sliced tomatoes, canned fruit, and mayo covered broccoli. Definitely wasn't worth the $10 per person. read more

I was not impressed at all. We came for the first time at 12:15 on Jan 1 a Sunday, and everything tasted old and recycled. Nice selection of choices but nothing tasted good and fresh. Not the sushi, shrimp, oysters, noodles, rice, chicken, veggies, etc. And the temperature of the food was not hot. More like lukewarm. And price was 9.20 each. That would be fine if food was tasty but it was not. Servers were nice. My search for a good Chinese buffet in the area continues. read more

Best damn Chinese buffet I've ever had! It wasn't packed! The food was amazing! And the service is extraordinary!! Never have I ever eaten in an establishment quite like this! If you're choosing a Chinese buffet to eat then stop yourself here and slap yourself for not choosing this place! You don't have to question anything! The only question you should have is why are you not on the way already. The food is hot and plentiful! It's fresh so no worries there! Don't allow yourself to be disappointed by other Chinese buffets choose this one! read more

It's not the nicest or biggest buffet (and the only one in Newnan for a while) and the location isn't as great either but the food is always good. Plenty of different items to choose from for a small buffet. The owners are very friendly. We like to go here after a long day at work and do not feel like cooking. I just wished it was closer to our side of town. read more

Great food, great food options, great service, and great prices. Two people can eat for under 14 dollars and the food is always warm and plentiful. Definitely one of the best Chinese buffets I have been to in awhile. The food flavors are on point. I always have the peppered steak, chicken BBQ, and the chicken and broccoli and I am never disappointed. read more

The food is fresh and delicious！The staff is so nice，and the food is always tasty and warm . the price is so cheap！There is nothing to complain about. Can't wait to go back read more

My family so love this restaurant, we come every week , they honey chicken so good,here have good service 、good prices、 good food ,evening is excellent . read more

This restaurant smelled nasty when we walked in and some of the food was dry and nasty the workers were very nice tho

Very cheap lunch buffet (5.49 per person), good, friendly service, and pretty good food. I'll certainly be coming back here.

This is my favorite restaurant! All of their food is excellent and always fresh. The employees are very sweet and you will always be seated the second you walk in the door. It is very cheap to eat here for lunch and for dinner. Lunch is $5.49 and dinner is $7.49 per person. Their to-go plates are $4 a pound and I stuff my box full and only pay about $5. I eat here at least 3 times a week. My only complaint is that they don't have a variety of sushi. They only have a California roll. I have been going here for years and I'm still waiting for more sushi but by far my favorite restaurant! read more

We eat there twice a month. Variety choices, great price! My kids love their food. It is definitely a great buffet in the town.

We eat here often. Steven and Ashley are the owners. A very nice young couple working hard to have a great place for you to enjoy. They always have a great health score! We have never been disappointed with our food or service! It is buffet but you can order off the menu. Heck I have even told them how I wanted my dish cooked and with what spices and sauce I wanted. When it arrived,it was exactly what I wanted. My hubby loves egg fuyoun, when we sit down if there is none on the bar, they cook it up and deliver it to him without asking! We dine in most if the time but occasionally do take out by the pound. Oh my nothing like having your own buffet at home. Great value by the pound! Give them a try you will not be disappointed! read more

This place has the BEST salt & pepper chicken. Always crispy and delicious. I give it four stars because while the pepper chicken is the bomb, it is a fairly standard Chinese buffet. read more

Fantastic food with a good price. I am never disappointed when we eat there. Does not leave you with a lead feeling in your stomach like other Asian establishments do. I highly recommend this place! read more
