First time visit, I had been looking for a good Chinese buffet around the area for years! Just recently I was suggested here, I was pleased. Not a very big place, but they sure make use. The buffet had all the popular items, plus a make your own hibachi bar. Our server was very nice, quick with refills and clearing dirty plates. The host was really nice and funny. I will definitely be back, was still a lot of items I need to try. Definitely recommend read more

This is my uncles favorite place to eat so it's a must to dine here when visiting Clearmont. Many options and surprisingly the sushi was really good and tasted fresh. It is in a plaza with plenty of parking. This is a buffet, very casual wear. The waitress was pleasant. read more

The staff is very friendly and tries very hard to make your experience pleasent. They have made so many improvements to this location. This is my families go to place for our Sunday get together. I would recommend. read more

New Century Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Whenever I visit Florida which is several times a year my Tio brings me here (his favorite place). I actually love this place, it's not that big at all and it's in a shopping plaza so tons of parking, but the food is just so good. The service is pretty good too, you're greeted at the door and brought to your table, asked what drink you want and go about your business. But they make sure to watch your drinks so you don't run out, and they take your plates away pretty quickly which I appreciate, I hate stacked up dirty plates. Even though the place is small the variety of food is very good, everything gets replaced pretty quickly and I just enjoy it here. It's never too hectic or loud for me. A chill ambiance. It's usually older people (my Tio haha) seniors get a discount, but I enjoy coming here with him. read more

I did not like the small place because it does not give a good food or a good cleaning condition there too. The service was ok. read more

Friendly and attentive service. Clean tables and floors. Just wish there were more protein options available. The pictures here on Yelp show much more than what was available when I went for lunch a couple days ago. Otherwise, pretty decent price for an Asian buffet. read more

Doesn't look much but this place is so delicious! It's the first time I find a Chinese buffet joint in central Florida, mainly Orlando tourist area, that I plan on going back and eating! The food was delicious and tasty! I am going to assume it was fresh too as I noticed the cooks coming out and stirring the food. I loved the availability and options of food, rices and meats! What I loved the most, the abundant options of sushi! Overall, food was great and presentable. Service was great and everyone was friendly doing their job. Only down side I would say is the lack of maintaining of furniture and tapestry. I can assume the money mainly goes to the nice updated food warmers and the kitchen! read more

I rated 2 stars because there wasn't much flavor to anything. I had several types of chicken and they all tasted almost the same. The General Tso's chicken had zero spice and it's supposed to be a spicy dish. None of the sushi was labeled so you didn't know what you were eating. The cost was $15.99 when I went plus a drink and tip. The selection is good but the lack of taste from their dishes was very disappointing. I'll give it another try though. Hopefully they were just having a bad day on my visit. read more

New Century Buffet - Sushi - Chinese Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I just love it!!! My girlfriend and I can just walk there. the staff is very friendly and nice. The food is delicious!!

Great selection but I noticed that most of the dishes are very heavy on the sodium side. The service is great and the same waitress has been there since it opened. A very good place to try different Asian cuisine that is affordable. They offer senior discount and is a popular place for lunch. read more

Very hesitant at first but surprisingly it was great. The food was good and they provide gloves if you want and the staff keeps the counters clean and for the price to get hibachi and sushi I would recommend. read more

this was awesome!! i was a little skeptical about coming here because of the reviews but I'm glad i came. They had a very wide selection of food including sushi, crawfish, clams, hibachi, Chinese food, deserts, and even down to chicken fingers for the little ones. The staff was very kind and did not let our table pile up with plates, the place and tables were also well maintained and clean. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Most thing we're really good-pot stickers, chicken with broccoli, egg foo young, lo mein, rice noodles. I wasn't happy with a piece of fried chicken. But there were plenty of choices. Even sushi and a hibachi table. Fruits and desserts. read more

WE enjoyed this dinning experience, but the price for the value was a little off. I do plan on going back.

We had never been here before but was willing to take a chance skeptically. Masks were required as well as gloves and the first time we had our temperature taken. First time ever in going into a restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised in that it was clean, the food great and our server Emily was exceptional. We will visit again read more

We love New Century! We have come in before, and the servers noticed that we do not eat the rice that comes with the salmon and tuna sushi. They are so kind to bring us sashimi plates, and the service is always perfect! The hostess and manager are wonderful, and Monica is always fantastic! Thank you! read more

New Century Buffet - Sashimi - Chinese Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I fancy myself a connoisseur of cheap Chinese buffets (in retrospect, maybe the words connoisseur and cheap don't belong in the same sentence), so I wanted to wait until the 2nd time I came here before I put down my thoughts to digital, social media. Always have been there for the $8.95 lunch buffet (2016/2017) 1. Decent-sized buffet. A bit lacking on typical Chinese entrees, but there's plenty enough other choices too. 2. Some American food like pizza for the kids. 3. Tons of fruit! 4. Sushi selection isn't vast, but more than a dozen types of rolls out and pretty fresh. 5. Habachi I've somehow managed to avoid twice now, but the offerings look fresh and many other people were in line to get their food cooked, I was content with other offerings. 6. Egg rolls - disappointing 7. The General Tso's chicken was pleasantly & surprisingly spicy! 8. Hot & spicy shrimp could keep me away from Red Lobster's Endless Shrimp! So damn good! 9. Always have had happy & pleasant to mildly disinterested (yet responsive) staff to help me. 10. Lots of sauces out & the Won Ton Soup was delicious! Not the best I've ever had, but a decent choice (also, the only one in like 15 miles)! read more

Went here for the dinner buffet at 11.99 per person. I checked the latest restaurant inspection report first (was in Dec 2014) and there were zero violations so we decided to check it out. It was a pretty full house so that was a good sign. There were plenty of choices to satisfy the picky eaters. Typical Asian buffet choices with a mix of Japanese, Chinese and American selections. Sushi was good but not great. The same statement applies to most of the buffet choices that I tried. Nothing to write home about but there were a few standouts. The coconut shrimp was tasty and sweet. Also, the black pepper chicken was tender and pretty good. Overall good value and prompt service. read more

Food all tasted left over/ came on Thursday at 5:50. Had to default to the habachi bar so I would know my food wasn't old. We had egg rolls soggy and sushi Anyway tried few different dishes before defaulting. I definitely pass it up next time I'm craving a buffet read more

Traced my food poisoning to this place due to contaminated food and improper food handling, workers need to remove their aprons when the go to the bathroom and wash hands after going to the bathroom. Spent 24 hours in the hospital. I would be careful eating here. read more

Typical Chinese buffet. They give 1 disposal glove to use/reuse when you go thru the buffet line. Had a variety of food, including sushi and hibachi grill. Limited vegetarian food. There were 4 dishes of hot food, including veggie fried rice, veggie noodles, 1 potato dish, 1 veggie delight. There was also some ready made salads and 2-3 different types of fresh fruits. Another vegetarian option is to use the hibachi grill where you can choose your veggies. No tofu option, which I find strange at a Chinese restaurant. Service could have been better. I was constantly keeping an eye out for the server as I needed something. I was half-way through my meal when the server came to check up on me to see if I needed anything. Everything was going well until I checked out, and this is why I give this establishment 2 stars. When I got to the front of the line to pay for my meal, the employee (white lady) took my credit card, and then started talking to the white female customer behind me. The white employee processed the white customer's receipt first, making me (Asian female) wait. I was pretty upset. When the white employee saw my expression, she said sorry but did not further explain why she processed the white customer behind me first when I was next to be served. I find this act pretty racist. In light of everything that is going on in our country with Asian hate, this person should be fired for discrimination. Until this person is fired, I will not go back to this establishment. #StopAsianHate read more

We've been here twice and both times were not impressed. The food was not great on either visit and the last time we went the chicken and broccoli had a distinct chemical taste. Both times, the person running the register at the door was super friendly, but that's the only positive I have to offer. read more

Staff was very friendly. Place looks clean and the restaurant was following all precautions due to covid. Not much variety at all. The hot food tasted like it's been out for a while, for ex egg roll was very stale. Upside to this place was their sushi was fresh and they did have about 6 different kids. read more

Food is sub par. Also witnessed a blonde get up 4 times without a mask (yawn in her hands and touch utensils, snack on food as she was walking the buffet line etc.) and when I pointed out they said "it's recommended that we wear masks, oh sorry". But the moment another woman (not blonde) got up to approach the line, they hit her with the "miss" and had the audacity to point to her face... the other woman (not blonde) apologized and went to go get her mask while the blonde continued to breathe freely. Must be nice. read more

First time at the new Century Buffet I'm not a good Chinese food the only thing that was good was the crab rangoon so that's why I just give it to Stars read more

Very nice, the food was well cooked and tasty. Server was kind and the place looks clean and nicely themed. read more

New Century Buffet - Bar area - Chinese Near Me - Clermont, Florida

The people who work here are some of the nicest around. Kind, respectful, courteous, and all around friendly. Unfortunately, the food was not any of those things. The food was cold, tasted and smelled of some kind of cleaning agent and the overall selection was not all that great. I was already going to get charged for the meal so I made the best of it, and boy do I regret it. Thankful that the Pepsi was good, but I spent the rest of my night vomiting and my shower this morning also included another 20 minute vomit session. I will probably never return here. And it sucks because the people were so nice, but something must be done about the quality of the food. read more

Worst experience ever in any restaurant. I would give a negative star if I could. Literally kicked out because owner/manager said he wasn't making any money on me because I had a second serving of oyster. He asked me if I know how much they cost??? What???? I told him there was not a sign stating a limit and your sign says "All You Can Eat." I then asked him, what about the crab? He stated that was different. I don't think he understands the concept. If you decide to dine here, beware "Big Brother"" is watching how much you eat and might be asked to leave. One oyster per visit please. This place is a joke. Unbelievable!!! read more

it's july 2019. only 20 reviews posted to date. hmmmm. where are all the other 547 reviews under the OTHER listing ( also unclaimed by the business ??? ) ? ok. let's start again. this grimy buffet has been here for - what ? - over twenty years now? and at a couple dollars less than the corral across the street, it is what it is; a 10usd ayce buffet. if you have traveled ( even a little ) around the world then ( not epcot, noob ) you lay yur money down and ya takes yur chances. it is mostly yuk ! but not all. they, the owners as far as know and from what i can tell, have NEVER upgraded ANYTHING. but someone sure removed the OTHER restaurant listing for this place, and started a new one just recently. maybe if the stars average falls below 1 star, yelp removes it ! oh special note : if you recently spoke to your primary physician and he didn't hear about your love for this place, i won't tell him. our lil secret. our hidden gem. but when you go here to comfort your eating disorder, keep all the receipts in your wallet ,,, if not just to help the coroner investigation. read more

Terrible service from the owner!!! My family and I served our food. They went and got some hibachi. The owner started harassing my wife threatening her that if she didn't eat everything he was going to charge her a fee of $5.99. He was very rude. I walked over and told him, "That's a good way to lose customers." He told me he didn't care and that we could go. He started talking about his policies. I told him my wife only served herself hibachi and did not get anything else. He continued to grumble and complain. He was very rude. We left. Beware of the extra charge. It's completely subjective. If he decides you waisted he will charge you. Very rude owner. We will not be back. read more

Average at best. If it didn't have sushi I would have given it 2 stars. They did have freshly made Chinese offerings that were a little above average, but for a buffet that costs over $20 for lunch I expected better. read more

Can't say a lot it's a buffet. Food is ok. Seats need to be refurbished. Price is ok I didn't eat much cause I'm not one for a buffet I went for my kids. read more

AWESOME PRICE, AWESOME FOOD!!! So, I just stumbled into this place with a friend and I could eat there every day. This place has sushi-and it was good! It has all you can eat raw oysters!!! It also has Italian, American, Chinese foods, desserts and more! Even fried plantains!!! And it all was great! So good and for only $10 or so bucks, it was the best deal in Orlando. I live in LA and here it would be at least $25-40. My big recommendations are the coconut chicken, plantains, sushi and oysters but all of it was great. They also have beer & wine which is nice. It was awesome. Anybody who says less, is either spoiled or wrong. :) read more

It's a Chinese buffet. Don't expect fine dining and you won't be disappointed. I don't give it 5 stars as compared to all restaurants, ever. I give it 5 stars as compared to other Chinese buffets. And I don't compare it to takeout, because that's a different category. Just like you don't compare Golden Corral to Boston Market. Of course buffets are more expensive, but you're getting something for the extra $3. If you don't value that something, don't go. But don't ding them because of the category they're in. Judge a thing based on what that thing is - not what you wish it to be. Lunch is better than dinner, because it's cheaper and, more importantly, because it's fresher. They appear to have a bigger lunch crowd than a dinner one. Thus, the food is turned over more often. We just went yesterday at 2:00 pm. It was delish! We have been there dozens of times and will return again. Oh, and my wife loves the included sushi! For that alone, the price is worth it to her. And no, we've never had food poisoning from New Century. If you're afraid of that, you really ought to do more homework on the places you patronize. The service isn't service, per se. After all, it's a buffet. They have quiet Asian women who efficiently run around cleaning up and refilling drinks. They are polite and respectful. ALWAYS TIP!!! At least a few bucks. Don't be cheap. read more

Yuck. Usually my fat arse goes to town on Chinese buffets and I never expect high quality or gourmet food from a buffet, but.... Yuck! I don't know how people like this place. I couldn't even finish the plate. Total waste of money and time. Cons: Food - I think I'm gonna be sick just thinking about what I ate. Selections - Or lack there of The steak on the hibachi looked weird - Greyish instead of red Pros: Servers were attentive on drink refills Do yourself a favor and save your money by going somewhere else. read more

It's funny (?) to think of a mall buffet restaurant as a destination - but my husband and I are always up to the drive to Claremont (45 minutes), to eat here - (we have friends in the area who love it as well). The $ is right, the selection vast, and everything we have tried is well cooked and tasty. Deserts are not made on premises, (they are served in their containers - need to work on that), there is a hibachi cooked to order, as well as Sushi and Chinese dishes. I only wish the wait staff spoke better English - some are more fluent than others, but that's part of the ambiance read more
