We arrived just after they open at 11 am. There were many senior customers for early lunch. Our first time here as we were having vacation here. The varieties of food cover everything from salads, vegetables, meat and fish. There's hibachi and sushi and desserts. I love their variety of vegetables, the beef is tender. Their ice creams taste so good. Besides, their prices are so acceptable. read more

You want it! They got it. I love their egg drop soup. It doesn't have carrots in it. I also pigged out on their sushi. Delicious. He got the sweet and sour soup. He said it was a little spicy. Plus he went back for another plateful. If you see me there, stop by and say hello. read more

I've been to the Myrtle Beach area many times and I've never come in here. I fully regret it now. Outside of where I live, this is the best buffet I've been to hands-down. Plenty of parking outside. Clean restaurant with lots of cool decor. The staff are amazing. Our waitress checked on as every few minutes to either clean the table or get us drink drinks. The food is amazing. Lots of different choices. My kids are very picky. They found a bunch of food they could eat. They have the regular buffet, sushi, bar, and hibachi. Lots of choices with the sushi and hibachi. I went up a few times to hibachi to try the different sauces with different meat options. Some great desserts and ice cream also. Prices for the buffet are affordable even for a big family. I will 1000% return when I'm back in Myrtle Beach. read more

Definitely a diamond in the rough! New China Buffet may not be the fanciest-looking place from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The buffet is very reasonably priced, there's a good variety to choose from, and the food is actually really good. If you're looking for a solid, affordable Chinese buffet in Surfside Beach without all the unnecessary frills, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great value for the money! read more

Always wonderful! Have been going here for 20 years and it has not changed! Has always been delicious!

The best Chinese buffet my husband and I have been to since COVID. We decided to try this one last October on vacation and it was good, many options to choose from. We decided to try again on vacation this time was even better, the habachi grill was delicious cooked perfectly. . The fried rice is not overcooked, great flavors on buffet not watered down and freshly stocked. I don't eat sushi but it looks as if people were enjoying it. Service is excellent, friendly watiers. The only thing I would have liked was shredded carrots and cabbage added to the the habachi grill bar. We would definitely go back. read more

Sushi did not look appealing with very red fish eggs on top of some, while other sushi was irregular in size with more rice than fish. It looked like a first grader made some of them. Dinner should have a better variety of crabmeat dishes but all 3 looked the same. Sesame chicken & Gen Tso's chicken were very "soupy" with excess sauce. read more

This used to be like so many big buffets: You know what you're getting into, it's okay, but you feel kind of icky afterward (not physically, just that the food wasn't that good). But NOW...I don't know what's going on, but it just gets better and better. The staff has ALWAYS been very friendly and prompt, but the FOOD (which was never bad) is better and better every time I go. The selections seem to be increasing, and each one is good. Whatever has happened there is impressive. read more

Excellent service and tasty food in an impeccably clean restaurant. All the foods were freshly made, were warm and tasted good. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Myrtle Beach area looking for an Oriental buffet. read more

Great food & reasonably priced. Gets crowded late in the day. Has many items on the buffet.

Great selection of food and everything I had was delicious! The restaurant was clean and the servers were attentive.

The food was good and so was the place itself, nice vibe. The servers were nice and food was restocked fast, so good service

I went there for lunch and for $12.99 it was great! The veggies were fresh and so was the seafood. Servers were always replenishing the food and cleaning up plates. read more

Place was not looking good enough to enter. Outside looks poor and unkept. Poor food quality and lacks inviting overall.

Good food and really good service. It was pretty crowded when we went but otherwise a pleasant experience

It was very nice food and good service. Me and my group were very satisfied. We will be coming again.

If I could give it a zero I would! Nasty food and unclean environment. Never coming back

Large variety of menu items. I found dozen items I would go back for. Service is fine. Cost is unbelievable...not sure how they can offer so many items at a low price! read more

The food was ok not bad on a scale of 1 to 10 from other Chinese buffets rates a solid 8. They came a few times to take plates and refill drinks. Seems to be a local favorite. All in all not to bad. read more

We had not attempted this establishment up to this date. Decided to give it a try since the parking is always full. Now we know why. The soups we tried were all quite good. Won ton, egg drop and hot and sour. The pot stickers, sui Mai and bao were all just ok. The chicken wings were very good. As was the pepper steak and chicken sweet and sour were good. Like any buffet you have to try one of many to find your favorites. The ice cream was super. The service was attentive and the restrooms beautiful and spotless. read more

Always a good selection of food and a friendly staff. It's difficult to get good Chinese food in Myrtle Beach, but this place reminds me of Chinese buffets in NY. Very reasonable price, and worth a visit read more

I wanna be nice but honestly dude. I will probably never come back The workers are really kind Had a beautiful lady she was soo sweet I'll honestly come back just for her but other than that no The food just wasn't it. The only thing I liked was the rice. read more

Food was excellent and properly heated. I cannot think of one food that I might have wanted that was not on the buffet. Everything I tried - and I tried A LOT - was just perfect. I would see many employees keeping all the trays refilled so that none of the trays were ever totally empty. The buffet price was very reasonable, and I noted the take-out per pound price was super reasonable had I elected to do that also. They have a seniors price which I was able to use. The waitress would stop by on a regular basis to see if anything was needed. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. read more

Nice clean establishment. Greeted by friendly staff upon entering. Great variety of food options on the lunch buffet.

Hey back again with a long anticipated review. I have been here in Myrtle Beach now since May of last year and I have wanted to try the New China Buffet here in Surfside, SC since I moved here. Every time I would get ready to go, the parking lot was always packed. So I figured it must be good! Well today I finally had the chance to see what all this was about. I arrived and it was pretty early and not a lot of vehicles for a Monday afternoon. Upon entering I was greeted right away and the restaurant looked pretty nice and clean. I was seated in what felt like a closet space to the left of the buffet tables which I didn't like not being able to see my table from that far away. The atmosphere was pretty much the norm, booths, tables, Chinese music and crystal chandeliers. The waitress was very nice took my order and I proceeded to walk to the buffet. I did notice from a far that 120 items really were 120 items until closer inspection. I did notice not one beef entree, just vegetables, chicken and pork. I really had my mind set on trying some of their pepper steak, one of my favorite Chinese meals. However there were none. I did notice about 40 different types of chicken and pork, a large salad bar , lots of sushi and a hibachi grill. I walked on over to the hibachi grill and ordered steak and chicken with vegetables in soy sauce. Most people who must frequent here a lot knew what to do. After watching a few people I saw that you are to get a plate and add the uncooked items on the plate give it to the cook and walk away. I chose to wait for I didn't want to walk over to the table and walk back again. I did notice that the chef added the soy after it was cooked for a second and handed me my plate. Not a very friendly guy! So I walked back to my table and dug in. All I can say about all the food choices I made was that everything had no taste to it! The garlic chicken, no garlic, the pepper chicken, no pepper it was all bland! I was kinda turned off that all the chicken tasted like it was just boiled in water. I tried the hibachi steak and chicken and he should have threw the soy sauce on it while it was cooking, again no taste. The coke I had, had a weird taste like a mix of coke and diet coke. So all in all I guess if your a really hungry construction worker that's slaving away at the heat and the concrete then I can understand why they frequent here, because of the lack of dining choices, but for those of us looking for a place for lunch, go elsewhere! Not impressed at all! My ratings for New China Buffet is as follows: Greeting- 4 Professionalism - 3 Menu Knowledge- - Easy Menu- - Ambiance- 3 Seating Feel- 3 Lighting Ambiance- 3 Length of food wait- 5 Customer Service- 4 Price 3 Food 2 Would you come again NO Special thanks - n/a Most Liked- Most of the wait staff were very friendy Disliked-Food very bland, no cow choices Our Overall Rating of New China Buffet is a 2 GOLDEN FORK RATING! read more

You can't go wrong with this buffet in South Carolina. The food is good and since it's busy, the food is constantly being turned over. Dinner for $15.95 per adult is not bad at all. read more

I can't stop myself from eating here even though I know I shouldn't. It's a dirty pleasure to become the embodiment of gluttony when I enter the threshold. I feel as if I have become the force fed goose in a cage before his liver is harvested to make the controversial French delicacy Foie gras. The food isn't good but packed with enough msg to kill the entire population of Luxembourg. You will eat. You will come back. You will hate yourself. You will poop a lot. read more

If you're trying to get a jaw exercise, try any of their chicken. It's so dry. Bathroom dirtier than a port-a-potty read more

The food is so good. My family really enjoyed themselves and the price is phenomenal. We will be back.

My 1st decent Chinese buffet in the area. Great lunch selection for a fair price. Everything was hot and delicious. I can pass on the hibachi and the fried mini shrimps on the buffet...other than that, I had 3 full plates of seafood and Chinese fare. I'll be back. read more

Been coming here over 20 years. I loved it. However. Is theft when they don't put out food any food 2 hours before closing. Still expect you to have to pay the full bill. Sadly I will no longer be returning. read more

Came to this restaurant by accident thinking we were going to a different one. Thank goodness we came here. The food was beyond delicious. The selection is incredible. We told one of the employees we will be back for take out (the hibachi). I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back for sit down also. It's the best Chinese I've had. They were constantly changing over the food as well. I cannot say enough!! read more

I moved away from the area over a year ago but come back to visit from time to time. Good Chinese food is so hard to find in Western NC. I know it's a buffet but it was a real treat for me. So many options and it was all good. Employees aren't overly friendly. It it is a Chinese buffet not Ruth Chris. read more
