Been going here for generations! Hard to find a buffet anymore for Chinese food but this was a great spot after Easter church service. All walks of life here but all happy customers. 14$ to buffet per person. Yes don't waste food on yr plate they ask on a sign by the buffet. Now they do have some basic American food for the kiddos too. Highly recommend their red ribs ! read more

New China Buffet - Food from buffet - Chinese Near Me - Bridgeton, Missouri

Food: a good selection however, when I eat out, I expect my food to be hot. Not cold! One item was lukewarm, but the rest of it didn't even make it up to that temp. Very disappointing. Ambiance: Nice tables and clean atmosphere. However, in the winter time, I expect the heat to be turned on. The place was cold. I will not eat here again or recommend it. read more

If you're a visual person, you'd probably not want to eat here. The food and service are good. Cleanliness could use a lot of work. The carpet looks like it hasn't been touched in years (in need of a desperate steam clean). The windows were in horrid shape. The tables and seating were wonky and in need of an update. The plates, silverware, cups and buffet area looked clean but because of the over all shape of the place it does make one wonder what the cooking area looks like. I will not be returning to this location. I pray other locations are better considering the food is pretty good. read more

An okay Chinese buffet, especially since there isn't another nearby. In a time of supersized buffets this one is mid-size. Signs promote they have over 80 buffet items. That covers the Chinese standards. Staff kept trays fresh and were available. read more

Placed a large cash single denomination on the table with the check that was dropped off at the table. The female waitress or attendant DID NOT return with my change (which was a significant amount). I do NOT appreciate the fact that the waitress or attendant DID NOT return with a sizable amount of cash as my change. Did someone there decide to keep that as a tip? Should that be my decision?.....or the waitress or attendant's decision? read more

The food was delicious...BUT, I was charged $22+ for 1 meal today, Sunday, 12/10/23. I signed their receipt after using my card and they gave me NO RECEIPT. It is my fault I didn't realize everything until I got home, but I wanted everyone to know. I just didn't pay attention...but I won't be eating their again and I will warn everyone I KNOW. read more

Me and my family came here to eat. The food and service were bad. The food was cold, flavorless, and very hard to bite into. We paid $50 for two adults and one child. The building was also dirty and the bathrooms were disgusting. Save your time and money and go someplace else. read more

Waiters and waitresses are very nice. Charged my 9 year old as an adult. Food was good, but it made my me sick. The lady taking our check was really rude. read more

Very pleasant dining experience We came here during Sunday dinner。Although there were a lot of people, we still got to our seats quickly.My drink glass was always full, it was always replenished quickly, and the service was good.The dishes made by the chef are also delicious。When we were ready to leave, the waiter said goodbye to us warmly. It was a great dining experience。It's hard to imagine how much good food you can eat for $13.I've been to other Chinese restaurants and have spent $18 on just one serving of food read more

First impression this not one of the Chinese restaurant. But as you see the green beans are fresh. They have a killer hit sauce oil. That clear the nose. But with food. The over all of the flavor of the different meats seem to be lack flavor and tender. But I must say green are fresh read more

I give credit where credit is due...but wow! This was bad! The soda (sprite) tasted moldy. The food was unrecognizable...the noodles tasted like they were cooked in a gas station bathroom...This. Was. Bad. I think the cooks hate their job and the owners bring in the cheapest meats they can find. Keeping driving...there's other Chinese restaurants in the area. Oiy!! read more

I had no intentions of coming here today. But someone came by the office and said Chinese? Heck yes been a long time! The price of this buffet is really a great deal $7.99 for lunch. And the food was better than I have ever could of imagined. Every dish I sampled, sweet sour soup, mushroom chicken, General Tso's chicken were really just outstanding. New China is not close to my home but doable for lunch. It may be the only time I will get here. I hope not because the food is that good. read more

Would give 0 stars but no an option, food taste like poop, hair in food. Never got a re fill on my drink. Smells very bad inside too. 10/10 do not reccomend. Shocked that they haven't been shut down by now read more

I've eaten here several times. The food is always hot. The Chinese -American cuisine is good.

As a Chinese connoisseur this place is absolutely disgusting. The service is very dry and horrible like the chicken foam plates at the Buffet I literally chipped a tooth on the chicken. This place is very good for people. They have no pallets in their mouth. Why does this place even get a three star it shouldn't even get a one just being fair and honest. Anything else we would like to add lack of seasoning overall it's not even worth the 1199 for lunch. I would hate to be here for dinner the first Chinese restaurant that did not bring fortune cookies with the ticket not to mention the whole place needs to be revamped and a new cook in the back. You can tell that they do not want to pay for a dishwasher as we have the foam plates. Very fresh table when you walk in was full of cleaning supplies not a very good look. I would be scared to come back here again. They need a new cook new friendly staff, and a new fresh paint as long as their new Buffet read more

Great spot and ambience. Family friendly and very reasonably priced lunch for the over 80 items in selections which I was impressed about. Food was refilled constantly and hot. Waiters went around frequently to check on tables and refilled drinks. My favorites were stem dumplings, wings, teriyaki, crab Rangoon's etc and to finish it off they had an ice cream station with strawberry, vanilla and chocolate selection which you have to check out. read more

Ended up swinging by New China Buffet because some coworkers and I wanted Chinese and this place was close by. Back in the day, this place was pretty good, but I had not been here in 5+ years. This place did not hold up well at all. I think I have had better tasting food from elementary school cafeterias. The building also had a bit of a rotten food smell to it. The food was also just warm, which I found disappointing. I did almost put this place to two stars since I did enjoy the Crab Rangoon; however, I was extremely disappointed so one star it is. The lunch buffet was 8.99 so it is not as if this place was extra cheap either. I will say that the staff were very nice and my water never was less than half-full. read more

My Aunt and I decided to got to the New China Buffet on Tuesday, April 3rd 2018. We were walking in with high hopes but unfortunately it did not fill them. Many of the items were lukewarm and others were cold. Steam can be seen coming the tables but they weren't warming the food up much. Other than the cold food, it was okay food. Nothing really special but some items were tasty. There were many different things on Buffet but nothing stood out as amazing. The price is $10.99 per person, working in the restaurant business I know that isn't bad for "all you can eat" but my aunt thought different. The buffet had a good amount of people coming in and out, so they must doing something right for some people. My aunt and I probably won't be coming back for a while but I will not say never. read more

New China Buffet - the interior of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Bridgeton, Missouri

I travel for living and I been in multiple buffet in different cities in different states. This is the worst! The food taste horrible, the plates plastic and with hot food, it taste worse Neither food quantity or quality is worth 1 dollar. I didn't finish my food and I just left. I am sorry for my self and stomach to introduce such a bad food to it. read more

Went on 5/7/22 excellent food plenty of choices friendly staff all in all for around $15 I'll scorecNew China Buffet a 9.25 out of 10

Food is ok. The service was the worst part. Went there with some Co-workers who BTW were all POC. While we were still eating the lady, who looked like she was in charge comes over to our table and starts asking how we were gonna pay and started asking for our debit cards or cash. Thing is We we're all in Uniform with our Company vehicles on the parking lot. That just did not sit right with me. I mean we had literally just started eating. So because of that type of service We will never return read more

5 sections of food hot/ cold Crab legs were juicy but small, and just the right seasoning because it wasn't too salty. Buffet dinner was like $11 or so a person which was the best we could find in St Louis given the other buffet someone told us was good with seafood was $16/17 a pop. Selection was decent and ice cream is real ice cream about 5 flavors. We killed the crab legs and loved how the restaurant doesn't wait until we leave to refill the dishes but refills when it is really out. Restaurant was not pack and fit our 17 seater group kids and all. We were happy with service which is good they cleaned up plates and refilled drinks, very attentive. read more

The food is TERRIBLE. Horrible options. Food was Luke warm. The service was mediocre at best. PAPER PLATES !!!!. If the food wasn't already bad enough my sister and I got sick after eating here. Would not recommend. read more

We've been eating here pretty much every weekend for around 5 years now, with the exception of the few months they had to close because of the ridiculous "lockdowns": we were really afraid the lockdowns would kill them, but they made it through, much to our joy! New China is a medium sized American style "Chinese" buffet. I put "Chinese" in quotes because I grew up in New York, so I know the difference between *actual* Chinese food and the American look-alikes. This is definitely a lookalike, with all of the hallmarks (for example, Crab Rangoon, which is just a Midwest thing, and definitely NOT Chinese). Despite the look-alike status, the food is very inexpensive, and usually pretty good - every once in a while the food will be made by a new cook, and it can really suck if they blow it, but that's pretty rare here. The selections on the buffet are pretty good, with 4 food islands filled up. Surprisingly, this budget buffet has some medium-end dishes available, such as medium sized peel & eat shrimp. a huge slab of salmon whitefish (it changes) to enjoy; Crab legs (an extra couple of dollars per pound); mussels; etc. My only complaint tends to be the people who come in with very young children, and who let their kids run amok - throwing food all over the place (and almost always leaving it for the servers to clean up: not classy!), and running around screaming at ALL of the tables. I get that this is a family place, but that doesn't mean that parents should allow their kids to destroy everyone else's meal time. I mention this because it seems to be a problem which is peculiar to this one place: it happens a lot on certain days (weekends) and at certain times (afternoons). If this were New York City, the kids would be slapped senseless by the first table they annoyed, but here in Missouri that isn't allowed, and the owners refuse to ban the bad parents and their spawn for misbehaviour. Maybe, when I find out I have but a few weeks to live, I'll indulge myself and spend a day smacking some of these miscreant kids and their miscreant parents! I would *really* enjoy that! The food is *very* reasonably priced, and the serve staff is generally good to excellent, despite it being a buffet environment. We highly recommend New China! read more

Over the years New China has wavered in quality regarding there food. After taking a long break from going there my girlfriend and I gave them another chance. We are glad that we did. It seems that the quality of cooking has gone up significantly. Dishes of note of are the Egg Foo Young, Black Pepper Chicken and Spicy Chicken. Every time we have went all of the dishes were filled with fresh selections and the servers are attentive to refill your drink/clear plates. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I love Chinese food. Everything looks delicious, but I got sick the last Time I was there. Told myself never to go back. Hate to leave a bad review. To their credit, the workers are very nice. And I did try alot of different items. Must have been a the one thing I ate. read more

I'm actually trying to get someone's attention so I can see about picking up a piece of technology I left there. Nobody is answering. I hope everyone is okay! Love you all! read more

I did not like this place for several reasons. The food was sub par. They did not have orange or sesame chicken on the buffet. It was dirty and dark. The waitress was not attentive. We did not read the reviews before going so it's our fault but never again. read more

I'm not a picky eater. Nor am I anything close to a foodie. (Ask the generic cereal I had for dinner last night). But I expect my food to be edible. This was not. At dinner tonight, coupon in hand, I was ready to gorge myself on endless helpings of really good bad-for-you Chinese food. Maybe the beef Broccoli was Chinese. My assumption, if it was, is that it was actually cooked in China and it's been in a slow-cooker on a boat for two months before it arrived in our fair city because I can think of no other explanation for the mushy and pungent flavor of this dish. The crab legs were about at thick as my toothbrush and most of them had about two bites of tough and acidic meat. The coconut shrimp tasted like what Hawaiian Tropic might taste like. The BBQ chicken has to have been made from scraps. It was all fat. The crab Rangoon tasted like it was not only imitation crab but imitation cheese fried in imitation oil. The rice was dry. The sweet and sour chicken was tough, chewy and the sauce was the consistency warm Vaseline and didn't taste much better. Trying to get all these bad tastes out of my mouth I went to the safest thing I could find: Jello. But even that tasted wrong. Like really, really wrong. How do you mess up Jello?? They managed to. The best part of the meal was the prewrapped fortune cookies. I hoped when I broke it open it would contain a coupon for Tums. But it just said I had an opportunity coming my way. And I believe that opportunity is to direct all my fellow bargain meal hunters to a less bad place. Ill give it two stars only because the staff was attentive and kept the buffet stocked and clean. read more

They usually have a decent crowd at lunchtime. There are about 4 buffet tables - salads, desserts, rice-noodles and entrees, and appetizer-like foods (rangoon, eggrolls, etc). Selection is decent, food is OK, service is nice. Drinks stay filled, dirty plates are quickly cleared. Some of the foods they had at lunch were: boneless spare ribs, General Tso's Chicken, chicken on a stick, crab rangoon, steamed dumplings, eggrolls, honey chicken, beef and broccoli, shrimp and (imitation) crab, mushroom chicken. We did see some people getting take-out boxes to fill up at the buffet. We couldn't tell if they charged by the container or by the pound. There was a scale at the counter, but I didn't see them use it (then again, I didn't have my eyes glued to it). :) read more

Cold, cold, cold. It is 11:45am lunch time, cheap eats at $7.95 a person, but the only thing above 135 degrees is the soup. I read reviews elsewhere that said the same but i was going to give them the benefit of the doubt. The food was tasty, but was cold. I am a certifed cook through the acf read more

Nice buffet with a good selection of different types of foods. They even have more than just Chinese items, they have garlic bread, some little cakes for dessert, fried chicken of different sorts (I didn't try any of them but they had breaded fried chicken, and others in different sauces), french fries, and fried potatoes with seasoning which was actually pretty good. Of course, they have the usual Chinese items including soups and their food was actually decent. read more

I moved out of state 9 years ago and I finally came back here. After trying all the Chinese Buffets, I think this one is the best! The food is awesome, the service is even better. I love the General Tso's Chicken , black pepper Chicken and the Beef with Broccoli. And the dish that I love the most is BBQ chicken. All the food are fresh and juicy. You also have so many choices on the dessert, like cookies, brownies and ice cream. Although the restaurant is a little bit old, it is cleaned up very well. The manager and the waiter are really friendly here. All time five star! Definitely worth a visit! read more

A great place to eat. Food is very good and there is a great selection in the Buffett.

It's okay, for the price. Not a lot of selection here though. The help is busy on their phones too, so hard to get some good service.

Visited again for the dinner buffet. On a Thursday evening around 8:30. Broke one of my rules and went to a buffet within 2 hours of closing. This buffet was still well stocked with fresh food. Same great buffet like my previous visit. The only negative is that the dinner buffet costs more. Usually this means they put out the more expensive food. They were a couple of different dishes but most were the same. Better for me to visit it for lunch instead of dinner. Disappointed that they didn't have the fried wonton. But the other selections made up for it. read more

I started to have dinner at this Chinese Buffet but upon getting my second plate filled with salmon or fish that was baked I found a "cockroach" yes you heard me right a "cockroach" baked with the Salmon or fish, right on top of it. I took pictures of it so that I could file a complaint with the city food inspectors. If you are planning on eating here beware read more

It's really a great place for the selection and value. It's in a facility that appears to be in a little need of repair, but for the quality and value, you can't go wrong here. read more
