Quite possibly the best Chinese buffet I've been to in years! The staff was friendly; the selections were plentiful; and the food was delicious. There's three buffets to choose from and something for everyone to enjoy. Pricing is very fair for the options and quality of food. If you're in the area and like tasty Chinese food, I highly recommend a stop! read more

New China Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Imlay City, Michigan

When we walked in, we were sat immediately and our drink order was taken. They brought the drinks but didn't say anything else. We sat for a while before realizing we should probably just go up to the buffet lol. We weren't sure how it worked. The food was great! They had plenty of choices. A ton of fresh fruit that tasted so juicy and delicious. They checked the temp of the food regularly so everything was really fresh. It looks pretty clean inside. The staff was really nice! It was about a 45 minute drive for us and totally worth it. read more

The food is overall very good, and usually cooked fresh for the most part. The employees are very kind and come around often. You don't have to wait long for your drinks to be filled, or old plates to be taken away. The space is often clean and has music playing. It's usually not loud, although sometimes it can be very packed. It is a bit expensive for a whole family but if you go for the buffet then I would say it's worth it! read more

New China Buffet - Plate for the all you can eat buffet. - Chinese Near Me - Imlay City, Michigan

I live an hour away, in SE Oakland County. I used to visit the huge buffet near Star Southfield and the one at 13 Mile and Ryan before they closed. I also like Fuji and the buffet near Walmart at Van Dyke and 14 Mile. I'm used to huge restaurants with massive spreads, so I'm a bit spoiled. This one is quite small with 2 buffet tables. However, it was considerably cheaper and they still managed to have all of my favorite Chinese buffet offerings in a more condensed setting. This one gets good marks for offering QUALITY over quantity, and being a better value financially. I paid $80 for 4 people. The other buffets are $60-75 for only 2 people. Overall, a good value. read more

Review #467 March 29, 2024 - Friday This dine in with table menu, Carry-out and Buffet establishment is so worth the hour drive for Me or others to stop in for a hunger AYCE feast = $14.99. When I'm in the areas of Almont or Imlay City I'll be back. They also have a special menu of Buffet items for to go. Delicious Szechuan, Cantonese, Hunan Food Cuisine. I have dined here three times with family on a Sunday this year of 2024, even though I only checked in on Yelp once. ( Too busy eating) My Niece and her family live in Almont which is close for them to dine here on a weekly basis. So after watching my great nephew play basketball in Almont or Imlay City down the road everyone was hungry at 3pm which was the perfect time and not too busy at New China Buffet. I enjoyed the Wonton and Egg Drop Soups, Crab Rangoon, Sesame Chicken, Five Season Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, Stir-Fry Vegetables, Lobster chunks, Popcorn Shrimp, Fried Rice were My favorites! :-) The Manager and other staff members are very efficient to check temperature on food trays at the buffet and keep the popular items full too when a tad low so they buzz around to fill in a tray with curtosey. They also serve vegetarian dishes as well. Average Dinner Price: $10 - $20.00 per person. Photos of MENU'S Attached For Dine In and Carry Out ! The atmosphere is wonderful in the dining room with Oriental music playing. In the back room for larger groups is where we all sat the three times. The Buffet price does not include beverage and under 10 years of age is a different food price. The Setting are tables and booths with speedy servers cleaning up quick and filling up waters, or beverages with a friendly smile. The foods and tastes are overwhelming with a variety of seafood, meats, vegetables, pastas, noodles, rice, Lo Mein, Chow Mein, Chop Suey, Fired or White Rice, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Sweet & Sour Dishes, Egg Foo Young, Special Combination Plates, Sushi, Many Sides, plus Vegetable & Bean Curd. The Buffet has steamed Fish, Bbq Ribs that are tasty. There are many "Stuffed" buffet food items such as stuffed mussels, stuffed crabmeat, stuffed mushrooms that I can remember that I ate. Then a 3rd or 4th helping can be cold salads, puddings, Jello, and fluffy mousse creations. Lastly the Desserts are specially made so SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. OMG Kiddos & Adults too lol can enjoy the soft-serve Ice-Cream Machine located in the back of the Buffet area plus You can add your own toppings to complete one's Sweet Tooth Explosion! ALL INCLUDED as one AYCE price, less cold or hot beverages. I sure hope "New China Buffet" of Imlay City maintains their hard working and clean service with their variety of delicious foods, to keep going with wonderful tastes and An Amazing Buffet throughout the year of 2024. I can't wait to come back again when My Great Nephew starts T-Ball soon! If you are driving on Van Dyke or at I-69 freeway and are Hungry plus Craving Chinese Food Buffet style, stop in between the Hours of: Monday 11AM - 9:30PM Tuesday CLOSED Wednesday 11AM - 9:30PM Thursday 11AM - 9:30PM Friday 11AM - 10PM Saturday 11AM -10PM Sunday 11AM -9:30PM - Easter or holidays may differ so CALL Phone: (810) 721-8818 Sincerely, SpecialK - Karen Macomb, MI. :-) read more

See all

We come from Westland frequently and in our opinion this is the BEST buffet we have ever been to. The selections, quality and freshness of food is outstanding. Worth the trip. Prices are reasonable too, read more

Everything was good will go back again one day. Good food good service price wasn't bad for two adults and drinks were always full

The food is very good, and they are openly accepting of other foods being in their restaurant. The ambiance can depend on the hours of the day, the morning usually being less busy and more quiet if you like that type of vibe. Service is quick, and the servers and workers are very friendly. read more

The food is always great it's fresh and delicious, great variety food in the ambience is good and don't worry good service too

Great good and great price for a buffet. I usually don't like buffets however the quality of the food is better than that of a normal sit down Chineese restaurant. read more

It's a pretty decent buffet. Not huge but had a good variety. I appreciated the food being so hot, fresh and constantly replenished. The staff was very friend and accommodating. We wouldn't make a special trip to eat here again but would certainly go, if in the area. read more

The egg rolls were dry as a dessert and so was the chicken fried rice. Oh do I miss Wah Wongs

I will absolutely be back to this establishment! No photos though, went on a Saturday night. Wasn't too busy but pretty decent large groups. The place was super clean and the staff was nice and explained how it's a buffet. Honestly the buffet was better than most Chinese places I try; dine in or carry out. It's very hard to find a decent Chinese place but I will make the drive to imlay city every time. Best tasting food I've had they even have the little rice balls with red bean paste which is my favorite. The food was in smaller portions out on the buffet which I think makes it much better cause they stock it faster too. There was never a time any food was missing. Will absolutely be back and with friends. read more

I really like this buffet. One of the best around in my opinion. Are there better ones in the world? Most likely, but this is a great solid choice. Something for everyone. read more

BEWARE OF POP SCAM! I wanted to give this establishment a higher rating, but I don't like feeling manipulated or tricked. They sat my family down and the waitress immediately came to our table asking us how old are kids were and what we would like to drink. When we got the bill we were charged $10 for the 4 drinks and the waitress very much made it feel like these were included in the cost of the buffet. To me, they should make it more known that drinks are not included. The freaking pop machine is right next to the buffet so it feels like you should be serving yourself. It's not that $10 is going to break me, it's just this evening out cost us $85 for 2 adults and two kids. The food was OK. Variety was nice. Food was not too warm. Atmosphere was also ok. Kind of dark inside. Needs a waterfall or something. Would not return. read more

Great food good service and didn't give me food poisoning like Chans in port Huron which made me puke all over the table and in the bathroom but worst of all they yelled at me when I stop puking, they yelled at me read more

This has been my favorite restaurant for years now. It has the freshest meals around. They have such a good patronage that the food is constantly being refreshed. Out of at least 100 times that I have taken people there, I have never had one issue. In fact, I am heading there right now. I hate to eat alone but I never pass up a chance if I am in Imlay City. read more

We went for Lunch on two different Saturdays and the food was fresh and very tasty. Friendly wait staff. We will definitely be back

Excellent service and great food always fresh n plenty ! We love this as a regular weekly carry out!

The food is good, I'm not into buffet, but they have a great variety of foods. There is something for everyone!

I love the five season chicken, and the crab Rangoon and the Oriental music service is great

For the money you can't beat it.. food was good.. service was good.. not a complaint from me

I live really close to this place, and I visited it a couple times a week when I first moved here. Here are a couple of PROs and CONs in my opinion. PRO: Food is good. Nothing in the buffet appears like its been sitting out all day. PRO: You have an infinite amount of food immediately available. Literally start eating within seconds of entering. More PROs: Open until 10:00 pm, staff is nice (although reserved as seems to be common in Chinese restaurants), and place is clean. CON: Food could be warmer. Its not cold, but not what you'd get from a dinner order. CON: If you're eating late, they start stacking chairs at 9:45 and sometimes even 9:30 - so you feel rushed to finish. CON: Selection is limited. Basically due to space. They could use a couple hundred more square feet. A-OK is a perfectly good rating IMHO. read more

It's not a buffet! Due to covid. You have to order from the menu and they will bring it out to you. Walking in and out.

I love this place ... I live in port Huron (one county over !!) and I am willing to make the drive ..... good food, good selection and a good price .... read more

Yummy everything great Service amazing yummy food for cheap prices don't let the outside looks for you it's so good in here Bacon Wrapped CrabWonton Soup etc all is so good once you try it read more

So... This was, and hopefully, will be again, a great Chinese style food buffet. Don't understand why they will not serve buffet again, as I've been to other ones in this state that have started serving buffet again. Tawas, Alpena, many others are already serving buffet style. As much as I just love these folks, being a diabetic, I can't order their take out dinners. Way to much rice, egg rolls, Spring rolls and other things I really just can't eat. However, if I were able to serve myself from the buffet, I could easily stay within my diatery guidelines. So... I may be back. BUT. No, unless you can start serving buffet again. Not going to pay for a dinner that I have to leave half in the container. Hopefully you'll get back to your old business model soon. If not, it was nice while it lasted... read more

Always hot and fresh. Service is quick and friendly. We eat there often. Very god selection of food, fruit & dessert with sushi too.

My husband and I have passed this restaurant on several occasions so we figured we should try it. The buffet is kind of small but they have all the dishes we like. My faves were the wonton soup, lo main, General tso's, crab rangoons, mushroom chicken and the green beans. Yum!!! The food was surprisingly hot and I saw the kitchen bring out fresh dishes on several occasions. You cannot beat the price! $8.99. You can barely get one meal at a Chinese restaurant for that! The locals know this and come fully ready in their 'eatin pants'. Lol. read more

Food was very yummy!! It was such an pleasant surprise, since it doesn't seem like it will be nice on the outside. Food was fresh & warm, with a wide variety. It was not expensive, & the service was decent for a buffet. It is a cute little hole in the wall! read more

This is a smallish buffet, but don't let that deter you! They more than make up for it with freshness and flavor. They have all of what could be called a 'best of' the buffet stuff and no oddball traditional Chinese dishes like chicken feet, lol. Restaurant has large booths and is very clean. The staff is always very attentive and friendly. Tucked into a strip mall, this place is somewhat unassuming, but it's too good to pass up! read more

Since Covid there has not been a buffet and carry out was all that was available for some time, however, ordering from the menu is great as well. I love their "Hot and Sour" soup and the shrimp egg rolls are excellent as are all of their side dishes! (I usually get a small side of sweet and sour sauce to go with the egg rolls rather than just using the packages of plum sauce, it's much better). Mei Fun is one of my favorites and they have it here as well as many other traditional dishes. The servings are generous so you won't be left hungry! read more

My ex used to bring me here all the time -- she was obsessed with the place. I'm sure she would give it 5 stars. Very average to me, but still an enjoyable place to eat from time to time. Pretty good variety and the food has always been hot... people sometimes complain the food has been cold for them but I've never experienced that problem here. The music can be really funny sometimes. Last time I ate there they played a traditional Chinese arrangement of the Titanic theme. Made me laugh. Try the bacon-wrapped crab. It's fantastic. read more

Pulled off expressway for a bite to eat. What an unexpected surprise. We didn't know it was a buffet, but ate here anyhow. Everything was absolutely delicious. They even had a LARGE variety of very good sushi with many accompaniments! read more

Probably the best Chinese food in the area and probably great if you just get the buffet. However, I'm vegetarian so I prefer to order off the menu. The menu items are great but service for ordering off the menu is abysmal. Our food arrived and the waitress left leaving no plates to eat off of and no rice which was supposed to come with each entree. I had to get up and get plates, etc. myself. read more

Ordered carryout. No sweet and sour anything but received 3 tubs of sweet and sour sauce but no rice. Poor quality control. Avoid

The food is delicious, and a bargain. I've never seen this much high quality seafood for this price. They have a bit of everything, so almost all tastes should be happy. Definitely my favorite restaurant in all of Lapeer county. read more

Place is clean, food is swapped out regularly, servers are nice, sushi is decent and the rest of their food is really good!

Its a solid value with good selection. The food is plentiful and well cooked. The restaurant is clean and kept tidy and the food is fresh and tasty. Popular with large families the owner has a lot of repeat customers. There are few negatives really. The food can be salty at times, What you think is cream is just icing in the desserts and the scruffy waitresses have a crap attitude if you ask them to do something out of the ordinary. Plenty of parking outside and low low prices make this a firm favorite. read more

Totally just tried this place driving through Imlay. It was really good. The hubs and I really enjoyed the svc. and the food.
