    Just as bad as I remember it as being! 10+ years ago my family and I would eat here. hungry and passing through I decided to stop by. The sushi is 4/10. There is the choice of something like 8 rolls. All of which are mostly rice. The seafood or other food easily packed with preservatives looks better. The only reason I could see someone coming here is (a) they're down to their last $15 and need to eat as much food as possible (b) they are driving through Macon and need something cheap to eat. It is your stereotypical side of the interstate buffet which only offers low quality food for a relatively cheap price. 10/10 would not recommend...I came here because I was hungry after a long drive and wanted to see if it was as bad as I remembered!

    Lunch with one of my besties. For the most part the food was fresh but there were some items which seemed old and refried. The waitress was very attentive.

    Great place

    Ok, I don't usually go for Chinese buffets, But this is a different story. Joe was our waiter and did a great job, he was very kind and attentive. They don't have all you can eat crab legs but you can buy by the pound for 8.99 with purchase of buffet or more per pound if you buy just legs. First the buffet is huge! I mean they have a lot of food on those bars. Great tasting shrimp and cat fish. Really good dumplings. Just plump little half moon shapes of goodness. But the star was the crab legs, these damn things were succulent and juicy, the butta mmmmmmmm god the butta! It was just the icing the crab meat needed. Just awesome, that was really nice. I'll be back!

    I love this place.  I am never disappointed with the selection or the freshness.

    I always enjoy this restaurant. I came here today and on Thanksgiving. I always have the sushi and octopus. I also sample a little of everything else that appeals to my taste buds. It's best to come when they are busy, because the food is constantly turning over. Today I arrived at 11:30am, and the freshness and choices were satisfactory. I recommend

    After eating at number of "Hibachi Grill(HG)" style buffets, there very much like many fast food franchises, predictable. You know the usual items will be; salmon, black pepper chicken, fried shrimp or ice cream for the end. So the big differencs are the cooks on the Hibachi Grill, freshness of the items on buffet stations and the servers.This buffet suffered in two of three. First the cook on the grill was not as good as other HG cook. Very uncaring about presentation, he just create slop instead of stir fry. Second, buffet items like fried chicken looked old, pizza was soggy, crab legs small and no crawfish. Servers were okay but appeared to be angry or sound as if they were complaining in another language. Bottom-line: New China is just ok but I had better HGs in GA.

    Do not get it to go!! They will charge you $20 for rice. Maybe the experience would have been better eating the buffet for $11

    They have a good sized selection, but the food doesn't not compare with the average Chinese buffet across the country.

My family and I decided to order to go this time and we were so displeased. The egg fu yung was full of more onions than egg, the shrimp fried rice had WAY less shrimp than previous ones and the combination platter was disappointing. Due to improper packaging, the prawns and egg rolls were soggy from the teriyaki sauce that was for another appetizer. I forgot the name of the young man I spoke with when I called (2/21 @ 6:06pm), but he was rude and condescending. I no longer live in Macon but my family and friends do. I have and will continue to share this negative experience with them. Getting bad food is understandable, maybe it was an off day. I did not call to request a refund, I was merely calling to express concern. Being rude and nonchalant is not the way to retain customers. Do better Mandarin Garden!

    DO NOT EAT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!…read more I witnessed an employee stop several customers who were trying to take to-go containers home. The customers had placed their leftover food into the containers after they finished eating. When the group decided they no longer wanted the containers, they left them with the employee. What happened next was extremely concerning. The employee took some of the food from those containers and placed it back onto the buffet line. I informed the employee that the food had already been handled and eaten from by customers and should not be returned to the buffet. The employee responded, "I looked at it, and it looked like they didn't touch it." I explained that it doesn't matter whether the food appeared untouched. Once food has been taken from the buffet and placed on a customer's table, it should never be returned to the serving area. Doing so is unsanitary and puts other diners at risk. Based on what I witnessed, I would not recommend eating here. This version strengthens the credibility of the review by focusing on the observed behavior and food-safety concern.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and cleanliness of the restrooms. Customer service was exceptional as well. My only issue was the sushi was mushy and the wasabi was runny and watered down. Other than those two things I think this is a four star establishment.
