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.

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.

place has gone downhill. Food is cold and old. I took a bite out of two items and almost threw up in my mouth. I will never return.

Average quality Chinese buffet, although they do have a pretty big selection of dishes. Their sushi assortment is pretty good too.

This place is clean, has a lot of delicious foods, and has nice employees. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to.

Food excellent! Service excellent !…read moreAmbiance excellent! I had one of the best twice cooked pork I've ever had. Huge portion. Well prepared and very fresh. The fried prawn appetizer was incredible. The price was lower than I expected. Very reasonably priced. If you want Chinese food in Macon, you must give this a try. Old school, Chinese American cuisine. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

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!

I live just around the corner, and HKE is my answer whenever I need a take-out American-Chinese…read morefix. Often if I have a lot of grocery shopping to do and don't want to cook that night, I'll stroll into HKE, place my order, stroll across the parking lot to the grocery story, then come back to pick up my food before heading home. Their General Tso's is excellent, and their Egg Foo Youngs are solid (and come with one of the most addictive brown gravies I've ever had, anywhere). If you order their Moo Shu Pork, plan to call ahead, as it takes them a while to prepare it (especially due to the pancakes that come with it). That being said? It is DELICIOUS. Their fried and steamed dumplings are good. Heavy on the meat, heavy on the stomach, but very tasty. Egg rolls are good, but nothing to write home about. If you prefer fried rice to steamed with your meal though, prepare to be disappointed. Their side of fried rice is one of the most boring versions I've ever seen, with just a couple of pieces of onion and an almost Saffron yellow color (with none of the brilliant saltiness of real Saffron rice). Definitely go for the steamed rice instead. They do quite well with phone orders. Ordering ghetto takeout Chinese over the phone often feels like you're going to get something totally different when you arrive, but they've always gotten right everything I've called in and ordered. Portions are huge. If I'm not starving, I can get the combo General Tso's with Rice, and a small Egg Drop Soup and feed myself and my girlfriend, plus have enough leftovers for lunch the next day. They have seating, but I've never stayed and eaten there. The booths are pretty much just for you to sit in while you wait for your order if it wasn't ready when you walked in. Not sure why It's not letting me vote on the price (it shows up, but doesn't allow me to click?), but this is definitely a $ (Sub $10 per person) place.

I've been watching this place for 10 years, avoiding it because I never see any customers.. in…read morespite of my instinct I was craving shrimp, egg, foo young and not to my surprise it had a horrible smell like some leftover stench the food seemed like it could've been good, but that stench made it not good at all.. the quality of the food for the price did not match up. I will not be visiting that place again. Two thumbs down.
