We went for lunch, and the food was absolutely fantastic. They have to be one of the best buffets I've been to. All the food was very flavorful, especially the egg cream desert. The price of lunch was also very affordable and well worth the price. They are honestly the nicest buffets I've been to in NKY, and the restaurant was very nice and easily accessible. read more

This week I was in the mood for something warm and more choices so decided to try New China Buffet. The first thing I noticed was that the dinner price shown in the Google photos is $15.99, while the actual price was $16.99. I arrived about two hours before closing, but some of the food items already looked like they closing restaurant in 20 minutes. Considering that you pay more for dinner, I was disappointed by the selection. I've been to other buffets of this type where the dinner selection is better especially when it comes to sushi. Unfortunately, the sushi selection here was quite limited, just some rolls !The rolls were filled so lightly that they almost seemed like they were intended to be vegetarian only. As for dessert, there were only two cake options available, well sugar is not healthy- I get it. I have to say that the staff were friendly and worked hard. They did their job professionally, and I appreciate that. Unfortunately, it seems like whoever is responsible for the menu and food selection is letting the whole place down. I personally don't plan to come back, and unfortunately, based on my experience, I can't recommend this restaurant to others read more

Service is great, even though it's a buffet. New China is a quality buffet with something to please every palette. They are always packed so that is a sign of great food at a decent price. If you like variety, this is your go to restaurant. The atmosphere is what one might expect from a nice chinese buffet. read more

Great food, great service, awesome time! Quiet atmosphere with calm and inviting ambiance! read more

New China Buffet - Buffett Area - Chinese Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

The world needs more buffets. Chinese buffets feel like such a thing of the past and that is just a sad, sad thing. The food is pretty simple but there's a lot of options. We came a few times just because we knew we weren't gonna get this again in nyc. Honestly the chicken on a stick was delicious. Super tender. Just the kinda place to eat some food for not a lot of money and go down memory lane. read more

The food is always only luke warm or cold. We were regular customers over the last several years but the quality has steadily deteriorated. Gave it one more chance tonight but never again as nothing was hot. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the yellow curry- it was delicious. The food was overall pretty good. The one thing we didn't like was that there was no spice level customization and some of the dishes were too hot for my guests to enjoy. We ordered delivery and it took about an hour to get to us. (They use DoorDash drivers) read more

Way over priced. Quality of the food was disgusting. Especially the sushi. Even the hot rolls were stone cold. All had cream cheese and fake crab meat. Hard pass. What I did eat terribly upset my stomach. It was dirty and I wouldn't advise highly suggest saving your money and not eating here! read more

Got to be the most unfriendly restaurant ever. The staff does not talk, does not smile, won't look at you, totally unfriendly which is against the first rule in customer service. The food was bland, but OK if you're looking for a stomach fill-up. Some of the diners are sketchy in sense of appearance. Couldn't wear some fresh clothes, take a shower? That's not the restaurant's fault, but still. And what's with the super-loud talking, even with foul language. Totally unenjoyable place. read more

Don't come here like I said this is what my sisters pants look like because the water was leaking through the window I'm really mad right now it's ridiculous I can't even come to eat even the food is nasty and the waiter didn't come just for us to leave it took 20min I'm so mad DO NOT COME HERE... read more

Decided to bring 26 people for a Birthday party. I gave them a week's notice and they said they had a room that was separate from main dining. It worked out perfectly. Food was constantly refreshed, they had plenty of friendly and efficient staff. Staff also didn't seem to mind us getting up, walking around and visiting each other ( some places are annoyed by this behavior). We would definitely do another party here. Thank you to the hard working employees cooking, cleaning and refreshing the food. read more

All right so I'm going to admit right now that I came here right after having my first colonoscopy. I hadn't eaten anything for 2 days and I was starving. So what's a better place to get your money's worth then an Asian buffet! I've been here a couple of times and the staff is always friendly. They make sure you have enough to drink and they're always coming by to collect plates. The food here is pretty decent. I'm not going to say it's great because I have yet to be at any Asian buffet where the food is all great. But the crab cheese wontons are full of cheese and flavor, The coconut shrimp is more dense than other places I've been to, the sushi is satisfying, and all the other staples are there. There's really nothing that I can do to score this place down. You can also finish off with a good dessert as they have many different ice creams and little cakes to choose from. You're definitely going to get your money's worth here and I have to say, it was an excellent choice to come here after my colonoscopy. I had about four plates and I left feeling very satisfied! read more

New China Buffet - Delicious start to a delicious meal! - Chinese Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

There was a lot of variety and they do have a habachi grill. It was really crowded on a Sunday afternoon when we went.

Tonight was my first and last time ordering take out from this restaurant. The service was poor. The people were not attentive or friendly. The food had no taste at all, and they didn't even provide soy sauce. Never again. read more

The food has no taste. Would it hurt for the staff to crack a smile and happily welcome people? Should have a dress code.

Great service, great food at a reasonable price! They constantly filled up the food on the buffets as soon as they got low. The waitress kept our glasses filled at all times. She was so friendly! read more

service and environment is good. lots of food variety and everything was hot and fresh. i love china buffet style green beans and theirs did not disappoint. boyfriend liked all of the meat. read more

Very expensive for not a great quality of food. Buffet was sparse and we waited a long time for food trays to be refilled and they just weren't. Service was not great, staff were on their cell phones. read more

Spacious atmosphere. Plenty of staff. Crab rangoons were fantastic. As were the fried donuts. In hindsight, I should have ordered those two things to go. Buffet is fine/typical. Though hardly anything has a label. Several options for kids (chicken fingers, mac n cheese, pizza). Will update if I get sick as a lot of the reviews in the past year mention that's a risk... I didn't read that until after I started eating so, fingers crossed! *updated to say, I did not get sick. But I recommend either not eating with your hands, or sanitizing after you get you food and before you eat. Obviously lots of people touching the serving utensils. read more

Great food at a good value! We love coming here when we are near the restaurant. They provide Pepsi products for drinks. read more

Beware! Last week I said no I don't need a receit and a few days later looking at my online bank I was charged 30.00 for lunch a 20.00 with tip at best. Not trust worthy I will never ever return! 0 stars! read more

Got talked into a buffet by the family, and seeing how this one was the closest to the Target we had to swing by, this won by default. The selections were pretty good, it tasted okay, and it didn't seem overly expensive. The rose chicken, crab Rangoon, and coconut shrimp being some of my favs. Hot and sour soup was too spicy, the egg rolls weren't good, and a lot of the dishes just seemed like fried dough. Don't pass on the mango jello. It is crazy good! Typical Chinese buffet, if you didn't gather that already. read more

About a week ago we picked up takeout - pepper steak and Kung Pao chicken. My husband said the Pepper Steak was just okay. My order was wrong, but it was a chicken dish. The chicken had a strange texture and the entire dish had very little flavor. Prices were not accurate on their website, but I knew that at the end of placing my phone order. Very blah, below average dishes. read more

I ordered take out from here. The food was fresh and cooked great! The portions are good size and the prices are reasonable! I absolutely love eating here! read more

My lo mein was figgity, my fried rice was figgity, the sweet and sour sauce was absolutely figgity AND the cheesy crab was figgity. I also have to mention the bourbon chicken was FIGGITY aka burnt to the moon and back. Over priced for the quality of food offered, will not be going back... under most circumstances. I will say the service was as expected and the dining experience was nice. Every-time I left to get a new plate refilled I came back to my old residual taken by the waitress and my water was always topped off and tasted very refreshing. See attached photos so you can live out my experience. read more

Excellent buffet many good items, clean, good service and friendly. I love it here, my favorite Chinese restaurant.

This place was no good. Yikes. more water? No thanks damn look at my full cup. 1 dollar 4 people? Like bitch yes I know how to write.

I went with my friend I got a water. After I finished I gave the waiter a 20$. then the waiter took my change. even tho i said no i need it. bad training. read more

I go there often for lunch, for $10, it really reasonable. Most food are good, typical to go Chinese dish, but not over powered by sugar. sushi is fresh made. Like other reviews said, the service is not that great. However, I'm not expecting steak house experience in a Chinese buffet anyway read more

First off I got food poisoning the last time I was here about 2 years ago haven't been back since. Before that I found food in my drink and I didn't even take a drink yet. So I'm a dumb ass for even coming back here but how in the living hell is this place so expensive. I could have went to a high quality steak house for what I paid. $65! Holy shit. Now keep in mind I brought a 4 year old and a 6 year old. Guess how much they ate? Like half a plate eat. My oldest ate 1 plate and I had 2. If I went to a steak house I could have gotten two large steaks and two kids dinners for around the 70-80 range. Another weird thing is they seem to be blatantly ignoring covid safety guide lines they just pack everyone together even though they have so much seating room and their not wearing any masks. Like I feel genuinely ripped off. Oh and this time there was a piece of a napkin stuck to my fork and it wasn't from the brand new one it came in. Like wtf is going on with this place. read more

Just take my advice and don't go here, if you feel like eating at a buffet just go to golden corral. Only good foods is the chicken and the sushi has hotdogs in them just don't go. read more

I've eaten at New China Buffet for YEARS, and I've never had a bad experience. I have no idea what the bad reviews are about. I've eaten at other Chinese buffets and been very disappointed, only to return to New China Buffet. Everything is good, everything is fresh. It gets busy at times so obviously supplies can run low on certain items, but it's never been a problem for me. Great buffet! read more

Very mediocre food. But for the price and amount you get there are worse buffets out there.

So bad. Took 3 bites and left. I hope I don't get food poisoning but let me tell you, I'm scared.

It's gone downhill as their input prices have gone up the last year. I haven't noticed the same decline at the buffet in Norwood, and they're equidistant to me. Accordingly I won't be back other than maybe to check on their quality in a year. And after this last meal, the thought of returning is fairly unappetizing. read more

I always look forward to Chinese Buffet styled restaurants, but this is one trip I will always regret. The food was all cold and flavorless. (No it isn't Covid- I can taste my gum and drink perfectly fine) I HATE wasting food, but with how cold the food was i did not finish it in fear of how long it had been sitting open to the air. I will not be coming back. read more

This used to be my "go to" place for Chinese buffet. The last couple of years, however ( and this could be COVID related ), i have noticed a steady decline in the preparation, quality and overall availability of food in the buffet. Cases in point: The Peanut Chicken used to be lightly fried chicken swimming in peanut sauce. Now, it's over cooked chicken or burned chicken sitting a puddle of watered down peanut juice. On Sunday, they used to have a huge spread of sushi and nigiri. Now, it's a thrown together assembly of California-style rolls. On the weekends, during the lunch rush, you can walk through the buffet islands and count up the trays void of food. At one time, they were filling these trays way before they were empty. You *could* chalk all this up to be nit picky. You're probably right. But, when you find a place that excels at what they do only to diminish in quality, you take notice. read more

Do you like your food hot temperature wise? Like your food with flavor? Then don't come here. I have been here 3 times, once during the day for lunch, once in the evening and once for Sunday lunch. Won't go again. Some say this is the best Chinese buffet around, I am sad to say it probably is and these poor people have no clue what a 'good' buffet is. All three times the food has been luke warm AT BEST. No flavor to speak of. Sunday is apparently seafood day. They do have salt and pepper crab but no legs. I tend to like these and got a half dozen. One was warm, the others might have been in the frig. The only saving grace was the hot tea and the frog legs. Not worth the price to be sure. read more

This place may be my new favorite Chinese buffet. I tried it for the first time since I was in the area and was very pleased with the selection. There were several things that I really liked such as the chicken on a stick and the crab rangoons but surprisingly what I enjoyed the most was the roasted potatoes. I know that sounds crazy for a Chinese buffet but these were excellent. I think I could have made a meal with just the potatoes. Overall I was pleased with the service and the cleanliness of the place. I can't wait to go back again. read more

My criteria for China Buffet restaurants---- clean bathrooms, service, well maintained steam tables, peel & eat shrimp, egg rolls. They hit all of these points. While they did have good peel & eat shrimp, they didn't do a good job keeping the it full. Their cocktail sauce was awful. I suppose I could have improvised by getting wasabi and adding ketchup. The egg roll was very good. They also have sushi and other salads. I liked the shrimp & vegetables as well as the lo mein. The coconut shrimp was covered with a white, possibly coconut sauce. Not your typical coconut shrimp which has a fried coconut coating, although it was very bready. The service was very good. Bathrooms were clean. Price was very reasonable. read more
