The chow mein here was good, just lacks of vegetables but it's great. the only problem i have is that they don't have a wide variety of main courses. they're not that busy on a sunday night as well. the cashier was nice. but i just wish they have a variety of cakes. they also remove the ice cream machine they have and changed it to a scooping ice cream. I still love this restaurant cause it has a great memories for me especially to my husband. read more

This place hit the spot. They have a good amount of options. At $16.99 dinner pricing (including drinks), I found that to be fair. My friend was impressed that they had horchata & coffee available. The food was tasty. The used plates were cleared fast. The busgals were friendly. The place was clean [enough]. Food was refilled quickly. There was a handful of seafood options. ***Unrelated to the score: I'm glad we chose to eat here that day. It was between here and Sizzler. As we walked out of this buffet, the Fire Dept was pulling up to Sizzler for God knows what kind of exciting event. read more

Food is cold every time I go I have to wait for the fresh one to cume out 6/10 and the workers in have a bad attitude

Ambience is what you would expect a cheap chinese restaurant to look like, not bad, just outdated and nostalgic. However, the food was definitely not very good. Tasted salty, old, and a little stale. My boyfriend says i can eat enough for 3 people, but not this time. I left half my plate and a bowl full of egg drop soup that i only took 4 sips out of. I can see how someone would come to eat here for a quick bite but I will not be returning. Good drink options tho read more

Bad, plain out bad horrible stale and burnt food. Save the money please I'm begging you

Son caught food poisoning here, he was sick for 3 days straight throwing up and diarrhea Be careful

The food was good, fresh and clean. The service was OK, not very personable or smiles. The cashier, when you walk in, did not say anything, just stared at me and the same leaving. Over all ok. read more

New China Buffet - Lo mein, rice, cheesy crab, spring roll, mushrooms, and honey chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The food wasn't something spectacular. It felt just thrown together and lacking flavor.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! it was disgusting and all the food was cold or just straight up nasty . Not even sure how this place is still open read more

Worst food ever. Not even the rice was correct. It's like they went out of business and forgot to tell people. Loud TV, loud humming ac unit. Sticky walls. Rest room gross. read more

I love this place! The food is tasty and fresh. You can get your own drinks, and change it up if you want to. The orange chicken is the best!! read more

Well I can say this place has improved a lot over the years as they have gotten a better soda machine and added more selection of food read more

New China Buffet - a view of the dining area - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I used to come here almost everyday after church, for YEARS but going now is a much different experience, due to the new owners of this buffet, food and dining aren't the same, same with check ins, etc. it's sad what's this place has turned too seeing all the bad reviews, it was once a gem. but seems like ever since the pandemic and new management and new employees entirely the old originals workers all have left. it's been down reviews from there .. food used to be good and mending and order taking was easier than now read more

Went today most food tempted cold as f most shit was like cold cold I don't think safe temp to eat food would not b back or recommend

this place is a very big place it can fit over 10 families the food is fucking fabulous

I even checked Yelp for reviews of this place before I want to try it. The reviews seemed good for the most part but I don't know what those people were thinking. The selection was average at best featuring all sorts of breaded chicken dishes. They had an assortment of American food choices I'm assuming for the kid's but not one item that I put on my plate was actually hot. Most were barely warm and probably not over the 140 degree mark that is required by the health department. I was impressed that they offer food to go that you pay for by the pound but after dining in, I would never go back for take out. read more

the food it cold and hard it is super chewy the pizza look like it been there for a week I tired a slice and it hard like buns they charge me 60 bucks and didn't have Dr Pepper the only good thing the the bread there was also no sushi like the food was a negative 4 and thank you read more

Food wasn't that good and was cold. Not to mention they aren't following any covid-19 procedures. Will not waste my time or another cent trying this place! Horrible experience read more

Ok I am on my way traveling to California from San Antonio, Texas. My stomach doesn't feels good for fast food the last two days....so I decided for quick hot meal. This place is BAD....as BAD CAN BE. The sesame chicken and the sweet and sour chicken tasted like RUBBER BAND. SO IS THE SQUID. THEN the shrimps...omg it must be dead rotten shrimps....before they cooked it. Oh well NEVER EVER NEW CHINA BUFFET Again. read more

Ate lunch here today. Wow, it was terrible. It's a large buffet, there must be at least 60-70 items. 90% of which are inedible. The only things I actually liked were some of the vegetables and fruit. Whole green beans sauteed in a spicy chile sauce was good. The bean sprouts tasted ok although they were room temp. The sliced apples tasted ok. (hard to mess that up) The fried rice and lo mein weren't "good", very bland, but if you're hungry, they're edible. The pork chops weren't "good" either but I managed to eat one. All of the chicken entrees I tried were very disappointing. Chicken and broccoli, fried chicken, sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, hot wings, etc.. none were tasty. The meat was tough, overcooked, stringy, whatever adjective you can use for bad chicken applies. I didn't dare try any of the seafood. Squid, whole shell on shrimp, "krab" baked with cheese etc. And they have a lot of oddball items you don't expect to see on a Chinese buffet. Polish sausage, french fries, pizza etc. It cost about $11 with a drink included. I'm typing this about 3 hours after going, and I'm feeling hungry already because I didn't eat much during my visit. Almost everything I tried, I'd take one bite and not want more. New China Buffet is among the worst Chinese buffets I've visted in my life. Golden Nugget, a small Chinese buffet across the street on the south side of Indian School, tastes so much better. May Garden, about a mile west on 59th ave is far better too. I don't know how they stay in business. Someone must have incredibly low standards to think this buffet is good. read more

This is a long time favorite. We have been coming here for about 10+years. They have a great variety of food: shrimp a few different ways, fish, honey sesame chicken, beef & broccoli, chicken, hot wings, lo mein, pizza, chicken nuggets, salad fresh fruit, jello, ice cream and so much more- overall the food is good. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. It's reasonably priced and large enough for big families or coworkers having lunch. Everyone has a different taste and some may not agree, but in the 15 years we've been coming, it has always been clean with good service and great food read more

See all

Great food selection! Family friendly. Loved the deep fried ginger crab! Definitely coming back! read more

New China Buffet - a large pile of crab legs - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. The customer service is like the food here, very bland, and cold. The only thing we enjoyed were our drinks, and there were so many kids running around the buffet just sticking their hands in the food and eating right there at the buffet line. Will never return. read more

For the price, this is probably the best buffet I have ever been to in Arizona. Great selection with all that sea food. For 10 dollars lunch, there is NO way you can have this quality and quantity anywhere else. I absolutely recommend this joint! read more

A place to enjoy your Chinese meal. They have so much to choose from. All the food is fresh, all the time. Wish they had chicken feet and small raw octopus Could use more fish selections, and less chicken selections. If they did, I would eat there all the time. Team members are very friendly and will help you with whatever they can. Delicious, Yummy Chinese food. Only thing I don't like is that they have no ranch, and they have no Hot Mustard, or Wasabi. Just bring your own ranch and hot mustard, and you will be good to go. Prices are right on. read more

Out of the four buffet tables none were hot. I will say one of those were cold food so that one was perfect. The rest literally was cold chicken everywhere! Not sure how anyone gave this place a five star review! But if you don't want flavor this is the place to come. Everything is one flavor even the Ice cream taste like everything else. Me and a few friends came here looking at the other reviews on how amazing it was but negative they have to pay people for those reviews. You couldn't pay me to eat here again. But 10 bucks is really cheap so it's a great price for all you can eat cold food! Seriously the drinks are what you pay for! The chocolate icecream my friends had was tangy and spicy. We are all still hungry and none of us ate anything we got. We sampled everything. The rice is amazing!!!!! So great!!! But for people to say this place is a five star dining you my friend are on some good meth!!! Anyways no more ranting this place just sucks and do not try the sea food you will get slime all over you!!! read more

Food was cold and the fruit bad I asked for my money back and they took out for the drinks

Went here a second time after the first was fantastic. Definitely a disappointment. No fresh food out at all and nothing tasted good either.

Decent selection, everything was hot and tasty, not over salted like some I've been to. The crab Rangoon was really good, and the orange chicken and lo mein noodles were on point. It was clean and approachable, I'd go back, plus they have soft serve to top off your trip. (Cones too)! read more

Absolutely the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. We happened to see the New China Buffet, at 51st Ave and Indian School Rd, one day while driving by and decided we would have to check it out. Well, I really wish we hadn`t. There was a large selection to choose from, so I had my favorite, which is sesame chicken, along with orange chicken, lo mein noodles, the string beans and some egg drop soup. My wife had the lo mein, some kind of crab meat, sweet and sour chicken, some kind of vegi mix with broccoli and what ever the other vegis were, along with a couple of cheese puffs. Where to start? Nothing was hot. Warm at best. The sesame chicken was very bland with no flavor at all. Very disappointed. The orange chicken was pretty much the same, as was the sweet and sour. How do you mess up sweet and sour? At least the chicken was tender and not over cooked. The lo mein was flavorless and actually had a weird after taste to it. The egg drop soup was so oily, that it actually made me sick to my stomach. The string beans, even though you could see seasoning on the beans, was tasteless. The crab tasted more like some really bad cod, than it did like crab. The broccoli vegi mix was under cooked and was like eating raw vegis and also was very bland. At least the cheese puffs were decent. The best part of the whole meal...Leaving, knowing that we would never make the mistake of eating there again. read more

The food was terrible! It's so hot and stuffy in there you don't even feel comfortable. It's just ghetto honestly. I would consider the Chinese buffet in surprise az 100x better. read more

Food wasn't great, tasted horrible. The meat was also undercooked. Was here for only 5 mins and left. Just please make your food taste better . Then I might think of coming back. read more
