I had written this review but never got around to posting it. I went here back in September of…read more2025. Service was hard at first. We had a big group of 12 and we weren't sure if we needed to get a table first and then pay, or how it worked. And the servers didn't understand what we were trying to ask. The buffet had limited selection of food, which some of was okay. My favorites were the egg drop soup, cream cheese ragoon and green beans. The desserts were also okay. It's definitely a place if you want to stuff up on a lot of food at an okay price.

Update: Still very very flavorful food for a Chinese buffet,…read moretypical items but tasty. Fried chicken wings are very good. Still not using as much ginger in them which is great for us. Just a hint. Fried fish, I can't ever get enough of it, absolutely one of my favorites. well worked and constantly cleaned and filled and best thing of all hot. Salads and deserts still fresh. Drinks are still included in buffet as well as a soft serve machine. Also white and the best chocolate milk available as well. We come here at least twice a month now for the last year and still consistently good food every time. Still our heavy to go place for Chinese if you're looking for an assortment. Bathrooms are always clean, as well as the buffet area. Plates are cleared quickly off the tables. They also offer a menu as well. Yessss we love this place still.

The wait staff was good but we ordered salads with our meal and the person who brought out our food was very rude. We said oh we thought we got salads and she said well that's not really my problem. Anyways, the food was delicious and the egg rolls appetizer was very very good. My husband got steak and that was delicious. I got the chicken/crab roll and that was really good. We would definitely go back but it was odd that we didn't get our salads and the person that brought out our food was so rude.

Last but not least got the house special lo mein that had with pork, chicken and shrimp (SO GOOD) that came with fried rice and an egg roll. We loved our food and it cane out pretty quickly. The guy who took our order was really nice. This place is kinda old but has inside seating. You can either eat in or take out!

Actually, I stumbled on this restaurant because the hours on the other restaurants in downtown…read moreBemidji were not open till 4pm or 5pm. And New China was open at 3pm perhaps even the hours were 11am-8??! I think. For $10.49 I ordered House Special Lo Mein and Kevin out front was nice, he expressed that the chow mein is not the soft noodle kind and he showed me what Lo Mein looked like and I really like that because he did not want me to order the wrong noodles which I totally appreciated. My meal was awesome, he even had chili oil and when I asked for chopsticks, he had some handy. Not at the front though, but you can certainly ask for some. The place is not entirely fancy and it's casual but I sat at the restaurant and for a Tuesday, it wasn't super packed but a couple of folks waited for their food to go. The egg roll was actually really good than most places I've ordered from. Lots of free parking out front and surrounding areas in downtown. It's a quaint small but lovely and friendly town. No complaints here. I almost devoured my food due to a long day! I don't live in the area but appreciate New China for cooking delicious Chinese food. So good I saved for the next day for dinner. Also, Kevin was super cool, he gave me 3 fortunes cookies with my meal!

Price: Exceptional (with coupon) Cleanliness: Exceptional…read moreAtmosphere: Relevant & Comfortable Food: Semi-Fresh Staff: Friendly I came to this restaurant one hour to close. The staff was happy to accept my coupon and I paid $7.58 for my meal. The restaraunt was very tidy and the food was very good. If you are familiar with the chain Panda Express it was nearly the same quality only all you could eat and a drink was included in the price. Music was exceptional. There are quite a bit of choices at this buffet, including 10 different choices of ice cream. The food was still fresh, aside from the steamed rice, but they were out of coffee. I could expect nothing less at 9pm. I did not feel rushed during my meal and would definately come back. I highly recommend this buffet for the dinner price and staff attentiveness. Hours of operation 11am-10pm everyday.

The only positive thing I have to say is I did not leave hungry . Nauseated, Contracting the back…read moredoor trots 15 MI down the road , and a horrible taste in my mouth until I could Swig a beer into my next stop , all accounted for . Everything dipped an oil tasted like weeks old oil . If you don't mind what you put down your gullet , 1350 is a pretty good bargain to walk away with a full stomach . But if you appreciate the wonderful flavors of most Chinese food , I would avoid this stop . After sampling 15 different foods or so the only thing I can look forward to was the end of the meal where I could go grab one tiny little cup of iced over orange sherbet of which when I finally dug into found out the bottom third was all ice water that froze and separated from the rest of the cup . Every dessert and cookie tasted like they each had 36 ingredients none of which were natural Foods. To go back to the positive , I did leave full it was consumable , and I actually don't regret spending $13.50 to not have to eat again for possibly 48 hours , because my desire for food has been driven below the depths of my soul . And I imagine that's not coming back for a day or two . But if you love chinese, do not possibly ruin your appreciation of the creative and succulent flavors of authentic oriental food . That was not Chinese food , it was Americanized versions with tons of sugar in every thing that was sweet and maybe even some things that weren't . I do not know if they use MSG . But in this particular circumstance if they did use it they should have used more even though I don't like to eat things with MSG I'm sure it actually would have improved the flavor . Sorry to be so harsh I know everybody works hard . But need a new Chef new recipes or something . This camper was not happy . Best part of my day when I was able to consume four Tums and drink a wineenkugel's honey Weiss beer​

A really wonderful lakefront resort, with everything you might want. They have free water sport…read morerentals like stand up paddle boards, kayaks and canoes. They also have free bike rentals, a great sand volleyball court, horseshoes, basketball, tennis and pickle ball. And if the lake is warm enough, there is a waterslide in the lake which looked fun. We were here Memorial Day weekend, and the weather was beautiful our first day, so we took out the paddleboards, and that was fun. The weather got chilly quickly, so I didn't have the opportunity to try the rest of the amenities. The pool is currently closed for construction. (There is a nice pool at the YMCA in Grand Rapids which we used one day for a $10 day pass). We stayed in a two bedroom lakefront cabin which was nice, but fairly rustic, and one of the bedrooms had absolutely no storage, (no closet, shelves or dresser). Next time, I think we would stay in the lodge rooms, which are a bit more upscale, with fireplaces, full kitchens, Jacuzzi tub and nicer furnishings. They have a restaurant/bar on site with a an outdoor patio and nice view of the lake, which is convenient. They also have free coffee and muffins in the morning at the front desk and at Otis's.The staff and management were incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend, and look forward to coming here again, hopefully when the weather is a little warmer!

We were there last week, you would think they could space people out in rooms with very few staying. We had two adjoining room and on the far side was a drunk group that puked and you could hear it two rooms over. Upon entering the buildings the exterior and hallways were trashy. The water park had just opened on Thursday and all the trash barrels were full. Bathrooms were not something you would want to use in water park. The entire property needs a serious cleaning and painting. The check in process was very slow. Sorry to see this property not taken care of, will not return.

Shift change should never be more than 30 minutes. When checking out, the attendant was outside smoking (after watching us walk in to checkout and saw me standing there for 30 min) Finally when I approached him because I couldn't wait anymore he assured me he would check me out. It has been 2 weeks now and they are still holding my money. When I called to get it out the woman assured me I would get an email to send my back to release my funds. When I was trying to explain the situation, she continued to cut me off and not listen to anything was saying. She said, " I will personally handle it myself at midnight and have the form to you right away" That was just a lie to get me to stop complaining. I will never return to any of their properties. Absolutely disgusting behavior, customer service and terrible management. All while holding my money, I left our room in pristine condition when I left so there was absolutely no reason to hold it for 30 days. Lazy Lazy management and employees.
