Decent Buffett, good selection of dishes. Go early for best selections. Sushi rolls were good

My friend was doing a deliver in this area and found this Chinese Buffet and we had to give it a try today. It was about 20mins from my house and the drive wasn't bad at all. The restaurant is located on the right side of the plaza where Hitchcocks's Grocery is located. We were greeted at the door and shown to our seat. The restaurant was clean, and had the slight dim "buffet" style lighting look. The lunch special ended around 3pm, and we arrived around 2:20pm and they were still bringing out fresh food. There were plenty of options on the buffet table including tasty deserts. Our waiter was nice and the service was very pleasant. 10/10 will visit again. Small tip: the women's bathroom was out of hand soap but the waiter was nice enough to let me use their kitchen soap to wash my hands. That was very kind of her. read more

Service staff are attentive and the kitchen staff make sure that food is hot and fresh. The dining area is well laid out and the vibe of the place is very chill. Overall I will keep coming here as much as I can. read more

My wife and I ate lunch at the Red Wok in Newberry, Florida, yesterday after church. We both chose to have our food from the buffet. They have a large selection of what you would expect at a Chinese style restaurant. I decided on pepper chicken, a few noodles, with green beans and some additional proteins. It tasted fairly fresh, hot, and appealing to the eye. There is a rather large selection of Asian style dishes, with a spattering of western foods too. Dawn, is fond of sushi, and she said the sushi bar was decent. The service is always above average and prompt; the dining area is always clean, though the decor is just a little dated and predictable. The staff and servers are constantly cleaning, rotating out freshly cooked foods, and checking on guest. Depending on the time you come in, the buffet can get hit pretty hard during lunch, and there may be a wait for certain buffet items. On Sundays, there is a lot seafood on the buffet, which elevates the prices a bit higher, than compared to where they are during the rest of the week. Generally, the food is good and comparable to other similar restaurants in the area. The prices during the week at lunch are fair and reasonable. I look forward to the occasional trips to the Red Wok, and will visit them a few times during the year. read more

I have to say this has become my favorite restaurant. They have the best tasting sushi in the area as well as some of the best tasting dishes, always fresh, nothing ever sits out long enough to go cold, bland, or dry, extremely affordable too, my family and I go every week now since we found it ourselves in February, and here it is June, P.S. the family that owns and runs it are very nice and courteous people. read more

My wife and I thought we'd try them last night. Enough food in the steamers but it had been there since lunch and everything was cold, just cold... We couldn't eat most of it. They had a large water spill around the back steamer that they were all busy cleaning up. Not my idea of a good place to eat. read more

Great buffet , great food, friendly staff , have never had a bad experience I see people saying that the bins were empty , every time I've been there never had this happen , I'll be back soon read more

Hadn't been in a while, the selection wasn't as good as it used to be. Service and cleanliness was OK but won't hurry back.

I recently moved out of Gainesville to newberry and although the distance is not very far the food scene is worlds apart. If you want pizza or bar b q well newberry has your back but I was tired of the same 3 restaurants so I got on the Yelp app and looked to see what else my new hometown had to offer and I stumbled upon Red Wok. I ordered a lunch special to go because I did not realize this was an buffet kinda place. But they loaded up my plate so major props to them for not skimping on the serving size. I mean "wow!" This plate was literally piled high. They couldn't fit another noodle in this thing. The price was extremely fair and the taste was ok, not great not bad just good. I gave them an extra star because of how quick and easy the staff made my pick up. I ordered over the phone and hopped in my car and in the time it took me to drive down the road to the restaurant my food was ready to go. It's not my favorite Chinese place but considering it's the only one in town it really is not too bad. read more

This is a good chinese buffet. We were warmly greated upon arrival and directed to a booth. Our drink order was taken and delivered promptly. I always hit the hot n sour soup first and it was tasty. Then I tried a number of dishes offered. Some were definately better than others but all in all the food was good. The staff here is very good about removing used plates and refilling soda. After a few trips I was happy and we were happily thanked by the owner and asked to visit again. I will definately try it again. read more

Amazing people work here! Such kind staff and great food! 10/10 recommend this place! Also all of the staff is in masks and following safety procedures which I appreciate a ton! read more

There's alot of food but its lack luster. It's of fair quality and quickly prepared. It's definitely best budget chinese buffet. My favorite is the hot and sour soup. It's pretty darn good. The buffet is certainly not as good as it was three or four years ago. It's hot, decent, cheap, and the only chinese food in town. read more

Red Wok Buffet - Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Newberry, Florida

8 of the food bins are empty. And I don't know how or why, but the food that is there is only lukewarm. It's only 2 p.m. in the afternoon so no reason why they should not be refilling the food. I'm sure that they are going to charge me full price, but I really should be getting a discount for half the food being empty. The people here are nice enough, but if you want mediocre Chinese food, this is the spot for you. Don't read more

Red Wok Buffet is deceptive: its location next to a grocery store and a Subway makes it seem from the outside like it may be only a small take-out Chinese joint, but once inside it opens up to a decent-sized dining room with a three-unit buffet. It's a bit worn around the edges, sure, but overall it's clear they try to keep it clean and tidy-they even had Christmas ornaments up for the season when I visited in early December of 2015. The owners/staff are not too talkative but seem concerned with running a quality restaurant, too. I'm not in general a fan of Asian buffets as I fear often the food isn't the highest in quality, probably over-laden in salt and possibly MSG, and may have sat out too long on top of it all. However, after reading the overall good Yelp reviews of Red Wok, I decided to give it a try since I was out in Newberry today anyways. Overall, the food was pretty good. Not exceptional, it was also in the style you'd expect for take-out type American Chinese, but certainly wasn't bad. They were bringing out fresh food while I was there and a couple local high school kids and I circled the buffet like sharks awaiting the fresh honey chicken and teriyaki chicken on a stick to arrive from the kitchen. They also had General Tso's chicken, some pepper chicken dish, egg rolls, crab rangoons, a few other typical meat and stir-fried veggies type dishes, sushi (in a little fridge in the back), and some little desserts like cake and cookies. Out of what I sampled, here's what I thought: The teriyaki chicken on a stick was great and good portions, too. The honey chicken was fresh from the kitchen and very tasty, the General Tso's had sat out a while but if fresh I think would have been very good as well. The crab rangoons were pretty good though the egg roll was just ok. Most of the stir-fry dishes were also ok, but had sat out and were not fresh from the kitchen and since some dishes were, that made those that were not kinda stand out in a bad way. Most of this food, mind you, is not any too healthy: the salt alone is probably off the chain, but for now and then it's not a bad meal and the buffet format is appealing. I'd certainly come back. read more

The food was amazing! That's all.

Really enjoyed this Chinese buffet. It was fresh and delicious. It's a drive from Gainesville, but well worth it!

It is sad when you go to a restaurant that states it is a buffet and over half the pans are empty. When you ask if any more food is going to be put out, no one answered, just look at you like you are crazy. The food that is on the buffet is old and cold, and cold. read more

Food was fresh. Their hot/sour soup was stupendous. General Tao Chicken a bit tough. Wait staff very prompt. Reasonably priced and they offer senior discount when I asked for military discount. Ones as good as another. read more

Had been wanting to try this place for quite a while... But I was completely disappointed! I arrived on a Saturday afternoon about 3:00pm. the place was empty, but so were all the containers of food. I was told more would be coming out in 5 minutes, but much to my disappointment the only thing they brought out was three fresh pans of crap and the rest of the other two islands were still empty. I gag down what I could, went back to see what they brought out fresh, and decided I was done. Even the ice cream had a weird taste to it, look like it was kind of old and freezer burnt on top. I won't be going back there that's for sure. $12 down the drain, definitely not worth it!!!!! Yuck!!!!! read more

Although I prefer businesses that were part of this town before the population boom, this place is an exception. Nobody expects much at a China buffet in general, but this one is particularly unpleasant. I've had hair in my food and a few other issues here over the years. read more

It looks filthy, and the tables and chairs always feel sticky. Given that the health department has cited them numerous times for pests, I won't go back. read more

Red Wok has three buffet tables of hot food, one of salad and desserts, and an ice cream cooler. All the food was fresh and appetizing, even though we ate at the worst time for that (late afternoon, but not yet "dinner hour" -- the time when many buffets have a bunch of drying remnants instead of fresh fare). Several varieties of chicken, ranging from mild to spicy (Tso's); the best teriyaki "chicken on a stick" I've had in a long time if ever; a couple of pork dishes; several seafood offerings (salmon, shrimp and frog legs); the usual rice, veggie and egg fu yung selections, all attractively presented and well-made. The service was friendly, courteous and efficient without being intrusive or overbearing. Not as full-featured as Ocean in nearby Gainesville -- only a couple of sushi roll selections and no "custom cook hibachi" service -- but less expensive (especially for a Sunday!) and not as crowded. A very solid Chinese buffet. read more

Just ate at the Red Wok this evening. For a Chinese Buffett it was very good, I had a little of just about everything they had, it was all very good and fresh. When I walked in they sat us down immediately, took our drink order and had brought them within 3 minutes. Thru out the dinner they kept our drinks full. The food was very good, and based on other places around Gainesville they were the best in my opinion. I didn't look at the prices when I came in and got worried as we ate. But when we were finished and the bill arrived I was presently surprised! This will be my new best Chinese Buffett of the area, read more

Nice environment, good variety of food. Quick service. Clean! Cheapest meal my husband and I have had out in a long time, a whopping 19.00 for two buffet and waters. A great family oriented place to eat! read more

Against my better judgement I ordered take out from a Chinese Buffet. Price was very reasonable, but when I got home, EVERYTHING tasted horrible. Every single item from the wanton soup to the fried rice and Mongolian beef had a trace of bleach or dirty dish water taste. The only thing edible was the sweet & sour chicken (probably because it was fried in oil and didn't have a chance to touch a dirt dish), and it still wasn't great. Whoever is managing that kitchen should be ashamed of themselves. Definitely the worst I have ever had. Will never EVER order from there again. I am literally still tasting bleach as I type this, thinking of making myself a PB&J sandwich. read more
