New China Buffet

Not bad. Standard Chinese buffet. Not amazing. Pricing was reasonable, restaurant red appeared mostly clean. Did have egg shell in egg drop soup and chicken wings had some feathers. Surprised to not see dumplings or wontons on the buffet.

Visited again for the dinner buffet. On a Thursday evening around 8:30. Broke one of my rules and went to a buffet within 2 hours of closing. This buffet was still well stocked with fresh food.
Same great buffet like my previous visit. The only negative is that the dinner buffet costs more. Usually this means they put out the more expensive food. They were a couple of different dishes but most were the same. Better for me to visit it for lunch instead of dinner.
Disappointed that they didn’t have the fried wonton. But the other selections made up for it.

The food was good, buffet well stocked and kept tidy, everything fresh and hot. The staff did well considering we bombarded them with a group of over 50 people. The price was as expected, my bill for 7 people was less than 60 bucks. Only 4 stars because the building shows its age and needs maintained.

Rude. The front desk people are so rude when I asked her why the price was different than they advertised. Food is really nothing better than any Chinese buffet in the area. Will never come back here again.

Terrible. Selection is scarce, food was cold, seemed to be sitting for hours. Service was nice but I wish I would have went to Panda Express instead. I’m not giving up on Chinese buffets yet, but will never ever go here again.

It’s really a great place for the selection and value. It’s in a facility that appears to be in a little need of repair, but for the quality and value, you can’t go wrong here.

We first tried this location several months ago. The Chinese food selection is amazing, fresh and hot. The service is a ten. Very nice people as well as reasonable prices.

I had no intentions of coming here today. But someone came by the office and said Chinese? Heck yes been a long time!
The price of this buffet is really a great deal $ 7.99 for lunch. And the food was better than I have ever could of imagined. Every dish I sampled, sweet sour soup, mushroom chicken, General Tso’s chicken were really just outstanding.
New China is not close to my home but doable for lunch. It may be the only time I will get here. I hope not because the food is that good.

Wow! This place honestly has the best Chinese buffet in St. Louis! Everything I ate was good. The lo mein is very authentic and much less oily than other places. It was perfect. Plus, one of the greeter/​hosts is really cute.

This place isn’t bad. They have 5 buffets to chose from. Everything you can think of they have on the buffet. The food was decent. The service was very good. They are very quick to clear your plates and give you refills. I of course ate way more then I needed to. I came home and sleep for like 3 hours afterwards. I did see the manager checking the temperature on all the food which isn’t something I should see be done. But it still made me feel a little better that they are keeping a good eye on the buffet temperatures. This place has been around forever so doing something right.

I’m not a picky eater. Nor am I anything close to a foodie. (Ask the generic cereal I had for dinner last night). But I expect my food to be edible. This was not. At dinner tonight, coupon in hand, I was ready to gorge myself on endless helpings of really good bad-​for-​you Chinese food.
Maybe the beef Broccoli was Chinese. My assumption, if it was, is that it was actually cooked in China and it’s been in a slow-​cooker on a boat for two months before it arrived in our fair city because I can think of no other explanation for the mushy and pungent flavor of this dish. The crab legs were about at thick as my toothbrush and most of them had about two bites of tough and acidic meat. The coconut shrimp tasted like what Hawaiian Tropic might taste like. The BBQ chicken has to have been made from scraps. It was all fat. The crab Rangoon tasted like it was not only imitation crab but imitation cheese fried in imitation oil. The rice was dry. The sweet and sour chicken was tough, chewy and the sauce was the consistency warm Vaseline and didn’t taste much better.
Trying to get all these bad tastes out of my mouth I went to the safest thing I could find: Jello. But even that tasted wrong. Like really, really wrong. How do you mess up Jello? They managed to.
The best part of the meal was the prewrapped fortune cookies. I hoped when I broke it open it would contain a coupon for Tums. But it just said I had an opportunity coming my way.
And I believe that opportunity is to direct all my fellow bargain meal hunters to a less bad place.
Ill give it two stars only because the staff was attentive and kept the buffet stocked and clean.

Plenty to choose from! In fact pulling into the parking lot a sign even says, «over 80 items every day». The staff was working hard cleaning, at least while we were there. The food quality was OK, but nothing to set them apart from every other chinese place. Some of the trays should have probably been cycled sooner.

Nice buffet with a good selection of different types of foods. They even have more than just Chinese items, they have garlic bread, some little cakes for dessert, fried chicken of different sorts (I didn’t try any of them but they had breaded fried chicken, and others in different sauces), french fries, and fried potatoes with seasoning which was actually pretty good. Of course, they have the usual Chinese items including soups and their food was actually decent.

They usually have a decent crowd at lunchtime. There are about 4 buffet tables — salads, desserts, rice-​noodles and entrees, and appetizer-​like foods (rangoon, eggrolls, etc). Selection is decent, food is OK, service is nice. Drinks stay filled, dirty plates are quickly cleared.
Some of the foods they had at lunch were: boneless spare ribs, General Tso’s Chicken, chicken on a stick, crab rangoon, steamed dumplings, eggrolls, honey chicken, beef and broccoli, shrimp and (imitation) crab, mushroom chicken.
We did see some people getting take-​out boxes to fill up at the buffet. We couldn’t tell if they charged by the container or by the pound. There was a scale at the counter, but I didn’t see them use it (then again, I didn’t have my eyes glued to it). :)

5 sections of food hot/​cold
Crab legs were juicy but small, and just the right seasoning because it wasn’t too salty. Buffet dinner was like $ 11 or so a person which was the best we could find in St Louis given the other buffet someone told us was good with seafood was $ ¹⁶⁄₁₇ a pop.
Selection was decent and ice cream is real ice cream about 5 flavors. We killed the crab legs and loved how the restaurant doesn’t wait until we leave to refill the dishes but refills when it is really out. Restaurant was not pack and fit our 17 seater group kids and all. We were happy with service which is good they cleaned up plates and refilled drinks, very attentive.
