Lins Chinese Buffett

Closed. thank good b/​c it sucked

On my trip through Gloversville, I made a stop for lunch at New China Buffet in the Arterial Plaza around 2:45 PM. This «deep/​not so wide» strip plaza space has a full service dining room as well as a long buffet station along the right wall.
This All Day Buffet features around 50 items, mostly the standard Chinese items/​dishes, soups, salad, and desserts. The buffet prices are $ 6.25 (adults), $ 4.75 (kids 7 – 9), $ 3.75 (kids 3 – 6), and kids under 3 are free. Soda is $ 1.25.
Since I was on a schedule, I instead got some takeout and ordered L3 Shrimp Lo Mein with Pork Fried Rice ($ 4.75 plus tax). While waiting for my order, I took a walk by of the long buffet station and immediately noticed the similarities of the offerings here with the offerings at Full House Buffet in Amsterdam. The lo mein noodles looked identical (slightly overcooked), as well as the fried rice and they had mini quiches and cruncht seafood balls too! They even had the same hard ice cream in the freezer, but the fortune cookies given here were different. However, the selection at this buffet is half the size of Full House and the food here was sitting out a while. My order was ready to go in about 10 minutes after ordering.
Just for kicks, I did mention to the staff that the food here looks very similar to Full House Buffet in Amsterdam and was told by an employee that New China Buffet and Full House Buffet are owned by the same person, who rarely comes around here.
As for the lunch special, the portion of food was good sized and filling. It was mainly thick lo mein noodles which were soft (slightly overcooked) and tossed with tender shrimp (cleaned), onions, cabbage, & onions. The pork fried rice (yellow) color had a soft firm texture with peas, carrot, onions, & small pieces of roast pork. The food was good overall.
