New China Buffet — Restaurant in Phoenix

Not worth it, go elsewhere. There are far better and far more local AYCE Chinese buffet options for the same price.

I go to Chinese buffets often, last week I went to Pacific Seafood buffet and Hibachi Super Grill in Chandler and Mesa, the food exceeded my expectations and was less expensive than this place.

Also, having worked at a Chinese buffet as a teen, I could tell they weren’t serving the freshest food… I came shortly after they opened up shop and a lot of the food was already dry and bland looking. Their buffet isn’t very warm either. And I saw many health hazards and cross contamination, specifically with the sauces and a tub of chicken that had a piece of seafood in it.

Oh, and another red flag was that the take out scale doesn’t show us (the customer) how much the take out weighs. It’s not printed on your receipt nor do they announce how much it weighs. The guy ringing us out didn’t really speak at all and wasn’t very courteous. I’ve never been to a Chinese buffet that wasn’t transparent about the weight and didn’t show you how much your food weighs.

I feel bad and hate leaving such bad reviews at small businesses but I do regret spending my money here and I feel scared to eat my takeout.

Price: $21 and change for 2 barely filled boxes of food and a single can of coke. And when I say barely filled, I mean it. We were hesitant to get much of anything because of how...

Went here for the first time yesterday and when I walked in, no one was at the counter to let us pay for awhile. Anyone could have easily gotten food and just sat down without paying. There was about 5 dishes to “choose” from and most of those were had a smidge left in the pans. The orange chicken looked like chicken nuggets and didn’t have the sauce on them; instead, it was just sitting on top of it. I tried some of that along with wings, black pepper chicken, kung pao chicken and wontons. The only thing that was partially tolerable was the black pepper chicken and wontons. Let’s just say I left the place hungry. The owner was nice, but this place is definitely not worth $10. I hate to give out one star ratings but for this place, I have to. It...

Came here for the first time back in March 2024. We decided to try this restaurant on a whim. Once walking in we could see it was run down and out dated. The service wasn't there, you are your own service. They charged alot for not much of a buffet. Everything was almost gone, certain dishes were dried out from sitting in the pans for so long from the heat lamps. The food isn't hot, I picked out foods I knew that they kept refilling freshly like the egg rolls but even then some dishes were bland or they had used old produce and you could see and taste it. The restaurant was small and crowded it seemed to be regulars that kept this restaurant open for so long. The walls and floors were dirty, a few tables as well....
