New China Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Roanoke Rapids

New China use to be my favorite place to eat; but due to the treatment given by their Hispanic waitress was unacceptable. The restaurant has ok food; but what makes a great place to eat isn't it's food, but the service. Our waitress had an additive when we ask to sit in the sit in the front with my friend's mother. She came by our table and refilled my cup and my friends mother cup but never my friend no matter how many times he requested and asked her multiple times. She hand the bill to his mother out of disrespect when he paid. Even after asking the eleventh time before leaving she pass our table and went to someone else and as we were watching her. She continuously stood next to the soda machine, talk to her fellow waitresses to avoid serving. The waitress didn't know that we knew a of Hispanic because she even laughed with her fellow waitresses about how willing rude and disrepectful she was to him. I never seen such hateful profiling in my life. We gotten so upset and annoyed that we left with a complaint to the owner that the waitress and their Hispanic waitresses need some talking to. (Never Again Will I eat there.) New China needs a change of employees fast. In the past they had excellent customer service and waitresses that no matter who you are they will fulfill your request and was...

Not good.

The place was clean and the staff nice. The variety is small, which is fine. The food options are generic to any other Chinese buffet, which again is fine.

The issue is that despite being generic food, none of it tasted right.

The 'sesame chicken' tasted like orange chicken with sesame seeds, and a spash of hot sauce for some reason. Their house sauce chicken tasted the same but more hot sauce.

The other chicken dishes had sauces that made them really slimy. The steak options didn't taste like they were cooked with the other ingredients; very bland.

The wontons were tough and tasted weird, with next to no filling.

The fruit/jello is not chilled so it all tasted warm and weird.

The cookies are literally from the dollar store. They just took off the wrappers and put down the whole plastic tray.

The only redeeming part was the hibachi grill cook. He did a very good job and cooked the meats very nicely.

That said, they did not have any sauces that you normally have at hibachi to customize your flavor. They only had packets of soy sauce or chile sauce that you could sit there and open, and then the chef used an unlabeled sauce to moisten and flavor the food. It did date good but I have no idea...

Let's start of by saying the place was very clean and modern. The staff seemed to stay busy and clean furniture and stir food. Lets also remember not everyone likes the same things and has varied tastes. With that in mine let's get to the food. Very small variety, and odd stuff you don't normally see at buffets. No General Tso, No kung Pao, no items I see at other Asian style buffets. Instead they had items like House Chicken, sesame chicken which were both soggy from sitting in a sauce like water. I sampled a taste or 2 of most items and found them to be flavorless and odd tasting. Most of the items had that (I'm gonna be sick later) flavor to them. Remember, I said in the beginning that people have different taste. Maybe you will like it. They had a hibachi but no sushi bar. This is a huge hit in atmosphere to me. In my pictures you will see 2 piece of the same house chicken. Both are different colors like some new was added to old.

Conclusion is they need items that people are used to getting and want. I have never ate at a buffet and felt the need to brush me teeth just to get the taste out of my mouth. I hope the other buffet in town is...
