New China Buffet

The food is a fucking shit for six persons 101 bucks , it's the first fucking buffet too expensive , oooh without tips too. Seriously not recommended anybody, believe me .

La comida tremenda mierda para la hora que fuimos , sin comida casi y practicamente eran sobras , pero 18 dolares por personas y sin dar propinas por la atencion mala tambien k tuvimos , naaa que vaa, el primer china buffet mas caro que he ido en toda la florida , no lo recomiendo a nadie.

I've been coming here as a child, so I guess it's safe to say it's one of my childhood restaurants. But growing up, my palette has matured and by this point, I've experienced better Chinese buffets. The only reason why I come here now is because this is my father's favorite spot; it's nostalgic and cheap.

Because I have been here many times before, inaccurately reflected by my check-ins, I can say there have been some changes, most good, a few bad. Their recent renovation was definitely a great move, with cleaner seats and tables covered with clear garnish for a sleek look and easy cleaning, ceilings filled with Chinese photography/art in which light illuminate each tile -- very pretty, and they added a sound station in the private room, perhaps for karaoke or some sort of entertainment for parties. Some of other new additions I'm not too fond of include the hibachi bar and the relocation of the sushi bar. The hibachi bar is not a big hit; every time I go, no one is in line. Nothing seems appealing at the hibachi bar, which used to be the sushi bar, and the sign above the hibachi bar was handwritten (badly). It now just looks like an open-faced kitchen with ingredients scattered around. The sushi bar has it's on spot with the other food, and it looks a little better there, but the sushi isn't entirely great. They have more selection now but for some reason quality seemingly decreased. It makes me miss the better-tasting-little-option sushi. Also another change was the discontinuation of the Chinese meatballs. THOSE WERE SO GOOD. The only greasy thing I'd actually consider scarfing down. I don't know why that's gone, but maybe it's a good thing.

Other than those changes, food stayed the same. I still always start off my first plate with greens (Chinese mustard greens with garlic and long green beans) and mushroom dishes, then my second plate is dim sum and sometimes a bit of sushi, followed by a 3rd optional plate of miscellaneous cravings and lastly a dessert bun (either custard or cream cheese). Everything else, I can do away with. The greens and mushroom dishes are pretty good. Again, the sushi is not so great, but the dim sum is better (although I've tried better), and I get my dim sum with the gyoza sauce. As a child, I always got ice cream but now I've been into the buns. I've tried better custard buns, but I do like their cream cheese bun. In fact, the last time I went, the cream cheese wasn't as soft and sweet as the other times I've had their buns -- it was quite dissatisfying, but it's a hint that they make it themselves (hopefully) and they'll have their good batches and their bad.

I usually came for lunch, but I've been there for dinner many times as well and I'll tell you, not much of a difference in food. Only major difference is that there are king crab legs, and that's the only thing that makes the dinner more worth it. I used to see oysters out for dinner too, but not lately. Maybe that's another change. All in all, it's an OK experience, as I have had better, but I'll still come for as long as my dad lives and we relive the nostalgia of my childhood here.

The bathroom smells like a dog kennel.

If that wasn't enough for you, there's really nothing outstanding about this place if you're looking for Asian Buffet Dining. Everything is mediocre at best (as usual with buffets). Even their fountain sodas taste weird! I only drink water when I'm forced to come here with family. *sigh* Why does my family enjoy going to cheap, nasty buffets? The only highlight in which the star is earned: the coffee fudge ice cream.

4 and i'll tell ya why....

IF you've ever been to HK you'd know it's about the food...The Food...THE FOOD!

(I go around early lunch or just past the lunch rush when the stuff is fresh it's good... if you go there at 4pm expecting hot fresh you're IDIOTS! do you look for fresh crab from a red lobster at 3am??)

some ppl are so f'n unreasonable...

Look, for a $9 and change lunch this is as good as you're gonna get... they have quite a lot of seafood and dim sum with a splash of sushi FOR $9!!!

$9!

At this price/value point this is as good as it can get...provided you show up at a f'n reasonable time!

Can't say this place is my cup of tea, other than the tea.

Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against buffets nor was the service something to criticize about but let's just say I was left without a satisfaction food wise.
I would say this is your casual buffet with the highlight being a few dim sum items and almond custard bun.
Other than that it's what you can expect at the usual Chinese buffet with a little sushi station of mediocre variations of the California roll. I was a bit skeptical upon getting anything with tuna, based on the tuna sitting in the glass container (since tuna is often graded by clarity) was rather murky but the salmon somewhat (JB roll'ish) sufficed for my raw assurance.
If you looking upon your diet you might be turned down by cream cheese in most of the items, but then again, if you're conscious about your health, you're a will limited on your selection here; although you probably would already know that.

As a last remark, you get what you pay for, but I've experienced better Chinese buffets.

I love myself some Chinese buffets and this one is definitely on the higher end. Heck, they get four stars just for refilling my water multiple times! Talk about buffet service. On to the food...

They had over 5 different types of dumplings. All were really good. Especially the shrimp ones in the rice paper.

Lots of shrimp dishes in general. Good Singapore rice noodles. Good crab cakes in actual crab bodies. Good sesame chicken. Good lo mein.

The prices aren't so bad for a Chinese buffet either. If you are about and want to ruin a whole week's worth of workouts or you're boyfriend just broke up with you, this is the place for you.

Best Chinese buffet in S Florida. Love the sticky rice in lotus leaf, it's the best!

*Sighs*
Ugh. This place was disgusting. The decor was cheap. The smell was putrid. The food...good lord I rather eat cat food. The bathroom...death trap. The customer service.. It was okay but the hospitality wasn't memorable. Never...ever again.

I like the dim sum there and go weekly. New menu contains more authentic Chinese items like rice noodle

...meh! nothing special. A below average chinese buffet. I wish it has more special items than other chinese buffet. The price is decent. The service is okay. I don't think I would go back again.
