We ordered two combo's from this place, must say it wasn't very good. The rice was the worst rice I have ever eaten. The sweet and sour pork tasted old and stale. Just bad all around. We will never order from here again, just really did not enjoy the food.
I thought it would be funny to try out this other chinese buffet with girlfriend K after the horrifying experience at Urban buffet on v-day. Expecting none the better, we weren't there for good food - we were there to satisfy our curiousity.
It was the same price - $13.95. The restaurant is much older looking, but still housed quite a number of tables. It was nice to see majority of the tables were occupied, unlike Urban buffet. It was a little bit weird to see Caucasian servers at a chinese buffet. My only real beef about the service is that they only give you 1 thin napkin for your meal. They serve crab and only give you 1 napkin??
There was much more variety in food here - salad bar, 3 kinds of soup, shrimp puffs, crab, mussels, squid, sticky chicken rice wrap, lettuce wraps, gyozas, noodles, rice, veggies. They even have tubs of hard-serve ice cream instead of the cheap soft serve!
They take care with minor details that make a difference. For example, the lettuce for the salad is soaked in cold water to remain crisp. This makes a wet salad, but at least it stays fresh and crispy.
I would return for another visit, I'm still full from thinking about the dinner last night.
I went to the New China Kitchen twice. After the first time, I promised myself that I would never go back there. That was a few months ago. Today, I decided to give it another shot. The result was exactly the same: I promised myself (again!) that I will never go back. It is not that the food is awful: it is OK if you are hungry and want to fill yourself up for 10 bucks. However, the buffet dishes are indescribable and bland. The service is minimal (as in most buffet places) and the ambiance is even worse than the food: the place resembles a community hall. One look at the patrons devouring huge plates of food and you will know what kind of restaurant you find yourself in.
I placed an order online and called 10 mins later to confirm as it states online. A very, rude, loud-mouthed woman answered the phone, told me she didn't know what I was talking about. Told me she didn't know how to receive a fax and kept repeating that even though I told her repeatedly I was NOT talking about a fax. I explained I ordered it online and in response she asked incredulously "You mean a COMPUTER?" I again attempted to explain to no avail. I asked to speak to the owner. He answered and I explained to him that the woman was extremely rude, that I was trying to confirm my order that I placed online was again told she had no idea what a fax was. I told him I was talking about the online order system, that she was incredibly rude and his response was only "So you don't want the order?" I said "Yes, I want the order." He then tells me they have no delivery driver.
This isn't just lack of customer service it's lack of service altogether. I'd rather support one of the other two restaurants in the area then send business to these people and will not be suggesting them to anyone!
Ihave gone to this buffet diner many times over the years and today it seemed better. Naturally you can eat as much food as you want for under $ 10.00 at lunch but Dinner will cost you more. They have lots of selections and today my server must have filled my water glass at leat four times which was a first. The food is average but it is a great place to eat if you are in a hurry as you don't have to wait for your food to be cooked.
After having driven by this place for years and hearing from a few friends that the place was worth a try, my SO & I took a chance recently.
We will not return.
Chicken dishes are full of broken bones... Many of the dishes were 'luke-warm'. What we ate basically all tasted the same; the Singapore noodle was the only bright spot.
True, this is all you can eat - so might be a good value for the budget conscious... but getting sick from under-temperature food or choking on a chicken bone aught to outweigh the attraction of eating this gruel.
I shall continue the search for a decent chinese buffet in the lower mainland.
the food is just okay and it really all tastes the same, but if you are on a budget with a big appetite you can stuff yourself silly. the deep fried prawns are reaaly quite nice [ if you can get any] as well as the wonton soup and black bean sauce chicken..it is worth a try
Our last dining experience at this restaurant will definitely be our last. The buffet spread always appears to have an overwhelming variety -- you caome in and it's "wow, look at all the food", but from our experiences there, one soon finds out that most everything tastes much the same!! It's a rather stunning display of variety -- just wish more of the food that's offered had some real taste and flavour!!
Poor quality and preparation, and highly-overpriced.
