Better than expected. It really is a surprise to find any decent food around here. New China is one…read moreof the few Chinese options in Streator. Has a lot of basic items. They also have a few vegetarian ones such as tofu. After heading north along the main road, we stopped in. It wasn't busy even at lunch. That could have been a bad sign. Has most of the typical Chinese American items. We got the Mongolian Tofu. It's about $8 for a lot. This came with not quite crispy tofu. It still had good flavor. The vegetables were mostly onions and peppers. Good amount for the price because you get a lot. It used to have a buffet, but it doesn't seem to anymore so it's just the regular menu. The food may be pretty average, but there's a few good things for vegans and vegetarians.

The daily specials are great for trying something that you may not already be familiar with. General Tso, Sweet-sour, Lo Mein, the staples have all been great. The shrimp dinner had an amazing number of shrimp, I was really surprised. Tonight, I'll be sure to get an extra cocktail sauce serving. I'm frequently in Streator and New China has become a go to for Chinese take-out -- also handy when you're looking for some left-overs for breakfast. The egg rolls have become a mandory appetizer. The service is realiable and the orders have been dependably filled to spec. The menu a wide. This is not fine dining, strictly takeout, but there's plenty of parking and it's accessable off the west side of Bloomington Street on the north side of Streator. Adding on that I've only been here through the pandemic, so I'm not sure what the "regular" restaurant is like... this is only for take out.

The food here is pretty good as far as what I want from a Chinese buffet, so I've become somewhat…read moreof a regular at the place; however, a recent experience may change that now. After my most recent visit, one of the two newer waitresses they've hired wrote in her own tip onto my receipt after I left, overdrafting my checking account. I try to leave tips when I can, but I often toe the line of not having enough money in my account so it isn't always an option. It was a small amount as if they were hoping I wouldn't notice, but it's still theft and fraud. I'd be very careful paying with credit/debit there. I'll be paying with cash from now on, if I ever even go back at this point. This was one of my favorite places to eat in Streator, but I won't be returning if I can't trust the staff to not commit felonies. Simple as that.

Let me state that I have been eating here since they opened, around 2013-2014 perhaps. Everything has stayed consistent, including the pricing, and that's been impressive. When you walk in, you have the option of ordering from the menu or doing the buffet and let me tell you- get the buffet. If you can cook at all, you will enjoy yourself here. You'll get your soft drink, then it's off you go to build your masterpiece. Five separate buffets with two side stations, there's a lot to process. There's two small stations, one for fried rice and one for ice cream. There's a cold bar in the back which features some salad items and desserts, and one buffet table full of ready to eat apps and foods with some soups offered. I did giggle that the one says "eggg dorp soup". It's what you'd expect at any Chinese buffet. Then we get to the good stuff- the hibachi stuff. You have three bars for hibachi: your noodles and veggies, your meats, and your sauce ingredients. You get a bowl and load it up with your choice of noodles and veggies, there are so many options. Tofu, egg, zucchini, baby corns, broccoli, water chestnuts, sprouts... I can't get enough color! Then you move over to the meat buffet, where you select your raw cuts and place the pieces in your bowl. I typically do the beef and shrimp, always good quality. You'll bring your bowl to the hibachi grill and set it on the counter so they can start cooking it. You'll go make your sauce at this point, which is where it could get overwhelming if you don't know flavors well. There are probably 20 sauces to mix and about 25 seasonings and the likes to add flavor, so there's a lot of room for creation with your sauce! You'll bring it up to the hibachi again when you're done, and they'll plate your order and bring it to you if needed. For $10.99 a person, what a stellar deal. So much fresh produce and variety from a family owned business, it's a staple in the Illinois Valley. Although I've moved to another state at this point, this is the one restaurant I haven't seen done this well and one I miss whole heartedly. I visited the IV from Florida recently and ensured I ate there several times because I just can't get enough of the great service and incredible food. If you haven't eaten here yet, you're missing out. Stop by today and build yourself the meal you deserve.
