!!!WARNING!!! Asked to pay in adance. DONT RISK IT! Im an international foodie with an iron stomach, not a petty customer out for revenge. Food does not appear safe. What items I did try did not taste safe. The eggrolls only contain cabbage and nothing else. Other patrons were voicing concerns. The sushi tasted of canned tuna. The cold buffet line had art for sale in it. The blinds are closed. The music needs to be oriental. Ambiance is sad/depressing. But theres merch available. I do not feel good. I feel sick. read more

New China Buffet and Grill - Chinese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I literally got food poisoning because of this place. The price is honestly crazy for the options of food there is. There's a lack of variety of food for the price we paid. We were tourist celebrating a birthday and it's just so upsetting to get food poisoning. The food was not it. Service was ok? The lady took my plate without me finishing it probably because she knew it was expired or something. I would never come back. read more

I'm not sure why this place is rated so poorly. The food was quite good for buffet food. Almost everything I tried was good. There were a few things that weren't perfect, but that's par for the course at a buffet. The service was very friendly and on top of things. As for the food, the cheese Rangoon was a little sweeter than I like, and my son (who is a sushi fiend) said he didn't like the sushi at all. I did like the sushi I had, though, and my daughter liked the sushi she had. The rice was exceptionally good. I believe it was jasmine rice and had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The mushrooms and fried potatoes were excellent. My husband loved his pepper steak. My kids loved the fried rice and said the sweet and sour chicken was awesome. My husband was disappointed they didn't have strawberry cake like they have at most Asian buffets since that's his favorite, but they did have the coffee-flavored cake that my kids and I love. My husband got the cookies and cream cake and said it was very dry. I found the salad bar a little lacking. Would have loved to see a few more options like tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, etc. But what was there was fresh. The fruit was very good quality. I had three orange wedges and they were delicious. Overall, it was a very solid experience. There will always be some ups and downs on a buffet, but for us there were significantly more ups here than downs. We would definitely come back. read more

No! Don't do it! DO NOT DO IT! The people are very nice and the ambience is standard Chinese Buffett, but the food.... This is the worst Asian Buffett I have ever eaten! Hot not hot, cold not cold, stale and old or undercooked are your only choices. I don't even know what kind of meat were the ribs! To top it off, the damn fortune cookies were advertisements for freaking credit cards! If I could give a zero I'd give it a negative one! DON'T DO IT! read more

The food was really good, Got here right when they started dinner, everything fresh & taste great read more

New China Buffet and Grill - Four happy customers, I kind you not!! Great prices and great food!! Worth the drive from downtown Chattanooga. - Chinese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The food was absolutely terrible cold hard old rotten tasting food! The drinks tasted like mold the staff were all very very rude the absolute worst place i have ever eaten at! I never give reviews but this one deserves everything bad review they had and will get. In the words of my 5 year old "yuk everything was hard and nasty" please do not waste your money on this place. read more

I went there the first time for lunch, food didn't taste good. No seasonings and everything was plain. I had to spit a few things out because it tasted like chemicals or it tasted very old. This has to be the worst buffet I've ever been to. The service was good and they were friendly. The ambiance was empty not a lot of people go there for a reason. read more

It's good or I wouldn't go back, I even took a picture ..friendly, atmosphere comfortable for all ages read more

Food was delicious and a perfect temperature. Great selection and actually had flavor. Staff was friendly and attentive. Only thing I didn't like was Pepsi only option. read more

Wasted potential. All of the sauces are great. BUT what they called chicken is not chicken. No idea what it is. Could be styrofoam, cat tendens, ground up mice... who knows but is foul and unfit for human consumption. We spit it out in our napkins and threw it away. Do better. Get actual breast meat chicken for for human consumption. read more

Worst place i have ever been. Me and my friends stopped here on the way home from nashville and we regret it terribly. At first glance the food looks decent but upon further inspection, it is actually disgusting. The soup was so gross and the chicken tasted like rubber. I was scared to even taste the sushi. Even the cheese wonton things were nasty. It also cost $11 for unedible food. We ended up going across the street to jacks. Do NOT come here read more

Ate there tonight on a business trip. Really bad food. I wish I had read the reviews before I went. I could have eaten at Jack in the Box. Pitiful food. Food had been there a longgggg time. The only good thing was the sweet tea. Plus, the fortune cookie I received was stale. How does that happen...... Geez........... read more

Pleasantly surprised. Very good selection of menu items, hot, fresh and clean environment. The service was very good as well. You pay as you walk in the door, no pressure or expectation for an added gratuity. Dinner was $10.99. Well worth it. read more

Absolutely disgusting! If zero stars was an available option that's what I would have chosen! The egg drop soup had a strange taste, the few meat/chicken choices we tried had odd textures and tastes. I didn't like anything that I tried! We regret going here for a late lunch for sure!! I know adults tend to be much more critical of food than kids, however my 3 children disliked the food as well and they love these types of restaurants!! They liked the ice cream and that was about it!! I would not recommend this place to anyone. The China Inn Buffet in Kimball,TN is 10 times better!!! Editing my review to add- my family all had cramps and diarrhea the following day. read more

Passing through due to work. My fiancé an I are truck drivers an our companies home terminal is here. We absolutely LOVE Chinese. Especially some good sushi. We saw they were doing takeout for $5 per lb so we decided to give it a try. Hands down the NASTIEST Chinese I have EVER had. Due to COVID-19 everything was takeout only. So we walk through the line letting them know what we wanted. Just looking at the foods I could tell most of it had been sitting for some time. The mushrooms didn't even look right. Looked as if they were sitting in a pool of water instead of the usual sauce. Both my fiancé an I are incredibly disgusted by the food we took home tonight. We even got sushi (quite a bit) an all of it was nasty. Completely unbearable we threw it all out. Everything. Will never come back here again. Do NIT recommend even giving them try. read more

Somewhat disappointed. Soup was not hot and most entrees seemed to be left over from lunch. Must say cookies n cream ice cream was excellent! read more

Pretty good Food. Only one in Tennessee I found well worth a return too. Good selection.

The food there is always fresh and hot. In fact, the first thing you notice when walking in regardless of the time of day is that all the trays have steam rising up from them. Best Chinese Buffett closest to downtown chattanooga being just 10 minutes away around the river. read more

New China Buffet and Grill - Desert is very good here as well! - Chinese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We ventured here after arriving to our favorite restaurant down the street and it was closed an hour early. It was 8pm and we were extremely hungry so we decided to give new China a try. We regretted the decision as soon as we went to the buffet. The food were all sitting in a bed of grease and looked like it has been under the heating lamp for hours without anyone touching it. I'm usually a sucker for crab legs but i was scared to try these. They only had a few tiny legs soaking in water that did not look appetizing. The fiancé and i both grabbed a plate and i ate a quarter of mine, while also having to spit things out because they were too chewy/ not editable. When my fiancé tried the fried zucchini, i could hear him crunch down on it, and not the good crunch. It took him a good minute to chew it down. The only think we enjoyed here was their pudding, fresh cut fruit, and ice cream. Overall, our server was nice, but she handed my fiancé a coke, and it had a fortune stuck to the top rim of the cup. How does that happen people!? Did she not look at the cup while filling the drinks. Any who, worse Chinese/food I've eaten in a while. It cost us $10.99 a person. We will not be back. I would have been happier with A burrito from Taco Bell. read more

First off, this restaurant is really expensive. We went as a group of three and left paying $36. The selection was very little. Does not have crab legs and little amount of seafood. Food was lukewarm and not good. Servers were nice, but didn't come by too much. read more

My and my grandparents were looking for a place to eat after a 6 hour drive from Florida and the food choice was ok but the food tasted horrible and tasted like it had been sitting there for hours the shrimp was chewy and wasn't fresh lacking most healthy options other than broccoli the waiter seemed ok the fortune cookies they give you at the end are old and taste like card board Me and my family will never ever come back here if we are in the area ever again! read more

Really bad soup. Just picked up 3 quarts of soup. 2 egg drop and 1 wonton. Neither my husband nor I could eat it. First of all its orange and I'm afraid to know why, its bland and it has so much vinegar or something tangy in it that it doesn't even taste like egg drop soup. However, the fried noodles were fresh and the dumplings in the wonton was actually pretty good. I've had their buffet before and as I recall it was pretty good but tonight I'm only rating the soup. read more

We ordered off the menu and not the buffet. We traded plates several times thinking we had the wrong food placed in front of us. Eventually we decided they had correctly placed them. One was a spicy dish, the other was a non-spicy. We could barely taste any difference in the spice level. Being new to the area, we hadn't tried this place. Now we know better to ever return. Good luck with the buffet, if you're a buffet person. read more

This is the only place to eat in Lookout Valley. Seriously. We looked up places for dinner near our hotel on Yelp and there were 2 with reviews: one was abandoned and the other looked like a strip club. We found the China Buffet and decided this was the safest bet. It's a pretty typical Chinese buffet, although it does have more options than a lot that I've tried. I guess when you're the only restaurant in town, you've got to be tasty. The buffet was a little pricy, but the drinks are cheap and the food is good. I really just wanted to review this so people staying in the area will know that there is a better option than the other reviews on here. read more

It's a China Buffet. Typical from my experiences elsewhere. Sushi was kind of lame...but to get good sushi...you probably need to go to a sushi place. read more

This such a gross place. So after family and I were done eating we need to go to the restrooms before we left. I went in with my 4 and 5 year old and ask I was helping then go potty I saw mice poop in a pile in the bathroom we were in. I decided to check other and it was the same. Even under the sink. I feel sick to my stomach. I don't want to imagine what the kitchen is like . read more

New China Buffet and Grill - a group of birds on the floor - Chinese Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Late lunch and was surprised at how most of the dishes looked fresh. I didn't like the chicken & broccoli or the egg rolls. But I will go back just for the Kung Pao chicken - very tender and not too spicy. I rarely see this dish on a buffet. The sushi selection is small. They do have a Mongolian grill, but I didn't try it this time. I am rethinking the 4 stars after I went to the bathroom - women's was I very poor condition. read more

I was in town for ruby falls/rock city for the night. Great quality for the food. Crab legs included in the dinner price. Fresh hot food. The fruit bar is fresh and nice. Waiter service is excellent and friendly. read more

We came on Sunday around 1. Apparently popular with the after church crowd. Food was fresh and plentiful. Velvet has the fresh cooked vegetables. She was happy with it. Well cooked and they deliver it to the table. I had some of a lot of things. Most I liked. If you don't like something don't eat it. Get something else. Great! read more

Great tasting food. Best Chinese buffet that we have ever dined in. Wonderful variety. Each distinctive instead of everything tasting the same. Loved the coconut shrimp, chicken lo mein read more

Great selection of food on the buffet and all that I had tasted fresh. Not super crowded but had a steady stream of customers. Fresh fruit, adequate salad bar and plenty of desserts plus the main selection of entrees and sides. Definitely worth the stop! Plus serve yourself Mayfield ice cream is with the stop. read more

I'm usually into any sort of Chinese food, especially buffets, but New China was mediocre at best. Skip the sushi (it's all fried) and the seafood (this was definitely on me; don't trust oysters at a $9 buffet). It's an inexpensive spot to stop at if you're visiting Lookout Mountain, and the various options, albeit limited, aren't bad. read more

was very tired from road trip.. went in and ordered shrimp broccoli. Went back to hotel .. started to eat it . shrimp started to taste like they contained soap. did not taste right ... so went back with the shrimp broccoli in tow. .. told them about it .. they didnt offer anything except say that it was a different kind of sauce as I told them this doesnt taste anything like the shrimp broccoli we get in Tampa. Since my wife and I had ate about half of it i told them i didnt need to have my money back, just wanted to tell them. i left and then decided i would leave the shrimp broccoli with them.. told them i didnt want to deal with it . the cashier offered to give me half my money back.. I said no thanks... i left them with the shrimp broccoli where the shrimp tastes like soap. I would not recommend this restaurant. they should have offered the money back on the first encounter .. but they denied that i had an issue.. poor customer service. i would not recommend this place to anyone read more

I agree with other reviewers that the food is lukewarm and clearly has been sitting. A lot of things were a bit dried out, etc. Oh and some of the crab legs my friend had were slimy on the outside. Standard dishes similar to every other Chinese buffet I've been to, but the food quality of this one is low. I wouldn't eat here again that's for sure. read more

The food looked dry and gross. I put some noodles on my plate, tried them with 2 bites, stopped eating. Told the waitress my daughter and myself didnt eat except for bites of noodles. She got her manager and decided to charge me the kid price of $7.99. I asked for $7.99 worth of food.. didnt get that. Terrible food and employees! read more

$12 for a mediocre selection. Completely not worth it. A lot of the food looked weird but what I did have was good. Like I said though definitely not worth the price. read more

Not that great. Not much to choose from. Not enough veggies offered on bar. Some foods looks as though they been sitting out too long. Don't think we will visit again in future. read more

Typical Chinese buffet. I went on a Friday night and there were only about 20 people in there. Service was fast and the price was average for one of these buffets. The food was not bad. Not good, but not bad. I was a little sick the next day. Probably something I ate here. I can't say what it was because I ate a little of everything. read more

Went at 915 pm on a Friday. It was slow and half the food was warm and the others was hot. 2 adults and 2 3 yr olds Cost $30. We all got full not the best but it was good. Would of been better if all was hot. read more

What you should expect for a Chinese buffet near a Walmart. It's worth it though. I would go back for a quick fix of Chinese buffe
