We have passed this place dozens of times, but never thought to stop in. A quick review of the yelp-a-verse convinced us to give it a try. The family owned place is clean, spacious, and the owners and serving staff are warm and friendly. The buffet was fulsome, and all of the food was well presented, hot, and remarkably delicious. The overstuffed wontons that I ladled into my soup were especially noteworthy. Highly recommended for a Chinese buffet with excellent Cantonese style staples. read more

New China Buffet - Menú - Chinese Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

See all

I ran a delivery route in Fernandina about 20 years ago and ate here about once a week. I remember it being pretty good and I was a fan of anything AYCE back then. During Covid they went to take out only and stayed that way until a couple of months ago. There was a big write up in the local news that they were finally opening to the public again and would resume the buffet. My buddy and I were on the island so I mentioned we should check it out. The food on the bar was all fresh, this was a little surprising as it was 2:30 in the afternoon. There were more people than I expected also, maybe 10 or 12 people. What I have begun to notice is that chinese buffets are not the big deal to me that they once were. I would rather have one dish that is really good as opposed to as much as I wanted that was just OK. They did have egg fu yung, not every buffet will take the chance to do this as it gets cold quickly. They limited how much was on the buffet and this kept it fresh. Pecan chicken was probably the best item. It looked like coconut shrimp but I saw it was not and tried it anyway. It was very good. Our drinks were not refilled regularly and we waited far to long for a bill, only to be told that they don't do that, just go to the counter and pay. They do have a full menu and the buffet is only open for lunch. This is a bit misleading and they might consider changing the name. read more

New China Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

We found this place from google reviews while we were looking for Chinese food in the area and it did not disappoint! The food was SO good (we went for dinner so unfortunately missed the buffet but stayed and ordered from the menu). Portions are HUGE. Service was FANTASTIC! Our lady was so friendly to us and everyone around/that came through the door. The place looked clean and well kept. Don't judge a restaurant by its cover- this is truly a great place to visit! read more

Very good selection at buffet. The shrimps were huge! Service was on point! The dishes were hot and fresh. Very clean place. We enjoyed our experience. read more

Receive five stars not because the food was anything amazing it is standard Chinese buffet. However, the owner is so delightful and engaging. She knew almost everyone in the restaurant by name and their children. She came over to our table and asked us if we just moved there. It would be enjoy our meal. I told us that she had been in business for 26 years. What a lovely lady and well worth your money on a nice meal read more

We have had "take out" from here for several years and I liked it; the last two times though I had to question the meat. My chicken was like soft, spongy strips of something?!? The veggies and the sauce were tasty but thick. My guess would be the meat was coated in cornstarch. I asked on the way out and he said yes, meat seasoned then coated in cornstarch before frying. This then makes the sauce thick and clumpy, the meat soft and spongy. They were closed for Covid and then opened for take out only. About a month ago they started a lunch buffet and though they advertised "eat in", you get your order as a take out and they bring you a plate and silverware...and I was ok with that but not the coated meat. The staff was running around like crazy and friendly but the way they cook their meat changed. read more

New China Buffet - Triple in garlic sauce - Chinese Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

This place is the closest I have come to a Chinese restaurant that I am use too. The food is decent and the menu has the normal stuff. Some things are slightly different from what i am use to but that's just me. For instance the wonton soup has no shredded pork or green onions. It's good but tastes slightly different. I thought their fried rice was pretty good. They make these fried dough balls that are sprinkled with sugar as a desert. Those are excellent. I don't go there every week but when I want Chinese I go there. read more

The shrimp egg roll literally gushed out grease, and it only had ONE shrimp in the SHRIMP EGGROLL..my bad, It wasn't called shrimps egg roll, so they got one shrimp in the egg roll. Wonton soup was luke warm which isn't on them its on door dash, guess they're driver couldn't keep the food warm with that cigarette hanging out his mouth, should have held it closer to the food. The Wontons were doughy and very little filling. I won't be ordering from them again. Might update since I bought a plate I could heat up tomorrow....not sure it's worth the electricity to heat it up. Update-wasted the electricity to heat up general tso's chicken. It's marked as spicy it was pure sweet sauce, no heat at all. Was grossed out by the whole meal, fried rice looked old, and after the 1 shrimp eggroll yesterday, I didn't even want to stomach the other eggroll I purchased. Meal dumped in the trash. This literally is the worst food I've eaten in the area by far. read more

The food was excellent. I highly recommend. The buffet had a large variety of tasty dishes.

I ate at the lunch buffet. Everything tasted great. Specifically, I had the fried rice, spicy chicken and mushrooms, green beans, generals chicken, sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoons and egg drop soup. The owners were there talking with everyone and are just amazing people. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to eat lunch. read more

We've been enjoying delicious take-out meals from here for over 5 years since they were only doing takeout since the pandemic. Today we were thrilled to step inside the restaurant and enjoy their extensive and tasty buffet. We couldn't be happier to wish Jen and Jack much success and a big thank you for taking this next big step. We, your customers, appreciate you. ~ Patsy read more

This is a hidden gem. The exterior of the restaurant does not tip you off that this is one of the finest-tasting Chinese restaurants you will ever try! I don't like to take home leftovers, as a rule, but that rule is out the window with this place! read more

Food was typical Asian food. Carry out done its job. Would go back but need to try other venues also

The food was hot tasty and fresh, the service was excellent. They were always asking if everything was OK willing to refill your water bust your plates. Everything on the bar stayed filled. It's kind of a small buffet, but it's still worth the time, if I lived closer, I'd definitely be coming back but when I'm in the area, I plan on stopping by again read more

Had lunch here today. Not a BAD experience. On par with any other asian/chinese buffet. Sweet tea was decent. Chicken was chicken, mei fun was tasty. $16.95 for 1 lunch buffet and a drink is ridiculous, though. No sushi. No seafood of any kind I saw (crab legs, scallops, ousters, etc). Save your money and get take out from china one or some such. Restaurant is quiet and staff is friendly, I do have to say. read more

Food was delicious and had a variety to choose from. Very clean restaurant. Dining alone was relaxing and was a quick stay. Quiet atmosphere

This buffet is top notch! In their new location the quality of the food is met with clean and fresh decor. They have a sushi bar and teppanyaki (hibachi) station. At the Hibachi station you get to pick the fresh raw ingredients you'd like seared on the griddle and a choice of four different sauces. As a pescatarian this makes me very happy. There is a full salad bar, kids items like pizza and fried chicken, soups, fruit salad, desserts, and tons of main entree choices. The flavor, freshness and variety for very decent pricing means everyone will get their fill. That also means there might be a wait for a table, but they move the line along rather well, considering. If you don't have time to wait there's also the option to fill a box or two of take out and pay per pound, also a reasonable price. I can't wait to go back! read more

Food was great. Service was fantastic. So polite. And they were incredibly helpful when it came to a peanut allergy in our group. Thanks. read more

They are back with the buffet! It is as good as was five years ago. Food was fresh and service was excellent!

Service and food were both excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner and have leftovers for another two meals. Portions were very large, hot and fresh. Currently still in Covid mode, but were told they will eventually reopen their buffet after their children start school. We will definitely order from New China again! read more

The amount of disrespect when he talks to his customers is crazy. He calls people buddy. Needs an attitude adjustment. Every where else it's sir and ma'am. read more

The dining area is closed but they have a walk up window to order food. If I wanted carry out I'd of went elsewhere. If they can't properly open the dining room then forget it. read more

We are new to the neighborhood and called in a take-out order to Jen who was super friendly, patient and accommodating! We ordered two Triple Hunan. The meals had three meats, Beef, Pork and Chicken which were delicious in the tangy sauce . The portion size was large with a nice assortment of freshly cooked crisp vegetables! My husband upgraded to plain fried rice for a small up charge from the included white rice and enjoyed it with the main course. If you're in the mood for Chinese food, you won't be disappointed getting takeout from New China Buffet. We'll definitely go back again! read more

Give this place a try. Lots of good food and good price. Service was just enough. Try the pecan chicken

I was wary because of all the lights out on the sign, typically a signal of the owners waning interest, but once inside I realized that was not the case. The food was great, and the service over the top. Must remember to come back! read more

Ummmm NOT so much! $8.35 for adults $1.55 for drink. $4.99 for 4, 5 & 6 yr old babies plus $1.55 drink. Yikes!! Basically $50 for a mediocre lunch. A small buffet with more chicken than anything else. Wasn't too impressed on any level! read more

I'm finally in Fernandina Beach and we decided to try China Buffet. I had some bad vibes coming in and asked to look around. It was almost empty for the lunch buffet. I noticed that the dishes did not look fresh. The protein dishes seemed to be all chicken with breading and sauces. I was not impressed with the variety. Thee were 4 flavors of scoop it yourself ice-cream -- all virtually empty, It was evident that business was very show and the dishes offered did not contain Asian vegetables. I will be passing. read more
