Also got teriyaki chicken that also cane with fried rice and an egg roll. Last but not least got the house special lo mein that had with pork, chicken and shrimp (SO GOOD) that came with fried rice and an egg roll. We loved our food and it cane out pretty quickly. The guy who took our order was really nice. This place is kinda old but has inside seating. You can either eat in or take out!

Actually, I stumbled on this restaurant because the hours on the other restaurants in downtown…read moreBemidji were not open till 4pm or 5pm. And New China was open at 3pm perhaps even the hours were 11am-8??! I think. For $10.49 I ordered House Special Lo Mein and Kevin out front was nice, he expressed that the chow mein is not the soft noodle kind and he showed me what Lo Mein looked like and I really like that because he did not want me to order the wrong noodles which I totally appreciated. My meal was awesome, he even had chili oil and when I asked for chopsticks, he had some handy. Not at the front though, but you can certainly ask for some. The place is not entirely fancy and it's casual but I sat at the restaurant and for a Tuesday, it wasn't super packed but a couple of folks waited for their food to go. The egg roll was actually really good than most places I've ordered from. Lots of free parking out front and surrounding areas in downtown. It's a quaint small but lovely and friendly town. No complaints here. I almost devoured my food due to a long day! I don't live in the area but appreciate New China for cooking delicious Chinese food. So good I saved for the next day for dinner. Also, Kevin was super cool, he gave me 3 fortunes cookies with my meal!

I had written this review but never got around to posting it. I went here back in September of…read more2025. Service was hard at first. We had a big group of 12 and we weren't sure if we needed to get a table first and then pay, or how it worked. And the servers didn't understand what we were trying to ask. The buffet had limited selection of food, which some of was okay. My favorites were the egg drop soup, cream cheese ragoon and green beans. The desserts were also okay. It's definitely a place if you want to stuff up on a lot of food at an okay price.

Update: Still very very flavorful food for a Chinese buffet,…read moretypical items but tasty. Fried chicken wings are very good. Still not using as much ginger in them which is great for us. Just a hint. Fried fish, I can't ever get enough of it, absolutely one of my favorites. well worked and constantly cleaned and filled and best thing of all hot. Salads and deserts still fresh. Drinks are still included in buffet as well as a soft serve machine. Also white and the best chocolate milk available as well. We come here at least twice a month now for the last year and still consistently good food every time. Still our heavy to go place for Chinese if you're looking for an assortment. Bathrooms are always clean, as well as the buffet area. Plates are cleared quickly off the tables. They also offer a menu as well. Yessss we love this place still.

Well, well, well, what a day it was. Been 6 years since we last visited. We figured we would give…read moreit another try and see if it has improved and boy they did not disappoint. What's different being seated was they use to have bottled hot sauces on the table which are no longer there, they don't even have them to ask for, but they do have a hotter salsa for a $2 charge. Yes it was tasty and yes it was hot but not sure I will pay $2 for it again I will just bring my bottle of hot sauce I usually carry in the car and put it in their regular salsa. Only needs more heat for us flavor was good it has cilantro but doesn't overwhelm it. The complimentary chips were warm and really thin, wonderful. We ordered enchilada platters, I ordered three cheese and was so pleasantly surprised I didn't have to cut red sauce and add queso it was already on it.. plus.. plus.. I substituted the beans for another rice and they did... the cheese enchiladas were so good and filled with a cheese blend so flavorful, the rice was presented so pretty on the plate not in the usual pile, and so very, very good, finally I can say that the rice would be like their grandma would prepare at home with love. Best plates of Mexican food we have had anywhere even from down south with the exception of Pedro's in Duluth. Hubby ordered all beef enchiladas his had queso on top as well, he said it was wonderful full of ground beef seasoned perfectly with onions and bell peppers, he had beans and rice, beans were very good, I wish I would have gotten them now too, they were not just watery goop on the plate they where actual refried chunky beans with flavor. Very friendly waiter quick to be seated, received our drinks took orders and within 15 minutes had our food, we even got drink refills without asking. I hope this is an example of how it is every day because we are excited to go back.

I've been there several times in the past couple of years. It's never been super authentic food,…read morebut it's always been decent and the service has been good. Today's visit was a letdown on both fronts: service and food. The service was cold and slow, without the place being crowded as we beat the lunch rush. The food? If you like bland food that was lukewarm-to-cold, then you'd love it. I prefer food with some flavor, and I'm very sorry to say today's meals had no flavor. On top of that, the portion sizes have shrunk. I ordered a burrito and it was the size of a taco at most places. I can't see a reason to go back unless I hear things have changed.

Stopped in for lunch on the way to Bemidji. Three miles off of 71. Burgers, sandwiches and a salad…read morebar (pickled herring!). The atmosphere was nice and laid back with the usual north woods decor. Started with the salad bar because I was tempted by the Hungarian mushroom soup. It was rich, creamy and a bit spicy. Loved it! My burger came on a pretzel bun and it was also amazing. Knocking down to 4 stars because my husband said his Reuben was a bit dry. Will come back to try the Philly cheesesteak which was recommended by the locals.
