Always have friendly staff, tables and buffet bar are always clean ( as are the rest rooms! ). Wide selection of food on the buffet and it's all delicious. Definitely a deal for the price.

Always good fresh oysters and clams and baby octopus and fish I don't get to see their very often but when I do it's my place to go in Boone

Service was good. Food was good, but not labeled above food on glass covering the buffet bar. It tore my stomach up that night and the first part of next day. Hoping it was just a one-time incident.

For $12 can't complain, is not a fancy buffet, food was good enough, I've been in worst buffets, waitress syay by table waiting for tip, was odd, cultural differences.
Paul Henry
Have ate there quite a few times. Guess it's ok for buffet style; however quality of foodis going down and of course prices are goingup. Honestly don't think I will be going back!
Brian Fields
Good food and selection but food was cold on this visit due to the warming system was not turned on early enough to heat the water that maintains the food temperature out of the kitchen.
The Einsight
Terrible experience, our server would stand by our table and when we would get up and try to get food she would stand right in the middle of the walkway (causing us to bump into her). And then twenty minutes into service she slammed the check on the table “Pay for check” the waitress told us. Then two minutes later she came back with receipt. I put the change in my pocket me and my family got up to leave. She replied “No tip?” I responded “No” She then ran in front of us and then proceeded to block the exit, preventing us from leaving. Then I stated “Please move out of the way I would like to leave” she finally moved over for me and my family to leave.
The Fam
This place is definitely a “go-to” when we are craving Chinese food nearby, but every time we leave, we say we won’t go back. The food is “ok”, typical menu items on the buffet. Just hard to find a buffet anywhere that offers vegetarian items. Sometimes they will have a mixed vegetable dish on the bar, and recently they’ve been putting bean curd with mushrooms on the bar.We usually end up having to pick out some bean curd and then pick out broccoli from the chicken and broccoli pan. Shake off all the chicken morsels.Lo mein and fried rice /steamed rice are always available.Good service, servers are friendly enough. Ok pricing I guess. Like everything else, prices have gone up, so I think lunch during weekdays is now around $9 w/o a drink.Restaurant really needs updating though, BAD. Exterior and interior. Bathrooms have a smell that never goes away. Supplies are piled on the overflow waiting area. Windows seem to always have smudge marks at the entrance areas.Boone just doesn’t offer any other buffet places and New China is open when most other places are closed -for bad weather, holidays, etc, so cudos for that availability.

Nice people, reasonable prices, meh food.Their buffet allows you to choose your preferred dishes and portion size, and for carry out, they'll allow you to fill your box from the buffet yourself.

Absolutely the WORST food I have ever had. Both my son and I had stomach issues within an hour. Stay away. There are other Chinese food options in Boone. Do Not go here.
Great food and service! Came here to eat about 2PM and figured it would be colder food and slimmer pickings but everything was great!

When the fresh food came to buffet. It was delicious. Two ladies ran the whole floor. Drinks was always filled up. Empty Plates took off the table. They worked extremely fast and friendly. They got tip well!
Dalton Mann
Some how, everything tasted like nothing. It was a beige nightmare. However, not the worst place I’ve ever eaten at. 2/5 edible….

This buffet offered everything you would expect from a typical Chinese buffet. The food was good and the service was good. One thing to improve was the restroom because it was dirty but other than that everything was fine.

The food here is great and filling. It's the best Chinese food in Boone and the environment is nice. However, the service is lacking. For one thing, I always have to wait a long time to be given a table, even when I'm plainly standing in full view and it's obvious I need to be seated. Why we can't just sit ourselves I don't know. I get that they can be busy so this isn't really an issue, however the second problem I will address very much is.They are aggressive about you giving them tips. Twice now, after paying my bill, which, by the way, is more expensive than it was in the recent past, and with less items available at the buffet, the servers have said to me loudly and in my face "No tip?" and coerced me into giving them more money after an already high bill. Keep in mind I am a student living in a pandemic price world, I have two jobs I have to drive to daily, which costs a lot in gas, and I have to ration every penny. I have never had tips demanded of me and without any attempt at being subtle. It's very rude and off putting. I won't be coming back here for a while. It's a shame since this place has great food.
