New China Garden (Grand Buffet)

Its not grand looking, and its sign says closed till January 31. Its Feb. 7th 2021 when I drove 24 min to try it out. So well... Covid takes another one.

We love Chinese buffets, but we vow to never go back to this one. Food was cold, and everything tasted way off. The mussels were obviously frozen prior to serving, and a lot of the hot food was tough and cold. The soup was even cold! The ice cream was all melted and refrozen so we couldn't really get a spoon into it. The only good things were the chicken on a stick and chocolate pudding. We tried everything because we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but couldn't even finish a plate after trying something. They also never stopped this one family from letting their kids run around and literally touch and play with the tongs on the buffet! Even worse, when I used their restroom, there was what looked like dried blood smeared onto the stall wall! It's overall disgusting and the food has made me feel awful today! They need a surprise inspection.Now we wasted $25 there. The irony was our fortune cookie telling us not to spend money. Never going back.

Did carry out. Shrimp wasn't ready but I requested it and they had it out in 10 minutes. Food was good. This is one of the few Chinese restaurants you can dine inside. Buffet is open too.

I wouldn’t give any stars if possible . This used to be a favourite restaurant that I and my granddaughter loved to go to. We went for the 1st time after the pandemic issue on Monday, September 28th. The food was horrible. They did not have the same selection as they used to and what they did have was cold or lukewarm and tasteless. The soup was tepid. The Mac and cheese cold and the crab dish and cabbage dish cold. Very poor salad section. They did not have the sushi which I used to enjoy. The desserts very sparse and the ice cream half melted. We left most of our meals on the plate and as far as I am concerned I threw away over $25.00. The server did not even ask if everything was fine. Because they know how bad it is. Too bad. There is plenty of other Chinese restaurants in this town. We will just have to find another that is good as this place USED to be. Never again!!!

The food was cold and when we told them about it and that it was only the one table, the girl got a thermometer and came to us saying "It is 102 and we are told anything over 100 degrees is fine." It was quickly brought to her attention that it should be about 140 degrees but she did not agree. This is how people get sick! Not to mention the food that was there was not fresh. WE WILL NOT RETURN!!!

This place USED to be so good, we would eat here all the time. Now I would not even feed it to my worst enemy. It is not just one item is awful all items are awful, don't waste your time or money.

Used to be really good. Went down hill. Food was old not hot. Didn't have half the things they used to have. Waitress was nice but food is awful. Won't come back after this time

This is the worst Chinese buffet in Cincinnati. Actually, I prefer the Chinatown cafeteria on Harrison Street, but they're not running any more. I was disappointed. I often ate there. But I'm not eating here anymore. The food is old. There are no waiters here. She told me to get my drink, she didn't come over, she was on the phone. I will not come here again. There are no waiters and the attitude is very bad.

Im not sure if people in the recent reviews just went at a bad time or not but the food here was good. I will say it could have been a little fresher but otherwise its standard chinese food. They probs are having issues like everyone else rn. And the server was so nice.

chinese food at this place - super good. Food was so fresh. Staff treated us so kindly. It has a great interior.

the rice is bland, the chicken is cheap, the shrimp is disgusting, just like everything else the only thing I enjoyed is the egg rolls and corn nuggets. even the fortune cookies are gross

First the place looked clean, but seems like it is not being run by anyone who has been in the restaurant industry before. If you look at the kitchen door it looks like it has been broken in half. Then they have 5 or 6 buffett stations. On these stations they have all this food but the majority of it is not labeled, and some of what is labeled is incorrect. Also on the steam tables not all of the food was being kept hot. Some I checked was cold and oily. They had boxes of desserts on one of the steam tables and just left and empty box sitting there. The employees appear to be under no obligation to wear any uniform or any name tags. Therefore it is difficult to determine who is an employee when you are there.This restaurant is in dire need of an owner or manager who actually knows what to do or has the authority to do so.

Pretty good Chinese buffet. The sushi is great. Great rice also. Good place for family dining. Highly recommended.

the food is good but the inside looks run down needs to bed spiffed up and food labeled better

Upon walking in restaurant smelled dirty and musty. Food wasn’t that good. Everything on the buffet was very old. Dried up and shriveled up. Food didn’t have any flavor. They had a decent amount of sushi however it all contained Shellfish which my boyfriend can’t eat. The sushi that didn’t contain shellfish was touching sushi with shellfish. Sushi was very warm since restaurant had no working AC. It was miserable to eat in when it’s 90 degrees outside. I usually am not a person who complains about restaurants to the point I write a review but I had to write this. Will not return.
