China Garden

Great buffet for a good price. Buffet is open till 3:30pm. I've heard good things about their dinner menu but haven't tried it myself. Staff are super friendly. Food is consistently replaced.

Do not order hot tea. It comes in a Styrofoam cup and you're given a straw. You will burn your mouth.

They have good dumplings, fried rice and chicken. Their lomein is ok. They have the creamiest potatoes I've ever eaten. I didn't try them for a long time because I felt they didn't belong in a Chinese restaurant, but now I get them every time I go.

Be careful when you choose to go. There is a huge rush after church on Sundays which can make it hard to get a table. As with any buffet, the earlier you go the better.

Great food, good price. Even though it's busy at lunch, service was fast

Such a sweet family own restaurant. Small but good. Their food is always fresh and they keep their buffet filled. We love going here for lunches and also ordering take out. We have never had a bad experience. The owner is there all the time. She greets us and is always working hard. Highly recommend this restaurant out of all of the Chinese restaurants in New Bern!

I love the food. They give you huge portions, which are usually good for two meals. I love having the sesame Chicken or Lo mein, fried rice, egg rolls and, much more options to choose from.

The food is always a hit here. Very good prices. Buffet was fresh. We went very close to closing and they were still putting out fresh food.

Great lunch buffet til 3:30 pm for $9. Not the biggest buffet, but the food is really good and always available. They constantly fill it up and it gets a good crowd for lunch. Closed Tuesday.

All I ordered was egg rolls. Told me 10 minutes and it was actually 5 minutes. They were good.

Ms Gen is always a pleasure to see. Eileen ( my sister) Tawny & Maria are Great waitresses! The food is always hot & delicious 🙂

Always well prepared and tasty. Great take out.

Whenever I tell someone that I love this buffet and it’s my kid’s favorite place to eat, they share a fond memory as this place has been around for many years and have the awards on the wall to prove it! Very delicious and the servers are attentive.

This is one of our favorite places. It always seems we have a hankering for it on Friday night. We have “our spot” and the staff knows and delights in our little girl and are always so kind and helpful. The food is tasty and hot. The coconut shrimp is the best, but only available on the dinner buffet, FYI. Also, takeout is available. There’s nothing remarkable about this place, but if you’re looking for cheap, hot and tasty Chinese buffet with good selection of all the staples and a really great staff, you found it.

Have been going here every so often since I was a kid, and so I am definitely writing a biased review. I really love the food here and even when going on off times, when the food wasn't fresh, the food was still good. In my opinion, if I can still enjoy the food at these times, you did something right. Of course, it hasn't always been perfect, but I can overlook those things.
Their non standard buffet items, like the salad bar, and desserts are stuff that I rarely touch, but are still pretty good.
I miss their ice cream machine they had when I was still a kid, it was the best ice cream I ever had, even if it were just two flavors, vanilla/chocolate. Now, they have ice cream buckets, which are fine, but not something I bother with.
Heres hoping to more years of this place! :)

I've reviewed this place previously and gave them 4 stars. This time I will up it to 5 as they deserve it. I have noticed some changes from my last visit here a few months ago. The food looks better, there is a little more of it, and unlike the other bigger Buffet across town I think the food tastes better and it is definitely warmer! See my review on Hitachi Buffet in New Bern.
I agree with another reviewer that the selection isn't as much as the other one, but it has all the basics, No where they cook your food for you, but the food in my opinion is of better quality... which I would gladly prefer over quantity. Also the service is much better here, quicker and more friendly.

Friendly staff, good food. l always enjoy their buffet.

Less than $10 for a buffet and it's year 2022!! The food was good and I'll be back. You will love it if you're a meat lover.

Best Chinese food we have found in New Bern. Food was fresh, hot, and delicious. Will definitely eat there again.

Great little buffet at a lower price. Best Teriyaki chicken on a stick in the area!
