The meal was very good and fresh and was kept fresh on the plates. Everything was restocked regularly. If you are a senior citizen you must tell them when you come in because they can't tell from your grey hair. The charge for hot tea is exorbitant.And not included with your dinner price. The variety that was available was very good. The weight staff was very responsive and cleared used plates quickly. The facility is spacious and adequately handles a large number of people.

Typical Chinese buffet experience. Service was excellent, food was tasty except for the gritty brocolli... Not sure if it was just my scoop or what. Facility was clean.

I've been seeing this restaurant for the last few years but never stopped in. I've been looking for a decent buffet since the Hometown Buffet left. The Golden Corral just doesn't fit our likes, but that's another story.Today, my wife and I stopped off at the New Century Buffet and were greeted by Aida. We went to pay to get in but she said we eat first and pay later. This took us back a little. Who does that anymore?The food was Asian and it was great. We will definitely be going back.One caveat though. Don't waste your food there. They charge $8 and something for wasted food. Great idea!!! I've seen too much waste at the Golden Corral.Our special thanks to Aida.Parking: We didn't count the spaces but ample.

Just left here was there maybe 15 mins. Everything I put on my plate was ice cold by the time I got back to my table extremely disappointed with everything I ate especially for $22 should not have paid.

Great food. Lobster roll is very delicious. Great sushi too, even had avocado on one of the rolls. Multiple trays of shrimp, one sweet coconut, another savory garlic. Ambrosia salad was a nice palate cleanser not too rich or too sweet with yummy mandarins and pineapple. Great price. With soda on Saturday lunch my total was just under $24. Next time you are looking at that uber eats total after fees and shaking your head, remember New Century Buffet. Buffets are the new 'Uber eats weekend treat' in 2024.

We have been coming for years and these last few times the food had been cold, stale, and dry. The service is just as bad, our waiter didn’t bring our drinks until we said something and this time the ladies were talking about us (we understood them) and kept staring at us. I should have taken a picture but there was a bullet hole in one of the windows. I had to let them know ow they had ants last time we came.Extremely disappointed won’t be coming back here again.For 2 adults plus a 2 year old (they lowered the age for kids that eat free) it came out to be $44.35100% NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

We enjoyed the best selection of seafood, sushi and Chinese food to dine on for dinner. It has the right combination of delicious beef, chicken and fish entrees.
