Reviews for New China Cafe in Corpus Christi, TX
Food was over cooked, like it has been sitting out too long. The AC was broken or something as every single person eating here... and workers were sweating. Asked if there was a military discount and the host said yes it’s 10% and then proceeded to notapply the discount. When I asked her why the discount wasn’t applied she said either military or senior price would apply onlyone or the other- but she still didn’t give me a discount a $30 ticket and the “senior” price was only .50 cheaper thanregular buffet. So she basically didn’t give me the discount like she said she would. Spend the extra $10 and go somewherenicer I refuse to spend another dime in this establishment. Read more
I am so full. We got two entrees and WOAH they were so filling. You could literally just get one plate, and share because they... load them up! I have been eating here for over 16 years. The crab rangoon is soooo good. The plates were so fresh. Read more
My waitress was very attentive and kind, that's about the only thing that was good in this place. If they actually have a chef,... he/she takes no pride in his/her presentation of food and I definitely don't think they went to culinary school for any periodof time. I had never visited this buffet before and by the it looks of things I will never be back, very disappointed. Thequality of the food says a lot about the place and that's not saying much, lots of room for improvement. PS for those of youthat have seafood allergies be very careful about the food that you pick, it will be falsely labeled, for example, I was goingto have the chicken fried rice because that's what the label called it but then I took a closer look as I was scooping the riceup, there was pieces of shrimp in it, I addressed the situation with my waitress but nothing was done about correcting the falselabel. To the restaurant owners, your food needs to be properly labeled, if you have a customer with seafood allergies and theyeat seafood it will close off their airway, they will suffocate to death before they even get to the hospital and then you willhave a huge lawsuit on your hands, please be considerate of your future customers and their safety. I know I may sound like aKaren but I expect to get what I pay for, I do these Google reviews everywhere I go and this place by far was the worst I'vebeen to in a while. Below is a picture of the sad salad that I retrieved from the salad bar :( Read more
We always eat here but tonight has been the worst I asked for white rice got fried the combination lo mein had a chemical taste,... the beef and broccoli had absolutely no taste. Y’all really need to retrain the cooks on how to cook Asian food because thisain’t it. Read more
I happen to stop by this place for lunch the place was fairly steady which means the buffet had a good rotation going on it... everything was staying stocked and the food was hot and ready to eat. I ordered the buffet because with a buffet it's fast andthere's always going to be at least something on there that everybody likes in my personal opinion I didn't have any complaintsabout the place so I left pretty happy with a full stomach. The price was just under $10 per person so I thought it was a greatdeal. Read more
Been living here for 3 plus years and this nice restaurant was here the whole time. Hidden in front of me. I'm not used to the... price as there are others with cheaper buffets and bigger selections but this restaurant is just as good as the rest of them.Everything I tried was delicious and of temperature. Great family place. With a cozy and comfortable environment this makes thisrestaurant the perfect spot for a quick visit for a bite or meal with the family and some quality time. Nice, clean environmentwith great customer service. Love it. My new favorite spot. Great job, guys!! ???????? Read more

Lower your expectations just a bit Leean. The food was not as fresh as I’ve had elsewhere. Only a few items were good. The... eggs rolls and the cream cheese puffs being two of them. The hot and sour soup was lukewarm at best. Everything else I tried wasover cooked, bland or tasteless. Service was good. Waiter brought our refills quickly. Read more
