Chinese Restaurant

This is a delicious place that deserves a much better name than China New Buffet. The food was very good, the drink is included in the price, and you are empowered to make your own plates and drinks. Other than the pleasant conversation we had paying, no one bothered us but were there to answer any questions we had. The buffet is normal sized but the food is higher quality than most bigger buffets. In the end, this is a place I would take a road trip to since I find most of the Chinese buffets here in Knoxville have had a failing cleanliness score. We'll be back!!!

The food is somewhat okay if you go when there’s a lot of people there. If not, expect food that has been sitting all day. Today, the food was somewhat decent. The problem is we were told the price was going to be $31 for 2 buffets and 2 waters. We even confirmed it was for no drinks included because she still handed us cups. She said we were being charged $31 for the buffet. So when I got home and saw that my card was charged $37.20, I was shocked. I attempted calling before leaving this review to see if there was some kind of mistake that could be fixed, but no. She kept insisting we were charged $31 even though I was looking directly at my bank statement and seeing the charge with my own eyes. So I will be filing a dispute with my bank because this is stealing. Also, this is a small buffet place so I would expect the food to at least taste like they care. When they first came to Rockwood, they were amazing. Decently priced, food was great, nice people, etc. They have went downhill drastically over the years and it’s a shame. Either way, I’m getting our money back. They’re not going to steal from our family. Times are already hard enough as it is for them to be not only charging a ridiculous amount of money, but stealing money as well? You should be ashamed of yourself. And then not to mention, them trying to tell my husband how much food he’s allowed to eat at an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET. Definitely won’t be returning anymore.

New in town and this is definitely becoming a quick favorite. Staff is always super friendly, food is delicious and great portion size for the price!

This place is a 10 outta 10! They deserve more than 5stars! The orange chicken is 🔥 and the noodles omg they are the best around! And they don’t stretch the noodles by adding a bunch of vegetables either! My kiddos love that about YUM YUM (at panda express we always have to pick the veggies out of the noodle bc they put so many!) And the crab Rangoons , the flavor is incredible & they are ALWAYS crispy and NEVER soggy!! We also tried the sesame chicken, and it was very good, but did have a little kick to it. The kids didn’t like it as much as the orange chicken! And we ordered a large order on everything and had plenty of leftovers! So you definitely get your bang for your buck!! I would definitely recommend this place 🧡 I added pictures of the To-Go menu below..

Wonderful food, friendly staff, quick service, and fair prices! We ordered the general tsos chicken and the curry chicken lunch specials. We also ordered some lo mein to take home because theirs is the best in town! The kind lady up front surprised us by bringing the sugary pastries to our table during our meal. They also checked on us a couple times to make sure we were happy with our meal. We highly recommend Middlesboro's New China Express!

An unassuming little gem tucked off of Cumberland Ave. Hot and sour soup was packed full of fresh ingredients and great flavor. Seafood Delight...delighted my seafood-craving wife. And the Ta Chien Chicken was cooked spicy to order and again, fresh and very tasty. We're glad to make their acquaintance and look forward to many more dinners here!

I'm so glad I got the chance to order here, everything was delicious! The portions are generous, the prices are great especially during lunch, and everything tasted so good. I love the hot tea, and the egg drop soup is very tasty, though a bit thick. I definitely recommend grabbing some takeout here if you have the chance 10/10!

All our containers were full of rice little to no main meats we ordered what frauds will not be going here anymore guess I'll start looking for another go to Chinese restaurant FRAUDS. I've been going here for 2 years now and after today I'm no longer supporting your business that's been frauding customers I don't order an all roce dish and tou give 90% rice 10% meat ordered. I'll be contacting the state with my photos and receipt. Shut places like this down.

I’ve had their food three times, hoping this would be a hit or miss situation, but it has been a constant miss. The food has zero flavor, “fried rice” is plain rice that has zero taste and isn’t fried at all. Sweet and sour chicken always has mushy breading and isn’t fried correctly either. The third time I found a string in my food. Their food is based on quantity and not quality, I’ve noticed. While the service might be friendly, I do not recommend the food and cleanliness of this place.

if you are looking for good chinese food this is NOT the place. the food is very bland. if you are looking for a lot of food this is the place to be. they are 100% quantity over quality here. this place was good years ago but i guess the new owners are white. the lo mein noodles are pretty much just spaghetti with no sauce, very bland like the chicken.

This place has really good food and the people who work there are very nice , even the chef in the kitchen stuck his head out of the kitchen and said hello, I placed my order on the phone , it was ready very fast, hot and fresh , the only reason I didn't give it a five stars because my sweet and sour soup I couldn't really taste the sourness the atmosphere and everything was amazing . I will be back .

Ordered Lo Mein and sesame chicken. Is really expensive and had no combo w egg roll. No veggies in the Lo Mein and meat very poor. Fri d rice taste like it had been sitting for days not order from them again! I have had way more tasty Chinese elsewhere!

First time coming here and I liked it. Their egg roll is one of the best I've had. Hot and sour soup was decent. Cheese wonton and fried wonton was good. Beef and broccoli was too salty. The lomein was good but a tad bit too oily. They used spaghetti noodles instead of the typical square noodles but I still liked it. It had really good flavor. Service was excellent.

We ordered steamed dumplings, sesame chicken with white rice, General Tso’s chicken with fried rice. Overall, the meal was disappointing for me (General Tso’s chicken) and okay for my wife (Sesame Chicken). The dumplings were just okay. The General Tso’s chicken was well breaded but the sauce was not good. The sauce was neither tasty, spicy, no sweetness, and just lacked flavour. The sauce seemed like it was poured out onto the chicken. While the staff did a good service job, the food is not worth going to the restaurant.

I have been eating here for years! I am 25 now and I have been here since I was 10. Every single time, China King has produced high quality food at an affordable price! I am always excited to try something new or partake in an old classic! Each thing on the menu is prepared to order. You can tell a great amount of pride goes into the food that comes out of the kitchen. Everyone has always been very nice, like a well oiled machine! If you're in the area, it is worth a stop for fresh and delicious food! We drive up here at least every 2 weeks! It is that good! 👍 Thank you Ling! Absolutely delicious!

This is a small Chinese buffet that doesn't really had the pomp and flash of the bigger, fancier buffets, but they have a small selection of exactly what you need for a very reasonable price. Usually my standard for Chinese buffets is, "did I get sick" and at this one, I survived with my guts happy and intact.

No customers. Health rating of 83/100. Toilet paper stacked up by the door. Super sketchy. Food wasn’t ready 45 minutes after placing th order. Left immediately. Avoid this place.

Was hopeful to get some good take out Chinese food but this was not it. Chicken was mostly skin and fat that didn't get trimmed off or even crisped up in the frier so it was chewy. One dish was over seasoned with sodium to the point of being inedible. I'm not likely to order from here again.

Food is always over cooked, burnt, and awful. Nostalgia kicks in, and keep trying to have a good meal with this company. I won't anymore. I remember when they had quality food.

Jessica has absolutely phenomenal customer service! This was my first time at Panda Express and she said she threw in some sweet and sour sauce as a recommendation and hoped that we enjoyed our experience. I would hire her in a heartbeat! Thank you Jessica for your kindness. :)

I've been to many Chinese buffet, up and down the eastern US. This place by far, is THE BEST. Nice folks. You'll love it. Believe me.

Service was amazing, the workers are very friendly and helpful. Food was full and most looked fresh. Definitely worth your buck if you go to the sushi bar and like sushi.

First time to this restaurant. Located in a group of stores. Was easy to find and plenty of parking. Food was very good, proportions were amazing. Eat in area is rather small. We were fortunate and got a table. Very clean inside. Staff was great.

This place is delicious. I've been eating here since it open and never had any issues.
