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.

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..

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.

Fantastic food, even at just 40 minutes before closing. Food was hot and delicious. I was seated right away and the service was attentive and friendly. I will certainly be out there again!

We walked in 40 minutes before closing with minimal expectation. When we arrived, the staff was extremely friendly and seated us with joy. The food was fresh, which was amazing based on time of evening. Drinks were refilled before empty, and empty plates removed within seconds of finishing. Extremely impressed with the quality of the food and service. Friendly, clean, delicious! Best Chinese buffet I’ve had in years!

I was 🤔 skeptical of a Chinese restaurant in rural Tennessee however I was pleasantly surprised. Good food, good folks, good service, at decent prices. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Restaurant was clean and food was very good. I was impressed by the flavor and freshness. The bbq pork on a stick was so darn good. Coconut shrimp was also tasty. Tap water was really gross. I thought it would have been filtered. Service was also great. The young ladies were attentive and were very helpful. We were there until almost 8pm and fresh food was still coming out.

I ordered rice-noodles with veggies, no meat, because I am vegan, I asked for it to be cooked in soy sauce, I asked for mushrooms and carrots specifically... the lady did not speak plainly to wear I could understand her and apparently she did not understand me. She brought out a plate with veggies and a plate with dry, white rice. The veggies did not even have mushrooms. I told her that is was not what I wanted. So after my husband helped me explain to her what I wanted, and I showed her a picture off of the internet, then she brought me rice noodles with a little green veggies of some sort, but hardly no carrot, and there was not one mushroom, plus it did not get cooked in soy sauce. The worst part was that it was oily and it had EGG IN IT! I do not eat any animal products. This whole visit was disappointing. THEN THEY MADE US PAY FOR BOTH DISHES, EVEN THOUGH I STILL DID NOT GET WHAT I WANTED AND THE FIRST ONE WAS NOT WHAT I ORDERED! My husband and I were both upset and I was so frustrated that I went to the bathroom and cried before we left. I don't think I will ever come back. It was a terrible experience.

Affordable and absolutely delicious. I've been twice for the buffet and it's been great both times. Never had an issue with a dish being cold or anything like that. It's always been good. The staff are kind, and the restaurant is beautiful. Never had anything on the buffet I didn't like. Only complaint I have ever had is the ice cream being mostly empty, but that's not enough to really stick out to me lol. Absolutely wonderful place

We came in the last hour before they closed. The food was fresh and they even put more out for the ones that were empty. Service was great very friendly

I don’t care what anyone has to say. I grew up eating at this restaurant and it broke my heart when i heard they closed a few years back. I’m glad to see them up and running again. Never had a bad experience here and the food is consistent and great tasting.

We got the sweet and sour chicken and weren’t super impressed. The fried rice had nothing in it? Maybe the other dishes are better. Service was good though, fast and kept up on drinks.

Food quality was sub par. I got shrimp and scallops stir fry. Sauce was tasty but the seafood was poor quality and rice wasn't great. Interior is in need of updating, painting and cleaning. A lot of clutter and disorganization. Very disappointing and a waste of money.

We had been out all day and roads were getting bad so we stopped for the night and found this gem. You could tell when we walked in they were probably about to close because of no customers on a bad night. But they welcomed us and cooked fresh food!! They were so friendly and sweet. I highly recommend stopping in.

Great spot with delicious food. It's my go to lunch spot. It's crazy how eating fast food can cost more than eating a proper lunch there nowadays. I also ordered take out before and it was quick and tasty.

This place, we showed up at 8:10pm on a Monday and the Ming Garden was wrapping up shop, people were still coming in, and almost half the trays were already pulled off the buffet. The last trays tasted like they had been put up that morning. The chicken fell off the bone, not in a good way. No hibachi grill(they pulled the trays), no compromise, no chop sticks for kids nothing. Maybe they are not so bad for breakfast. Please don't say you are open until 9 and have everything wrapped up and employees off at 8:45...

This was my first visit to Ming Garden. It was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! Much better than any Chinese place in my local area. (Southwestern Virginia) The buffet was well stocked, fresh, and hot. I was blown away by just how many selections there were. The egg drop soup was absolutely amazing. It was my favorite out of everything I tried. :) We were seated quickly after arriving. Our waitress was very kind and attentive even though the restaurant was slightly busy. She was good about taking old plates away and providing refills. The booth we sat at was clean. I will be coming back here. 10/10 on every aspect.

Bowl w/ honey sesame chicken & chow mein. $10 The portion sizes that you get for your money is absolutely atrocious. I got 6 small pieces of chicken with my bowl. That is 1 entree and a carb. When I called in to the store to ask about the servings I had received they seriously just gave a corporate spiel. Legitimately no customer service. A real if you don’t like it then please come here so I can show you on a graph that you are wrong. Also. If you tell them you are going to write a 1 star review with a picture they call you threatening. I will definitely not be coming back here. I would encourage others to spend your money somewhere they don’t rip you off on your food. Edit: please look at the other reviews with pictures and see the difference in protein.

they are great. they’ve provided many good meals for me. i requested all small pieces of orange chicken and this is the best meal ive ever had. 10/10.

We have been looking for a great Chinese restaurant in the tri cities and this one has the best food. We visited mid afternoon on a rainy day so it was not busy. Just one other customer. The guy at the desk is not Chinese and has a charming personality. The place is clean, the food is good, prices reasonable with large servings you can split. They have a separate private room if you need it. It's a bit hidden down a busy two lane road but it is worth the trip.

Absolutely phenomenal food! Vegetables are super fresh, meats are tender, the absolute best egg drop soup we have ever eaten! This is food that inspires poetry and still life paintings!
