Nuevo China Buffet 139 West North Avenue, Northlake, IL 60164

"The food here was cold. The only hot thing there, was the water that was vaporizing to keep that food “warm”. The employee at the register was mainly having a conversation with another employee while we were paying for entry. The employee she was talking to picked their nose and went to stir the food after. She didn’t think twice to change her pink gloves after picking out her boogers. The cleaning lady was “cleaning” the tables with the same dirty rag, and kept giving my family bad looks. The lady was very sweet with the rest of the people in the restaurant except for us due to her actions. At the end of it all she expected a tip, which was not given. I don’t recommend coming to this restaurant unless you want to eat on a dirty table and possibly find boogers in your food."

"The food was terrible because it wasn’t fresh. The meat smells bad, the fruit is almost bad, and the food has no taste at all. The service sucked. They didn’t label their food, so half the time you don’t know what you’re eating. When they run out of a dish of food, we asked them to refill it and they refused because they want to save money. Not many people were there. The bathroom is dirty, and there are puddles of pee so when you try to go, you stand on pee. So use the bathroom before going to this place. Also, the stalls are covered in writing and have some “colorful language” on them. So that’s why this restaurant is only a one star."

"This place is good, not bad. I do wish they could have more options available like the other buffets. Front desk very friendly, tables clean but the carpet is very dirty and stained. Should go with only hard flooring. Noodle cook is good and friendly."

"This was a great buffet. What you get for the price is an incredible value (Sunday lunch,$18 and change). A wide variety of items including a build your own hibachi, there’s something for everyone. There were a lot of large families, but that was the vibe of this buffet. Nothing fancy, nothing private, just tasty Chinese food and a lot of it. Booths were a bit uncomfortable, and bathrooms were not the best, but for how busy that place gets, that crew must be run ragged. It was a little strange to find Horchata at the drink station, but I can’t hate, I definitely had a glass… or two. Don’t forget to tip! Enjoy!"

"Overall it was a very good experience. The collection of food was reasonably large, including crab legs, sushi, several soups, hibachi station, and coffee. In terms of cost, it was a fantastic deal— we spent $35 for two people, and the price includes soft drinks, tea, and coffee. The servers were really nice. The interior was clean and well organized. Things I didn’t like: the foods had no labels, the dessert collection was limited, and the restroom was not very clean."
