New China Buffet

There was barely any food on the buffet. The food had been there all day at 5:30pm, and was dry, greasy and old. The meat was grisely and the only thing I could choke down for our $50 was dessert and some of the fruit. The waiter kept our drinks full though. Poor guy working in this discussing excuse of a restaraunt.

Mostly Hispanic cooks, mostly Hispanic patrons... modified recipes. They even carry Modelo beer. The main thing authentically Chinese here are the waitresses/waiters. The host even greets patrons with "How many, amigo?" I don't mean to bash a small business, nor do I have issues with the Hispanic race — but people (at least I do) pay for the atmosphere, culture, authenticity at a restaurant. This is a prime example of forgetting to be true to who you are. True to your heritage and culture. Never change yourself to cater to others.

I take my son to Vanderbilt in Nashville and after all the doctor appts we decided to eat here, this is like the 3 rd time we have dined here. We both got the Buffett bar and almost half the food was cold. They did cook more food after we had to ask them. The next day my son had more doctors appointment and when it was time to go home that Friday, I noticed I was getting sick to my stomach and couldn’t control my bowl movements. I had to stop at 3 gas stations before we left out of Nashville to drive back home. This was the only place we ate at. This past week I have been so sick with uncontrollable diarrhea, yesterday I started running a fever and this morning my fever was 103. I was so weak and dehydrated. I drove myself to the ER, they checked my stool and to my surprise I have salmonella. I can honestly say with 100% certainty that it was from this restaurant. Please be aware if you decide to eat here.
