Generic donut shop peddling standards such as glazed and powdered donuts, bear claws and fritters, fruit and sausage kolaches, and breakfast muffins and sandwiches. I always go for the sausage kolaches both in croissant and jalapeno varieties, and the good-natured lady running the counter always sends me off to work with a baggie of donut holes.

If you’re looking for simple, fast Americanized Chinese food presented in a clean, friendly setting, New New Buffet won’t disappoint. Their hot line is representative of all the standards on a neighborhood Chinese restaurant menu: beef with broccoli, chicken with broccoli, sesame chicken, orange chicken, orange beef, jalapeno chicken, lo mein, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, etc. Most are solid renditions of their namesakes, and, quality-wise, are comparable to food court Chinese. New New also has a fried food section containing everything from crab rangoon (or is that just cheese rangoon) to jalapeno poppers and chicken wings; a soup bar populated by the predictable wonton, egg drop and hot/sour soups; a cold bar with california rolls and crab legs in abundance (along with drawn butter and ginger/wasabi sides); a salad bar (nothing exciting here), and a dessert bar overpopulated by cookies and cakes–no doubt purchased in bulk from a local warehouse club. Patrons who don’t like guessing what’s on their plate will be pleased with the taste and value of New New’s buffet. On a Sunday lunch visit, the hit on the wallet was $9.99 a person, plus drinks and tax.

If you’re looking for can’t-go-wrong neighborhood Chinese in bulk, this is the place to go. But if your tastes gravitate to the more authentic, the Josey/Beltline intersection where First Chinese resides is a short drive down the road.
