About

Conveniently located in the Lafayette Shoppes Shopping Center, New Taste Buffet (now known as 38th Buffet) offers a diverse selection of all-you-can-eat Chinese and other global cuisines. Priced to please, this casual spot is perfect for solo dining or family outings. While guests appreciate the variety—especially the freshly cooked Mongolian BBQ and well-stocked salad bar—some have noted inconsistencies with food temperature and flavor. With a welcoming atmosphere and wheelchair-accessible options, it’s an inviting choice for lunch or dinner after a shopping spree.

Review by Idella Kassulke

September 27, 2024

My recent visit to New Taste Buffet in Indianapolis left me feeling mixed. The variety was a standout with options spanning Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, and American cuisine! The Mongolian BBQ was a highlight; watching them fry fresh meats and veggies right in front of me was a great touch. 🌟

Unfortunately, some food items were cold and lacked flavor, like the imitation crab and bland coconut shrimp. The sushi was decent, and I enjoyed the fruit bar.

Overall, the atmosphere was lively and the staff friendly, but I hope they can improve on food freshness... Will I give it another shot? 🤔
