I haven’t been here in many years but I am so glad we came today the food was surprisingly good for being a buffet everything was fresh and constantly being refilled also the service was amazing if you want good service ask for Flor you won’t regret it she was attentive, super nice, and kept her self busy we always had drinks filled and was constantly cleaning our table and the other tables around us as well, my husband and I noticed her hard work and as former servers and restaurant managers we always notice when the staff is doing a great job. I recommend this place 100% specially if you have Flor as your server I know you will enjoy it

Large, reasonably priced, buffet. Very good selection of food. Everything was tasty. Service was excellent. Sushi bar, tepenyaki (they call it a hibachi grill), dessert bar, and ice cream stand (both soft serve and dipped) rounded out the selection. My Wednesday night dinner (senior price) and ice tea, with tax, was $16.77 before tip.

The food wasn't as good as people told me. The Mac n cheese is horrible, the boiled shrimp were over cooked. The best dishes were the seafood salad served hot & mustard potato salad. The smell of a sewage issue was overwhelming so we ordered take out. I won't be dining there again.

This place is filthy dirty. Tables were sticky. Covid plastic table shields dividers had several handprints and looks foggy. No gloves to use when attempting to grab from the buffet area. Food is really not the best from other buffets that I have tried. I wouldnt recommend coming here to this location. They need to practice having this place clean and presentable to the customers. No need to talk about the price....not coming back. Please Share, Like, and Follow for more #JaysTrueRatings.

I just visted China Star off I10 East Freeway for the first time. I tried some shrimp, a few crawfish and some fried crab. I noticed a hairlike string attached to several of the crab on my plate. It made me feel nauseous after observing this and I no longer had an appetite. I asked for the Manager. her name was Jessica. I explained what had happened, as I had barely eaten and asked to comp my meal. She unapologetically offered a discount. I asked why would she not comp my meal. She said the hairlike string was a part of the fishing net and they can't remove all of them. Jessica picked up my plate of crab. I asked for the bosses name & contact number. She replied he wont answer the phone anyway and walked away! My friend and I immefiately went to pay for the meal. She gave a 10% discount which was unacceptable to me. Jessica was unprofessional and displayed an inability to handle customer complaints. I will NEVER visit any China Star this day forward!!! Consumers, Please review the pictures below; all were taken before I left the restaurant.Unhappy

The food was good. I sat down at 2pm for the lunch price. Checked out at 4:15pm and was charged for the dinner price. Was very upset. Asked the cashier why my bill was so much, she says the computer automatically switches over to the dinner price at 4pm. Well, it was 4:15 pm when we checked out. What do you think we sat down to eat for 15 minutes? Will not be going back. There needs to be a better system.

What was good was good. What was bad was bad. Most of the food was okay. Soups could use improving. New food constantly being brought out. Friendly table servers. They brought out fresh boiled crawfish and one woman took them all which I personally thought was horribly rude to the other customers. I would have asked her to leave.

Everything was fine, the food was good except for the fact that there was hair in my food! And all I got was 15% off because of a hair in my food. Honestly, $16 per person + drink is kind of steep. Definitely not coming back.

Food was terrible hostess was rude and the window was smeared with who’s know what! Food looked like leftovers just a waste of money!!!!

The food was barely okay. There was not as much a selection of stir fried foods as one would expect. The fried chicken was cold and stale. The wonton soup was not edible, and I love wonton soup. ?. Other selections were warm in temp but not hot. It cost $40 for two people. I do not feel it was worth that amount. I probably will not return unfortunately.
