This is a really nice place. It's clean well maintained, nice places to sit. The food is like unforgiving to the eyes, made me want a little bit of everything! The staff is courteous and professional. The owner truly has a heart ❤ filled with compassion for others, not just in her business, it overflows outside her business as well. I very rarely give any place a 5 star rating, she gets it hands down from me! I'm sorry I don't know her name. I guess I need to mention, they have great food at affordable prices. Thank you China Star for serving the Lubbock area.
The food was lacking in flavor. The egg rolls were too greecy. The fruit in dessert bar didn't taste fresh. It seems the grapes in particular were beginning to be over ripened. The whole experience was not bad. I had an issue of being charged 10x the amount for two lunch buffets and the staff at the front desk did everything to make it right.
Impressive.Reasonable price.Astonishing quality and quantity of modern Chinese cuisine.The employees and staff are kind and nice except for one of the Chinese cashiers who is rude.I would give five stars otherwise.
Wish I had taken pictures of the food. Yes the buffet was shock and was able to find a few things tasted okay. The sushi was the worst I have ever had Sam's club makes better, it tasted as if it was from frozen or been sitting in the fridge for a few days. The craw fish had no seasoning which is no surprise most places don't no how to but I know how to make due, the crawfish I had was the last thing I placed on my plate off the buffet and the first thing I tried once back to the table was cold once I opened it and smelled rotten. The salmon still had scales on it which my husband didn't see any on his. The waitress was friendly and very good. If not for her I would given 1 star. The forture cookie I think was meant for you if your reading this.
The food selection is really good for the price. The Chinese food is tasty and less oily than in other places. I'm Thai-Chinese and think that the food there is delicious. The food was fresh and always being refilled while we were there. The service was fantastic from the first step into the restaurant to the last step out. In my opinion, the sushi selection is fair for the price. If you want a bigger selection, you have to go to a more expensive place. My husband and I were happy with the selection and quality of the food. Also, the restaurant was clean and the server picked up our plates quickly. Don't automatically believe the bad reviews - it's worth a try. We will keep going back.
This buffet is a culinary nightmare. If you want fried cheese sticks that are overcooked and only have the curd that was originally melted cheese it would be your place. The chicken and seafood were bland, rubbery, overcooked, and overly sauced with store bought sauces that could make even the strongest stomached person sick. This isn’t even to mention the brown and black sections of clumped salt that were in the salt shaker or the infinite amount of disgustingly dirty plates and cups that you’ll find waiting for you. The fact that this buffet hasn’t given someone a severe case of food poisoning is beyond me.If you want to get a buffet, you’d be better off taking the $20-100 that you would spend at China Star and buying the sauces they use along with some rice/chow mein/rice noodles and getting some friends to help out.DO NOT BELIEVE THE 5 Star reviews!!!! They are reviews placed to inflate the rating for this place.
The sushi was hard as a rock. The crawfish had no seasoning at all. The food always tastes old. Hadn't been in years and thought I'd give it another try. Big mistake.
1 star is being generous for the experience we just had . I will say the front staff was very nice but the downside was the finding of bugs in the rice . I have heard stories of this place and am always on guard when going to buffets especially with bad reputations . My daughter wanted to eat here so we were seated and shortly after gathering our food I looked down into my steamed rice because I noticed black specs ( which looked like pepper at first) and discovered on a closer look that they were tiny bugs . I went back to the buffet to check the rest of the rice and the whole batch was filled with these guys . U could see them whole and their empty shells . I took my plate up to the the front desk to try to be nice and discreet and all I got was a sorry and they removed the rice from the bar . A Refund or even a partial refund would have been nice for the inconvenience of not being able to enjoy my food which we paid good money for . $35 for 2 people to eat and to discover that ..... VERY DISSAPOINTED ! BEWARE PEOPLE. OBSERVE WHAT YOUR EATING FROM HERE . NOW I BELIEVE THE AWFUL THINGS OTHER PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE FOUND IN THE FOOD THERE .
China star has great food, for a great price!
Food wasn't fresh when we first got there but it didn't take long to fill up bar.. Nice friendly service... Do think drinks could be a lil cheaper
