East Star Chinese Buffet

It's one of only Chinese buffets in our area of Terre Haute and like many soon go out of business, I like these Chinese buffet because they have alot to choose from as in variety but the food is often cold and they seem to hire people that don't care either! I go for the sushi because I love it and don't seem to have a problem with it! They can do better with the atmosphere and friendly personnel but one thing I will say is I don't like when I'm being rushed out by Chinese people after eating one or two plates which seems to be commen for a Chinese place... it's a buffet and unless I'm 410 pounds then there is a reason to rush me out! Plus I've also been charged $20 for a dinner buffet when it's lunch buffet of $12 I'm about to just eat and walk if I'm being scammed. I don't know how to keep these places around because they are good but they eventually go down hill over time just like the Hiycahado Japan buffet that went down because of maggots and roaches they had in there area!

DO NOT EAT HERE, not even worth 1 star!! I had been coming here off and on for the past 15+years. ALOT has changed over the years. The staff are very rude, the place is very dirty inside and out, food was cold which after seeing a "RAT" run thru the dining area my wife and I stopped eating and left feeling sick. The staff didn't care when I said something to them about it, just told us we could leave. Well that was our pleasure and WILL NEVER BE BACK. We will report this place before they make people sick or worse kill someone.
LET THE OUTSIDE TELL U SOMETHING AND BE WARNED TO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

Looks are deceiving this restaurant can not be judged by its outer cover . My husband and I thought it was a rundown out of business from the looks of the outer signs on the building but when you walk through the doors it transforms in to a very nice buffet crablegs plentiful and all the dishes are fresh and hot the crab ragoon was a little different recipe but all in all a wonderful dinner and it was 35 dollars for 2 people dinner well worth the price great value great food great staff will definitely return

Arrived at noon on a Saturday, expecting a fresh buffet. Hot food was cold, cold food was warm (even the salad dressings), fried food was soggy, crab rangoons were "chewy", fried rice tasted like JUST oil, and Pepper Steak was "light gray" in color with a sponge texture.

It's been rough in the past but today was literally my worst experience. ? Would definitely stay away for now, especially with some of the meat temperatures. (I feel like there are definitely some fake "5 Star Reviews" on here...some are just weird and obviously unrealistic.)
