Food was fresh and delicious. The server only picked up plates during our meal, she didn't offer me a refill until I was already ready to leave. I will return.

Was a bit skeptical of a new buffet opening up in the Loveland area. But, I was impressed! The buffet was broken up into sections like: Grill Food, Desserts/Fruit, Sushi and others. They had a section with a made-to-order Hibachi Grill, which ended up being one of our favorite parts. A section of many sushi rolls, as well as desserts and fruits, with a functioning ice cream machine. The wait staff was very helpful, and I felt that there were plenty of food options to choose from. They also included some American choices, like pizza and fries. They were very kind, and urged us to fill up to-go boxes with any food we wanted at no extra cost. We always go straight to Hot & Sour Soup at Asian restaurants, but it didn't taste the best here. Other than that, I'll be back!

Golden Stars just recently opened up- I will say, I am not one for buffets but I do like chinese so I wanted to try it! The pictures online (not here) made it look really good. When we went it was not as good as I was expecting. Some of the meat was completely grey and the sushi looked like it had been out for quite a while lol. The wonton soup was so salty I believe from being simmering for hours. Overall, I would give them a second chance because the service was very nice but be aware it is a buffet so you get what you pay for.

A nice Chinese buffet. When we came it was criminally not busy, so a lot of dishes weren't particularly fresh. We honed in on what was fresh and had a good time. Hope this place gets more busy.Had all the classic buffet staples, like the ice cream, zebra sheet cake, donuts, custard dumplings, and of course the mainstream American Chinese dishes like General Tsos, fried rice and others. Solid spot.

Food: inedible, I believe they try to save money by freezing and reheating all the food they have and everything even the sushi tastes like it was at least a week old and microwaved. No matter the item you get, it will be stale and cold even if they just put a new batch out. The quality of the food is horrible in taste, texture, and I was actually afraid to keep eating and I like to say I have an invincible stomach but I would actually question the safety of most of the food here! I even tried the ice cream which had a weird grainy/icey and watery texure, basically you're better off getting a vanilla cone from McDonald's than this places soft serve.Service: the staff is exceptionally friendly and nice but I feel bad for their circumstances. Unfortunately either hard times or bad business practices I was charged almost $19 for the buffet and I had a water and went alone!?? I did eat their seafood and steak in from their buffet selection but I guess they secretly charge you for your choices.Atmosphere: the building is an old repurposed Golden Corral, the tables, plates, etc are exactly like Golden Corral but they serve Chinese food.Save your money and go to McDonald's or another place this place is a cash grab and you will leave feeling cheated or even worse SICK!!! ?This place desperately needs new management, kitchen staff, and kitchen quality inspection, this place is straight out of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares. I want them to do better so please, start with keeping your food fresh, warm, and safe!

We go here almost weekly. The staff are always friendly. The food is great. Obviously with it being a buffet, the rush hours are best for the freshest food but over all its always great! :)

The restaurant was very clean and the staff was pleasant (yet not friendly). If not for those two factors I would have offered no stars at all.This was the worst Chinese buffet food I have ever tasted and that itself speaks volumes. The selection was limited, the cold food was warm and the warm food was cold. The sushi was not even palatable. The spring and egg rolls both tastes of nasty old fryer oil. The chicken was like jerky. Eve. The dessert was sparse and flavorless.Perhaps they just need some time to work out the kinks but I will not be back. One quick glance and they could easily have noticed how nasty the food looked. Instead they sat behind the food bar and starred.

I feel bad writing a bad review for a small business. But, I have not had food that was much worse.The sushi rice was so dry that it started to be something new (which honestly was kind of okay).I have never had ribs that tasted like nothing.And the cherry on top, the pineapple started to ferment. I am not making this up. It tasted liked alcohol.

The food was not hot, barely warm in some places. The prices are not listed which led to a surprise when we checked out. Each person was $20.00. While we didn't ask it should have been posted. The man bringing our drinks and taking out dirty plates was very nice and personable.

I give it 4 stars in the world of buffets. It was a asian buffet with all the standard fare and it was above average. It was a very clean restaurant and the staff were very nice. It is one I would go back to.

This place doesn't cater to people with FOOD ALLERGIES like me. All I asked for them to clean the grill before he put my food on there and they made it so difficult. They asked me to pick something else ? . But its cool , i just won't go back there at all.
