The food is good and you can eat as much or as little as you want. The price is about average as most other restaurants of the type.

Sadly it has changed a lot since my last visit a long ways back. It was okay, but it was nothing special. Breaks my heart because it used to be my favorite buffet.

I went in there to go eat today.And when I walk in, I see the lady at the counter, yelling at some other woman and making fun of her and stuff because she didn't like her food or something like that.I don't know exactly what was going on.But the lady that was running the place actually was yelling at the poor girl, and the girl was just sitting there quietly.I guess contemplating.I'm not sure and then I saw a roach, and that's when me and my husband walked right back out.We will never eat here

Where's experience stay away warning you! I go in there and I get food to eat.I get me a plate as pictured down below in the pictures and I basically pay sixteen dollars 42 little bitty spring rolls.Because the food was so horrible and I swear something was moving under my noodles.It was the worst I'd ever eaten.And that's not the worst part!! When I went to pay for my food THE LADY RUNNING THE PLACE.THAT'S ALWAYS THERE AT THE COUNTER.STARTED BELITTLING ME AND YELLING AND SCREAMING AT ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT AND GETTING THEM TO CLAP AND SAYING, OH, LOOK AT THIS BIG SHOT.AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF STARTED YELLING.JUST BECAUSE I WAS TELLING HER THAT MY FOOD WAS NOT GOOD ! I mean, i'm not even exaggerating.She was screaming and yelling. And having people clap for me and all this other stuff like I don't know what happened.But I told her, hey, i'm just trying to tell you the food was not that good that I only had.The spring rolls i'm can pay for my food and she just started going off on me.I don't know what happened.I'm still dumbfounded.I sat there for like thirty minutes in the parking lot after I left trying to figure out what I just witnessed.And what just happened to me because I don't know what just happened to me, but she screamed.Yelled, belittled me in front of everybody in the restaurant.I will never eat there again.Not to mention the food was completely horrible.They've went downhill so bad.Stay awayIf you don't want to get food, poisoned or get sick, stay far away.

We had a group of ladies today. The service was great for a small restaurant at lunch rush. Was timely in bringing out our drink orders, served our soups with extra napkins, refilled drink glasses several times. Accommodated two late arrivals without a hitch while moving tables to seat them. We all had the lunch buffet. $12.30 for all you can eat with water to drink. Food was very good. I sampled almost everything on the hot food lines. The buffet lines were very clean. There was much to choose from on lines and lots of variety in fruit and desserts. What made this restaurant miss its mark was cleanliness. Being worn past it's prime can be overlooked as long as it doesn't feel dirty. But unfortunately, the tables were sticky, bathroom was not up to par, and the roof was leaking inside the dining room.

The food is always been top-notch quality the management. I have never had any problems in the past. Maybe today was a bad day but today management, very highly unprofessional telling me a lie that the food was being made when clearly on the buffet there was no area for the things that I had wanted mainly the wings. I then asked well could I place an order for wings and she told me it was gonna take a while and then I said that’s fine. I would still like to order it. She was a little hostile and getting aggravated yelling telling me I’m gonna have to wait and I said I understand and ask for the box back, but she wasn’t concerned with me. She was concerned about the other people that were coming into the store. They weren’t even in the restaurant yet. I am a customer at your front desk. You are supposed to be kind and courteous. I will never eat at China star again in my life.!!!!!!!!!!!!

We visited this restaurant for lunch today, and unfortunately, it will be our first and last time. From the outside, the building appeared neglected and almost condemned, setting low expectations. The interior was equally disappointing, with a level of uncleanliness that left me stunned the health department permits them to operate. Despite hearing positive remarks about the food, I was thoroughly let down. Some dishes tasted old and spoiled, while others were completely bland and flavorless. We couldn’t bring ourselves to finish our meals, so we paid and left.
Throughout our visit, the staff showed no interest in checking on our experience or ensuring our satisfaction. To make matters worse, within an hour of leaving, I began experiencing stomach discomfort, raising serious concerns about potential food poisoning. I strongly advise others to steer clear of this establishment.

Absolutely horrible. Rice was super salty, meat so old and hard you can't even chew it. Then when we complained about the old lady got extremely rude with my family
She told us we are wrong and we don't have to eat there. Never going back to that disgusting place. They just lost loyal customers.
