Star Buffet & Grill

The worst buffet ever. The food is just poorly made and tastes weird. For example, the fried rice was completely dried out and hard to eat. Their employees are really rude and their face expression are just annoying to look at. As a result this buffet doesn’t have what it takes to become a buffet. Wish I can give them a no star but I guess one star would do it. Please people read the review before coming to the place b/​c it will waste your hard earn money.

I don’t know what these people are talking about but this is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Because we don’t go there during prime dinner hours, our servers were extremely attentive and quite friendly. The food is very good with Chinese American and Japanese dishes. The quality and taste of the food is excellent. And, the price is right!

People came in screaming in chinese at the person taking our order and then rhey wouldnt take our seats because the asian people bribed them to take our seats

It was wicked cheap at $ 5.99 for lunch but I found nothing to be tasty. Everything had a vague, way in the distance off taste.
I took no second trip for the «greatest hits», as there was nothing I liked enough to get it again, and this included the hot and sour soup, which is usually my «dessert».

Well as you can tell from my other reviews that I try to give non biased reviews and are no means my personal opinions just the facts… with that being said the food here is good but typical Chinese buffet style with beef, pork, chicken and fish, salad bar, sushi, hibachi grill, deserts, etc the bad part is lack of service and the caring to make it right the whole time we were there it felt awkward like we were bothering them and disrupting their little
first when we got there they were smiling and sat us and got us drinks but that was the last we saw of our waitress until 30 – 45 mins later when I got up with 4 drink glasses to find the soda machine so I could fill them myself and then when the bill came she hovered over us waiting on a big tip… hu? For what ignoring us the whole night… me thinks
take this review for what it is food is good but the service is poor if you want to eat and book then by all means eat here but if your looking for family friendly atmosphere this is not the place… PS the 1 star is for the service not the food… the food gets 3 stars

Quite reasonably priced for lunch with a good selection of Chinese and American foods and a smattering of Japanese sushi and rolls. Fruit, desert and salad give you a balanced meal. and 6 choices of ice cream helped seal the deal. I thought that service was good and unobstrusive. It was packed with locals when I came for lunch on Saturday and I an see why. Well-​cooked entres and a great variety at a fantastic price make this a must come whenever I am in the area.

ok for a cheap lunch. decent variety. not very clean. i will never understand why businesses put carpet in restraunts and buffets. yuck.

Terrible terrible terrible terrible service!!! I wish I could give them zero stars!!! The wait staff is the rudest I have seen in all my years of going to a buffet! Then they speak their native language around you in a manner that would make anyone uncomfortable. Then they put shrimp out which was supposed to be for dinner… they actually came back in retrieved the shrimp that was on a separate plate! Yes that actually happened! I don’t usually write reviews but I needed to let unsuspecting patrons know to steer clear of this place! Worst buffet I have ever patronized!

$ 7 lunch, $ 10 dinner, and plenty of options and a great value (especially compared with the overpriced food across the street in the amusement park).
The steamed mussels and the coconut shrimp were great, the salmon steamed in just water not so much; plenty of options for everyone at the table, and at more than a reasonable price. I came here on a lunch break from Dutch Wonderland (just across the street) and left happy with different tastes alltogether.
I wouldn’t come here for the sushi or salad (it’s a Chinese buffet, I mean, really…), and I’ve always liked to eat a bit of everything.

Will definitely drive here from York for Chinese food. It’s much better than the buffets that are closer to us.

The place is smaller than I think it should be. It’s a little bit hard to move around when there are people taking food. Anyway, the food is good. I will come here again if I come to the outlet.

I did not enjoy the food here. Sushi was not good. Crawfish was dried and tasted old. If you want ice cream you have to scoop it yourself and it does not seem sanitary. The people at the hibachi were rude to my friend. I would not come back here based on taste and service.
If you want happy customers treat them right.

We wanted to try this restaurant because it was close to the outlet mall and it had more customers than other restaurants around there. Once we entered, the hostess greeted us in a «whatever» manner and then we had to wait for like 30 minutes for a table. The place is small so we got this table that was literally next to another table and the space was so tiny that we couldn’t even get out to get food without asking the people around us to move. The waitress was really slow on serving us.
The food was definitely a no no. The noodles and veggies were dry and had no flavors at all. My boyfriend tried the crawfishes and it was extremely dry and no flavors at all. I am a vegetarian so I decided to get myself noodles from hibachi since I can get all the vegetables with noodle. It was such a disappointment. I stood there for 15 minutes and the person worked in the back was too busy cutting sushi and did not acknowledge me at all even though he turned around to check on us. Five more minutes, someone else came out and he took an order from this white man behind me and I told him I was here first and I’ve been here for 20 mins and he told me to hold on. I was literally told him «do not tell me to hold up when I was here first and this white man came later, so why would you take his order before me?» I was really upset with the service and the hibachi chef literally took the order from the white man behind me rather than my order. What kind of service is that? I will definitely not planning to come back and do not recommend this place to anyone either. I never ever gotten this bad service before.

The place is OK. They like to hide dishes that are higher in cost like seafood. I found their seafood plates empty a lot. When I pay for dinner price, I expect there to be at least fish and clams. I am a seafood person. However, they don’t like to replenish seafood dishes. I stopped going there after that happened to me a few times. Their sushi is not bad tho.

Nothing too special, but for an $ 11 dinner it can’t be beat. A good variety of food, plenty of seafood, and a good mix of adventurous (octopus salad, sushi, etc) to expected (mash potatoes, french fries) …I was a happy camper.

I use to love this place, however lately the food just isn’t what it use to be so I stopped going a couple months ago. Not to mention the servers got really nasty!

This restaurant is always a must-​visit for me every time I am in Lancaster. I’ve been coming here for almost 20 years. While the buffet food may not always be the best, I always come for the mongolian grill… and that’s where I get my money’s worth. You pick what meat and toppings you want with your noodles (and for dinner you can get a steak as well, with it), add the sauce you want, maybe a hint of garlic for flavor, and a guy cooks it hot and fresh in front of you… it makes for a cheap filling lunch or dinner and is always excellent.
I’ve read the complaints in other reviews on here and yes sometimes the food is not as hot as it should be, silverware not as clean as it should be, etc but the truth is, I’ve seen more «local plates» in the parking lot than «out of state plates». If this place didn’t have good food, they wouldn’t have been able to survive in the location as long as they have when several other restaurants on the same stretch of highway have changed owners and styles of food many times over.
As long as this place is around, I will definitely keep coming back.

Came here after splitting a sub at Subway from Tanger.
Lunch crowd was in. In comparison to other chinese buffets, this sits at above average.
They have the typical foods but they tasted better.
Note it is pretty hard to miss. I believe it’s immediately after the right turn out of the Tanger Outlet center.

No need to look at the lot full of out of state vehicles if you check the local restaurant inspections in the newspaper to determine whether this place is worth going to. The lack of locals in the parking lot is the first sign. The second would be the long list of violations. Having ate here personally BEFORE reading the inspections now I know why everyone in our party left with belly aches. We are fortunate that we didn’t leave with something more serious. I once read an inspection violation where they tested positive for «fecal matter» at the buffet counter. Yuk! Nothing like having a side of poop with your fried rice.

One of the best Chinese buffets in the area. And very cheap!
