Asian Star Buffet

Got there early and the food line was really pretty. Food tasted as good as it looked and the service was excellent. The young lady waiting tables was very attentive and made sure Our tea glasses were filled and old plates were removed promptly.

If you love yourself, don’t do it. If you don’t love yourself than you better hope your insurance covers for major major diarrhea after eating here.

Please hello my name is Maurice I went to eat dinner with my daughter and my son it was the worst dinner I’ve ever had in my life the sushi was hot the hot stuff was cold the service was ridiculous the crab legs the gentleman that brought out the crab legs put off six crabs leg and then he staring at everybody because we couldn’t take more than one he wouldn’t let us the place is awful it’s dirty the food stinks the people are nasty and its not only overpriced but it should be close down I don’t recommend it to anyone at all for any reason and good luck to whoever is there and comes out alive

Loved sushi with cream cheese inside. Good selections of food. Fresh taste. Ennjiyed it.

Pretty much your standard buffet. I asked for sweet tea as my drink and I’m not sure what I actually received. It was brown and sugary but didn’t taste much like ice tea. But they quickly replaced it with diet soda which was fine. As with most buffets, the food is kind of bland, but it wasn’t bad. The sushi was obviously old and not much of a selection. I didn’t try the hibachi but it looked like a good selection of chicken and beef available. The hot and sour soup was very thick like it had been there awhile but tasted OK. All in all, the hot food was good but nothing to rave about. They had a good selection of deserts and all of it was tasty.
The staff was friendly and helpful. They were quick to remove your used plates and refill your drink. The restaurant was nicely decorated and well lit.

I’m new to the area and was looking for a new Chinese buffet. I stopped in here this afternoon and really enjoyed it. The staff was fairly friendly. The place was clean and simple. The food was hot and well stocked. They had a lot of options and several things i hadn’t tried or wasn’t used to seeing on a buffet. I really liked the sesame chicken and snow shrimp. The spring rolls and lo mein were so-​so. The fried was very bland and tasteless. Might as well has been plain rice. But all in all I was satisfied and will return.

Yum yum yum! Great food, fresh and tasty. Great staff and clean restaurant. The macaroons are to die for!

This is the second time I have visited this buffet. It has been very good each time. Everything is always fresh and hot. The lemon chicken is sensational. The snow shrimp (coconut shrimp) is nicely flavored and the shrimp cooked perfectly.
The hot and sour soup is decent. Overall for the price a great deal.

I went there today with my «blind» friend & his seeing eye dog. The manager tried to make us sit in the furthest corner booth, away from the food; after first telling us we could not have the dog in the restaurant! I refused to be seated so far away & requested to sit closer so that I could get my friend to & from the food easier. Other customers asked what the issue was& I told them. They were all just as discusted as I was. I will tell ALL my friends about this restaurant & I guarantee they will tell their friends. I will NEVER go there again! Worst experience ever!!!

We decided to try this place on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. For the price, ($ 6.65 seniors), we give it 4 stars. For The food, which is average, we give 3 stars. There are several seafood offerings (mussels, salmon, white fish, shrimp) and I was surprised the cost was so low. Although the stir fry selection was displayed, there was no one tending the station the entire time we were there. Sushi selection was minimal yet sufficient. Biggest complaint is most of the chicken dishes were deep fried, no doubt to fill up the customer. Most of the pans were full and there were a few that had been sitting too long and dried up. There 7 different stalls to choose from; salads, 2 stalls of hot food, soups and 2 choices of diem sum, sushi, seafood and desserts. The wait staff are pleasant and clear your dishes quickly from the table. We would return if we needed to gorge ourselves.

In my experience, all chinese buffets start out good and then deteriorate, like the previous occupants of this space. These folks are new and, right now, they are VERY GOOD. They were not busy, and normally, that being true, I’d drive by, but I pulled in. Seated right away, staff seemed engaged. Priced moderately for lunch. Large Sushi display and Mongolian grill, neither my thing so no comment .The rest was very good, all the standards, the only fail being the egg foo young (flavorless, even with gravy) I like condiments and the hot mustard had more heat than the wasabi, strange but true. Staff clears away debris right away, and the carpet is still clean. I hope they get busy and stay good. Right now I’d return and recommend. BTW, even though the restaurant was lightly populated, they had a steady stream of take out customers, so I’m not the only one that thinks they are doing good stuff right now.

I have been a fan of the Pacific Seafood Buffet in Chandler for years and was excited to hear about a new competitor in Mesa! My wife and I tried them out a few days ago, a good piece out in east Mesa. It was a Friday evening about 6pm and I expected them to be very busy but they were almost empty. They are located close to the local retirement community and mostly seniors were eating there. It’s clean and bright and service is attentive. The staff regularly refreshed the food trays and someone was always sweeping the floor. The food area was about half the size of Pacific Seafood and their sushi section was a lot smaller.
We went there especially for the sushi and were a bit disappointed at the variety. The sashimi was fresh and basically salmon and tuna, tasted very good but a lot of the sides we enjoy were lacking. The rolls were nice, 3 different types. No nigiri, no kimchi, no various Japanese salad items were to be found. I thought the hot and sour soup didn’t have much flavor or heat like that of PSB. The steamed salmon didn’t have much taste. The best hot seafood dish there was wonderful tiny «Snow Shrimp». The sesame balls were dry and practically empty and the soft ice cream was rather icy.
The lemon chicken was tart and dry. I’m sorry to say I won’t be back. The food overall was rather mediocre. At least it was several dollars less than my favorite PSB. This kind of food becomes a very personal taste and I think you should give them a try, you just might like it like many have!!!

Terrible. Just terrible. No flavor. The only thing good was deep fried dough balls in sugar. The snow shrimp was good. Overall if I could give it 0 stars I would. Barf.

Let me start by saying that we are not food snobs, don’t have the most sophisticated palates, and are pretty easy to please.
However, I’m not sure how there are so many 4 and 5 star reviews for this place. My wife and I went there for dinner tonight and were very disappointed.
First the good: the restaurant appeared clean, was attractively furnished, and the staff was friendly and attentive.
The bad: maybe we picked a bad time to go but almost everything was clearly old, soggy, stale, rubbery, dry, or whatever particular problem that item gets when it’s been out on a steam table for hours.
The ugly: before we even left the restaurant, we BOTH had explosive diarrhea. Awful, horrible diarrhea. We compared notes and it turns out that there was nothing that we both ate there. We have pretty different tastes in Chinese food. We can only conclude that more than one of the dishes served this evening was tainted with something. Maybe this was a one time thing. We’ll never know. We won’t be back.

Awsome! Best buffet yet! Very attutive staff, very clean booths, tables, bathrooms and walls. Staff is constantly bringing out fresh food even if the tray is not empty. Food quality is also great typical asian menu with better quality.

This place is brand new so the area is still really clean. Is it weird that I noticed that first? Anyway, we were seated quickly and the waitress was nice and spoke Chinese (we spoke Chinese back don’t worry. the point I’m making is that there is a high degree of authenticity here).
Food looked fresh and delicious and not like it had been sitting out for a long length of time. Everything was delicious but they get 5 stars for excellent sushi and oysters. There oysters are seriously good quality for the price. I’d expect o pay $ 10 for a half dozen.
So if you like fresh seafood, this is the place to go. Everything else here is just pretty good and standard buffet food but the seafood gives it 5 stars and makes it better than Pacific Buffet.

I do not know how this place has a 5 star rating, only reason I went here, but clearly just friends of the owner doing reviews, first Chinese buffet where I didn’t finish at least half of my 2 plates, sushi was horrible and everything else was either old or gross, best item was the rice, I’ll stick to Panda Express where I’ve never been disappointed

This is by far the best buffet in the east valley. The food is fantastic I will be eating here more often. I suggest you come in give it a try and see for yourself. A lot of the sauces that they have to put on the food is homemade. Definitely worth the trip.

The food is amazing as well the service. Im not a big fan of their mushrooms nor shrimp. Im not one to judge on fish because i find it disgusting. Very elegant and tasteful place. Great for the family or yourself!

Just ate there for lunch and we’re very happy we did. Food is served in a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Servers were attentive & efficient. Price was surprisingly low for the quality & quantity of the meal.
We will certainly be back. :)
