China Star

Driving to Atlanta, passed by here, $ 19.00 lunch for two including everything. Better than we expected. Recommend as average standard of Chinese buffet restaurant

During the spring months I am in Morehead at least twice a month with work. I usually eat lunch here. They have a large selection on their bars. They also have a salad bar. I used to love their broccoli salad even though it isn’t a Chinese dish. Someone began messing with the recipe last spring and it became unlikable. I complained and was told they had hired a new cook and she would pass my complaint on to the boss. The next time I went it was still made wrong. Oh well they have more than enough other good dishes to fill up on. They have quite a few seafood dishes and I don’t eat seafood. But l would recommend this place for a good Chinese buffet.

Food was great and the price too! Make sure to visit for their special on snow crabs on Friday and the weekend!

I need to preface this post by saying that I am absolutely not being sarcastic.
Have you ever been to a place that is so horrible that it is fantastic? Well, this is one of those places.
I love this place. I will most definitely go back when I am town.
The staff was very attentive and courteous. They were wonderful, honestly. They truly only want the best for their customers and really stand behind what they serve.
The options are awesome. There is the traditional Americanized Chinese fair, and there are more unique options when compared to other Chinese restaurants in the state.
Yet almost all of the food was old. You can tell that the kitchen staff put a lot of work and thought into each and every dish. You can tell that they take a lot of pride in their food. Yet it was all old and… bad.
It was so bad that it was good. It was like if Tommy Wiseau owned a Chinese restaurant and took it seriously, when in fact the food was not good at all. It was The Room of Chinese food.

Was pleasantly surprised! We were traveling home from the south and we stopped in Kentucky for some food. Choices were slim, and at first we exed out Chinese food in the middle of Kentucky. However, it was the lesser of all evils in the area. All I can say is I’m glad we stopped! We had their lunch buffet and it was pretty good. They had sushi and it was fresh and decent. The place was clean and everything was fresh. The buffet stayed stocked, the food looked appetizing and tasted good too. We love nice surprises!

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. They have different menus before 3:30 and on weekends. They offer crab on weekends, but there is a premium price and I really don’t think it’s worth it. Those thin little king crab legs are just too much work for too little meat. I think you’re limited to two servings of crab.
On the up side, contrary to what another reviewer wrote, I think their sushi is fine. The sashimi has always been fresh and they have several sushi choices. I like anything wrapped in tasty seaweed. I’ve eaten sushi all over the SF Bay Area, and all things considered, the rates well as far as buffet sushi goes.
They always have tasty fish broiled in butter. Yummy. I always get a big piece. They also often have mussels on their dinner buffet (not for lunch), and often have good sized iced shrimp as well. They offer fried won ton and plenty of sauces to spice up any dish.
On weekends they grill beef to order. It smells good, but I’m not a beef person so I can’t really give an opinion. They have all the usual Chinese suspects when it comes to buffet chicken, beef and pork entrees. Most have too much sauce for my taste, but they seem to be popular. The dinner menu sometimes features fried frog legs. They’re pretty tasty and I was kind of knocked-​back to find them on a small town buffet.
They have a good hot tea making machine and the soft-​serve ice cream is better than at another local Chinese buffet which will remain anonymous.
They recently raised their prices, which are high for this area, but won’t seem unreasonable to a tourist.

It truly saddens me to write this review because this place was once one of my favorite places. However, this place keeps going down hill and after the last visit here I am doubtful I will ever return. They are trying to offer fresh sushi by having someone there rolling rolls, but when I looked at the selection there were slices of grayish salmon on the selection bar (not sure salmon is suppose to be that color). The bathrooms are nasty too! I thought maybe it was just a fluke they were as bad as they were, but then after another visit, and seeing the bathroom in even worse shape YUCK! The food on the buffet is still the same food as always, but not sure it is worth the hike in price. :(so so sad.

God awful Chinese — The first time I thought the chef may have been having a bad day, but the second time confirmed my worst fears ! There is no decent Chinese food in morehead (the two restaurants are owned by the same person)
