Ocean Star Buffet

I was craving a little bit of everything and this place was conveniently nearby. Honestly after reading the abysmal reviews I drove here full of dread but I was too lazy to drive further elsewhere. Actually I was pleasantly surprised, the food was decent to good and everything looked to be well kept and stocked. Some of the food was very tasty, the ice cream is really really good here, the crawfish is overcooked but the seasoning was excellent (very spicy) and the fried crab wasn't pretty good if a little bland. They have oysters here but they don't put them out too frequently, and when they do the oysters look and taste ok (to be fair, it is currently spawning season for oysters so no where you get them they will taste a little different than they do normally). Overall excellent value considering how ridiculously cheap dinner here is (12).

As I walked into China Star I had very high hopes due to the many positive things I heard about it, but I was just a little bit let down. First of all the service was actually pretty good, our server directed us to our table and served us our drinks with no problem. As I eagerly looked around, the food looked extremely warm and juicy, but most of it was sadly room temperature or cold. The general tso’s chicken was just cold and bland, which was the fact for most other of the meats. The sweet and sour chicken was a bit hard, suffering from being room temperature. The seafood casserole was also very cold, as well as the fried items. Most of the problems with this buffet was the freshness, none of the food was warm or juicy. Some of the highlights included the pepper steak which despite being a bit cold, had a pretty decent flavor. The dessert station was also just decent, consisting of ice cream, banana with fruit sauce, (which was quite nice), and jell-o. Overall this is not the worst buffet I have been to, but it is far from the best.

I have been coming to this restaurant since 4 years ago with my family , we all love their food especially the shrimp soup and grill , THE NICEST STAFF I EVER SEEN BEFORE , ESPECIALLY ANNIE AND GEORGE , There are a lot of suppose to be"nice" restaurants around but my kids , wife and I prefer to come here because we feel comfortable and the most important thing: we eat really good.
