Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and kept our drinks filled while making sure our table had everything we needed. The customer service was easily the highlight of the visit. Since it's a buffet, there was a nice variety of food to choose from. They had classic Chinese favorites, seafood, noodles, fried rice, dumplings, desserts, and more. I tried a little bit of everything, and while nothing really stood out as exceptional, everything was fresh, hot, and perfectly acceptable. It was a solid buffet experience without any major complaints. The restaurant itself was clean, and the buffet stations stayed organized even during the lunch rush. Food was refilled regularly, so there was never much waiting for fresh items. If I had to rate the food alone, I'd say it was average. It wasn't the best buffet I've had, but it wasn't disappointing either. The real reason I'd come back is because of the excellent service. The staff treated our entire group with kindness and professionalism, which made the lunch enjoyable. Overall, Pacific Fusion is a good option if you're looking for a buffet with plenty of choices and outstanding customer service. It's also a great place for larger groups since they handled our party of eight with ease. I'd definitely return, especially for another work lunch.

Great food and very friendly staff. We used to frequent all the local Asian restaurants in bartlett but now we almost strictly eat here. I recommend the deep fried sushi. Delicious! They have an amazing repertoire of sushi. We eat here at least once a week and their menu is so big that it never gets old. The actual restaurant itself used to be a country/home style restaurant and still sports some of their decor- particularly an entire wall dedicated to U S. Military veteran's portraits. Not exactly what you'd expect to see at an oriental restaurant, but in my opinion that just adds character. Give it a try! read more

I am an entertainer and travel extensively, both nationally and abroad, but call Memphis my home. My favorite food is sushi and from my travels I can honestly say that Asian Star is one of the worlds best when it comes to Sushi. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but what's inside will blow your mind and your taste buds. While most places charge 7.00 or more per roll for a spicy tuna roll and give you six pieces, at Asian Star you get eight pieces for under 5.00. You've tried the rest, now try the best! read more

When I moved to Memphis I was disappointed with most of the Chinese restaurants we tried. All the places we tried were either way too nice/expensive for take out (like Mulans) or just not very high quality. I was so happy to finally find this place tucked away in Bartlett!!

The quality of the food is the main reason I am taking the time to leave this feedback. My one concern is the restaurant's use of plastic containers for hot food, especially containers that appear to be reused multiple times. Repeated washing, heating, and everyday wear can cause many types of plastic to break down over time. As plastic ages, it can develop tiny cracks, become brittle, and potentially release microscopic plastic particles into food. Scientific studies have shown that heat can increase the migration of chemicals and microplastic particles from certain plastics into food and beverages. While the amount can vary depending on the type of plastic and temperature involved, serving very hot food in older, repeatedly used plastic containers may not be the healthiest option for customers. Beyond the potential health concerns, reused plastic containers can retain stains, odors, and bacteria if they are not properly sanitized. Because the food is so good, I would encourage the restaurant to consider using higher-quality heat-safe containers or more environmentally friendly alternatives. Doing so would better reflect the quality of the food being served and demonstrate a stronger commitment to customer health and safety. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would recommend it. I simply hope the restaurant considers upgrading its food containers, as that was the only aspect of my experience that raised concern.

Chicken with broccoli - I specially asked for this in garlic sauce and they did just that so thank you so much, this goes into the second star of the review. This meal was fine as well.

Starting with the soup, it lacked flavor, the dumplings were doughy and undercooked however I did enjoy all the veggies and pork pieces in side the soup especially the actual fried wontons. Unfortunately the dumplings were undercooked and I couldn't finish due to the gummy and chewy texture of the dough.
