Food is average but not bad for the price though BAD SERVICE waiters don't get the plates immediately you have to put them on a vacant table near you if there's one available or else it will pile up in your table hehhe. read more

This place is no 5 star buffet. But if you are looking for a value buffet, (6.99) lunch Mon.-Thur. deal This is the place. Many choices, along with a cook now station and awesome soft ice cream and the best chocolate fountain(tatse like herseys shell, not the cheap waxx stuff). We go for lunch mid week, weekly! read more

This is probably the worst place to eat Asian food the food is not that great. The staff is rude and forces you to tip them on top of it. The restrooms are dirty no toilet seat covers, trash everywhere on the floor. AVOID AVOID AVOID do not eat here guys is not worth your money. To top it off mosquitoes are flying on top of the food. Ugh read more

At the time of writing this, the restaurant is rated at 2.5 stars and that's an accurate rating. We went with a table of 11 so were seated one of the larger tables in the middle. The floor under the table was filthy. There were still straw wrappers, napkins, and food droppings underneath the table. The utensils we were given had been haphazardly washed and had dried food on them. The food just wasn't good. It lacked flavor and could've been outdone by Panda Express. They had one pair of tongs at the sushi station which resorted to the patrons having to use their fingers to pick up the sushi and serve themselves. The sushi wasn't exactly I'd call "fresh" either. The dessert bar also left a lot to be desired as most of the cakes and cookies were stale. I came because I was outvoted with my group, but now that I've been here, I don't see myself returning ever again. I can't say this place is "good for the price" since it's only $13/person. It's just not good. I could've had better cheap food elsewhere. read more

For the price and selection this place is a must. It's an Asian buffet, yes the food will be cooked with oil but who cares. It's still good. The service is good. Would definitely come back especially during the weekday lunch special read more

Very disappointed in this spot! The food wasn't fresh and the waitress put our check on the table when we weren't even done eating, so my bf and I felt rushed! The thing that really upset me was when I got a slice of pizza and it smelled and tasted like rotten milk and feet! I told my bf to smell it because at first I thought it was just me. He took a whiff and the dude almost barfed! We called the waitress over to tell her about the pizza and so she can smell it herself but she refused to and called her manager instead. The manager came and when we told him about the pizza he smelled it and said "no I don't smell anything, that's the wheat bread we make fresh pizza everyday". Then he proceeded to grab a slice of his own and took a bite of it and was like "see nothing is wrong with it, look at me I'm eating it if something was wrong with it I wouldn't eat it myself." Major eye roll! Soon as he leaves our table he throws his pizza away! Then when we leave and pay, he still insists that the pizza was fine and that that's how it should taste,and that maybe it was just the way the cheese smelled. My only reply was , " I've never had pizza that smells and tastes like rotten milk :( smh he could have apologized and all he offered was a new slice of the same pizza. Uhm wtf ew no I don't want your nasty ass rotten pizza! The least he could have done was give us a discount. Worst $30 spent ever! read more

Great value food is good, plentiful, fresh and service pleasant and friendly. Good seafood the your buck. I highly recommend It!

This was No Bueno. The food made our stomachs upset and the lady behind the buffet counter was on her phone. When I asked her about the chow mein station , she looked at me and turned around and proceeded to ignore me. Never coming here again. read more

This place was good, the food was fresh and they had a very big selection of different things, Sushi, Chinese, Mongolian and a section with pastries. The place was clean and spacious, the staff was very nice and helpful. The price was great as well. Definitely would come back. read more

Love their sushi variety and their Mongolian corner. The rest of the food is decent/ok.

The food is good, and they are in constant rotation... but they REALLY need to do something about the cleanliness of their restroom, it's disgusting, I don't understand how people can be so nasty and inconsiderate... if you would not do it in your own home do t do it at all read more

Do not eat here!!!! None of the food is fresh all old and gross. When I ask for them to put fresh food out they just looked around and nothing was put out very nasty do not waste your money read more

Asian Star Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Paramount, California

This overall review for my overall experience I had for my very time experience here! SMMFH!! Took my parents here for first time since its closer to home and saw that the reviews are decent. We actually had a good time. Food was good ,place was so clean, ambiance is nice. But its a buffet ...would you close the damn door so the freaking flies so dont come in!!!! Fucking gross flies all over the food smh.... the restroom is so dirty and shit. Looks nice outside but please take care of your restrooms. Got our check, chilling and eating our fortune cookie before paying....UNTIL!!!! This bitch! Our waitress decides to come in, not until after 2 minutes and ask us "are you gonna pay?"......no shit im gonna pay!? "Are you gonna tip? 10%?" .....WTF!!! Tip is out of courtesy! Smmfh.....ruin my fucking experience. ...chilling with our ice cream and then just about to leave, she comes up to us again! "Oh you HAVE to tip, 10%"....looking desperate and scared at the same time....wow unbelievable!! You aint gonna get tip when u keep hustling for it! "I work hard, i serve all of you" ...uhm thats your job to serve...tip you get from generosity and earning it, which you just lost! Because you're rude! Uh buh bye!! Never coming here again because of her ass and the nasty fucking flies flying everywhere. Its good price but i rather pay a couple more bucks for better quality, service! GOODBYE! read more

i love an asian buffet just as much as the next person but most of the food is either overcooked, bland or just plain not good. they have a smaller variety of popular asian dishes available but they have a decent mongolian bbq station. most of the food is just bland and soggy at best the orange chicken is hot and the rice is good. this place sadly is medicore at best. shame because its a great location and size for a buffet. read more

This place is A-Ok. It is not top of the line, but they do have all of the essentials including sushi, a mongolian grill, orange chicken, and limited seafood. The furniture may have a few dings and rips, but the place seemed clean enough. Service was good and the food on the buffet was rotated regularly. read more

If I could write this place zero stars u would because the service is just stupid this place is the worst buffet that I have ever had in my life and I love to eat. First of all the first was okay at first when I looked at it but I saw a fly land of almost every food that they served and the food was cold the soup was plain and the server was bad. She kept coming back asking for tip. My girlfriend and her family ate there it was a group of 6 people and she kept asking oh no tip? 10% and blabbed on about how she works hard and she wants more tip but the tip is based on the service that the workers give and the quality of the food. I really rarely write reviews and this place was just nasty and shitty service I advise the readers of this review to think twice about coming to the buffet thank you for your time read more

This place was gross, every dish was a chicken dish. My water had debri, Cheap as hell, you get what you pay for. Everyone in the place looked like an Obama supporter. read more

The food and prices are great, but I've only had rude customer service from the waitresses. I have had one positive experience with a host, but unfortunately I did not get his name, that guy he is cool, but sadly that's it. I've even witnessed a waitress yell at someone's kid on two separate occasions for trying to get jello or something. read more

This is my first bad review. I will not come here again. The service sucked! The waitress dropped off drinks and took flight. Never asked us for a refill. The bathroom is stinky and could be cleaned and remodeled! The food was okay... but I won't come back. read more

I don't know why People complain so much about this joint... For being a Chinese buffet it is by far way better then any other Chinese buffet there is Around in the area I.e. lynwood, Huntington park? now that place is JUNK!!! The service was great, waitress kept our table clean and drinks filled even spoke spanish!! (brownie points) honored yelp check in saved a whopping $4!! Better then nothing! (couponing) for a family of 4 we ate at a good price. We all got what our gutts desired... Sushi: Good selection and it was fresh hot food: soft fried rice, perfect cooked broccoli, teriyaki chicken on point, coconut sweet.shrimp excellent!! fried shrimp, chicken on a stick... Craw fish were good not fishy at all! Needless to say our experience was WONDERFUL!! Definitely will be coming back. Best buffet experience by far.... If you expect something more"highclass" take yourself to Beverly hills or something... Restroom : CLEAN AND WELL STOCKED!! read more

I think we found our new favorite buffet place. Took the family here for lunch and everyone was satisfied. Too bad we forgot to take photos for our fellow yelpers to view. The service was really good for an Asian establishment. Overall, fresh food, decent price and clean, but it is a new restaurant. Only time will tell how they will hold up. read more

Finally an Asian buffet worth eating at and most definitely worth talking about. Located in a spot where the old Goodwill used to be. The best part is that the food is 100x better than Eastern Buffet around the corner and the give FREE refills for drinks. Also this place can be used for private parties. Elegant and upscale looking, very clean, excellent service and more edible options. Fried frog legs, coconut shrimp, fried shrimp, crawfish, salmon, sushi, dessert, Mongolian BBQ, Dumplings. The whole 9 yards. And their french fries are just as addictive as the ones from McDonald's. However like most buffets the sushi is a hit and miss. Only good thing was the ginger. IMO it is among if not THE BEST buffet in the 562. I will be back as long as it is in business and the quality remains on point. FYI they do offer the buffet to go. $4.59 per lb regular with no seafood, $5.99 regular & seafood, $7.59 seafood and sushi. And look out for the 10% coupon from the Pennysaver. read more

great food . the sushi is sooo fresh......and they have a lot of items that you can eat....service is great will recomented to my friends and family read more

See all

They give you a good quality for the price. Just as good or better than competitors like King Buffet. The waiters are quiet, which is kind of good because you don't want to waste eating energy talking lol. Just eat a lot quick since they charge you more after 2 hours. read more

We have been to this wonderful economical buffet for lunch, and have not had any problems. You have to go there early to take advantage of all the food catered at this place. I just called the restaurant to confirm that they are continuing to offer the $4.99 lunch buffet, the person that answered the phone answered all my questions. Another patron indicated that they charge for a tip and that when ordering drinks that you dont get refills, I was reassured that the tip is voluntary and that the restaurant offers as many refills as you like. You cant beat the cost to have a nice meal, everything is tasty and they have a very clean environment. No problems. read more

Their $5.99 lunch buffet is extraordinary. I don't know how that can hold to that low price: Mongolian BBQ, sushi, sweet pork chops, Japanese chicken, salad, great dessert and 4 flavors of frozen yogurt. A gourmet restaurant with Go urmand quantities at a bargain price. read more

The food is actually not that bad, what is bad is the service. It's just TERRIBLE. Because this buffet is cheap, they try to kick people out unashamedly so they wouldn't eat too much. Believe it or not, but when I was leaving the waitress forcefully took the glass with Pepsi out of my hand so the straw stayed in my mouth... I was so overwhelmed I couldn't even protest. So if you still want to visit this place make sure you eat fast ;) read more

Food was good. The service could use a lot of work. They don't come by to ask if you need a refill and they also don't give you extra utensils after they take yours away with the plate. If you need to use the restroom, you're better off going to the Stater Bros across the parking lot. They don't have toilet seat covers and even if they did, the restrooms are disgusting and wouldn't want to go in there. read more

This place is a dump ... nasty ass plastic tasting Fucken octopus ... dried up shrimp ...dry ass Fucken kalbi ribs... in no way wanted no damn discount ... left this place pissed but was still nice ... 100 thumbs downnnn read more

As good as it gets if you're looking for a ton of variety (like me) for little dinero ($5 for lunch?!) Doesn't mean you have to eat the whole bar, but there are a ton of choices, and they are not sketchy as far as sanitation goes, unlike some Chinese buffets. Do it. read more

This place is like any other Chinese buffet that I've been too. It's very spacious. And it wasn't busy on a Saturday afternoon . It was first time here and I had a good experience I would be back if I'm in the area and hungry. My mom went to the restroom and did say it was dirty. read more

Very Unsafe place to eat...! Really! ON Tuesday 11/29/2016 at about 5:22 p.m. dinner time, on my way home I stopped at the Asian Star Buffet for a quick dinner before home as I have done many, many time before. My last few visits the food quality had diminish and the food temperature have not been controlled by their employees and I have mentioned to the staff (specially the mid age Chinese woman maintaining the serving line with a long semi-pony tail hair). Yesterday I took soup (tofu with shrimps) although I stirred before served onto my soup cup the soup was lukewarm (not even close to a decent/safe 135º F, time and temperature?) and It was just the beginning of diner time? I served rice, noodles, teriyaki chicken, broccoli beef, fry calamari and cheese stuffed wanton on my plate. I try the rice, cold! The noodles, cold! The teriyaki chicken, cold! The beef-broccoli death cold! I got out of my both walked to the mid age Chinese woman keeping the food looking good...and told her, excuses me all the items that I serve in my plate are cold! She oh sorry, thank you and walked to the back kitchen...I returned to my seat and grab a bite of the fry calamari that besides it was also death cold (not even lukewarm, right from their serving line during the beginning of their dinner time) is was wrapped in a more than a 12 inches long black hair that I felt after few chews like a string in my mouth, spitted out onto my plate full with the other items that I did not eat because they were cold. I walked to the front desk to the gal who greet me and sat me at the booth and asked if they had a manager in site, your food is all cold (I did not even mentioned the hair, I wanted a manager) then suddenly she does not speak English...one of the servers (who knows me coming here regularly) came to me, I told her the same about the food been cold but nothing about the hair in my food. At my both she suddenly does not speak English and no manager on site. I sat on the both and from the food that I just spitted out of my mouth in front of the server, I pulled the hair chewed with the calamari and even more gross the long hair continue to the rest of the fry calamari when I lifted onto the hair, the couple sitting next to my both can't believe how long that hair was (they were eating only Sushi) and cold fruit....! Then, suddenly the server who do not speak English, she spoke English, after I told her "you know me coming here for long time", she said let me call my manager, she walked back to me and said manager is coming, Don't Paid the food..! I told her...paid? ....I don't even going to eat and I will not eat this unsafe food. Her manager was not in the facility but he was coming to. I got up and left that place. Now, I try to contact this company, I research in the internet and found a bogus website that direct you to a bunch of links-webs....! And calling their number is no worth. To the real point of this issue!................. FOOD SAFETY and FOOD QUALITY ....................... I wish I can posted here and to the public, the pictures of my plate with the long black hair of over 12 inches in length...embedded, rolled, twisted with the cold fry calamari that I placed in my plate and give a few chews...disgusting and just a simple example of the poor hygienic and food safety practices in this location, in addition with the below poor quality of their food...! I am a ServSafe Food Protection Manager, a ServSafe Instructor and Registered ServSafe Examination Proctor with over 25 years experience managing all types of food operations with a major focus on quality and food safety, additionally been a Chef for many years and holding an State Certification for food services operations place me in a position to express my professional opinions without bias, just the simple facts...! I am going to make it simple... Q1-You arrives at a buffet place at 5:20 p.m. right at the beginning of their dinner rush...you put 6 items on your plate and a soup, quickly sit to start eating (that way you stopped there, for a fresh, tasty, hot food) taste the soup, lukewarm, 5 item of the 6 are cold (not even lukewarm)? A1 This establishment had a low core lever of professionalism, no controls and are mixing their lunch left over with the new fresh items to safe cost. Q2-You take a bite of an item you always eat and like, but right after 2 or 3 chews you felt something strange and find out there is a more that a 12 inches in length black hair coming from the food you have in your mouth into your plate? A2- The hygiene practices of the staff in this location is an unknown subject for them as well as no important subject for the organization they work for. Serving unsafe foods were time and temperature have been compromised and mishandled with no hygienic and safety controls is a crime against the public. Exercise your rights, know the facts! An affordable meal, doesn't have to be poor quality and unsafe! read more

This place used to be one of my favorites. Today they served spoiled Peach's. Advised mgr I had eaten it and felt woozie. Manager told me if I got sick... bring hospital bill back to him. Huh? It smelled like sewage. It was rotten. I complained and they said it was a bad batch. But that wasn't the problem as one of the previous comments stated ... the waitress was rude and demanded a tip. I had my wallet in my hand ready to open it but told her if she was going to demand a tip... forget it. I put it back in my purse. First time ever that a waitress had her hands on hip with nasty attitude. I wrote zero tip on transaction intending to give her cash. She demanded "you give me tip" informed manager and he said that she should never have said that. He looked angry then turned around and went looking for her. I left. Time to find somewhere with good service. BTW, food really isn't that bad. Just the waitress! read more

Im sorry that people knock this place for poor service. It's a friggin buffet!!!! Serve yourself. At $4.99 for all you can eat its the best deal in the state.I am plenty full and satisfied every time I go there. The food is higher quality than kings buffet on rosecrans and much cheaper. Nuff said!!! read more

Yummy delicious and so many selection. The special lunch buffet only $5.99 is unbeatable and the dinner is inexpensive too with so many seafood selections! Always been my favorite guilty pleasure for years read more

I have been in this place multiple times. The prices are higher now than when they first opened. Compare to other similar buffet restaurants, Asian Star Buffet prices are still reasonable. Their to-go food prices are good! Food is fine and service is fine. I would come back. read more

Ate here on a Saturday lunch with brother and mother. The food was good and the place was clean. I liked the teriyaki chicken and everything else. We all loved it and we will come back again. read more

Pretty good food for a reasonably cheap price. I went there and only had their seafood and they had enough variety to keep me full and happy for the night wasn't too loud or busy and the waiters and waitresses are pretty nice read more
