They have senior citizens lo W price meals and the food tastes great! The Crab Rangoon is excellent too, if some of the patrons don't fill their plates with them before you get any! lol read more

I started choking on the food, there were maggots in it and the service was kind of mad at us. The last thing is the fact that the ceiling was leaking! read more

Always good food, best in town. Never had an issue and have been going here since middle school.

The service is poor. They barely greeted us and told us where to sit. That was the extend of the service. Food is lukewarm, the buffet was terrible. There was no meat in the dishes. It looks like people picked the meat out of the prepared dishes and just left the veggies. What was available was not hot, not flavorful and there were no labels telling what food was what. Additionally, the area was very run down and looks like they don't care to maintenance and maintain what they have. Looks dated and dirty. To make matters worse, I couldn't find clean dishes to put my food on. I was starving and didn't even finish my meal is was so awful. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Got soooo sick from this place!!! Good was old and nasty tasted like it had been reheated from the day prior. Employees were so rude which made for a bad atmosphere. read more

This place is not the fanciest place but the bathrooms are clean and the staff get you seated right away and the food is amazing !! I've been to many Chinese places and the crab Rangoons here are to die for !! Everything is fresh and taste is good. Would recommend to anyone who wants good food at a decent price read more

See all

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Black Pepper Chicken is so good. Crab Rangoon have loads of filling and are super tasty!!! Went here right before they closed, and they asked us what we like and made it fresh. Very nice people. Good soft served ice cream. Only thing is sometimes their fountain machine is not working properly and the soda is sometimes not as carbonated cause I think they switch to a 2 liter. The price for their buffet is very reasonable. read more

China Diarrhea. Not feeling well at all. Three trips to the restroom. Will not be returning.

i have not had a bad experience. food is like a 6 out of 10 but for the price its the best you are going to get. the outside of the building looks like hell but its a 10$ buffet. best thing they have is the crab rangoon. its not real crab but most places dont have real crab. you can tell they make em in house because it folded over and not the basic four point rangoon that most places buy in bulk. they are a bit sweet and very rich. over all 8 out of 10 read more

Not even joking, a 1 star is a generous rating for this place. I ordered chicken fried rice and it was terrible. The rice look like it came out of a box and like the chicken was just cooked, cut and mixed in. There was no flavor. I ordered egg rolls and they gave me spring rolls instead. The sweet and sour sauce tasted very weird as well. The best thing about my meal was me deciding to not continue eating it. read more

Me and my family have been coming here for a while now and the food here never disappoints and is always consistent with good food for a great price. We have been to many Chinese restaurants up to the most expensive ones and this one tastes the best overall. The place might need some renovations and the service is fine it's not an over the top restaurant so they're not constantly checking on you but you don't really need to be checked on anyway love this place and can not stop recommending! read more

Decent food, and quick service. Not much of a section to choose from. It needs some remodeling, and it's dirty.

I never give a 1 star review, but this place messed up everything the one time I've been there. I only ordered takeout from there because their website had an online ordering option through Menufy. I ordered, showed up, and no one had received the order. So they charged me again, and I had to wait for my order. That aside, if the food was good, it would have made up for it. But it wasn't. The hot and sour soup was neither hot or sour. The egg rolls were super greasy. And the Kung Pao was super bland. And when they boxed up the order they didn't have the right size containers. So they crammed what they could in, and most of the Kung Pao spilled out in the bag. On the plus size, Menufy had them refund my credit card. So I was only charged once. read more

This place is a carbon-copy Chinese buffet. The menu is standard goopy American-Chinese, with little originality. Tickets are placed on trays yet we have to go to up to the register to pay. Huge paintings of Chinese landscapes hang on the walls. But there are a few things that keep me coming back once every month or two. First, the quality of the food is slightly above average. Second, the prices are among the best in town. Dinner currently runs $7.79 per person; lunch is $5.79. The buffet is fairly small. I think they've made a wise choice of limiting the selection a little bit so that they can keep the items freshly restocked. The food is generally on the sweet and oily side. The food is rarely bursting with flavor, but it's never bad. The spiciest item is the garlic chicken, and even that has only low-to-moderate heat. In 2013, the front-of-house staff appeared very stressed, almost on the verge of tears. In 2014, they've been notably less sad, but still tired-looking. Whatever is going on gives the place a negative vibe, and it makes me worry about the future of the restaurant. Quiet classical music and decent spacing between the tables makes it a good place for conversation. I've not noticed any significant health violations, but they were briefly shut down in late 2013 by the Health Department (see the "not recommended" review for details). read more

Got there and she just walked up to a table not even indicating she was seating us there. When we went to get food about half of the pans were empty. She told us to tell her which ones to cook. I told her and the food was just decent as if it was reheated. If you want to have a good experience with service and food I would not recommend coming here. read more

This place makes me sick LITERALLY. Im disgusted that not enough people know that this is a TERRIBLE place. It got CLOSED DOWN because of an F on a health inspection on multiple occasions and it should be again. I got sick from the STOMACH FLU when I ate their and on top of that the food and service are SHIT! If you want to make me sick at least be respectful. STAY AWAY read more

Not sure what all the obnoxious one star reviews are about, because this is one of my favorite Chinese buffets. First off is the price, you don't get this kind of value anywhere. Dinner is only $8.29, and there are plenty of things to eat here. Some of my favorite items are the fried chicken wings, sesame chicken, stuffed mushrooms, dumplings, and the crab rangoons are seriously the best crab rangoons I've ever had. And super rare for a chinese buffet is that the dumplings and rangoons are actually hand made and not the frozen variety. But really these guys take a lot of pride in their food. I saw the owner asking one of the customers how the food was and the customer actually got out of his seat to point out all the things he liked. The owner was just smiling and told him he was happy that he enjoyed the food. Now this is the kind of guy I want to dine with. Support this local family owned restaurant and give them a try. If you don't like it, well at least you can walk away knowing you didn't get ripped off. read more

i order my food 2 hours ago on uber eats and nothing is arriving the uber eats app keeps adding 10 plus minutes every 5 minutes, this service sucks read more

I'm not a fan of negative reviews but I had no choice on this one. The service was awful. Place was disorganized with stuff. Empty pans sitting around the Buffett areas. The staff literally could not speak any sort of English. Wouldn't even talk - AT ALL. Half of our drinks didn't show up & had to go get someone to help/ask 2 times for drinks. Never once came to our table to check in until she dropped off the check. Absolutely will never return to this Chinese Buffet ever again. read more

We went here for dinner tonight at 7:15 PM. The restaurant signs say they are open until 9PM. There wasn't much food out, and what was out was old. The pot sticks were dark and looked burned. There was no doughnuts, no jello, no cookies, and lots more. The lady asked 2 people what they wanted put out, and then she added like maybe 10 of that item (shrimp and chicken tenders?). I never got asked or I would told her of the trouble my husband has eating old food. It has to be moist and fresh (throat cancer). We used to come here more often before the virus, and this was first time back in over a year. What a disappointment. We will be looking for another Chinese restaurant to pop into now and then, but will not return here. I give this restaurant an UNSATISFACTORY rating. They should be ashamed not to stock their buffet. read more

It is cheap. That's the number one virtue of this place. You get what you pay for and the quality-value equation is about right. I walk in and the waitress fairly well acosts me before I get to a table and asks me what I want to drink. I ask for hot tea but get moderately warm tea. The warming table doesn't warm so act fast when the food is brought out. The food items vary in quality with the mushrooms being inedible. Two of my fellow diners probably fit this place's target market. Middle age white guys with long stringy gray hair and their baseball hats on backwards just gluttonizing. read more

I go a lot and there food is good and the staff is nice and quick. It's not too fancy but it's a good place to eat if your looking for a nice dinner read more

Been a while since I have been for lunch or dinner buffet at this location as I have moved to Northwest Omaha. Not as huge as China Buffet, or Grand China Buffet, but what they do, they do right. I usually order take out of their Mongolian Beef or Singapore Chow Mei Fun, and on a recent return, they have gotten better than I remember. Great food for a great price. read more

Twice I've stopped here at their advertised hours and they did not have food on the buffet at lunch and dinner it seems like they struggle to keep up very poorly managed Business and cooking staff God knows what goes on in the kitchen... read more

Great value--fresh food--smaller selection but ample and better than most. It was so good last week we decided to try it again. This is more than so-so for a $5.99 lunch, hot tea included! The food is fresh, tasty and of very good quality. The average joe doesn't understand what it takes to produce and maintain a good buffet at a very reasonable value. This place is full for a reason. You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal. I look forward to many repeat visits! Kudos also to the music selection--classical/instrumental--played at a level that is unobtrusive. read more

Wonderful take out for sure! I order from them through Door Dash. I will warn you that they give you so much food. I ordered the Shrimp Egg Foo Young and the Crab Rangoon and those could have easily been split among 3 people. Everything tasted great, and honestly, the Crab Rangoon is probably the best I've ever had. Full of cream cheese and crab mix, but sweet-tasting. read more

Came in TWO HOURS before they closed and they didn't want to make any more food.. they had 1 option for meat. ONE. Why do I still have to pay if there was nothing to eat? We stayed because we thought they would be bringing out more food, but after eating soup and waiting they told us they weren't making food for the rest of the night. Super pissed read more

Food was not remotely hot, for starters. There is no way this place would pass a health inspection!!! Selection was ok but nothing to write home about. The restaurant overall was not very clean. The area right behind the cash register was totally gross - I definitely will not be eating here again. Also, my customer service experience was the same as other negative reviews on here. I asked for water and didn't get it until the lady came out and looked at me awkwardly, asked if I needed anything, and I asked again for water. read more

Worst place I've ever eaten, the food was cold and it seem like they didn't want to bring out fresh food, it was very tasteless, rude customer service was just horrible read more

I ordered take out. They got my order completely wrong. I got white rice instead of fried rice, the wrong egg fu young, and the Lemmon chicken is the worst I ever had. The lemon chicken sauce is bitter and not sweet at all. The chicken for the lemon chicken is soggy. Plus the sauce/gravy for egg fu young is a red sweet like sauce...unless they gave me the wrong sauce. I eat a lot of Chinese and never been served that kind of sauce with egg fu young. The egg fu young was also like nothing I have ever had it was like a smushed up omelette. It was disgusting! The service was horrible as well and I wasn't offer led silverware on a takeout order. The one good thing was the Crab Rangoon as it was well made and quite good. Overall this is one of the worst Chinese food restaurants I have eaten at in the 40 states I have traveled to. read more

Worst I ever been to food was so cold and felt old and it felt like they didn't even cook it properly I feel so disgusted as I type this

This whole experience was crazy. I installed the Yelp app so I could have dinner delivered to my daughter's family as she has 6 kids and it was her oldest child's 10th birthday. Apparently I was wrong about Yelp because when I entered my whole order, there was no choice for any kind of delivery. So ..... I called this restaurant to place the order over the phone. The woman who answered jept putting me on hold and after everything I said, she would sorta yell "Is that all??". Then I told her 2 broccoli beefs (no other veggies) with fried rice, 2 orange chickens w/fried rice, 1 shrimp fried rice, 4 egg rolls and 2 orders of fried dumplings. Here's the text I received from my daughter when I asked her how it was ....... "I hate it and they got the order all messed up and the pot stickers (dumplings) were not fried and were super goopy. We didnt get any egg rolls at all (we paid for them) and the shrimp in the fried rice were not done all the way and the worst was that the beef in the broccoli beef was super tough. " Wow. What a disappointment. NEVER going there again. We wanted Ming's in Papillion but it was Sunday. read more

This is probably one of THE WORST buffets I've ever been too. First off the staff members were rude to me after forgetting half of my drinks, empty pans and napkins everywhere. While eating i watched a staff member use a visibly dirty bucket to dump ice into a pop machine. An to top it off I overheard another customer while I was there had found a bug in their food. Doesn't even deserve ONE star read more

OK, previous reviewer says only dinner buffet....must have been before they started offering the buffet for both lunch and dinner...and both are cheaper than dirt. In addition, if you're getting 'long in the tooth', ask for the senior discount, which makes it even cheaper. Although not as many choices as some of the Omaha 'mega-Chinese buffets', there's still plenty of food and it's kept refreshed frequently. read more

The staff is very rude, won't even tell you the amount you owe at the cash register. I was excited to see peanut butter chicken on the buffet but it was so greasy I could barely eat it. I had the soft serve ice cream to top off my awful meal and it tasted like fish. Unfortunately this is the closest chinese restaurant to my workplace, but I will definitely drive out of my way to avoid it! read more

Tasted like CRAP and the service sucked. BF wanted to try the place instead of the usual Chinese Buffet we like, I thought it was a bad idea, but hey,, let him get it out of his system. Walked in and the server just pointed at a table for us to go to. No "hello how are you " nothing. I know its not a 5 Star restaurant but you can at least great us properly. Asked us what we wanted to drink before we sat down. The "buffet" consist of two islands and one was mainly the appetizers, fruit and wilted lettuce. Not sure as what was suppose to be all on it considering a few of them remained empty the entire time we were there. Not much was marked so I was not sure what I chose but it was something chicken and it was cold. Don't know how the food can be cold when they were somewhat busy,, but maybe the warmers don't keep things warm. The crab ragoon was extremely sweet and I didn't care for it at all. The mushrooms were good until I got to the pork. wish they would of just left them plain. dumblings were the same way , good until I got to the hunk of pork in the middle of it. Not much to pick from which I wouldn't mind if it was good but it wasn't. My 7 year old chose the jello and Sweet and Sour chicken ( just the chicken not the sauce), he barley touched it. claimed he was full which is his way of saying something sucked The place had a slight smell to it when we walked in and it wasn't food. Almost like wet carpet, but it could of just been all the people cramped into a small space. Some of the space was full of silverware and items probably from the kitchen. Was taking back on how much they really did not care about the appearance of the place. No one, not once asked us how it was,, I would of told her the truth.. truth hurts, probably why she didn't ask... My stomach hurt walking out and I didn't eat much. Went home and my son ate left overs, I ate nothing , feel sick.... They really need to work on the service and keeping the food hot. Obviously I will never be back. ... read more

I like Chinese food that is not perfect. This place gives me all I can eat of it. The buffet doesn't start until 4:30 but i would wait until 5 because they are never ready when they say so. read more

The China Star Buffett isn't exactly a five-star joint, based on its latest inspection. Live cockroaches were seen crawling through the kitchen and, perhaps worse, raw chicken was piled on counters, sinks, and floors. George Wu told WOWT 6 News, "That was during the busy time around noon so they didn't got enough time to clean that and put away so there's some food we put on the floor." Inspectors ordered the restaurant to close, saying the entire business was contaminated. Two days later, following a thorough cleaning and re-inspection by the Health Department, China Star Buffett was allowed to reopen. Wu said, "We're not going to do that anymore and make sure customers have a safety place to go to eat we cleaned the whole restaurant."
