Busy but nice place for a buffet. People are nice and very attentive. The buffet has a lot of variety and very good. I love the mango salad they offered. There's also salt and pepper crabs and the food is always clean and warm. read more

This place is almost an hour away from home. So I was skeptical about trying it but since my entire family was hungry we took a huge chance. Needless to say they had options every one of us would love. Only one bad thing I would say is that the waiters are pushy.. i was asked to pay like 10 times as if I was leaving read more

E Star - Even baby found something to enjoy!! - Buffets Near Me - Houston, Texas

VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!!! These photos are of the MANAGER! My mom and I went for dinner and everything was good until my mom found a hair in her food. We spoke to the manager. He said it couldn't have been his staff cause they all wore hair nets and that this happens because it's an open buffet. We stopped eating and let it go! Once leaving my mom offered to pay. So I told her I'd wait outside. She didn't have enough, but gave more than half the bill, so she came out to ask me for the rest. When I look up, the woman in the photo with her back turned had walked out and was recording us. I walked back inside and gave the remaining $7! I proceed to ask her to delete the recording and she says not until I pay, WITH OUR MONEY IN HER HAND. I begin to speak with the manager and explain to him that none of what she did was necessary. He then says if my mom wouldn't have walked out then they wouldn't have recorded. I told him I would like an apology for making us feel like thieves when that wasn't the case. He never once apologized and then claimed that I ONLY came back because I was being recorded and we didn't pay. EVEN WHEN I HAD THE RECEIPT IN MY HAND FROM PAYING AND HE WAS STANDING THERE WHILE WE WERE PAYING!! He then tells me they're gonna take a picture of us for not paying and that we won't be able to come back! WHILE IM SHOWING HIM THE RECEIPT FROM A FULLY PAID BILL IN MY HAND! And that's right a FULL bill no discount for the hair found in our food! read more

It's been about 7 years since my last visit and one thing I remembered was that the service is number one followed by the food in how horrible it is. I went here with the church family and all the adults left with a sour feeling. For one the waitress, didn't believe us when we shared that the kids were under 12, she went to try to card each child. All the food tastes bland, this space gets the experience of a Chinese buffet but not the taste. I will never come back here read more

E Star - Buffets Near Me - Houston, Texas

E-Star has been one of our most favorite Chinese seafood buffets in Houston. There is usually a crowd around dinner time on the weekends, but the wait has never been more than 10 minutes. The food is almost always fresh; rarely, once in awhile, the crabs and the crawfish might not be perfectly ideal (maybe depends on season), and the short ribs might be a little burnt. There is always a lot to choose from. We especially love their fresh salmon and tuna sashimi, fried blue crabs, cocktail shrimps, short ribs, wonton soup, fried pepper shrimps, calamari, crawfish, egg drop soup, ice-cream, etc. Everything is clean and well-kept, and the ambient is nice, so it makes it easy to take our time to relax after a long day. read more

Oh, I had a lovely time here! My robot escorted me to my seat, and the waitress in my area was just lovely. This place is huge and well-decorated; it really caught my eye. The food options were plentiful so it's impossible to try everything but I did try to. You're best bet is to eat everything in smaller portions or just keep coming back like I'm doing. read more

I love this buffet place. The food is great. The service is great and the ambience is great. Every time I wanna go back it's so crowded till I just go somewhere else because I don't like a whole lot of people over the buffet table, but one thing I did see was the workers changing out The serving utensils, and when the food spill on the side table, they threw it out. That's a great buffet. It's hard to eat everything but I try trust me I try. read more

Ever had one of those days where you can't decide what you want to eat and a wide selection is the answer? No specific craving. This place is for you with an array of Chinese food but also sushi, kielbasa, pizza and pastries. Nothing stands out but you can carb load to your hearts delight. Service is what one would expect at a self serve buffet, limited to drinks and whisking away dirty dishes. read more

I haven't been to very many Chinese buffets in a while, but I must say that the quality and food options at E Star is better than most I've been to in the past. I haven't been to the Willowbrook side of town in a while. Grew up going to and working at the mall nearby. E Star was once a Toys R Us. What brought us here was a post funeral celebration of life that reunited us from all over. We tend to eat out and gather after. The large room at the front was reserved, as well as some tables in the main dining just outside the room. The room had booth seating along the walls and tables with regular chairs. There were servers and managers checking in periodically delivering beverages. The downside was that they ran out of Coke, so they automatically gave me Diet Coke. When I told them and asked, they did offer to give me something else. They also ran out of tea cups/pots and served hot water in a regular plastic glass meant for cold beverages. No. Just no. They could've used the soup bowls in the buffet area. I don't understand how a buffet place runs out of Coke and hot cups before noon on a Tuesday. There's more dining space than food space, so if you have a large party, expect a long line. The food is set up in two long sections for the main food, cold food area, sushi, and desserts. They were constantly replenishing the food. I liked the green beans and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, General Tso's chicken, sautéed mushrooms, jalapeño chicken, fried dough, and sesame balls. The sesame balls filled with red bean ran out and took a while to replenish. The food tasted good. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, but I left full and content. I'd come back if someone else throws an event here. Outside of the event, there are robotic waiters with cat faces. Very interesting. read more

E Star - Loaded - Buffets Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is just your average all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, nothing really stands out. The food is decent, and the place is spacious. The price is fair, and the service is just okay. I'm probably not coming back. I'd rather continue my search for a better all-you-can-eat spot. read more

It was not crowded, food is good. I'm not sure if it worth $17.99. Weekdays is $13.77. That will be okay. read more

Low quality Chinese buffet, which I know maybe be redundant, but there are some better than this. Fried and baked chicken wings and rice noodle dish were good. Every other fried item I got was overcooked. Some of the items looked slimy so I wasn't going to reach it. And no way I'd touch any non-fried shellfish. read more

If they don't have it on their buffet you're to damn picky. Service is also all you need. Tea kept full and empty plates removed for another trip to the buffet. First time hit the cold line with at least 20 sushi nigiri and great choice of various rolls. Second bar for hot selections including four soups. Go ahead and make yourself miserable at the dessert bar. All for under $20. Be tempted and have the robot seat you and present you with the check. AMBIANCE!!! It's a buffet so don't invite someone who is shocked by your pigging out. read more

Been coming here for years. They have slowly raised the prices but I do think it's still worth it

Honestly, I went into this establishment with low expectations. I went here during the weekend during lunch time. I have been here many times years ago and only saw a gradual decline in the quality of their food. Surprisingly enough the food itself was not bad. I had a bit of everything from their stir-fry vegetables to their fried foods and to their sushi as well. Nothing was amazing but I didn't find anything repulsive either. Their sea food was tastier than I would like to admit. 3/5 - Food The service was fairly good as well and left me with no complaints. My server came around often to check if I needed anything and overall, just did a good job. 5/5 - Service After downing 4 plates of food, I expected to have the worst shits known to man because this is E Star I'm eating at after all. To my amazement, I did not get the shits at the time of writing this 7 hours later. Despite that, it may possibly be a concern to me that I haven't pooped after this long. Tread with caution, perhaps pooping and not pooping are both on the same side of the coin when it comes to need for concern. 4/5 - Toilet aftermath read more

Food 3.5 stars Services 4.0 stars for friendly and attentive. However, drop to 1 star for dirty dishes. Not expecting too much from a Chinese buffet, but seeing too many dirty dishes and greasy when holding them made me actually feel very gross. Seems like they don't actually washed them, but just put them all in water and pulled out. Writing this review hopefully for improvement. read more

Delicious I'm from the RGV area finally found some beef finger ribs . Lots of variety. Clean waitress was very attentive.

Food always fresh! The service is good even on their busiest days. We've been to this location several times over the years and we just went recently for Father's Day. It's one of my dad's favorite places to eat. The setting and atmosphere is nice too. I like the dim lighting. I am actually ready to go back already because the food is so good! read more

This is my first time here at this location, but usually E Star Buffet is always delicious. It's Christmas and this place did not disappoint! It's All Day Buffet and it's delicious!! Seafood on point, oysters on the half shell, and more. Besides not having crab legs it's a must go spot for a nice dine in. I liked the scenery but the dimmed lights was a lil rough on the eyes whiling eating. Other than that I enjoyed my stay with my family dinner choice since we were traveling. read more

Honestly just traumatized! Would've loved to say this place was good because I thought it was at first until a piece of chicken was extremely chewy and I spit it out and it was in shreds. VERY ODD! I don't wanna be that person but seriously what is this?! It cannot be chicken. I took a pic of the same type of meat afterwards to see what I had ate. But this reason alone. I would not trust this place! Use your $$ elsewhere. And seriously analyze the pics. I'm not just saying this. read more

Me and my family went to this place to try out a new Chinese place to eat and after 15 minutes when I was in my car I had the worst diarrhea to the point where I almost crapped my pants if I didn't stop to a bathroom. My family also had diarrhea and nausea after eating here. There is food poisoning in this place! Please don't spend your hard earned money in this third world location! Please read other comments like this one. The rest are fake reviews. read more

We always come here on weekends, love their sushi my husband loves the crawfishdefinitely recommend

Not even worth one star. First off too expensive for poorly cooked food. Crabs dried out from being over-fried and sitting under warming lights. Fried chicken wings listed. Actually over-fried chicken wing knobs. So dried out hard to chew. Sushi rolls with cucumbers, skin not shaved off. Thought I was eating bark of tree. I ate more food. Slightly passable. $16.99 per person during dinner. With tax that was $18.00 plus. It was second chance dining. I'll not go there anymore. I'll return to China Place on Hwy 249 for their buffet. Much better food even though decor not that great... Older buffet establishment... read more

After walking inside, we were hit with a very strong & gross fish odor. Interior looks nice, but reeks of fish!! Went in restroom to wash my hands and someone had thrown up in the men's urinal. It's a buffet and the food looks better than it tastes. The meat was tough and some wasn't even that warm. People working here were very nice and the kitchen staff was hustling to bring out new items they had prepared. Don't plan to come back again! Overall - gross. read more

This places is unsanitary the food is nasty an they have bad service my boyfriend got food poisoning from eating here the food was cold and didn't look good at all as if it was sitting there for a while. When we explained that to them they called the cops on us after trying to force us to eat something else. There ice cream machine is spilling out and they don't care the kid working at the cash register was eating with his hands and was also touching peoples money. This is very disgusting that's how people get sick an they clearly don't care there was people putting there hands in the food an food on the floor I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. read more

The place isn't too bad, I am just not a fan of buffets but would I come here again? Maybe. There was a variety of food and perhaps it was not my favorite options compared to other buffets. Some of my favorite options however was the fried calamari, their pineapple shrimp and their beef and broccoli. Ok and their mushrooms too. I just feel like once I got there thinking that I would pig out, I didn't. The service was good, luckily we were seated in a more quiet area since it was full of children that night and being on tablets was popular that night. Overall, it really was not bad just not WOW'd by their options either. The price was OK ($15 per person) but for that amount I could have gone somewhere else. read more

This has been our go-to place for lunch on the weekends. My little one loves the steamed salmon and fresh cut fruits!

E Star - Buffets Near Me - Houston, Texas

The restaurant was very clean. Probably the cleanest buffet I've been to. Even the bathrooms were clean and nice. They had a cool robot that seats you at your table. The staff was also friendly. I just wasn't impressed with the food. My husband picks buffets based on a few particular food items. Fried Biscuits (no sugar) theirs had sugar and were dense and greasy. Fried rice. Theirs was just white rice with veggies. Ribs are supposed to have that really good red sauce on them they had regular bbq sauce on theirs I like the boiled shrimp and salt and pepper shrimp. The boiled shrimp were good, the s and p shrimp were flavorful but super over cooked. There just wasn't one thing that stuck out to me. The buffet for Friday was 14.99 and I just don't think it was worth the price. read more

This place should be ashamed to be open. They charge an extra $5 per person from their lunch menu normal price for the simple fact that is dark outside. The excuse is that the food is freshly prepared for dinner, yet most of the popular items were not available, so in short, they will charge full price for not so full menu... read more
