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

i am surprised no one has died from food posioning yet. Their handling of highly perishable food is scary.

I love this place because I love sushi, and their selection is good for me and the price for lunch during the week is under $10 the time we went. They have a lot of Chinese food options and all kinds of meat and one of my favorites, CRAWFISH!!! They also provide gloves for every trip you make, and the staff uses masks. Will definitely visit again!! read more

Buffett was just okay..The shrimp was over cooked didnt have much seasoning on the fried rice.The dessert options are very slim. Although I will say the customer service was great. read more

Don't eat here came old one and had roaches rats all servers are rude no personality and owner was mean first day I came in The kitchen are dirty This place soon will be closed read more

E-star was recommended by a friend. I'll probably come back, but here are some flaws that I noticed. Here are some pros and cons. One pro is that it was very clean. The floor was almost spotless and the table was ok. Nothing that dirty. Another thing is that they have a decently great-sized selection. I do complain that some of the taste of the foods don't go through that well. The Tiramisu was by far the least spongy of the many I tried. It was not very feathery. Other than that, I liked this restaurant and will be coming back. read more

Food is super good and it is a very organized business. Highlights: ribs, avocado sushi, mushroom mix & broccoli chicken. read more

Dog food - food has no seasoning - lots of food but has no taste - need to change cooks and enhance the flavors

Been here a couple of times and I have to say that there food is great. The restaurant is clean and they have great service. Good variety of food items which include crawfish, fried calamari, fried shrimp, sushi rolls, pan seared dumplings, and fried wontons to name a few. Food can be a little bland at times but over all a great buffet. read more

Awesome food and clean Very clean for a buffet Sushi is delicious, crabs, chicken, and pizza read more

I haven't been to Estar in a while but I just went it after a road trip. In terms of service it was pretty normal nothing too nice but nothing terrible. The choice was very wide but people seem to take a lot at once,the taste of the food was ok overall. I would especially recommend their clams very good. I enjoyed my time there you should try! read more

The food was so good but I couldn't enjoy it bc they had fuckin bed bugs in the booth. I got ate up so bad. The table next to me were also experiencing the same thing. We thought it was mosquitos until we all noticed nothing was flying around but we were all bit. Even the employees were scratching. They need new booths or exterminators. Hell just get your shit to go! Had to throw away my whole damn outfit bc I wasn't takin any unwanted guests home with me. read more

Way over priced for a sub par Chinese food buffet. Literally walked through 3 times and wound up eating pizza and some chicken. Seriously do not waste your time or money. Over $100 for 2 adults and 3 kids. The only cool thing was the robot that seated you. read more

I've been to various buffets for this has been the best. The restrooms are clean. Of course, the restaurant smelled like seafood, but the food was fresh, and the area was spotless. read more

I love coming to eat here. Been eating here since they first opened and they never disappoint. The food is always hot and fresh and they are always quick to clean up or restock when something runs out. There sushi selection is delicious and kept cold so it stays fresh They have salads and fresh fruit and veggie options s available for those looking for other things besides fried sauces meats (but that's honestly what everyone comes for right?) Love this place! Best buffet around here read more

Nice interior decor but it just falls off from there. Food was not hot enough. Chicken was dry. Lots of food didn't taste right. Service was good. I would skip this place. There is another chinese buffet that tastes much better. The price for lunch was a rip off for the quality of food. read more

I rarely go to buffets but hadn't eaten all day so I thought I would go to a Chinese one. For years I have driven by eStar and they were always busy so I decided to go there. The restaurant had low lighting and a nice atmosphere. The food was actually pretty good, hot, and fresh. Especially liked the cabbage soup, clams, crab ragoon, potstickers, spring rolls, green beans, fresh fruit, catfish, and wings. Calamarie was very good but a couple pieces chewy. Didn't care for the maki but I am very picky about maki and sushi. There were many dishes I would have liked to try like crawfish and crab claws. I checked in at the hostess station and was told to follow a smiling chatty robot that reminded of Rosie from the Jetsons. She even came by later to sing happy birthday to a child at the next table. It was fun to watch the reactions of people to the robot It was $15.99 for Sunday dinner. They said lunch is $11.95 but not ad much seafood at lunch I would go back. read more

Nice service , food could've been more variety for the price & more hot , but it is a nice family buffet

Excellent food , price can afford 1 Fried Spring RollI like the Robot service for pickup tables

If you're like 70 years old and have no taste buds then sure it's good also keep in mind that it's a buffet, don't expect anything to taste even mediocre read more

It was ok. For the price I expected more. Good selection, table was sticky which worries me about the general cleanliness of the place. Desert selection could have been better. It fixed the Chinese craving but I won't be back, nothing stood out as amazing. read more

I ate at this restaurant several times and tonight will be the last. The food tonight was at its peak worst From the fried cheese to the eggrolls to the Kung pow chicken and general tso's chicken. Management didn't do a thing about nothing after letting them know what type of experience I experience tonight. read more

Solid buffet, a lot of classic Chinese food dishes mixed with a great selection of seafood and sushi. I was very impressed with the seafood, the mussels were excellent, they have a nice squid salad, fresh crab, crawfish and oysters. The vegetable options were all fresh, nothing was too saucy. Good mix of meats, veggies, soups, and salads. The spring rolls were the only thing I was not impressed with. I went early on a Saturday morning and you could tell them made everything fresh that day, they were still bringing out dishes as they were opening. The atmosphere is nice; TVs for viewing, you have servers that refill you drinks and check up on you. There is a bar for alcoholic beverages and they have a buy one get on free happy hour. I paid $15 for a "weekend buffet" and got my money's worth. Would definitely go again. read more

The reason I gave a 3 is because they gave us the impression that they were counting plates and checking the type of food we eat. I ate only mussels, shrimp,crab meat & veggies and fruits Buffet all you can eat!!! Don't rush the customers to leave read more

PLEASE BE AWARE PEOPLE I ate sushi there on Sunday. Now I'm at the emergency at ST Luke's hospital. Has a horrible stomach pain and vomiting. I felt I'm gonna die. The worset pain ever. The food is old and bad. I Wish if I know how to sue them. read more

It's a buffet, yes, but it's actually pretty good even for buffet standards. The dining room is actually really nice and almost has a club feel to it. The dinner and weekend offerings include more seafood, but the lunch also has a few offerings as well. The sushi spread is one of the best I've seen. A good assortment of rolls are offered. There's unagi nigiri and even salmon and tuna. Not the best quality, but not too shabby if you grab the right pieces. There's even sashimi available at dinner and on weekends. Fried baby octopus are tossed in with the calamari... Not sure if that counts as calamari, but it is tasty. The pork ribs are surprisingly tasty with its sweet glaze. There's an array of cold items too including a side salad. On the downside, we came on a weekend, and they had oysters on the half shell which is impressive except they were barely cold. Pass. I also grabbed a soup spoon and returned to my table to discover there was a scrap of paper dried up on the underside of it. Ick. Desserts are lacking as it is those premade little cakes, but there is ambrosia salad, canned fruit with almond jello as well as fresh fruit, and soft served ice cream, plus house made flan. Anyone else wonder how flan often time ends up at Chinese buffets? Anyway... Service is prompt. Dishes are cleared fast. Definitely a good destination when I feel like being glutinous. read more

This is my new favorite buffet. I absolutely love going during dinner because they serve full oysters. There is a nice variety of seafood, meats, vegetables, desserts, and so much more. Service is pretty good with clearing our tables and getting us things that we need. Food is pretty good and the price is not bad for dinner service. It's the place to go for an assortment of food. Not bad for a buffet. read more

It was a a pleasant experience. Amy one of the waitresses is very attentive. Food is good. Soups are good.

This place is okay, but I would not go here right now because mask wearing is not enforced and gloves are provided, but optional. There are too many people touching things for these things to be optional. read more

Feel so bad after having dinner here with my friends. The sushi is rotten and sour . But it's even worse when the manager and the employees over there don't say sorry. They tried to blame for the hot weather and the foods contains cheese so it's sour even they do those everyday . Can't understanding what they thought and treat on clients. read more

I grew up eating at this restaurant and now this is the first restaurant I go to when I come back to Houston! So many different selections, seafood, sushi, soups, rice, meats, desserts, anything you can really think of for the most part. I love how it's all you can eat and you don't have to wait around for the waiter to get what you want. There's also plenty of parking so even though if this place is filled up, you don't need to wait around to grab a parking spot. read more

Would give zero if could, the servers rudee, food not verrry gauurd. Servers would constantly ignore make the poor effort to clean table. Always have to flag server for refill, that along with man that sits in front table with googly eyes staring while eat. Poor customer relations not very gaurd read more

I never eat at buffets just because most are bad but e star puts out good food. Yeah its not the healthiest but for the price and taste it's overall a really good deal. Food is alway hot and fresh. Really good fruits and ice cream. Great dishes. Great service. read more

E Star - Buffets Near Me - Houston, Texas

For a buffet, I like the food here. I do not say that food was all real homemade/healthy or I do not think that they are fresh and made from what it really is, but it satisfied my craving for 10 different things in one plate, which is why I am here in the first place. And I allow myself to stuff my face every other month so I am very selective before I waste my two month wait. We came in on a Sunday night and it was 15 minutes wait. Fine. Servers do not, or better say, cannot pay attention to all the hungry people with 3 plates on table with 3 coming a second later. Crawfish was dead aka not fresh BUT the fried soft shell crab was very good and full of hot fresh taste beside being really salty, hey it's Chinese buffet style food, lot of salt and sugar, so if you get over that health concern part, I would eat here again and again. read more

E Star - You can see how dark/black the dead crawfish is compared to fresh crawfish you pay 6.99/lb at regular crawfish place. Just FYI. - Buffets Near Me - Houston, Texas

My parents are always dining here because they love buffets! I can't complain. It's a buffet and everything is self served. The food here is always fresh and tastes great compared to any other Asian buffet I have tried in Houston. Sushi is good (4/5), they have pizza, crawfish when it's in season, soups, salad, sausage, and so much more! If I want to come in to stuff my tummy, I know I can do it here easily. The ice cream machine and their cones are my favorite. I can eat about three of those if I wanted haha. Call me a fatty, but I am going to eat all I can eat! read more

I've been going to V star on 45 south at Woodridge intersection for many years. I used to live in south Houston. Moved to north houston when I bought my first home. Wife and I decided to try this place....big mistake. They may be the same owner, but the taste is nowhere near. Fried rice was 70% cabbage, and it was really plain. Same thing with the lo mein. Pepper chicken and shrimp were soggy. Crab Rangoon were... Tasteless. Fried fish was mushy. Sashimi was frozen solid. Egg rolls were okay.. at best. BBQ steak were too sweet, and low quality meat. BBQ wings were too dry. Baked salmon was also too dry. Anything that I ate that was not terrible was mediocre at best... Here is the thing. V star is a well known brand around Houston. The definition of what makes a brand worthwhile is CONSISTENCY. If I am craving a quarter pounder any Mcdonalds in Houston is gonna give me the exact same taste. With V star, you have to go to the specific one you liked the taste in. Namely the Woodridge one. Thats crap...advise to the owner: Get your most experienced best cook from V star and send them to each of your location for 2 months each to teach the other cooks how to achieve the exact same taste. I PROMISE YOU if you achieve the V star taste in all your locations your profits will double. The V star location remains the most profitable for a reason. Until then, I will not go back to e star. read more
