Sure... you could eat as much as you can at a buffet, but... would you really want to eat a ton of low quality food. Sorry, but I'll stick to Taipei Tokyo and pay for the food that I actually want and ensure that it is actually high quality. The place has tons of seating and I think I counted 10 buffets, but I still didn't want to eat more than two small plates. I actually think I would eat more for the same price at Taipei Tokyo because I'd actually be getting food that I wanted. The waitresses are great. Very consistent, water always topped off, plates always cleared. Just the food is all slightly warm, lower quality.. although abundant. If you've never had Chinese and want to try a bunch of stuff at once, this is probably a great place for you. read more

This is the best Chinese buffet I've ever been to and it's so affordable! Very clean and the staff is nice. Large variety of fresh food.

We order from this establishment frequently and are never disappointed. We mainly get takeout with all your typical dishes, such as general, tso, chicken, chicken, lo mein, and fried rice. read more

A lot of options for lunch/dinner and deserts. For the price, it's definitely worth it. They have high chairs and replace empty trays fast. The Ambiance is family friendly which is nice especially for new parents. The only complaint is that the sushi section is very bad and some of the desert or food can be a little stale. But there are so many options that it doesn't really matter that much. read more

The food has always been good. Ill come to eat here at least 4-5 times a month for lunch after work. The employee's are always nice (though i feel like they know me by name now lol) and the price of the meal is always reasonable. If you are in the mood for Chinese and love eating at a buffet, definitely give this place a try. You wont be disappointed. read more

I don't even know where to start. So I will start with the GOOD. We experienced a very pleasant host who sat us immediately and our server was sweet and attentive during our entire meal. Now for the BAD. The food was just awful. I mean aweful. Some of the smells coming off of one of the buffet tables was nauseating. I avoided that buffet serving table. Very little "actual" Chinese food. Much of the food on the 5 or 6 serving tables, was just cheap fill in food. Some of the food just looked old, unappealing, dried out. We tried small samplings of about 15 items and couldn't find anything decent. It was the worst food, I think, I've ever eaten. not sure if it was just a bad night, but never again. I'm not mad and we even gave a little chuckle (on the way home) about how truly bad and disgusting some of the food was. read more

My dad came to visit me and told me to pick someplace for us to go eat a late lunch/ early dinner. We both liked the Chinese buffet in Greensburg by the mall so I suggested here. So many options, even "regular food" like fries and stuff like that. They have a few different soups, desserts including ice cream and other items. Basically if there is nothing at this buffet to put on your plate- then you got a problem, haha. The staff is all very courteous and hardworking. Inside is huge so they really are working hard. Everything seemed full at the buffet as well. When we left, it was maybe about 5:30 (on a saturday) and there were a lot of people in the lobby waiting to get it. Very busy place. I say- give it a try. Only negative thing I have to say is the shrimp was not de-veined read more

My family has been trying to find a good chinese buffet in the pittsburgh area and this one is honestly the best for the price. For less than $17 a person you can eat your heart out! We came on a Saturday night around 5 pm and it was PACKED. The restaurant itself is quite large with multiple seating areas. The buffet area is extensive with plenty of options. They have all of the dishes you look for, your typical fare as well as a stir fry grill where you can build your own plate with raw noodles, vegetables, and protein and pick a sauce that they stir fry together for you, as well as a sushi bar, a selection of fried items, salad bar, soups, rice, noodles, and ice cream and desserts. Some of our favorites were the chicken and broccoli, sugar donuts (our favorite), create your own stir fry, garlic green beans, and general tsos chicken. Our servers were good and routinely removed our used plates. There are not many other buffets like this in the area and I am glad to see it was busy and doing well so that we can return for many years to come! read more

I tried the food here when it first opened back in 2013. The restaurant looked wonderful and the food is replenished well. I got so sick I said I would not eat there again and I have not until last week. I went to a networking meeting on Saturday and I limited my food to rice, chicken and vegetables and fried shrimp this time. I could not believe it but I was sick again unable to hold my food down in my stomach. I did not break blood vessels in my eyes this time but the food once again had my limited portion and selected items coming up. I know people who love the food here and while it looks and smells wonderful it does not agree with my stomach. I am not sure if it's the oil or grease used but I cannot eat the food cooked here. I have no food allergies and love Chinese food but this buffet is not for me. The waitress was friendly and I saw surfaces being wiped down and hand sanitizer which I used before getting food and again at my table before eating. As much as I love food I will not be trying this ever again. I have only gotten sick like this three times in my life and two of the times were from here. read more

My family took me to Fortune Star for my birthday on April 19, 2026. It was very crowded. There were people everywhere. But, we did not have to wait long at all. The way they handled the amount of people coming in and out there was AMAZING. They were kind, efficient, and it was evident that people really loved going there to eat. When people left, they made sure the tables were cleared off. When you got to your table, the server took your drink order right away, and you could just go up and enjoy the buffet. The server kept coming back and making sure that our drinks were filled up and that we were happy. The food just kept coming. It was fresh, it was hot, and tasty. I didn't see an unhappy soul in there anywhere. My sister doubled the server's tip because she was so sweet. The server gave my sister a hug, which touched me in a way that made me even more happy to be at Fortune Star on my birthday. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I am going to go there more often so I can just enjoy what I experienced over and over again. Thank you! Lind G! read more

Great service and good food my wait was very nice and called me pretty 10/10 I will possibly come back in the future if I could and if my family lets me because I'm on my way to a TSO concert read more

Fortune Star - This place is gross. Hair in the food. And the workers walk around high on drugs. Do not come to at all. - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Today was very crowded, as expected, since it was Mother's Day. There was a "special" menu today for a slightly higher fee ($22), but it was to include Crab Legs that they rarely have. I go there 1-2 times/month. I was a bit skeptical about the quality and replenishment of the Crab Legs. Oh, my!!! They were fantastic and constantly replenished. This was fantastic! Thank You.. was much appreciated! read more

There is an extremely large selection of food, both Asian & American. Dumplings, Asian soups, fried rice, of course. Potatoes , on the cob, green beans, even ice cream & sherbet. The service is efficient & polite. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves & the food. read more

Clean bathroom, good variety of food, friendly staff. I was going to give 5 starts until... I was talking to my friend, so we did stay a little longer. Then, the other staffs started to give us an "We are closing" attitude - giving "friendly" look, giving check while we are still eating, not cleaning dishes or fill up more water. Typical way to let customer go...By the way, it was around 3:00 pm and the restaurant was not packed, there were a lot empty spaces. I did leave a good tip for the friendly staff, not sure if she will get it. Mexican/Grill bar: Ok, a little bit blend. I only tried teriyaki sauce, maybe try another sauce next time. Fried foods: Good Sushi: Not good, not fresh Other courses: Do not have time to try You guys have many good parts of a buffet, do not ruin it just because the customer wants to stay a little bit longer. read more

It was our first time there and it was pretty good. We went there because we had an appointment in the area. It had the usual Chinese buffet food, and it was pretty good. However, the man behind the grill was not very pleasant and he didn't seem to really care about his work. We probably won't go back. read more

Fortune Star has a full menu but are most noted for their Buffet. I dined there for the first time with a large group, almost everyone chose the Buffet. There is a huge variety of food available on the all you can eat buffet, from appetizers, to entrees, to desserts. Food was hot and nicely prepared. Our sever was friendly and easily accommodated our separate check request for 16 people. Nice place. I would seek this place out again if I was hosting a large group. read more

We came for the lunch buffet. Plenty of options for everyone. From fruits to salad bars to deep fried to the classic fusion dishes & soups to sautéed veggies to the sweetsI surely liked their offers and went back for seconds and thirds! Great value for the price. Spacious place and comfy booths. friendly staff. They also filled up a takeout box and paid per pound. Great option if you want some to go. Though I would recommend dining in. Overall great restaurant and I'm surely coming back for dinner. read more

Fortune Star - a plate of rice, meat and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

My wife and I ate here for the first time yesterday. It was wonderful! We had a short window of time before we had to be somewhere and knew that the Buffet would be the perfect time frame. Everything we had was great. Coconut shrimp, rice, sushi, General Tso's chicken, french fries you name it! There was plenty of seating and plenty of food. The price was reasonable. We will go back with the kids and try it also as the kids price seems quite reasonable as well. read more

Edible but not that good. If u save the leftovers it's terrible. Even the wonton soup was just okay. I order to go and did not si buffet.

Food was good until we found a worm in our broccoli from not being cleaned properly. Won't be going back.

Food trash , soda flat . I had 3 different sodas and all were flat . Staff had her whole head over the food to get to the other food . Will not be coming back !! read more

So the food was good, not great. But what do you expect for a buffet? Overall the food is tasty. Loved the spinach. Loved the green beans. Sushi, muh..... Didn't try the desserts. Not my thing. My cup was always filled and my table quickly cleared of dirty plates. Would I go again? Already have and will definitely go again. Planning on trying the take out soon. read more

I do not normally like any kind of buffets. All the food tends to taste alike . Not this Resturant. I was shocked when I walked inside to see how clean, colorful and attractive the Resturant was. I counted10 well labeled tables to eat from. American, Chinese, Sushi, seafood, dessert and ice cream. All the food was surprisingly good and had its own taste. Two things I always rate.... 1. Hot and Sour soup. I liked the heat but it didn't have the normal taste- It was very Spicy with a clear soup. The heat overwhelmed the flavor. 2. General Tso's - it was not the star of the show as it is on most buffets. Sweet and sour chicken took the top rating. It was good. Try it! Definitely a step up from the normal Chinese buffet. BTW. I did not try the Sushi! read more

It's my favorite Chinese buffet plus it's right off the turnpike. The foods always fresh with lots of choices. I like they have scallops on the hibachi and crayfish. The place is big and clean I think it's one of the best Chinese buffets in PA. Good Job read more

I'll start by saying the tables were clean (which is important to me). They offer a variety of food (other than strictly Chinese) however most of the the Chinese food did taste better For the price we got our money's worth but if you are going here remember it's a buffet. The food sits which can become tough to eat. Salad bar is limited but the food bar is extensive including everything from ribs to steak, pizza, fish, (lots of fish) chicken, soups, sushi, hibachi, along with a small dessert table. I'll probably stop again for lunch rather than a late dinner. read more

Fortune Star - They offer a variety of foods from bbq ribs to Mac n cheese to broccoli chicken - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

My wife and I started off our vacation week by going to Fortune Star because we worked at home all day and were very hungry. We never go to Chinese buffets or any buffets but we actually had a gift card from our wedding (4 years ago) from here that we had never used so we needed to use it. I'm glad we finally did. I think it's a decent buffet. If you're looking for great food don't go to a buffet. This place is good if your hungry and want to eat a lot but not spend a lot but still have a good time. It's good for kids too which is nice. We walked in and this place is huge. I believe this used to be a Damon's so I can see how the space was utilized. They sat us down in a booth. The table and buffet wasn't sparkling clean but it was clean enough for me to eat at and on. We walked around to see what they had to offer and they have a ton of food. I'm not going to name everything but they had almost everything. I really had my doubts that this food would be any good with the amount of food they had but it was good. Was it 5 star gourmet food no but was it freezer burned food like a review earlier not at all. It was decent Chinese food. I liked the coconut shrimp and honey chicken the most. My wife showed me their sushi which I was hesitant to eat but she liked it and I did try some tuna and salmon and it was good. They have a hibachi grill in the back and that's what you need to do. You can get fresh ingredients and have the chef grill some shrimp, chicken and beef. The beef didn't look good to me so I got chicken and Carrie got shrimp. It was nice. Not expensive and we left very full. What more can you ask for? Next time we come here we won't eat as much though! We rolled home.... read more

I typically avoid buffets specifically Chinese buffets so when my friends wanted to come here for dinner my girlfriend and I were both skeptical. I had seen it a million times going in to PetLand to play with the puppies and it just didn't look like anything special from the outside. Once We walked in Alison said to me that this place was much bigger than she had expected. Looking around I saw row after row of fresh food all the way back to the wall. Strolling through I was very satisfied both by the apparent quality and abundant quantity of Everything from General Tsos, Won Ton Soup and even, now hang on stick with me, sushi. I would never have touched the sushi if it wasn't for the fact a man was making it as quickly as people were taking it. Alison is a little more cautious than myself and opted for something I never expected to see: Hibachi. In the very back behind all the lines you can scoop up raw meat and veggies from a big fridge and give it to the Hibachi chefs and have yourself the freshest buffets around. All of the food was STEAMING hot and tasted like the food from any standard takeout Chinese place. Except the sweet and sour chicken which was probably the best I've ever had. The batter was crispy and buttery all at once and was wrapped around insanely juicy chicken and of course I smothered it in delicious fresh sweet and sour sauce. So here I was sitting at a buffet with a fresh sushi bar and hibachi grill but the thing that surprised me the most: cleanliness. We've all had to try and enjoy a meal in a dirty grungy restaurant, but at the Fortune Star that is not an issue. The staff was extremely efficient constantly cleaning tables and buffets while never getting in the way. Not once did I see the all too familiar piece of chicken floating in the beef, or the green beans that have somehow migrated into the corn. What looks like your typical buffet on the outside will surely surprise you on the inside. I was so satisfied with my meal and the dinner cost was something like $11 per person. Of course I knew I had to wait and see what the girlfriend had to say before I could plan to come back. And I'm happy to say she somehow liked it even more than myself and so next time I want Chinese food this is where you will find me. And who knows maybe next time I'll be bold enough to try some of the more "traditional" looking offerings. read more

Fortune Star - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Food is good! Love the dumplings and fried rice and the sweet and sour shrimp. Service is fast and everyone is very kind and courteous.

One thing that surprised me about the Pittsburgh area was how few chinese buffets there were compared to Buffalo. I was spoiled with high quality food with a large variety and fresh ingredients. When the sign went up for Fortune Star I thought it was worth a visit. I've been back two additional times. The quality seems to be hit or miss. The first time I went, everything was fresh and replenished. The second time, it seemed most items were empty or dried out and the staff seemed peeved when asked about when/if they would be replenished. Both visits were week days around 6:00. It should be noted that the weeknight price is different from the weekend (Friday and Saturday) and the only real difference I noticed was crab legs. Since there are not a lot of other buffet options, I will probably be back, but I won't be a regular. read more

Okay for the naysayers - this is what it is - a buffet at a reasonable price. Come during busy times as food turns over and you get something fresh off the stove. Come at closing time not so much. It is clean and modern with excellent service. You will find something you like and I will be back. read more

The manager was very rude and disrespectful to customers. The food is mediocre and all tastes exactly the same. Quality has gone down from previous years. Not as good of an experience as prior times. Will never be visiting again. Overall, very overpriced for inedible food and terrible service. read more

Consider this a 2.5 rating. I wanted to like Fortune Star. Upon walking in, it's a very attractive venue and from the looks of the enormous buffet, it certainly looks inviting. There are fruit, salad, non-Asian food such as pudding and mac-n-cheese, lots of appetizers, main courses, noodles, rice, soups, even sushi. The staff is very efficient and polite. What's not to like, right? Well, I sampled several of the offerings and the taste was just not quite right on a lot of it. The cantaloupe looked delicious, but was hard as a rock, not quite ripe enough. The General Tso's chicken was dry on the inside and if you had a blindfold on would not recognize it as being General Tso's chicken. Hmm. Maybe it wasn't. The green beans had no taste whatsoever. After that, I was a bit hesitant to try the sushi. Buffets are buffets. It's difficult to have that much food available to their patrons and for us patrons to expect it to be fresh and tasty, I suppose. Go for quantity and a fast meal. read more

Solid three stars for this place. The food isn't phenomenal, but it's do-able and a nice switch up from the other chain restaurants in Monroeville. I agree with another reviewer who said this place is hit or miss--I've gotten the food fresh and piping hot, and totally bland and dried out. I wish they had better variety, but for a $10 buffet I don't expect all that much either. Mostly miscellaneous meat covered in various brown sauces, and a bunch of staples like rice, lo mein, various soups, and a cold bar option. Plus for having a sushi bar that isn't 100% sketchy and a hibachi grill that is included in the meal price. All in all, this place is way better than any of the other failed Americanized Chinese buffets in the area, so give it a try. read more
