Went here twice with consistent results; once for dinner and once for lunch. Their buffet is ginormous and includes a huge variety of stir fry platters, seafood, American food, sushi, desserts, fruit and even a Mongolian grill. The value is good and the waitstaff is quick and polite. I love the dumpling dipping sauce they have and the little cakes are so tasty! Their baked mussels and clams are wonderful and the location is great. Highly recommend! I am not even a buffet fan, but this place did not disappoint. read more

Location: Miracle Mile Shopping Center Monroeville. Traffic in Monroeville is very time sensitive but the social engineers should be admired from the downtown area as dense traffic moves quickly.... until you head to Murrysville. Nontheless, it should be easy in/ easy out most times of the day via I-376. Restaurant: It is a large and clean Chinese buffet. It can accommodate large parties and have everyone eating very quickly. There are 5 stations, a sushi station and a chef to make lo mein and rice noodle combos at your request. They have some American options as well, ex: ribs, meatballs, breadsticks, chicken wings, pizza, ham and sometimes steak. They have a wide selection of Chinese food, white/fried rice and soups. Also, there is a dessert station, 1/5 mentioned, with ice cream in the cooler and confections. They keep everything in well rotation and if they notice you depleting a specific item they will make it fresh and refill it. Staff: They have laser sight on your drink and will not ever let it run dry. There is minimal interaction due to buffet but they will clear your plates and be attentive to your needs. Sometimes they will be pushy to get you your check, but it is out of goodwill that I have noticed. From my experience they aren't trying to rush you out, simply being extremely attentive. My experience: I go here about once every two weeks. It's great after a long workday and a good reward for a hard workout at LA Fitness nextdoor (many protein options). Never have I left disappointed or had a bad experience. (+25 visits) Restrooms and facility is always clean and I have never thought twice about food prep or sanitation. read more

Great time with longtime friends. The buffet was fresh with anything you can possibly want. The seafood saute was great.

We came in here on a Sunday afternoon. Even though I read some not so great reviews, we decided to give it a try. They had a small selection of sushi. The hibachi grill was good, even though I wish they had a wider variety of spices/sauces. The buffet was large, and with the usual offerings. It's a decent place. read more

Everyone is always so polite here. The buffet has a great selection and the hibachi is out of this world. The new hibachi cook is much better than the other one. He takes his time to make sure nothing is overcooked, and uses extra sauce which is awesome because that's the best part. A+ read more

This place was recommended by my brother in law. The service is excellent. There is a large variety of food. I was here for dinner and the selection of food I sampled was pretty good. Salad selection was limited and the veggies were not the best. A lot of fillers with the stuffed items. Great desserts and real ice cream. read more

Im on giving it 3 stars because the people who work there are so nice. The food was edible and I found a couple things I enjoyed. Overall, it was not great... especially the sushi. The sushi was probably the worst part of it all. read more

First off this place is clean with plenty of places to sit. Secondly, this place for lunch is only $9! This place has options of different seafood, meat, and veggie items. There's sushi, a hibachi station, and a verity of desserts. While the options and price are nice, the quality and taste of the food are 3.5/5. For the price though this place is good for lunch. read more

Fortune Star - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

This is my favorite restaurant in Monroeville. The buffet this restaurant serve is fresh and has so many different dishes to choose from. It's one of the best value deal for anyone's hard earned money. read more

I can't give this buffet more than 3 stars. If you like Asian buffets then it is possible to like this one. The restaurant is clean and always quick to seat you and serve drinks, that I have experienced. However, as the buffet itself is plenty and hot, offering Asian and non-Asian food choices, the food itself lacks any kind of flavor, and subpar at best. The food turnover seems to be steady. They have someone plenishing the buffet often. The Sushi is okay at best and I have only had the Hibachi once, didn't find it worth a second visit. I didn't care of the Won Ton Soup. Family and friends have enjoyed the dining experience but have not come away saying anything great. It's quick ready fast food for substance. The price is very reasonable which makes it worth the visit for some. read more

I can't give this place 5 stars because it's not the best Chinese place you'll ever go to. But you get a good deal for what you pay for (Friday and Saturday it is more though). They have a nice selection and most of the time the food is full. I have never gotten sick eating here. The staff is friendly although they do not speak very much English. This place gives buffets a good name read more

Just moving the Pittsburgh area from Southern CA, I was looking for a chinese restaurant but came across this buffet. Also, there are a lot of Asian buffets in Pittsburgh as well. To say the least, this buffet did not disappoint. It was clean and the food actually tasted good and not filled with salt and MSG like other places. The food actually looked edible. I enjoyed all of the chicken dishes that they had and the fried shrimp. Now, this buffet has a focus more on Chinese food and wasn't trying to do the international thing like other places. So, if you strictly want Chinese food, this place will satisfy your craving. Also, I spent less than $10 on Sunday during lunch time. I think that's pretty good spending. read more

I got a lunch special, it was cheap and it was terrible, I will never get a lunch special here again. It tasted like they got someone scraps from the buffet that they didn't finish. Awful!!!!!!! I will never trust this again. read more

Great selection! I had dumplings, various types of chicken, a nice amount of sushi, and plenty of other Chinese inspired dishes! The best was the Shao Mai, so good! French Fries had an elegant texture, while maintaining the delicious crispness that comes with the deep frying! The General Tso's chicken had a sweet sauce, that complimented the savoriness of the seasoned chicken very well. Overall when eaten with chopsticks, was a very tasty bite! Bathrooms were clean, but I did feel like the staff was watching me often as they liked to hang out next to my table. Personal space please as I eat my chicken! A huge selection for under $10 is a win for me! read more

Fortune Star - Shao Mai! - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

See all

I love their food! It's great Chinese buffet food! The prices are a little much, but they arent to bad!

This buffet is excellent value. The food is reasonable, the sushi is not bad, and the grill provides fresh stir-fried dishes to order, which is always nice. I would really like to give them 3.5 stars, but Yelp doesn't provide that option. It's not gourmet food, but gimme a break--it's 10 bucks! You can spend more than that at McD's. That's why I say "excellent value". read more

Went here for dinner today staff is nice food is awesome deff my fav restaurant had the coconut shrimp crab Rangoon & this mushroom stuff with chicken shrimp & some type of sauce (I forget the name of it lol) this place will always be my fav highly recommend it read more

Fortune Star - Very delish :) - Chinese Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I always get my buffet food to go... there are so many choices of food to choose from and their food is great!!

Very sad that this place has gone downhill. The food quality is awful it looks like it's been sitting there for hours. No taste very bland. The Sushi & Hibachi cooks are on their cell phones, while the prep areas are filthy. The Sushi is old and dry, gross!!!!! The rest of the staff are on cell phones too. I even found a hair in my rice.......I Will Never will go back read more

I used to love this place a couple years ago and idk why I keep giving them chances hoping it will be like it used to be, but it is such a disappointment now. It looks very nice and feels comfortable but that's about it. They over charge me almost every time I go which is usually at dinner time when they're supposed to be serving steak and crabs. When there are no crabs, they still charge me for them. The food is almost never fresh. It tastes like they leave it out for hours. The American food taste like it came straight from a dumpster so I don't even eat it anymore. The food should always be fredh, rather I come at the beginning of dinner or in the middle of it. Sometimes, the drinks even taste like soap. The only thing that taste the way it's supposed to, is the fruit. I wouldn't dare touch the ice cream because it's always unsanitary in that section. The deserts are disgusting as well. The customer service is poor. They are never happy or welcoming but will gladly take your money. I would not recommend this place at all. They have to make some serious changes in order to be half as good as they used to be. read more

Tasteless freezer-burnt garbage is the order of the day at this place. If you have an ounce of self-respect avoid this over-priced dumpster.

For 8.40$ for lunch is a pretty good deal + hibachi makes it even better the place is clean bathrooms are clean all in all a great place will be back read more

Here's the deal. This is a Chinese buffet. You need to go when it is busy or, naturally, it will not be as good. That being said, this is one of the best chinese buffets I have ever been to. There is a lot of variety. Hibachi, sushi, average Chinese stuff, salad bar, dumplings, dessert stuff, deep fried section. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and looks cool. I don't really understand the negative reviews... They prob couldn't name a better buffet if they tried. Overall, this is a Chinese buffet that costs $8(for lunch) that has good variety. PERIOD read more

It is great for $8 lunch! Two of us ate with water to drink and our bill was $16. We were stuffed and the food was good... You just have to remember when you go here you're getting an eight dollar meal not a $30 steak dinner and I would say it is a very good price for what you get. Yes it is not 100% the best thing I ever ate but it gets five stars because I don't expect to spend eight dollars for the best thing I ever ate. read more

This place has really gone downhill since opening. The food was down right discusting. My wife and I stopped in at 230. Still lunchtime right? Wrong!!!! Meal was over $35. It wasn't worth the $8 or $9 I was expecting to pay, let alone $35. When we asked I was told it was now after 3pm, sorry. Ad the owner/manager lady that works the front could be more unfriendly and unwelcoming. We won't be back. Hopefully they close soon and a good Chinese place comes in. read more

We have eaten here several times but yesterday put an end to it. We were there as they were switching over to dinner. No big deal. However, my son asked for something and there was no yellow sticker. So we got it for him. The waitress decided to fight with us so we showed her that there was not a sticker. Afte talking to her co workers she decided to walk up and take the plate from him as he was eating. Who does this even after being shown that there were no dinner markings? The hostess gave him back some more of what he was eating. HORRIBLE. read more

As others have mentioned, I too am not a fan of buffets. However I've had two great experiences there meeting the girls out for dinner. Sushi and Hitachi are good. As are the dumplings and the hot and sour soup. Everyone found something to eat and like including a little steak for those not find of Asian food. Servers are pleasant, no rushing. And it is BYOB with no corking fee read more

You really can't beat the huge selection of menu items at this buffet and with a price point under $10 it's a great place that we visit on those nights (or even for lunch) where everyone is too drained to make something. Waitstaff has always been very pleasant on each of my visits and I would certainly recommend the place to friends (and have!) read more

Tried it for the first time for take out and I was really disappointed. The food was not very good and not very warm. I arrived around 5:30 pm and nothing looked fresh. Most dishes were drying out under the lights. The white rice was more like mush and the food that looked appetizing did not taste very good. I tried numerous things. Chicken and Broccoli, some sort of spicy chicken, baked chicken, some sort of white fish that tasted fake. The decor is very nice and the service was okay which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. read more

A whole lot of variety,very reasonable price but the food is dry and stale! Avoid this place

Very disappointing. My boyfriend got a dumpling with raw pork and onion. There were possibly three edible things on the menus.

If you go alone or with two people, then I absolutely would not recommend Fortune Star. They will only seat you at a tiny table along the wall of the buffet where you will constantly get bumped into by other patrons, have your table bumped, and my favorite, get random food dropped on your table. THUMBS DOWN FORTUNE STAR! read more

My husband and I had lunch at Fortune Star today. We have never been there before and I was amazed at the amount of food provided for the lunch buffet. Sushi is one of my favorites and it is plentiful. My husband loves seafood and that was plentiful as well. The price for the buffet was outstanding. We weren't even able to make it through all the rows of food and are looking forward to out next visit to try the things we were not able to eat today. Excellent food at an excellent price. Well worth the visit. read more

Your typical Chinese buffet, but it's huge and they have sushi and a grill. Nice atmosphere, it's always clean when I have visited. The service although not the warmest, is hard working. read more

The chinese buffet has many tasty choices. The staff is a little pushy however they are attentive. The food is good and plentiful for the price. The surrounding decor is interesting to look at whilst dining. Worth the trip. read more

I went here yesterday on a busy Saturday and the food was hot and tasted well like what you would expect from a buffet. Overall a good selection of food and nothing to complain about. I would recommend. read more

Good was subpar. Had a wide variety of food options; however, none of the food was actually good.

After reading mixed reviews, I decided to check it out for myself. The buffet has a wide variety of food. Food was a little salty, but overall, I wasn't disappointed. The buffet & tables were also clean which I can't often say for Chinese restaurants lately. read more

This is my favorite place to get an Asian food buffet in the area. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive and are always on the lookout to clean your plates and refill your drinks. The place is clean overall, as the staff is always cleaning off tables that no one is sitting at. The food is pretty standard, if not better, than your average Asian buffet. They have a large selection of food to choose from, and the bars are always clean from people dropping food or getting it into a different container. One time I went into the bathroom and got bleach on my shirt from the counter by the sink, and the manager offered to reimburse me for the shirt! I will continue going here and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an Asian buffet read more

So disappointed to the point I had to post how much I hated this place. The food was tasteless and there was a sugar packet in my water. The rice was so dry and sticky yuck. Even the usual easy Chinese tradition stuff sucked. The only good thing about this place is that I sat in a booth read more
