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

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

So went here last night with the family and was truly disappointed. Now I have been here many times and have been quite pleased but this visit was the absolute worst. Quite a few of the choices on the buffet had been sitting much too long and had not been replaced or they were just empty containers. We had 2 children with us and all they wanted was the pizza, fries and the mac n cheese. The pizza and mac n cheese were so dried out they were inedible. when we complained to one of the servers they promised to replace them and that did not happen. So all the kids really ate were the fries and donuts. Perhaps this blah service was due to the restaurant not being very busy so they were not so concerned with the freshness of the food. Needles to say that was my last trip to the Fortune Star... read more

I decided to be adventurous, and went to this place at duh duh dunn! 5o'clock! I have to say, that with the very first bite, I was in heaven! I started out with a plate from the sushi bar. Granted, they only have about ten different varieties to choose from, but the flavors were spot on. One of the more notable ones was the salmon, tuna, cream cheese and avocado roll. Delicious!! There was a tempura shrimp roll that was to die for! Probably my favorite things about the bar was that they had bottles of eel sauce and sriracha mayonnaise out for the customers. I really can't get enough of that stuff! Once I inhaled that first plate, I thought I should give the rest of the place a chance to wow me. There are ten different stations including a hibachi. There were a lot of things I wasn't able to sample, but everything I tried, I had a momentary love affair with, so much so that I ended up having four plates. Some of the most memorable things I had were the scallop salad in a clam shell, coconut shrimp. The tempura dipped fantail shrimp, still makes my mouth water! The bok choy, and the cheesy seafood salad, melted in my mouth. All in all, it was a great experience, the wait staff was so attentive in the sharp uniforms, the bathroom was nice and clean. The restaurants atmosphere was the most beautiful I had ever seen in a buffet or any restaurant, the cork carvings in between the booths were a lovely detail. I definitely will be going back many more times. read more

The food here is comically bad. Absolutely terrible, borderline inedible. I wouldn't eat here again if it was free. I've eaten some sketchy Chinese food in my life, but this takes the cake. Nothing has any flavor. What I could taste, was eerily similar to wet cat food. There's a pet store next door, it's a distinct possibility. I literally didnt / couldn't eat more than one bite of anything. The only time I was checked up on was when the check was dropped off. She asked if everything was ok. I replied "no". She giggled and walked away. Eat here at your own risk. read more

I am sooo skeptical about Chinese places especially buffets! And this place is amazing ! Clean and fresh! The place has a great variety of foods for all palates. Kids items as well & they are constantly changing the food items so that food isn't getting dried out. Sushi bar as well. Highly recommend it. Recommend the lunch buffet for the price over dinner pricing though ! read more

Thought I'd share a story since I thought it was pretty funny. I guess to lure in people they put a sign on their door saying "today's special: lobster" well my boyfriend and I were making our way to Mad Mex which is a couple stores down in the plaza, but that sign drew us inside and we ate here instead! It's a nice place inside, nice for a buffet I mean. We get seated and go to the food bar, look at where the "lobster" is, and we both laugh. It truthfully was every part of the lobster, EXCEPT for the tail haha! We saw the sign on the door and assumed they were serving lobster tails. We should have expected less since it is a buffet. Although we did think hm maybe this is just picked through so we waited until they refreshed the food pan and brought more out, nope, they brought more of the lobster scraps out lol. It was a good laugh, we did still eat here though. Their sushi is amazing and they have a huge bottle of eel sauce to eat with the sushi. If you've never had eel sauce before - you're missing out. My boyfriend enjoyed all the food he got as well. Overall good experience read more

I've been here many times with large parties and also by myself. There's a great variety of tasty food, and I especially enjoy their Chinese section. The staff is attentive and clear away dishes and fill drinks quickly. The prices are reasonable for what you get. Also, the interior is very pretty, and the bathrooms are clean. I have yet to be disappointed. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Compared to other chinese buffets in Pittsburgh, this restaurant by far is the best. Great value, good food, clean atmosphere and the waitstaff is very attentive. The food was tasty and a such a large selection including sushi and hibachi. I will be back when I work in this area. read more

The only thing that is objectionable about the Monroeville location is the middle aged lady who serves as host at lunch. It would be hard to find a more glum, unfriendly person in the hospitality business. If this lady was a tipped employee and treated customers the way she does, she would starve. Other than that, this place is great, offering a vast array of quality food at a bargain price! read more

Tried this again today and it was better than the first time! The selection is really good and the food was hot and very tasty. After today's visit aim changing my rating to 5 stars! We had the same server, Candy, again today. She is very attentive and very sweet. We will be back. read more

I must be stupid to not follow my own advice. After an initial poor experience in May, I have been back twice with continued disappointment. The only thing I can rationalize as to why is the convenience of a buffet. But, it is three strikes and your out and I won't be back. Food remains bland, tastes similar regardless of what the dish is called, and is lukewarm. read more

Found 3 different hairs- one in the ranch dressing, one in the salad cheese, and one in the fried rice.

Worst experience and not even a apology!! Went at 7:00 on Sunday night. They are open till 9:30. They took the caddy off our table that had salt pepper ect. While we were in the middle of having dinner. The staff was cleaning at my ankles while I was getting my dinner from buffet. I then try to take my kids up to make ice cream and once again she was cleaning and standing in the way. My daughter was super uncomfortable and I was super upset at the way we were treated!!! We don't go out often and this was the most uncomfortable trip with mediocre food ever. I must also add as much as the are constantly cleaning around you the place felt gross!! I get you need to clean buffet and restock, but not the bottom side panels under buffet at my feet and continue cleaning top surface while in the middle of dinner service. There were many other unsanitary cleaning no practices I observed while sitting there. Also is it to much to ask to keep our condiments for food and sugar for our ice tea???? I went to talk to manager after getting kids there ice cream and taking them back with my husband so they could eat. The manager looked at me like a deer in headlights....NO SORRY NO ANYTHING!!!!!! I had to walk away. I still gave our server 20% and paid the $60.00 bill. The manager was the one working register when we left. He took my slip spoke not a word then counted my change back to me. Still no apology no thank you NOTHING!!!!!!!!! read more

BEWARE!!!! Our credit card was hacked TWO times after eating here. Use CASH only or choose another buffet. Very rude, snooty staff! So tired of servers who are clearly Asian, speak broken English if any English, but have name tags like "Samantha" "Joan" etc... These buffets need investigated! read more
