Food was cold chewy. They ask you to pay at the door. For 2 people $38.00. The wasabi had a crust on it. Sushi already starting to turn. Maybe leftovers from lunch…. We dined at 5:00pm.

Pretty good food. Nice selection. They have special food on Friday, and everything has been very fresh recently. Love it.

Wasn't impressed with the food. There were lots of dirty plates in the stack. Selection was very limited, food was not hot.

Wasn’t a horrible experience but I doubt we will go back. $40 for 2 people is insane. We can go to a different Asian restaurant and get better food for half that cost. Food was cold and definitely not fresh, though not the worst I’ve had so that’s why I’ve given 2 stars. For example: my chicken and broccoli was clearly made earlier that day and left out: and it was cold. The wontons? Chewy and cold. I can make better frozen ones! The server (unsure of his name) kept our drinks filled and was pretty attentive. The desserts were awful. Dry, bland, or just plain unappetizing. I left most of my chosen desserts uneaten. Voted Best Asian Buffet in Lubbock? If that’s the best I’d hate to see the worst!

Ice cold ripoff! DO NOT EAT HERE!Note: my server was great and very attentive.First I asked if a drink was included or extra, and told "no it's included," yet was a separate charge on my receipt.In a virtually empty restaurant, after being told they had to 'balance out the servers', the next group (family) got sat in the booth directly behind me.The food? There was plenty of it. One table was cold items, two had what was supposed to be hot food. Only one table had steam coming from it, but everything I wanted was on the other.I had soup, egg rolla, ribs, broccoli beef... The *only* thing hot was the egg-drop soup (delicious) but everything else was at best room temperature - the ribs literally 'made the day be for and still ice cold from overnight in the cooler'.$20 with a $2 tip, only the tip was worth it for the server.When I told the friends I met up with where I ate they all responded how bad the reputation is and named a buffet that is much better.

I shouldn't even give this place 1 star. I lived in Asia for over six years and this place is an embarrassment to Chinese culture. The food is always cold! The meat from the dishes taste like it's been sitting out for days! Absolutely disgusting food!

Food was room temperature or slightly warm. Selection was poor. Always disapointing to see non asian foods being offered, like salisbury steak and enchiladas. Very overpriced for the quality of the food. The food was not very tasty. Not very warm. not hot. Something bad will come.
The food was amazing, and ther service was great! I wish I could come here every

China star beats every other asian food place I ever try. They also beat everyone else these days in value... And i mean everyone... Pictured is how much food I got to-go for $16. I will get full 3 times on this. You cant even get a couple burritos for less than $20 these days! Kudos China Star!!!

$40.01 for 2 people was absolutely HORRIBLE the food was old not fresh at all. Sushi wasn’t even eatable. Every time I went to the buffet I was followed and stared at. Then this put the using on the cake!!! I waited forever to get a drink, so my husband walked up to the front, where a lady was sitting on her phone sitting down. He asked her for a refill after trying to get a guy to help us, but he had ear phones in wouldn’t even acknowledge him. He asked the lady with empty drinks in his hand for a refill. She said sure and literally walked over to the only person I see working his butt off and rudely gets onto him. Sends him over to our table to go get us drinks. Absolutely embarrassed for the gentleman working. What was wrong with her getting our drinks for us???? I will never go back to this place after watching how she treated her staff…. I apologized to the young man drank our drinks and kindly left. I will never support a business that’s gonna treat their employees like straight up garbage…
