This place is what it is. It's a Chinese buffet, and it seems like they're trying a little harder to bring in business now that people have a few more options available to them, like Kobe's and (soon) HuHot. Still - sometimes the food looks a little old. But they change it often enough that it's not a huge issue. Their mongo stir fry is pretty good, but the guy looks like someone ran over his dog; I wish he would smile. The dessert area always looks delicious, but my wife and I were there last night, and the kiwi was underripe, which isn't a deal-breaker or anything, but something to note. I'd like to hold out on Chinese until there is something better available - cheaper carryout, or something. The price tag is a little high here, but if you eat a lot it might be worth it - I just wish they would use some of that to spruce the place up a little bit. The vinyl on all of the booth seats is cracked and worn and the carpet in the seating area looks like crap. read more

I like it a lot, and I come here every week. The waiters are welcoming, and they refill my drinks in a timely manner. I love this place. Their is a huge selection of hot food and a whole bar for salad and dessert. There is also a sushi bar and Mongolian Stir Fry with variety of sauces to choose from. It is the best place to go. read more

See all

I when like two time in 3 wks very good lots of food from the all u can eat really good stuff price is good

Best Chinese in Bismarck! It is more expensive than most Chinese buffets but still best sushi, crab legs and more!!!

Ug, just ug! I wish i could give it no stars! The chicken is slimy. The beef is slimy, the veggies aren't cooked, like RAW carrots, the fried rice is full of uncooked onions, my boyfriend said it has NO flavor, its yellow. Why is it yellow? It looks like they took whatever was on the kitchen counter and shoveled it in there. I asked 3 times for no egg, and of course its full of egg so even if it had any flavor its inedible since there's egg on everything! The "king crab" sushi roll is fake crab, what was i thinking to expect real crab and I'm beyond bugged I paid $48 for this inedible excuse for Chinese Food! Don't bother wasting your money! read more

This food is really bad. It is your typical chinese-buffet-style food...greasy and tasteless. We didn't eat from the buffet, as by a rule stay away from the chinese buffet, but I'm fairly certain when I wasn't looking the server took my plate to it herself! Giving it a three star because it is exactly what I expected from looking at the outside of this place. Many of you will be very happy eating here...it's just not in my groove. read more

It's a decent place. Not bad, not great, same old same old. They had a good variety of sushi to choose from, which I really appreciated. What I didn't like was the fact that in the 40 minutes I was there never once did crab legs hit the buffet, just an empty streamer pan where they once were. That's not cool. Like I said, the taste/quality of the food I tasted was the same as everywhere else of this type of restaurant: decent/good, nothing special stood out. For the price it was exactly what I expected: no more, no less. read more

I ordered a pu pu platter to go and got 2 buffalo wings, 2 full size southern BBQ style ribs, and this slimy peppered chicken. I actually laughed when I got home to see what was inside. How is any of that chinese? I also got 2 egg rolls which were really just bread and no filling, two shrimp which were popcorn shrimp wrapped in breading and two crab rangoons. None of it even remotely tasted like a Chinese dish. I think they may have gone in to the buffet and grabbed whatever was cooked. I'll never go back. Gross! read more

China Star - Seriously? That's a pu pu platter from this restaraunt. Absolutely gross. - Chinese Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

Very best Chinese buffet selection in Bismarck. Very good variety. Love that they include sushi. They also have crab legs in the evening which is nice. I always go here when I'm in Bismarck and we want Chinese. read more

Great atmosphere, tasty food, and excellent service! My husband and I were driving through town after a long day and decided to try China Star. We were very satisfied with the food selection and they even have sushi available in the buffet and a hibachi grill. read more

Food was okay not that impressed. It actually seemed a little pricey for what you got. I think I'll actually stick with a more fast food China place. read more

The food was fantastic and the staff was nice. I recommend this place to anyone!! Also a family friendly atmosphere

Great food all the way around and so many choices, lots of seafood which is hard to find places around here with good seafood that doesn't cost you a arm or leg read more

I don't really care for this place but most of the people I know love it so I visit sporadically. The price for the buffet is about $2-$3 too high considering you will get full after one plate of food if you fill it up with items you know you'll eat. There's only one rice option on the buffet and it's yellow and usually too hard. And don't you dare think about coming in within the hour before closing, they'll make you sit in a specific area with everyone else remaining there. Close to closing, they also don't bother refilling items either. So if you want something more but it's empty and near closing time, you're out of luck. Don't even bother attempting to converse with whoever you're with if the restaurant closes in 10-15 minutes, they'll send some of their workers out to sit right beside you and stare you down until you leave. read more

I tried the buffet several days ago and I will definitely go back there again! I'm especially satisfied with their various options of both Chinese and American food. I craved for Chinese food last night so I thought I'd try their delivery service. And again, it was amazing. Food arrived on time, looked and tasted great. Will definitely recommend it to my friends! read more

Really? I can't believe this place only has 2 stars! This place is amazing and the staff are great. The best buffet in Bismarck! Honestly the sushi here is better then Shogun! I'm originally from Nevada/California and they have so many sushi places, here there are just a few and China star is the only one that knows what there doing. Not to mention their Mongolian grill, amazing the guy who always cooks our food remembers us and is always so polite. You guys are missing out on a great place. read more

I went to this place for my birthday and was very impressed. There is an extremely large amount of options to choose from, including a sushi bar! It's quite different from other Chinese buffets in town because of all of the options. Row upon row upon row of food! I liked everything I tried, and was pleased with the service. read more

The food was absolutely terrible. The staff was great, I was disappointed after all the great reviews and wasting money on what was just disgusting. read more

Food was great and there were a lot of options--Chinese food, sushi, stir fry grill, and desserts! Great place to go if you're hungry since it's an all you can eat buffet! read more

This restaurant (or rather, buffet) is pretty decent for the price. Quality is average as you might expect, but the food hot, plentiful, and inviting -- especially after a long day in the office. There's also a large enough variety to satisfy most needs. Personally I recommend the black pepper chicken, that was one of the better dishes I sampled. read more

Great food. Awesome selection. Good prices. Everything was fresh. Service was good. I got royally stuffed. Sushi, salad bar, Mongolian bbq, crab legs, salmon, fried rice, fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, broccoli beef, pork ribs, mussels, cashew chicken, ice cream, cake, etc! I highly recommend this restaurant. I will most definitely go back! read more

i ordered delivery to Mandan ($20 minimum to come across the river). I ordered egg rolls, salt and pepper shrimp, pork with garlic sauce, won-ton soup. they threw in two canned pepsi's for free and promised delivery within 45 minutes. The delivery service was outstanding. everything packaged so that it didn't leak, perfectly hot, on time and nothing was forgotten except maybe chopsticks. Portions are big enough that I will have chinese food all week. Egg rolls are more what I call spring rolls but they were fried. just so-so. salt and pepper shrimp, out of this world good. rice, nice and sticky. won-ton, excellent. pork with garlic sauce, mediocre but on par with all others in Bismarck. veggies are cut too big and i take offense to button mushrooms being used in this dish all over North Dakota. Wood-ear is traditional and part of the reason i order this dish. Nonetheless, I was delighted with my delivery experience. read more

This restaurant features great customer service. The employees are helpful and will go out of their way to ensure their customers are pleased. There is an extensive buffet. If that isn't your thing, there is a Mongolian grill where one can create their own dish and also a sushi bar, where sushi is made fresh all day. I think it encompasses something for everyone. read more

Me and a couple of buddies decide to eat here just to see what it was like. The food wasn't that great, the reason why I'm giving it a one star is because one of my friends decide not to order, but we did give him a small part of a rice patty to taste. When the waiter saw this she flipped out, and said if you are going to eat you have to pay. Then after that she just watched us making sure we didn't give him anything else to try. read more
