I am not being funny, this is the first time we have walked out on a meal in like 2 decades, 4 people, 4 different dishes all basically inedible. Completely grotesque gooey consistency, like wallpaper glue, i can't believe that they serve something like this. Never again. read more

There are few restaurants in the area. As a vegan, I knew there would be several options here, which there were. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options and were able to customize the vegetable soup, kung pao chicken converted to kung pao tofu, and a vegetables/tofu dish. The food was delicious, flavorful, and very large portions. A great find in Tuba City. read more

Came from Palm Springs Ca, headed to Colorado. Was recommended this place and it did not disappoint!! Food was delicious and service from our server Maryanne was amazing! Didn't have time to take a picture of the food because it was that good! Would recommend again! read more

Who knew Tuba City had amazing Chinese food. Awesome prices and great service. Highly recommend

A quirky little restaurant in a strip mall. It was clean and inviting, and all the staff were very pleasant and friendly. For a small place, it had a surprisingly extensive menu. Both our dishes, although excellent, came with unusual ingredients. My Ma Pa Tofu included shelled peas. My wife's Kung Pao Chicken had slices of zucchini. The spice level was perfect, and the portions were generous. The price was also extremely reasonable. This is a great place to eat in Tuba City. I should add - they heavily advertise their buffet, but don't offer it during the summer months. "Not until August" is what we were told. read more

Food sucked. The fried rice tasted like oatmeal and all the dishes used the same sauce even though one was lemon chicken. Haha. Our waiter was the bomb, super nice with great service. Waiter made our experience worth it but would not suggest eating the food. read more

I wished I took pictures of the menu but they are all almost less than $10 which is very rare at these time and super generous in the portion of the food!! We ordered shrimp egg foo young, pepper steak, kung pao chicken, and wonton soup. All were delicious like chinatown food (msg filled food). I will pick this any day after eating lots of junk food! The owner is a little serious and no smile, but who cares! read more

We were pleasantly greeted by a friendly server as soon as we walked in. The restaurant appeared clean. The restroom area was older-looking than the dining area. There were no lunch specials, so my husband and I each ordered a dish. I had cashew chicken and he ordered teriyaki chicken. Both dishes came out quickly, hot and fresh, accompanied by rice. We found the food delicious. Servings were huge, so we each walked out with a to go container to enjoy another day. Service was outstanding from start to finish. read more

I have eaten here a lot. Today we found hair in one of our orders, called and they just said oh bring it back. The tone and the demeanor of the waiter was as if this happens a lot at this establishment. Finding the hair in the food as well as the way this situation was handled, we didn't want a replacement. Eat at this establishment at your own risk. read more

We stopped here for early dinner on the way to Scottsdale after long hours drive from Colorado. The food was good for Tuba City considering there aren't many Asian restaurants in this town. For me the food was a bit to oily, but everything taste good when you are hungry. One of the male staffs was very nice to us, but some of the female staffs they need to smile little bit, it's free to smile right? read more

This small egg drop soup! Lmao. Ordered a small one and it's the size for maybe 3-4 ppl. Purely egg and sweet. Waste of my $3.5. Food okay. I ordered from menu. As expensive as in Irvine or LA area, but not tasty enough to worth that price. -1.5 star because of the egg drop soup. -1 star because of the price. read more

This is the best Chinese Restaurant I've ever been too. I've visited other restaurants, this has the best flavor and best service. I'm sorry, but others don't compare in taste. Tuba City has the tastiest Chinese food. read more

We were driving through this town from San Diego and we stopped for the night, the food options are slim and we wanted to avoid fast food. We were a little skeptical of the small town restaurants because we weren't sure what we were gonna get. But we went to this place and we were amazed. We had the best egg drop soup that we have ever had! And we also had orange chicken and wontons that were amazing. The portions were cheap and they were huge! The customer service was amazing. We were pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately it was one night in this town, or else we would definitely return. read more

China Star - Szechuan Near Me - Tuba City, Arizona

Really not bad--$9 for an all you can eat buffet including drinks is a great deal. There aren't many options in Tuba City as one knows so this place did the job for us when we were tired after a long day of work and wanted to eat quickly. The food is not the healthiest or freshest (avoid the seafood mix) but it's standard fare. Lots of different chicken options--similar flavors in different forms-- and not so many of other meats (including "love chicken" which was a first for me). Very friendly owners and wait staff. They will bring you fresh white rice to your table if you'd like, it's not sitting out in the buffet. I was very impressed that they have a boba bar though didn't try one or their bubble teas. The vibe was relaxed and chill with many families quietly sharing their meals. It was definitely a comforting experience though the food was just average. read more

We were traveling and found this place on a hot day. What a pleasant surprise! They were taking Covid precautions as necessary. We had Sechuan style tofu with vegetables and steamed vegetables. Both were excellent! Used fresh ingredients and they know their cooking. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here for dinner while touring the Grand Canyon area with the family. Surprisingly good Chinese food for a strip mall in a very small town. It'd be mediocre for Seattle, but for a small town in Northern Arizona it was an oasis of flavor. read more

Buffett is OK, on the small side. Menu. A little pricey for the area. Fresh ambiance. Large room with tables. Has an extensive Boba bar. Very good, attentive service. Ranks higher because of the limited options in the area. read more

I was pleasantly surprised. There are not many places in town other than fast food or Denny's. I tried this on a whim. I skipped the buffet...ordered the vegetable delight and added chicken and changed it to a brown sauce. It was very good. Enjoyed the variety of vegetables especially the water chestnuts and snap peas. Service was good as well. read more

Must've changed names, but it's now called China Star. We came in for a dinner buffet, which was rather good. Some standouts included the pepper steak, chicken on a stick, etc. Pretty satisfied with the dishes. Glad we stopped by. read more

Not really authentic tasting Chinese food: weirdest Mapo tofu sauce ever, strange Kung pao chicken; decent wonton soup, and pretty okay teriyaki chicken. The vegetables in the Kung Pao chicken tasted old. The customer service from the main hostess was okay (probably we spoke to her in Mandarin); and our waiter was incredibly kind and patient! Overall taste was below average based on our Californian standards for authentic Chinese cuisine. read more

We were passing through town and looking for a mexican restaurant. Tried this place instead. We had a pleasant meal and the service was good. Service is why you eat out anyway. It appeared to be owned by Chinese and the whole family was having a meal together at a long table. That is a good sign. I passed by to visit the "facility" and what they were having looked awesome. The food was okay. The fried rice was not fresh but not bad. The menu lacked any reference to items that were spicy. I ordered based on past experience in Chinese cuisine. The spicy type food (ordered Szechuan chicken) could have been a little more spicy and the non spicy (lemon chicken) could have had a bit more flavor per my wife. It may be because of local taste. The hot tea was perfect and really enhanced the meal. If I was in the mood for Chinese and was passing through I might stop again. read more

Left the Grand Canyon and started driving to the 4 corners monument when we realized we'd need to stop for the night. We were literally in the middle of nowhere. How fortunate we were to find China Star restaurant. They allowed us to look at the buffet before deciding to stay and eat. We could tell the food on the buffet had been out for awhile, but we're always about giving a place a chance, so we stayed and ordered from the menu. They took full advantage of the chance we gave them! Hard working, courteous staff who took great care of us. The manager came and checked on us and was very gracious. What was even better was the food! The portions were huge that my husband and I were able to share and still have left overs to take with us. The egg drop soup was awesome, and we were able to just relax and enjoy each other's company. Thank you Tuba City and China Star for making what we thought would be a bad stay into a great experience and an awesome memory!! Bella Martinez-Wolfenbarger read more

Friendly hardworking staff out in the middle of nowhere. On the road without Chinese food for two weeks so what the heck. Buffet was passable, the dish we ordered off the menu was good. They have boba. They get four stars cause it's way better than I expected. read more

We did not go for the buffet but for menue and did not regret it. The food is fresh and good. Nice and quick service. read more

I usually not write any comment, but this restaurant really sucks. They add the tip by themselves and let me pay the tip twice without telling me. I will never ever come back again. read more

We stopped in Tuba City on the way to Zion to put gas and came to China Star. The waitress was very friendly and service was great. I'm vegetarian and the options were limited but I ordered vegetarian chop suey & rice. It was very fresh & veggies were nice variety & crispy. My husband ordered shrimp fried rice and he liked it as well. Glad we found a good restaurant in this area that's pretty remote. read more

Stay hungry and look for so where else to eat... The dinner buffet is what's left from lunch; cold, little variety and looks terrible!!!! Of course you don't find out until you've paid. read more

We were staying at a local hotel and were pleased to find this place since my kids love Chinese. We didn't do the buffet, which looked like a fried food extravaganza. Instead, we ordered off the menu. Choices are limited and not explained, but if you eat Chinese regularly you will recognize all the standards. Food came out quickly, hot from the kitchen, with plenty of fresh veggies, and in generous portions. Entrees run about $10, but are big enough to share. They had nice level of sauce, but even though we asked for "spicy" they were still a little mild for our taste. Note there is no alcoholic beverages here. Apparently it is illegal to sell alcohol on the reservation. Overall a nice option in a land of fast food and pizza. read more

Friendly staff, cheap and delicious comfort food, clean restaurant. Perfect for a on-the-road lunch/dinner

Delicious food tonight. Job well done. Sweet and sour chicken. Pork fried noodles. Satisfied

Worst lowest quality ever. Bad customer service. Bus group tour chose it and asked us to pay $15 per person. The selections are very limited. The only dish without meat is soy cold tofu. I asked the owner to cook a veggie dish without meat. He rejected. He can simply cook a broccoli since there is a dish broccoli with beef. I walked away. My family of 4 had dinner there. They told me the food tasted very plain. read more

Really like it! On the way to Grand Canyon and stop there. Very good service and fresh food. Buffet is great

Wasn't expecting much to be honest given how remote Tuba City is and the lack of good dining here- but was really happy with my experience. The place itself is pretty cute inside. I ordered General tso's chicken which I though was fantastic and also the passionfruit smoothie which was AMAZING! Highly recommend it. I ordered again the following week for a to go order and they had it ready in 15 minutes. This is my new favorite place in Tuba! read more

There aren't a lot of options in Tuba City and we were wanting food with some vegetables. China Star was close to our hotel and the buffet fit our need to get something fast. I can't say the food was that great, but it wasn't horrible. There was an awful lot of oil in everything. The people were nice and the price was right. read more

Great Food and Amazing Service! They were totally cool with us dining in when it was close to them closing very soon. Waiter was super courteous, helpful and humble through out. read more

Friendly staff and decent food for a decent price. All you can eat buffet is 8.99 which sure as hell beats a fast food sandwich for just a buck more. The shrimp was definitely not fresh but the beef was extremely tender. read more

The service is excellent. I went there with friends and our server was this beautiful lady. I believe her name is Christine and she made sure everything was great. Food was delicious! I recommend this to anyone traveling to Grand Canyon. read more

The restaurant and selection was relatively small as far as buffets go, but given its remote location it's pretty good. The quality of food is pretty good, and at $9 for a buffet, it's a great deal. Their Chinese doughnuts were also delicious. The manager was extremely friendly and there was excellent service. Overall, great place to stop by and grab lunch on a road trip. read more

Went for dinner with the family after a long day exploring Grand Canyon. The place is not selling itself all that well from the outside - or from the inside. However, the staff was welcoming and friendly so we decided to stay. We ordered some small spring rolls, steamed rice and different entrees hoping some of it would work. Turned out that the food was great based on low expectations with tasty sauces and meats but also fresh and crispy vegetables. Don't expect too much in a small town and don't get cheated by the exterior either. read more
