The food was good, we believed it to be fresh, correct temperatures for each of the items we tried. Since it was after the lunch rush (1:45 PM) the restaurant was fairly empty maybe about 10 two toppers, which for us was great bc our plates were removed promptly. There are several big screen TV's throughout the restaurant, albeit they were on sports channels it was still something to watch. They have a Sushi and Hibachi bar as well as 5 food bars including desserts. They serve fountainPepsi products however they also have can CocaColas.

SKIP THIS BUFFET!…read more I've given this place multiple chances, and every visit has been consistently disappointing. The food quality is honestly concerning. The crawfish were small, overly brown, and had a squishy texture that didn't feel fresh at all. Most of the food on the buffet was cold, including the chicken, which tasted like it had been sitting out far too long and had a strange texture. The chow mein, which is usually my go-to, was overcooked and chewy. The broccoli dish was covered in an extremely salty brown sauce, and the crab was undercooked and stuck to the shell. Nothing tasted fresh or properly prepared. We tried to politely bring this up, but the response from staff, possibly the manager, was dismissive and rude. Instead of addressing the issue, we were basically told there's no guarantee we'd like the food. That completely misses the point this wasn't about preference, it was about poor quality. We spent around $30-40 and left feeling like it was a total waste. We actually ended up leaving and going somewhere else to buy another dinner. Unfortunately, I would not recommend Ye Star Chinese Buffet. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I should be ashamed. I lived here 5 years initially when I went to college and we moved back over a…read moreyear ago. Never did I try Taz. That is, until yesterday. It's been on my "to try" list since we moved back, and I will now have to resist stopping in weekly. Every single part of our meal was divine. We were greeted and sat promptly. The starter which was a thinly fried lentil "chip" with mint sauce and tamarind sauce was excellent and light. My husband ordered the Non-Vegi Thali which came with Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, Dal Fry, Raitha, Rice, Biriyani rice, Naan, and Gulab Juman to sample and I got Lamb Kurma with Garlic Naan. My word- I don't think I've ever been somewhere that every single item was exceptional. Unfortunately, we had to dash to a PTO meeting, but our waiter helped us box up quickly, and I spent that whole meeting longing to get home and eat the rest of my meal. I cannot wait to come in and try the lunch buffet! Also, it's notable that they just renovated the restaurant, and it was beautiful and clean. Taz, I apologize for waiting this long to try you out, but you've got a customer for life now!

I went with my family to celebrate a birthday here and we brought along a friend and a baby. The…read morewoman (most likely the owner) was extraordinarily accommodating and made sure we all were comfortable (and we were!). Once the table was set, most of us ordered unsweet tea and it was tough to drink. It tasted like stale Whataburger tea. I asked for lemons and Sweet N Low but they only had Splenda. She brought out the sides for our table and the kimchi was okay...nothing that had fermented long enough. The cold radish was a highlight. The potatoes were tough and I did not even try the jelly... For our entrees, all of us got bulgogi except for my mother who got the spicy seafood soup. Our friend tried ordering the sautéed chicken but the waitress literally said, "is it your first time? You get bulgogi. I promise." She completely hijacked his ordering experience and ended up with a dish he didn't like. None of us liked our food (except my mother). "Mom, y'all (referring to me and her) make better bulgogi than this at home," said my brother. I don't disagree...the texture was rubbery and it was tasteless. This being my 3rd time here (I always get some form of bibimbap), I expected the same quality. The presentation was nice but so much was lacking. Great service, C-tier food.

The interiors are clean and relaxing. A little bit pricey, but portions were large and the high quality ingredients make up for it.

I want to make sure and try the kimchi soup next time since we saw so many people order it.

They offer a great variety--appetizers, fried rice, noodles, steak, chicken, shrimp, and plenty of sushi. To finish it off, they have dessert options like fried cheesecake or ice cream for that sweet-tooth craving. There is a 2-hour limit, but honestly, I've never needed more than an hour. It's definitely worth the money. The service has always been good as well, from the servers to the hostesses.

I flew into College Station for a meeting and needed something quick, so I figured AYCE sushi at…read moreSushi Masa would be an easy in-and-out lunch. That part didn't quite go as planned. The place was packed for a Wednesday lunch, which is usually a good sign. Luckily, they've got bar seating, so I didn't have to wait long. The vibe is nice--modern, a little loud, but still easy enough to hold a conversation. Definitely feels like a spot that works well for small groups, though they could probably handle bigger ones with a reservation. My server was actually great--super attentive and doing their best. The issue was clearly coming from the kitchen. Orders got messed up twice, and it was taking 15+ minutes just to get a single roll. By the time everything got corrected, I had already been there for over an hour and had to ask for the check and head out. Food-wise, it's pretty standard AYCE sushi. The lunch menu is a lot more limited compared to dinner, so if you're going for variety (especially sashimi), dinner is probably the better move. Pricing is about what you'd expect, and the refillable soda is a nice bonus. Overall, not a bad spot, but not ideal if you're in a rush. If the kitchen can keep up with the volume, this place would be a lot more enjoyable.

I honestly really love this place and we've been here a lot BUT this time around no one - and I…read moremean no one - had their little fans on above the grills to suck up the smoke from the grills. The air was so thick and as someone with asthma it was hard for me to sit through the meal. It was really unfortunate because I love this place! I'm not sure if I'll be back since it seemed to impact my health a lot. Food was delicious, and service was excellent. They've added some new items like enoki mushrooms and other traditional Korean/japanese items to the hotpot bar which was really nice. Making our own sauce is always fun too.

Here, "I paid a lot for this meal so it must have been great" is the unconscious bias. But Jedi mind tricks don't work on me. For starters, we make it clear to our server that we'd never been there before and needed an explanation of what to do. The explanation we got kinda sorta answered the question, but not that well. Then, I simply picked wrong when I chose two meats for starters; I didn't care for the seasoning on the Spicy Beef Bulgogi or the Spicy Calamari. I also ordered eggplant, and what I got looked exactly like what my wife had recently thrown out at home because it was too old. You know how they constantly scrape the grille clean at a Mongolian BBQ? There's no way to do that here. When we asked if there was, the answer was "I'll get you a new one", which did temporarily solve the problem, but the new surface soon had a blackened coating no different from the one before. Finally I had the sense to order Garlic Shrimps [sic], which I recommend, but as I was cooking it, it seemed like it was taking a long time. Eventually I looked at the controls at the side of the table, and our burner was turned off! I turned it back on and we finished our meal. Overall, it had been an interesting experience, but one we'll probably not repeat.

What an awful eating experience & it wasn't even 1230 noon!…read more List of food that was barely lukewarm: cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, popcorn shrimp, baked fish, Aunt B's fried chicken, fried okra, cheese sauce. What was not chilled was the carrot salad. Desserts: choc mini cupcakes were so DRY! So were the peanut butter cookies. The size of the cookies have shrunk! NOW! Let's all discuss the chicken enchilada! I wasn't expecting much at this point. HOWEVER I did not expect to find a good sized BONE in the middle of the enchilada! The service was non existent. Sure I was only drinking water but would it have been too much to expect to at least get a refill or even asked!! When I pointed out the bone? The server took my plate to the back & said she would tell the mgr. she also told me someone would be checking the temp on the food. I have to assume it was on the food in the back because I did not see anyone even looking at any of the meal on the line. I've been to the place several times but the quality has gone down. The food was bland & since it wasn't even hot? Wasn't worth eating. Sad fact that the fresh pineapple, pea salad & fried fish were the only really good items that I ate. Really leaves a bad taste in my mouth both literally and figuratively.

We chose the "full experience," which included all the signature meat selections plus special Thanksgiving offerings like turkey, dressing, and classic sides.

It was a huge disappointment and embarrassment to the couple and our family. There were 6 preparations of beef, only one was edible, mainly because it had a lot of sauce. They wasted a huge amount of the custom beef we provided by cooking 300+ pounds of meat for 130 guests. Two of the biggest cuts were not even brought out and carved. When we got the leftovers home, the inside of these big cuts were raw and foul smelling. Obviously, they were inadequately cooked and then left to sit at room temperature. I would NOT recommend them if you want to have confidence that your wedding meal will be edible. I am giving them two stars because the servers and personnel on site at the event were kind and did a good job.
