    chicken and string beans and RICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
    Bill T.

    Excellent with normal orders, however the lunch specials are a joke. All rice and no protein.

    To go order so I only received a glimpse of the service . But the first impression was very customer service oriented. I had shrimp toast with was bite sized and tasty . The chicken egg fu yung was fresh it could have used a little more flavor and gravy . I will definitely go back

    Delicious sushi and wonderful service. So many food and drink options. Love it here!!

    Hunan Star is consistently clean and fresh--our top choice for Chinese food in Southern Maryland. Every visit delivers hot, delicious meals and fresh sushi. We've never had a bad experience, whether dining in or ordering takeout, and we've done both many times. As someone who really values cleanliness, I appreciate the extra effort they put into maintaining a spotless, showroom-like environment for their customers.

    We came here on a Saturday for lunch specials. This was my first time trying this establishment and I was very pleased. We got a few lunch specials to try and the portions were great. I'm curious to know if these portions will be the same if you order to go. We got two general tso chickens with fried rice (one mild and one spicy), a shrimp lo mein and chicken chow mein (I believe that's what it's called). We also got two drinks which were very strong. All in all, this was a nice outing that was inexpensive and left us with more than enough food to take home. Our food came out piping hot and the owners were very attentive to us. This is a small mom and pops spot that is very causal but they do have a party room. My only complaint was there was a fly so I was constantly swatting to ensure it didn't land on my food.

    I forgot to take a picture of the sushi but it was delicious! I was craving sushi and I wanted to find a place closer to me but I decided to take the 20 mins drive for Hunan because it's so good. I ordered the Dancing Dragon Roll, Shrimp, Cucumber and Avo, Eel and cucumber, and 2 others that were for my husband but I can't remember they were all good! I will definitely come back. Only downside is that for extra eel sauce they charge $1 per container. That's ridiculous!

First time there, and I did go to them, but since she ignored me, I thought I just had to sit. Here's an idea, if all you do is charge people for dining, maybe pay attention when they go up to you to tell you that they're dining and charge them so they can do that. Anyway, the variety of food is great, however, the taste was not too good. The steak, which I didn't serve myself, was incredibly dry. You could tell from just looking at it. It was so dry, you couldn't cut it. The food in general was pretty bad. All of it was overcooked and just sitting there, even though the place was full of people. The flavors were off. Yes, they had tons of seafood, several soups although my favorite which is wonton, was not good. The potstickers were also not good. The flavor was off again. I would say that the best they had was their noodles (lo-mein) and their ice-cream cones. I didn't try the cakes, which they had several but I don't like cake. However, maybe people who like cake would appreciate them. It is very cheap. I wasn't disappointed because I wasn't expecting much to begin with. All you can eat for $16.99 is cheap, but I wouldn't go there again. I'd rather eat less but eat something that's good.

This was our first time here and we picked the premium. We went about 4 pm so it was not crowded. If you want quantity and to try new things like a hot pot station, boba station, ramen station you can find it here. There was a lot of sushi and sashimi( of course it won't be grade A ...it's a buffet) but you'll survive. LOBSTER: They bring out a limited amount of lobster every 15 mins and if you don't time it right, you won't get any. Hubster and son preferred the crab. They don't give you any utensils to break the shells so if you aren't a skilled lobster or crabestesian you may want to focus on things you can control. Otherwise it'll slow you down if achieving the getting more than your money's worth is your goal. They do have a kiddie station if your kids haven't gotten past that picky level; in other words, they'll survive! Some unusual items like chicken feet or frog legs, and abalone are something that gives you that foodie opportunity that allows you to say you've tried it.

I've been here couple times and always leave full and satisfied and make sure to get there at or around 5pm. Main reason I come here is to eat crab legs. They are cold, but also in the back they do have a seafood boil where it has snow crab legs warm. But this place offers hot pot and saw so many people heat their crab legs inside the hot pot. It's genius. It has so many good food varieties that it's hard not find something you will enjoy. Hot pot food selection is not bad at all. Always get this too when are here. But always curious, aren't these small hot pot containers a hazard? What happens if someone accidentally knocks it over? Loved their vast dessert selection and as many milk tea type Drinks you can have. How do places like this make money? Hope it stays here for a long time! I'll be back for sure.

We ordered a dozen crabs, a pound of jumbo shrimp, a bowl of cream of crab soup, an order of hush puppies and an order of fried pickles. The soup had plenty of lumps of crab meat and a nice flavor, and the portion was ample. The crabs were described as jumbo but were closer to large. At $115 for the crabs, a dozen was enough. (Side note: when the market price is that high you really should disclose it on a specials sheet or chalkboard or something. The first mention of it was on the final bill.) The crabs were steamed well and did not taste muddy at all. The shrimp likewise was perfectly cooked. The pickles and puppies were delicious. Total bill before tip came to $200. On the high side versus expectations but not alarming. Service was worse than spotty. At times it was clear that the server had tables in multiple areas of the restaurant and needed roller skates to keep up. And there were times that she was sitting talking to other employees or with her regulars. Several things we had to ask for multiple times (melted butter for crab, drink refills, a few crackers) some of which we finally gave up on ever getting and went to the bar to request. Things like silverware had to be requested. Getting the bill took longer than necessary. All in all, service was 2 to 3 stars. Setting: Worn chairs and tables. Many televisions, all set to Maryland Lottery channels for fake horse races and keno that ran nonstop. Large lottery machine near the bar that did a steady business. This was distracting and not conducive to pleasant dining. Overall the food made the trip worth it. Will go back but not for the atmosphere or the service.

I arrived here from Ronald Regan Washington international airport and used the public transportation system to get here. Thankfully, they were open for dinner and I got seated right away. The restaurant itself was not big but not small either. It could accommodate 50 people at any given time. I arrived here around 5:30 PM on a brisk Wednesday evening. It was nice to be here because of the travel that I had done the day before to get here. With that said, I spent a good amount of time eating my way through the station that they had. I was quite famished because of the air travel and definitely was looking forward to diving in. I ended up having most of the seafood related items first before diving into a second round of the seafood again I ended up with a plate of carbohydrates, mostly pasta and rice before ending the meal with a full stomach and a happy smile on my face. Definitely worth coming here because of the unlimited items that they had. At least it felt unlimited because of the share volume of food that they put out on any given day. I spent about an hour here trying to get full value for my meal which happened to be around $15-$20 with out tax and gratuity. Feeling pretty good when I've dived in. Bloated when I finally said I had enough. It was worth the effort though! If you're in the area and wouldn't love a good Chinese themed inspired buffet, consider coming here to this one in Alexandria, Virginia. I certainly recommend this one for sure. The overall experience here at this Golden Buffet restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia was very good. I overdid it calories wise, but I was on vacation. I sat near the food, which small wonderful and Daphne made me think that I could eat a lot more than I normally can on any given day. At least the price was fixed so that you can indulge beyond what you can for a fixed price. That's what I love about a buffet and the Golden buffet here in Alexandria Virginia is no different. The ambience here was very good and quiet for sure. It was just me and my stomach hurting all the food that I was eating. Once in a while, the server comes to check up on me to see if I had needed any water or anything else to drink during my stay. While the food is mass produced, you can feel that there is pride and love that goes into making such delicious dishes every day. They basically have the traditional Chinese food dishes that most Americans would enjoy, as well as other dishes that local Chinese in the area would enjoy as well. So they have a lot of stuff that can pique the curiosity of both. I eat a bunch of vegetables during my stay but majority of the food that I had was the seafood, considering that's usually the most expensive items on the menu anyway. And so, if you love buffet and Chinese food, consider coming here in the Alexandria area if you're hungry for something that would carry your dinner plans as definitely scratch that Chinese food fix that you've been craving all day long. The Golden buffet restaurant is located in Alexandria Virginia. It is physically located at 7820 Richmond Highway, a few miles from the Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport. I took the metro and a local bus to get here, which was okay. The rush hour in DC is pretty much crazy but I made it work. For the most part though, my experience here at the Golden Buffet Alexandria was good and cozy. As I write this, I'm full to the max and don't really regret it at the moment. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have a small parking area for y'all who drive. If you're like me, public transportation is available (DC metro and other public buses) for anyone and everyone who wishes to come and dine here. And of course, there's Uber and Lyft and Empower at your convenience. If you're looking for something that can fill your stomach at a reasonable price, consider coming here for your next meal in the DC / Alexandria area. Oh maybe you could probably skip a meal or so just to make room to get real value for your money. That's what I did when I came. Air travel can do that to anyone. 4.0 stars for the overall experience Support local! B

My kabob was super flavorful and maybe a tad too much? my car was smelling like a kabob factory on the ride home lol. The chicken was super juicy on the inside and the naan super fresh. The rice and side portions weren't the biggest, but it was probably some of the best Palak Aloo I've had in a while. and the brown rice was very fresh and tender. It wasnt just sitting around all day. Although upon first entering, it seemed sleepy and slow, other customers did trickle in while waiting for my food. Will definitely return and try their buffet. I miss the fresh mint lemonade the old Baji used to make. Their drink options now are a bit lacking. When eating a kabob as flavorful as this, you don't want soda making you burp. LOL.
