I was able to finally able to take my wife out on our very first real date and I could not have been more pleased with the welcoming feelings shared, the food that I believe is nicely priced considering they have actually Chefs not simply cooks. Most of all I haven't had the kind of service like I had at the Pompano in a very long time, that kind of service that I wanted to give that extra tip. Greeting staff and Service was five star, Food likely the only Five stars I personally would give in the area ( you have got to try the bone marrow) . The price was right considering you get what you pay for at with the Pompano. Outstanding all around , I highly recommend the Pompano.

Price is reasonable and of course, it's all you can eat and drink for one price. The restroom was very clean and had ample supplies. The parking lot has plenty of parking and the handicap area was accessible to the front entrance. Don't feel like dining inside or in a hurry? There is a drive through available. All in all, my first experience here went swimmingly. With the plethora of Mexican food restaurants, this is a pleasant change with home style cooking.

I hope more people come because they deserve the business This location includes 37 different entrees, desserts, ice cream, and they have a hibachi Mongolian style grill with steak, ribs, and sushi. Can't recommend it enough

Tepenyaki / Hibachi Grill /Mongolian BBQ is back at China Star…read more Tonight I went to China Star, on Dowlen, next to Chucky Cheese and across from Parkdale. This was my first time back in several months to what had been our family favorite. The buffet and sushi bar were substantially unchanged, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that China Star had reopened it's "Hibachi Grill" where patrons can assemble their choices of vegetables, noodles, spices, chicken, beef, pork, and steak. The plate will be cooked to order with the patrons' choice of sauces, all in front of the customer. There is no extra charge for this. Among the choices of raw items that may be chosen are minced garlic, pineapple, celery, shredded carrots, cabbage, green onions, mushrooms, and eggs. The proteins mentioned above were chicken, beef, pork, and steak. I normally would get one plate, plus the buffet and sushi, but tonight (since they had my favorite cut of steak) I had two plates, and less buffet.

I had my son's birthday party here today and unfortunately, it was one of the worst customer…read moreservice experiences I've ever had. From the moment our guests arrived, the manager repeatedly harassed people about whether they had paid. There was no sign posted anywhere stating that party guests had to pay upon entering, and several people were only there to celebrate with us they didn't even eat. Despite that, they were still questioned and made to feel uncomfortable. What really upset me was seeing the manager approach a 12-year-old child and try to take his drink, asking if he had paid for it. That should have never happened. I repeatedly explained that everyone had paid, and every guest had a receipt. I even asked if they wanted to see my bank transaction because the constant questioning had become excessive and embarrassing. Another issue was that they charged children the adult buffet price simply because of their height. They're still children, and that policy should be made clear before charging families. To make matters worse, much of the food was cold. We actually had to wait until fresh, hot food was brought out before we could eat and still didn't enjoy because it was all disgusting. Overall, what should have been a joyful celebration turned into a stressful and frustrating experience because of how we and our guests were treated. I believe customer service should make people feel welcomed, not singled out or accused. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

Young employee Alexandra constantly taking out her cell phone from her back pocket. Checks it every half a minute. She took long to charge me as a cashier because of her finishing up a text. A text to a friend or her boss? Who cares? Phones are not to be your first priority. It's the customer. That's all I noticed as I sat there to eat my hard wheat roll. I wasn't being a Karen. I made the mistake to sit behind her and all I saw was her phone being taken out and whipped back in like an expert cowboy holstering up his gun) That's how much she does it). Manager with yellow hair yells at her employees like she brought her Waffle House habits with her to Luby's. Looks very ghetto there. I noticed a male employee finishing his shift going to his black mustang, placing lots of full Luby's bags in his trunk and taking off. Maybe he paid for all that food! Maybe he didn't. Where's his receipt to show his purchase? I'm sure he paid for half cuz that was alot of bags! This was on Friday Juneteenth. I don't think this Luby's will last open very long. Reason for shut down: lack of management. You can't feed all your friends and family and yourself for free. You'll close down the place. I was bored that day waiting for my husband. So I just sat there eating my dessert witnessing all of their behaviors. Do not go there. Unless you're wanting to eat hard rolls and limited portions. I guess you employees are keeping the soft rolls and large serving portions for yourselves. That's not fair your customers pay top dollar and leave hungry and y'all get the BEST FOR FREE!!!
