This used to be the buffet I went to as a kid but haven't been back in years! I heard they got new owners and that it's really improved so we decided to try it for Easter. We got there right when it opened and they were plenty of classic options on the buffet. They also have hibachi which I think is a really good touch. I do wish they had coconut macarons as I remember the previous once having them and those were my favorite. I always look for them at buffets. I also wish they had cream cheese wontons instead of just crab rangoons as I don't like crab. We also found the soft serve to be quite icy and not very creamy. We were a group of 4 and it seemed all the tables were for large groups but we didn't want a booth. I'm not sure if that was because it was a holiday or if that is the typical layout. Prices were reasonable, especially for the holiday. We will definitely return. read more

I took my 5 year old with me for lunch, hoping the variety would be good for my picky eater! Unfortunately, this just missed the mark for both of us. This is a stand alone restaurant with plenty of free parking! Walking in a noticed the restaurant was very clean, bright and new looking. There is a waterfall that goes into a pond in one of the corners and I definitely thought that was fun!! I also really liked how the serving station was its own "little building" in the center. The vibes here were actually really great! The person who took our money did not talk or smile. But our server was extremely friendly and quick! Always made sure I had my drink filled up and plates were taken away quickly! The food: And this is where it all fell apart. Had the server and the restaurant itself not been great, this would have easily gone to 1 star. I read another review stating "everything here is sweet" and I agree! 90% of there items were very sweet! There was a salad bar but we did not try it. The chicken here is very small pieces with little to no meat, just crunchy coating. The chicken wings had a light crisp to them, and they were large, but lacking any real flavor. There weren't many options for dessert. My biggest complaint was that certain items had "funny" or "strange" flavors to them.... Like the ice cream had a weird after taste. The French fries tasted freezer burned. They did have a kind of create your own stir fry, where you pick the items and someone cooks it (that's included in your price) may be that was better? This just fell short for me. There is a Panda Express going in next door and as much as it kills me to say (I love supporting small businesses) your money would be better spent there.... read more

So happy to have Chinese buffet back open in Riverdale. We've been waiting a long time since the Mandarin Buffet closed. From the outside, you don't notice any changes besides the signage. But it's definitely noticeable as soon as you open the door. Now there is separate entrance and exit in the vestibule. I love that you pre-pay at the counter (similar to Pizza Ranch) and when you're done dining, you can just walk out. And beverage is included, not extra. We sat ourselves. Walking around looking for seating for 2 people, all the booths around the dining room perimeter were taken. Only tables left. The tables were long and could seat a group of 8+. We just sat at the end of one. Some tables had 2 groups, 1 at each end, but were still far enough apart between them. Observing the buffet, there were lots of options. There was a Mongolian grill with a line of people picking out their frozen proteins/vegetables and a cook working his skill on the grill. Fun to watch! Then 4 tables of hot food with the usual suspects: fried rice, lo mein, shrimp/ chicken/ beef in all the sauces/ on skewers. Deep fried goodies: Cream cheese wontons, egg rolls and sugar donuts. Saw minimal "American" food: bbq ribs and French fries. The biggest table was the cold foods: jello, fruit, pudding, salad. The desert table had the classic almond short bread cookies, something that tasted like dry air paper drizzled in chocolate and an ice cream machine with strawberry or chocolate syrup. Walking out towards the exit door, I noticed a water feature. Maybe a future coy pond because I didn't see any fishes swimming. Now for my opinion. Love the remodel. Great lighting/ambience/decor. Clean (no sticky tables or floors!). Fast, friendly service (drink refills, bussing of tables). Food was HOT and replenished. Sis and I judge Chinese buffets against our favorite: Supreme Hibachi. But based on this encounter, Supreme Star might take the #1 spot. Items eaten between the 2 of us: fried rice, lo mein, garlic green beans, coconut shrimp, Mongolian beef with onions/peppers (pre-made, not the grill), black pepper chicken, sesame chicken, general zao chicken, butter and creamy mushrooms, cream cheese wontons, honey dew, cantaloupe, broccoli salad, sugar donut, almond short bread cookies and ice cream. read more

As far as Asian buffets, this one is one of the better ones. They were a lot of choices and everything was replenished quickly. The biggest selling point was their hibachi grills. They had a variety of items and many different sauces to choose from. I love seafood and the fried fish and mussels were tasty. This will definitely be in my rotation given I have a hungry teenage boy. Bonus for having chocolate and twist option for ice cream. read more

Super Star Buffet has a lot of good food and friendly staff. There are so many things to choose from and I really like their Mongolian Grill. The food is fresh and tastes great. The only thing I do not like is that it can get very busy. Since there is open seating it can take a while to find a table. Sometimes you have to share a big table with another group. Other than that it is a nice place to eat and I will go back again. read more

Super Star just recently opened up in Coon Rapids and very much reminds me of Super Moon Buffet in Golden Valley (not even sure that's still there). They have a pretty wide assortment including most standard Chinese dishes, some sushi, and a Mongolian grill. I'm never a huge fan of buffets, but service is fast, prices aren't terrible, and you could absolutely do some damage here! 3 stars may not seem like much, but this is a solid little buffet comparatively! read more

Adding this spot to our buffet rotation! My fiancé and I had gone to the buffet that was previously here and we were not impressed. We drove by again a few months later and noticed a new spot had opened up so we had to check it out. We walked in and were immediately impressed! We were sat right away and able to grab food as soon as we sat down. My fiancé loved the decor, especially the fountain wall lol everything was very clean and organized. The Hibachi grill was open and we loved that we could build our own meal. The sushi selection was also nice, we would suggest a few more options but there was a decent amount there! The staff did a good job making sure everything was well stocked and there were plenty of options to choose to eat. Overall we had a great experience and we will be back! read more

Fresh food and great service. Sushi is good . The Teppanyaki grill is most excellent. My only complaint is I would prefer that they put soy sauce bottles back on the tables . It's still available of course - you just have to fill a small container over by the sushi bar. read more

I've been to a lot of buffets, and this one was amazing! For a typical Chinese Buffet, they got the ambiance spot on, the structures inside really felt like I was inside of a temple, which is a shocking contrast from outside the buffet. 9.9/10 The service was amazing as well! The staff were very friendly and unlike most places, weren't intimidating at all! They were pretty quick as well, after finishing my drink they came over to ask if I wanted a refill. 8.9/10 The food was something else. They had the usual Lo Mein, Hibachi Grill, and sushi. However they had something I don't usually find often. Barbecue Ribs. The seasoning and sauce on them were different from any other ribs I had before, it wasn't too sweet and too dry. 10/10 Overall, I really love the place, I will look forward to coming again. Thank you for serving me! read more

Super Star Buffet - Hibachi Grill - Buffets Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Used to be good. Today not so much. Everything was pee warm, most of the chicken dishes were hard and flavorless. The steak offering was so tough I couldn't eat it. read more

I have been there 2 times. But I heard its closed now? Not sure? I liked the hibachi part the best. The other food was just ok.

We went there on Saturday afternoon. The place was fairly crowded, and a lot of kids were there (please don't let your children run all over a restaurant). The food was not bad. The seafood was done well, that's the only thing that kept this from being a 2 star. My main complaint is everything was just too sweet. Everything. Nothing really stood out except for the muscles and the shrimp mainly because they didn't taste like straight sugar. read more

I used to eat here occasionally when it was the Mandarin Buffet. A friend recently raved about a new restaurant called Super Star Buffet. An online search revealed it was at this old location. Two days ago, another friend offered to buy me lunch. I prefer dining at Kyoto Sushi when in this part of town. Since my friend doesn't care for sushi, I suggested we check this place out figuring they would have a variety of other foods. Immediately, I was impressed with the decor. It looked much nicer than the old restaurant. The food selection was good and still had a Hibachi grill. The sushi didn't look fresh, but tasted okay. The ice cream (just chocolate and vanilla) wasn't exactly soft serve. It took a while for it to come out of the machine. The restaurant was packed with other customers. Therefore, we sometimes had to wait a bit for refills of hot tea. Overall, I was pleased with this place and open to returning here. read more

This newly remodeled restaurant is a such an improvement over the previous location. I almost want to be selfish and not give a review so it remains a hidden gem. But if you are looking for an excellent Chinese buffet you have to try them. Amazing!! read more

Ordered takeout from this fantastic Chinese buffet and was blown away! The place looked freshly remodeled and inviting when we picked up. The lo mein noodles were perfectly cooked, bursting with savory flavor. The chicken sticks were tender and juicy, while the crab cheese wontons were crispy, creamy, and delicious. The egg rolls were golden, crisp, and packed with fresh ingredients. Everything was top quality and mouthwatering. A true gem for Chinese takeout in Coon Rapids, and we can't wait to order again! Highly recommend read more

We have been there 3 times since it open the food was good every time , the service has been good.

Reminds me of super moon in St. Louis park I think it was 25 a person for dinner. I will definitely come back.

The food was the same as before alot of it was tasteless and the wings are always good the steak is very tough shrimps were okay but the price has increased they were fast to clean the table but deserts were not many I was expecting it to be better than before but didn't happen would I come again I don't believe so my family was disappointed and we left 30 minutes later for $75 . They could have better fried rice and add the egg fu yung probably not since the price of eggs has gone up. But yes I will let you decide try it and let us know what you think. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place. The only thing I liked was the craw fish and they were always empty.
