I had a great experience at V Star Buffet. (11/19/2025) The food selection was generous, freshly prepared, and consistently replenished. The flavors were delicious, and I appreciated how well-organized each station was. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to assist with anything we needed. The dining area was clean and comfortable, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I look forward to coming back again whenever I'm back in town. My other observation is maybe they need to put hand sanitizer in every section of the dining area. Great job to all the staff!

I have been coming here for almost 15 years! I still refer to it as Lucky Buffet. In fact, I used to go to the owner's old buffet location across the street. I have vivid memories going there with family and he'd have big TVs on raffle. Food hasn't changed much since then from what I remember. For what it's worth, I do like it and it's good for what it is locally. Especially their honey mayo shrimp and broccoli beef. The beef is always so tender and the broccoli is super green, fresh and has a nice crisp! I have also ordered catering a few times in the past year and their portions are HUGE! You definitely get what you pay for, which is also really reasonable. (See attached catering menu) Their location also has big rooms for parties, too. I am not sure of cost to rent though. Prior to a year ago, I haven't been here in a few years and I was glad to see they updated their facility. It is much cleaner. Their service is also good. They are always coming around to clear your plates to try to keep the area tidy. Parking is also really easy as they have a big lot.

Dinner menu-only items - Salmon, mayo mussels, crawfish, cod, shrimp, and crab (not in photo; right of shrimp)

Came in for monday dinner. Total cost was a bit over 27 dollars. This buffet is just okay. The food is warm, the sushi got an upgrade compared to 10 years ago, but I still miss the old version of stuffed crab, stuffed mushrooms, the dinner menu was missing the green beans you would see at most buffets, crab casserole, french chicken, and cheesy spinach. The selection is acceptable. The quality of the food overall is about average and is not anything to write home about. It is what it is, a buffet monopoly in Everett. The only other buffet is many miles away and not nearly as good.

Food was very cold. The veggie rolls were soggy. Chicken was cold. Looked like it had been sitting there for a long period of time.

Has anyone rented a private room there before? if so how much was the room?

I've asked about the private room and if you're doing a small event for 20-30 people the owner would charge per person rather than charging $250/hr and you only get 2.5 hours to spend and a sectioned off area of a couple rows of table. If it's for a…

I'm a fan of buffets. There is a communal feeling as everyone saddles up to the food. And it's the…read moregreat equalizer. No matter your station in life, you serve yourself. Grand Buffet from the outside entrance has a humble vibe. There are no fountains or statues. And the bathrooms have a disinfectant quality in the air. Somewhat dated. Not oozing with warmth. But clean in my experience with a no frills way of washing hands before eating. The staff will seat you, but I typically will get the appetizers, then find a seat. The staff are usually quick to see if you don't have a glass and will take your order if you choose to start that way. With families, I'm sure having them seat you is preferred. And seating, even on a busy day, is not too difficult. I estimate seating for about 100 people is available. That's based on a tour bus with 44 Japanese tourists coming in for lunch and not having any difficulty finding seating for lunch. The tour guide said he always brings his customers there after crossing the border from Canada, where they arrived. I mentioned appetizers. In addition there are main dishes, sides, some American offerings (Fried chicken wings, Pacific oysters on the half shell, French fries, crab rangoon), fresh fruit, a variety of salads, salad bar, and desserts including soft serve ice cream. The typical soft drinks, hot tea, or bottled beer is available. Dinner frequently includes salt and pepper fried crab half's. You may miss them at lunch. Sometimes they only serve them for dinner. There is also a Mongolian grill at the back of the buffet, that offers meats (beef, pork) or seafood (shrimp), noodles, vegetables, and different sauces. This is manned by one of the staff to cook your food with your sauce preference. They use a hot flat top grill to cook your food right in front of you. If you have your heart set trying that and don't see any staff, just ask for help from one of the waitresses. To get the full experience do try something from each section. The main dishes have chicken, beef. pork, shrimp, crab, and imitation crab. Easily labeled and recognizable. Buffets are logistical nightmares with the common element of consistency being the goal. Seasoning can also present challenges when trying to make everyone happy. Over the years visiting this place, it's been consistently at the right temperature, seasoned appropriately, well maintained with all serving pans filled with food, and clean. The staff are rock solid. No deviation from being there making sure your glass is full and being polite and helpful. This week I chose a Friday at 3:34 PM. To my surprise the parking lot was half full. Usually there is a steep lull between lunch and dinner. That was the only surprise. Everything else was at a standard I expect. Which is why I come back. ADA parking and access. Parking is ample with overflow parking. As of January 2026 cost for Dinner, one adult: $20.75

Yum yum, as my mom would say! They had a lot to choose from considering it looks pretty quaint from…read morethe outside. I know many people who recommend this buffet and now I can say the same. It was mostly your standard Chinese fare, all cooked in one way or another: shrimp cooked about 6 different ways, beef and broccoli, a Mongolian grill - just pick your ingredients and bring it to them, as well as a small dessert bar including soft serve with cones! I left satisfied with the options and the price. It's a lot bigger inside and can accommodate large groups, if necessary. We brought in 30 and had our own section. There was still plenty of room and the server comes around refilling drinks regularly (pay for these separately from your dining bill), as well as brings the bill towards the end of your dining experience.

The food is generally good, with two exceptions: the lobster and the steamed snow crab. Lobster takes about20 to 25 minutes to steam each one, and the line gets incredibly long during dinner. During my 1 and a half hour visit, I only managed to eat half of a lobster. Some guests would receive their lobster halves, have their spouses save them at the table, and then immediately get back in line for more, sometimes cutting in front of people who'd been waiting, which felt frustrating. The steamed snow crab was overly salty and much softer than expected, and the legs and claws could be squeezed easily, which made them seem overcooked. On the plus side, one nice improvement is that the restaurant now offers self-serve fountain drinks, including soft drinks, tea, and coffee. One thing that left a bad impression was the payment experience. Since tipping is optional, I crossed out the tip line and paid the exact amount due. Afterward, two employees spoke to each other in Chinese while looking in my direction, and I felt uncomfortable, as if they might be commenting on me not leaving a tip. I can't be certain what they were saying, but the interaction made me feel unwelcome. Aside from the lobster and snow crab, the rest of the food was good, with a nice variety to choose from. The total cost was approximately $49 per person, including tax. If you're mainly coming for the lobster, be prepared for a long wait. But if you're interested in the rest of the buffet, it's still a decent value.

It's a small, family‑run spot--husband in the kitchen cooking and wife running the front of the house, greeting guests, bussing tables, and keeping everything moving smoothly. The place has a comfortable, welcoming feel because of that. I went straight for my usual favorites: the Szechuan green beans, salt and pepper prawns, broccoli beef, butterfly prawns, egg foo young, and hot and sour soup. Everything tasted fresh and well‑seasoned, just like I expect from them. My kids loaded up on sushi, egg rolls, and coconut prawns--no complaints from them either. For $15.95 per adult for the dinner buffet, it's an excellent value, especially considering the variety and the quality. Whenever I'm near Monroe, I'll definitely be back.

For the price, the food was average. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing stood out either. What really impacted our experience was the service toward the end of our visit. Our reservation started at 5:45 PM, and we had until 7:45 PM. However, around 7:15 PM, a waitress began repeatedly staring at our table, making it feel like we were being rushed out before our allotted time was up. We were celebrating a birthday and hadn't even finished dessert, but the atmosphere became uncomfortable enough that we decided to leave early. Guests should be able to enjoy their full dining time without feeling pressured to leave. Overall, the experience didn't justify the cost, and unfortunately we wouldn't return.
