NEVER AGAIN been pukeing ever since. The last time we went here was years ago, it was delicious. We would go every other Sunday. We decided to make the drive out there since we live in AG. Boy, has the quality gone down. There was a mess by the food trays , one of the ladies working there grabbed it and was putting all back in the tray when it had been left out in the counter. I started feeling odd before we left. The entire drive back at night was focusing on the road and trying not to puke. Never again read more

Bad there looking at what your eating..and the Chinese lady said to me oh no.get other things.not just seafood cause that's expensive.wtf.my understanding when you go into a buffet what they charge you gives you the right to what ever they have out there!!!!and no limits.right?unless there's a post other wise....mother f...... But when they go to eat they want alot for nothing..star buffet never again.bad bad bad.this was a waitress and the Chinese old guy. read more

I won't be back for a long time . Food was not fresh and now I'm suffering from it . Egg foo young was ice cold on the inside. That should have been a sign . I love Mongolian BBQ , but they really screwed up my plate . Made it so sweet and liquidy . For 3 adults and 2 children it was $72.00 to eat dinner here . Too expensive for quality of food . Won't be returning unless they change the food. read more

Decent Chinese buffet. It was not very crowded when I was there because it was late. Hoping to try it again but around dinner time.

The Cashier was rude and when she swipe my card she was saying it was rejecting my card ???the owners dont care , they only care about rhe money to be honest .. Dont Go !! read more

Don't go to this place. It not clean. We found cockroaches around the food. The owner was not nice when we stepped on one cockroaches and showed it to him and ask for our money back. read more

Great buffet. I remember when this used to be Jumbo Buffet. It's remodeled now. Visited some family that lived in the area, and we went here for a birthday lunch. Now it looks great! There's a sushi bar, noodles bar, and many choices of typical buffet foods. Ice cream is now served by the scoop in several different flavors, so no more self-serve chocolate/vanilla ice cream! Great value. read more

The food was horrible. I'm realizing that after waking up at 4am with stomach pain and the need to throw up- and I did throw up. All those clams that I had! I can't believe my husband is sleeping fine while I'm over here, hating myself for ever entering those doors. My husband insisted he wanted something "buffet-style" so I figured why the hell not. First of all, the food was barely warm...that's a red flag! Why didn't I just stop there and leave! and secondly, I think most of the food I had gotten had been sitting out for a while before my husband and I got there! Bathroom reeked. All staff looked like they hated being there. And why did we need a waiter? I had been coming for years with my parents to this location. Even before the name change. My experience this time was crap-tastic and I don't think I'll ever come to this buffet again just to save myself the money and trip to the ER if needed! read more

We are done with this place. I go here because my kids like this stuff, but this last visit was about all I can take. The food was mediocre. The price is too high for the quality. The ice cream guy---let me go there---I thought he was just nice to kids, but found out he wanted my 12 year old son's phone number. Then he offered to chat privately with him. "You effing freak!" Stay the f*ck away from this place! He eyeballed my son the entire time. "If I find you near my kids, I will beat the sh*t out of you." Yeah, so don't go there is what I'm saying. read more

The Chinese food was decent for the most part. The clams and mussels were pretty good but, the oysters didn't taste fresh. As for the sushi, don't even think about trying it. Looks like it's been sitting out all day. Even the pickled ginger tasted exactly like feet. Don't ask me how I know what feet taste like, just take my word for it. The guy that prepares the sushi has no customer service skills. It was obvious he hated his job and dreaded having to serve anyone. I made the mistake of using the restroom prior to my meal. The men's room was very filthy. So disgusting, it spoiled my appetite. I'm giving them 2 stars because the Chinese food wasn't half bad. read more

They have a wide selection of food and plenty of seating space. Unfortunately this is cancelled out by their bland-tasting food. I would recommend Ming Dynasty if you are looking for a Chinese Buffet. read more

Sooo BAD, Got sick from the Sushi!! Never eat here!! Food is never fresh, and tastes soggy!!

My girlfriend had hair in her food. A worker and a waiter heard us talking about the hair. They said something to each other in what I assume was Mandarin, and he took the plate with the hair away. Then, he gave us fortune cookies like he was trying to get us to leave. Didn't say sorry or anything. The food was bad too. I don't expect much from buffets in the first place, but the gravy was sitting so long without being stirred that it was becoming solid. Same was happening with the soups. The solid foods were obviously sitting there all day without being exchanged for fresher food. Bad food and bad service. Really, don't come here. It's really bad. Really. Bad. And it cost over ten dollars for each person, I think $13. They should be paying me to eat there. read more

V Star Buffet - Hair in food. - Buffets Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Sure there are massive amounts of a variety of foods but is it fresh? Didn't seem to be. Up to health standard temperatures? How can it be? And $15 for this? I think not. Go to Hometown if your looking for a buffet.. read more

Lots of seafood selection including octopus, sushi, and crawdads. I dont eat seafood so I chose standard items. It was ok once I added soy sauce. Tried Mac n cheese didn't like it. Ribs fatty and cheese spinach was just that. Baked frozen spinach with a layer of cheese. All this added up to 2.5 stars but Mongolian grill pushed it up for me. You have to try that. Not much selection for it but still good. I've had better food but it's a buffet and lots of seafood selection including sushi. read more

I wanted to like this place. It seemed promising, with a lot of options, seafood, and even an AYCE Mongolian BBQ station. Unfortunately, it all sounded better than it tasted, or looked. It was decently priced at $32 for two people, but service was inattentive, slow, and awkward. It wouldn't have mattered if the food was amazing, but it wasn't. I was impressed that they had crawfish, roast duck, and oysters among the options but everything tasted either bland, overcooked, or not fresh. It may have helped if they had more people in the restaurant (perhaps resulting in more turnover of freshly cooked food), but that wasn't the case. There were entire sections that I didn't even bother touching, like the salad and dessert tables. And I don't know what did it (I tried a lot of hot and seafood dishes), but I got a little sick immediately after leaving the restaurant. I don't have an overly sensitive stomach and that rarely happens to me, so to use the word disappointment is an understatement. read more

See all

Went here with my parents because they said the food here was good! Well let's start off with the service! The service is really bad. The waiter kept taking our plates even when we aren't done with it. It was only 9pm and half of the trays were empty. When asked if they would refill the trays, the manager said no because they were closing already! Closing time for them was 9:30pm. I feel bad for the people that came in at 9:30 and expected to get the full buffet but they closed the Mongolian spot. The majority of the staff are eating next to us. The food is ok. They had a lot of shrimp and seafood but that's the only thing good about this place. It's kind of dirty and the staff are kind of rude! I asked for a refill and the guy slammed the stuff he was caring, picked up our cups and was pissed! One of the worst experience! read more

No malgastes tu dinero aquí, la comida no es buena. My family went here for lunch and it was a huge disappointment. Many of the dishes were quite cold (it was just after 1:00 p.m.), and everything seemed to taste pretty much the same. The chicken on a stick wasn't bad, the crab rangoon was good, but a lot of the dishes were nothing special. Bland, and (again) barely warm. Then there were were baked potatoes, cut in half, that looked as though they were a week old, The worst thing about this place is the unfriendly staff. I think their faces would crack if they even tried to smile or greet a customer. They seem to be watching the customers, presumably so that no one steals anything, but I can't imagine who would want to. They don't seem to have any idea of making diners feel welcome, except for one young man who has a big smile. Wish I knew his name. Won't be going back. read more

I went with my boyfriend, right when you walk in you get a whiff of the dirty fish water fountain. It made me lose my appetite but my boyfriend insisted. The food was not pleasant at all. I got fries that were very old. The chow mein is very greasy. The orange chicken was not good. The pizza tasted weird. The gravy looked very old. The lady who charged us was pretty nice but our server wasn't. When my boyfriend was asking her a question she interrupted and told another employee to serve us. I would be completely happy if we never come again! read more

Did not like this place one bit. The food give me one of the worst stomach pain ever. Food smelled awful, greasy, and as if it was pass it's due date. Also one the waiter was very rude and told me to not to get a lot of food because I'm just wasting their money and I just was like but a buffet. They told me if I didn't like I could leave so I told them then I will want my money back, they told no we don't have give you nothing and if you keep on causing problems we will call the police. So I just left. Worst place in town will never go back. I even found cockroaches and maggots where their food was at, simply awful. read more

So far all the food is good... i like the mushroom chicken the best though.one of the best buffets around.

I'm back for my second visit and have enjoyed a good meal for a cheap price. Food was the right temperature (either cool for chilled, or hot for warm items). An employee dipped my ice cream and it was good. We will be back as this is our home for the next few years. read more

I am not exaggerating when I say this is the worse chinese food I have ever had. Visiting my mom from LA, she suggests we try this buffet. Food was inconsistent with temperature, some dishes were extra saltt, some dishes were extra bland. I look around and I see people drowning their food in tapatio. If you have to drown your food in hot sauce, there is something wrong with your food. Dont bother going here. read more

the female owner came and asked me why i am eating so much crawfish (i took everything in the tray). uh excuse me??!? this is "buffet". thats the whole point. i eat all i can! why are u asking again?!? ridiculous. read more

Not Good at all！！！Do not go！Service really bad！We don't know the time. They said is open and let us go inside and charge us before eating. Than after 10 minutes, they start to collet the food and tell us they will close. After that, they throw the food in front of me. So ugly! read more

Definitely not 5 star. Yeah they have sushi and made to order stir fry but it's always so busy. I usually have to go track someone down and request drink refills and our used plates are piled for a while before they pick then up. They are also pretty stingy with the ice cream and they get all pissy when you ask for more. read more

We usually like this place, however today was the exception. The food was cold and it was kinda raunchy to be honest. I'll not be back for a while. Hopefully they get their act together. read more

The one time I went a couple years ago, me and my friend came and there was eggs inside the crab

This place is garbage. I cannot believe this place is even is business .. the staff is rude and seem to disappear when your in need of a refill. The food seemed to be from a few days ago everything had a crunch to eat including the steamed rice .. I highly recommend you to stay away from the place so you don't have to face your families disappointed faces read more

Well..... This place absolutely sucks. Considering it was just under $40 for 2 adults and a 4 year old, it was a rip. I had maybe half a plate of "food" that was just terrible. Had to get up and leave. The things I did try were super salty and/or flavorless. Most of it did not look good. Seemed like a cafeteria from hell. Staff was crabby and mostly ignored people. Did not like how the dining area they were shoving people into was separated from the Asian dining room. It was a large room too. Maybe it was for family of the staff? Either way, take your $40 elsewhere. Nothing to see here. read more

The last two times I've came here I have gotten a horrible stomach ache. Food seems like it's been left for long periods of time just sitting there. Cashier was rude waitress was ok. Will not be coming back. read more

Like the food. It's alright. But the boy serving ice cream. "Daniel" he was super rude to people!!!! Wasn't nice at all. You guys should put an adult!!! Not a little kid! And the restrooms are always dirty!!! read more

Foods displayed 5/10, quality of foods 4/10, serviced 3/10, dinning room cleanliness 3/10

This place should be closed down permanently. The inside is so ugly, they shouldn't have spray painted the stars on the wall. The food is disgusting and i feel like they heat whatever is left over and put it out for the next day. once i walked in the owner was sitting by the Tv eating seeds and leaving them on the table just for everyone to see. He was making his employees give him a massage. The whole entire time i was observing my surroundings. read more

Come with Travel agency. Bad place bad service, they asked $1 tips before they cook. That's ridiculous. As a Asian, Shame on them.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! COCKROACH found in my food !!!!!!!!! I was eating the Choi Mein and when I lifted my fork there it was. I told the waiter and her only response was a food voucher for my next visit. Am never going back there and you shouldn't either read more

Would not recommend coming to this place. The pricing for a single person is what you would expect of a buffet. No complaint when it comes to pricing. The selection is odd (to be nice): It is a Chinese themed restaurant. They do serve some Chinese food, along with french fries, Tacos, Macaroni, etc... The selection is very weird. It all tastes a little odd also. All in all, i was very unsatisfied with this place. Don't come here!! read more

Expensive, horrible service and rude employees. They make you feel uncomfortable and the food is not so great. Never going here again.

What can I say....wouldn't let me rate zero stars. Price good, but you know what they say. You get what you pay for!!! Mongolian BBQ, little cook, says tip $1 before she would even cook the food. Asked for teriyaki, but tasted like nothing. All the steamed seafood, on ice was soggy or dried out. Figured I would try the rest of the buffet...nope all looked old and dried out or swimming in greasy/oil...well didn't even attempt the desert bar, which they serve you the ice cream...... definitely will not eat there again!!! read more

There is a lot of choice here.. Af course it is a chinese food.. But they also serve mexican food.. And some other asian food.. The place is clean and the staff is very nice.. The food tasted ok.. Nothing to fancy.. But the chef bar.. The one that u can choose any raw food and he will cook it on the spot.. I like that! The food tasted fresh and steaming hot.. This place is very spacious.. They even have sushi bar.. To me thay taste good.. Give it a try! read more
