Reviews for China Star in Houston, TX
I like the variety, it is family friendly. The staff were really friendly. I enjoyed my meal
The food wasn't as good as people told me. The Mac n cheese is horrible, the boiled shrimp were over cooked. The best dishes... were the seafood salad served hot & mustard potato salad. The smell of a sewage issue was overwhelming so we ordered take out. Iwon't be dining there again. Read more
Large, reasonably priced, buffet. Very good selection of food. Everything was tasty. Service was excellent. Sushi bar,... tepenyaki (they call it a hibachi grill), dessert bar, and ice cream stand (both soft serve and dipped) rounded out theselection. My Wednesday night dinner (senior price) and ice tea, with tax, was $16.77 before tip. Read more
I just visted China Star off I10 East Freeway for the first time. I tried some shrimp, a few crawfish and some fried crab. I... noticed a hairlike string attached to several of the crab on my plate. It made me feel nauseous after observing this and I nolonger had an appetite. I asked for the Manager. her name was Jessica. I explained what had happened, as I had barely eatenand asked to comp my meal. She unapologetically offered a discount. I asked why would she not comp my meal. She said thehairlike string was a part of the fishing net and they can't remove all of them. Jessica picked up my plate of crab. I askedfor the bosses name & contact number. She replied he wont answer the phone anyway and walked away! My friend and I immefiatelywent to pay for the meal. She gave a 10% discount which was unacceptable to me. Jessica was unprofessional and displayed aninability to handle customer complaints. I will NEVER visit any China Star this day forward!!! Consumers, Please review thepictures below; all were taken before I left the restaurant. Unhappy Read more
Everything was fine, the food was good except for the fact that there was hair in my food! And all I got was 15% off because of... a hair in my food. Honestly, $16 per person + drink is kind of steep. Definitely not coming back. Read more
The food was barely okay. There was not as much a selection of stir fried foods as one would expect. The fried chicken was cold... and stale. The wonton soup was not edible, and I love wonton soup. ????. Other selections were warm in temp but not hot. It cost$40 for two people. I do not feel it was worth that amount. I probably will not return unfortunately. Read more
I don't know if all these China Stars are all part of one company or if they're independently owned? It was pretty busy during... the dinner hour and seemed like a lot of families were dining in. The food was ok and edible with nothing really standing out.The pans and steam table areas should probably be wiped down more often but by the way the customers were loading up theirplates, that would be difficult to maintain I imagine. Nice polite host as well as wait staff. Because I really didn't feel"wowed" by anything and I don't really have any complaints, I gave them 3 stars and would probably go back maybe once every 3 or4 months Read more
China Star is in a building that was once a Golden Corral so that goes to show you how big it is it is full of buffet tables... that are full of a lot of different foods that you normally don't see at a Chinese buffet they are Asian meals just not thetypical ones you see everywhere you go they have a very elaborate salad bar they have a dessert bar and they have a sushi bar itis freshly made right there in front of you and if that's not your cup of tea you can get a Hibachi Bowl made also another thingto note the staff are all in uniforms they look very professional they are very polite and respectful and I had no problemkeeping my glass full.
