Super inexpensive and very tasty. The variety of the buffet is very good and the food is tended to often which is a must in my opinion to keep it fresh. The sushi bar has a decent selection for a buffet and the whole establishment seems sanitary. This will be a new regular spot for me for sure.

Where the old(and seemingly unsanitary) Wok-n-Roll Buffet was in Todd’s Shopping Center, sits the newly opened«Buffet Star». This is probably the biggest buffet on the peninsula which includes a Mongolian grill(never tried it, but it looks great) and extensive sushi bar as well as about 7 – 8 buffet lines of food with the usual assortment of Chinese buffet items with seafood(I think they even have lobster during the weeknights). This place is clean, the service is courteous(not apathetic like Peking, it’s competitor who hasn’t changed their menu in… well…forever) and efficient. We recently threw a party for about 50 people in the back party room. Tommy was excellent and the waitresses did their jobs almost invisibly and efficiently. It was a small deposit and they even put my cupcakes and sparkling cider in their coolers until we were ready for them. They took care of things like getting us a lighter and scissors, etc. things we forgot. I highly recommend this place. Fresh food, great value, friendly, efficient staff… what more could you want?

5 stars for a buffet, please remember people a buffet is not the same as a regular menu driven restaurant. But still with that in mind the buffet is good and well tended the Mongolian is good but personally I would go heavy on sauces and let a couple people go ahead if you for best flavor. Sushi is good, now it’s not a dedicated sushi restaurant so don’t expect that but for a buffet the sushi is well tended and delicious they even regularly add some tempura rolls. But more than anything is the value I have been twice now for lunch and for 13 dollars for two people that’s more than worth it. I will drive across town for it IMO the best buffet in the area and yea it is better teppanyaki to me.

Just visited this place with my parents because of a Fall coupon I received in the mail. Definitely worth going here for a family outing. I went on a Sunday so since I ate the all day dinner buffet, I am not sure how different the food selection is from the normal lunch buffet. The food selection is definitely more varied than the other buffets I’ve been at with my family. It has at about 8 – 10 different styles of sushi for selection at the sushi bar, along with the seaweed, pickled ginger, and some sashimi. There is also an almost constant supply of fresh oysters and mussels. The oysters were big and small sizes, but for the buffet price, having a good selection of fresh oysters to choose from is probably already worth coming here if you like oysters. As for the other food, there is a good selection of lobster legs, whole crab, parts of crab, and shrimp. There is also the classic Chinese buffet fare, the broccoli and chicken, the stuffed crab, the spring rolls, etc, which all tasted pretty good. I did not try the lo mein or fried rice since I wanted to try the other dishes that I can’t get as readily from any Chinese take out place. Service was pretty good, the waitress we had was pretty quick in taking away our finished plates, so no complaints there. Overall atmosphere was nice and relaxed, perfect for a get together with friends, with co-workers, or eating with your family. I would definitely come back here again with family or friends!

Great remodel, food quality has improved 200%. Best buffet sushi I’ve ever had(both selection and quality). The fried foods are fried well, and are not«heavy» or greasy. Great selection. My new favorite buffet. Great seafood selection also.

I really wish I understood what the hell is wrong with people. People who make accounts simply to trash businesses and not give a serious, fair review. Since my first visit back, I’ve visited at least four more times. Consistent: clean, friendly service, fresh pans of food, beautiful décor and very affordable. This is Hampton. Not NYC. Not Vegas. It’s not gourmet but it’s good. I checked in again today and saw the horrid, mean spirited reviews which for some reason Unilocal hasn’t blocked. They normally block reviews from people who simply make an account to trash others. Terrible. Several of my colleagues and their families also visit on a regular basis. All have glowing opinions of the new Buffet Star. And, genius, none of the rolled utensils have a knife. There are three canisters of knives in plain view near the food items. I haven’t even used a knife or needed one. But my ass would get up and find one and not be traumatized or I would ask my server. We will keep returning. Keep up the awesome work.

The worst food I have ever had. On top of the service sucks. We had to get another waitress just to get out drinks. On top me and my wife got sick off the food. I will never eat there again.

Food was good, freshly added to while we were there. Lots of options. Not keen on the desserts little pieces of stodgy bland cakes. But kids liked the cookies and we had the fresh fruits and ice cream. $ 6.50 + drink but we had a coupon from newspaper. Counters could be wiped a little quicker but the seating area tables were all clean. Good meal for a good price.

The cashier with the long hair, she is the only one who is always there, she have no PESONALITY. She doesn’t need to be on the front end with an attitude and no people skills. The 12 year old boy who normally cashier has better customer service skills than her and he is just an child. I also noticed that the take out orders have went up since they have opened. I went in today and it’s my last time I’ll ever eat there again. The mash potatoes were runny, the noodles were hard and had no season to it, the fried chicken was dry and hard and the chicken with broccoli tasted flat, I used to get the hibachi chicken but lately the cook had been burning it. When in Hampton going to open up an real Chinese restaurant?

Wok and Roll revisited. Moved the furniture around some and changed the personnel. I went to eat at 17:30 and there were only about 10 sad looking people inside. Think George Orwell 1984. The food must have committed a serious crime as it was probably jailed in those trays hours before my arrival. 2 stars for the polite dish remover and the short jean skirt on the hostess. No other reason to visit again. Bleh.
