The China Star

Traveling on business and thought I would give this place a try based on prior reviews. Went at 5:30, the food was old and dry and not fresh at all. Their were some rather loud teenagers in their who were just drinking water and loitering. Even the fortune cookie was stale, definitely won’t be back! I am giving 1 star for the staff who were nice!
I should have followed my gut and went to the iron horse a couple doors down (eaten there 3 times now during my travels and each time it was FANTASTIC!!!)

This is a very nice Chinese buffet restaurant. The building is old and unpretentious, but the food is excellent. I arrived ten or fifteen minutes before they were ready to open, but I was seated by, I presume, the charming lady who runs the restaurant. Two young men, presumably her sons, assisted in taking care of patrons. The service was top notch.
I stayed away from most of the deep fried dishes, sticking to the ones with fresh vegetables (beef snd vegetables, broccoli chicken, etc). Th vegetables were perfectly cooked – crunchy, but not too hard. The noodle dishes were very good, as was the lobster salad. There is even a desert table with fruit, pudding, and pastries.
This is a place which deserves to be patronized. It’s very apparent that those who run the restaurant work hard to please their customers. The line of dishes offered is what you would expect at an Ameriican Chinese restaurant and more. Everything is not so (excessively) sweet as you find at a Panda Express. Oh, when you go, do try the buttered shrimp. Very tasty!

My whole family enjoys eating here. we have eaten there many times and have only had maybe one or two bad experiences. Food is amazing and the service is excellent. Usually my glass never makes it to empty before I have a refill.

It’s decent. I had the buffet. The chicken on a stick was good. The amazing dish was their pork and mushroom. Crab Rangoon was average. I’d give the place a solid B– just because of the fact that it’s the only Chinese place off the highway in the middle of no where and it’s quiet and food is hot which is a plus.

It’s a Chinese buffet and not half-​bad! I’m not a fan of Chinese buffets… at all. But, the nice lady at our hotel recommend this place and we gave it a whirl. The food was overall very good. Loved the pork w/​mushrooms. All the veggies were nice and crisp the way they should be. The lo-​mein was good average and the sesame chicken was excellent. There were also some lovely little meatballs that surprised the heck out of me. Their fried foods were very fried and greasy. Egg rolls and Rangoon not very good. Some stuff was a bit on the greasy side, but if you’re careful on what you pick… this is a pretty good spot in little Osceola!
