Amazing food for the price. Literally something for everyone. Also, good for takeout as you get what you want from the buffet and pay by weight. Staff is nice and constantly removes plates and fills drinks.

Moderately good and priced. Good variety of food as well. The premises don't look super clean probably because of its age.

Consistent food selection almost there. No problem being seated right away. Sanitizer available At main entrance. So they keep restocking food that runouts. Overalls, pretty good on lunch hour as most contractors there. Be hungry to do this buffet.

Typical all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet for this area -reasonably priced for the wide choices they make available. Has hibachi and sushi and 4 soups, as well as several hot entree selections and salad bar. Food: 4/5 We liked the fresh sesame green beans (cooked just right-not overdone). Folks in our group also liked gyoza pot stickers, teriyaki chicken, chicken on a stick, custard cups, several of the spicy hot dishes, and the white fish. The desserts are ok and there is a chocolate fountain with marshmallows for the kids to dip. The price is right at $9 for lunch. Higher price and more foods added for dinner. -Drinks Are extra. Service 5/5. Servers are friendly, pleasant, efficient, masked, and not intrusive as they quickly remove the used plates from your table . Facility 3/5. Unchanged for several years -but this is understandable after COVID hit all local restaurants hard. There are tables and booths. The aisles for food are large enough for distancing. Location 5/5 Handy to Athens-in a small strip mall off a main thoroughfare. Several stores and other restaurants nearby. Look for the Academy Sports building at the corner of the intersection

Overall, my experience at the China star buffet was a positive one! The building from the outside honestly looks a little sketchy. I was skeptical going in, but is soon as you open the doors it is clean, pretty, and has a nice atmosphere. We got a table right away during lunchtime and we had no problem getting service. For lunch the price was about eight dollars which I think is very reasonable for a buffet. There was lots of items to choose from, including a vast choice of sushi, and before hibachi Grill made to order. There was one time soup, (one of my favorites), dumplings, a salad bar, and plenty of chicken and rice. The buffet says there are over 300 items... I honestly highly doubt that unless you count literally every single thing including all the different salad dressings they offer at the salad bar. But they still had a lot of choices! Even pizza...which is always a little funny to find pizza at a Chinese resturant. There is also plenty of parking nearby. I would definitely recommend and check this place out if you are looking to pig out for cheap!
