My friend and I went here for the weekend buffet. The options and variety were very good. We enjoyed the sushi variety which is very good for a buffet! We also enjoyed the options of seafood on the buffet. My only complaint was that I felt that the crab legs were overcooked but the other "exotic" items, such as octopus and squid, along with more common shrimp dishes made up for that. The soup options were very good, more than just the typical hot and sour or egg drop. The management team also went out of their way to accommodate my friend with a special request. I will be back again and would recommend this Chinese buffet over the others in town.

The food is good for the value that is paid. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. I liked the variety of shrimps, crabs, and the potatoes wedges. Sushi is there but I am not a big fan of it.

Called in advance for a party of 32 on a Monday night , arrived 2 hours before closing . . Our second year celebrating our family b4 Christmas diner here. The staff was quick with orders even though we smashed into the place like a herd of cows. . They had several large tables waiting on us .. not at all cramped . Love the place an love the service. We eat here several times thru the year but this is our go to over Christmas. 31 adults 1child...!

Ye Star Buffet, I was hesitant to enter at first because of the most recent reviews. But I went in anyway. My overall experience was positive. When you walk in you will be greeted with a malodorous fishy smell. Do not let that scent push you away from dining here. They have the usual selection of Chinese buffet foods including the plethora of chicken dishes, a few beef based dishes, some seafood options including octopus, some soups, and desserts. The sushi selection is.. well, unique is the best way to describe it. If you’re looking for some normal sushi, head somewhere else. As for the normal food dishes, you will be able to enjoy the run of the mill delicious buffet style Chinese food. The employees were all very nice and greeted me and helped my with anything I needed.

We have been coming to Ye Star since it opened! We love it! You can also get food to go which is what we do quite often. We also dine in sometimes also and usually always have amazing service and good food.

My friends brought me here because I love Chinese food, I love buffets and, they love me lol. Really we were having a going away meal with another good friend of ours. Anyhow, the selection of fruits, seafood, sushi, condiments, soups and dessert was outstanding. Everything I ate ( 3 plates worth) was so delicious. I couldn't try all the dishes but, I will be sure to try on my next visit what I wasn't able to consume this first time. They also had a big selection of Hello Kitty items up front along with other miscellaneous knick knacks that were of some interest but, I was unprepared to shop. I will definitely be returning and bringing other paying customers. May this business stay blessed, prosperous and remain open for a long while. A new favorite of mine, for sure!

Friendly, enthusiastic staff made us feel like family. Wonderful, fresh food, and so many dessert choices! I loved everything on my plate. Fresh sushi! We will return with the rest of our family.
