Restaurant: China Star BuffetLocation: 95th & Metcalf, Overland Park, KS
Cuisine: ChinesePrice: $$ inexpensive
Ambience: ** very goodNotes: chinese music playing softly in background.
Food: *** excellentNotes: Excellent buffet
Service: *** excellentNotes: Servers keep dishes picked up and drinks filled
Favorites: Black Pepper Pork, Squid, Crab Rangoons
Comments: This is an excellent place to go for chinese buffet. They have pretty much what other chinese restaurants have on their buffet, although the squid was something different. Everything was pretty tasty and the staff worked hard to keep the used dishes picked up and the drinks filled. They also keep the buffet area clean and never let a food item get too low. The only area that needed some attention and cleaning was the bathroom, but that's a common theme in many restaurants. Why I don't know. The dessert area was pretty ordinary with soft serve ice cream and store bought cookies. Met the owner and/or manager who is a very friendly, outgoing lady. It seems like everyone here tries very hard to make sure you are happy and that has got to count for something in this day and age of the "zombie" teenage servers you get elsewhere. Give it a try!

Restaurant: China Star BuffetLocation: Overland Park, Kansas
Cuisine: ChinesePrice: $$ inexpensive
Ambience: **** superbNotes: Eye pleasing
Food: * averageNotes: Might have been the time of day, but stuff was dried out.
Service: *** excellentNotes: Service with a smile, refilled my drink at least.
Favorites: Sesame chicken (didn't see it there), lo mein
Comments: Wasn't too happy with the buffet for a $10 meal. The service was okay but the food wasn't up to par that night. Very large, eye pleasing arrangement, clean, remarkable air quality (I guess because there is no smoking and it's Kansas). Would like to try it again if the food was fresher.

Restaurant: China StarLocation: 95th & Metcalf
Cuisine: Chinese buffetPrice: $$ inexpensive
Ambience: * averageNotes: basic buffet place
Food: * averageNotes: don't go late -- they don't refresh the buffet at night!
Service: * averageNotes: _
Favorites: none
Comments: We've been twice, and both times were disappointed. The first time, we just thought the food was okay, but not as good as at other buffets. The next time, we went at about 8:30 pm, and although the restaurant still had quite a few patrons, the buffet was nearly empty, with cold and congealing food on the tables. YUCK!

Restaurant: China StarLocation: 95th Metcalf
Cuisine: ChinesePrice: $$ inexpensive
Ambience: * averageNotes: Nice open areas, and access to the buffet line.
Food: * averageNotes: Very average nothing special at all!!!
Service: * averageNotes: They tend to keep the drinks acummin, pretty good!
Favorites: Its all pretty bland for my taste.
Comments: The normal services expected were just that, expected its a buffet. The over all upkeep of the place needs to be worked on. There was an incicdent of a crawling pest so I have not eaten at the restaurant since then, and I'm sure it was a one time thing but for me thats one time to many, like many other chinese restaurants in KC it was average as far as the food was concered.
