The Asian Star Buffet was a big surprise to me when I was taken there for the first time. I had driven through the Festival Centre before, but somehow I had never noticed the buffet.

Since it's been awhile, as in over two years, since I took these photos, I can't honestly remember everything about this particular visit. I can, however, tell you that we have returned many times since and it has always been delicious. I will be rating on the combined experiences.

I visited this buffet many, many times while I was pregnant, even alone (which is saying something because I hate to eat alone). After the kid was born, it was the first Chinese buffet we took him to, and he loved it. His first bite of buffet food was cantaloupe, but the second was the breaded chicken for Sweet & Sour Chicken (no sauce). They have some of the best Crab Rangoon in town, and their egg rolls taste like take out egg rolls (instead of the weird, dry, flavorless egg rolls that tend to be on buffets). The best thing about this buffet is the shallow pans. They have a lot of variety and they refill often. I hate it when you go to a buffet and they have deep pans and the food just sits there for 17 hours getting gross. I do wish they offered more beef dishes, since I am not a fan of chicken, but they offer lots of vegetables so that makes me really happy!

That all being said, here's the rating and some delicious photos!
