  I don't really understand the complaints. It's a Chinese buffet, not fine dining. Just be happy that it's clean and that you even get some semblance of customer service being it's a Chinese restaurant. I'm giving them five stars because it's the only place in town, outside my own kitchen, with decent (emphasis on decent) Chinese food that's not overpriced fusion. I was pleasantly surprised by the roasted duck, gai lan, and steamed flounder (I think these are only served during dinner hours)... food for the Asian soul. The food is consistent, employees are nice, bathrooms are clean, and bonus points for being kid-friendly.

  This place is exactly what you would expect for an all you can eat buffet. Their name is a little deceiving as they offer a lot of different food choices besides for Asian.
  
  One of the things that I really like about this place is their sushi selection. They really do have a lot of options to choose from and all of it is technically unlimited -- sometimes I'll just fill up on their sushi because its a phenomenal deal.
  
  The lunch price comes out to around $10 and that includes a drink. Also, they prefer if you can leave cash on the table for your server.
  
  All in all, its a good place to go to if you're on a budget and want to please a lot of people at once. Everyone should be able to find what they want.

  Much improved over the old "Old country buffet." I liked the selection of food, however I would highly recommend lunch over dinner due to the price vs quality of food.

  The wait staff was very prompt & courteous.  However, I wasn't a fan of when a rag was left on my table, and I noticed it on my table when I returned back from the buffet.  The worker did apologize.  
  
  There were huge piles of beans on two tables right next to the buffet.  The workers were prepping them, while tending to other customers in the restaurant. I didn't find this to be the most sanitary measure.  
  
  There was a huge piece of cardboard  under the urinals in the men's bathroom.  Strange.  Is that for easy clean up or to absorb urine that is misfired?
  
  The flan/custard dessert was awful.  It was burnt smelling & tasting.  
  
  Overall, the main foods were decent.   Especially for being 8:00 on a Friday night.  
  
  The fried donuts were awful.  I could tell they were sitting in the warmer for awhile.

  I have seen my fair share of underwhelming Asian buffets but I have to admit, Star Ocean is mighty impressive!  Walking in you think you stumbled into a much refined establishment.  Cleanliness is obviously important, and star Ocean gets mad props for making sure the food serving tables are constantly wiped and plates at your table are never left to pile.  Food wise, hot platters of stir fried wok dishes line up with your typical fried offerings, a decent salad bar pairs well with the benefit of a Mongolian grill station.  All foods are constantly rotated with no dish left to sweat or dry out.  For $9.99 per adult for lunch, this place is a steal of a deal (though lacking a bit in seafood offerings).  Way to go, Star!
