Buffet Star is a pan-asian restaurant in Vestal, New York. It is listed at 4089 Vestal Rd, Vestal, NY 13850, which places it among the local businesses of Vestal that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under buffet restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.
Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Vestal, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across New York run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.
The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 AM–9:30 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Vestal is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Vestal peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

$50 for 2 people is sort of ridiculous. This is the 4th time my husband and I have gone, different days, times so see if that affected quality. Out of the 4 visits we've only had 1 good visit. For the price we feel the quality of food is mediocre at best. Today there was a greasy film over my root beer both times, and I found hair cooked into my food. The food didn't taste good. We left after 2 plates each. Very disappointing. Definitely would not recommend. There's plenty other Chinese buffets in the area that are far better.

This business isn’t what it used to be. People be aware that if you come with 6 or 7 people they are charging for a party and not separately. Plus they are not disclosing that any where. Also get itemized bill because there are charging tips and making up there own prices $64.91 for two people is crazy. Plus they try charging for a person that didn’t eat at all only had a drink.

‼️Came here a few months ago but there needs to be a fully honest review on this place!‼️ I’ll start with the positive first: our waitress was nice, attentive, gave recommendations and didn’t hawk for a tip like some of these reviews say. We were sat in a clean spot and everything around us appeared to be clean (appeared) there’s a big variety of food which the food is the issue. I tried some different things, egg drop soup is super snot consistency and I don’t recommend. The kimchi was better, the fried chicken wings were good, and everything else that I tried tasted good- Now for the negative: despite our food tasting good for the most part- two of the four in our group got sick. I don’t know what did it. During my time I noticed unattended children sticking their hands in the food so maybe it was that. I don’t know if it’s a particular thing we ate or things not being at proper temp or whatever the case was something wasn’t right. I did some digging and found out this place has been closed down a few times due to health code violation⚠️ I only added a few of the more recent ones but it has quite the history it seems. To my understanding they’ve had a couple run ins with closin

We tried vegetarian stuffs out of the buffet area, We wanted to have Asian and we saw decent spread in the buffet so we decided to have the lunch buffet. The fresh noodles/rice hibachi was also good. Salad bar was decent too. It fills u up very quickly to be honest with u, but for 14$ plus tax it’s a lot of food. The desserts were my fav part, specially the coconut macaroons🔥🔥🔥

This caught us by surprise - it’s a smorgasbord! Dozens and dozens of options - curiosity got better of us and we had to ask the wait staff, they said it was more than 80 options. For the price (under $20 per person for dinner on a weekend!) it’s absolutely insane. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. Wish we had skipped lunch - I felt we did not do justice to the incredible effort the chefs put into the buffet. Tables after tables - appetizers, hibachi, seafood, chicken, beef, soups, desserts, ice cream - impossible to recollect. I loved the dim sums in particular.
