I wanted to like Fortune Star.
Upon walking in, it's a very attractive venue and from the looks of the enormous buffet, it certainly looks inviting. There are fruit, salad, non-Asian food such as pudding and mac-n-cheese, lots of appetizers, main courses, noodles, rice, soups, even sushi. The staff is very efficient and polite.
What's not to like, right?
Well, I sampled several of the offerings and the taste was just not quite right on a lot of it. The cantaloupe looked delicious, but was hard as a rock, not quite ripe enough. The General Tso's chicken was dry on the inside and if you had a blindfold on would not recognize it as being General Tso's chicken. Hmm. Maybe it wasn't. The green beans had no taste whatsoever. After that, I was a bit hesitant to try the sushi.
Buffets are buffets. It's difficult to have that much food available to their patrons and for us patrons to expect it to be fresh and tasty, I suppose. Go for quantity and a fast meal.
