wow. This place blows the predecessor out of the water. Food and service is light years better. They also have a full sushi bar that has both sushi and sashimi and kim chee. They have all the usual Chinese buffet fare as well. I think it's the crab legs that keeps most people coming here. I used to go to China Star just because it was convenient and I lived nearby - not that I thought it was great. Now I don't even hesitate to come to Shanghai Buffet - it rocks so much I forgot about the other Chinese Buffet choices nearby.
