| - Starwalk Buffet is by far the worst buffet I have ever been to! Absolutely terrible!
One of my first observations was that their fabric chairs were very dirty. I attempted to find cleaner chairs at my table, but to no avail.
There really isn't that much food.
The sushi was acceptable and the raw salmon were quite good, but their soy sauce was of poor quality.
The food items staffed by chef were fairly bad, and disappointed me. I custom ordered a wonton noodle, and instead of receiving a wonton, which is comprised of grounded up meat and shrimp in a wonton wrap, I received what tasted like a Chinese meatball in a wonton wrap. A Chinese meatball in a wonton wrap is not a wonton...
The meat for the peking duck is supposed to be fairly fatty with some meat underneath the crispy skin. At Starwalk, the meat was almost entirely meat with some crispy skin and a tiny layer of fat. And, yes..., I did what I wasn't supposed to do, which is to sift through the food. I think this is because the meat was cut incorrectly.
Some of the food items that are meant to be hot were cold (ie. chicken wing, fried chicken ball). A cold chicken wing is a bad chicken wing! Some foods are meant to be eaten hot! If not hot; at the very least, warm. On the other end, the ice cream was obviously too warm because it was far, far too soft and mushy.
It is strange to see fruit slushy and popcorn being offered at a buffet... I'm not even sure what to make of this... But it immediately raised a red flag in my head. I'm aware of the reason management is offering these items and that they are directed to a certain demographic, but they should have been more subtle with wanting their customers to eat more junk food and less of the more expensive items. There motive is far too obvious and made me wonder where else they would try to use a similar approach to save a few bucks. Oh, I know! The dirty chairs!
I understand their restaurant closes at 10:00 PM, but when chefs begin to prepare to close by cleaning the kitchen and stop cooking
I understand their restaurant closes at 10:00 PM, but when chefs prepare to close by cleaning the kitchen and stop cooking, the message conveyed is that food quality and quantity can fall and it won't matter to anyone, but myself. If similar activities took place in a restaurant where I place orders through a menu, I would probably not know they're about to close...
I have never left a buffet semi-full... They only received one star because their staff cleared plates very quickly, the environment was rather nice, the real turtles near their front entrance, and how I could watch CityPulse 24 while I eat.
