Oriental Star — Restaurant in Ionia

Man, I really wanted to give them a 5 star review today!! The food was amazing, environment was clean, pleasant & very nice. My adult buffet was $13.99, in my opinion a good price. But they charged my TWO year old $8.50 for one plate of food she picked from :( I’ve never gone to a buffet that charges for kids under 3, especially $8.50! When I mentioned this at the register, the waitress was kind & got the (what I assume to be manager or owner), but the price was not adjusted :( wish I’d say we would be coming back, but $30 for just me & my TODDLER, is kinda insane! I just wanted to add- that this kind of greed over the price of children under three unfortunately caused me to leave a smaller tip. I am a young man who doesn’t have a lot of money and I was fully prepared to take my waitress what she deserved, I never tip under five dollars.

Thank you for a long-term relationship and my meal made me very...

Had not been here since before the pandemic, so was happy to see the remodeling finished. Place looks good and is very clean. Food was tasty and presented well. Pretty standard dishes but the do offer a seafood version with Cajun crawdads. The only problem happened when it was time to leave. The young girl working took a plate of food and sat eating with her back to the cash register. Several groups of diners finished and were waiting in line to pay, including me. We were all ignored while the young lady ate and played on her phone. We all stood there so long that people were semi joking about just leaving. Finally, another woman came out of the kitchen, saw the line and began cashing people out. The young woman stayed where she was and didn't help at all. Maybe she is the owner's daughter? Anyway, customer service...
