Fortune Star Buffet
Monday - Friday Lunch is $8.25 only coupon I have seen is in the mail for 10% off and free lunch on your birthday with a party of 4 or more.
This sounds expensive but what they offer makes this worth a try.....if you are like me you will
get hooked on this place.
They show you to your table and ask you what drink you would like ( included ) I like hot tea
and water or orange soda.....then you can attack......grab a plate and wander around this fairly spacious place...seats about 70 or so...there is a sushi chef rolling fresh rolls the entire lunch
service.....rolls with salmon,tuna,california are all represented here....rolls with the rice on the outside,on the inside,lumped with fish laying across it (Inari I believe)......they even have deep fried sushi with colored mayo squeezed out in a decorative pattern....what a unique and wonderful taste.....one you never make at home! I like the California rolls and the spicy tuna
is very nice.....my sister Keiko loves the salmon sushi.....tastes like buttery fish......on the main steam table you will always find deep fried shrimp in the shell,deep fried seasoned salt squid,
mussels in black bean sauce,blue crabs in ginger scallion sauce,and your standard fare of General
Tso's chicken,Beef and Brocolli,Lo Mein,and at the end of this steam table always sits a pizza
of some flavor.....I have seen pineapple a lot.....behind steam table number one you have number
2 which has a different selection each time I go....Fried Chicken wings are good here,clams stuffed with cheese ( Never tried these ) Har Gow shrimp dumplings like Dim Sum have appeared on the end of this table the last few times I have visited....perpendicular to these 2 tables you will find a smaller 3rd. steam table that has steamer baskets with dim sum dumplings of varying sorts,rice and fried rice,and I like the small pork spare rib bones in black bean sauce,and
I admit to liking the chicken feet....weird to look at but tastes like the skin on a chicken wing.....
along the outer walls you will find a meager salad bar,fruit bar,desert bar ( do not pick the pastry
that looks like chocolate,it is brown bean paste),iced seafood bar with steamed shrimp and at times oysters on the half shell.....they have a soup bar with Hot and Sour,Egg Drop,and Won ton ,
but they also have 2 kinds of congee or Jook....thick rice soup.....they have a Mongolian BBQ where you select your own ingredients and ask the chef to stir fry them right before your eyes..
I have not tried this as it is recommended you tip $1 for the chef....and c'mon there is so much other great food to try.....if you are lucky at times throughout the service they will bring out
one tray of snow crab claws,stir fried lobster,roast duck,steamed blue crabs......these are real
treats and you will be lucky to get any as the bins are emptied really fast by hungry diners......
ask for another soda or go and refill it yourself they do not mind...I like a nice bowl of ice cream
to finish off my meal here...they have a soft serve with Vanilla,Chocolate and mixed...it is self
serve so get a huge bowl of it......the food is consistently good here...the sushi alone is worth the
offering price,noon on a weekday can be quite busy...try and get there at 11:30 to see them loading up the bins for the first time...I see a lot of government workers from the building next door.....but I think if word got out about this place the line would be out the door...for now it is not so let's keep it our secret.....well I am off to Fortune Star....
