3433 2 Ave W, Prince Albert, SK S6V 8B7, Canada
Star House Family Restaurant, located in Prince Albert, is the home of authentic Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine! We have been voted Best Chinese Food in Prince Albert in our local Bob Awards 2015 - 2022. Seven consecutive years!
the food was okay, the chow mein was hard and rubbery the chicken balls were hard a bit. The desert was *okay* at best, but most of the deep-fried food was awful. the fish in the tank are cute yet there are probably bored out of their minds, looks depressing inside and it’s really expensive just for a chance to get sick because of the food. princess cafe is way better than starhouse in my opinion also it filled me up but at what cost? I’ll probably be spending more money buying toilet paper to clean up the impending trip to the bathroom.
Everyone should try their Special Hot Pot and Tofu Hot pot… My favourite all time🤤🤤
I wish that I would have seen the reviews before I ordered it was the grossest food I've ever ordered in my life then she tried to charge me more 41.00 almost $42 and still she wants to charge me more for her mistake not only is the egg roll so greasy it's rewrapped in another batter it is disgusting I got eight chicken balls sticky rice that you can't even eat and a bunch of spaghetti noodles for 41 dollars and cold sweet and sour sauce I don't recommend anybody ordering from here I hope I can share the pictures cuz it's disgusting old ass food I really want to share the post pictures but it's not looking like I can I guess I do that so you can't discuss anybody with what they serve you I guess this is what you get in small towns people once they get their money they don't care to do anything for you she wouldn't reimburse me I wanted to send it all back it was disgusting I am still hungry and I refuse to eat what's here the homeless will be happy tomorrow
We ordered delivery special last night the food was so good and tasty and we have 4 people eat and still have enough food for other two people today lunch, thank you Star House ! We will order again
I ordered war wonton soup from Star house is excellent and tasty and it’s cheap and healthy wishing everyone try it love it so much
Usually amazing, not today. Two different Shrimp dishes with steamed rice. Bland and taste the same. Disappointing.
Great service while in tonight, as always love the food and the people here! Edit: was told to write a good review for my boss here because of the amounts of bad reviews it was getting, do not recommend the food especially the buffet.
I ordered delivery the other day, food came hot and supper fresh. this place never fails me! always fixes my need for chinese! singapore noodles are my fav lol
Food is delicious and service is great!
Food is good service is good with some of the workers. One of tgem is to grumpy.b
Had a rude driver asked to be called when food was outside I missed one call and when I went down to meet him he swore at me Infront of my kid and when I tried to call back the person at the front on phone wouldn t give me managers name or number do not recommend unless you want driver to swear at you
Great food. Buffet is great too.
my food was dry and didn t taste fresh! i found a bug in my wonton soup!! gross!!
Prices and quality of food and service need improvement.
Some of the best Asian food in the province. Could use a Reno, but most Asian places could. Food is hot, fresh and well priced. Food
The thing what i can say delicious food in reasonable price and staff is friendly. They know how to treat customers in right way. I always order food from here and always i got my food delivered fast.
Always been friendly service.
They calculated the bill wrong on a large party of 10. The buffet was decent.
Great food
This was by far the worst Chinese food I ve ever had in my life. The egg roll was double battered and after peeling off the first layer of batter, the inside was soggy and gross. The chow mein was tasteless and the sweet and sour ribs were full of fat and grissle.
Clean, fresh and plenty of food to choose from.
Best Wor Won Ton Soup!!
Ordered from there. They didnt deliver one of the items the chicken balls. Called to report they didnt pack them. She insisted she did told her to talk to the delivery driver. She said shed cll back, never did. Ill just go to spicy peppercorn or vus from now on.
Buffet is back. Yahoo! Me and my boys were loving the food
Went to get chicken balls out of smorg, and there was a hair on the spoon. Told one of the workers, he then took the spoon and replaced just the spoon. Then we witnessed 3 guys go with half eaten plates to the smorg and dish up more. Very unsanitary. After we told the waitress, she told them. Said they got new plates. They didnt cause we watched. One of the 3 went back up yet again, and the same thing happened again. So very unsanitary. Will not be eating there again.
It was great. Didnt leave hungry
It was a very satisfying supper thank you star house
Workers had a horrible attitude slamming our utensils and how rushed we felt also the food was dry and waiting 6-8 minutes for a Pepsi
good meals
Omg, it was an amazing experience, the food was delicious. I ll definitely recommend
Great prompt service, the waitress was cute and friendly brought our drinks in a flash and we all hit the HUGE BUFFET and I mean there was absolutely something for everyone, kids included and followed by an equally HUGE desert buffet adjacent to.
I ordered the the buffet and everything was old and dried out . The quality wasnt there . I went there for the egg rolls and there isnt any in the buffet . Paid almost 60 $ for two buffet and a drink .my guts were churning as I left and I wouldnt advise anyone to go eat there if your looking for quality food . Maybe I went at the wrong time but the food was far from fresh when we went at 6pm .
Walking in, the girl at the till greeted us and showed us to our table. A waitress brought out water and asked politely if we wanted any other drinks. The food was quite good but, some rather dry, for example, most of the fried meat. My real problem is that the best food is the carbs and the meat is not really at a level where i would pay $20-$28 per person. The atmosphere inside is quite nice. It feels a bit homey in a way. I gave it 4 stars because the outside is a little bit sketchy sometimes and the presentation of the resturaunt is not all there, but hey, im not one to judge the outsides of things/places. Overall, i like Starhouse. It has very good people working their, and gets the job done when it come to filling me up. (pause)
Atmosphere gets 1 star because they played Nickelback.
ion care if its rats or cats either way im happy
Awesome people and food
I just started ordering from Star House. Their food is excellent! I strongly suggest if you like chicken balls. You should try the lemon chicken instead, theres more meat and it is very very good.The best lemon chicken I have tasted so far. I highly Recommend this restaurant. I had my food delivered so I have no idea about the atmosphere.Cheers!
Good food, better than take out, which is what we usually do at Star House.
Too expensive to eat there nowadays
First time at Star House, had buffett, was tasty food and great service. Left full. Thank you
Reliable, courteous and they take care of you. Dont forget they do take out aside from that amazing buffet. Fresh. Good value. Easy pick.
Food was MIDS, cookie was no cookie it was basically a cracker with 2 chocolate chips on it, chow mein MEGA MIDS, if im being honest the rice was decent, the ice cream was by far the best thing in the entire buffet
Very good service, food & experience.
I am hard pressed to find decent Chinese food on the Prairies. I would rate these folks 2.5 stars as it was ok. Selection in my opinion was weak for the buffet and the person running the till could of used some help. Little frustrating waiting for them to take an order as well as deal with take out orders then finally get around to you waiting to pay.
Waitress sat us. Never came back to ask if we wanted a drink. But could go to every table around us. Hair wrapped around the broccoli from the pepper chicken. Waitress handled it horribly. We didnt even eat one plate and we paid over $38 still because as the waitress stated that could be Any customers hair then laughed in our face. Should not have had to pay a single cent. Disgusting and horrible food and service . Get qualified staff.
Limited parking available bit was Valentines Day.
Horrible management at this place, would not recommend at all and will definitely not be going back or recommending it to anyone
The deep fryer is not hot enough. The shrimp/egg rolls are soaked with grease and it s not a one time thing. The broccoli was soggy and,,,,well let s not kick a dead horse. Save your money.
The best smorgasbord in p.a
Great place, great food, Star House has been around since before I was a kid, owners have changed but the same great food and taste!
Best Chinese food in the province! Friendly service
I will never eat here again. 1st things 1st, we showed up at 8 and they said they were closing but still wanted us to eat there and this wasn t until after we had grabbed our plates. We checked the website and it showed it stayed open until 1 am that night. Not only were we rushed but we also got a lot of negative looks from the workers there. Other than the owner who was very nice and kind the other workers obviously had a problem with us coming in late. Now we barely had food to eat only a selection was left at the buffet which some of the food was very hard. Now we did not want to be rude so we just sucked it up and ate. The whole time still getting certain looks from the workers while eating. We were rushed, afterwards we were way over charged. I asked how much for three people they said only about 21$ per person and there was three of us. Now we had a pepsi each and my son had fries. All together it came up to 97$ dollars!!! I found this ridiculous! I tried to ask for a printed receipt but they said they were out of paper for the receipts. Tried calling the next day to figure out what the heck happened but apparently the owner would not be in for a while. Still have not talked to get this sorted out. I feel like I was scammed! Paying that amount for such awful service! Getting watched from basically the whole staff while we were eating. Terrible service, the food sat there for awhile. I did not know it would close so early as I said before the website said it was open until 1 am. I will probably never go back because of this one experience. The food was not even close to the price we paid. You would expect to have good hot food for paying that amount but nope. We got offered to get fresh food cooked but we already felt rushed and did not want to feel even more rushed. Not only did we not want to feel rushed but we were already getting dirty looks from some of the workers. It is not our fault we did not know it was closing time until we had already made our plates. If we knew beforehand we would have walked out. It s like they purposely did this. I am sorry but never have I ever had to pay this amount even at some of the higher up restaurants such as Montanas. If I went there at least my food was cooked right then and there. Never felt rushed there either. I just want a printed receipt of everything we paid for. You d expect them to give you one for paying such a high amount. The worker obviously scammed us because she did not want yo give us a printed receipt with everything on there. I will never eat at star house after this horrible experience!
Price for single buffet is outrageous.....frick $25 and the food is below par....my rating for thier food 1-10.....a 3 Food
Went there and had the buffet around 8, then I ended my day with food poisoning. Maybe Im allergic to rice or Im having a gluten intolerance but I do know that I got sick
Best egg rolls in town
terrible at delivering food, so dang slow at arriving
Not worth what they charge you, sad because this used to be a decent restaurant. Try somewhere else
Service was very good, everything was very clean but I felt the quality of Chinese food was okay. There was lots to choose from.
some parts of the food is hard and some of the food is raw
The RUDEST customer service I ve had in a long time. We called and were very kind and patient on the phone with the lady, she was short, cutting us off, ignoring our questions, and then pretended she didn t hear us.. terrible service. You shouldn t go here, it s not worth the food. The food isn t the best either.
We went when almost closed. Giving a 5 for their smile.:)
Love this place order twice a month
Food was good and fresh
I need to go back ..... Etc. Food
We ordered delivery...expensive. we were charged 4.50 for our paper plates. We ordered dinner for 4 which was like a dinner for 2. Im feeling g a little ripped off. Wont order here again. Food was good however.
The one server is extremely hot
For 4pm, I thought the food would have been fresher, I was wrong. Was subpar and barely tasteful. For that price it certainly should have been better.
Nice buffet. Makes for a quick stop.
Best Chinese restaurants in town
You know exactly what to expect if youve been there before.
I enjoy the food Even though my car declined I couldnt pay but I left my trusty wallet came back next day and had dinner again and paid her off thanks
Zero Star House. Probably the worst meal of my life. Buffet had almost no vegetable matter on it. Items had been held well past their prime. The only item that was without major issue were the wonton. Seriously awful. Dont waste your time or money.
Takeout is good here. Buffet not good.
It is a nice place but the food was either too dry,or too burnt. Only good thing that was even on the buffet was the dessert section. Plus it is way too dark to be in.
Seems to be getting too expensive
A group of 20 ladies met and used their private dining room. We had a great visit and enjoyed a wonderful buffet lunch of delicious Chinese food. Food
Not great
Best chinese food in town! Always love it.
My stomach doesnt agree with eating there, but others seem to love it. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor entrance means wheelchairs can be rolled right in. Easy access throughout the building. Food : 3/5 |
Always hot and fresh, great variety on the menu!
Great food and fantastic service, the best place to eat in Prince Albert.
awesome food nice n fast.
Food was mediocre, dessert bar is a complete waste, two things stay covered the rest is exposed for the duration of the day.
My phone in order was ready and waiting by the time I got there... and it was still hot! Luv this food!
Very good buffet!
Justina took my order all of the food was gone #dietdriays loved service
The foods is so dry. The meat doesn t taste right. I don t recommend this place.
Got ripped off ..buffet was poor paid nearly 80 dollars for nothing
Good for a smorgasbord.
Good eats
Fed the family was good everyone was full it was good
3 & 1/2 out of 5. Far as I know, only 2 places in PA for buffet. This place is the better one. Friendly staff, food was warm and fresh, at least when I was there.
Overcooked mushy rice and undercooked mushy dough in the center of chicken balls. Disappointing and unappetizing.
Buffet very well attended. All food hot & displayed well. Waitress very friendly & very attentive. Highly recommended for a great dining experience.
Great Chinese food
Really good Chinese buffet.
Buffet food dried out ,no vegetables . Went for dessert that was there but worker already took it away . It said on the door bufet 3:30 till closing which is 1AM . Now is 9:15PM ,we came in at 9 everything is taken to the kitchen from buffet . Not to mention that our water arived half way throug meal and ther is fly flying and landing on the food.
Grease soaked garbage. This place is Trash 100%.
Food was dried out. Way to expensive for just two people. Not enough food to choose from. No veggies. No dips for fish. Macaroni salad was turning black, didnt take a pic. Perogies and meatballs were literally soaking up grease. Highly dont recommend.
Some of the food is ok place could be updated staff is friendly
Best Chinese food in PA!! Always fresh buffet and great selection of HOMEMADE desserts! My family s go-to when we don t want to cook
Parking: More parking spaces Food
There buffet is fantastic!
Not recommended. No utensils, servers are not very accomodating 25 bucks is not worth it.
Love this place. Best shrimp and vegetables. There is actually more shrimp than veges. Always friendly staff. Will always go back.
Even though the service was a bit slow, the food was amazing. They put on a decente spread for their smorg. The bathroom as wall and the restaurant were clean. The restaurant hours are: Wednesday 11:30a.m. 1a.m. Thursday11:30a.m. 1a.m. Friday11:30a.m. 1a.m. Saturday11:30a.m. 1a.m. Sunday11:30a.m. 12a.m. Monday 11:30a.m. 1a.m. Tuesday11:30a.m. 1a.m.
We ordered off the menu and the won ton soup was amazing. Service was friendly and fast.
Great to eat in or delivery. Always good food.
I had the buffet, I liked the variety of food and desserts, waitress was friendly and service was excellent! Parking: Alot of parking spots with 2 exit areas
Good buffet but atmosphere of the restaurant has deteriorated so substantially over the decades.
Excellent food
Yummy in my tummy!
Service is way faster now ...food is very good .. I always order almost daily . I Love their chicken chow mein & Chicken fried rice ,they use real Chicken breast .unlike other places ..chicken balls and egg rolls are so good ...they give you options without extra charge highly recommend this place
Decent but way over priced.
Thank you for the food it was really yummy and I really like the container I can put the lid back on and save the rest for later.
Good
I got cancer from the food
NOT RECOMMEND - Buffet Almost the driest food possible, bones in sauce with maybe a little meat on them. i think i ate a meatball. Complained to the manager, Cindy. She said, This is the best we can do. This is not the best you can do. This is not acceptable, and I dont want to look in the kitchen.
the food is dry, i almost puked
Excellent food and friendly service...
Good food fast service
Great place to come in sit down and order fresh or just go with the smorgasbord of different Chinese dishes.
Never order from this place again my order was 29$so ordered extra ored of shrimp and a 2litre pop cam up to 50$total and only got 4 extra shrimp
If you want overcooked spiceless food, ordered food for 5 , every dish was overcooked slop, not recommended, other places in town, after 6 pm avoid this place, see other types of food, this is the only Chinese restaurant available after 6
We like it.
Great food and friendly staff
Very good food and good service
War Wonton Soup - Yummy
i imagine the food is good for prince albert, but for somebody from saskatoon i really didnt like it. we got the dinner for 3B which comes with wonton soup, chicken fried rice, chicken chow mein, fried shrimp, and plain white rice. the wonton soup was very meh, no substantial flavour to speak of, the broth just tasted like store-bought chicken stock. the sweet and sour ribs were far too sweet, i was worried it was giving me cavities the whole five minutes i spent grinding the tough meat between my molars. the fried rice was fine, and so were the shrimp if not for the batter inside being slightly undercooked. the chow mein was okay for the most part, save for an overpowering ginger taste; and they completely forgot to give us our plain white rice. the food was only just edible, and had very little flavour. i wouldnt come here again voluntarily, only if every other restaurant was closed and i was absolutely starving.
Best Chinese in town
Amazing, delicious foods, try it..
Great for food..
Very friendly staff and awesome meals
social distancing in effect, hand sanitizer available, staff all wear masks, food is not as great as it used to be, same look and feel, staff were pleasant and service was good, washrooms are in need of better cleaning and upgrade, all in all a not bad place to go eat chinese food
Cindy is the owner of Star House, and she is the most hard working lady that I know. Cindy and Natasha always makes me and my family feel welcomed every time we go to Star House. The food is great.
Always fantastic food i order everytime Im in the city of prince albert
Great service. Wonderful food.
Been there a number of times its good
The food was delicious and good service and fast and nice Asian food
Food was fresh and hot Ready on time Tasted great
That was the worst meal we have ever had and it used to be so good extremely disappointed.
Absolutely love the food at Star House. Always fresh and each dish tastes unique unlike most Chinese restaurants where they use the same sauce. Highly recommend!!
Good rice
We very much enjoy the food from this restaurant, and the people are very professional and kind. We havent eaten buffet for a couple years, but I was never a fan. If youre dining in or out on ordered food, you cant go wrong!
Excellent food will definitely be going back
Exhale t food enyone not from around pa should tryil it before enyother esterant
Food was delicious and great service!
Clean and food great very friendly
In from Edmonton and first time here - the buffet was awesome! Probably best chinese food Ive had!
Food was ok, ordered out. Before ending the call, I let them know Im using cash to pay for the order. The order arrives and I give the delivery person the money, says he will return with my change. He gives us nickels and dimes and short changes us. I was thinking he would come back with $1.00 or $2.00 coins and take back his nickels and dimes but he didnt, he knocks on the door and leaves the $2.00 coin on the floor and leaves. I call the restaurant, let them know about what the delivery person did. The manager is rude, as well and hangs up the phone on me. Without dealing with the issue. Very bad customer service and I will never eat from this establishment again.
The PA location was awful. Waitresses had personality and waiting abilities of cardboard, the food was stale and the desserts were just various forms of icing sugar re-labeled. Save your 22 dollars (adult) plate and go eat roadkill for the same experience.
Semi clean place. Food is hot and is generally of good flavour.
Food was incredible. Hostess was awesome. Waitress could have been better. I would eat here again.
when I arrived I received TERRIBLE serive . The person who was serving me had a TERRIBLE attitude , I tried to stay nice but she was acting so rude. And the worst part of all is , when I ordered my fried chicken rice the rice was not even cooked right. and Im serious the rice was hard , and also to top it all of their was hair and other stuff in my drink -_- seriously? overall I would never go back
Good selection of Asian and large selection of desserts
Decent food n decent service
Bland food
We have been to Star House in the past and its been OK this visit was exceptional, the food was great, but the service was excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.
Wonderful Place! Enjoyed it alot! There food is always 10/10! And the Fortune Cookies are Awesome! Plus this Beautiful Blue Moon (Heres the Wifi! Lol)
Food under warmers too long........but it was slow that day as well
The tall delivery driver with a beard brought the food so fast it was super hot and so was he
Food was great and the waitress was excellent.
If you need great, late night delivery in Prince Albert, I highly recommend this restaurant. Very sociable delivery; quick, and great food!
First of all the person who said that because of hair found in the food comes from the Buffet well your wrong as i got haor in my not very good chineese food and they dont even have the buffet anymore.Also dont ever order a egg roll it was the worst ive ever had anywhere.also the only thing that i got that was even good was the rice.Dont eat chineese food from there yuk.Bad experience Pretty bad when Mcdonalds was a better option.
Its good even though that serve smorgasbord yet, you can still order for the menu the service is still friendly and food is great
Friendly service
Vary good place to eat
Best Chinese food in Prince Albert especially the buffet. Always a great selection of fresh hot Chinese and Canadian choices , then a lot of delicious sweets for dessert. Service is always excellent and prices very reasonable.
