China Star

"The crab rangoons were pretty good. Better than most places, even. Pepsi is a fair dollar, and everything was appropriately hot or cold. The son told me a half order of rangoons would cost the same amount as a full order. I know that is either a lie or an unfair practice but either way it does not make me want to return. I’m certain now it was a lie and that the owner would surely not charge so much for a half order, and that they are also capable of making a half order very easily. This really pissed me off. I hate being lied to, and I hate being cheated just as much. The beef and vegetable was okay and even had mushrooms, however there was very little meat and it was bland overall, despite being covered in their sauce and oil. No spice at all with the vegetables or the beef. Very disappointing. The wonton soup was absolutely flavorless and difficult to eat as well, not because the wontons tasted bad (which they did)- but because the wontons themselves are so large it’s nearly impossible to break them up, even with utensils. I’d never tell anyone to go here, the place just doesn’t have a good atmosphere. I can spend my money with much nicer people, on much better food."

"Best Chinese food spot in Sarasota. No complaints, so happy I chose this place to eat. Very good, fresh and clean"

"We buy a fair amount of Chinese food,our usual place was closed and we were forced to venture out of our comfort zone.One of the main things i order in bulk is Hot Sour Soup amongst other things,boy was i in for a bad surprise,it looked and tasted like they threw in all the left overs from 4 different dishes and so sickly sweet we had to throw it all away nobody could eat it and traditionally it is a very simple dish,we will never try them a again a large soup is expensive,thumbs down. In the following photos the soup on the left is the poo soup with god knows in it The soup on the right is normal from our regular place and edible,beware"

"I need to give a shout out to this place! We got off work late and was looking for a chinese restaurant that open after 8 or 9pm. We came in, the lady assisted us right away, we ordered Orange Chicken, Beef Mixed Vegetable, Hot and Sour soup, and Egg drop soup. They were all yummy!!! I would recommend this place to my friends!"
