"Many of the dishes meet my standard, but not all. The beef dish could have been a little more tender (4 star) and other dishes I ordered were great (5 star). The indoor atmosphere needs appropriate background asian music (light in volume) for that restaurant while waiting to pick up food. Lady picture on wall real good choice, could use one or two more orient type pictures too. Get rid of piano, and anthing that takes away from a nice orient atmosphere to sit down an eat, if you chose. They did a recent remodel which was a 75% improvement, could do a little more."

"New to the area. We decided to stop in at 11am on a Wednesday . There is only one guy here and doesn't speak English . Since I have neglected to learn Chinese for some reason,what was I thinking. He called his boss and we ordered over the phone?? I don't know about it. I'll review the food as well. But this has been a hassle so far. We'll probably try another place next time. Update 1: we've been here half an hour and still waiting for our food. I suppose this is their first day back since Christmas. Not sure why I'm making excuses for it hem tho. Maybe they should open at 1pm when they're ready . Update 2: Greatly dissapointed with the food. Where is this coming from? I suppose I've gotten spoiled by Panda xpress. These seem to be leftovers from before Christmas, just reheated. The shrimp in the lo mein was slimy. They use very thick lo mein noodles. I prefer the thinner noodles they use at Panda. The beef and broccoli was also slimy. The beef at China Star was very very gristley and difficult to consume. I was throwing every other bite away. I've gotten used to the high quality beef tips that they use at Panda and this was definitely a big step backward. On top of that, it made me sick all evening with many trips to the bathroom. Its a shame this is he closest Chinese resto to my apt. It's just unacceptable. I'll be driving the extra miles to Panda and paying a couple dollars more, for now. Sometimes you get what you pay for."

"Food is very flavorful. Lo mein and beef & broccoli are the favorites in my house. Crab Rangoon is good W/ sweet & sour sauce yum yum! Wait times can be long during dinner time but well worth the wait!"

"Past two times I’ve order the orange chicken the chicken was so hard I couldn’t bite into it and for the price I’d expect slightly bigger portions. The chicken has been more breading than actual chicken along with just being in one big blob. They do have decent service if you dine in and they do have pretty good delivery service."

"One word: WOW. These guys should change their name to China FIVE Stars. Took a chance on this quant hole in the wall just a few minutes from home, and I’m so thankful I did. Lunch special was just under $10 for a bowl of Roast Pork with Broccoli and Fried Rice, with a side of Egg Drop Soup. Food was out to me in less than five minutes. The pork had a nice tender texture and was cooked to perfection, the broccoli was fresh, the fried rice was a joy, and the SAUCE… my GOD. Pure bliss. Egg drop soup had me a bit skeptical with its uncharacteristically white color, but it too proved absolutely scrumptious, and it also lacked the high saltiness of other Chinese restaurants I’ve visited in the area. What an absolutely wondrous experience. I can’t wait to come back. Thank you, China Star!"
