At first it seems kinda questionable, cruddy decor, old carpet, stained tablecloths. And the staff are polite and prompt but not especially friendly. And the menu doesnt look like anything special at first, standard Americanized Chinese food. But honestly, none of that matters cause the food is great and the prices are astounding. Kind of a weird, non-trendy treasure. My sweet and sour pork was flavorful and crispy but not oily at all and the sauce for my husbands General Tsos chicken was awesome and clearly house-made with the spices still visible. Glad we gave this place a try, well be going back.

I love there food its cheap,awesome, and a nice place to have ur meals in ! there bar is almost opened and there will be more new stuff coming ! but I would recommend the friend shrimp , number 7 and number 8 ! my parents and I always go there to eat ! hope everyone goes there and some ppl say that their food taste bad is because they didnt choose the good food ! their speakers are already fixed and they are better now! my favorite is that the owners are very nice and they give out huge portions of food for just a little bit amount of money! wow ! you ppl should really taste wat china star is

This place has so many good reviews and is so close to my house I just HAD to try it. I was pleasantly surprised when they brought out our takeout order in a huge cardboard box. "So much food!" I thought. "I can eat this for lunch ALL WEEK!" I said. Got home, ate some. It was about what you would expect from any Chinese takeout. Then... I spent the rest of my night in the bathroom. This morning, Im sadly going to have to toss out my weeks worth of leftovers and never go back to this place again. This makes me sad. I was so hopeful for this to be my new goto Chinese spot.

This used to be our favorite spot. Now we stay as far away as possible. Because they were a great place to go (standard Chinese food found in the US, nothing amazing but good none-the-less) we gave it the benefit of the doubt when we all got food poisoning after eating there. We went back, food poisoning again. I went back again just because I really did like the place... food poisoning again. This all happened over 6 months. We dont have Chinese food often, its a treat, but 3 out of three is bad. Now Im afraid to go back.

Food is delicious. Prices are reasonable. Portions are big. Service was lousy. My wife and I went there for dinner. It took the waitress longer then you would think with there only being 2 other tables being used however ounce our ordered, it was served really fast. The other waiter was rude when we asked for to go boxes and seemed to be annoyed when we needed more bc ounce again the portions are big. I will willing to do business with them again as the food is very very good but it will be take out only

This place is AWESOME. If you want some dank ass Chinese grub, this is the place. I live 3 miles away but I constantly come HERE for my hook up. They make everything from the ordinary to the exotic quick. Great takeout service here. Good food and good customer service. Video lottery in the lounge while you wait. If tasty Chinese in the outer SE area is what you are in the mood for, look no further, this IS the place. Order and you will NOT be disappointed.

We were a little nervous when we pulled in as it was totally empty at noon on Saturday. I cant figure out why! This had some of the best American Chinese Ive ever had. The vegetables and tofu in my Kung po were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Even the pork fried rice was moist and had actual pork in it. And the egg flower soup is very flavorful. The staff were not super friendly but still professional. We will definitely be back!

Extreme portions. FAST food delivery once seated and ordered. GREAT Pork Fried Rice. GREAT Egg Flower Soup with LOTS of chicken. Broccoli Beef, Orange Chicken, Barbecued Pork Entree: average. Orange sauce: too much corn syrup (?) gives extra sweetness/less flavor. Appetizers of crab puffs in wonton, Spring Roll and BBQ Pork: average. I REALLY LOVE Chinese (Mandarin), but this American Chinese food is: average.

I came here due to all the positive reveiws, however i found this place to be down right discusting. I found a very long black hair wrapped in my food after of course taking a few bites. The wait staff is rude, and the language barrier was more than frustrating. I will never come back here, and am once again fooled and disapointed by false reveiws.

I come here all the time. Great food, large portions, good prices. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food can be a little different sometimes, Im guessing from different cooks, but its still excellent. Pick-up orders are ready in 15 mins. They recently added a bar. They also sell almond cookies and boxes of tea at the counter.

I wasnt expecting much here, but my order of mu shu veggie and veggie fried rice for about $7 each came in overflowing portions such that three people could not finish it all. And I didnt feel bad after eating it! Its still fried rice in the end but I usually feel alot weirder after eating Chinese at a new restaurant.

Super nice owners, good food, huge portions, and inexpensive. This is one of my go to places for getting quick takeout. All the food is decent and some are very good! The fried egg rolls and the Singapore Lo Mein are not to be missed. You also cant go wrong with the combo dinners with fried anything.

We love this place, we order to go or eat in. The people are always super friendly and the food is always excellent. I know of only 1 place that can make a lemon chicken to perfection and this place comes very close, one of my favorite dishes. Now if I can place a that makes a good cherry chicken.

The service was a little dicey at first, and the decor is very bland, but the food was amazing! Im better our server is used to being mistreated, but she warmed up to us quickly. Food came out at a fast paced and tasted great. As always there was way too much food, so we had dinner the next night!

O M G. I ordered an entree, fried rice and spring roll and could barely lift the bag when I picked it up. HUGE portions. 18.00 will feed me for the next two days at least, and Im a big guy. Not the tastiest Ive ever had, but its pretty hard to eff up fried Chinese food.

Great proportions, cheap lunch, and usually tastes fine, but service is always a hit or miss (usually a miss). The man (owner) seems really nice but the woman usually there at lunch seems to always be in a sour mood and has awful customer service skills.

This place is your classic American Chinese takeout place. We love it when were just craving combo #whatever. They are a really sweet family who own it, and they usually throw in some random extra treat like sesame chicken. Oh and it is SUPER inexpensive
