Diner reviews of China Star

the reviews you have are outdated. i have been eating at the china star on a regular basis for 6 or 7 years. the food has always been hot and really good. the service has always been outstanding. it is not just me, all my friends eat there as often as i do. when we get together for a meal, china star is our first choice. my partner and i begin our weekly date night at china star. we try to plan it on crab leg night. so that is my review and i must say i was shocked to read these reviews.

First of all this is Chinese trick to add the word Chinese to their name. All it is, is a TYPICCAL Chinese restauran. A lot of fatty food, not only faty but cold too. Shame on them to call it Chinese Afghan. What Afghan has to do with it I have no idea.

We dropped into this restaurant because of its convenient location. We couldnt decide on what we wanted but decided chinese food sounded okay when we approached the place. I wish we had kept on driving. The food was cold and had that "recycled" look to it. We'd just sat down after our initial visit to the buffet bar. The waitress was rude and asked us to pay in advance, even before we had finished our meals. Our drinks were never offered to be refilled and it was just as well, because we left after the food was deemed inedible. We will never return again. Don't waste your hard earned money on poor service and nasty food.

My wife had eaten at China Star for lunch and said that it was very good. She said that it is very crowded at lunch time. On that premise, we decided to go there for dinner. The supposedly fresh shrimp and sushi smelled fairly pungent of age. The battered and fried chicken is any kind of sauce looked like it had sat in that sauce for quite some time. I tasted the sesame chicken and it just was not fresh. The service was very limp, there was not any snap to it whatsoever although it was not rude or ignorant of my needs altogether. All in all, the main entrees were not to my liking and in my opinion it seemed like dinner was left over lunch buffet.
They will not see my family again.

My boyfriend and I decided to try China Star tonight for dinner. I have heard many people swear up and down that this place has great food. The hot & sour soup was very salty with little other flavor except the green onion I added. The lo mein was disgusting at best. I have never spit food into a napkin before their lo mein. I could't even attempt to swallow it. The green beans looked like they had seen better days before they even made it to the kitchen. The chicken with garlic sauce smelled like sweat socks that needed washing. The sauteed mushrooms were bland, but the highlight of the dinner. The watermelon and peach cobbler were good. They have five stations with diiferent food on each station. I stopped trying anything after the first bad plate of food. Not recommended to feed to your worst enemy.

The food is ok, but it lacks the true flavors. The dessert bar is great. The general tso's chicken didn't seem to have the right flavor. Maybe some sushi would do the trick? The wait staff was ok, but the waitresses sat another party at our table and we moved to another table. Overall it is perfectly good chinese food.Add some lemon sauce to the buffet for lemon chicken and you'll have a life long customer,sushi and salted squid too!
