" I was very excited to try China Star based on many recommendations. The atmosphere was decent, but the food felt more generic than authentic. The Chicken Lo Mein could have used more spices and flavor. My biggest disappointment was the service, which seemed disorganized despite the place not being crowded. I might give it another shot, but I'm not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a fan of Chinese food for years, having traveled extensively and sampled food from all over. China Star felt like a hidden gem! The Moo Shu Pork was phenomenal with hearty, flavorful servings. I appreciated the generous portions which left me satisfied without breaking the bank. They even had an option for my vegetarian friend, which I thought was highly considerate. The staff were attentive, making the overall dining experience top-notch! I could definitely see myself becoming a regular here if I stay in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I work nearby and often grab lunch from China Star. The prices for their lunch specials are unbeatable! The Bourbon Chicken is a must-try; it's sweet and savory, beautifully marinated, and always tender. The portions are generous and I usually end up with leftovers. However, the staff can be hit or miss. Some are very welcoming, while others seem a bit rushed. Overall, a good place to refuel during a busy workday! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, when I walked into China Star, I expected a typical Chinese takeout experience, but what I got was so much more. The service was genuinely friendly, making you feel valued as a customer right from the get-go. The Kung Pao Chicken was packed with flavor and heat, and the side of fried rice complemented it well. It’s a busy spot during lunch hours, so I recommend coming early if you're on a tight schedule. Overall, fantastic experience and great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had ordered from China Star multiple times as takeout, but this was my first time dining in. The environment was clean, but the seating felt a bit cramped. My orange chicken was well cooked, albeit a little sweet for my taste. The fried rice lacked the variety of vegetables I expected. The service was fast, though, and I’d still recommend it for takeout, especially if you want something quick during lunch hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my visit to China Star. The General Tso's chicken was flavorful and crispy, and the portions were substantial. I really liked their fried dumplings as well. My only complaint would be that it got a bit noisy as lunch service picked up, but overall, a fantastic meal. They have definitely earned my repeat business. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on previous reviews, but I was let down. The sesame chicken was dry and overly sweet, and the egg rolls tasted stale. Perhaps it was an off day, but I think I will explore other options before coming back. The service was friendly, but the food fell short of what I was hoping for. " (*Curated Review*)
