" My family and I love visiting China Star. Though I do agree with some reviews that say the food can be quite bland, we have had some really good meals here as well. During our last visit, I ordered their crab rangoon, which was crispy and creamy. We paired it with General Tso's chicken, which wasn't too spicy and had the right balance of sweetness. The staff was friendly and helped us when my daughter spilled her drink. I wish the fried rice had more flavor, but overall, we’ve had good experiences here and do plan on returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say about China Star? They provide decent food with a fast service. However, I can't shake the feeling that the food lacks authenticity. My chicken with broccoli was more salty than flavorful and while the portion was good, it didn’t yield a satisfying meal. The atmosphere was rather plain, and the service could be better. I might consider them again if I need a quick meal only. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at China Star was rather disappointing. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, and while it arrived hot and fresh, it just didn't taste right. The chicken was dry, and the sauce was overly sugary without any balance. It felt more like fast food than authentic Chinese cuisine. I have other options for Chinese food in the area, and I’m not sure I would choose this place again, especially given my family's experience here in the past. The service was friendly, but that couldn't save the meal for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This visit to China Star was disappointing. I ordered the crab rangoon and was surprised at how little filling there was. The chicken lo mein was also bland, and overall it didn't feel worth the money spent. I was hoping for a good experience based on previous visits, but I left unsatisfied. The service was quick but it lacked the warmth that can make a dining experience enjoyable. I doubt I would revisit given the quality of food not matching the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Star is a mixed bag. My friends and I stopped by last Saturday for a late lunch. While the ambiance could use some work, the food served its purpose when you're hungry. I was a big fan of their egg fried rice but was let down by the lack of diverse options of proteins on their menus. The service was decent; we anticipated a bit of a wait, and it wasn’t frustrating. I think I’d return for a fast bite if needed, but it wouldn't be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" From start to finish, my experience at China Star was mediocre. The fried rice was hardly fried; it was just fluffy and bland. I also had the shrimp lo mein, which felt like a chore to eat because of its overcooked texture. The service was helpful, but their sense of urgency made the visit feel more like an obligation than enjoyment. I could only give this restaurant a 2-star based on this visit; there's definitely room for improvement across the board. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had my fair share of Chinese food, and I have to say, the best part about China Star is how quickly you can get your order. However, the food is hit or miss. I ordered the Mongolian beef and it was just okay; the sauce was overly sweet and the beef lacked tenderness. The fried rice didn’t complement the meal either; it felt bland and was missing the flavor I usually expect. I'd say their service is average. They are friendly enough, but it feels like they're always in a rush. I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
