" Ocean Star has some of the best dim sum you can find! Events at the restaurant always impress; the food flows endlessly from the carts, and I find new favorites each visit. The crispy spring rolls and coconut buns are a must-try! The restaurant can get noisy, but that tends to be the case with dim sum establishments. The prices are also very reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend for both casual and special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ocean Star has stolen my heart! The dim sum here genuinely reminds me of my trips to Hong Kong. Each time I visit, I’m always excited to try the new items that roll around on their carts. Their Har Gow is simply exquisite, crisp and just bursting with flavor. The chefs truly understand what authentic dim sum should taste like. The atmosphere is buzzing, and even though it can get loud during busy hours, it adds to the charm of dining here. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is huge and perfect for large parties! We opted for the banquet option, and it did not disappoint. Every course was prepared to perfection, and the flavors shone through. The servers were on top of their game, ensuring we had everything we needed. The roast pig was a highlight of the meal. If you're hosting an event, I'd highly recommend choosing Ocean Star for excellent variety and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was mixed. Some dishes were tasty; others felt average. The service was a bit haphazard too—waiting long for carts to come around, and some attendants didn’t seem to pay attention. I think they need better organization during busy periods. That said, the variety is commendable, and prices are friendly for anyone looking to enjoy a range of dim sum. Would I return? Perhaps, but I’d keep my expectations moderate. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated a special occasion at Ocean Star recently. We reserved a banquet which included a variety of dishes from traditional dim sum to specialty entrees. The flavors were vibrant and dishes presented well, particularly the roasted pig! Our server was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The ambiance was clean and welcoming. It's a great place to celebrate big occasions, and the experience made my husband's birthday unforgettable! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a disappointment! After hearing glowing reviews, I decided to check out Ocean Star with high expectations. The service left much to be desired, with long waits between the carts and servers forgetting about our table. The food quality was inconsistent; some dishes were delicious while others fell flat. The atmosphere was chaotic but not in a charming way. Overall, I would not recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by for a casual lunch and was really impressed by the generous portion sizes! The dim sum is excellent, although I was disappointed by the service at times; it felt like we were left waiting too long for refreshments and check-ins. The atmosphere was lively, which I enjoyed, but at times, it could be overwhelming. Overall, I would still recommend Ocean Star for the food! Just be prepared to flag down a server now and then.
