" News Star has become my favorite spot for takeout in town! I usually get the chicken and broccoli combo, which is very filling and flavorsome. I don't expect fine dining here, but it's a great place for a quick bite. Everything is usually ready in a flash, which is perfect after a long day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have had a wonderful experience at News Star! I typically get the house special which offers a nice variety of flavors. The dining area is on the narrow side, but it’s still cozy. I appreciate how attentive the staff are, making the experience even better. This is definitely my go-to lunch spot during the week. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing, to say the least. I ordered sweet and sour pork, expecting a crispy battered dish, but I was met with soggy pieces drowning in sauce. The staff was polite, but that did little to save the meal. The atmosphere was quite average, typical takeout joint vibe. I doubt I'll be coming back after this. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, my family got takeout from News Star, and while it satisfied our cravings, it didn’t blow us away. The portions were good for the price, and everything was warm, but I wish there had been a bit more flavor overall. I’d go back if I was in the mood for takeout but would explore other options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give News Star a try after hearing mixed reviews, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was freshly made and had a decent amount of flavor, which I didn't expect based on some of the reviews. Their General Tso chicken was crispy and well-cooked. However, I did notice that prices were a bit higher than I anticipated. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, this may not be the place, but for a quick and relatively tasty meal, it's a solid option. " (*Curated Review*)

" For a quick meal, News Star isn't bad at all! I found their sweet and sour chicken to be decent, albeit a bit oily. The service was prompt, and my order was ready in no time. While it's not the most authentic, I can’t complain too much considering the convenience factor. It's a great spot when you want something quick but don’t mind if it’s a little more Americanized than traditional. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shop elsewhere! I was blown away by how flavorful their dishes can be. The orange chicken is a must-try! I feel their service deserves a shout-out too. The staff is welcoming and attentive. I can’t wait to go back for another takeout meal soon. This place is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)
