" I was hoping for a better experience at China Star given the high ratings but was left feeling indifferent. I ordered a house special fried rice that tasted alright but lacked the freshness I expected. The service was mediocre; we had to ask for soy sauce and extra napkins several times. I won't say it's a total loss, but there are so many other options out there that might be more exciting. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I have to say I'm quite disappointed with China Star lately. The food quality seems to have declined significantly. The last time I ordered, my General Tso's chicken was cold and quite chewy. I used to love their egg rolls, but now they were bland and small. The service was okay, but with so many better options around, I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ordered delivery from China Star and wasn't too impressed with my meal. The chicken had too much breading and the veggies were undercooked. It felt like a letdown compared to the old days when I enjoyed their food. The delivery was on time, which is a plus, but I think I’ll try another place nearby next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly not the best experience. I ordered the lemon chicken, and while the presentation was nice, the chicken was dry and the lemon sauce didn't quite work for me. The atmosphere felt rushed, and the wait for my food felt longer than anticipated. I might give this restaurant another try on a different day, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Star was a hit and miss for me. Some of their dishes are absolutely delightful, like the sweet and sour chicken. However, my last visit was marred by overcooked rice and a lackluster service experience. It seems like they might be training new staff, which could explain the service inconsistency. I've enjoyed the flavors before, but I’d recommend being cautious because it can be a gamble. I’ll return for the good dishes but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try China Star based on the reviews I read online, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken lo mein was fantastic! The noodles were cooked just right, and the flavor was spot on. I ordered it for takeout, which was prepared relatively quickly, and the staff were friendly during my interaction. I’ll certainly be back for more, especially given the reasonable prices. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving Chinese food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, I was skeptical given some previous reviews I've seen. However, my experience at China Star turned out to be quite the opposite! I visited on a busy Saturday evening, and despite the crowd, my order was taken swiftly. I opted for a shrimp fried rice, which was not only generous in portion but also packed with flavor. The staff were friendly, and even offered to customize my dish to my liking. It’s great to finally find a place that doesn't skimp on quality and taste! " (*Curated Review*)
