" I hadn’t tried Vietnamese food before, so I decided to go with a friend who loves it. Golden Star is a charming little place, and I was impressed by the variety of options. I ended up getting the chicken pho, and it was delicious! The staff was very welcoming and helped us navigate the menu. I’m looking forward to coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Star serves some of the best pho I've ever had! I visited with friends, and we all enjoyed everything we ordered. I particularly loved their imperial rolls—crispy on the outside and filled with savory goodness. Although it was busy, we didn't wait long for our meals, which was impressive. I will definitely be back and recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Star is the quintessential hole-in-the-wall gem. The pho was not just delicious but very filling. You get great value for what you pay—a huge bowl of soup with plenty of toppings. The staff treated us like family, which was a lovely touch. My friends were hesitant about it being in Chinatown, but they now know better after our meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely impressed by how delicious and affordable everything was. Golden Star has become one of my go-to places for Vietnamese food. It's a cozy spot, and the broths are always on point. I appreciate that they give generous portions too. Only downside is that it gets quite busy, but it’s worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a place with generous portions, look no further! I had the beef pho and could barely finish it. The staff was super friendly and service was efficient. Definitely a local favorite without the pretense! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can confidently say that Golden Star is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown! The service was fast, and the staff was so friendly. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and it was incredibly flavorful. The broth was rich and exactly how I remembered it from my travels in Vietnam. This place is a must-try for any pho lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Star has great pho, though the atmosphere can get noisy during peak hours. I loved the lemongrass chicken! The portions are generous, and the price point was great for the quality. A good pick for Vietnamese food in the city. " (*Curated Review*)
