China Star

Yeah Barry doesn't know what he is talking about. This place is a hidden gem. Fried rice always has huge fresh delicious chunks of pork in it. Everything always comes out steaming hot and fresh. I order from here about once a month and never have a bad meal. In fact I'm ordering from here tonight. I will take an add pictures later. Honestly, could the service be better at times? Yeah. But it's exactly the kind of service I expect from an old school joint like this. If you don't feel like you're getting yelled at a bit, it's not authentic. 😂🤣 The owner who works the pickup/takeout window is a sweetheart though! Just like anyone get to know her. She is a very kind woman.

First, they charge the customer the credit card service fee. Which is expressly against merchant agreement. Customers aren't supposed to pay that fee as an add on cost. They sneakily add to bill and label in Mandarin. Second, the lunch special ordered (L20) was an atrocity. The fried rice looked like it was colored/flavored with literal charcoal. No pork in the rice. No vegetables either. It was absolutely terrible! The entree was decent though pretty small. The included wonton soup had freezer burned wontons/dumplings. They were unpleasant. The broth was oily and lacked any actual flavor. The shrimp egg roll had exactly 2 small shrimp inside. Everything else inside was just cabbage. No carrot, no anything else. Keep in mind, the food is priced on the slightly higher side, the portion thankfully (sarcasm) are undersized. And basic staple dishes (fried rice) are not even remotely close to actual fried rice. Be prepared to spend your money on bland, boring or atrocious food.
