Overall I’m pleased with China Star! Just tried them for the first time tonight, and the food is better than the average chinese takeout. The garlic wings are smaller cheaper wings but are incredible! The garlic sauce has a great sauce that is comparable to finer sit down restaurants. As an entrée I tried something unique to their menu that I have not seen elsewhere. Pepper Steak with lobster sauce. It sounded like an odd mix, but I was wrong! It is delicious! Now I’m absolutely full while also looking at their menu to see what I’ll order next time. An egg roll came with the meal. It is a decent basic egg roll, but I only had a bite since the rest of the meal was more than enough. So, Positives-great food, open very late, and fair prices. Oh, and the delivery guy was pretty nice. Negative-Unfortunately, it is very difficult in ordering from them. I’m willing to say that 20% of that may be indirectly my fault, as my leftover redneck voice from childhood may be troublesome to some over the telephone-but holy crap it takes a while to order. I had to say my street name at least 7 – 8 times, and spell it out each time. She then handed me off to someone else that completed my order, albeit in an equally slow fashion.

I’ve only ever ordered delivery from here, so I’ve never seen anyone blowing their nose and not washing their hands, but I have tasted their awesome food. Delivery is always prompt, and the food’s always delicious. Their Garlic Chicken(marked spicy on the menu) was surprisingly bland compared to my expectations, or I would have given them more stars.

so… if you get grossed out easily, don’t read anymore of this review. .one day i was hungry and wanted some chinese food, so i went to the china star right across the street from my mother’s. so, i went in the store and ordered egg rolls. the food was always legitimately good, but as i was waiting for the food, i saw something that just grossed me out so bad that i still get grossed out when i think about. one of the cooks, that was making home ade iced-t, had to clear their nose… eeeeewwww he actually took his hand and pressed it against one nostril and blow out the other nostril that was clogged up, as he thought that no one saw him. then went straight back to making the iced-t. and no, he did not wash his hands. that was the most disgusting thing i have ever seen. then, when i asked the lady for my money back, because i surely was not going to eat anything there anymore, she had the nerve to get an attitude with me. yes, i told her what i saw and she ignored what i told her. eeeeewwwwwww never again.
