Reviews for China Star in Minneapolis, MN
Best service at my company we have a large order for 10 people and every single item we ordered was there and it was delicious... ???? ???? ???? ???? Read more
Small portions (literally half of similar restaurants), barely any sauces and no fortune cookies in the to go bag, soggy egg... rolls. Just not good quality. Don't know how it has a 4.3 rating. Ok at best. Read more
My family has been ordering from China Star for over 20 years and it?s absolutely the best. My favorite is their Sesame Chicken.
Our family has been going to China Star since it opened around the mid 90's. Their sesame chicken has always been our go to... paired with the house fried rice and cream cheese wontons. It has never disappointed. We won't order this meal from anywhereelse. Read more
Was there this evening. Friendly service! Great take-out system to make you aware your order is ready when you are waiting in... your car. High quality food, big servings, fair prices! I'll be coming back. Read more
I use to love this place.. until last night. I don't know if they had a fill in cook or what. The chicken was all dry. As in... dead. Gross. I had some beef and broccoli and the broccoli was very moist and very over cooked like it was in a steam table forsay 4 hours. Very disappointed china star. Shame on you. Read more
Lovely little place! There isn't much of seating but it seems like most people, like myself, take their meals to go. I usually... get the General Tsao tofu and vegetable lo mien. The tofu is always a large portion but they don't seem to put enough spice formy liking. The lo mien is just fine, nothing special. Overall a nice place to get something quick and, depending on what sizeyou get, will last you a while. EDIT - HAIR FOUND IN FOOD. FOOD TAKEN BACK OVER THE COUNTER. Tonight, October 27th, I had ordera Budhist Delight and two orders of spring rolls. Half way through my meal, I find a long black hair in my Budhist Delight. Icall the restaurant to let them know of the situation, the women on the phone told me that she doesn't have black hair, hercousin has yellow hair, and none of the cooks have long hair. We went back and forth for about another minute and then she putme on hold. When she came back on the line, she told me to bring the food in and she would make me another one. I asked if shewas sure that she wanted me to return the food. She said yes, because apparently no one has hair like that. I did what I wastold, when I got to the restaurant and opened the togo box she fished the hair from the side of the container and saw that itwas not my hair. Then she had the little girl working, take the food to the back over the counter. I let her know immediatelythat was a health code violation. To make a long story short, the whole situation wasn't handled ideally, several healthviolations were committed (and I will be letting the MN health department know), and they only refunded the Budhist delight. Iwill not be returning and I will post pictures. Read more
China Star is my go-to Chinese takeout spot in the area. I can't believe I used to drive further out for Panda Express when this... spot is way closer and the food is so much better. My go-to are: 1) The Sesame Chicken Combo (comes with fried rice and yourchoice of 3 cream cheese wontons or 1 egg roll). Everyone knows what Sesame Chicken tastes like, and this is a darn good one. Ialso had their Orange Chicken, and trust me it's also really good, but something about that Sesame Chicken just hitsdifferent. 2) The Beef Lo Mein. The beef is super tender and flavorful, and the noodles have a perfect bite to them. The sauceis slightly salty and umami. This blows Panda Express' Lo Mein out the water. 3) The fried chicken. This is classic amazingChinese fried chicken. Slightly battered, really crispy exterior, juicy and moist interior. So good. If you're in the area andwant some good American Chinese takeout food, this spot is it. They're geared towards takeout, so I don't know if you can dinein, as people usually occupy the space to wait for their takeout order. Read more
