China Star ROCKS !

by pandabby97 at Citysearch

My Fiance and I have been going to China Star... or ordering over the phone... for the past almost 6 years now. Their food is awesome. We went there for my Birthday and when I told Ann (the lady who is always there when we are there... she's really nice) that it was my Birthday... she offered to buy me a drink. I didn't want any alcohol... so my soda was free... with free refills. She even let me take pictures inside the restaurant.

The staff at China Star is always very nice and very welcoming. They remember their customers too. We are regulars at that restaurant because we just absolutely LOVE the food there. The food is just the right temperature and I always have my spiciness altered to no spicy since I can't eat spicy foods. They always make my food perfectly to my specifications. And I LOVE their Egg Flower Soup and their fried Crab Cheese Wantons. MMMM !

We HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone. If you live in Western Washington State and even if you live out of state and are ever in this area... give China Star a try. I guarantee you will Love it !!

Best Chinese Food We've Ever Had !

by Pandababy425 at Citysearch

My fiance and I have been to China Star more than once. For the last few years we've ordered out (over the phone) and had our food delivered to us. We usually get General Tso's Chicken with Fried Rice. I usually get my meat spiciness altered so that it is not spicy as I am not able to eat spicy foods. The Fried Rice is always very moist and flavorful... unlike other chinese places we've gone to. And there are a lot of little extras that come with our meal that we don't get charged extra for. Like... Egg Rolls, Fried Prawns, Egg Flower Soup, and 2 or 3 pieces of BBQ Pork. The food is always at a perfect temperature and is really filling. I always have leftovers for the next day because after eating all the soup, prawns, and egg roll (I give my pork to my fiance cuz I don't eat a lot of pork)... I am usually too full to eat the rest of my meal. We usually have an appetizer with our meal so I usually get Crab Cheese Wantons. It's a really good meal. The minimum requirement for delivery, we think, is reasonable too... only $25 minimum and there is no delivery charge. We moved out of their delivery range back in October 2010... and we called to order tonight. They said that they usually would charge a $2 delivery charge because we are out of their delivery range... but because they were slow tonight, at the restaurant... the guy who took our order said that he'd make an exception and deliver to us anyway with no delivery charge. I have to give this place a 5 Star rating cuz they really deserve a 5 Star rating. Excellent Food and Excellent job, everyone. Food is AWESOME !!

Dinner for four = same size as dinner for two - delivery

by MadGello at Citysearch

The best Egg Foo Young I ever tasted was from China Star.

Ordered a delivery dinner special 'C' today and it arrived the same size as a previous dinner special 'B' I ordered not too long ago.

Lesson learned = China Star rating went from five star to one star in 45 minutes flat.

• Pros: Used to love China Star
• Cons: Dinner delivery for four = same size as dinner for two

Better off eating our of the toilet

by chicky826 at Citysearch

We waited ten minutes to get a seat when they were dead on a Sunday night. The guy at the counter was on a social call for ten minutes and didn't even acknowledge us. An older lady finally realized we have not been seated and sat us. her English was so bad she repeated everything twice and didn't understand a thing we asked her. Of course the order was wrong but why tell her when she didn't understand to begin with? The food was steamed and not stirfried because the wok was not hot enough when stirfrying. $40.00 for toilet food and horrible service. The lady waited 15 minutes to give us the check when we were obviously done eating. (Plates were stacked and pushed to the edge of the tabloe as a hint)

• Pros: Nice view of the golf club
• Cons: food, service, time

Mu Shu Pork with TORTILLA????

by world foodie at Citysearch

I ordered "Mu Shu Pork with 4 pancakes" and got some oversalted cabbage and pork chunks with 4 out-of -package flour tortillas!! You would think that a Chinese restaurant would know the difference between Chinese pancakes and Mexican torillas!

Staff was very nice but the food was worse than the stuff that sits in warming trays for 6 hours in shopping center food courts... and,even with a coupon, it was not good value for the money.
