The wait can be long, but trust me, it's absolutely worth it! Even though they've expanded to multiple locations and opened Little Petals, the original Cordova location is still the best when it comes to authentic flavor! My absolute favorite is definitely the Peony Chicken! It's consistently delicious every single time! So fragrant, tender, and full of flavor. The chef at the Cordova location really knows how to bring out that perfect wok hei (breath of the wok). That incredible aroma and smoky wok flavor make all the difference!

The fried rice and lobster were excellent, and the dim sum was also excellent (we came back for dim sum the next day). However, the quality of some of the dishes was slightly off. For example, the bird's nest dish was not crispy, and the sauce on the sweet and sour pork was not as flavorful as I'm used to tasting. Food aside, my main gripe about this place is how slow they are in getting out the food. Dinner took about 4 hours (granted, we had events going on, but I'm thinking it should have taken about 3). Dim sum took about 3 hours. We did have large gatherings at dinner and dim sum, but they still need to vastly improve their output time.

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the food can take a while to come out, and the checkout process is also pretty slow. We usually end up going to grab our own takeout containers because it takes so long.

Lots of options. The portions were very generous. We got General Tso's, twice cooked pork, crab rangoon the first time. They'll sell you extra sauce if you'd like, though you don't really need it. This time, General Tso's, sweet and sour chicken, and vegetable delight. And hot and sour soup. It was decent food. Not the best, because it was a bit inconsistent in the toughness of the chicken and the flavor of the sauce from one time to next, but good enough to fill a few bellies.

It was so off putting, visually gross, and I won't even tell you the name we gave it when trying to figure out what it was. Upon reflection, I think I do know what it is. I think they are taking surimi (aka imitation krab) and putting it in the blender. Why? I don't know. It's like they drizzled Pepto-Bismol over the sushi. Please stop doing that.

I too have passed this place for over 30 years and never stopped in. The restaurant was very neat and clean on the inside, to go only style but, a few seats available to dine in. The service was prompt and super friendly as well as professional, prices are beyond reasonable. Now the food. I ordered shrimp egg fu young along with wonton soup. Starting with the soup, it lacked flavor, the dumplings were doughy and undercooked however I did enjoy all the veggies and pork pieces in side the soup especially the actual fried wontons. Unfortunately the dumplings were undercooked and I couldn't finish due to the gummy and chewy texture of the dough. Shrimp egg fu young is a dish that I must try at any restaurant when available this was no exception to the rule. The presentation was beautiful mouthwatering but once I bit into the egg foo yong, I got nothing but grease in my mouth. It didn't taste like anything but a bland fluffy grease pocket, and once I spat it out. Nothing but clear grease came out. my mouth was coated with a film of grease in no way could I finish that. I can only share my personal experience and unfortunately it wasn't great. Crazy part is I'm not opposed to giving them another shot with different items it will be a good while if I do decide to return but my initial experience wasn't the best food wise and although cheap it was a waste of money because it all went into the trash

Great food and very friendly staff. We used to frequent all the local Asian restaurants in bartlett but now we almost strictly eat here. I recommend the deep fried sushi. Delicious! They have an amazing repertoire of sushi. We eat here at least once a week and their menu is so big that it never gets old. The actual restaurant itself used to be a country/home style restaurant and still sports some of their decor- particularly an entire wall dedicated to U S. Military veteran's portraits. Not exactly what you'd expect to see at an oriental restaurant, but in my opinion that just adds character. Give it a try! read more

I am an entertainer and travel extensively, both nationally and abroad, but call Memphis my home. My favorite food is sushi and from my travels I can honestly say that Asian Star is one of the worlds best when it comes to Sushi. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but what's inside will blow your mind and your taste buds. While most places charge 7.00 or more per roll for a spicy tuna roll and give you six pieces, at Asian Star you get eight pieces for under 5.00. You've tried the rest, now try the best! read more

When I moved to Memphis I was disappointed with most of the Chinese restaurants we tried. All the places we tried were either way too nice/expensive for take out (like Mulans) or just not very high quality. I was so happy to finally find this place tucked away in Bartlett!! We order delivery from here regularly, my husband loves the Yakisoba and I love the sesame chicken or the beef w. broccoli. Their sushi is also top notch! read more
