The best ever
Franny A.

The best of the Brooklyn old school Chinese spots. I have wanted to come for years & now I've come twice. Firstly, it's inaccessible by public transportation but parking is plentiful. It's big and renovated & there's booths! The noodles are still housemade and it's not inexpensive but its quality is unsurpassed with Hunan Cottage right up there. The wonton soup is the best I ever had and overall a delicious treat!

We had a great meal today. The boneless spare ribs were delicious and the handmade egg rolls were perfectly crispy. The egg foo young had quality shrimp, and the General Tso's chicken was well made with just the right amount of breading. The wonton and hot and sour soups were both tasty, and dessert was delicious. Lovely decor, excellent service, and very friendly staff. Will return when in town!

Definitely a restaurant to recommend. Service was fast and our server was very pleasant. Came here to celebrate a small birthday and we all left with a happy belly. Portions are great to share. We chose to do the family style menu for 4 people-this was for 125 dollars. There are other options too. Ours comes with choice of soup, an egg roll , rice and 4 choice of entrees , plus dessert. It was a great deal because we even took food home. Overall we thought it was a great place to come in a group or for takeout as well.

General Tao's Chicken
Trey W.

The fried noodles were a great starter and the wonton paired perfectly with the cool weather outside. I ordered the General Tao's Chicken that was very savory, plus I added some additional sauce to my dish that gave a nice base to have alongside the rice with fresh broccoli. I brought my baby who began to get restless and the servers were very understanding furthermore giving me all the reason to return to this establishment.

Complimentary hot & sour soup
Eleanor V.

I love the food. Always on point, Fast & delicious. My favorite is the Happy Family, you get a little bit of everything in this delicious brown sauce.

Crispy noodles
David D.

I finally decided to try this place out after several friends recommended it. I came today for dinner with my daughter and we noticed that the restaurant was big very old school like Chinese restaurant. As we entered, the Hostess greeted us promptly and we were asked if we wanted a booth or a table we elected to get the booth. As we sat, we noticed that they had table cloths, and the table was set very nicely. Soon after we sat down, the server came over. He brought us the crispy noodles with the house made duck sauce as well as the house made hot mustard. The crispy noodles with the duck sauce was delicious. I'm not a big fan of mustard and general so I didn't try that. We were also given a complementary pot of Chinese tea. after looking at the menu, we decided to order the boneless spare ribs, the accessory chicken, and the chicken lo mein and we wanted to split it up like Family style. First thing we tried was the boneless spareribs they were meaty and juicy, and tender the sauce was not too overbearing. The only thing I would change is perhaps cutting them into smaller slices. then we decided to try the sesame chicken and we added some chicken lo mein to it. The sesame chicken was white meat. It was fresh. It had a light fluffy taste to it and it wasn't too salty the chicken lo mein. We also enjoyed perhaps maybe needing more chicken and the lo mein but other than that no complaints here. The service was prompt and very attentive and like other reviewers it wasn't overbearing. I would say all in all my daughter and I really enjoyed our dinner and we will come back and maybe try some of their other menu items.

See all

Best eggrolls in Brooklyn but why change the duck sauce? Hoping the new choice is temporary.

I have noticed in the past few months a lot of new faces and a difference in the food. Has there been a management change? How about new ownership?

I was there today, 12/26/21, and I saw new faces too, so I asked them, and they said that the business was sold three years ago. Some of the items on the menu have more than… 

How long has China New Star on Flatbush Ave,Brooklyn, NY been around? My quess is about 50 yrs.

Long enough that they gradually increased their prices to $20 for the most basic and bland food

Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

I decided to try the bourbon chicken with plain fried rice and I was very pleased with my order. The chicken was seasoned just right and tasted amazing. I also ordered a lemonade which came with a slice of lemon inside. I couldn't eat of my food that evening so I placed the rest inside of the refrigerator for lunch the following day. Lunchtime came around so I heated the rest of food for my lunch and the food tasted just as good as it did the previous day. The restaurant's decor wasn't anything spectacular, just plain and simple. I like to look around the restaurant if possible to check out the cleanliness of the business overall. It seemed to be very clean to me......in my opinion. I will definitely be back to patronize Hardee's again for great food and good service.

Get the "20 mini dumplings + drink of your choice". Seriously, I'm getting hungry just writing this review. Food: I ordered the 20 mini dumplings and drink combo, substituting the soda option for taro boba (+$4), totaling around $18 after tax! The dumplings are mini, but they are filled with so much flavor it's unbelievable. They each have a bit of soup in them that is so flavorful and not salty. There is also a slight bit of crispiness on the outside of each dumpling before the inside just melts in your mouth. It's unbelievably good. The taro boba is also well done. It's not too sweet, and the boba pearls are a unique level of like not that chewy and feel almost like popping boba?! Service: Friendly service! My friend and I did to-go, but the staff were all quite friendly. There is also a kiosk to order from if in a rush. Ambiance: It's a very clean restaurant and spacious. However, since there were so many people waiting for the viral item, we formed essentially a crowd outside the steps. The wait took about half an hour, and then my friend and I walked just down a couple of blocks to the Brooklyn Heights promenade, which has the most stunning view of the Manhattan skyline.
