We wanted some place for easy take out so opted for china star. Ordered egg roll, fried vegetarian dumplings, hot and sour soup, general tso's chicken, and garlic egg plant. I especially liked that you could get white or fried rice with each entree! Order was said to be ready in 20 minutes. When I got there everything was in fact in a box and ready to go. I was also asked what sauces I wanted and ended up with spicy mustard and hot sauce. The restaurant itself does not appear to have a place to actually sit down, at least at the time I went, so to go or delivery only! Food itself was solid. Especially for the price, very generous helpings. Really enjoyed my meal and have a ton of leftovers! read more

China Star - Interior - Chinese Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

I like china star but I don't love it. They refuse, just like other Chinese restaurants, to include a free soda unless you spend $50!! The food is ok. It's tasty but a little too much sugar and grease if you ask me. The place removed all their seating so it gives it a weird janitors closet vibe. The people are nice there and the food is served fast. I just wish they would freshen up their appearance. read more

I got a beef and broccoli combo. It's not bad. The broccoli is overcooked. It doesn't taste like a tradition Chinese plaatw that you would do takeout in America. read more

Great price, great taste, and generous amount! The lady at the front is nice. I enjoyed my sm pork fried lo mein :) More generous in giving hot sauce packets than other places. read more

Absolutely AWESOME If you live in East Haven or 25 mile radius of CHINA STAR & haven't yet tried this place out yet, well... you're totally losing out. OMG!!

WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THIS PLACE IN LITTLE EASTHAVEN, CT! Foliage & China One cannot even come close to China Stars excellent quality & quantity excellent food!!!!! read more

The food is fantastic - 5 stars. This has been our go-to place for the last few years. BUT I always order online. with my debit card. and then my data was stolen. I didn't want to think it was China Star, so the next time we ordered, I used a credit card with a 0 balance that I use only for emergencies. Within a week, that card was maxed out with fraudulent charges. I don't know if someone got in to the card reader at the store, or if someone at their card processing company is skimming, but I will not be using my card there again. The food is good enough that I will go there and pay cash, though. read more

Ordered sesame shrimp and at first I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the shrimp then realized it was all batter and the batter tasted pasty and really off Maybe it was just my dish but don't think I would order from them again read more

This was my first time at this restaurant, and we chose it because it's online picture looked clean, and we're open late as I was held up at work. The soup was rich and flavorful. The egg rolls, crunchy and fresh, not greasy. The chop suey was huge and fried rice accompaniment, again not greasy and pork pieces meaty and moist. Kung Pao pork was amazing. I'll drive in from Branford anytime. read more

So if anyone is thinking about eating at China star in east haven. ( keep in mind I have eaten here soo many times, and LOVED their food) I would strongly urge you to rethink that decision. Found a cockroach crawling out of my bag! And after calling them to tell them I want a refund,They laughed in my face and said maybe you have roaches......... so Happy Saturday (yes I drove down there with roach in hand to get my money back) read more

China Star - a small insect on a white surface - Chinese Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

They should be called "China No Star" because they deserve none! I have eaten their food before (always delivered) and would have given them four stars. However, this time our chinese doughnuts, which are sweet, came covered in SALT. Not sugar. In fact, the bag they came in was half filled with salt. The rest of the order was awful as well. Old, stale, cold food. And if they rolled the doughnuts in salt, what else did they do to the rest of the order? If this had been my first time eating their food I would have thought they were a dump, but I know they can cook. So why this treatment? Well, I can think of only one thing. I have tipped them generously in the past but this time my daughter ordered over the internet and only tipped one dollar. So there you go. If you tip you get decent food. If you don't you get crap. But consider this: what if you tip, but it's not quite what they wanted? What do you think they do with your food that you don't know about? What if they just don't like you? Something to think about the next time you get take out. read more

Tried it the other night. March 2019... we thought it was excellent. Free 2 liter soda if you spend over 40 dollars. ... We will try it again soon. Went back again the very next week. It was still great. Perfect take out. read more

Quality, reliable local Chinese food. This is the same type of Chinese I grew up with in Northeast MA, so I'm sold! Their appetizers are wonderful, as is the beef and broccoli and Egg Foo Young. Always get great quality food and service! read more

Been here twice. Have not eaten the food. Both times, once about a year ago. And once in 2019. Both times were for lunch. And both times I was asked to spend more then $10.00 on my debt card. Maybe a menu review is in order. Lunch is generally under $6.00 and dinner is under $10.00 read more

Ok mixed review here. The General Tso Chicken is good. So is Chicken and String Beans. Egg rolls good. Lo Mein too oily. The vegetable dumplings had a nice filling but the dumpling was very very thick and too chewy. read more

I love China star. Food is made in a clean environment and they have fast delivery. Occasionally, they forget something in our order so be sure to go over it with them. Otherwise, everywhere else in east haven is grubby read more

Food is consistently good, prices are good and the staff is friendly. The combination plates are our favorites. My daughter gets General Tsos Chicken Combo, so much food. The egg rolls are always fresh and crispy, but never greasy. The LoMein, so delicious read more

OMG wtf happened to this place???? Must be a new cook or ownership because I Waited 1 1/2 hours for my food they said would take 40 mins tops but I wasn't that upset once I saw car pull up. Then I opened my food up and immediately thought "this looks different..." but still just wanted to eat but once I took a bite of my chicken Lo Main it almost made me gag! it it was not fresh at all and tasted repulsive! So then I tried my won ton soup and the noodles were all falling apart like they sat in old cold water overnight. The general Tsao was different but pretty good. Wasn't spicy like it should be tho And was smothered in sweet and sour sauce. They must have a new cook because this place use to be amazing. read more

China Star - This looks slimy and old and taste awful - Chinese Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

I've been using China Star since 1987. I have never had an issue with them or their food. Everything is perfect, and I often compare their food to others when I try them. and John F. you ordered during a storm, what else did you expect? Believe me, your neighbors will still be coming here, as they'll understand that you're the exception to their service, not the rule. Stuff happens. read more

MOST OF MY NEIGHBORS USE CHINA STAR BUT I GUARANTEE THEY WON'T AFTER TONIGHT I WILL BAD MOUTH THEIR BUISNESS ON EVERY SOCIAL NETWORK AND SPREAD THEIR BAD PRATICE ALL OVER TOWN THE WORD IS BEING SPREAD read more

I have been using the China Star for several years for ~take out and delivery~ The food is consistant and good. I too love the chicken mei fun and unlike one reviewer have had no problems with the texture or the way it was cooked. However in all fairness that review is several years old. The wait time is not unusual and depends on the time of night you call. The soups are great and the wontons fresh and tasty. The bbq bone in ribs are broiled and never burned or underdone. The bones are meaty and tasty. All in all I would have given them a five but I constantly ask for extra ~sweet or duck sauce~ and would be willing to pay for it but I never get enough. I've taken to buying my own in a jar. Perhaps, what is extra for me is not for the person filling the order. Small price to pay for good food and good delivery service. I would not change for something so small. read more

Ordered takeout haven't been here in a while food totally downhill SUCKS never again!!!

China Star has tasty consistent food and a clean kitchen visible from the counter. I have been going there for many years and never had any issue. read more

Most AMAZING general tso chicken! Very kind and helpful waitress. Gave good suggestions and service. Can't beat the prices and quality.

Would be five stars, but the last few times I got chicken mei fun it either had a weird texture to it, was unevenly cooked, or was drowned in oil. I usually have zero complaints about their food, and have been patronizing this shop for a very long time. Their prices are great and cooking times are speedy. Love their broccoli and chicken. read more

Very good quality food. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. They make the best crab rangoons i've ever had. Def. going back.

I have eaten at uncountable Chinese buffets, restaurants and take outs. Staff is very very friendly and they have the best quality food hands down. Worth the drive. read more
