    Chicken Lo Mein with pork fried rice

    Best lo mein I've ever had. The owner is so sweet every time I come in with my son. The prices are great and my order is always ready within 15 minutes of ordering.

    Curry Chicken with Pork Fried Rice (takeout)
    Dominik S.

    Just saw this place pop up while getting a haircut at great clips next door this Sunday. So, I'd figure I'd give it a try. I ordered the curry chicken with pork fried rice for take out. Order took about 5-10 minutes to prepare. The staff was very friendly. Now to the food. The rice was very good. It wasn't too greasy or bland. It was just right. Very favorable with the right amount of veggies (I like veggies). The curry chicken was lightly glazed and was perfect. The meal itself was slightly spicy but I like spicy so it was great. Overall great first time meal here. My stomach didn't feel like crap like some other Chinese joints out there and it filled me up. Going to bring my wife over here for lunch sometime in the near future. Give it a try. ps they also server sushi but not until next week. No biggie as they literally just opened recently.

    Misoday to you :)

    China Star more like China no stars! This is too greasy and not flavorful enough to be called Chinese food. Don't waste your money.

Their lunch offerings is spectacular and they do not skimp out. Especially the boxes. I typically "roll" with the 3 roll social. I ordered 2 of the yam rolls and 1 shrimp/asparagus roll. The special comes with miso soup and salad. Let's start with the soup, it came in at the perfect temperature. It had tofu and the broth was seasoned well. The crispy lettuce was covered with the Japanese dressing which was nice and bright, it was well balanced with rice vinegar and ginger. On to the Shrimp / Asparagus Roll. The asparagus was fresh and crisp. The shrimp was tender. The sushi rice was fluffy. The size of the roll is decent for lunch. Next the sweet potato rolls are my favorite, the tempura battered yams provided a nice crunch with every bite. I like this place but only have been here for lunch. Like I mentioned, we go here to celebrate a team member moving on to their next chapter. Good food, good service, good conversations with great people make this place special.

You get to order your food from a tablet that has descriptions and pictures of all of the food. It's really easy and convenient. AUCE for $35.99 is the only dinner option. The food was all delicious and fresh. The beef fried rice is the best I've had in years. The beef teriyaki was excellent as well as their rolls. The shrimp was large and salmon was fresh. This location is new, clean, and serving fresh flavor filled food! -------- The downside is I had called ahead to confirm they could serve someone with a gluten and dairy allergy and was told yes and that they had a gluten free menu. They do indeed have a gluten free menu, but there seem to be some kinks in the ordering process or holes in knowledge of what contains gluten as I was served multiple dishes with gluten. I do not recommend this restaurant for anyone with a severe gluten allergy or celiac.

Chicken katsu, fried mushroom and short ribs are the ramen options. I appreciated that it wasn't your typical salty version.

Note - if you don't want an ingredient be sure to note it when your order online. Our kids can't have chili flakes and they left them out for us. Excellent sesame broccolini as a small plate/side. Chinese walnut cookies were a great ending. Everything was packed very nicely but if we could, I'd rather eat it there in person to save all the plastic tubs that were used for our family of 4. Come spring, we hope to eat outside if the option is there. The only change we wished for were some expanded menu options with the ramen. Build your own ramen would be great.

Website is active, Blue Bear lists a Ramen special as their Saturday Special. However, online ordering didn't work, which happens when restaurants are swamped or planning for a busy night. My husband called to order and they are CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. Any mention on their social media, website, on Blue Bear? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Not even a very simple social media post that would take 5 min total to put across platforms. Also, you're closed for the season in April, in Wisconsin?? It may snow again next week and it's out of season for Ramen? That doesn't even make sense. I am so disappointed and it's the absolute lack of care or respect for communication which there is no excuse for in 2023 when you can put information out so easily. So I have no idea how the food tastes because they stopped serving it without telling anyone.

Our group had chicken, steak and salmon as well as sushi and a noodle dish. There was a mix up on our noodle order which was unfortunate. With everything being so timed for getting you in and out - having them redo a dish that was wrong didn't seem possible. Really enjoyed our experience and would recommend it to others. For the birthdays they brought out a sliced pineapple and candle and sang happy birthday in Japanese. Cute! They also had a birthday gong which was cool too. The one thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 star review is that they get you in and out and it feels rushed. We had brought gifts for our birthday people and we ended up taking them with us as we didn't feel there was time or space to enjoy opening them. You can't really sit and chat after your meal as they are already bringing out the supplies for the next people. Food was good! Staff were friendly and the show was terrific. Totally recommend giving it a try!
