    a menu for lunch specials
    Shawn L.

    We have been customers here for many years. Last year we moved away from the area and only get here occasionally now. This was our go to Chinese food place. I do miss it for sure. The food always tastes good, the prices are fair and the portions are large. While they do have two tables the restaurant primarily deals in takeout. The owners are very personable and helpful if you need any recommendations on what to eat.

    General Tsos chicken. Lunch plate.

    China Star is the quintessential neighborhood Chinese fast food rest Quick to order and prepare; good enough and cheap. This is a real saver and I visit once every couple of months (in 7 yrs) and not once have I had an issue with my order.

    a bowl of soup with a spoon in it

    Awesome Chinese food in the Fishhawk/Lithia, fl area. If you like New York style Chinese food this is the place. The Lo Mein, Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup are the real deal.

    not fully cooked.

    First delivery from this place…read more Delivery was delayed for an undisclosed reason. The food, when it arrived was perfect. The rolls and pork dish were delicious. I only wish they had pork with bean sprouts which I can't find around here.

    This place is fairly close to my house, but we just never tried it because we had our "go-to"…read moreChinese spots. However, while Hurricane Helene was approaching, we lost power pretty early in the day, so ordered this place for delivery. The delivery time was listed as a very fast time, but it did take about 45 minutes to receive from order to delivery. I'll be completely honest, this was mediocre at best. My son ordered teriyaki beef skewers and plain lo mein. The lo mein was unseasoned. It tasted like plain boiled pasta. The teriyaki beef wasn't too bad; it tasted good but was completely dry. I got the Mongolian beef combo meal and my partner got the bourbon chicken combo meal. Both were very bland. The fried rice was basic at best. I bit into many hard peas. The egg rolls are absolutely terrible. They tasted frozen, they were barely warm, and they felt like they were pre-fried and sitting out. The common theme with everything we ordered was bland food made with cheap ingredients. We honestly couldn't finish any of this food with one exception: my son did finish the teriyaki beef. Realistically, I don't think we would ever order here or eat in this place just because all of the food was pretty tasteless, the quality was subpar, and I just frankly can't spend my money at places that are ok with serving substandard food.

    Happiness is a warm embracing chili oil aura eminating from your body. I asked an Asian Foodie…read moregroup for the best places to go and Bejing House was one reply by many. I waited until I was in the area and tried it. I was so impressed that I made a 2nd visit before I made this review. Located in a strip mall west of 275 on Fletcher, the menu is impressive. Once I disvovered, over 20 years ago, the treasure trove of authentic chinese dishes available at many chinese food places. I seldom order the cookie cutter American versions so many people find familiar. This place has Sichuan and Northern Chinese food. The ambiance is perfect, never too loud. The wait staff are young and pleasant. Very helpful and attentive. Plenty of free parking. My first visit blessed me with two cravable dishes that frolic in my mind joyously. The Handmade Noodles w/ Ginger & Scallìon and the Shrimp Rolls. The noodles made fresh every morning were luxurious on the palate, soft and silky with a perfect amount of heat from the chili oil and a subtle fragrant flavor that wooed the senses. The small crispy Shrimp Rolls bursting with delectable flavors was so enticing. I could devour those non-stop. I also had the Tea Smoked Duck and that is the only item I did not relate to. A bowl of seasoning is provided for you to dip your duck pieces as you ate. The duck alone had no appealing flavor. The flavor came as you dip the duck in the 5 spice. The issue was each bite tasted different, too little spice, too much spice and at times the perfect amount. I would much prefer for it to come flavored and spice by a pro in the kitchen so every bite was good. I tried a Choya Plum wine that was pleasant. My 2nd visit began with Sichuan Crispy Chili Wings. Delightful flavor, tossed with chili's, garlic and cilantro in a spicy sauce. An enjoyable amount of heat, covered in that tasty piquant and crispy sauce. The kicker was the addition of a few chunks of fried potatoes also covered in sauce. My sides were some low mein noodles and an amazing string bean dish stir fried with crispy garlic, minced pork and a chili sauce. A must try item. Again, a dish with spicy heat at a perfect pitch. The main attraction came in a small wok over a lit burner and is Griddle Fish. The same dish is also available in about 10 other protein choices. A fabulous dish that had wonderful textures and flavors. The fish however was mushy inside. Likely made with Swai or Tilapia which I detest since they live their lives in excrement. My fault for not thinking before I ordered since I had so many other choices. Delicious if you can get past the inferior fish quality. The desserts were marvelous. Cream Brulee Cheesecake and Yuzu Beignets. Rich and delectable. Beautifully balanced sweetness factor. Wife loved them! Cravable food is everywhere due to the chemicals fast food places use to trick your brain at the expense of your health. To find food you crave because of cooking mastery and the genius blend of the food, herbs and spices...well that is special. This is a special place. COME GET YA SOME!!

    I've been to this restaurant a few times so I guess it may be confusing as to why I gave 2 stars…read morehere's why. I like certain dishes because they are seasoned well. My issue is their portions. I got the lunch special pepper steak with fried rice and a can of soda totaling $8.35 plus tax. Like I said they seasoned their food well but they rip you off when it comes to getting items like the meats that go with the dish. If a particular dish comes with vegetables rest assured you will be getting more vegetables than meat. I know I shouldn't expect a lot from a lunch special right? Here's the kicker I would expect to get a decent amount of pepper steak they're cut into strips anyway but this time I got literally four mini straps of paper steak and about a half ton of onions and a few pieces of bell peppers. This makes no sense. This should have been called sauted onions and peppers with a hint of pepper steak lol. I now realize this restaurant covers up by making the food tasty so you get distracted by the lack of either shrimp or beef that's missing. The chicken and pork dishes are fine because those are inexpensive kind of meat so they give healthy portions when it comes to that. Pictured is what I received however I did eat a piece of meat and this was what was left of the meat portion there are three small strips left in that plate when I took the photo. This could be a really nice place to eat if they weren't so cheap with the meat and shrimp portions. Hopefully it gets better and if it does I will update my review

Mongolian Beef combo with Friend Rice and an egg roll for 9 bucks, you can't beat that. I like their Lo Mein with no Bokchoy too.
