Restaurant seems like a nice Mom and Pop kind of place. I ordered over the phone and was not asked for my phone number or credit card and not give my total charge over the phone so based on the menu I got online I was a little annoyed that I was paying a lot more for the food. I understand it but just annoyed as to not getting the total and getting surprised when pulling out my credit card. The food seemed above avg. as far as what I have had at other places. They forgot to put any sauce in my bag when I got home I had to use my own soy sauce. I am giving 3 stars because they need to fix the things I mentioned. They are not far off from getting another star if they just fixed a few things. read more

Quick service and lunch specials are great and prices are decent for what you get. No complaints!

Food and service is great! Anytime I go to this location I am greeted immediately and offered specials and asked how can they help! The restroom is always clean, just an all around cool place close to the house. The food preparation is huge! Come with expectation and a good appetite! read more

Eggrolls needed to be a bit crispier. Spare ribs were a mix of meaty and lean, but tasty. Hot and sour soup had too much tofu, but spot on flavor. Shrimp chow mein was perfect. Not bad and the delivery was fast. read more

Me and my family have been dining at China Star for a while now. The food has always been pretty tasty. I have heard lots of rumors about the food poisoning from the food here and I never believed them until the other day my daughter got food poisoning from the lo mein. The outside is not very attractive but the inside is a little more appealing to customers. The service here is very quick and I appreciate that! I never have to wait long when waiting for my food and it is always warm. The prices are very cheap as well. read more

AVOID!!!!! I'll never order from here again. There was a freaking bug in my plate!!! I'm so disgusted and sick to my stomach! read more

Avoid or you too may ask, "What is this glutinous mass in my food?" See photos... OK...it was lunchtime, there were other orders... I can understand the 30-minute wait. I don't *like* it, but I can understand it. What I DON'T understand is how China Star could serve such a glob of goo. I ordered Chicken Chow Mein -- the most basic, innocent dish on the menu. A complete non-adventure, right? Wrong. China Star achieved something I've never seen anywhere... I'm 63. Eaten thousands of meals. Eaten meals in 69 counties. But I've never been assaulted by a meal, until I tried China Star in Manassas. Opening the box, I grabbed my chopsticks and started into it ... And was initially subdued by the lack of taste. The celery was fine, but everything else was 'meh.' As if it had first passed through a flavor removal process before cooking. Striking in it's tastelessness. But as I went a couple bites deeper I struck something that moved the whole container. It's in the picture below. It's a mass of glued-together, stuck-together paste-and-veggies. What kind of paste? Unknown. And, although it's called Chicken Chow Mein, there was little chicken. It wasn't even Chicken-flavored Chow Mein, see comment on taste above. Overall, pathetic. Please read through some of these other reviews, but don't take too much time. You're better served by just going somewhere else. read more

Got take out to take home this evening. First time trying out this fairly new Chinese joint. Ordered spring rolls, hot and sour soup, Kung Pao Chicken (extra spicy) and Shrimp Fried Rice. Food was ready when I arrived - paid for it and continued on home. The Food: - Spring rolls were excellent! Crisp, not greasy at all. - Hot and Sour soup had a strange bit of sweetness to it that I am not accustomed to. - The Kung Pao Chicken would not be liked by Jesse C. It is more than chicken and peanuts. They add carrots, celery, and green bell pepper. Spiciness and flavor of the sauce were good. - Shrimp Fried Rice was very good. Very tasty! Con: - No authentic Chinese mustard - only the pre-packaged low quality Chinese mustard packets. Would definitely try here again! read more

China Star get's one more from me after my 'dine in' experience. I stopped in after along bike ride in the neighborhood. They have a great location at the corner of Wellington and Grant for an easy in and out. I ordered the Moo Shu pork which was quite good! It comes with steamed rice, plum sauce and those thin rice shells for wrapping like a chinese taco. Service was fast and friendly. I forgot my bike lock so the owner let me wheel my bike inside. Don't ask...I've had two bad experiences with my bike getting ripped off. I refuse to get a cheap bike. Any way, I had ordered take out here back in Oct which was a less than 3 star experience. For this most recent experience they get a one star upgrade! read more

Great food, fast delivery, and very good prices. If you ask them for something special to be done to your food (extra something, or remove something) they will do it, no extras charged... Great place.. 100% will revisit. read more

I have been getting food from this restaurant for years. They are always nice, very prompt and food is always fresh, hot and delicious!!! Never use another Chinese restaurant other then China Star! read more

Best Chinese in northern va Everything thing I've had has been amazing. Food is always fresh and hot! read more

Yucky. I accidentally placed an order here instead of the fantastic China Palace. I thought how bad could it be. Well, awful sums it up. Wontons in wonton soup were yellow. Soup was greasy. Egg rolls were super greasy and has napkin in bottom of wax paper bag which was wet with grease. Beef with Broccoli was gray. General tsaos chicken probably never saw a chicken and was also greasy. Rarely does good Chinese food have leftovers. Lots of leftovers. Also, I was only pick up order (no surprise). I walked in and the cashier immediately goes to look at receipts. I was the only customer and I waited 5 minutes while my bag of disgusting food sat on the counter. I just hope we all don't get food poisoning. read more

China Star remains the best takeout Chinese food in the area. Fast food is not gourmet! I score this by Quality (fresh, nutritious not stale or canned), Consistent (if you liked something, you will get the same next time), Fast (unbelievable they can really make all this in 10 minutes), and Inexpensive (use the coupons!). Where else can you get two heavy bags of nutritious, fresh tasty cooked food for under $50?! The ultimate judge of a restaurant is how busy they are. They have multiple phone lines and order takers - always busy; seldom do you not hear "please hold". For me, this is the best indication. Down with the internet trolls!! read more

We order delivery from here all the time. They are always nice and very fast. I've never had any issues with the food and would say it's enjoyable every time. Favorite items on the menu are the Steak & Cheese Egg Rolls, Shrimp & Pork Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoons, Egg Drop Soup, General Tso's Chicken, and Kung Pao Chicken. read more

I love this place! Great food The food is delicious my favorite Chinese restaurant I strongly recommend this place

After ordering several times and my food always coming out tasting god awful, Ive finally read the reviews on yelp. Never ordering again. Im sick to my stomach. The food has a bad aftertaste.I suggest Either China Wok or Panda Cafe. read more

We have order delivery and takeout meals for over a decade. The food ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. The Chef is excellent; seamlessly layering flavor profiles. The delivery is quick and food is always piping hot. We have never received a bad meal. The staff are very helpful and will easily accommodate food requirements. read more

I had to try several different Chinese restaurants in the area before I found this one. Now this is the only one we order from. Whenever I get hungry for Chinese food, this is our go-to place! They deliver for a minimal fee, the servings are always large, prices are always right and food is delicious! I've never eaten inside the restaurant; we've always had delivery, but never any complaints. I highly recommend the teriyaki chicken, the sweet and sour chicken, the crab rangoons and the sweet sugared biscuits! read more

The things were good but not good enough. I think it wasn't Chinese enoguh . I'm watching high school musical 2 right now while eating and I think it is drastically affecting the food if I were Zach Afro then I would go to New York City and cell weed on the street for money in front of the Chrysler Building . That girl need s to leave Zack Efrom alone. Zac Afron is the next guy I'll stalk probably he looks very good for his ripe old age of 56. I'm almost 56 so then we'll be soulmates . read more

China Star - Chinese Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Rude as hell. Asked for extra sauces and employee put hot oil in baggie and threw it on the table in an effort to give it to me.

I'm surprised at how many great Chinese food places there are around town. This one included. It has great dishes (General Tso's, House and Chicken fried rice, Shrimp and Scallops) comparable to the rest of my reviews in Chinese delivery places. Their service is fast and very pleasant people. I don't recommend the Crab Ragoon, it's a bit salty. I'm lookin forward to exploring the rest of the menu here. I've already ordered from this place 3x in the last 2 weeks, it's that good. They will offer a deal if you order a certain amount like most Chinese eateries. Wish the other cuisines would do that. read more

Just "okay" Chinese food (not much flavor, overcooked , and small portions for main dish but a TON of bland rice "fried") ordered the pu pu platter and the ribs were so overcooked we couldn't eat them but TERRIBLE customer service.. ordered a customized dish and didn't get. Person answering the phone really should'nt extremely rude! Lost a customer. read more

I ate here again, and I was not impressed now. The wonton soup is good. That alone is why it doesn't get the one star. But this time I ordered a Lo Mein dish. The noodles and everything else in it were greasy. Tons of rice (they got the order wrong with it as I requested white rice and they gave me fried) to the point where it made the dish inedible. On top of that, the noodles and the vegetables in it tasted out of a supermarket. How I managed to not get sick from it, also gets me 2/5. I also asked for a menu, and they did not give it to me. That's a bummer. Well, at least I tried. But don't think I will try again. read more

The wife and I have been looking for a new go to Chinese spot since moving to this end of town, and we have finally found it right in our backyard. Being a bit cautious about going there since they are right next to the sketchy part of town, and having taking a long break from Chinese food due to diets, I hadn't tried them in the two years I've lived over here. But the wife and I have both been struck with colds recently and Chinese food is our comfort food when sick, so we've had takeout here several times in the last few weeks with very positive results. My favorite thing, hands down, are the Steak and Cheese Egg rolls. The standard fried apps here are all very good, with ample portions for the right price. Wife and I both have had the Lo Mein and have been happy, I love the Crispy Beef special dinner and wife approves of the Shrimp with Mixed Vegetable. And they offer very good specials with a free item for $X purchase, with multiple options in each category. Using that, we got an order of Roast Pork Lo Mein, Shrimp with Mixed Veg, 2 S&C rolls, 2 beef spring rolls, an order of beef terayaki (6), an order of crab rangoon (12) for $27. Fantastic value, and everything was very good. Service has been mostly OK - one out of the three times I had a bit of a longer wait than advertised, but generally no issues and everyone here is friendly. I'll definitely be coming back here when I get the urge for Chinese. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would! The lady who picks up the phone and takes orders in the front is a complete b****. I was ordering and she became extremely rude. She knows nothing of customer service and seen in the comments others have also complained a lot about her. If you don't know how to handle costumers then don't associate with them! I've never seen such bad costumer service from any place before. I will not be ordering from there again. Rude and inconsiderate. read more

I am a Wu's Garden girl. They are my go to for Chinese delivery when I am at home. I thought I would branch out a bit and try something new - I called China Star and placed my typical order, General Tso's Chicken and an order of Crab Rangoon and threw in a diet coke for good measure. I could easily understand the woman on the phone. She told me it would be about 45 minutes and they delivered right within that time frame. IMO, Wu's Garden has the best crab Rangoon in Manassas, maybe anywhere, and this opinion still stands true today! China Star's order comes with 12 small purse style Rangoon's. They were basically still raw dough with cream cheese in them. They needed to be cooked a few minutes longer. The soggy dough and the super soft cheese filling was basically a bite of mush. No bueno! More crab...more onion... more flavor! Please!! The Generals Tso's Chicken wasn't bad but it also wasn't really good. It was a tad bit over breaded, soggy, included no broccoli and didn't have any spice to it whatsoever. Strike two! The rice - was white rice with soy sauce. No peas, no carrots, no onions and certainly no flavor. Strike three... boo! It's not that things here are terrible, but there are better options around. I don't see myself ordering here again. Food - 1 star. Service - 3 stars! read more

Best egg rolls ever! I never order these things because it's all cabbage and dry. My wife for these and I found myself saying: we have to go back to get some more. I could have eaten a dozen of them. We've been here a few times and it's a great place and not one of those "other" places. Definitely making this out go to Chinese place out here. I also feel very comfortable ordering anything of the menu even if I have never heard of it before. read more

Ordered a bunch of stuff and it was ok. The freebies like fried rice and sesame chicken were sad. I hate if you get subpar "freebies" when you order a ton of food. The fried rice just was rice with soy sauce. The wings were good. That and the beefy spring rolls. read more

Since moving to the Wellington/Manassas area about a year ago I've been going to Panda Cafe. Tonight I thought I'd give China Star a try. Their dumplings are very good, their dipping sauce isn't my personal favorite though. I also got chicken with mixed vegetables. They give you the option of brown or white sauce, I got brown. The ratio of meat to vegetable was very tasty, everything seemed fresh and good. Wish it was a little saltier. I got a free order of sweet and sour chicken with my order over $25, it was also very traditional and very good. Their steak and cheese egg rolls are smaller than Panda Cafe but they are also cheaper (2 for $2.95 at China Star, $2.45 each at Panda). I feel they are just as good. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was the customer service isn't so great but it wasn't horrible. All in all, they are a little cheaper than Panda Cafe and portions are still great. A few small differences but not bad. read more

Very prompt delivery and probably the best I have tried so far in manassas. Food was greasy but super hot. I really liked the egg rolls and the shrimp lo mein. The wonton soup had larger than normal wontons in it but still tasted delicious. I would order from them again. read more

Don't order from this place. The vegetable fried rice tasted like old food. Wings full of feathers and hair also tough. Gravy is an awful color and greasy. No way stay clear. read more

Quick to answer phone. Fast delivery...said 45 min they were knocking on my door in 20 min. Good sweet and sour chicken, great crab Rangoon. Will order again from them. I did not ask for chopsticks...none in bag:( read more

My boyfriend and I needed to find a new Chinese place since our favorite place was quickly going down hill. After some research we decided to give China Star a try. WOW! We have now found our new favorite place. The Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls are a must! Seriously addicting and will always be included in any of our orders. Sweet and Sour Chicken was delicious - best sauce we've ever had. Pepper Steak was amazing as well. Looking for a new place? You must try here - and make sure you have at least 2 orders of the Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls. read more

I already had a "go to" Chinese Restaurant, but I tried China Star since all the reviews on Yelp were so positive. POSITIVES: The ordering process was very easy, she even explained the dishes I could get for free after I asked. They did provide a calendar for the next year as well. The order showed up quickly and was hot and was a great price. The sesame chicken and white rice were good. NEGATIVES: However I was not pleased with the quality of the rest of the food. They put way too many onions in their Fried Rice, the Lo Mein noodles were a little soft for my taste and not much flavor. The Wonton Soup tasted a little onion-y to me as well (but that's just a personal preference). I don't think I will order from here again. I will be going back to Twin Lakes II. I do understand we are all different and have different tastes and preferences. I am not trying to sway anyone, simply giving my opinion in hope it helps. read more

This is my 1st experience with them. The food is good/great and delivery service fast! I ordered the Orange Chicken lunch special, great! The egg roll that came with it is a bigger egg roll and delicious. I'm picky with Crab Rangoon's and I'm still trying to find the perfect one. There's are good, with more meat and just enough crunch, but a touch salty. I also tried their steak & cheese egg roll. It was okay but I know people rave about then, so it's worth trying to decide for yourself. I will definitely order from them again and try something different :) Again, amazing Orange Chicken and egg roll!! read more

Was really feeling Chinese yesterday so I stopped by China Star. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food was really good. I ordered the General Tso chicken and the cheesesteak egg rolls. The chicken was very good, tho I was a bit disappointed it didn't include broccoli. But that's alright because it meant more chicken. I'm going to do my best not to over exaggerate this next part, but the cheesesteak egg rolls were the greatest thing of all time, ever. It is imperative these get ordered with every meal. Obviously I will be frequenting China Star again. read more
