    Vegetable egg foo young
    Allan A.

    After ten months I once again ordered egg foo young take out. However, this time I got it with vegetables. Was disappointed to discover the only vegetable was onions. Guess my cravings for some Chinese vegetables will not be satisfied today. Meal was hot and fresh. Combo went up 20% in price since last visit. Veggies would have added a star to this review. Note that the restaurant listing stated the store was closed but at 4pm on a Friday in late August it was open.

    Eggroll
    Jennifer B.

    Tried them out again today. Mumbo Wings and the MooGooGaiPan Combo with pork fried rice. Note to self: Always get the wings with the sauce on the side. The eggroll was delicious but I would have liked to have seen more meat in it. The wings were delicious. The MooGooGaiPan was good. Loved the fresh vegetables and sauce was yummy. The fried rice was good. Missing some more pork. Overall good experience.

    Hunan Chicken
    J B.

    I was planning to order some food nearby but the place I was going to call was closed today so I decided to try China Star instead. I ordered Hunan Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken because I couldn't decide. I tried some of both and they're really good. The portions are pretty large so I've still got more than a meal left over for later. I'll definitely be a regular from now on.

    This is my favorite local Chinese and bonus it's right down the road from my house. They are a family business. Friendly and efficient. Food is always consistent. Thank you!!

    Good food, various flavors of wings. Kind of pricey in comparison to other Chinese cuisine I've had in the area.

    Carolina Fish Fry - Large shrimp in buffalo sauce, white rice, and double hush puppies

    Carolina Fish Fry

    Holy Grilled Catfish!!! As a Florida Girl I have eaten a…read moreton of seafood growing up and can be picky about fish restaurants. This was my 1st time driving to Garner on my way to the new VA Clinic for a fasting lab. As I turned onto Benson Road I couldn't help but notice the Carolina Fish Fry sign written in friendly letters almost welcoming me to stop in and have a bite. I KNEW I would be stopping here on the way back home to Raleigh. And I did. Just after noon and not having eaten since 9pm the previous day I was READY for some chow! As I got out of my car I noticed a Greek themed food truck parked outside. They have a partnership with the restaurant to use their kitchen to make the meals that are very good according to staff. It was closed when I arrived. But I was there for seafood. It was CALLING to me! As I approached the door I noticed the beach vibes and decor on the outside and inside of the restaurant. The menu has a lot of different types of fish and offers both grilled and fried options. I was little overwhelmed by the choices as I love all seafood. I asked the woman behind the counter what she would recommend. We must be kindred spirits because she recommended the catfish. I remembered that a fellow veteran I met that day while waiting in the fasting lab mentioned they go here "for the catfish." At first I was looking at the flounder. See, my Mom makes The BEST stuffed flounder in the WORLD. So, whenever flounder is on the menu, I have to go there. But, I can't turn down a good catfish. Uncle Hershel is a friend of mine. If you know, you know. I was given the choice of a basket? Or a platter. The player I believe had FIVE?! Pieces of fish plus sides. Now, I had been fasting, but I was pretty sure I could not eat FIVE pieces of fish. So I went for the smaller serving of three plus it came with three sides. The bottom three sides on the sides menu attached to the order window are premium sides with a $1.50 up charge. One of those is the fried okra; something I can't resist having grown up in the south. I got the grilled catfish. It was a hard choice as I really wanted fried, but trying to be healthier as I recently lost 6lbs. Plus, I got those fried hush puppies, fried okra and some healthy and OMG delicious best I ever had in the WORLD collard greens. In fact, my fork dove into the collards first. I couldn't stop eating them. I could taste the subtle hint of vinegar pepper sauce. But it wasn't spicy and didn't burn my mouth. I could eat an entire bowl of those collard greens. I don't normally make audible yummy sounds when eating in public. But, if you were sat nearby yesterday afternoon you would have heard me go "mmmm" with every bite. I'm not a religious person, but this was a "come to Jesus moment." I mean, these collard greens alone are a religious experience. You have to try them. Most places you go collard greens are over cooked. Not these. They kept their deep green color and tender but not cooked to death consistency. Tartar sauce and cocktail sauce is offered with the fish dishes. The tartar sauce tastes like it's homemade. Really good. I was dipping all sorts of things in the tartar sauce that I never did before it was that good. Oh no! I had an extra tartar sauce I brought home in my backpack that I JUST now realized I never put in the fridge. OOPS! Anyway, time for me to post some of the pics I snapped after my incredible meal washed down with pink lemonade. Free refills on drinks by the way. Super casual laid back vibe with Jimmy Buffet music playing in the background.

    Review on May 11, 2026: 3 stars…read more I visited this restaurant today with my parents because we felt like having some good seafood, and we have had good seafood at this restaurant before. The cashier was professional and took our order quickly. This was an order to go. After I received my receipt for using a credit card including the receipt with the itemized order, I realized there was a discrepancy on the total amount of my order versus what was charged to my credit card. There was a 3.5% difference. I questioned the cashier regarding this discrepancy, and she then pointed to a note that was stuck on the plastic shield in front of the cash register area. Apparently, if you use a credit card for your purchase, there's an extra 3.5% charge but if you use cash, you don't have that charge. I didn't make any extra fuss about it only because I needed to get my parents home; however, I was not at all happy with not being told this upfront. At the very least, this note on that plastic shield could have been pointed out for me to review before placing my order. I should not have had to find out about it after questioning a discrepancy to then be shown a note on a plastic shield. When you are at a fast food restaurant, you don't arbitrarily read stuff that's sticking on plastic shields or anywhere else for that matter. It should be up to the cashier to make mention about any changes to their policies or practices. As far as I am concerned, this is a very shady practice. I rated this restaurant with three stars and not lower because the food was good. The shrimps were cooked perfectly, and the buffalo sauce was fabulous! I always enjoy their hush puppies. The rice was okay. My parents enjoyed their grilled flounder and grilled bone-in pork chops. The portion sizes for all meals were a bit smaller than expected though. I don't like feeling like I was deceived or taken advantaged of. Not having that 3.5% highlighted to me at the time of my order feels very deceitful. I left feeling like I was taken advantage of. Not sure when/if I will return to this restaurant.

    Food was about a 6.5 as it lacked flavor & it was cold. The cabbage was probably the best thing…read more Sweet potatoes tasted like canned sweet potatoes & the Mac n cheese was not fresh. I really wanted to like this place. Service was good & I enjoyed the soca music. I'll give it another try

    I ordered the oxtail dinner with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. The flavor was pretty good,…read moreand the portion looked big at first, but it was mostly rice and peas. For $23, which I know is pretty standard for oxtail, I expected more meat. I got about three or four medium-to-large pieces, but the rest were really small. My husband went with the curry chicken. I tried a bite and didn't care for it. He said it was okay but felt like his rice and peas were dry. I think the gravy from my oxtails saved my meal because otherwise, mine would have been dry too. Customer service from the gentleman at the counter was nice, but the vibe in the lobby threw me off. A short fat woman who was an employee kept going in and out, pacing around, and at one point, she bumped into me without saying excuse me. That definitely left a bad taste in my mouth before I even got my food. I ordered dessert, and that was a total miss. The rum cheesecake tasted like straight rum. No sweetness, no cheesecake flavor... just strong alcohol. Honestly, I threw it away. The food was average, the dessert was a no go, and the overall experience wasn't great. We won't be back.
