Ok....first time here for me, and it definitely will NOT be my last!! Staff was amazing, even called me with questions on my online order. Food is fantastic, and so much for the cost. I have 2 or 3 meals left! Definitely worth a visit! read more

We ordered Kung Pao chicken, curry beef, and egg rolls. The egg rolls were a bit greasy, and both the Kung Pao chicken and curry beef lacked flavor. The curry beef also had very little beef in it. In the past, the food at this restaurant was much better, but the taste and quality have declined. Unfortunately, we don't plan to return. read more

China Star is my go-to Chinese takeout spot in the area. I can't believe I used to drive further out for Panda Express when this spot is way closer and the food is so much better. My go-to are: 1) The Sesame Chicken Combo (comes with fried rice and your choice of 3 cream cheese wontons or 1 egg roll). Everyone knows what Sesame Chicken tastes like, and this is a darn good one. I also had their Orange Chicken, and trust me it's also really good, but something about that Sesame Chicken just hits different. 2) The Beef Lo Mein. The beef is super tender and flavorful, and the noodles have a perfect bite to them. The sauce is slightly salty and umami. This blows Panda Express' Lo Mein out the water. 3) The fried chicken. This is classic amazing Chinese fried chicken. Slightly battered, really crispy exterior, juicy and moist interior. So good. If you're in the area and want some good American Chinese takeout food, this spot is it. They're geared towards takeout, so I don't know if you can dine in, as people usually occupy the space to wait for their takeout order. read more

They must have a different owner. This use to be my go to Chinese joint. The last time I ordered there will also be my last time going there.Food quality has really slipped. read more

This is a must visit Chinese restaurant in Minnesota! I'd consider myself an avid Chinese food connoisseur, and China Star is consistently high on my list of go-to spots. The food is consistently delicious, packed with flavor and always a large portion size for the price. The location itself is very clean and comfortable. Wait times are always short and the staff is very efficient and kind. Personal food recommendations: Lunch specials-- very much worth the money for the portions and variety Sesame chicken Cream cheese wontons Chicken chow mein I'll be a lifelong customer here! read more

I arrived around dinner time and ordered the chicken fried rice. The price was reasonable, and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the chicken and rice seemed a bit old and were dry, with a rather bland flavor. The dish consisted of rice, chicken, a light sauce, and medium-cut onions. I steamed the leftovers in the microwave and it was better than fresh from the restaurant. This was my first visit. I might try them again later. read more

excellent food. fast and fresh and hot and priced well. need to be hungry to finish the serving size. would recommend you try either eat in or take out. small seating area. read more

I wish I lived closer because this is possibly one of the best Chinese restaurants within the surrounding areas! This used to be our go-to when we'd go back north from a weekend in the twin cities. Perfect hangover and road trip food. Shrimp lo mein 10/10 so flavorful and they put so much in your take away bowl! Cannot recommend it enough! Cashew chicken 10/10 I have no idea what they do to it, but this cashew chicken is probably the best I've ever had. It's crispy but there's so much sauce and everything is just perfect. I definitely want to get more from there but these two are such heavy hitters! read more

Got this delivered last night and am very happy I did! Food was clearly prepared fresh before delivery and while it's standard Chinese-American takeout, it's a good rendition that won't leave you disappointed. Portions were pretty solid - two combination plates (entree, chicken fried rice, and an egg roll) were around $15 apiece and fed three people, with enough left for a small lunch the next day. Only thing I'd recommend if you get delivery is to make sure you have some real soy sauce. The packets they include are the super-cheap "Kari-out" brand and are literally just salt water with caramel color. Just use your own if at all possible! read more

I ordered the Generals chicken, it was fair priced and large quantity of food. Served with white rice. Made quickly and very clean restaurant. read more

This is my TO-GO-TO spot! I live nearby and I would recommend to come here every time! The food tastes amazing! They work hard and their food is always on point! read more

My wife and I wanted to try a new place for food. While it didn't seem like anything outstanding from the outside, oh did this place surprise us both. We ordered sweet and sour chicken along with Ta Chien Chicken. The sweet and sour chicken was hot, fresh and outstanding. The Ta Chien chicken for my spice tolerance wasn't spicy whatsoever, but it had a great taste too. We had also tried some cream cheese wontons those delivered and more. We will definitely be coming back in the future as the price for the quality and quantity were an absolute steal. read more

Great food. Good service. Been around for ever and never disappoints. Lunch and dinner meals great value

Cool spot feels like a hidden gem . Also right next to a thc shop!! Basic very edible strip mall chinese food .

The food is very good. I've had the Beef with broccoli meal and the General Tso's Chicken meal. Food is fresh with high quality ingredients. Also, reasonably priced and good portion sizes. I look forward to trying the other stuff on the menu. China Star gets 5 stars from me. read more

A great place to grab lunch. Their lunch specials are a good deal, you get a lot of food for the money and everything I have tried has been good. I normally order on line for take out and food is ready in about 10-15 minutes. Very friendly staff! read more

I used to go to China Star regularly for many years before my job moved. Disappointed to find out they changed the food for the worse. They used to have the best Kung Pao Chicken I've ever had. But now it's made with deep fried/breaded chicken rather than stir fried. Giant onion pieces and overly salted sauce and fried rice. I used to love the egg rolls but now they're mushy and seem to be mostly mushy cabbage. The employees are great and friendly. Restaurant is always very clean. There are a couple of tables but this is primarily for to go orders. read more

If I could give this place infinite stars, I would. This is the best Chinese food I've ever had (in the states). Would recommend

Very spotty consistency with there quality, I am a Egg Foo Young fanatic, Their Egg Foo Young is the Best around when they have the right amount of ingredients, but ounce in a while they Don't have enough of the vegetables and it turns out to be An Egg with Chicken in it. NOT GOOD! But it is a great place to eat! read more

This is a nice hidden gem. The food was fresh and the service was great. I love the sesame chicken! Will be back soon.

The food is always great, love in particular the mu shu chicken and general Tao tofu. Fantastic take-out spot!

My favorite place to get awesome Chinese food. Best shrimp dishes. Best chow Mein. These people are fast and large servings Take out only. read more

This USED to be our go-to for Chinese take away. It is a bit more expensive, but the quality WAS very good. This order was in the toilet. The egg rolls were good, but everything else was average Chinese- chewy chicken, tough chicken, etc. However, their inflated prices have remained the same. If you're looking for good Chinese, this is no longer the place on my list. read more

Not terrible. Living in Brainerd we can't get any decent Chinese food. Food use to be a lot better

Always a good value. Love that you get vegetables either dish of sesame chicken with broccoli.

I'm giving them a five because they are dependable, I know what I'm getting, portions are good and the food always tastes nice and fresh. It's comfort food. No need to break the mold. Consistency over the years delivering the Chinese food you want from a good little neighborhood place. read more

Fast service and good food. I like the kung Pao food and they give a good quantity too.

Nice family own Chinese place. They have great value lunch specials. The lady at the counter, who I think is the owner, is very nice and very friendly. read more

No surprises here, just affordable and tasty food! Nothing fancy but it's never let me down. We've eaten here once or twice a month for the last three years! I recommend the General Tsao's or the Orange Chicken. The owners are very nice. :) read more

Boyfriend and I moved to Crystal February 2015, and this has become our go-to Chinese takeout place. You'll find your standard Americanized Chinese food with above average execution. Food is quite tasty, value is good, and service is prompt/friendly. We just wish they delivered! My usual is sesame chicken and the boyfriend's is beef and broccoli, and both are excellent. China Star's beef and broccoli is the boyfriend's second favorite ever. Fried rice is usually really tasty, although last time it was flavorless - maybe because I was full when I tried it. Wontons are on the smaller side, but sweet - we really love them. read more

Go to spot for Chinese food. Love the sesame chicken and veggie delight. Also always have to add on cream cheese wontons. Love this place!

Me and my husband caught food poisoning from them two times we went there a second time cause it could have been something else but we confirmed it was them. read more

We have been ordering from China Star for over 5 years. They have never made a mistake and always greet us by name and ask about which ever family members aren't present to pick up. When my son comes in with me, they give him cookies. I really love this place and am always happy to give them our business. It's always busy but food pretty much takes about 15minutes from order to ready no matter what time you call. Sesame Chicken is our usual favorite. Kung Bo Chicken has peanuts and is spicier and also makes the A list. We order the beef lo mein and shrimp or veggie mei fun frequently. Fried dumplings are yummy. Shrimp with garlic sauce is very good. We always have a bottle of siracha on the table to spice everything up more when we get home. read more

I ordered take out and my order was ready in no time. The beef in the beef and broccoli was some of the most tender I've had. The sauce in the lemon sauce wasn't goopy so I was very happy. I don't recommend the chicken chow mein as the sauce was very gelatinous. Prices are great! read more

It's what you would expect from a small Chinese restaurant located in a strip mall. Nothing over the top special but also nothing wrong with it either. I have had the generals chicken when I need to satisfy my urge for Chinese food and don't feel like going to a sit down meal read more

My family has been regulars here for over 20 years, the food has never changed, it's always been good. The family that runs it is very sweet, and they are always super fast when you order. Their sesame chicken and wontons are to die for, and the portion sizes on the lunch and dinner combos are pretty nice for what you pay, half a box of entree, a huge scoop of rice and an egg roll or wontons, you can't beat it. read more

Nice little take out place, they have one or two tables if you really need to eat there (occasionally will see law enforcement eating at them, that's about it). I moved to Fridley and my Fiancee still makes me head over there for food as chinese by us is crap. I've never had bad food there and service is always friendly read more

I've been going to China Star since 1996. I really enjoy the place. The food is always fresh and well made. They pay attention to detail. Over the years I've pretty much narrowed down to my "regular" order, but everything is great. The mushroom fried rice is good, the hot & sour soup is really good. I always get ti chien noodles too, which are perfect. You can't find a better neighborhood Chinese restaurant in the area, in my opinion. read more

My go to place for Sesame Chicken. It is my fave! I have been going here for 14 years. Fast, Friendly and yummy.... My family comes to town and that is what they request to have every time! Thanks China Star for being so awesome! read more
