Been coming since I was too g around 2015! I would say their food is so good and comes out fresh. Absolutely love their spareribs boneless which is perfect with a side of fried roasted pork rice. They also have complimentary hot tea which is perfect for any weather. There is plenty of seating inside and service is very quick. We ordered online and it was ready around 10-15 minutes. read more

See all

$30 order resulted in boneless spare ribs that were rehydrated beef jerky. Unedible. Mongolian beef that was nothing but stringy gristle. We took a few bites and returned both orders. Did not ask for refund, but related how we felt and said we would never return. read more

The taste of the food is not very good anymore. The last time I order fried rice. The rice was mushy and had a weird flavor.

Don't eat here!!‼ Got food through uber eats and half an hour after eating I got food poisoning, very upset with this place, idk how clean they are when preparing food. Beware!‼ read more

The food is decent,..better than a lot of nearby Chinese restaurants . Staff is fast,not very personable.I have nothing more to say,they want the space filled with more words,so that's what I'm going to do read more

Excellent food served quickly even though consistently and usually busy. Basic dining room and take out with reserved parking spots in the strip mall for pickups. read more

A complete letdown from start to finish and here is why. So, when I review take-out/Americanized Chinese restaurants I break everything down into three categories; fresh, price, reheated. If you get great food right out of the gate then price does not matter as much and 9 out of 10 times is just as enjoyable when reheated. If you get average food from jump street but the price is perfect for you then maybe 50/50 on the reheat. If you get horrible food on the front end with an over inflated price then 9 out of 10 times you won't even finish your leftovers (and this was what my wife and I ran into several weeks ago ordering take-out). The food was bland, over salted, some of it came at the proper cooked temperature and other parts didn't. The visuals alone were not appealing; she is a huge Chinese fan so when she goes sour on a place almost no chance of me enjoying my meal. Sorry, but this will forever be a hard pass for us! read more

China Star - 3. Spring Roll 143. Chicken with Mixed Vegetables 43. House Special Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Chicken wings, egg rolls, fried rice, Hunan Beef, and General Tao's. Wings and egg rolls were pretty good. Fried rice was more like microwave in a packet rice, beef was odd flavored and not like any Hunan Beef we've ever had. Tao's was slightly better. read more

Very tasty takeout American Chinese food. Delivered quickly to my hotel, good portion, good taste. 100% would order again if I am in the area. I had the moo goo gai pan, a shrimp egg roll, fried rice, and wonton soup. All delicious. read more

The service is very friendly and quick. It's not much of a sit down restaurant since it's a pretty small shop. The food was pretty mediocre but was still good enough to eat. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in town, only loses a star because there are better places. The hunan chicken is my favorite dish, but everything I've had there has been good. Service is to be expected from a family run Asian restaurant, that is to say it's not that great. Would definitely recommend read more

The Food here tastes horrible and they didn't even get my order right Disappointed as fuck read more

Love the fact they don't have peas and carrots in their fried rice. Reminds me of Chinese food from New York. I have been here multiple times and would recommend to anyone. read more

A regular here at china star. Favorite place to order chinese food. Great staff, never mess up my order. I have their number saved in my contacts that's how good of a place they are. read more

China Star - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Went to China Star in Spfld yesterday and I have to say it was the 2nd worst Chinese food I have got in Town......I usually go to China River in Chatham where I have been going over 20 years but decided to try China Star....BIG MISTAKE !!! I rated then one star because there was no 0 ......I live in Springfield, IL and it`s well worth the drive to Chatham for Chinese food.. read more

We've eaten at China Star since they opened. Lately, the food has been greasy, especially their egg rolls. You can squeeze the grease out of them. This past weekend, (3-9-24) we ate at China Star again. The sweet and sour pork we ordered was aweful. The pork had no pork inside, they tried to pass off fried dough balls as pork. We cut open the pieces, no pork, just dough. We spent over $60 total for all our meals. The other meals were good, probably won't order sweet and sour pork,again. read more

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite Chinese food in Springfield. I have never gotten anything bad from here. The egg rolls are a must have, the pork fried rice is .amazing. You won't regret it. read more

Just coming from NY so high standards for Chinese food. It was 8 / 10. Good flavor good spice. Not a fan of the tiny shrimp. Food was fresh and hot. Good everyday spot. read more

I have never had a problem. It makes me sick to hear about their issues. Most restaurants have problems we just are not aware. No I don't want bugs in my food and yet their food is constantly very good. read more

it's been a while since I had General Tso's from China Star. It was always wonderfu, flavorful. I got General Tso's for my Mom, husband and myself yesterday. the flavor of the whole dish including fried rice is different. New cook? I don't know what but we did not like the flavor of the dish. However, the restaurant looked very nice and clean. read more

Best Chinese in town! Always order the cheese wontons, they are like golden little cream cheese gems in mouth. Regular menu items I order are szechuan chicken, roasted pork egg foo young combo, hot & sour soup and egg rolls. Since China Star has so much business it has remodeled inside to better accommodate pick up orders during Covid 19. read more

Good for their lunch specials. Cant beat under 8 bucks with a drink for pretty decent Chinese food. Had pork egg foo young but it didn't come with an egg roll. Food came out super fast and was piping hot. read more

Starting to get real skimpy on portions and sauces while also raising prices . Still probably one of the best chineese food places in town

This our favorite Chinese place in Springfield and we usually try to hit it up once a week. The ingredients are very fresh and everything is made to order so don't come looking for a buffet. We saw them chopping up whole chickens one day and were convinced at how fresh everything is. I usually get the General Tso's chicken or the sesame chicken but I've tried almost everything on the menu and you can't go wrong. Free tea too...hot or iced. read more

I love this place! Their lunch specials are quite large and a great price. Food is fast and delicious every time.

This is a great little place. It seems like the average dive-type Chinese greasy spoon. It's not fancy but the food is good. I ordered a small Chicken Lo-mein which was plenty for a good lunch and it cost less than $5. I got in and out with my food in maybe 5 minutes or so and that was at quarter 'till 1 on a Wednesday. I don't eat tons of Chinese food, but this is among the best I've had and the lady at the counter was great. I'm going back for sure. Heck, I may not even be able to wait that long! I may go back tomorrow for lunch! read more

I've been to China Star a few times on the recommendation of a co-worker and enjoyed it every time. The food has been made fresh at the time you order. read more

My two friends and I went here when we were on a road trip. Me and my friend both got the orange chicken lunch and the chicken was more breading than actually chicken. The fried rice was good. My other friend got the huan beef with won ton soup. The beef was o.k., but the won ton soup was good. We are from Chicago, so we know good Chinese when we eat it and this place was alright. Happy Eating!!!!! read more

Five Stars for using great chicken in the dishes, white meat chicken not the greasy and cheap dark meat. We order from here once a week in the winter months, food and service are very good. Call ahead and pick up or order online and let them know when you want to pick up. My favorites are: chicken pad Thai; pork fried rice (not greasy!), chicken curry, beef chop suey, egg foo young, Mongolian beef, chicken and broccoli. I could eat here everyday and never tire of the good food that is served! read more

This is a tasty quick go to and really close to my home. They are always super fast and the food is good for the prices they charge. No major complaints, if the restaurant was a little better set up i would probably give a full 5 stars. If you want a quick tasty chinese take out with LOADS of options this is a good choice!!+ read more

Fast service, with good food. I enjoyed the big portions and the spice level on the general chicken was perfect for someone who likes a little kick without destroying your taste buds. The fried rice was good with a good ratio of meat and veggies to rice. Enjoyed this meal will eat here again soon. read more

This is the first restaurant that I ate in when I moved to Springfield four years ago. I have probably eaten here more than 30+ times since I've been living in this town. It is consistently delicious and fresh. I'm a pretty healthy eater, and I'm pretty picky. The food here is ALWAYS great. Without a doubt it is the best Chinese food in Springfield. I highly recommend China Star and I'm a long time customer (4 years). read more

So delicious and greasy! Best vegetarian Chinese in town, and the only place that gets it right. They don't question you for 10 minutes on why you didn't order chicken. "You want tofu? You don't want meat?" Never here. Bean Curd Lo Mein and Sesame Bean Curd are my faves. read more

The best place in the city. Hands down. And they're serving Thai food now! Say what? I love this place. Amazing food every time.

The food is decent as far as Chinese take out food is concerned. There's nothing exceptionally special about this place but a simple go to when you need a quick take our meal. read more

Ate there once and egg roll was not hot. Solid cold all the way through. I will not be back.

BEWARE: HUSBAND GOT FOOD POISONING FROM THIS FOOD. If I could give this a negative star I would. My husband got food from this restaurant and he ordered: chicken fried rice, plain, crab Rangoon and general Tso chicken. The rice was very disgusting and the chicken tasted like cold cuts from the fridge. The crab Rangoon tasted old like it has been re-fried. The inside tasted old and there was barely any crab in it. The General Tso Chicken tasted old- no seasoning with undercooked vegetables. Overall worst food he's ever tasted (husband doesn't have Yelp app). read more

China Star is ALWAYS the same! I love consistency. The place is a cafeteria style dining area (a bunch of tables crowded in one room) but the food is good. I prefer General Tso or Sesame Chicken. YUM. Caution: their English is not very good so you have to speak clearly and may need to repeat yourself. read more

A good place for some hot and spicy stuff amid drive. Taste was good but quality would have been better, it was not bad though, missing that professional touch. read more

Yesterday I got a takeout lunch order of mixed vegetables (we live 20 miles from the restaurant) with tofu with lo mein noodles. The tofu was hardly cooked and the only vegetables that were eatable were the snap peas and broccoli. The lo mein noodles were good though-so I ate just the noodles, peas, and broccoli-I threw out the rest. I called today to see if they would make things right and they told me the only thing that they could do was if I brought the food back and they could refund me. Sorry, but to drive 20 miles to get a refund is not sufficient customer service for me. We have ordered from China Star MULTIPLE times and NEVER had this happen-but now I may have to find another Chinese restaurant to frequent. read more
