First Chop Suey

My family and I just moved to this area recently and we've been curious about if this place could…read morebe our new hole in the wall Chinese spot! With the recent storms, we decided to get the Dinner for 3 Family Meal delivered and ordered on the website. Listed at $41.99, you receive many items: 3 egg rolls, 3 crab rangoons, a large order of egg drop soup, large combination fried rice (chicken, medium sized shrimp, huge pieces of pork), small side of white rice, and 3 main entrees: large sweet and sour chicken, large garlic shrimp, and a large Mongolian beef. We also received some dried crispy noodles for garnish, 2 almond cookies, 4 fortune cookies, some soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce packets, 4 forks, but only one napkin! The food had good flavors and generous in size. For $41.99, with delivery fees, taxes, convenience fee, and tip, our order was $57.46. The Mongolian beef had a lot of onions as filler, but luckily we enjoy onions. It had a good kick of spice in the sauce and the beef was tender. The garlic shrimp also had too many vegetables, but the shrimps were a fair medium size, not the tiny sized shrimps! The combination fried rice was simple, could have used more flavor, but the pieces of pork, chicken, and shrimp were also large and plentiful! Everything came hot and fresh! I asked for the sweet and sour sauce on the side so the chicken could stay crispy. The chicken was classic - very light, fluffy, and airy, but some of the tinier pieces were on the tougher and drier side which is typical. Giving it a 4 stars because while the meat is large in size, too many vegetables are thrown in as filler. Next time, my family and I would love to dine in here and try the Cajun seafood boil. Ultimately, I think we found our new neighborhood Chinese spot! I hope the lunch specials are a decent size.

The seafood boil was good. Great service and the regular dishes on the menu are yummy, tooread more

But I just don't go traversing into Chinese restaurants with no prior vouching or endorsement from someone I know. Or at least I usually don't.... So I headed to NCW one Saturday and had a large shrimp fried rice and two shrimp eggrolls. The rice was just this side of being totally bland. Which is surprising given that they had sprouts, pods, scallions and a few of the other ingredients I find in the rice I like. But it had only the slightest hint of flavor. The shrimp were tiny and pink which suggested they were either boiled beforehand and added in or just weren't cooked long enough. I would guess the latter, especially since I had a few sections of rice that had were still white due to not being mixed with the soy sauce and fried long enough. Adding soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce helps, but good rice should stand on its on. This rice did not. As for the eggrolls? Meh. I don't know this to be the case, but the eggrolls felt like something a restaurant would order from a large supplier,and then fry them to order. I could be wrong, but I said that because in addition to the eggrolls being extremely bland, they had absolutely nothing colorful or distinctly flavorful within. It was fried perfectly, but had absolutely no punch or flavor, save for adding some sweet and sour sauce. All in All the food was underwhelming but passable. It didn't taste bad, the problem is it barely had any taste at all. The question is: would i order it again? Me thinks not. If I were in a remote town and this was like one of the two Chinese options then maybe. Problem is this is Chicago and you can't go more than a few miles or stoplights without passing a Chinese restaurant. A delicious one at that.

Even after moving 25 miles away, I still make my way back. Now I'm coming here for lunch with my mom, my daughter, and my grandkid. At this point, New Star has officially become a generational restaurant for our family! Over all these years, the service, food, and atmosphere have always been pleasant and welcoming. There's something special about being able to return to a restaurant you've enjoyed since childhood and now share it with the next generations of your family. I haven't tried the hibachi yet, but I've heard great things about it, so that's definitely on my list for a future visit. After more than four decades of memories, meals, and family visits, New Star continues to be a special place for us.

We were there for some Chinese food. They give you complimentary hot tea when you sit down. The service was ok at best. Nice inside not very big but it's clean and has some cozy booth type seats along with open table seating. We ordered some Jumbo shrimp fried rice, Singapore noodles, pad se eew and a sampler appetizer platter. The appetizer platter came with 2 egg rolls, 2 dumplings, 2 bbq ribs, 2 shrimp toast, 2 crab Rangoons & 2 fried shrimp. The egg rolls were fresh and full of meat!! Very crispy and delicious! 7/10 I didn't have the dumplings I don't care for them myself but my wife likes them she gave them a 6.7/0 she said she's had better. The Ribs had a nice bite and flavor to them just a tad tough for me. 6/10 The shrimp toast was my favorite of the appetizers the were crispy not greasy and the shrimp was definitely there. I enjoyed the flavor of them. 8/10 The crab Rangoon however were a disappointment to me. They were definitely missing the green onion and crab! lol. Mostly cream cheese but fried well 4/10. The fried shrimp were ok. Average 5/10 They give you a lot of food for your money! As all the dishes had a great amount of protein in them! They don't skimp on the meat at all. The jumbo shrimp fried rice a great flavor and nice texture. You can taste smokiness in it. 7.5/10 The Singapore Noodles was loaded with shrimp, chicken and bbq pork, egg and veggies. It had a kick to it from the curry very flavorful and the texture of the noodles were spot on! 7.5/10 the pad se eew was also loaded with beef! (You have the option of protein) the beef was very tender, the sauce had a nice spice level and the noodles were perfectly cooked. 8/10 all in all i would definitely recommend checking them out! My bill was a little over $63 and well worth it. I'm definitely returning to them. Remember ALL reviews are SUBJECTIVE
