We tried this place over 20 years ago when we moved to the area and we were underwhelmed. Over the…read moreyears we tried the pho and spring rolls and they were good! We get them on a regular basis. Finally, we were craving Chinese/Vietnamese food and we decided to try it again. We had the green beans, the veggie fried rice, crab Rangoon, hot braised chicken, and Mi Xao Dun. All were a delight. The food was plentiful and of a higher quality than I have been able to find for a long time! The food was hot, fresh, a great amount for the price and course the proprietor, Kelly, is awesome. I see much more Chinese food in our future.

Food is always fresh. We do carry out and especially love the green beans. Just ordered our dinner…read morefor tonight.

It has curry in it, just in case you're not into that. We had pork chow mein and the slabs of pork were great! Big chunks. Dark fried rice, St. Paul Sammy, pork egg rolls cooked to a perfect crisp. I really have 0 complaints. Everything was above average. This isn't 3 Michelins stars kind of good, but it's 5 Stars on Yelp good. I'm hard of hearing so I needed my wife to help hear the woman behind the counter. She was great! Very helpful and even threw an extra bag of crab Rangoon. What she didn't know is that's my wife's favorite and it was her birthday dinner. She just wanted Chinese take out from a new place. So off to Star we went and they couldn't have done it any better. I'm so glad we went and will definitely be back. Now... ambiance is EXACTLY what you'd want from a take out Chinese place. The door bell is perfect and you'll understand when you go! Just embrace it. They do! All in all, 5 China Stars, will return. Enjoy!

Curry chicken was great! Lots of chicken, could have used a few more pea pods, but nice and spicy, crisp veggies, really good. The chicken fried rice had a lot of chicken but was a little bland. Still good. I will get this again.

A cozy place which is located on White Hall's bustling Main St. The storefront looked so inviting, with the fun decorations and a cute panda bear on the sign. Why wouldn't you want to check this place out? As my mother and I entered the first door, we found ourselves in a little foyer where we were given a little preview of the delicious scents that filled the entire place beyond the second door. As we walked though that second door, we found ourselves in the dining area. Our mouths watering, we made our way to the counter to order where we were greeted with a friendly smile. Our order was taken, we got our drinks, and sat down. We had our choice between table and chairs or booths and we, of course, chose the booths. Fantastic choice! The seats were so comfortable and we didn't feel like we were pushed right up against the table, like you might feel in booths if you are a bigger person. The dining area was smaller than most Chinese restaurants that I've eaten at, but the feel of the place; the cozy, family feel made me forget the size. Our food was delivered to our table very quickly and it was so delicious. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and was very aware of the large portion that I was given. (I definitely had some left overs.) everything tasted delicious! My fried rice was cooked to perfection, so much that I didn't feel like I had to drown it in sweet and sour sauce to enjoy it. And the chicken was crispy and flavorful. (I forgot to take my sauce with me for my left overs, but it really didn't matter... the chicken by itself was scrumptious!) My mom had gotten their orange chicken and pan noodles, this is something she gets every single time she eats here. She said that the chicken is always so yummy and she can't ever get enough of those noodles. After my mother and I filled up our now happy stomachs, we got a few kids for our containers, packed up, and headed for the door. We were then met with thank you's, goodbyes, and come agains. I loved my experience at this place and I can't wait to go back!

The staff here is always really nice. I already know I do not like anything else on the menu- from rice and noodles to egg roll and dessert, and every other entree, not so great.

They had some very nice pieces of Asian Art all throughout the place. The food was great. The presentation was exceptional. The soup was delicious. The spring rolls were delicious. The heavenly beef was very good. It was some type of beef jerky. The pad Thai rice was good with just enough spice. I asked for a 2 for the spice level. The customer service was great.

It kind of makes it a hidden treasure and I'm glad that I found it. My visit was during a Saturday lunch and I was impressed. I started my meal with Fried Spring Rolls filled with vegetables and served Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. They were a thin crisp shell, that still gave a nice crunch when bitten into. The sauce was a accompaniment. For an entree I chose, Drunken Noodles and added Beef for my protein. I was torn between Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodle and when I asked my server, she said their most popular dish was Drunken Noodles. Then when I went to add my protein it was between chicken and beef. She said beef was her favorite add, so I went with her recommendation. Once my entree arrived to the table I was surprised by its size. It was huge. It was so big, it could have been a meal for two. Guess who had leftovers for lunch the next day. The noodles were flavorful and lots of tender beef and had plenty of veggies. My spice level was 3 out of 5 and I still was sweating along my hairline. Next visit I may have to scale back to a two. The service was attentive and the young lady who was my server, had a bubbly personality. I also had a young man who brought me my order, checked on me and I wasn't even his table. Now that I have found this hidden treasure, I will definitely be back. When: March 7, 2026 Why: Lunch

We tried a variety of items so I will list them and describe as I go: Crab Rangoon - fairly decent wasn't super hot Spring Roll - gooey in the center Egg Roll - sour tasting Sweet & Sour Chicken - Chicken was very dry Green Beans - no flavor Cheese Mushroom - awesome!! Great cream cheese filling very flavorful Chicken w/ broccoli - had a bit of flavor but very bland Mushrooms - very little flavor Sushi - the "fish" looked brown so I avoided it There were noodles on the floor where we were sitting and there was a can of condensed milk on the buffet open with a spoon in it ??
