As they are closed on the day of the week I usually would travel this way (Tuesday) I've been meaning to try them but haven't had the opportunity. I was pleased that it was worth the visit. There is a large interior but they informed me that they only use it for waiting for your take out. They were nice enough to let me eat a few bites while seated. Speaking of, the people here are indeed quite friendly. Food tried: Wonton soup, crab rangoons, chicken fingers, scallion pancakes, boneless ribs, pork fried rice, beef and broccoli, and lemon chicken. The wonton soup, scallion pancakes, fried rice, and beef and broccoli all had good flavor. The fingers and ribs were meaty and cooked just right so they weren't dry or chewy. Unfortunately not all the food was that great. The crab rangoons were just cream cheese wontons. Crispy but no flavor. The lemon chicken had the sauce come separately from the chicken, and when it was delivered I thought it was another soup. That is how watery it was, and the flavor was similarly watery. While the hunt for good crab rangoons continues, the majority of the food, plus the people, makes this a good choice for your American Chinese food desires. read more

Me and my partner recently ordered take out from here the other day. I wouldn't say it was bad but it definitely wasn't very good. Everything tasted a little cheap and not made correctly, unfortunately we were also missing our crab Rangoon which was a bummer considering the amount of money we paid here. I will have to say the pork fried rice was good read more

An unassuming place but really good food in pretty good size portions. Don't let your stomach do the ordering- you'll order so much food you won't know what to do with it all. I ordered online and it was ready in 15 minutes. I've been here before and will continue to eat there. read more

Ordered takeout. Got the lunch special chicken chow mein. I get my order and it's all vegetables with the chicken on top of the fried rice. I called to let them know there wasn't noodles on my dish and the gentleman said chow mein is simply the vegetables, but traditionally chow mein DOES include stir fried noodles with the vegetables. Chinese restaurants in the New England area all make their Chinese dishes so differently. The vegetables were soggy and slimy, had to throw it all away unfortunately. The rice would have been salvaged if it wasn't soaked with the vegetable "juice." This is not a traditional Chinese restaurant. read more

Yes. Everything was great. Accurate order great tasting and superfast family owned started with making my online order and then figured it'd be easier to call in guess what much easier to call in and the lady was so pleasant to help us. Thank you and kudos to you guys. read more

For me this place is all about the mini pupu platter "B." I visited this place twice in less than a week because I loved the pupu platter so much. (I also had mu shu pork on my first visit, which I recommend skipping.) Anyway, I really appreciate that everything is fried fresh. My favorite would be the large egg rolls with the chicken wings coming in close second. The beef stick is also quite good with seasonings resembling pork char siu. Skip the main entrées and go for the pupu platter! read more

Do not eat here. I have never been treated so disrespectfully as a customer in my entire life. They had messed up our order of 70$, I went back in, said it was probably no ones fault and due to bad reception, then was interrupted rudely several times while trying to explain as the employee kept repeating "let me talk, let me talk, let me talk" and when I finally just give up trying to speak he then proceeds to blame me with an attitude. I never asked for a replacement, nor free food, I simply asked to place an order and pay for what was missing, and was treated with nothing but hostility. The employee then proceeds to call me a "d1ck". I then say I just spent near 100$ in food, there is no reason you need to treat me this way. Employee then proceeds to call me dumb and a liar about spending 100$, first order they messed up was 68$, second was 23$ for the food I payed for that THEY messed up. I then ask to talk to the manager, and the employee smirks and snickers rudely saying "my mother? Like she will care, she owns the place". I then ask to just cancel my second order and tell him I refuse to spend anymore money after being treated so awful. He then calls me dumb again and says I must not know how to read because it says all sales final on the receipt that he never even handed me because he was more worried about calling me names and using obscene language then providing me with simple food service. I then have had it at this point, and tell him I will then just put in a complaint to the BBB and the employee then goes fine, I'll cancel the f****** order. and proceeds to heave his hand towards me with the void receipt in hand. Everything about this interaction made me completely uncomfortable and I felt threatened the whole time. I worked in food service for a few years, and even after dealing with the most unsavory of people, I never once could have acted in a manner such as this employee did. It was completely uncalled for, and I will be making sure to let everyone know about my experience here. read more

if you don't eat pork this is not a good place to eat as they do not care if you eat pork or not they are definitely not halal. The service was basic. read more

Located in the Big Y Plaza, off I-395 Exit 87, New Hong Kong Star is a casual Chinese restaurant and bar, which offers takeout and full service dining in the comfortable dining room. They offer the standard Chinese dishes and chef's suggestions including Szechuan shrimp, Dragon & Phoenix, Fuji Duck, Chicken & Shrimp Thai Style, and more. Tom Yum Soup (Thai style) and Cold Sesame Noodle are also offered. The prices are reasonable. 28 Daily Lunch Specials ($5.35 plus tax) served with pork fried rice & choice of soup are offered. 29 Combination Platters ($7.95-$8.55) served with pork fried rice & egg roll are also offered. 4 kinds of Mini Pu Pu Platters ($9.25-$9.45) are offered and add a pint of pork fried rice for $1 more. The "bigger" Pu Pu Platter for 2 served with pork fried rice is $15.50. I picked up lunch from New Hong Kong Star recently and ordered the Lunch Special 14 Shrimp Lo Mein ($5.35 plus tax) served with Pork Fried Rice and Hot & Sour Soup. The good sized lunch portion was served in a sectioned container (keeps the main dish & fried rice separate). The lo mein dish had a mix of sprouts, onions, scallions, fresh sliced mushrooms, cabbage, and tender shrimp. The shrimp seemed not devained, but surprisingly all were clean to eat. The fried rice had tender roast pork cubes, peas, & onions in firm golden rice. The hot & sour soup had a medium spicy taste, which had eggs, tofu, shitake mushrooms, bamboo, seaweed, scallions, pepper, and pork. Overall, the lo mein and fried rice were pretty good and the hot & sour soup was exceptionally good. read more

I stopped here on my way home from the beach. It's a perfect halfway point and located just off of 395 in Plainfield, CT next to the Big Y. When we arrived we were the only customers. We were seated in one of the circa 1990 booths that looks as though it hadn't gotten a good cleaning in a while and already on the table were some fried snacks and duck sauce. After looking at the cleanliness of the booth I opted to pass on the complimentary table offerings. A few moments later our waitress came to the table and we ordered General Tao's combo with crab rangoon's and fried rice. Within about 5 minutes our meals arrive but unfortunately they were spare ribs and not General Tao's. She apologized indicating she must have written the wrong letter down. 2 minutes later our meals reemerged. The crab rangoon's were over cooked and had too little filling to be satisfying. The rice was clearly a reheat and the General Tao's was bland and uninspired. While we ate their staff of three sat in a booth by the kitchen and all watched us eat. It was a bit weird and creepy. Perhaps I expect too much from a shopping mall Chinese restaurant but next time I'll try a different place. read more

I went by the reviews I saw and figured I couldn't go wrong with this place. I should have just taken the $50 bill I spent and chewed on that for dinner. A pu pu platter, Beef chow fun, beef fried rice and wonton soup. The chow fun noodles were sooo over cooked and mushy, I couldn't tell they were noodles. The rice tasted like it had been made days ago, the chicken wings were very strange looking, and the beef in the chow fun AND the rice tasted like they had been boiled first and then put in the dish. Simply said, I will NOT be back. read more

New Hong Kong Star - Chinese Near Me - Plainfield, Connecticut

Somewhat more convivial than spending Christmas with my own family, for the second time that day, I spent time with a nice Chinese family who were nice enough to open their financial home for my friends and I. We found this Christmas "Star" after we sadly discovered that rural McDonald's that hire mostly white people don't stay open on holidays. Hong Kong Star has clean itself up a little bit since I last visited a decade or so ago. When we arrived, we were greeted by a dozen or so other fellow Christmas sojourners as well as the aforementioned family. Having a Chinese-American from New York in our party, her boyfriend and I wanted to show her how we do Chinese in Whitesville. I ordered a pupu platter for sustenance and a scorpion bowl cocktail for fun. The platter had big East coast egg rolls, chicken fingers, and teriyaki skewers, and that's really all I ask for when in a Chinese joint that doesn't necessarily serve actual Chinese food. The scorpion bowl, on the other hand, could have used more scorpions. We were also presented with some free entertainment in the form of the Chinese family calling the local police on a drunk older couple who were being rowdy. Yay for Christmas in rural America! Summary: Star of wonder, star of night, star of cheap Chinese food bright. read more

The food is ok. I recommend veggie egg rolls & crab rangoon. Priced nicely. I do only take out & here's the warning - check your order before you leave! They will correct it! read more

I love their food a lot but the last time my mom and I went there they were awful. My mom ordered beef and broccoli and the meat was gray and pale and did not taste like beef. My mom went there to have them either remake it correctly or give her her money back. They remade it and it was still gray. When my mom refused to accept it and asked for a refund the manager there was very rude. She tried to force my mom into trying to food in front of her and walked away when my mom refused. I love their food but I will not be going back their. read more

I've been ordering take out meals/quick bites from here for years, and it's finally about time that I write a review. This is a family-owned restaurant conveniently located off the highway, that serves consistent quality food and provides attentive service. Ok let's be honest, they make the chicken crispy and done right here! They know how to preserve the juiciness and crispiness by serving the sauce on the side. Ingenious, dare I say. Such a simple yet elusive concept to so many (glazed) fried food joints. So far I haven't had any complaint with this restaurant, and Ill continue to support. read more

New Hong Kong Star - So much food that I saved half for the next day. Always a delight! - Chinese Near Me - Plainfield, Connecticut

Pretty good food and great service. We were staying in town for surprise 50th birthday party and stopped for bite and scorpion bowls. We got two pu pu platters, some other apps and scorpion bowls. Inside is on smaller side but clean and adequate. The female owner runs around like the energizer bunny and doesn't stop . The food was very good, beef teriyaki was tasty and tender and the ribs were fantastic! We were a bit loud but they were great sports and Mike & Mike waiters were fantastic.!! Would definitely go back if in the area. Very good food, reasonable prices and service was phenomenal. read more

I have given this restaurant a second chance and I'm glad I did it's like night and day compared to my first visit. The food was excellent as well as the service. I have gone there many more times and it's always five stars. read more

I loved the old Hong Kong Star from many years ago but since the original owners sold, I no longer had and interest. Recently, I decided to give the new owner the benefit of the doubt so I placed an order. They are currently doing take-out only. When I walked into the establishment I noticed that they were in the process of sweeping the floor but left the pile of dirt to do other duties. Since the dining room is not open, there is not much to discuss concerning the overall cleanliness. I ordered PuPu Platter C and a combo lunch of Hot and Spicey Chicken with Fried Rice and Wonton Soup. The first thing I noted was that the broth in the soup had a strange aftertaste that had nothing to do with the umami flavor of chicken broth and Chinese seasonings and the wonton dumplings were gummy. I am not a fan of crab Rangoon to begin with but these were so over cooked and inedible that I hesitated to eat the other components. The chicken fingers were good but I did not care for the preparation of the fantail shrimp. The shrimp were also overdone. The fried rice was stale tasting and missed many components that are generally included in a freshly made fried rice dish. The hot and spicey chicken had just the right amount of heat and plenty of dried pepper. The disappointment in the dish had to do with the overabundance of green peppers that had been par boiled before being included in the dish. The peppers were over cooked and almost slimy. There were too many disappointments in this order so I will not return. read more

We have been coming here whenever possible for the last 20 plus years. Always great food and quick service.

My favorite Chinese place around the area. The Tom Yum soup is spicy and filling. I'm never disappointed whether dining in or taking out. If you stay, have a fabulous tiki style drink. They are strong, so beware!! They have all the basic Chinese cuisine, and they do it well, but give the Chef's specialties portion of the menu a try. They're delicious. read more

I went to this place for a nice Chinese lunch and the food was terrible along with the service I wait over an hour for the check!

The food is good! The problem I have is their occasional lack of conscientiousness in writing down my order properly (or at all) such that I get there to pick up dinner after a long day, for instance, and it wasn't put in, is incomplete, or was altogether wrong. That said, I want to emphasize how good I think the food is! read more

I go here all the time. I usually get beef teriyaki as an appetizer, and Beef and Broccoli with sticky rice for my meal. Let me tell you, it is delicious!!!! I also like their seating, the booths are "loose" you're not all tight,you have plenty of room to move around. Everything is great about this place,except for one thing...sometimes they might stair at you a little bit while you're eating. It makes you feel a little uncomfortable. But besides that,their food is excellent,and they're are clean, & it's a great place for for you,your friends,or your family to eat at. I would have to say,it's one of my favorite Chinese restaurants I've been to. I definitely recommend going to Hong Kong Star if you have never been. It's great!!! read more

I ate here with family,Feb.2012.The food was excellent.The service was ok.My scorpion bowl was superb.Under 50.00 for 3,tip included.Will eat here again. read more

By far the best Chinese food I've had in a while, and by far the best Chinese in the area. I came here with my wife and everything about it was amazing. I got the sesame chicken and she got the pork egg foo young. The food was so fresh and the service was also above and beyond. The second time I cam back I was reluctant on trying something new after how good the sesame chicken, but I got the chicken and shrimp thai style and it's hard to say which one I liked more. Overall 100/100. Will be a regular here. read more

Recently, I moved to Madison, CT from RI. It's important to keep in touch with my best friend, so we have been choosing to meet at a restaurant, at least once a month, that is halfway between us. So by chance, I looked at a map and searched Plainfield, and, lucky for us, we found an amazing jewel of a restaurant!!! Hong Kong Star Restaurant is such a wonderful place to have lunch or dinner in every way. The main point is that the food is absolutely delicious and fresh, with abundant portions. My latest outing there was yesterday, when I enjoyed the Moo Goo Gai Pan. The large amount of chicken breast, combined with all fresh vegetables, tasted delightful. Personally, I like extra onions in my fried rice, and their fried rice is the best I've ever tasted! Wonton soup, chicken wings, all so fresh and delicious!! The service is excellent too. A beautiful young server was so polite and very prompt with any requests. While my friend and I were catching up, I was eating very slowly because I was taking so much!! A young man (I believe the owner) came over to make sure everything was fine!! They are very aware of their customers needs and totally aim to please. The prices are very reasonable too. Very clean and pleasant surroundings, along with the the BEST Chinese food both my friend and I have ever tasted, make it a sure bet that this is the place we will be going to every month. And between those times, I plan on taking my husband there to enjoy the delicious food, excellent service, and nice atmosphere, very often! TOTALLY RECOMMEND HONG KONG STAR RESTAURANT!!!! read more
