I've eaten here about 5 times and the food has been consistently good. The General Tso's is my go to dish and theirs might be the spiciest general tsos I've ever had but it's really good! I don't have any real negatives to point out.. I read more

They always go above and beyond and very nice! Food is the best in the area as well! My go to spot!

Á la Christmas Story, went for Chinese food on Christmas Day due to not being able to travel to our normal family dinner. The place was notably busy and they seemed prepared. We did carry out; do note that there is not much (none) seating at this restaurant. I ordered General Tsos, chicken with broccoli, and broccoli in garlic. All dishes tasted good and were ready within the 25 minutes that they quoted upon ordering. Prices were also reasonable; I felt like we got a ton of food for less than $50 for a family of four. Would definitely go back here. read more

Always good, best spot in the valley. Delivery service is always fast. And the food shows up hot and fresh

The best Chinese restaurant I've been to that has the best chicken and broccoli an awesome vegetable spring rolls plus you can buy fortune cookies. I will make a detour off route 78 any time to eat their food. They do keep you safe from Covid but I didn't like the plastic forks being available to be touched by anyone read more

New Star - a bowl of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Hellertown, Pennsylvania

Ordered delivery on 9/27/21. Everything had a strange bitter and slightly sour aftertaste. Must be a chemical they use or in the ingredients they use, but it's absolutely disgusting. I have never experienced this type of taste in Chinese food before. Food seemed fresh and looked good, so it's a shame. The whole order went straight into the trash. I'd give this place zero stars if I could. It was so bad that I wished I'd gotten frozen Chinese food from the frozen aisle at the grocery store instead. read more

ALWAYS go out of their way to provide us with great service and food! we love going here and they treat us like family! highly recommend!

I Love this place... I usually call for delivery. The person who takes my orders is very friendly, the food is delicious and hot by the time it's delivered to me, I highly recommend New Star for friendliness, fast delivery and delicious food. read more

Absolutely the best Chinese takeout in Hellertown! Everybody here is incredibly nice and the food is outstanding. After being dissapointed by their competitor "China Moon", New Star more than exceeded our expectations. I will return to come back, and so should you! read more

My partner and I split two vegetarian meals, and we were THRILLED. In my experience, Chinese food places tend to be bizarrely skimpy with tofu, but this place gave us plenty! (And it was prepared deliciously). If you want cheap, yummy Chinese food, you're in the right place! (Also the food was ready and hot in ten minutes, and the cashier was super kind. We will definitely become regulars!) read more

Great take away food. Quick, friendly, always correct orders. Friendly family owners too read more

I typically order from this place, one time I decided to get take out. When I got there the place was pretty much a hole in the wall. After watching them prepare my food and leaving with it, I could not even eat it when I got home. Everything looked like a huge blob of processed, not fresh, unhealthy food in their kitchen.There was no smell at all. Btw, you could see right in the kitchen. The chicken didn't even look like chicken, it was pre fried, in a huge basin, and unidentifiable. I stood there amazed and vowed never to return or order. read more

Go to Chinese Restaurant in town. Owner smiles when I walk in and the order is always right. Food wise, the food hits the spot. Standard Chinese take out food so not much variety. Food tastes good. Important takeaways though, Never became sick from the food Restaurant is clean and welcoming Plenty of parking in the shopping mall read more

Our go to Chinese restaurant. Top notch food

This really is my favorite Chinese food. It's always been my go to, and I've been trying a new dish every time I order. Today when I ordered I asked if a dish had oyster sauce, and was told no. They called me back but I missed the call. When my husband went to pick the food up they told him two other things we ordered had it and they were concerned if I was allergic. Then they promptly told him they could make everything without it and remade the other dishes. This is above and beyond customer service, they didn't even know I was allergic and they were attentive enough to inform us. I'm so happy to have them in our community and am so grateful for their amazing dedication to their customers. read more

I'm not quite sure how this place get anything but one star. I'm not sure who else in here that gave it a four star review. I will tell you it is probably adequate as take-out Chinese for anyone who does not know what good Chinese food taste like. This place is in a dying strip mall. I had wonton soup and shrimp and lobster sauce. The wontons were hard and I have no idea what kind of meat was inside. there was excessive use of pepper on the shrimp and lobster sauce to give this tasteless dish some flavor. No fortune cookie with the meal. This was my first time I've ever been to a Chinese restaurant where I wasn't given a fortune cookie. read more

See all

My go to Chinese place in the area. The food and service are always good. I usually get the sweet and sour chicken combo platter and it is always excellent although everything else I've tried here has been as well. Never had a bad experience here and will continue to come here into the foreseeable future. Highly recommend. read more

The best Chinese restaurant in Hellertown. Food always great. Besides the food the Chi Family are wonderful people. They are hard working and super nice. Tom Moulder ( Tom the Mailman) read more

I've traved all over the country and hands down New Star is the best Chinese carry out or eat in place ! My favorite is their house special fried rice. I even ask for special order and it's never a problem! Thanks New Star your the best! Cindy E. read more

This is my go to Chinese take out restaurant. Their general tso's chicken is on point every time and they have a wonderful beef lo mein. I also mix it up each time and try a new dish that has yet to disappoint. This little hole in the wall is family owned and run; each family member works hard to run a successful restaurant. The order is always prepared on time, the staff is delightful, and the food is superb. read more

Yuck. What else can I say. Terrible greasy rice, orders are wrong, overcooked crab ragoons. I will not return.

Late night at work and craving Chinese food.... I was feeling boring and ordered beef and broccoli. I also added an order of steamed dumplings. The beef and broccoli was pretty good, but I took one bite of the dumpling and had to spit it out. I don't think I've ever eaten rotten meat before, but I'm pretty sure I did that night. Between the smell and the taste, I don't think anyone would be able to stomach it. Absolutely horrifying. I don't know if I'll be returning anytime soon. read more

Our order couldn't have been any simpler, a pork egg roll, chicken chow mein, and shrimp lo mein. Somehow they managed to get the Lo Mein right, but they gave my girlfriend Udon with Chicken that has something that resembles a chicken foot sitting on top. Looked so disgusting that she lost her appetite and doesn't even wanna touch it, and I don't blame her. Definitely gonna have to find a new Chinese restaurant to order from. read more

New Star is without a doubt above average carry out Chinese. They prepare most of the food from scratch. Most places open a bag and throw it in the wok. Not here, I recommend New Star highly if you enjoy Chinese food. read more

Thought i would give this place a try again, when we got our food the time was good, but the food was greasy. The egg rolls had my hands saturated in grease, the general tso chicken did not taste how it should have, and the pork fried rice had the spoon covered with grease.....one thing that i do know is Chinese food should not be greasy read more

Small take out place but great food, always fresh and great flavors. The owners and help are very nice. For a strip mall take out joint, they are suprisingly excellent. read more

We have given too many chances to New Star. They do NOT pay attention to orders. They are on a losing streak of errors. They are pathetically ambivalent to the problems. Go anywhere else but here. read more

I live 5 minutes away and they called me a white boy and refused to deliver to me. I find offensive and ridiculous. 1/10 would not eats again. read more

Was super hungry while traveling so I thought I's give it a try. I regret the decision so much. I ordered my go-to general's chicken, and the chicken was not appealing visually and was not flavorful read more

New Star in Hellertown, PA, is hands-down the ***WORST **** experience I have ever had at any restaurant!! With what I just experienced from a staff member, I would classify it as absolutely ***horrific! **** They are VERY unprofessional, and with that kind of attitude, frankly have NO business being in a customer service-oriented profession. Furthermore, the food was disgusting, end-of-the-day "spare parts" type of food, and it was so fried and dried out, I couldn't eat it. It made my physically sick to my stomach from what little bit I did eat. I have had bad experiences at restaurants, as well as other various places, the same as any person has had. And while some people are prone to write reviews as a result of these bad experiences, I am NOT someone who has ever written a restaurant review --- This is, in fact, the first of my entire life. As a "water under the bridge" type of person, I don't sweat the small stuff. However, the two women I just spoke to on the phone, after receiving a bad order of food from them, were by far the most unprofessional people I have ever encountered in any business and/or restaurant. I WAS a regular customer of this restaurant. Their food has always been mediocre at best, but I am a VERY busy full-time student, with a full-time job, and work about 15 hours a day, going straight from work to class, with barely minutes to spare. Thus, I have ordered from them several times because they are convenient for someone with a very hectic schedule who has literally no free time. On one of the more recent occasions, I placed an order with New Star, and the woman charged my credit card two times. When I tried to talk to her about it, she was extremely rude and combative. I heard her talking "crap" on me in the background because the delivery guy who used his phone to call her while at my front door handed me his phone to speak with her. When he handed me the phone, she was still mid-conversation with someone else, and didn't realize I was on the phone while she was talking badly about me.. The reason the delivery guy had to call her was because she forgot to include my credit card payment/receipt on his delivery slip, so he needed to verify that it was paid before leaving the food; which, was fine. When I spoke to her, I didn't mention that I heard her, but did tell her that she definitely charged me already. She refused to accept this, and charged me again. I checked my credit card statement, and saw that she did in fact charge me twice. Even despite this horrible behavior, I decided to give them one more chance and order from them again this past Monday. I ordered the food just an hour before they closed, and had it delivered. Upon delivery, I was full-on engulfed in my studies, so did not open the food until about 30 minutes after delivery. The dish I ordered was one I always order, but it was absolutely disgusting, and seemed to be a mish-mash of what they had left over at the end of the night. The chicken was so dried out, I couldn't eat it and threw it out. What little bit I did eat, made me physically sick. I just called - a mere 24 hours later - to tell this lady about the issue with my food. Rather than listen to me, the staff passed me around to various people, and MADE ME BREAK DOWN, AND DEFEND, TO THE EXTENT OF BEING CALLED A LIAR, EVERY SECOND OF MY SCHEDULE!!! Even though I am a regular customer, she said that I cannot call 24 hours later to report the food. I tried to explain to her that by the time I opened the food, they were closed, and that the next day, I began work at 8am, and ended class at 10pm, with absolutely NO break (not even an hour break!). She continued to make me break down hour-by-hour what I did that day, which I found unbelievable! At every turn, she argued and said (VERBATIM!): "Oh Im sure you could have found 30 seconds of your day to call here to tell us the food was bad". I didn't even know how to respond to something like this! I'm not sure what kind of life she has, but people like me who are full-time students and workers literally do not have 30 seconds of the day. And more importantly, I only called 24 Hours later ! I could understand if I waited 5 days or a week, then I wouldn't expect anything. But as a regular customer, and as only 24 hours time passed, replacing the food shouldn't have been an issue. More importantly, I should NOT have to provide a minute-by-minute break-down of my schedule of my day! If a customer calls and reports bad food, the restaurant should trust that this is true. The customer should not be attacked and called a liar. Especially when they are a regular customer of that restaurant. Lastly, I have no reason to lie about the food being bad... And I have never called them to complain before. I would NOT go to this restaurant, the food is bad, and so is the staff's attitude. read more
