    Ridiculous amount of celery in the dish.
    Christine D.

    Eating at New Star in Rigby, Idaho was a real disappointment. The 'Pea Pod with Beef' I ordered was listed on the menu as also containing mushrooms and bamboo shoots. What came out was an unappetizing plate of celery, some beef, a few mushrooms and pea pods all soaked in a flavorless cornstarch slurry masquerading as sauce. See the pictures- clearly there was more celery than any other ingredient. When I brought this to the attention of the chef, who also seemed to be the owner, he was unapologetic and and actually said that nobody has ever complained about this in his 17 years of running New Star (Gaslight much??) He then said, "What do you want me to do?" I let him know that I was not willing to pay full price for a literal plate of celery and he begrudgingly agreed to take half off the price of my dish. If you're looking for good Chinese food, I'd suggest steering clear of this establishment. Your taste buds will thank you.

    Okay place to eat. My son had sweet and sour chicken lunch special, and I got the beef kung pow (I think). Might go back with the family some time.

    Beef lo mein is with flame grilled beef the flavor is awesome. Plenty of beef and lo mein noodles and veggies. My favorite dish here.

    Most local Chinese restaurants have at least one dish they do with excellence. New Star has good lemon chicken and mandarin chicken is good. However, the beef lo mien is truly excellent. The flavor is just dead on what you want with this dish. Then I don't know how but each small piece of beef has a char line on it where it was charred on the grill. This is what I would expect at a good PF Chang's or Cheesecake Factory. I usually get it to go because I can't eat the whole container in one sitting. This time I drove from Idaho Falls just to pick up one to go box of the beef lo mien. It was still super hot with heat when I got back to I.F..There is always a good distribution of meat to noodles and veggies to noodles and beef. I have never wished it had more meat and that is unusual for me I love my beef.

    This is standard "fast food" Chinese, but they do the genre well. Although not extremely authentic or original, it's still a pretty good Chinese restaurant for the area. I've eaten here several times, and the food has always been fresh and the servings generous. The waitresses are very attentive and quick to refill your drink. They have all the classic local lunch specials here (see below). One of my favorite dishes here is their Spicey Hot Diced Chicken. It's like classic Kung Pow Chicken, but with sliced almonds instead of peanuts. The sauce is robust and packs a punch. If you're really hungry, the Fung Wong Chicken will challenge you--deep fried chicken and ham, served with pineapple and a sweet and sour sauce--a delicious gut-busting meal. If you're familiar with Fong's in Rexburg, they are very similar. Their menus are suspiciously similar (lunch specials 1-5 are identical). Given the limited dining choices in Rigby, this is one of the better options for a sit down lunch or dinner.
