For me, a #roadtrip find right next to my little Red Roof Inn while visiting Louisville for an event. 5/22/21 -- they're only doing takeout, which was fine with me since I was traveling with my dog & don't want to leave him alone. I ordered a pint of hot & sour soup, and the House Special Chow Mei Fun -- which is the skinny rice noodles (not the fatter wheat flour noodles of lo mein.) The container was packed and had plenty of shrimp, chicken, pork, etc. That and my soup were both piping hot. I did use a few packets of their hot sauce on the noodles, which added a little flavor kick that I prefer. The hot & sour soup had nice mushrooms, tofu & scallions. My entree was $9.75 and the pint of soup $3.25, so I felt this was a very good value. A bottle of diet coke was $2.19. #yum #ReviewsByRL read more

This is me and my parents go to Chinese food restaurant for over 26 yrs. Such a stable in the house that my wife and the kids made it our family go to for the past 22 yrs. Trust me you will not pick a bad dish! read more

We often order for carry out here. The food is really good. Best hot and sour soup I have had ! The prices are reasonable, and the service is fast. The dining area needs work- but take out is the way to go here. Small staff, food is made to order. Definitely worth trying. read more

So I recently moved to the highlands and have heard about this place and got it once! So I had some friends over for the Bachelorette premiere and ordered a lot of takeout from Oriental Star. It did not disappoint!! Everyone loved it and we had leftovers. I didn't realize it is one of the best takeout places in Louisville. So if you are looking for a budget- friendly Chinese takeout place with a lot of food, check this place out! read more

A solid3.5-4 stars. We started off with the hot and sour soup and some crab rangoon. The soup was great, and I loved that they topped it off with scallions! The crab rangoon was stuffed with yummy filling and was perfectly crispy. For the entrée, I ordered shrimp and chicken with garlic sauce. I was loaded with meat and spice(which I love by the way) but the sauce seemed too thin. All and all, this place seems like a solid Chinese takeout place! read more

Oriental Star is our family's most favorite chinese restaurant. We have eaten there for over 20 years. We love the General Tao Chicken, Combination Fried Rice, Bourbon Chicken, Spring Rolls, Vegetables, and Crab Ragoon. I also like that it is a family restaurant. We watched the owners' kids do their homework in the corner when we picked up our meals. The owner and his wife always recognize us when we come in. I would definitely recommend the food!!! read more

Prolly the best generic fast food Chinese joint in the city. Only other one of this caliber I remember was Dohble Dragon on Goss. Very consistent, everything's cooked well and not super greasy. Closed on Sundays. If you have a craving for fast food Chinese, this is the place. read more

Food was just ok, price point a bit high for what you get. Service was good and had an otherwise fine experience.

Stopped in for lunch to try their chicken fried rice. I was not too impressed with the flavor, seemed like rice in chicken stock. After adding two packs of soy sauce it was alright. Overall, not bad for $5 but the rice could've been better for sure. read more

Eehhh. Not the best Chinese takeout I've had. Especially for the price I paid! $17 for combo dinner and Crab Rangoon. I understand inflation, but this is almost robbery. Five slices of..beef, broccoli that was more yellow than green, 4 or 5 shriveled carrot slices, mushrooms that looked like they'd been thru nuclear war and no red sauce for my crab rangoon!?!? WHAT?!?! Won't be back again. read more

I had mixed feeling about this place, until the last time I visited. I was hit with that WOW factor. Let me first start off with saying that I love eggrolls. But I don't eat meat. THIS PLACE HASS EGGROLLS WITH NO MEAT ADDED!! Not a spring roll, not a summer roll, but a good ole crispy egg roll. I order 2 for myself each time. I just can't get enough! The first time I came I ordered the garlic broccoli with white rice. The meal was bland. I wish it had more flavor. Spice. Salt. Anything. But after looking through some reviews I decided to try again another day for lunch and ordered the vegetable chow mein, SPICY. And they did not disappoint. The noodles we're firm. The flavors we're spot on. I crave this dish, it's my guilty little pleasure. Staff have always been friendly. Food comes out in a very reasonable amount of time. I know what everyone says, all the Chinese restaurants are about the same. And that may be true. But each one has their own uniqueness about them and have those "go to" dishes that you can't get anywhere else. And I have found mine here. read more

Not bad. Not great. Simply Chinese fast food and nothing more. Had the General Tso's Chicken. Decent. Like I said above, nothing bad. Nothing great. Same can be said the rice and egg roll. The prices are on par with most Chinese restaurants. I will give credit to the driver. He was on time during a snow day . read more

i been eating at Oriental star for years never had a bad meal the food is the very best around everything is always excellent the manager ms Lane and her staff are always friendly and nice and kind i love selection of entrees read more

I've worked close to here off and on for years so I've tried it many times. I see the two star reviews were for the buffet, but I've always just gotten take out. The take out is a very good value. The lunch specials are only $4.75 and there is plenty of food for at least two meals in the container. The food is always hot and never over cooked either. read more

Ok so they have the best shrimp fried rice on this side of town make me wanna go smack my moma...they also have the best sweet and sour shrimp..everything else is mediocre. One thing i dont like about this place is they rip you off when you want anything extra unbelievable charges and they cheap they give you all this food and give you 2 packs of soy sauce and one fortune cookie. Cheap cheap asses...for those two reasons i give them a 2...because thy rip u off and cheap. read more

They should be proud of their garlic pork! Really a treat. Returned next evening to order again 2 notches more spicy. I will be back, family pride radiates from this gem. read more

Always good and solid choice for take out Chinese food, never disappoints. Fast, friendly family run local business and food always good.

I've been going to this place for at least 17 years and love their food. It needs a little updating, but sometimes those places are always the best! read more

My husband and I have been eating here for about seven years! We love the food, the staff is so nice! We have never had a bad experience with them. The building needs a little work, I'll give you that. But as long as the food stays as great as it is, I'll always be back. I come to enjoy the food and I always do. read more

Very good. Ordered the orange chicken lunch combo, was hot and included an actual orange peel, so I am confident that it was not just some packaged syrup over rice. Will definitely return. Call ahead if on a lunch break. read more

This is a must go!!! My husband and I stopped in for lunch and everything was spectacular! We dined in and all of our items was delivered to our table hot and fresh and very delicious! The General Tso's chicken, Seasame Chicken, Egg Rolls, Crab Ragoons and the Chicken and Shrimp Lo Mein! And the amount of food given leaves us with leftovers for another meal! I absolutely love places like this and the friendly staff places the cherry on top! Definitely coming back when I am back in town! read more

The worst Chinese food I've ever had! As a lifelong executive chef I hate bad reviewers but this was just poorly made food! Period! Sorry folks but you needed to know this! Change chefs and products you buy and it could all change but as of yesterday it was really bad! read more

I was in the neighborhood since I had some business at the main post office. This place is near, and there aren't many options in the area. Came here for lunch and just went with the buffet. Small selection, and the stuff they had wasn't even that good. I had a coke with it and it was more than $8, so I was even more disappointed. read more

I work a few streets down from Oriental Star, so my co-workers and I order here ALL the time. They are very reasonably priced, and the delivery? I have never waited for more than 30 minutes for my food to arrive. The food is always hot and delicious any time I order. Plus their crab rangoon, one of my favorites. They nail it every time. I recommend this place to everyone in the hospital whenever they're craving Chinese. read more

Standard-issue Chinese Buffet. Some of the dishes could be a bit warmer.

I've been getting carry-out here for years. The quality and quantity of food never disappoint. The staff is very friendly and the prices are excellent. Definitely the place to go for great food. read more

Oriental Star Rocks!! My family and I LOVE Oriental Star. We've never ordered off the buffet, as we always get the food delivered OR we take it home. It's always hot, delicious, and fast!!! I love the way the cashier knows our names and what we're going to order. They are always friendly and wonderful. We go to Oriental Star almost every Friday...it's our FAVORITE!!! read more

The food is outstanding!!! The crab Rangoon is the best I have ever had. Everything tastes fresh. I travel for a living and this is some of the best Chinese food I have had in a while. I only ordered appetizers but the dumplings melt in your mouth...we did order lo mein too awesome!! Don't believe the negitive reviews this is the first time I have posted any thing on yelp it was that good! read more

10/27/16 I went to Oriental star on lunch, and ordered General Tso Chicken. When I opened my box and took a bite I immediately spit it out. The meat was chewy and tasted old. The was no spice what so ever. It was disguising, I paid 6.10 FOR WHATT!!.. I only gave them a one star, because the broccoli was good but other than that it was sickening and my stomach is hurting. DONT GO...... STAY AWAY read more

Have been there many times. Most items were very good and it is a good value. The chicken on a stick is my son's favorite and the pot stickers are really good steamed or fried. read more
