    If you blink you'll miss this little food cafe located on the north side of the the LIE service close to Utopia Parkway. My GF noticed it one rainy day because on bad traffic on the main Level LIE road. We order three dishes, pork chops on rice, beef lo mein, and pineapple fried rice. All three dishes were great! We totally enjoyed ourselves. Some minor notes- Food took a long time due to only one cook in the kitchen. I counted SEVEN blackboard menus; it took a long time to read! A little overwhelming. It was very noisy when we were there and tables were limited due to a large group of high school kids packed in during lunch time. Parking can be a challenge; read the signs! Decor is nice. I will be back!

    My boyfriend and I were craving something sweet late at night so we found this place on seamless. The delivery person brought our desserts whilst it was snowing pretty hardcore! We were so appreciative. The desserts were yummy! We ordered the mango cheesecake and Oreo stuffed cake. Fun note is that there's an ice cream filling in the Oreo cake. We are definitely ordering from here again and trying their other desserts.

    **3.5 stars** Star Cafe is tiny! It took a long time to figure out the menu because it's posted on the walls all over the place. I am not sure if the paper menu has everything. It is hard to tell. We ordered lo mein, fried rice and a pork chop dish. The lo mein was the best dish of the three. The pineapple fried rice was enjoyable. The kitchen is clean. The people behind the counter were nice to me. The price was a bit high for the portion size. The boxes that the food came in were barely full. For the price I paid, I did expect at least a slightly fuller box of food. The food was satisfactory. The quality and taste is good. How much you like the food depends on what you order. I would stay away from certain things like the ramen or Thai dishes. This is a Cantonese cafe place so that is what I would stick to. The atmosphere would have been fine except for the teenagers. They were really loud and their backpacks and books were spread out all over the place taking up tables where people could have sat. There are not many table so I was surprised when these students were able to take up tables to just place their bags and books. I saw the students move between three tables. One table to just sit at, another table to eat at and another table for their belongings. It's ridiculous. The kids were also super duper loud. I am sure the teenagers are their main clientele. It's next to a school. Would I go back? Not on purpose but if I was in the neighborhood and looking for a snack or lunch spot, I would come back if I was passing by.

    New kids on the block! After several failed businesses at this location Star Cafe deserves to shine. Looks to be family owned and ran with much love and respect to the food they put out. I have been here the past 3 days since they opened and have not had a bad meal yet. They have daily specials for an entree and a arizona drink for 7.50, which is pretty decent of a price for the amount of food given. The chef always asks how i would like my meal and will cook the meal to your preference. With a menu of snacks & sandwiches to rice & noodle dishes that is not too over the top but will keep you coming back to try the next thing on the menu. Nothing seems to be cooked in advance so be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes for your food. Everything has been fresh and exceeded my expectations of what i'm use to eating from a HK style cafe. Review of foods i've tried: Crispy Popcorn Chicken - taiwanese style crispy little nuggets of fried deliciousness Bun With Pork Chop - Fusion style porkchop with onions and american cheese on italian hero (add peppers for a spicy kick!) Pork Chop w/ Salt & Pepper over Rice - matches any restaurant i've enjoyed this dish at but with less fat than other places Chicken Chop w/ Black Pepper Sauce over Spaghetti - Chicken was fresh and juicy and pepper sauce had a nice kick Lemon Tea - standard lemon tea w/ no sugar Bubble Milk Tea - compares to cafes not as much sugar which is my preference Potato Croquette - chef gave this to me for free to try her newest creation. it was yummy. Overall i would recommend this place to anybody passing by in the area. There's not much parking on the side street but call ahead so you can put in a order be in and out. I have suggested to them that they start delivering to build a wider client base. This little shop has earned my business and with competition like tea shop 2 blocks away i find their ingredients to be fresher and quality of food to be a leagues ahead of them. Bring your empty stomachs here and the chef do her best to accommodate.

    Their Angus burger was surprisingly delicious and actually looked like the pictures (THICK!) It was cooked the way I wanted and was juicy. The fries also had a good crunch to it. The citrus honey lemon tea was refreshing and not too sweet. I'll probably be stopping by here more often.

    A very special, high quality and tasty cantonese style food. Service is good and friendly. Highly recommend the chicken filet fried rice.

    The remainder of my Hong Kong style fish balls.  Very good flavour, right amount of heat.

    Cosy little place serving Hong Kong style snacks. Food came hot & fast. The restaurant is very clean and orderly, deserved of the "A" rating. I would revisit this place without hesitation.

    Good service. Food is fast. I ordered and went back outside to wait in the car and they bought it outside when food was ready.

    My mom and I came here when they first opened, and we loved the food so much we came back a few…read moremore times. Unfortunately when we returned a few weeks later, the quality of the food tasted like it had changed, tasting more bland (like the pea shoots), too saucy (like the Kung pao chicken) and too soggy (the pan fried pork buns). A little disappointed in our last visit. Still, the scallion noodles and salt and pepper chicken are delicious. We've always had good service here and the waiters are very attentive, and make sure our tea is refilled and we have everything we need. The ambiance is super cute and it feels like you're in a bamboo forest, and their booth seating is private and a cozy little nook. Not sure if we'll be coming back anytime soon.

    This place still has a lot of kinks to work out. Relatively newly open. There's also a location…read morein Manhattan. Their signature soup dumplings. Didn't like the texture of the skin. I found it too thick, and doughy, particularly the top knot. The filling was okay at best. I've had better. Also tried the three cup chicken. Didn't realize this is a cold dish. It wasn't mentioned on the menu. I would have preferred this hot. Also lacking enough seasoning. The best thing about this restaurant is the bakery items, in the front. Yes you heard right. There is a tiny area next to the window that sells many bakery items and also sandwiches that look pretty good. The sponge rolls cakes are good. But not really special because you can get these at many Flushing bakeries. Pork bun, lacked enough sauce and filling. Service is fine. Servers were nice and helpful. Decor. Pretty nice, with fake trees inside, with wood booth seating. Could use some cushions. If I'm in the area, I might only come back for bakery items. But maybe this place will get better in time, just not right now for me.

Located in the new mall in the heart of flushing queens with all your favorites from Asia housed in one place. Parking is awful and there is a lot located in the basement. Pricey but who cares when it's stressful on the streets. The food and service is as perfect. The seafood rice was alright, the orange beef was a 10/10. And of course the duck was perfect. Definitely do the whole duck where you get it done 3 ways for the table. Cheers

They gave us broad beans, fried wontons and seaweed for apps. When I asked for seconds they brought another over. I ordered myself a lychee drink. Service wasn't the greatest. Even though there wasn't enough room they were a bit brusque and rude imho bringing things and moving things on our table. Even when heading to the restroom the rest of the wait staff were not pleasant and didn't move while standing in the narrow walkway to the restrooms. The place wasn't cheap but we were able to use my son's student id to get a 10% discount at least.
