China Star

This is a hidden jewel. It’s in a nondescript strip mall and there’s nothing outside to impress the customer. Once inside we were greeted by a charming young hostess who assured us that the food was very good.
And so it was. The food was light, with fresh ingredients. The egg rolls were a rarity: something you’d actually want to buy on purpose. The crab Rangoon melted in our mouths.
And the portions of the main dishes were quite generous; we had enough for supper the next day and satisfied with it.
The surprising thing was the decoration: a flower and a bird expertly carved from a fresh carrot. Just what you might expect in an upscale restaurant in Beijing
The waitress was equally charming and very efficient. It was pleasant in every way.

We are new to the Englewood area and took a chance on The China Star mainly for the delivery service so I wasn’t expecting much but boy was I wrong. The food came very fast and was piping hot on arrival. Portions were generous and tasty. We will be doing a lot more business with this establishment in the future.

I read some reviews before coming, and was intrigued… but what an incredibly pleasant surprise! They make their own egg rolls, which are excellent – no frozen, mass-​produced generic egg rolls here. I don’t even really like egg rolls, but the first one I had (pork) was so good that I decided to try a beef one, too. It was delicate and filled with vegetables and VERY thin-​sliced beef. Delicious.
The Mala Green Beans were the best I’ve had – cooked just right, with lots of green onions and mushrooms to add complexity. And the Vegetarian Moo Shu was another great surprise, since they use traditional rice flour «pancakes» as the wrappers, unlike so many places that cheat and use white flour tortillas instead.
The final great surprise was that the rice they use is actually a very light, high quality sticky rice. And all the portion sizes were more than generous, so I took home enough for at least another meal… or two.
I took a chance on this place, and will definitely come back. Great people here, too.

ZERO STARS. We all got sick from general tsos chicken and «fried rice» which had no vegetables or eggs in it and we got charged an extra dollar each for that. After we ate our stomachs weren’t right. After a heavy night of puking we came back today to get our money back. The woman working told us to call the police. We refused to call the police abd waste their time. She refused to return our money and we left. She was so rude and condescending and acted like we were idiots.

Placed a large delivery order and was blown away at the quality of the food. The prices are very good also. I ordered the crab rangoon, the dumplings, vegetable fried rice, mushroom egg foo young, sweet and sour chicken, egg drop soup, and one of the things I ordered came with white rice.
Let me be clear here, this is American Chinese food, but for what it is its the best I’ve had anywhere. Below are descriptions of the items I ordered:
The rangoon looked a bit iffy since it wasn’t folded how I’m used to seeing them done, however the filing was perfect for the dough and slightly sweet, with a nice taste of crab.
The dumplings were great. The dough/​filling proportion was nicely balanced and the sausage inside was sweet, mildly spicy and very flavorful.
The vegetable fried rice was cooked perfectly. The vegetables had a nice char to them, the dish was not overly oily. Amazing flavor.
Mushroom egg foo young. Again, great balance and flavor. Cooked perfectly.
The sweet and sour chicken was for the kids but I tried it. It was standard in most ways aside from the fact that I can tell the restaurant is very clean by the freshness of the taste of these. The fryer oil must be changed often.
The egg drop soup was the low point of the order but it was still good. Needed a bit more seasoning.
The white rice was great also. I could tell they use Nishiki rice. Cooked perfectly.

This was the best Chinese takeout I’ve had since I left NYC in 1994! Each dish was exceptional and I LOVE Chinese takeout. I had the Shrimp Egg Foo Young, House Special Lo Mein and Chicken Wings. Everything was as good as I could have hoped. I definitely recommend this restaurant as a eat in or take out place. They have a very nice dining area. If you’re in the Dayton area and like good fresh Chinese food, China Star will not disappoint!

Unsure about place from the outside, however it was a hit! The people running the place was extremely nice. The place was clean. The food was AMAZING! Kung Pao Chicken was the best I’ve ever had. It was hot and fresh. The appearance of the plate made a huge impact. The lunch price was $ 5.50 with huge servings. I highly recommend this place. I will be a return customer. Great job!

Very good fresh food ! I order Chinese food a lot when I travel and two weeks ago I ordered delivery from a Chinese place close to this one. It was the worst food in ever ordered ! So I was scared to order from this place however it was a complete 180 ! I mean the fried rice was sooooo fresh and great tasting I did not get much veg in the rice but once I tasted it wow. I also got orange chicken it was so fresh and tasted delish ! Also they have the best fried crab Rangoon I ever had I always get those very rarely are they halfway that good ! My son got sweet sour chicken and it was perfect they give you so much food two dinners can feed at least 4 people with leftovers ! Have a great meal ;) I hope you like it as much as me they deliver fast

Delicious food! Even the basics like their fried rice was yummy. The food tastes authentic, not like these fast food type Chinese places, if that makes sense. The portions are large enough that I couldn’t even finish my meal and ended up taking a carry-​out box back to the hotel. Ended up with two meals for the price of one! Nice people to! Wishing we had a place like this back in Alabama.
