China Star

We called to complain. No response. I will request my money back

Since moving to the Wellington/​Manassas area about a year ago I’ve been going to Panda Café. Tonight I thought I’d give China Star a try. Their dumplings are very good, their dipping sauce isn’t my personal favorite though. I also got chicken with mixed vegetables. They give you the option of brown or white sauce, I got brown. The ratio of meat to beg was very good, everything seemed fresh and good. Wish it was a little saltier. I got a free order of sweet and sour chicken with my order over $ 25, it was also very traditional and very good. Their steak and cheese egg rolls are smaller than Panda Café but they are also cheaper (2 for $ 2.95 at China Star, $ 2.45 each at Panda). I feel they are just as good.
The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars was the customer service isn’t so great but it wasn’t horrible.
All in all, they are a little cheaper than Panda Café and portions are still great. A few small differences but not bad.

Cheap, tasty, and fast Chinese takeout. What’s not to like? Literally the first place I ate at when I moved to the area. Give it a try. You won’t regret it.

They deliver fast… And by far they make the VERY best Chinese Food… Every time I order I try something new and every time I’m very Pleased…

I call the check on my order after 1 hour when they told me it will take 35 to 40 minutes, mind it only takes three minutes to drive there I could have gone to pick it up but I couldn’t at the moment the guy that pick up the phone said the driver should be there in a few minutes when I said well if it’s not in 5 minutes I would have to cancel and he said well I’m calling my driver back then you won’t get your food. What kind of service is this!

I order from here all the time! I always get 2 different lo mein, chicken with spring onion, spicy chicken, and a bunch of apps. The crab ragoons are the best in manassas. Their customer service and delivery is awesome!

We ordered Kung pao chicken meals. WAY TOO MUCH celery. I feel like I’m eating a bad salad. The chicken is thin and white. There are peanuts in here. It would have been okay but there is literally so much celery that I’m digging for chicken. The chicken is mixed with carrots, green peppers, peanuts, and celery. The vegetables are all crisp. Not tender. Disappointed. See my picture…

I ate here again, and I was not impressed now.
The wonton soup is good. That alone is why it doesn’t get the one star.
But this time I ordered a Lo Mein dish. The noodles and everything else in it were greasy. Tons of rice (they got the order wrong with it as I requested white rice and they gave me fried) to the point where it made the dish inedible. On top of that, the noodles and the vegetables in it tasted out of a supermarket. How I managed to not get sick from it, also gets me ²⁄₅. I also asked for a menu, and they did not give it to me. That’s a bummer.
Well, at least I tried. But don’t think I will try again.

Estimated Delivery Time: 45 mins
Actual Delivery Time (from end of order phone call): 30 mins
Ordered: Beef spring roll, crab rangoon, Orange Chicken, beef lo mein
Food was fresh and very good! The crab rangoon was made with a light thin pastry instead of the more common thick, chewy, deep fried dough.
Bookmarking!

I just received my order of shrimp and broccoli. The shrimp was very soggy, not firm at all. I call the delivery number to let them know that I was not satisfied with my order. The women who answered proceeded to profess that they sell a lot of shrimp and no one has ever complained. Needless to say I will not be ordering food from here ever again.

Delicious Chinese food, a great place to go if you are hungry. I love their general Tso chicken and they have steak cheese egg roll that I don’t find in any other place. Highly recommend to try this specialty. The lady in front is very nice, always has a smile on her face. Great food and great hospitality.

I ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan and shrimp with lobster sauce for lunch. I must say wow, these were some of the worst Chinese take-​outs I’ve had in years. And I’m not very picky either, especially after prolonged, hard-​core diet.
Shrimp with lobster sauce had a decent amount of shrimp and tasted okay while it was strange to have a decent amount of fake crab meat as filler. The red dye was wearing off to white rice. I would have preferred peas/​carrots or more broth as filler. Moo Goo Gai Pan, on the other hand, was just terrible. I love mushroom and my all time favorite dish Moo Goo Gai Pan rarely disappoints me but this one was tasteless with strange texture from brown «canned» mushrooms. Who would have thought fresh ingredient does matter for chinese take-​out? Lastly, the egg roll tasted like metal. How? I have no idea. I felt like I was eating bits of frying pan.

Ever since I moved here from Atlanta, I have been trying to find a decent Chinese restaurant to frequent. This place is the best I have found. They always give you your money’s worth portion wise plus they will match competitor’s coupons so the price is right too. But for me it’s taste and service and they knock both of those out of the park. Everything on the menu I have had has great but my go to dish is the Hunan chicken and shrimp combo. The sauce is just thick enough, not runny and watered down like other places, and if you like spicy this is the item for you. The lady at the register is always nice to me and never forgets my side of chili sauce even if I don’t eat here for months. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. Just try it and you can thank me later :-)

This place was decent for a chinese food takeout. Their wings with the mambo sauce and the philly cheesesteak eggrolls are very tasty but those items are not really chinese food items so that is why my review is a little lower. Their typical fare of fried rice, lo mein, szechuan chicken and egg foo young were average. The chicken and broccoli was disappointing, bland and broccoli was overcooked. That being said its not the worst place (by far) and I would definitely eat there again,

Was really feeling Chinese yesterday so I stopped by China Star. It doesn’t look like much from the outside but the food was really good. I ordered the General Tso chicken and the cheesesteak egg rolls. The chicken was very good, tho I was a bit disappointed it didn’t include broccoli. But that’s alright because it meant more chicken. I’m going to do my best not to over exaggerate this next part, but the cheesesteak egg rolls were the greatest thing of all time, ever. It is imperative these get ordered with every meal. Obviously I will be frequenting China Star again.

My boyfriend and I needed to find a new Chinese place since our favorite place was quickly going down hill. After some research we decided to give China Star a try. WOW! We have now found our new favorite place.
The Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls are a must! Seriously addicting and will always be included in any of our orders. Sweet and Sour Chicken was delicious — best sauce we’ve ever had. Pepper Steak was amazing as well.
Looking for a new place? You must try here — and make sure you have at least 2 orders of the Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls.

I am a Wu’s Garden girl. They are my go to for Chinese delivery when I am at home. I thought I would branch out a bit and try something new — I called China Star and placed my typical order, General Tso’s Chicken and an order of Crab Rangoon and threw in a diet coke for good measure.
I could easily understand the woman on the phone. She told me it would be about 45 minutes and they delivered right within that time frame.
IMO, Wu’s Garden has the best crab Rangoon in Manassas, maybe anywhere, and this opinion still stands true today! China Star’s order comes with 12 small purse style Rangoon’s. They were basically still raw dough with cream cheese in them. They needed to be cooked a few minutes longer. The soggy dough and the super soft cheese filling was basically a bite of mush. No bueno! More crab… more onion… more flavor! Please!
The Generals Tso’s Chicken wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t really good. It was a tad bit over breaded, soggy, included no broccoli and didn’t have any spice to it whatsoever.
Strike two!
The rice — was white rice with soy sauce. No peas, no carrots, no onions and certainly no flavor.
Strike three… boo!
It’s not that things here are terrible, but there are better options around. I don’t see myself ordering here again.
Food — 1 star.
Service — 3 stars!

Best egg rolls ever! I never order these things because it’s all cabbage and dry. My wife for these and I found myself saying: we have to go back to get some more. I could have eaten a dozen of them.
We’ve been here a few times and it’s a great place and not one of those «other» places. Definitely making this out go to Chinese place out here. I also feel very comfortable ordering anything of the menu even if I have never heard of it before.

I’m surprised at how many great Chinese food places there are around town. This one included. It has great dishes (General Tso’s, House and Chicken fried rice, Shrimp and Scallops) comparable to the rest of my reviews in Chinese delivery places. Their service is fast and very pleasant people. I don’t recommend the Crab Ragoon, it’s a bit salty. I’m lookin forward to exploring the rest of the menu here. I’ve already ordered from this place 3x in the last 2 weeks, it’s that good. They will offer a deal if you order a certain amount like most Chinese eateries. Wish the other cuisines would do that.

China Star get’s one more from me after my ‘dine in’ experience.
I stopped in after along bike ride in the neighborhood.
They have a great location at the corner of Wellington and Grant for an easy in and out.
I ordered the Moo Shu pork which was quite good!
It comes with steamed rice, plum sauce and those thin rice shells for wrapping like a chinese taco.
Service was fast and friendly.
I forgot my bike lock so the owner let me wheel my bike inside.
Don’t ask… I’ve had two bad experiences with my bike getting ripped off.
I refuse to get a cheap bike.
Any way, I had ordered take out here back in Oct which was a less than 3 star experience. For this most recent experience they get a one star upgrade!
