Reviews for China Star

02/08/2009 - Not Necessary
Don't be fooled by a few stars. Listen to me. Want to waste money, in this poor economy?? On a weekend night, we ordered nearly $60.00 of food for home delivery. "Just trying out a new place for us to get Chinese food." What a surprise!! The worst pork fried rice ever. Just white rice, browned with whatever they use, and a few pieces of pork, including pieces of diced FAT! The house special fried rice was a bit better, with some extras thrown in like, small shrimp, chicken, and pork, with some vegetables. However, the fried rice had NO TASTE! We also ordered honey chicken, but asked to have a lot of garlic added. No garlic and just a hint of honey. Otherwise, just plain old breaded chicken chunks, again with NO TASTE. Get this, we ordered 4 egg rolls as an appetizer. They had basically nothing in them! Just cabbage, with a hint of some kind of small bits of meat, probably pork. Sweet and sour chicken was just hard pieces of over fried chicken, with some sliced carrots and green peppers. Again, same taste as the other dishes. NONE! Sliced pork with string beans was good because it had a brown sauce covering it. Same thing for the Pork Egg Foo Young. The gravy was the saving grace for this dish. They must know the non-flavorful food they offer. They included (no lie) 35 packets of soy sauce and duck sauce!!! Get my drift? Stay away. I am not disgruntled, just VERY disappointed that I didn't order from the usual JOY LUCK restaurant. Not the Joy Luck Cafe, but the main restaurant on Dunlawton, at Nova..
