Not my usual Chinese takeout place. I did want to give it a try to compare to my usual place.I used Uber Eats for delivery. Friendly driver but he had a hard time finding my location. Another story.I first asked in both orders "no mushrooms". I got mushrooms. I had hoped for spicy. Not so much. I got the house lo mein, white rice, and spicy pork. Overall I like my regular place. I probably won't try this place again.

Overall taste was on point but I have noticed they are putting very little meat . Been a customer for many years and noticing the cutbacks

as a native New Yorker, i am always asked my reviews on three things.pizza. chinese food. bagels.and i always compare what i eat here in florida to what I've had in new york because new york will always be better... right?well. China Star is the first chinese food spot where I can confidently say it reminds me of home. i always get the crab rangoons, and i like to switch between shrimp and broccoli and vegetable lo mein. the shocker came when i went back to new york a month ago and had a meal from my favorite chinese spot... and found i liked China Star more! with their crispier crab rangoons and more flavorful fried rice, i was left unsatisfied from the restaurant that was once my favorite spot!!you're officially number 1, China Star!

The restaurant looked pretty clean in the lobby, no dine in. Asked some random person waiting what was good and he recommended the Singapore Mei Fun extra spicy. It's deliciously. Nicely cooked thin noodles with a good amount of meat, I think it's shrimp chicken and pork. I would def order from here again. Hot and sour soup was pretty loaded as well. Priced pretty decent as well.

A lackluster experience that left me hungry and yearning for more. I ordered the House Mei Fun and an egg roll, with hopes that at least the Mei Fun would be good. The egg roll was a HARD pass, mushy and bland it offered nothing as a benefit and half of it ended up in the trash due to disinterest- and I LOVE egg rolls so that was a clear sign to me on their quality. This left me worried about what I would find upon opening my Mei Fun. Usually packed with veggies and an assortment of meat, this was a box of mush mostly with egg smeared on items in a somewhat gross manner that is unlike any Mei Fun I've had... anywhere else. Not upset about the egg, but didn't like the way it was worked into the dish. Wasn't very generous on meats or veggies, it took some work to find a piece of pork and a piece of shrimp. It was however heavy on discolored chicken but I ended up putting it in the fridge to see if I can improve it later when reheating on my stove. Giving this restaurant two stars as the food arrived hot, so for delivery I was slightly impressed with that. Will keep searching for the best Americanized Chinese food locally, because this was for sure, not it.

Excellent and fresh. It's that simple.It's our first time ordering from here and the food was fresh. We had the shrimp fried rice, wonton soup and Rangoon wontons. The service is friendly and fast.We will make this restaurant one of our favorites.

My go to Chinese place by USF. Love the pork fried rice and teriyaki chicken on a stick. Also obsessed with the crab Rangoons
Due to recent musculoskeletal issues, I've been resorting to delivery and I had a craving for Chinese food, which is funny since I usually don't care for it.I noticed China Star delivered and had bourbon chicken(for some reason, I don't see that dish that often outside of mall food courts).I got the bourbon Chicken combo which comes with pork fried rice and 1 egg roll for $11 (plus tax/delivery fees). The order was packaged decently and had plastic cutlery, soy and duck sauce. There were no napkins at all.The amount of food was adequate, though I'm sure some places would offer it for less than $10. The bourbon chicken was serviceable, but I actually prefer the taste of the Chinese place inside University Square Mall (Stop laughing). Also, the chicken here had limited sauce compared to that one.I skimmed Yelps' pics and it seems they have all the staple Americanized Chinese dishes like Sesame Chicken, Beef pepper steak etc. I used the doordash app and it took roughly 35 minutes to arrive. China Star is about 3 miles from my place.Overall: A very typical Chinese joint that will do fine. Its not revolutionary, but it gets the job done.
