My friend and I came around 11am and both got 2 item combos. They really LOADED the plates up with food too!I got the sesame chicken and Mongolian chicken with half chow mein and half fried rice. My friend got the orange chicken and spicy chicken with half half as well!Everything was really good, but the orange chicken and sesame chicken was dry and tough instead of moist, tender, and crispy. Would come back and test it again because maybe it was just this batch.

Went here to try the food and ordered the 2 item combo and the lady re asked the same question 3 times. I ordered the orange chicken and the bbq pork and this is $12 with out tax. I go to the register and they say $15.50 and t say why is it higher price and they said we charge an additional $1.75 on top of the $12 for the pork. This is very disappointing since almost all Chinese restaurants don't charge an additional fee on top of of a fee.It's bad enough that eggs are $7 to $12 a dozen!!!!I would suggest another location

Stopped in for the first time recently when I was craving soup. Bought a large container of their standard egg flower soup. It came piping hot with some good veggies taking the basic egg flower soup up a notch. I believe they also have options with chicken and a spicy version. Their pork fried rice was fantastic and came so packed into the container I got five meals out of it. Big chunks of pork were the star of that show. I'll definitely be back to try their other made to order items.

Cheap food on the go. It's decent for the price, and the portions are solid. The rice and noodles really fill you up and their eggplant w/ tofu was cooked well. Given the long line around dinner time, a lot of people appreciate the affordable food that doesn't skimp on taste.

A very solid Chinese fast food option and walking distance from CSULB. Being in that prime location, they could choose to gouge you, but they don't. The prices are very affordable and the portions are huge.What is unique about China Star is there are a decent amount of vegetarian and vegan alternatives on the line. There is an eggplant Tofu dish, an all veggies dish, and one of the pho options is vegan. And, oh yeah, they have Pho and it is great!They also have bubble tea and a bunch of other things, but I stick mainly to the 1 or 2 item combos or the pho. Check it out!

I needed a quick dinner before the nearby college basketball game. China Star Express came up well recommended. When I arrived in the small parking lot, Pizzamania was busy and CSE was empty. I almost opted not for Chinese fast food because of the lack of customers. Right when 6:00pm hit, the place had a line to the door. Like many family owned Chinese fast food restaurants, they give you a lot of tasty food. But the prices here are below the market average, probably to entice Beach students. I had a 2-item convo with half/half fried rice and chow mein; mushroom chicken and broccoli beef. Everything was delicious. The vegetables especially seemed high quality. Definitely recommend this for fast, cheap and delicious Chinese food.

This Chinese food restaurant is a popular spot for CSULB students and construction workers. It's close to CSULB, and it's never super crowded in here!I got the 1 Item Combo with Chow Mein, Fried Rice, and Orange Chicken. The portions are good for being under $10, and there was a sign that says for a limited time, combos get a free medium drink from 3-6pm. The Chow Mein is good, the Fried Rice is pretty good too, and the Orange Chicken isn't too crunchy or too soft, and it's flavorful!The employees are nice, I've never had a bad experience with them. The restaurant has plenty of seating both outside and inside. It's decently clean, it just looks like any typical Chinese food restaurant.I would come here again. The prices are good, the food is good, and the employees are nice!

My girlfriend and her friends frequent this place and this happened to be my first of infinite visits. It's by far the best fast food Chinese I have ever had. I heard good things about it and since moving to the area, I wanted to land a great place to bring home quality Chinese. It's a clean restaurant and great food. I went with the three combo plate (which for the price isn't bad at all) I got the amazing chow mein and fried rice with beef broccoli and orange chicken and their mushroom chicken.The orange chicken and the sesame chicken that my girlfriend got were both crispy and had enough flavor on them. The broccoli was tender and the mushroom chicken was glorious. Big pieces of mushrooms and zucchini with chunks of chicken. It came with a free drink for my combo so that was cool. I loved how the chow mein had more noodle than cabbage. That was a huge plus. I'll be frequenting this spot a lot in the future.

Came here on a Saturday around 2:00pm no wait to order. Parking in lot. Not a lot of seating. Ordered a bowl with chow mein and orange chicken. Chow mein was good, orange chicken some pieces were a bit rough/hard to eat. On the oily side too. Overall price to taste it is okay.
