China Star

They stayed open during Hurricane Milton (10/09/2024).Absolute Legends.The food was also good. You'll get your money's worth.

This has become my family's favorite Chinese takeout. My only negative would be that I have to go pick it up, no delivery-- at least to my house. We Love the egg rolls, they are crispy and flavorful( not a mouthful of grease) crab Rangoon and also the fried dumplings are also TOP of our list. Beyond that everything we've tried has been good. Particularly the Lo Mein's, the general tso's the rice noodles and the sweet and sour chicken are the ones my family goes back for time and time again. Great portion size so I get a couple meals out of one order. With a family of 7 that makes a big difference for us.

We've eaten at China Star before in other cities so when we decided on Chinese food and saw the name we decided to give it a try in hopes that they'd be just as good as the other locations that we've visited in the past! I'm glad we did because the food was delicious. We ordered the shrimp and broccoli which was fresh and flavors. The shrimp fried rice was good. As well as the sweet and sour chicken which was fried to perfection, not too soft and not too hard. I'd recommend this location and will come back in the future for sure!

Loved this place. Great food, fast, and huge quantities. I had pork fried rice, and added mushroom. And crab Rangoon. Can't wait to go back.

If you are hungry for Chinese, China Star won't disappoint. My favorite Chinese restaurant close to USF. Price is good food quality is fresh and servings are just right. I would post a picture of my hot sour soup, egg rolls and beef lei mien but I ate every bite. Next time. I will be back.

Went there for the first time today & food was very good. Since moving to Florida I haven't food Great Chinese food but this is a contender. Everything was fresh & still hot when I got home! Will return :)

This review is based on the context of a Chinese carry out place, not comparing it to a high-end restaurant! We were in search of a place to eat late at night, but most places were closed by 10pm. Finally found this place, not expecting much. Clean and basic carry out place with a couple of tables. They were quick and the food came out piping hot! Tried the chicken lo mein and beef lo mein, very flavorful and noodles were good, but a bit too soft since I personally prefer a bit more "bounciness" and chew to my noodles, but not expected from a carry out place. The orange chicken had a surprising kick to it, just slightly spicy which was enjoyable even for the kids. Portion size and price were great too! A solid 4.5 for carry out food, but since we asked for some plates and plastic utensils and they had no issues and gave plenty to our van full of 7 hungry people, I'm rounding to a 5 for service!

I read that this was an authentic Chinese restaurant and came straight over because of that statement. And there was 3 Mexicans cooking which I don't mind, but please never say it's authentic again.. I only order a shrimp roll which was delicious! And an egg drop and wongton soup, but I had better else where..it's not bad at all, just had better. But the shrimp roll was perfectly cooked and fresh and my grape crush soda! Was amazing

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.

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.
