Golden Star

My wife and I have been looking for good Chinese food for a while in the area and we finally found it. The Mongolian Beef will melt you in your chair. The Pork fried rice brings a smile to my face every time. The only negative thing I have to say is that the eggrolls have changed in the past year or so. They used to be perfect. I would order only egg rolls at times as a snack if I was in the plaza. Honestly, egg rolls are how I define how good a Chinese food place is. A year and a half ago, I would have given Golden Star 5 stars, but the egg rolls have changed. Not sure if they started using a different vendor or what. They used to be flaky and full of fresh goodness that made my heart sing in Chinese. I had no clue what my heart was singing because I don't speak Chinese, but it was lovely. Now, the egg rolls are mushy on the inside and it makes me sad. This is not based on one or two visits. We eat from here at least once per month and the last year has been disappointing when it comes to the egg rolls. The rest of the food is delicious, which is why we keep coming back. But I must admit that if we find a place with better egg rolls, there is no telling what might happen. But if you don't like egg rolls, this place would be 5 stars for you! P.S. Bring back your old egg rolls.

Service was fast, and my egg fu young was slightly undercooked and tasteless. As I continued to eat, I noticed the rice had a bite to it, so the fried rice was also undercooked. Hubby ordered the General Tso's with vegetable rice as I, I asked to taste his rice, nicely flavored, and well cooked. Well, the egg fu young gravy..tasteless as well. I don't get to this Chinese restaurant much, but it is probably last time. The dinner specials come with an entree and egg roll. That's it. Usually, the dinner size does come with at least a soda or drink. The nice lady behind the counter I formed me that the free drink is included when you purchase $20.00 or more.

I ordered the bean curd and broccoli. I saw the overall good reviews and ignored the bad one I just read near the top....I agree with the one that mentioned how bland the food was. My tofu was inedible. The broccoli is overcooked.We started off on a rocky start setting that I called and asked if they had tofu and broccoli as a lunch special and they said yes for me to arrive and notify me that it wasn't there and that I would need to pay $1 extra then that using a card would be .3 extra. Got my food quick though, so I was willing to let it slide, but this food isn't good. Won't be making my way back here.

My favorite Chinese restaurant!This will always be my go to spot. From the food to the customer service you can't go wrong!

After my recent experience at Golden Star I will not be going back. The food is absolutely terrible. The best thing was the shrimp fried rice but it had way too many onions. The flavor and seasoning were below average. The gravy was basically inedible; I can not describe the taste in words but it reminded me of some kind of chemical. The food did not seem fresh at all especially the spring rolls and the egg rolls. Ordinarily I would be excited to get more than what I paid for but this time the cook decides to overfill the container. My shrimp fried spilled all over my bag basically leaving me a few spoon fulls ($80 worth of food for a small group in a brown paper bag). They did not label any of the food so I could not tell what was what. I always have some issue with the person taking orders at the front counter and this time she forgot part of my order.I did not eat inside the restaurant but I stood inside for about 15 minutes. The inside is extremely dirty and there are lots of small insects flying and/or crawling around everywhere.

This is your typical fast food Chinese but it's clean quick and relatively reasonably priced. You get free stuff when you spend certain amounts so bonus there.

Golden Star is located in the Walmart Neighborhood Market plaza, offering an extensive menu that offers beef/pork/chicken/seafood/vegetable dishes, appetizers and soup, egg foo young, chow mein, chop suey, noodle dishes, fried rice, and various chef's recommendations and specialties.We had heard that this place offers the best fried rice and orange chicken, so we decided to give this place a try for a later dinner. We called in for a hot & sour soup, orange chicken, crab rangoon, and chicken fried rice. Unfortunately, the food was just not good - the fried rice was unflavorful, and the bits of chicken and the veggies were a bit dried out; the orange chicken had an off-putting taste to them, so this was pushed off to the side; crab rangoon was okay, but the wonton wrappers were a bit too chewy and not as crispy; and, the hot & sour soup that the hubs had ordered was a bit watered down.We also tried their house-brewed sweet tea and lemonade mix; I appreciated in them packing it in a convenient way, lining the bottom of the plastic bag with a piece of cardboard so that the drinks don't tip over - very thoughtful! While the drinks were a bit too sweet for us, it was the only item that we enjoyed from the order.The staff here was very welcoming and friendly, and they were very generous with adding in chili oil and other condiments in our bag.I'm glad I was able to give Golden Star a try, but wouldn't return - I just wished we had the same delicious experience as others!Plenty of parking in the plaza lot.+dried-out chicken+chewy crab rangoons+friendly staff+plenty of parking in plaza lot

It's Chinese take out. Nothing more. Nothing less. Stick to the common. We sampled the coconut jumbo shrimp - pass. It was mostly breading but fried nicely. House fried rice - pass. Just underwhelming. I enjoyed the fried dumplings but still was a let down for my cheat meal. We were psyched to see lumpia's on the menu! This is never available in the Northeast. Probably best to go with reviews from locals. It's possible that we just have different expectations.

Had an excellent dinner from here Saturday night. This was my first time trying Golden Star and it was excellent. They're located on Kempsville Road in the shopping center with the Walmart Grocery and the Wawa. A nice feature of Golden Star is that you can order online and then go pick it up (they don't deliver currently). They're only a couple of miles from the house so in no time at all, like 20 minutes, I was walking out of the place with dinner. In fact, they had it bagged up and ready to go as I arrived. For my dinner I ordered Beef & Broccoli with veggie fried rice and a pork egg roll on the side. They also know how to make some fried rice. It was brown, not that yellow stuff. The food was delicious, well prepared and the portion was huge. I had about half for dinner and took the rest to work for lunch. Also on your first visit, which they knew since I ordered online, you get a free soda from their cooler. I saved that for lunch also. Check them out if you're looking for some good food in the south Greenbrier area.

Always amazing portions for the price. Lunch menu is the best bang for your buck around
