    Terrific. Great portions for a great price. Have never been disappointed with the quality of the food or the time of service.

    Always consistently good. Been coming here for years. Fast service and much better food quality than Panda Express.

    Let's start by saying I'm from NY and worked over 20 years near Chinatown. It would be unfair to…read morecompare this restaurant to those in NY so I will compare China Star with other restaurants in the area. I ordered several basic dishes. If you can't get the basics right, then you're in the wrong business. Before you say anything, I did not eat all of this at one sitting. Eggroll - A bit small but not bad. Could have used some bits of pork in the filling. Fried pork dumplings - The first one I tried was very dry. I took the rest of the dumplings and placed them in a steamer for a few minutes. That brought them back to life. In most area restaurants, the dumplings are terrible. They are small with little filling and are pretty much comparable to frozen dumplings from the supermarket. Some of them probably are. China Star makes their own. While they are more like shumai than the traditional potstickers, they are very tasty and have the right amount of filling. I would probably lean towards the steamed dumplings next time and I would fry them myself. Sweet and sour chicken - This was done very well. The coating was light and not at all greasy. So many places use too much batter and overcook them. Beef lo mein - Extremely well done. Lots of tender beef with properly sauced noodles. I really enjoyed this. Spareribs and fried rice combo - This is the only dish that I had a problem with. The fried rice had no flavor. The ribs were overcooked and overly sauced. They were a sloppy mess to eat and not worth getting dirty over. Since moving to Daytona Beach Shores 4 years ago, I have been searching for decent Chinese food. Several high rated restaurants were obviously rated by people who don't have a clue. China Star is the first local Chinese restaurant I would go back to. They are definitely not great, but better than any others I have tried in the area. I look forward to trying some other dishes. I just won't order the ribs again.

    Love there food!!! Best and most reasonable Chinese food in the area! Very large portions. My only…read morecomplaint is there fried rice is to land,it needs some more flavoring it's like eating white rice it's barely yellow.There crab ragoons are out of this. And all ribs boneless or with bone are great. All meats in dishes are really tender. The egg roll are perfect color and crispy and flaverful!!!! Will never stop going there!!!

The booth right…read moreacross from us got sat with a single man who went to the buffet and returned to his seat with two giant plates full of food. He appeared to begin to choke on something. We asked him twice if he was OK he said yes, and looked like he was breathing, but possibly had something stuck in his throat. He then proceeded to put his fingers down his throat to make himself vomit at the table. Then he started punching himself in the chest, drawing a lot of attention to himself -at this point, he was fine, but he continued to argue with the staff .-a couple of tables who were just seated, asked to move. We got up because we couldn't take any more we explained to at least two staff members that we were not finished and could not finish our meal. Instead of doing anything to discount our meal or encourage us to come back they simply charged us full price and we left. When we left the irritated customer was still sitting in his booth arguing with a staff member. Am I opinion they should've called the police and moved all of us into another room where we could finish our meal, if this was a case of just someone choking, it would be understandable, but it wasn't. He was a very disruptive individual trying to draw attention to himself and disrupt anybody around him. We won't go back. They should've made it right for us and at least given us some kind of a discount to encourage us to come back. We didn't even have a chance to finish the meal. We went there to eat. before all of this happen, I do want to say the service was very good. We were enjoying the food. The situation with this particular customer was not handled properly.

    On a road dotted with chain quick serve restaurants this stretch of Dunlawton does have quite a few…read moreunexpected and delightful places and this is one of them! The restaurant is small and the decor is what I'd call cozy chaotic - lots of beautiful Thai shrines and figures, but then funky Christmas lights strung over whimsical photos. Don't let the "Reserved" tags on every table cause you concern, we and every party that came in after us were assured we could sit anywhere. We started with the Som Tam papaya salad at a medium and it had a perfect kick with the sour-sweet-funk punch of lime, fish sauce, rock sugar, probably some tamarind? It was fresh, cool and crunchy and a refreshing start to the meal. I had to try the Summer Breeze Rolls because I was actually first introduced to this restaurant by their stalls set up at various local farmers markets and the peanut sauce is out of this world, perfectly sweet and salty and a little curry spice kick as well. The rolls were wrapped a bit loose but I love that they grill the shrimp and also stuff mostly with lettuce instead of a ton of noodles so the rolls were more crisp than squish/starch. I got the panang curry medium and I think I could have gone a step up on heat but it was a nice mild burn that let the flavor of the sauce shine through. The veggies were crisp, the chicken tender, and I was happy with every bite. My father got the Lard Na 100 with crispy duck (a $10.50 upcharge but so worth it, so well cooked and crisp!) and loved it, just had no heat despite ordering it medium. I was impressed with the noodles - wide rice noodles but cooked firm so they didn't fall apart but had a delightful chew. The service was friendly, attentive, and super helpful with suggestions on heat level since we hadn't been before and didn't know if they pulled their punches (they don't, so start at a level below what you usually get elsewhere). We're now on a quest to eat our way through the menu!

    We have been ordering to go food from here for years. We stay at a nearby hotel and it's super…read moreconvenient to pickup the food. Tonight we had the "winter pockets" (crab rangoon) and chicken pad Thai. The pockets were a lot smaller than they were a few months ago. Taste was good. Probably wouldn't order them again. Chicken pad Thai did not have peanuts or bean sprouts ?? This seemed odd to us. It was not the best pad Thai we have ever had. It wasn't the worst either. I ordered medium spicy and the food as not spicy at all. Overall, we were disappointed. Next time we will probably try a different restaurant.
