    The food is always fantastic. Never had a complaint with the taste or anything of the sort. I'd suggest calling ahead and giving them 10-15 minutes to have the food done.

    Fried rice

    At first I was worried because there were a lot of people waiting for their food, but I was pleas surprised to receive good customer service and the food was exceptional. I ordered sesame chicken and friend rice and a drink and it was like $17.

    Unsure of what I may be eating , But I doubt that it's beef. I have never chewed a piece of meat as long as it would take me to walk my dog. Inedible to say the least. I gave them another try even after the feathers on my wings, but this takes the cake. No...ruins my taste for cake.

    A no no!

    Things you should never see at an eating establishment: Food being prepared out in the open on a table. China Inn it was nice, but it's over. You know better than that. Smh! I used to love, love China Inn. It was your typical affordable Chinese takeout place, and the husband and I would stop by there a couple a times a month. However, one day I saw one of their staff or owners (not sure) preparing dumplings on one of the eating tables reserved for customers, out in the open. I was so mortified that I had to snap a pic. To some people preparing dumplings on a table may not be a big deal, but I'm sure in food handling 101 that is a no no. You can't prepare food on a table without any type of covering that many people have eaten on, and you can't just prepare food and walk away from it unattended with no regard that a customer could do something to it. Sadly, now I have to find a new neighborhood Chinese takeout.

    I like the egg rolls. Everything else has been kind of bland or greasy. I prefer to drive up to Floyd Road to Star East.

    Located in the Kroger shopping center on Floyd Road sits Star East, a run-of-the-mill…read moretake-out/delivery/dine-in (6 tables) Chinese restaurant...and don't get me wrong, "run of the mill" is not an insult! Star East is a consistent, CHEAP, conveniently located spot that serves decent quality food in hefty portions at a fantastic price! We ended up at Star East after calling to place a take out order. If you don't want to call in, you can also place your order online or arrive, order and wait. When we placed our order, they told us about 20 minutes until it would be ready, we gave it an extra 5 minutes and when we arrived we only had to wait a very short time before they handed us our order. Service - They were slammed! But, they did not let that affect their level of service. From the phone to the counter, they were pleasant, helpful and friendly. No complaints at all from a service level! Decor/Interior - This was the only "meh" part of the experience. The place was run down and in need of a deep cleaning and a tad bit of updating. From the bleached out menu photos to the outdated artwork, worn seating/tables to the dirty floors...while I don't expect P.F Changs level decor, I do expect the place to be somewhat kept up with. Food - Solid...and did I mention CHEAP?! I was feeding a family of four, so we ordered a few different things, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed! Three of us wanted Won Ton soup, so we ended up getting (2) quarts, which are only $2.95 each! We all ended up eating (1), the other hit the fridge for later. For our meals three of us went with the dinner combinations, which range between $7.50 - $8.65 and all come with protein of choice, white or fried rice and an egg roll. Respectively, we had the Sesame chicken, General Tsao's chicken and Broccoli and Beef. The fourth had Shrimp fried rice, which for a small was only $4.95. We all ate for around $35.00, and it was hot, portioned on the heavy side and of great quality! Outside of the worn interior, my only other gripe is the take out containers they use. If this isnt a first world problem, I dont know what is...but they have foil based containers, so they are not microwaveable. I know, I know...get over myself. But, I would be remiss if I didn't say it! Overall, we all really enjoyed our meal from Star East! While we live in Smyrna, this place isnt too far and will certainly be on our "go-to's in the future!

    I'm so glad someone finally said how RUDE the owner is! Had the same bad experience as the woman…read morefrom a year ago! The owner was extremely rude, and condescending! Who do she think she is? Does she know that Chinese restaurants in this area are a dime a dozen? I had been patronizing this place for over 20 years! I remember when she opened that restaurant!

    Really like this place. Came on my way home from Dragon Con and glad I did. Got the salt and pepper…read morecuddlefish and the mapo tofu. Both dishes were very good. The cuddle fish was well fried and very crispy, the sauce that came with it tied everything together. Little sweet, little spicy, little hot of twang. Was amazing. Mapo tofu was extremely good, was exactly what I wanted after a long day. Smooth tofu, lots of spicy and tingly goodness, and the rice with it was perfect. Service was good, was really quick for pick up. And the place is super clean and really well spaced out inside. I would dine in here if I could have. I will be back for sure the next time I'm in the area.

    I came here after visiting the botanical garden, and I was HUNGRY…read more I ordered Grandma's Noodles ($9), the scallion bubble pancake ($5), cumin lamb ($12), and dry fried eggplant ($11). Everything was DELICIOUS. The scallion bubble pancake came out HOT, like hurt-to-touch HOT. It was crispy and airy. It was served with a side of mild curry sauce. The noodles, lamb, and eggplant came out hot temperature-wise as well, but they were also hot spice-wise, especially the cumin lamb. The spice levels cleared my sinuses, LOL. But though I struggled with the spice, I kept on eating because all of the dishes were delicious and flavorful. The tender lamb was served on little skewers. The dry fried eggplant was super crispy; the pieces were shaped like spicy fries. I liked Grandma's noodles even more. The noodles had that bouncy, chewy, hand-pulled feel and were covered in vinegar & hot chili oil. I appreciated the portions. Despite being an appetizer, Grandma's Noodles came out on a large plate, and for being small plates, the eggplant and lamb were pretty filling. The service was also friendly and attentive. My food came out quick, and the staff constantly kept my glass of water filled. My only annoyance was the $1 charge for the bowl of white rice, but the food and service more than made up for that small, inexpensive annoyance.
