Placed a delivery order. The food was pretty decent overall. I got the wonton soup and pot stickers. Father got sweet and sour chicken. The soup was excellent. Arrived hot. Pot stickers were good but sauce was not as tasty as I pictured. He liked his chicken but the sauce was on the side. Wasn't the same as if it was smothered on it originally. Service seemed to be satisfactory. Ambience of the place is unknown. read more

Ordered takeout for pickup on Friday night. The ordering process was hectic because the employee taking the order was also talking to others around him while trying to take my order. There was music in the background and it was overall an unnecessarily difficult process. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I discovered that the person taking the orders puts the phone on speaker and there is a lot of noise, conversation, and chaos going on. Service was quick and prompt. Portion sizes were great. You get a lot of food for the price! However, all meals were generally lacking flavor. Even the spicy dishes we ordered were not spicy whatsoever. All food was well prepared, cooked, and heated appropriately for take out- absolutely no complaints there... but it was generally flavorless. Due to how well the meals were prepared, packaged, and the generous portion sizes I will try again in the future. read more

The hostess was yelling on the phone to the back staff and just super loud. The food had no flavor. The rice tasted watery. Over all very disappointed read more

This was my first time ordering from China Star. I had the goveners chicken with house fried rice and 2 egg rolls. The flavor was excellent BUT the chicken was overcooked and dry and chewy. The house fried rice was average. Now the egg rolls were superb along with their sweet and sour sauce took them over the top. My wife had their vegetable Lo Mein which was the star of our dinner. The noodles were incredible and vegetables were so flavorful. The portions are huge and our order was ready in 15 min. Needless to say this is our new go to Chinese restaurant. read more

Food is great! Service is fast highly recommended! Call ahead or just go there 15 minutes you're out the door

I can't believe these high reviews. Do you guys have tastebuds? Been to china they would be so disappointed of this place. Only good thing about here is the fortune cookie won't be back. Save your money read more

I'll start by saying that I haven't eaten at China Star in a few years, but I grew up eating at their restaurant at Parkmore Plaza and at the restaurant on CR17 which is where I picked up my carry out. Vastly different. I ordered cashew chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce, plain fried rice, two egg rolls and an order of crab Rangoon. All of it was just okay. Hardly any chicken in the chicken cashew... huge chunks of vegetables that took up most of the container it came in. Shrimp with lobster sauce was completely soup consistency. Even rice didn't help to thicken it. Crab Rangoon was pathetic in terms of having an actual filing inside the pastry itself. This was a disappointing experience and most likely we will not order from here again. There are better options to choose from locally. read more

I grew up eating this place occasionally, and I always do remember it being a bit expensive and somewhat less desirable to my palette. But man.. this is so bad I'll probably never order again. I could enjoy stuff here as a kid and now it's just stale, fatty proteins and gross Got pea pod chicken for a friend and it's all tough and gristly beyond belief. I mean this doesn't resemble any beef I've ever had anywhere. The pineapple chicken sounds kind of attractive on the "chef special" menu , but steer clear there also as it's just a ploy to get you to spend even more. While the flavor of it is reminiscent of the same Orange chicken flavor we're all used to, the chicken quality is so far below anything I've ever even experienced. It's like gristle/fat the whole way through. And what rarelynfound that isn't, KIND OF resembles dark meat chicken at best. Chewy and ruins the flavor experience 110%. Chicken fried rice is the only thing safe that I got. And the chicken leaves too much to be desired.. There's a ton better options in town. Fried wontons were at least 2 hours old, and were never clear with me on what exact kind of "meat" is in the things... which funny to some, but at this point I am genuinely and seriously concerned lol. I Spent $70 on dinner for this split with my neighbors. I am realizing that I would've gladly hauled all the kids across town to Panda Express over this. I mean my feelings and ESPECIALLY MY wallet-- ARE HURT. Avoid this place by all means, I mean this is so unacceptable on a food quality scale that I was tempted to ask for a refund. Sorry nostalgia, another one bites the dust. read more

China Star - a plate of food with meat and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

One of our favorite Chinese restaurants. This trip has soured me. Visiting at noon when the food SHOULD be fresh, the soup was luke warm. The egg rolls tasted different and barely warm. The meal was OK. The restroom was dirty! Don't think we will be back. read more

Food is good and organized carry out procedures. Food was all boxed and bagged when we arrived. The order was correct.

We enjoy china star every now and then. Great customer service and the food is always hot.

Ordered for lunch Super greasy and mushy The orange chicken had several super fatty chicken chunks The fried rice was ok read more

This used to very, very good. New ownership, must be new kitchen staff. It's not inedible. Just isn't nearly good as it used to be. Most dishes are very different now. Even the fried rice is completely different. Rice shouldn't be crunchy. read more

I would definitely recommend this place. I ordered the Governor lunch special with fried rice and egg roll. The food was very flavorful and tender. The inside area was welcoming with a nice seating area. I would go back and recommend it to my friend. read more

This is our favorite Chinese in Elkhart. Love that they have online ordering. Everything is fresh and hot. We always get takeout and never have to microwave the food when we get home. They have the best egg rolls we've ever had. Our favorites are wonton soup, pork fried rice, family dinner packages, chicken and broccoli, general tso's chicken. read more

The Governer's Chicken is awesome here, so much flavor, i personally order it saying "extra spicey please" ... at lunch time it comes with Soup and an Egg Roll . Egg Drop Soup here is tasty. I took some Photos of their most recent Menu and added them to Yelp here for everyone. So i you want to see the Menu look at the "photo's here on this Yelp Listing. read more

Covid 19 pickup, not ready when promised. Had to wait outside for 30 mins for them to cook order. Food was good

Decided to give China Star a try since it's nearby and a change from Memories in Goshen. Food was hot and fresh but those are the high points. Wife had chicken and vegetables and thought it was on par with most from others she has had. I had governors chicken and it was mediocre at best. No zing or spices like others I have enjoyed. Fried rice was okay but slightly over cooked. Low point was sons orange chicken which had a slightly green color and not much flavor at all. He had one portion and he said pitch it if no one else wants it. Into the trash it went as it was definitely bordering gross. Egg roll was crispy but filled with over cooked cabbage with no flavor. Likely not returning as it offered little beyond generous portions of bland food. read more

China Star - Chinese Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

Delicious food! Great and friendly service. Clean. Very family friendly. This may be the best Hot & Sour soup I have had!!

The food were hot and fresh. , we enjoy eating there , staff very nice and helpful:) ver

This is a decent place to eat. The food was pretty okay, but the Mongolian beef was a bit rubber-y. The teriyaki chicken was wonderful, the rice was somewhat dry. I think this place could step up their game. The service was pretty good and the staff seemed as energetic as you can be when working at a Chinese restaurant. Overall, I think I've had better Panda Express. Room for improvement, but not too bad. read more

China Star is THE BEST Chinese food around. We often drive across town to pick up their food even though at least three other places are closer. My one and only complaint is that they are not open on Sundays so we could pick it up on the way home from church. read more

I have been a customer of China Star for the past 5 years but no longer. Last evening I picked up a carry-out order, expecting the same high-quality, delicious meal. It was nearly inedible--and I mean not even the rice was good. There were new faces, new procedures at the restaurant so I'm wondering if the place has been sold or under new management? Such a disappointment. read more

Food was good but not for the high price. Prices are not updated from what's online to what they show in the restaurant menu price, pointed out the difference they said tough. Finally got through to them the prices marked is the price we pay not the online price. read more

Best Chinese in Michiana! Have tried many places, but this place has the freshest ingredients and the portions are huge!

Best Chinese food around and you get so much food! Always end up having to get a togo box. I end up eating it for lunch the next day.

Great crab ragoon. The sauce that came with it tasted like tomato soup. That was 4 dollars. My food came out very quickly. I ordered the garlic chicken. It wasn't great. The vegetables wernt cooked long enough. The boxes bottom was saturated n soggy leading me to think that it might have been sitting around for a few. The price was average. 8-9 bucks. Overall it reminds me of something I'd get at a buffet. Minus the ragoon. read more

Very impressed with the food here, as well as the staff. I've always done take out but have observed the way they work. They are quick and efficient. The place is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend the Shrimp Lo Mein and Crab Rangoon. Large portion sizes for the money. Egg rolls are perfectly made as well. A++ read more

We frequent this restaurant, both dine in and takeout. We always get way too much food and excellent service. It's the best lo mein around here. read more

This is our favorite Chinese place in the Elkhart area. The food is delicious. The portion sizes are huge! One thing of Lo Mein will easily feed 2-3 people. Not a fan of the egg rolls but that's okay because everything else I have tried has been amazing read more

Love this place, food is always hot when we go pick it up, and even though we regret eating it the next day, it tastes so good. 4 stars for the food, bravo! read more

I am half Chinese, and with my dad being full Chinese and cooking all the time, I can honestly say this is the most genuine Chinese food I've had, next to my dad's. The price is great for the large portions you get, and the owner and workers there are all very sweet and nice. Highly recommended. read more

Food is very good. Service is quick. Easy to get in and out for lunch

Not edible. That is simple. Health code violations are possible. Chemical flavors were clearly evident. I ate only the rice. I am all in for cheap Americanized "Chinese" food on occasion, but I will never occasion this place again. Some of the worst food I have ever had. read more

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in town. Been going there for years and the food is always good!

Great food, great service and great prices. The lunch specials are big portions and cheaper than most other Chinese food in town. Great egg rolls. I love their chicken n broccoli. Not all unclean and overpriced like some in town. No buffet here so it's all about quality not quantity read more

The food is always served hot and in a timely manner. I've never had a waitress that I didn't like however it would be nice to have the old family specials back. Best deals are at lunch! read more

Food was plentiful as usual. But the furnace filters were being changed, they are in the ceiling right over tables in the dining room. The metal vents were filthy and one of the dirty filters was dropped. This should be taken care of before opening to customers not while they are trying to eat. read more

Worse Chinese food I've had. Everything tastes like it's bought already made (processed). Very generic food taste. Would not recommend.

The staff are very friendly. The Food is good but I will admit it is Americanized Chinese Food. The lunch menu has very cheap foods if you go in during lunch time. read more
