I tried China Star 2 and I have to say,10/10 across the board. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're craving good Chinese takeout. But the real standout? The chicken wings. Easily some of the best I've had, perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right. Everything came out hot, portions were solid, and the quality was consistent from start to finish. If you're in the area and debating where to go, don't overthink it, this spot delivers! read more

My go too since our favorite Chinese closed after a fire. This is a little "hole in the wall" on a busy road. Pleanty of seating and friendly staff. I use online order and it is a fairly simple process. The spring rolls are crispy and tasty, often made with not only cabbage but a bit of mushroom. The Curry chicken is tender and flavorful. We ordered some story fry veggies with it. Plenty of food for a good price. Enough for a few meals. read more

Been living on the island since 2018 and I used to go to Ching Tao but they changed their food or something and ever since Covid I've been going to China star and I love it! They're so nice when you order the service is great whether you're doing pickup or having it delivered. They're food is plentiful and the ambiance is like someone out of a Chinese restaurant from 2005 but don't let that fool you the husband and wife are great people who make awesome food at a good price. That's my go to for Chinese food. read more

We have been ordering for delivery for more than year. The food is always hot with big portions, . .often we have two meals from our orders. Delivery is fast. The food is good. My husband especially likes the roast pork fried rice. I like the vegetable lo mein. We frequently order a combination plate. The eggrolls are the only thing I am not fond of. I prefer the Spring rolls. The little packets of sauce for the eggrolls or Spring rolls is a major complaint. It has no flavor, and is a waste of the little plastic package it comes in. The little packets of soy sauce are tasteless, too. We use our kikoman soy sauce from home, and my sauce for the Spring rolls. I especially like, too, the hot and sour soup, which may be too spicy for some. I would certainly recommend China Star II ***One delivery man always brings a treat for our schnoodles. I guess that is an indication of how frequently we order from here. read more

Been here a bunch of times. The food is always top notch for sure. You need to run to this place. I don't just give out shitty reviews. You need to get on this for sure. read more

Dreadful ma pa tofu. A good test of a Chinese chef. Delivery was prompt. Kung po chicken was edible but undistinguished. Aqidneck Island ought to have at least one great Chinese restaurant. I'm still searching. read more

These guys make the Best Beef and Broccoli in town and their fried dumplings are Beyond Delicious my wife and I think they're the best Chinese food on the island!!! read more

This place is the best! The portions are huge, prices are so reasonable, and it's the best lo mein I've tasted of many Chinese takeout places in a long time. Pickup times are always very fast and the staff is polite. read more

I watched the lady that works the front desk give a doordasher a hard time making him show her his phone when he already knew the name of the order and what the person was ordering she wouldn't give him the food until she saw his phone which he is not required to do they have the information of the dasher before he come in to pick the food up very unnecessary and I won't be eating here ever you can tell she ruin his day read more

Was just ok. Enjoy China Star III in Newport. This was just ok. Got nothing more to add.

Great for take out. Food is good and plentiful. Prices are good. My go to place. Staff is pleasant. No fuss, no hassle. Always satisfied.

The food is OK. What really bothers me is the delivery service. As I was waiting for my small order to arrive it got to be about 20 minutea past the anticipated delivery time. I was just getting ready to call when my phone rang. I thought it might be the delivery driver, but was shocked when it was a gentleman that lives down the street from me that I don't know. He explained that he had my food as it was delivered to him and he accepted as he was also waiting for chinese delivery. The only way he was able to let me know was the fact that my number and address was on the reciept. We called to report the situation to the restaraunt and they asked if we got our food. We told them, "Yes, but that's not the point. It was delivered to a wrong address, handled by somebody else and brought into their house." Their response was,"Well, you got your food." Fantastic response folks. Thanks but no thanks. This is the last time we will ne ordering from China Star 2. read more

Monday night, held hostage in a hotel, and driving around and the wife and I have the craving for take out Chinese. Saw this place on Yelp and decided to try it. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun (Beef with Wide Chinese Noodles, stir fried in a soy sauce, usually with green onions), Steamed Dumplings, and the wife ordered Hot & Sour Soup. The food was ready in about 10 minutes and was ready when we arrived at the location which is near the Holiday Inn Express. The interior is your standard take out Chinese Joint with a few tables and chairs with the same decor you have probably seen in others. The lady behind the counter was really nice and I had no problem with the service. The Beef Chow Fun wasn't bad, it wasn't the best I've had, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't memorable, but its take out Chinese, not Forgotten City. The only complaint I had was the Chow Fun had carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and cabbage in it like a stir fry. Seemed a little odd from what I'm used to overseas. The steamed dumplings rock that super thick wrapper that is popular in the USA, which I don't care for too much. The dumplings are basically huge steamed meat bombs and an order comes with 8 and the dipping sauce isn't bad. They hit the spot but like the Chow Fun, not great, not bad, edible and filling. The wife did not like the Hot & Sour Soup that much, honestly, I can't stand the stuff myself at all. I think my dishes were better than her's but our palettes are completely different. Worth getting if you are at the Holiday Inn Express and stuck and not wanting to venture out. read more

Well, I'm staying in the area for a couple months, and really had a craving for some Chinese. As we all know, it can be hard to find a good spot thats reliable. This seemed to have a "love-it-or-hate-it" amount of reviews, so I figured what the hell, I'll give it a shot I ordered a General Tso combo (extra spicy) with pork fried rice, and an order of fried dumplings. The chicken, as noted by a few other yelpers had a lot of breading. It seemed to be limited to the smaller pieces, so not a huge deal. The chicken was hot and moist, and there was plenty of sauce, but it was not spicy at all. The dumplings appeared to be commercially made, and while slightly pan fried, they really lacked the crunch I'm used to. I phoned in my order, and picked it up in the restaurant. My order wasn't ready when I arrived, so I paid and took a seat while I waited. The tables all seemed to need a good wiping down, and mine was slightly stickey. I wouldn't suggest dining in. Overall, the food was decent, but I think I'd try another spot before I went back here. read more

One of my absolute favorite Chinese restaurants. I haven't tried a single thing I didn't like. I love their sweet and sour chicken but their beef with broccoli is NEXT LEVEL. Legitimately the best beef with broccoli I've ever had, and it tastes even better the next day for leftovers! How is that possible? The broccoli is always cooked perfectly - it isn't soggy like most other places and has a the perfect amount of crunch. Their beef lo mein noodles are fantastic as well. Love this place. read more

I ordered the Sesame Chicken Combo Plate. Huge portion, hot and crispy, well flavored, and cheap! The egg roll was out of this world too. Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. read more

We have tried this place 3 times now. The food is great. And the portions are very large. We tried the sesame chicken and I love it. It has a great spice at the end. The pork fried rice is great. It's our go to place for takeout Chinese food from here on. read more

They always provide fresh, hot and delicious food to us in a timely manner and are very polite. We tried other places and they were awful by comparison. Sticking with our China Star 2 read more

Mediocre. Asked if cream cheese wontons had crab and was told no, ordered them and it's a good thing I checked- they did. Beef tastes off, which left us suspicious. read more

This restaurant has great customer service! We are always greeted with a smile & our orders are always correct! If we have a question about the menu they are patient and answer politely! Great customer service!! The restaurant has a a clean and friendly atmosphere as well!! read more

My favorite Chinese takeout in the region, I eat regularly from their lunch special menu. Good prices, large portions, flavorful sauces - their kitchen knows what it's doing. Of special interest these days, they recently reopened after shutting down due to the pandemic. I have to say I am more impressed with their modifications to prevent community spread of the virus than with any other business I have visited: tables pushed aside to prevent seating, of course; a full, counter to ceiling plexiglass barrier between staff/kitchen and customers with a small opening for food and payments; two cups of pens, one clean for signing and one to put the used ones in; hand sanitizer for customer use; and counter staff wearing both masks and gloves. Oh - and the garlic sauce, rice, and spring rolls are still delicious. read more

Just ordered today, 6.3.12 after reading this last review. I live in Mass. and wish I had read the review I am about to give before I ordered. There is a lot of mediocre to crappy Chinese food up near Boston but I think this is where Yelp can help... If everyone honestly reviewed these places and then also read reviews before ordering, bad places would go out of business...and better places would eventually pop up and stay in business...unfortunately this is not one of those better places. The Good The Pork Fried Rice was really good-it saved the meal. Don't get me wrong, it's greasy, but it has fresh onions and ample pork for flavoring. If I lived close by I would just get this rice a few times a year. The Bad Chicken Fingers are so over battered that one piece barely had any chicken in it at all. I love Chicken Fingers, but these were 85% barely eddible but 15% of the fingers were passable. It's weird that they weren't all bad, but 85% is a terrible ratio. Boneless Spareribs. A little of it was ok, but most of it seemed overcooked and/or way too fatty even by spareribs The Ugly The battered shrimp were gross. The health dept should check these out...no redeeming part. The Wontons have meat in them, which I guess is how some places do them. I am not huge on Wontons but this place just seems to put way to much batter on everything and the meat tastes like anchovies (not good). We saved the egg rolls if we get starving. I think it will take some serious hunger to return for left overs. This place was so crappy I almost returned the food...or attempted to. read more

I was there and got the dinner combo egg foo young with egg roll and it was nothing to write home about.. It wasn't clean enough for me, I think the employees had family hanging around the tables and one person in particular that kept on hacking and clearing his throat, it just grossing me out. I can't recommend this place. read more

China Star II - Chinese Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Very good Chinese take-out food. I've been going here for a couple of years. But last night, I came across something very special. How could a Roast Pork Egg-Foo Young Combination plate be something to get excited about. I've probably had this dish from scores and scores of chinese restaurants over the course of a lifetime. But last night was the first time I got it from China Star in Middletown, RI. It was simply the best I've ever had BY FAR. As I've said, how could this be? Especially for someone who has cooked chinese food for about 40 years? It was definitely a different taste than what I expected. I think the roast pork was one of the key differences. Maybe just a hint of Five-Spice powder? At any rate, I cannot recommend this highly enough. I know it sounds crazy. Egg-Foo Young! But you should definitely give it a try. read more

In terms of Chinese Food in Middletown, this place is the best. Of the handful of times I've been, here, they have never gotten my order wrong. The food comes out hot and they are are the only Chinese food restaurant in the area that uses enclosed plastic containers so those the food doesn't leak all over the place. Their servings are generous, with two small orders too much for a grown man, and two large orders perfect for three. Their customer service is professional - maybe too straightforward - but nothing wrong with that when you get your food on time. Check this place out! read more

This place is a hidden treasure, prices are so low, and food is fast, fresh, and delicious. Have been multiple times and never let down. Owners/ managers are always friendly and attentive. Place is the real deal, may not look like much but their food says otherwise. read more

Ordered the orange chicken and beef fried rice chicken with peppers and onions with lo mein and egg rolls everything was amazing. fresh and so much flavor probably our new go to. read more

Just moved into this area and I like this Chinese take out better than the local competitors. This is the go to spot.

This is our go to take out place. The portions are great, delivery is always fast and friendly and the food is yummy. They will specialize your order of no spice, medium spice and hot hot hot. While we don't stray too far from the basics of Chinese delivery(which is why I only gave it 4 stars), everything we have tried is good. read more

Ordered a 10 piece crab Rangoon from this place was only given six and ordered a 2 liter which is almost 3$ and was given three cans which is less than half the amount. Food had been sitting around for awhile and wasn't hot when it got to me. read more

My son and i have been eating here for 11 years, both in house and delivery. We love the people, we love the food, and when we get food delivered, they even bring treats for our dog! For real! We would never, ever eat anywhere else, we dont eat anywhere else, and i suggest to anyone who wants a simple, really good meal, well, come to "our" China Star 2 in Middletown! And remember, we live in a tourist town, there are lots of other places, but in 11 years, we found the BEST, and stuck with it! read more

Sadly, the worst Chinese fare that I've had. The service was excellent as the food came extremely fast but at the cost that the house fried rice had the texture and flavor that it was previously refrigerated and the tossed in a hot pan to reheat. Most all the ingredients lacked flavor and luster. The BBQ Beef on a stick came plentiful but didn't look anything like the juicy photograph above the counter. Plenty of left over... left on the table. read more

This place is right near my boyfriend's place. It is pretty good. Chicken and broccoli is good with good amount of chicken and sauce is good. Def my local go to for chinese. read more

Definitely my go to place for Chinese food in the area. Looks kind of run down from the outside but I promise I've never had Chinese food from here that wasn't great and you can actually see them cooking the food from the counter. I live in North Kingstown and havent been able to find food nearly as good as they serve at China Star II. read more

My fiancé and I order from here at least once a week. The food is always ready super fast and it is always delicious. They are also very affordable and have big portions. read more

I was surprised by how good the food was, doesn't look like much from the outside but the quality was excellent. The Sesame Chicken and Broccoli Beef were both really good, the pan fried dumplings, however, were outstanding - can't beat the taste of fresh noodles. read more

This is pretty good Chinese food. The General Tso was some of the tastiest I've had. It was just the right amount of spice, and they were generous with the portions. The Crab Rangoon was pretty good also. read more

The Best on the island! The deliver man always brings a few dog snacks for my huskies! They are incredibly nice!
