Little local Chinese food spot close to home. I never go anywhere else for Chinese food. My picky eaters love their shrimp fried rice and I am a fan of the orange chicken with fresh orange peel. Portions are big, perfect for my family. The Chinese donuts are my absolute FAVORITE. I get 2-3 orders. They are super quick, service is always friendly. I call ahead and my food is usually ready in about 10-15 minutes. Saves me from cooking on busy nights and the food is always delicious! Love this place. read more

Great quality food cooked to perfection great service 100% recommend would come back Again read more

We have been customers here for many years. Last year we moved away from the area and only get here occasionally now. This was our go to Chinese food place. I do miss it for sure. The food always tastes good, the prices are fair and the portions are large. While they do have two tables the restaurant primarily deals in takeout. The owners are very personable and helpful if you need any recommendations on what to eat. read more

Good local fast and easy Chinese food. Prices are good service is fast. We'll go back again.

Good food and good price. Lunch special is where it's at. If you like Chinese food, you really should try China Star - especially the duck or boneless spare ribs or chicken wings. Great quality and cooked the traditional way. read more

BLUF: Don't bother, eat somewhere else! Oh my gosh...so this is what passes for Chinese food in Lithia? I ordered a spring roll, wonton, beef broccoli and hunan chicken. I ordered the hunan chicken because the menu said it was spicy and I asked to make sure it was spicy. ugh. The wonton were dark brown, like they had been twice cooked after sitting from not being sold. They were not light and crisp but tough and not appetizing. They didn't taste good or bad but bland. No amount of their sweet n' sour slurry could rescue these. Oh, and the slurry? Not sweet or sour!!! No flavor whatsoever. Hunan chicken....it was supposed to be spicy. It was not. Flavor? None. There were no indication of any spicy additions such as pepper seeds or the skins of any pepper in the dish. It was as if I was eating nondescript protein and veg and tons of corn starch with coloring. My partner had the spring roll and beef broccoli and she stopped eating her food because it was so horrible. Stay away from this place, it won't bring you happiness. Don't trust the positive reviews. While some may be genuine, this proprietor recycles their food excessively to the point that it overcooked, over sauced, under seasoned and quite possibly worse. read more

Long time customer but it's gone way downhill and prices keep going up. The fried rice is yellow and nasty....why is it yellow? They forget to give you sweet ad sour sauce for chicken 50% of the time and there was hardly any chicken with my Mongolian chicken... it was Mongolian onions. read more

China Star is the quintessential neighborhood Chinese fast food rest Quick to order and prepare; good enough and cheap. This is a real saver and I visit once every couple of months (in 7 yrs) and not once have I had an issue with my order. read more

China Star - General Tsos chicken. Lunch plate. - Chinese Near Me - Lithia, Florida

I have been going to China Star for years however the quality of their food has dropped drastically recently and tonight was the final straw. The beef sticks were tough small pieces of meat instead of strips. The meat was tough and chewy. The Chicken LoMein, which I use to love, had a fish/ shrimp taste. The over all meal didn't taste fresh at all. Service was good and fast. read more

Food is always good and reasonably priced. The lunch specials are a good value service is good as well... read more

Great food reasonable prices. A must visit Have been there 100 times and will go 100 times more

I have been ordering from this restaurant since I moved to Fishhawk and it's always amazin! The food and customer service is always top tier! read more

The food is Always good- consistent. Friendly staff, short wait times. Close by in FH.

There are no places locally to fairly compare the food to. That said it is still very tasty and a local go-to for take-out Chinese food. It would be nice if they had delivery but I don't count that against them, just a wish list for those with busy schedules/kids. Everything I have ordered here has tasted good and I have ordered for years. The Mooshu Chicken, General Tsao chicken, Shrimp fried rice, steamed dumplings, And Mongolian beef are just a few of the great items here. read more

Awesome Chinese food in the Fishhawk/Lithia, fl area. If you like New York style Chinese food this is the place. The Lo Mein, Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup are the real deal. read more

I ordered chicken fried rice through doordash along w/ an egg roll which was decent. But the chicken looked like some other meat considering it wasn't fully cooked and very squishy. read more

China Star - not fully cooked. - Chinese Near Me - Lithia, Florida

I went to pick up my food and noticed roaches on the wall that alone will turn anyone from doing business with you. Then I started to hear barking dogs in the back of the restaurant which is just as equally disgusting to have an animal where you are preparing food. Never will I ever bring my business into this establishment read more

The only Chinese food place in the area, which is disappointing since they screw up orders so frequently. I always say the name of the item and the item number, and it's wrong about half the time. Check your food before you leave. Ordering extra spicy is a wasted effort. They're pretty quick, and what they sell is what you're expecting, but it would be nice if I didn't have my order screwed up frequently. read more

Picked up egg rolls and crab Rangoons for dinner. The Rangoons were average tasting. The egg rolls were amazingly delicious. The egg roll was stuffed full with cabbage and meat and served cooked perfectly. The house mustard was some of the best I've had in a long time. Service was quick and efficient. read more

I had roaches in my Pork Fried Rice!!!!! GROSS!!! They did refund the entire order. I also saw a roach in the lobby on the way out. They didnt even act shocked that it happend. I have pics to prove it. read more

The food was sub par, but the worst part was the feeling of a general lack of cleanliness. To top it off, the lady at the register was eating while talking to me. Not a small bit between people, like she shoved two dumplings in her mouth, then started repeating my order back to me, mouth full of food and chewing and talking. read more

Never had anything I didn't like from China Star. Staff is generally friendly. Love the variety and I can't complain about the prices. Definitely close to home and they are my go to place for lunch on my days off. My favorites are Shrimp with Garlic sauce, Mongolian Beef And any Lo Mein. And don't forget they appetizers, like dumplings and soups, and of course the free crab rangoons with dinner if you order enough. read more

Fast and easy, cheap and tasty take out. I got the kung-pao chicken lunch special, for 5 bucks, on a Saturday! They automatically give you pork fried rice on the side with the specials, that wasn't so great for me. The wonton soup that came with was just ok. Not bad though. The serving was pretty big for a lunch special, and the food stayed molten lava hot all the way home. Good stuff! read more

Good food at a good price. Even though they didn't offer what I wanted in a combination platter, they went ahead and made it for me. Good costumer service read more

China Star - Chinese Near Me - Lithia, Florida

Good Chinese for the price. We haven't had to wait longer than about five minutes but we always call in our order. Usually a line of people waiting for their order when we get there so it must be good food! You may have to speak slow and use the menu item numbers to make your order over the phone but it is worth it. read more

We are regular Chinese food lovers. So it's always a necessity to find a good spot by us. Upon moving to fishhawk we tried a few and struck out. Finally we tried this place and they are the keepers! We know go here about once every 2 weeks and have never been disappointed. Everything is fresh and delicious, service is always super friendly and fast, and prices and selection is great. And I don't know if it some special deal but every time we order we seem to get a free order of Krab Rangoons. At first we thought it was a mistake but it happens every time now! Couldn't be happier with this place and I give it a 5 out of 5 on the "Chinese take out restaurant scale". Obviously it's not a "5 star restaurant" overall but if you are looking for some Chinese take out this is 5 stars for sure. read more

Not many restaurants close to this area, so for convenience it gets a star. It is decent fast food Chinese if you're in a pinch for something that's not McDonald's. read more

The food taste very good! I get the pork fried rice and boneless ribs yummy they are always nice and quick.

I don't know why anyone would complain about a wait, I get my order in right away every time I come in. The food is great here, good sized portions, wide selection, fairly priced, and courteous staff. Definitely recommend. read more

This food is probably one of my favorite in fishhawk. I usually get chicken eggroll and rice it is so so so so good. You should definitely try China star. read more

Had take out. The lady behind the counter was not too polite and the wait just for soup was a little longer than expected.

Good Chinese food at a very reasonable price. Not the best Chinese in town but worth while for take out on a weekday night

I faltered between 2 and 3 stars on this place because as far as customer service they were nice, the food was hot and ready and the prices were ok. My husband liked it, but I have had better tasting Chinese before. I mean, for the area we do not have many choices so it is fine, but just know that the food is only so-so. read more

I love this restaurant! Any time I'm looking for something quick to pick up after a long day at work China Star always hits the spot. I usually go with the lo mein and occasionally I'll get some dumpling to share. The staff is always very friendly and they always prepare everything perfectly. Plus, it's always ready in 10 minutes! read more

Expected more as we've eaten A LOT of Chinese in the past. Passable for Lithia. Will say that the food is served hot and fast, but don't expect better than average. read more

Really good food, always hot and made fresh, our order is always correct in the bag, I no longer even check before leaving. They are always happy to make items to order for my picky eaters at home. Call ahead and you won't have a wait. We've tried three fast food Chinese places in the surrounding area and not only is this one closest, it's the best read more

Good New York style Chinese just like the menu says. Always hot and fresh and at 5.35 for a lunch order in less than 10 min. What else could you ask for? read more

Great chinese food and customer service. Ordered vegetable fried rice and vegetable lo mein. Spring rolls very good as well.

I just moved to the area and my friend and I decided to stop here since we both had a taste for Chinese. Its a small, mostly carry out place, with a few tables and chairs up front. I ordered what else, the General Tso and my friend ordered Ginger Chicken I believe. We went for lunch which is $5.75 and comes with a drink. I think the container weighed like 3 lbs. We couldn't believe how much food they gave us. We are both big eaters and we took enough food home for another meal. Both dishes were wonderful. We loved it so much we went back the following week. I decided to try the Mongolian beef and I can't remember what she had. My beef was SOOO good and she enjoyed her food. I let her try my beef and she loved it too. Their rice is great too. It is not a clump of stuck together rice like many Asian restaurants. The fried rice is not overly salty either. To make a long story not too long, I've been back two more times once with the original friend and I took another friend the last time. She LOVED it as much as we did. I agree with James P. It seems like a waste of time asking for the food extra spicy. Each time I reiterated I like REALLY HOT spicy food. But, it never comes out that way. Oh well... The food is great, great prices, the people are nice and the food comes out very quickly. I guess you can't have everything..lol I will definitely be back many times. read more
