I changed my entree to a shrimp with cashews and wonton soup. Hubby got Mongolian chicken made extra spicy and chose Hot and Sour soup. I should've gotten some spice because it was bland. The cashews were plentiful so the Dish was satisfying after I added a packet of hot sauce and mustard. Service was great, speedy and compassionate. Ambiance is the same. Just a hole in the wall mainly take out. read more

China Star is our go-to take away for Chinese food in Williamsburg. This is not a sit-down restaurant. It's a place to order from a varied menu and take away. Their soups are good and not salty. I especially like the wonton soup and my husband enjoys the hot and sour. We mostly order their lunch special. We order the garlic chicken or chicken with mixed vegetables. These come with a soup, fried rice, chicken and veggies. These serving size is very large and we often save it for dinner. Parking is easy right in front. You can call in your order or place it there. Service is fast and efficient. read more

Nice local place primarily for to-go orders but also offers a few tables to dine in. Lunch specials today which include soup - Hot and Sour and wonton were our choices. Wontons are thick and well filled, hot and sour was filled with meat and tofu, both were much better than the norm for a lunch special addition. Asked for my entre (Mongolian chicken) to be spicy and after laughing the chef complied. Not overly spiced but now had a nice little tang to it. Note: We are in an area where the vast majority seem to be averse to any spice or exotic food of any sort. Still our go-to for local takeout! read more

Spicy Mongolian chicken lunch... delicious plenty of flavor and great portion. Seriously, $10!for hot food? Great deal great flavor

We order here about once a month or more. The food is excellent, portions are great and the service is excellent.

We didn't care about the ambiance, we were about the food which was not good. What did they do to the chicken? The t xture was soft, almost gooey. As hungry as I was, I couldn't finish my chicken broccoli. One of my grandsons felt the same way about his dish. Maybe we chose the wrong things on the menu but not to be recommended. read more

The food is always fresh and tasty! The general tso's chicken and bourbon chicken is great!

One thing that you can be assured of is that you can find a Chinese restaurant that is open on Thanksgiving night in Williamsburg. It's a small restaurant but the ingredients were fresh, I got the king pao chicken and beef and pepper. The beef was tender and rightly seasoned. The fried rice was good and not oily. We were hungry so maybe there's some element of that that may have clouded our judgment. But, you can also tell that it's the area's fave restaurant for take out with the number of patrons coming and going. read more

Ordering our third time tonight. It's been solid every time and they always have a ton of orders when we go in.

We have been going to this place for takeout for awhile. Hit or miss depending on staff. Soups (Hot and Sour) and appetizers (Boneless Ribs) are usually really good, but my favorite dish (Singapore Mei Fun) is my go to. Every time the flavors change, too spicy, too bland, too dry, etc. If you want people to come back, be consistent. read more

I ordered egg foo young and beef with mushrooms. I liked the egg foo young and white rice best. The service was good and relatively quick. I would like to return and try more entrees, especially since there are Cantonese options. The seating isn't particularly inviting, so I would not likely dine in, but take-away food is perfect for nights I don't want to cook. read more

I frequently use this business as my go to place for my comfort food. I order by phone and it is usually ready for pickup in 15 or 20 minutes. Friendly and efficient service. Seating for Eat-in but mostly carry out. read more

I was hoping for a great Chinese food experience. This was good, but missed in a couple of places. We had wonton soup and General Tsos Chicken. The wonton soup had very large and well stuffed wontons. We're used to small strips of roast pork in the broth, but none were there. So onto the General Tsos Chicken. Heat level was good and the chicken was well cooked, but there was no rice included in the dinner. Did they forget, or is rice extra? Disappointing. read more

I tried this place yesterday for takeout. We were so hungry, there are no pictures... but the food was tasty overall. I wanted a place that I could get a decent fast food style chinese meal and China Star delivered. I ended up ordering 4 Lunch specials - because they're so cheap, why not try a bunch? I had the following with Hot & Sour Soup & Fried Rice: Shrimp with Cashew Nuts: there were more celery/carrots than shrimp and anything else. The veggies were undercooked, but the sauce was good. I wouldn't order this again. General Tso's Chicken: this was delicious. It still had a bit of a crunch when I got it home, which is expected since anything with that much sauce is bound to get soft pretty quickly. Overall, great flavor and good bang for your buck with the lunch special. I'll definitely order this again. Hunan Beef: this was kind of in the middle. There were more veggies than meat again, but the meat that was here was flavorful and tender. I just with there was more of it! Probably won't order again. Bourbon Chicken: this was also one of my favorites and I'll definitely order it again. It came with a good amount of Chicken and was packed full of flavor. It is not breaded so no worries about it getting soggy. It had a nice caramelization. I love that this place is close to home and better than most of the other places that i've tried in the area for Chinese food. Will definitely be back, and their takeout experience was good. read more

We have ordered from them many times. Each time I go I make sure to tip some money to cover costs for take out. They always provided us with generous amounts of food, rice, soup, and spring rolls. Food is excellent and I highly recommend to try them. Lo mein, miss soup, general chou chicken, sweet and sour chicken. All good. I like helping the small businesses during this pandemic too. read more

Very standard Chinese take out place. Prices are cheap, food is prepped fast, and the product is pretty solid. This is near the brewery that I work at on the weekends, so I've ordered takeout from here on the way home a couple of times. On both occasions I've been satisfied. I most recently had vegetable lo mein and added fried tofu. They gave me the option to add $1, $2 or $3 worth of tofu, which was kind of funny, but nice to have options. I noticed yesterday that they have this menu of random combinations, such as chicken nuggets with pork fried rice. Made me chuckle. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! China Star is my favorite in the area BY FAR!!! Everything is good.

The past two times that I have ordered they were both wrong! Sad, not like I am ordering a bunch of food. Just enough for my family of 4. Check your bags when you pick them up. What makes this worse, the food is not bad. read more

Food is always excellent, almost always have left overs (which for the price is very shocking) so you definitely get the bang for your buck! The people are very nice and I have never personally had any trouble with my orders. I always order for pickup and the food is always ready when I get there! Definitely would recommend the family meal deal. (That's what my family and I always get) For a family of 4 it feeds well and reaps leftovers (as I stated previously. The atmosphere is very "Chinese takeout place" centric but its not dirty or smelly at all. This is my go to Chinese place. If you are craving some good food for a great price fast, China star is perfect for you. read more

Gave this place a second chance the other night and couldn't even eat the $30 worth of food we bought. My husband and I both ordered selections from their "Cantonese" menu. Not worth it. His food had no flavor and my General Tso's tasted like it came from a freezer meal. They also mixed in dish with my General Tso's that made zero sense and completely turned my stomach. I felt like I was eating snot. We'll be finding another Chinese spot to frequent. read more

Came with a group of my buddies. Service was good, which is important. We got the spring rolls. Ugh not bad. We also ordered three different main dishes to try a little of each others and they were all pretty darn spicy. The thing that annoyed me most was the food seemed microwaved, if im going to sit down at a sit down" I want my food to seem fresh! Am I asking for a lot? read more

Bad food. Worst Chinese food experience ever. The Chinese person doesn't understand and also she is very rude

China Star's owner is so nice, which makes a big difference, and the food is delicious. Try their Moo Shu! This is better than the average small Chinese takeout place. read more

China Star has really good food. Their egg rolls are better than anyone else's Chinese restaurants in Williamsburg. The crab Rangoon's are yummy as well. read more

Good service fresh food and there quick the staff is very nice I get the lunch special it's like 5 bucks rice soup and a entree great size too read more

Hands down, best fried chicken in VA, best fried chicken I've ever had!!! This fried chicken is NO JOOOOKE!!! JUST TRY IT!!! The owner & family is very friendly, and are always timely and do business well with their customers as well... BTW they will RUN OUT of fried chicken if you aren't careful! read more

5 stars is an understatement! We recently moved to this area and decided to try out this place for our first Chinese takeout. I do not say this lightly, this is hands down the BEST Chinese food I have ever consumed and trust me, I've tried a lot. We ordered the honey chicken, crab rangoons and roasted pork fried rice. Portions were huge while the prices were real reasonable. You must order the honey chicken! They even threw in some steamed broccoli which was a nice touch and I could tell that even that was fresh! Kudos to the chefs. I have now found my forever Chinese go-to! read more

Get the dumplings GET THE DUMPLINGS!!!!!!!! Seriously they are the best my husband and I have had in a very long time. We have had lots from the menu and have been very happy each time!!! read more

Eat their take out weekly. Awesome taste. I'll give them one more star once they take American Express!

Good food, generous portions, good prices and friendly people. The sweet and sour chicken was great and the shrimp egg roll was excellent! Well worth the drive from the City of Williamsburg! read more

Love the food! Ordered Szechuan Shrimp and Szechuan Chicken. Ordered the shrimp without garlic and I was accommodated. Great rice!!

I'm visiting here from New York and just had some take out from here. It was surprisingly really yummy! I had the lunch special of beef with peppers and onions and it was really very good. Even for New York standards. My friends were also all happy with their food. Plus the child of the owner was there eating her lunch and that's always a good sign- her fried dumplings looked pretty good too :) read more

The food is always pretty awful. I've tried it several times and each time it's sub-par. This time the Hot and Spicy shrimp combo was just shrimp cooked in cubed carrots and celery and duck sauce. Not spicy at all. and the wonton soup tasted so bad, smelled faintly of bleach and the broth is not flavorful. read more

Worst food i ever had ! Food is not even semi cooked . i strongly dont recommend this restaurant.

Very bad taste.... Not cooked properly... Very bad with service... The chinese person on the counter was very rude.... Never had such a worst chinese food... We ordered couple of fried rice with egg where the food was stinking with the smell of raw egg... The chicken wings were bad.... read more

not horrible, but nothing exciting. The service was pretty fast. The egg rolls were cooked perfectly but didn't have much substance. If you're into OVERstuffed dumplings, this is the place. The fried rice and sesame chicken were average. Rated one of the best in Williamsburg, but it's in Norge...not good enough to go out of our way for from Monticello and 199. read more
