    a tray of chicken and broccoli
    Monica A.

    Service was fast, and my egg fu young was slightly undercooked and tasteless. As I continued to eat, I noticed the rice had a bite to it, so the fried rice was also undercooked. Hubby ordered the General Tso's with vegetable rice as I, I asked to taste his rice, nicely flavored, and well cooked. Well, the egg fu young gravy..tasteless as well. I don't get to this Chinese restaurant much, but it is probably last time. The dinner specials come with an entree and egg roll. That's it. Usually, the dinner size does come with at least a soda or drink. The nice lady behind the counter I formed me that the free drink is included when you purchase $20.00 or more.

    Bean curd and broccoli
    Omari M.

    I ordered the bean curd and broccoli. I saw the overall good reviews and ignored the bad one I just read near the top....I agree with the one that mentioned how bland the food was. My tofu was inedible. The broccoli is overcooked. We started off on a rocky start setting that I called and asked if they had tofu and broccoli as a lunch special and they said yes for me to arrive and notify me that it wasn't there and that I would need to pay $1 extra then that using a card would be .3 extra. Got my food quick though, so I was willing to let it slide, but this food isn't good. Won't be making my way back here.

    Coconut Shrimp - Meh
    Adamal D.

    It's Chinese take out. Nothing more. Nothing less. Stick to the common. We sampled the coconut jumbo shrimp - pass. It was mostly breading but fried nicely. House fried rice - pass. Just underwhelming. I enjoyed the fried dumplings but still was a let down for my cheat meal. We were psyched to see lumpia's on the menu! This is never available in the Northeast. Probably best to go with reviews from locals. It's possible that we just have different expectations.

    Beef & Broccoli
    Joe D.

    Had an excellent dinner from here Saturday night. This was my first time trying Golden Star and it was excellent. They're located on Kempsville Road in the shopping center with the Walmart Grocery and the Wawa. A nice feature of Golden Star is that you can order online and then go pick it up (they don't deliver currently). They're only a couple of miles from the house so in no time at all, like 20 minutes, I was walking out of the place with dinner. In fact, they had it bagged up and ready to go as I arrived. For my dinner I ordered Beef & Broccoli with veggie fried rice and a pork egg roll on the side. They also know how to make some fried rice. It was brown, not that yellow stuff. The food was delicious, well prepared and the portion was huge. I had about half for dinner and took the rest to work for lunch. Also on your first visit, which they knew since I ordered online, you get a free soda from their cooler. I saved that for lunch also. Check them out if you're looking for some good food in the south Greenbrier area.

    The fork indicates where the worm was found.

    I have been coming to Golden Star for years. The food has always been good. My family and I are ordering from local restaurants routinely to help the small businesses in our area because we know COVID is impacting many of them. I placed an order recently and much to my dismay their was a worm in my general Tso's chicken. I immediately notified Door Dash and they were supposed to let the restaurant know as well. I'm giving them 3 stars because this was the first issue I have had and we have been going there for 3 years.

    I think it was okay. The dumplings were good. Chicken broccoli barely any flavor, have tried a few times.

    Says they deliver and they don't. Very rude on the phone. Their website also makes it seem like you can order delivery.

    Peking Restaurant - Veggie fried rice

    Good good food ; good service, friendly service What more do you need me to say to ; I do take…read moreout only so I can't comment on the ambiance e

    On my way home from work, I stopped at Peking on Cedar Road and placed a to-go order…read more small Shrimp Fried Rice large General Tso Chicken large Beef Chow Mein While eating my meal (small Shrimp Fried Rice), I discovered a used cigarette filter in the food. Absolutely unacceptable! I have photographs of the filter, the food, and my receipt. The filter was found in the meal, and I am not interested in speculation about whether this could have happened--it did happen, and I have evidence documenting it. What has been equally concerning is the response I received when I reported the incident. Rather than acknowledging my concern, I was told that it "could not have happened." I was told that the business has operated for 15 years and that something like this does not happen. While I appreciate the reputation the establishment has built over the years, I found that response disappointing and dismissive. A history of good service does not change the fact that I found a used cigarette filter in my food. I have actually been a customer of the business for years, which is one reason this experience is so upsetting. I expected my concern to be taken seriously and investigated rather than immediately dismissed based on the assumption that it could not have occurred. My goal is not to argue about whether the incident occurred--it did. As a customer (now former), I believed my concerns deserved a thoughtful and professional response.
