(Even the guy that got sauteed squid ) I ended up with the General Tso's chicken and it was super crunchy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. It had enough spice and wasn't overly saucy. It really tasted like it was made with care. The restaurant was A bit plain looking but clean and the staff was attentive and got our food out pretty quick.

Inside is small enough for a few people to sit but it's mostly setup for takeout. The portions were huge for the price. I always check the crab rangoons first at a new Chinese place and yes, I ate one in the car. It was everything you want with no soggy or burnt bits at all. I struggle to find my favorite dish, Beef with Mushrooms, and China Star actually has it. Not sure why it's tough to find, but I am so happy they have it and it is so incredible because I have such a limited diet and I can actually enjoy this particular dish. My partner enjoyed his fav General Tso's and the fried rice was so good he ate it before anything else! The fried rice alone had more flavor than most places we visit. The flavors of each dish are strong and not bland like you sometimes get with Chinese takeout. Pickup was smooth and the parking could not be easier. A great find for late night Chinese food.

I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that.

The general tso chicken was soggy and didn't have any crispness to its outside layer. The broccoli was also limp and lifeless and didn't have any of the flavor from the sauce or the chicken. The rice had very little vegetables and tasted like burnt soy-sauce. The best part of the experience was the egg drop soup and egg rolls. Those had a great flavor and the egg drop soup was a surprise because most of the restaurants here have a horrible smell to their soup and flavor, like it has soured. This is another decent middle of the road Chinese restaurant where you get exactly what you expect from Chinese food in missouri.

Their menu consists of a lot of dishes, and some are quite unique .. you don't usually see items like bird's nest dishes at most Chinese restaurants around here except for maybe Bolings. Me and my husband visited on a Saturday night around 8 pm and really devoured our meal. The menu can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you honestly can't go wrong with stir fries at any Chinese restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered chicken egg rolls, which were hefty and filling. For the main course, I ordered the chicken in black bean stir fry, and my husband got the shrimp Kung Pao chicken stir fry. We paired both with steamed rice. The black bean chicken was rich and earthy, with that deep, slightly funky flavor from the fermented black beans. It was very umami, salty and complimented nicely with the fresh, crisp vegetables and well-cooked chicken. I really liked it. The shrimp Kung Pao was spicy and tangy, with perfectly cooked shrimp (the fried shrimp covering was chefs kiss) and crispy veggies. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The egg rolls were about $4 for two pieces, and the stir fries were around $17+ each. The portions are quite large compared to other places in the area, so the pricing seemed reasonable. For 2 main course dishes your bill could easily reach up to $40. Otherwise, The restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and service was quick. It also wasn't too crowded when we visited. I would rate the service 4/5, mainly because we had to ask for silverware, condiments, and tissues separately. The food, though, is definitely a 5/5. Highly recommended! I will definitely return to have more dishes like beef chow fun, the soups and last, but not least BIRDS NEST!!
