All food is over priced. With that being said the food is over cooked, bland and disappointing. I remember when Chinese food was delicious and already treat. Now , the food is bland tasteless overcooked garbage. The fried rice is literally rice with bits if pork ,beef or chicken. What happened to the the vegetables like carrots, peas, onions and egg???? Chinese take out used to be the go to for a no cook night. Now it's if we have the extra money to afford it. Pizza is cheaper and very good so as far as im concerned it's not worth purchasing. I'll wait till about 59% of Chinese restaurants go out of business before prices become reasonable. read more

Main star was a place we ordered food by accident from. And boy was it a happy mistake. The food was so good and makes us a repeat customer. read more

Will not go back. I ordered the shrimp fried rice. It was definitely lacking in the shrimp department. I had to pay $1 extra for a scrambled egg. Overall, it lacked flavor and love. read more

I stopped by during lunch and was surprised with the friendly, speedy service. Most importantly, the food was delicious. I recommend the vegetable dumplings and the pepper steak! Leaving a review since others have been pretty harsh. Thank you!! read more

Doesn't seem to be opened even though they took my online order and payment. I'll be calling my CC to take off this payment if it shows up. And this is on 4/11/20 at 6PM. Several phone calls and no answer at all. No email receipt too so I assume it is closed. should have put a notice. read more

Food Is Excellent it's hard finding a good Chinese food restaurant but look no further the food is really good here.

I gave this two stars because the delivery driver was really nice but that's about it. I ordered crispy noodles and a spring roll along with a few other things. I bit into what I thought was a spring roll but it was actually shrimp. I am vegetarian so biting into shrimp was not pleasant for me at all. I tried to call three times but everyone would say hold on and I'd get disconnected. The last time I called they said they'd have the manager call me back and she never did. After that I was looking forward to eating the crispy noodles that I paid 90 cents for and they were extremely stale. Couldn't even eat them. I guess I'm not getting my money back and I will prob never order from here again. read more

Consistent good food. House egg fo young is good. I get chicken with broccoli and add cashews. They have brown rice!

I have always liked this place, but now they tell me they don't deliver when I live 3.7 miles away? I have always ordered from there, this is absurd! Who does not deliver within 4miles? read more

Worst fried rice. Bought fried rice yesterday ~ it was only onions and lots of them and pork !! No egg ~ light in color~ no taste and no veggies at all except those onions! Terrible. Main star was always my go to ~ will look at other places. Wonton soup was ok! Egg rolls good ~ shrimp rolls ~ had one itty bitty shrimp in it ~. Will miss it ~ but will go else where ~. Unless you improve read more

This is one of the 10,001 takeout Chinese restaurants in my neighborhood. I will continue to try try them all, until I find a good one. it's a very stereotypical place - fluorescent lighting, a fish tank with a few goldfish, four formica-topped tables in the waiting area, an array of backlit photos of Chinese food displayed over the counter. As if you didn't know what a plate of diced chicken with cashew nuts looks like. The dishes I tried were a mixed bag. The homemade wontons in the wonton soup were good, but the broth was watery. The scallion pancake was tasteless shoe leather, but at least it wasn't greasy. The crabmeat in the crabmeat fried rice was fake, of course, and the rest of the dish was lackluster, with little or no vegetables in it. The plain white rice was gummy, and tasted like plastic. The chicken in black bean sauce was very tender, and the dish had some nice, crunchy stir-fried onions in it, but the sauce was flavorless. The orange chicken was not as crispy as I like it, but the meat was tender, and the flavor was pretty good balance of sweet citrus tang and hot spiciness. The food I tried was mediocre overall, but edible. I won't come back here again, but it wasn't so terrible as to deserve a negative rating. Main Star earns three stars. read more

The food is very bad. the food fell to the ground. they picked it up and threw it into your meal and found insects in the white rice.Buffalo Wings read more

This place opened up like 3 years ago near my mother-in-law's house. It is right next to one of my favorite japanese place Osaka. Their delivery is fast and the food is still piping hot. They have a lunch special from 11am to 3pm. And they offer brown rice for no extra cost which is pretty cool. Delivery minimum is like $10. Not bad at all. My favorite dish here is their Orange Chicken which is pretty good. As good as Saga Wok which has the best orange chicken I think. I love their crispy shrimp with walnuts and has red szechuan sauce over a bed of broccoli. Their buffalo wings arent bad either for 5.59 bucks you get 10 pieces. Thats highway robbery! Id order here again anytime im visiting the area. read more

I have eaten here since day 1 and always loved it. However, I've noticed that lately, they seem to be substituting quantity over quality. We ordered last night. Crab Rangoon has next to no filling. The general tso chicken was mostly all bread, small pieces, and the chicken was stringy and weirdly chewy. It's disappointing, especially if it's the same owner. read more

Always good food and has all the classics. Ordered here since they have opened. Always get sweet sour chicken. Crab Rangoon. Eggs rolls. Fried chicken wings. Orange chicken. read more

Great food, every time! Easy online order for delivery or pickup. The employees are friendly, and the restaurant is clean. Highly recommend!

I've been going here about 10 years. Lately the performance has fallen off. Tonight the cold sesame noodles scarcely had any sauce. Enough.

My favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant. The wontons are delicious and the chicken and roast pork dishes are fresh. Great lo mein and beef and broccoli too The portions are really generous too, so you.can order a small instead of a large main dish. The people are very nice and prices reasonable. We order from them every time we feel like Chinese! read more

I personally really like Main Star Chinese. As far as Chinese delivery goes it's a notch above. I really like their General Tsos, though I try to avoid it to be healthy. I also like that they offer brown rice in addition to fried and white rice. I order from here frequently for lunch, and I'm always really pleased. read more

I tried Main Star a number of years ago because it was getting good reviews. Since then it has been my family's favorite Chinese restaurant. It passed my wife's "Egg Roll Test" (good and crispy) and it passed my "General Tso's Chicken" test (crispy and with a nice spicy kick). The service is very good. read more

I'm from summit and lacking a great Chinese food place. Main star is definitely one to try! I had their steamed dumplings, chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. I loved all the food. Delivery was average, but the food made it worth the wait. I was able to order online so I didn't have to talk to anyone, which was a plus. read more

This used to be a good place many years ago, as an other posters wrote, the current attitude and sometimes food are terrible. I went in about a month ago, and did not even get the courtesy of anyone looking up from their phone (there were three individuals sitting around doing nothing). When someone finally did look up, he threw a menu at me. I already knew I wanted boneless ribs, and ordered a small. Well small does not describe it. This was tiny, extra small. I commented on the portion size and the person said, you get small, that small (mind you he was still looking at the phone in between talking with the others). This portion did not even cover the bottom of the plastic bowl. I thought I would try one last time today. I called about 10 minutes before 3 pm lunch menu ended, but my phone kept dropping (several times, I was able to make the order, but the phone dropped before confirming). After moving to all areas of the house, I finally was able to keep a steady call, about 3 minutes after 3. The person said, lunch menu is not being offered, that is dinner now, even though this was the same person who picked up the phone previously. When I said, 'you are going to charge a different price for three minutes when you know I called before and the phone dropped', she said lunch is not offered. I don't know who took over from the previous owners, but they have been horrible for years. This is the first time I am doing a review, because of their terrible service, attitude, and the decline in food quality over several visits, it is well deserved. Oh for posters who say it just opened in the last few years, it was here in 1999, and probably long before that. Unfortunately the current owners have run it down from the quality it used to have. This is the last time for me, and I will not recommend it to friends, as another poster said, enough. read more
