Interesting and different. We ordered New Star to be delivered for dinner one night via DoorDash. The overall feel was modern and Americanized. The side of white rice was in a plastic container (not the traditional oyster pail box). Due to the heat, the plastic lid got warped and had me thinking if it released hazardous fumes into the food.... The order of chicken and broccoli was different than the typical chicken and broccoli commonly found elsewhere. The chicken....was actual chicken. As if it was an actual chicken breast cooked and cut up. It didn't have that soft, spongy and almost boiled feel that we are used to. The flavor was a little bland as well. The roast pork lo mein was decent. The crab rangoons were shaped like purse pouches (not the usual triangles elsewhere). Those rangoons were probably the best ones I've had in a long time and they were accompanied by a good amount of dipping sauce. Would we order again? Not sure. That chicken and broccoli was too weird and unfamiliar for us. read more

New Star Chinese - Chinese Near Me - Guilford, Connecticut

Very pleasant and Nice service. Very clean. BUT. -Why is are cold spicy noodles actually noodles with peanut butter and sugar? (Lots of sugar). -Mapo Tofu should not be brown sauce with peas and carrots. Does the food really need to be that dumbed down? Yikes. Disappointing. read more

Phenomenal take out! Highly recommend... the crab Rangoon are so flavorful. Fast and friendly service as well.

I ordered to go today for a party of eight at my house. We started with boneless spear ribs, then General Tso 's Chicken, Chicken with Broccoli, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Chicken with Cashews and Chicken with mixed vegetables. They gave me free Spring Rolls. I ordered ahead for a 6:15 pickup. They could not of been more accommodating. I ate some of the Moo Goo Pan, never had it before but really enjoyed it. My go to was the Chicken with Vegetables; that was very good. All the vegetables for both of my dishes were fresh and not over cooked. Plenty of cashews in the Chicken with Cashews ( check my photo) Everyone enjoyed the other meals and agreed with me on the quality and taste of the food. read more

While on the road I tried New Star in Guilford. This restaurant only offers takeout. The cooking area is very close to the ordering counter, so it was interesting to watch the chef cook while waiting for my order. They are very friendly, fast and efficient. For me the food was just OK. We ordered beef and broccoli and mixed vegetables. The mixed vegetables were delicious, with so much broccoli that I did not finish all of it. The beef and broccoli was OK, but with less beef than I am used to in this dish. It was also somehow different than how the meat in this dish is typically prepared at my local Chinese. Different mouth feel) and the broccoli was more cooked than I prefer. Taste was good and as expected. Everyone's tastes are of course different, so my comments might be a very different assessment from someone else. I suspect that New Star uses MSG, which can cause stomach distress in certain people. The reason I mention this is we frequently patronize a local restaurant that does not use MSG and my girlfriend never had an upset stomach, but had one after eating the food from New Star. Would I get a meal from New Star again? Probably, but not until I try the other Asian restaurant in town, to see if I experienced similar issues. I had no stomach upset after eating the same meal. In my estimation New Star offers good food, but not exceptional food. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. They are located in a strip mall and there is plenty of parking. read more

Quality food, big servings and great service, all at a fair price. How could you ask for more?

Some of the best and freshest American Asian food I have ever had . They make an effort to, enjoy

I came here for the first time for lunch. It is to-go only as it is tiny and has no seating. Looks very clean and new inside. I got the shrimp and broccoli lunch combo which came with an egg roll and pork fried rice. Everything was delicious and fresh. Definitely the freshest shrimp I think I've ever had in a Chinese take out dish. Service was great. I went in and ordered and waited about 5 minutes for my food. I'm excited to come back and order with the family to try out more things. I may have finally found a Chinese food place out here I like! read more

New Star Chinese - a restaurant kitchen with a stainless steel counter - Chinese Near Me - Guilford, Connecticut

Sorry folks, save your money! I've been going to First Garden in Guilford for over 30 years! Something there is different, new faces and the food quality has dropped. So I noticed New Star when they first opened and decided that I would like give them a try. Tonight was the night and it was a huge mistake. Large Hot Sour soup, fried dumplings, shrimp egg foo young and chicken with mixed vegetables. $47.00! If it was half that it would still have been a waste of money. Although the order did resemble some form of food, what was lacking was flavor. Everything (and I mean everything) was the most bland and flavorless Chinese food I've ever eaten. No way on earth I would ever go back. They don't even deserve the one star I gave them. read more

Not a big fan, one of the turn offs was that they didn't have the pupu platter on their menu and the food was traditional Chinese food and didn't have a big yes feeling to it. Egg rolls were very dry. One thing I did enjoy was the house special soup. They are new supposedly, but still needs work. read more

VERY impressed. Food is not greasy and you can actually taste the vegetables. Inexpensive comparatively speaking and very quick. Super convenient location and very pleasant, appreciative staff. I've only had the combination plates and can't say I have a favorite. Everything I have ordered is exactly what I have wanted but very diverse. I love that they have a separate condiment station where you help yourself before you walk out so you can get the sauce that you desire. Honestly, my favorite quick lunch spot in Guilford. There is no dine in, like most Chinese take out spots, and think it's great they can just focus on orders. read more

Ordered boneless ribs and chicken w garlic, we threw it all away, even the rice and egg rolls were gross.

New, great take out Chinese in Guilford! Have been frequenting since opening. All the food has been consistently great. Reasonably priced. Clean and quick restaurant. Nice people too. Orders done in 10-15 minutes typically. Have had the Vegetable Chow Mei, General Tso's Chicken, Shrimp w Garlic Sauce, Beef with Broccoli, Plain Lo Mein, Hot & Sour Soup. White & Brown Rice. New Star gives generous portions too. Definitely worth the drive for take out. Give them a try! Photos of the mentioned meals in packaging below: read more

If I could give this place a negative number I would, I ordered delivery through Doordash last night for the first time, wanted to try it, and so sorry I did.... I got a terrible case of food poisoning last night after eating from this establishment... I was deathly sick for hours, horrible experience, Doordash gave me a refund, but the bigger problem is the restaurant needs to take accountability, absolutely unacceptable, DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT read more

Decided to give this place a second try, not very good when first opened. Big Mistake... egg rolls ok, wontons in wonton soup inedible, hard & thick dough, not cooked & couldn't tell what it was filled with. Soup itself tasteless, bright yellow flavored water. Steak on a stick not steak, but some Knarly meat, unknown. Shrimp with garlic sauce ok, broccoli mushy & clearly overcooked, sauce tasteless. read more

This place is the best!!! The food was delicious, the service was fast, the food was affordable, the inside was clean, the employee was friendly!!! I'll be bring my business here again! read more

Brand new (opened today October 5, 2022) traditional Americanized Chinese - really fresh and good, had Chicken with Cashew and Mapo Tofu, both excellent - Welcome to Guilford! read more

We love this new restaurant!! The food is delicious and the portions huge. Our new go to place in Guilford for take out.

Good food, not high end Asian but a solid take on the standards. Portions are good, always ready on time. Owner is typically on the counter. She is friendly, attentive, and no matter how busy smiles and and is welcoming. There is no ambience. The place is always clean. read more

Finally got to try this new addition in Guilford. Not impressed. Egg rolls were cold, soggy and odd flavor. General Tsao's chicken was tough and more like sweet and sour sauce. Vegetables were fresh. Fried rice tastes like minute rice-a-roni. Pork egg foo young had a weird after taste. The only saving grace was the white rice. I much prefer more authentic Chinese food. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

Ordered take out, I had to throw away most of it as it was inedible. Egg rolls were soaked in oil, beef skewers were ice cold and stringy. The worst is broccoli sautéed with beef, The beef was rancid and mushy. Overall terrible experience. read more

My new favorite Chinese place! Absolutely DELICIOUS & NOT GREASY AT ALL!!! I live you exits away in Branford and where are you used to go? They recently closed a few months ago. I loved where I used to go. However, before I guess inflation they were even expensive and continue to raise prices. This place is NOT EXPENSIVE!!!! We had it this past Sunday as a take out birthday dinner for both my mother & I at my sister's house. I got the sesame chicken, dinner with the pork fried rice. It was SOO GOOD & BIG portion size. Obviously I had leftovers comes with egg roll. We also ordered a bunch of appetizers. 2 of the pork fried dumplings delish as well as the sauce!! The kids loved the edamame (2 orders) as well as the crab rangoon. Other orders that we had were some combo dinners as well: CKN & broccoli w/ white rice, General Tso's CKN, Sweet & Sour CKN. My mother is a vegetarian. She had vegetable lo mein which she absolutely Loved & had lots of veggies.. more veggies than other lo mein.other places I have gone to an even like before. My younger nephew also likes lo mien so he got chicken lo mien. They had snap peas in there as well as shredded carrots, water chestnuts. If you don't eat pork egg roll, you can opt to get a spring roll my mother & niece did. Even though my niece is only 8 she eats a lot of veggies she's very healthy. She alone ate a side of edamame & ate 2 dumplings (she eats mainly CKN/Turkey) but liked the dumplings which Chinese food is a treat. She had her spring roll as well as some of my mom's lo mein. She was pretty easy. She didn't want to order a meal. She tried a crab ragroon but only ate one. The kids do love seafood. They do like sushi, but she likes the California roll as well as the boys. Unlike my sister & brother-in-law. FYI: this place does not have any sushi. They gave us tons of fortune cookies as well. We also ordered soups, move my father and I each ordered more wonton soup. I took mine home. I think he ate his then. Need this to say a plethora of food. They give you tons of soy sauce, hot sauce. I didn't pick it up. I don't know how much it cost but I do have a menu so I saw the prices. There's more things on the paper menu that's on the web site. I know they just recently opened. I don't know if they will be expanding the menu. I do know that it's take out only. You cannot sit down inside and eat at in there. I have no idea if they deliver or not. They are located on Boston Post Rd In a shopping center next to the Dunkin' Donuts which also has carpenzano's pizza. I'm not sure what else is in there. It is on the south side of BPR but I will definitely be driving a few exits to get my take out or if I'm in the area driving by stopping by placing my order and waiting in my call while it cooks. Like I said, knock racy at all whether they use a different oil or whatnot. But it was the third time they've had food from there and it did not affect anybody's stomach nor mine. And there's a place up the road from me that I tried several times in each time it made me so sick. And then I tried the other place that I loved but was expensive and then unfortunately closed. And really was afraid to have to try new places, especially since I only eat it. Maybe it 3-4x's a yr. So I suggest if you like really really good Chinese food you should stop by and check it out. Next time I will take photos when I arrive on time and people have not started eating of all the food for at least of mine. But at that point I was too late to do so. But I will take a photo of the menu and post it on here. Not right now. It's in my menu drawer and I want to get this up right now so people are aware before the holidays with the running around to stop and check this place out. read more

Excellent food. So is their service. Calm atmosphere. What else you to have from a great restaurant.

4.5 stars! Quality of Gen Tso's all white meat was excellent...with an abundance of pork fried rice. Hot and Sour soup was a tad TOO spicey hot, even for me. As mentioned in another review, egg rolls were on a smaller side than other area spots, and a bit doughy, but tasty. The service from call to pick up was fast, (10 minutes) and staff super friendly. read more

I ordered 2 meals online: Chicken chow mein and sweet & sour chicken. After picking up and driving home, I discovered they did not put the sweet & sour sauce in the bag. When I returned, I asked if I could have some extra sweet $ sour sauce and the reply was "No, it costs more money". After driving back home, I had more disappointment: The chicken was HEAVILY breaded with very little meat and the sweet & sour sauce was very thin with not much flavor. I'll no be back. I'd rather drive the extra miles and pick up from First Garden - always had great service and good meals! read more

Nice staff and service with good and fresh food. Orders come out fast and have a nice variety of Chinese food.
