China Star is our favorite Chinese take out. The food is very good and flavorful. The size of the portions is okay, it comes with more than enough white rice.
They have a lot of choices on their menu. The service is friendly and fast.
There are 2 small tables, so you can eat in if you want, but the place is not very inviting to do so.
But, like I said before, it is a great place for great take out. -

So far not so good. So this place was recommended to me by my friend. She claims the crab ragon and fried crab sticks will be to my liking. Hmmm we shall see. She also said all the food here is good. Hmmm that's a very good statement to make. Let's just hope 20 years of friendship doesn't go out the window because of bad food. . My issue is it's not expensive but it is a little bit pricer than I expected and the lady at the counter was rushing me to make my order. I told her I've never been here so please give me a moment to read the menu. NOPE! She persisted asking what I wanted and annoying me. Now our food is ready and she said thank you as if we needed to leave several times. Like uhm lady what's Ure problem and where does customer service kick in. This is ridiculous. I really hope this food is good because so far the service suck rotten eggs. It's horrible. So I'll eat and come back for an update.
Alright I forgot to write the update because I was busy busy busy but I'm back and the food was not good. Nothing. It was sub par. It was edible. It looked much better than it tasted and I got three different meals. None of us were satisfied with our food. I got fried crab stick with shrimp fried rice and an eggrol and an order of crab ragoon. uhmmmm noooooo! The crab ragoon showed tiny pieces of crab but tasted entirely like cream cheese. No crab flavor at all. They were cooked very well not greasy but uhmmmm it's a no for the taste. My food was flavorless period! I don't typically add to my Chinese food. It need soy sauce, duck sauce, hot sauce, any and every sauce.
The other meals were orange chicken and shrimp fried rice. I was told the flavor was blah. We were all hungry so we attempted to eat it. Hmmmm no suck luck on finishing the food without sauces . I won't be going there again ever! Sorry not sorry -

Really disappointed by the people who gave this place more than 3 stars. By any standard this is below average Chinese food. The price point is nice, but some components were just not good. The fried rice was bland and executed poorly. The egg rolls were crispy but the filling was lacking any flavor or complimenting texture.
The schezwan chicken lunch special was 4 slices of chicken and over cooked vegetables. Which is unfortunate because the sauce was really good. A second mention of the fried rice is important, because it was the worst fried rice I have ever had.
Nothing looked appetizing. Nothing worth going to. I have no idea how it has 4 stars on 38 reviews. -

I love love love love Chinese food. I want it all the time. It's my go to take out order, my first choice in any mall food court, and my favorite kind of buffet. Living in the city, there are endless options for my egg roll fix. China Star has been my favorite spot since moving to north buffalo, they are the best around, by far. It doesn't matter what we order- Szechuan beef, sweet and sour chicken, general tso, chicken and broccoli, lo mein, etc all of it is always done really well. And, they have French fries which is the only way i can get my wife to agree to ordering Chinese food. They are super friendly here, we also get extra egg rolls with our order, and sometimes the sugar donuts. They will try to get you to pay in cash, but they will accept cards as well. Best Chinese in north buffalo!

The food and variety/selection is just ok. The place is dated and tired. The bathrooms are uncleaned, with mold around the facets and toilets. The constant sweeping around you while eating it is not right. I like to go on Fridays but they charge a lot more because the crab legs. I do not eat them. I believe that only people who eat them should be charge for. Keep the pliers away and those who request the use, charge them for the sea food crab legs deal.
