“ My go to for Chinese in Gainesville. All the bad reviews are insane. I’ve never been disappointed unless I was craving it on a Sunday. My favorite is Hawaii chicken and they have incredible Crab Rangoons. ”
“ I love this place the food is always fresh. The one peeve that I have is I wish we could all get off these Covid hours this is ridiculous. This is a collage town people stay up later than 8-9pm ”
“ OMG !!!!!! China Star has the best food ever !!! The food is so fresh, the service was fantastic!! Now there be line , but guess what with the attention they give to each and every customer we stood in line for two minutes, top !! And yes , their prices are very cost efficient !!!! Winner !!! ”
“ Absolutely the best value I've had in a long, long time!! The lunch specials at 8 and 9 are unbelievable!! I went in not expecting much, let's get real, what does 10 get you in this new time?!!! So I ordered the 8 special, one meat, 2 sides. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The noodles were firm, not mushy, and they were flavourful without being too salty. The meat was so fresh and tender yet not soggy. BTW the 8 included a beverage!!! I was impressed that the food was authentic, and they weren't trying to be anything but quick/fresh/realand delicious!!! It's still a bit American style, however it still had Asian flavors. So it wasn't like most American/Chinese quick serve food traps!! This place was in my opinion the absolute best value I have had in a good long while!! All the employees were happy to serve and explain. So, if you're anywhere near Gainesville, hop on the bus, Gus and get yourself good feed!!!!! ”
“ I really enjoyed this place! The employees are very nice with explaining things from the menu! The lunch special is quiet a deal! ”
“ Good Chinese food. Good price. Clean place. Fast service. ”
“ Take out. Shrimp with garlic sauce, I eat there frequently. It's got a lot of sauce, which I like. And I think the main thing about them is how well they do their veggies. I'm not normally focused on veggies, but theirs are terrific. They also have a lunch buffet that I think is a fantastic price. They always have a wait at lunch, but it moves quick. Since I'm not ordering the buffet, I have to wait, but it's like 5-10 minutes. ”
“ The food is sooooooo delicious! The service was great! The restaurant is so pretty! The lunch special every day is SUCH a good deal, and you get a lot of bang for your buck! Even used them for catering and it was amazing! ”
