China Star — Restaurant in Milton

Ordered the dumpling and curry chicken. Big mistake. First of all, the dumplings were undercooked. That's a good start, right? I thought the expensive price tag would be offset with the quality but man was I wrong. Next was the curry chicken.Now it might as well have been called Curry Onion and Mushrooms since there's barely any chicken in it and the container was filled to the brim with onions. The chicken portion is so cheap. I honestly couldn't believe how small it was. I'd say it was about 40 grams of chicken total. The entire entree was small to begin with but they even cheat you on the chicken. This was 13.99 by the way not including the rice which was another 4 dollars. With that, I might as well have gone to a shawarma place and gotten twice or thrice the amount of chicken for that price or better yet, have gone to our local Asian Grocer and bought one of their ready to go meals for a fraction of that price.

I dont know if the restaurant is cutting corners with the ingredients. but this is no way to...

I've been to many, many, many Chinese food places. I've had it from across the GTA and I've had all styles/regional recipes. I have to say, without holding back, that this place is awesome. It is consistent, reliable, variety is excellent, special orders are not a problem (no onions, +/- spicy, different sauce, etc). Best of all, if we get it and have guests, they say it is the best they've ever had - EVERYTIME!!! Hey, listen, you may have a more discerning pallet or specific flavors you are used to, so it may not be your favorite. However, China Star has never disappointed me, or my guests or anyone that I served it to that has never had it before. You decide....
