Oriental Star Restaurant • EkoCheras Mall • 港城酒家 | Restoran Oriental Star — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Very few Chinese restaurants break the mold from that standard msg laden potato floured oyster sauce affliction one often encounters at such establishments. Oriental Star at Eko Cheras is one of these restaurants. If you've followed my reviews, you'll know I value a few things from ambience to price but rarely do I commend cooking as much as I would in this instance; because at some point, everything is just more of the same presented differently, and yet OSEC has consistently proven otherwise with slight tweaks and improvements with their dishes that make its taste stand out above the rest. I've enjoyed every occasion I've had at this outlet, from it's food to the attention service but let's focus on the food for a moment. Kitchen life is tough and there will always be hits and misses. Sometimes a dish gets overcooked or under and that's acceptable enough if you eat out often but what will stand out when you try the dishes here is how few condiments they've laced and how fine tuned the flavors are to your senses. Just tries are their siew mais and general dim sum, their sets which are generous and extremely satisfying. Of course, none of this comes cheap, and yet I would say it is a fair hinging of valued price to pay for what one could deem a luxurious...

Very poor service from the start. Visit the restaurant for my daughter birthday. Arrived around 6 pm. Want to tried the peking duck but its sold out. Very disapointing. If you only have limited stock you should mention on the menu so we can preorder first. Then there are only 3 waiters who can take order. Two of them cant speak english only one can. The older lady was very rude. I asked about the duck she just say no more and then she left. Not trying to suggest any other diahes. So we have to called the waiter again but with so many other table to attend we have to wave and wave for awhile until an older gentelman attend our table. He is the only one who can speak english. So he suggest the other kind of duck. So we ended up ordering that ( bad decision. The duck was dry the sauce is not good at all) , roasted pork ( it's just so so) , imperial tofu ( the spinach is bitter and smelled funny) , longetivity noodle ( the only tasty dish) The food delivered quite fast. But sorry to say about the waiter who attend for our table. He has long and dirty nails. And smelled too. Overall the experience is very bad. We wanted to have a nice celebration but instead an awfull one. With price they charge us we expect a better service and quality....

One of our favorite Chinese restaurant chains, serving consistently good food with pretty generous portions.

Must eat dishes include: 🦆 BBQ duck with glutinous rice, duck skin was crispy and rice soaking up the flavor

🦀 Tofu with crab roe sauce, one of their signature dishes, crab roe is thickkk and never fails to impress

🧄 Crispy pork belly with garlic - super delicious and addictive, with the deep fried garlic being a show stealer

🐔 Salted roast chicken with crispy fish skin, seafood noodles and abalone fried rice are also superb.

The only letdown here is their signature charcoal grilled iberico pork ribs for us. The taste is good and meat tender, but their ribs are somehow way too “skinny”? 🦴 The portion was 80% bone and 20% meat which was quite ridiculous. When asked they just said that’s how it is 🤷‍♀️

Well other than that we love coming back here for its other dishes and dim sum as well. They have a lot of branches and mostly maintain the same quality. Most dishes can be found across all outlets though some are special in certain outlets (bbq duck with glutinous rice can only be found in Oriental...
