China Star — Restaurant in Buffalo

Old “old standby” for Chinese has gone downhill of late, so we decided to give this place a try. I am someone who always prefers to pick up their food as opposed to do delivery, so being on Hertel parking is always questionable, but I haven’t had any issues yet finding something near by.

Our biggest gripe with the other place was it became too greasy. This food is not; depending what you order it is of course quickly fried to go, but doesn’t seem to be greasy which is a plus. Have tried a variety of menu items and all are good. Enormous portion sizes which make for great leftovers and very reasonable prices. They are CASH ONLY, but the woman who takes the other specifies as such when you place the order so you can come prepared.

One thing specifically in this age of Covid is cleanliness. They seem to have done a lot in terms of making their workers and customers safe with installing barriers and whatnot. I always see masks being worn, which is not always the case. All these reasons keep me...

We have been ordering takeout from China Star for more than ten years. The food has not changed one bit. Delicious. Fast. Clean. We usually get the mu shoo vegetable and add broccoli, extra pancakes and extra hoisin. So good. If you love cabbage dishes this is a must try. They keep it a little crispy and that’s important. We also order sesame chicken extra crispy with white meat and it is also really good. The egg and spring rolls are fresh and crispy. The lomein is delish, etc. etc. They are awesome people. Very flexible and caring towards their customers. They’ll make your dish just the way you like it every time. And, after awhile, when you call they'll already know your order. Love that. We don’t eat out a lot because we enjoy cooking at home, but China Star feels like you’re ordering from family, NB community family. Just read the other reviews. Great to see first timers saying the exact same thing. This has been our spot for a very long time and we hope they...

Want Good Chinese food and Good customer service? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Long time customer here, I've been going to China Star for 25+ years. That being said, it's under new ownership now. While the remodel is nice, the rest of the changes are not. Especially the PLASTIC in my food! NEARLY BROKE A TOOTH. Increased prices, complete recipe changes, and extra charges. Ordered their classic combo meal, only comes with 1 egg roll now. And NO drink. NO sauces. NO chopsticks included. To top it off, the Shrimp egg rolls I was chaged extra for, contained NO SHRIMP! Quite literally, NONE.

It's so sad, as this place was a "go-to" for comfort food after a long day. Now, it's just a waste of time and money.

So, I repeat, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, or you'll be sorry...
