New Star Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Guilford

2 Stars because a restaurant is mainly graded on its food. First time I got there. The restaurant looked clean, and was greeted promptly. That was exceptional.

The issue is the food, the rice taste was good, however the boneless spare ribs were aweful. I have a very keen taste. I can tell when food is reheated. The rice was fresh, but the boneless was not. It seemed they had yesterdays ribs reheated and then a sauce poured over them. The sauce hides the reheated taste a little but I could still taste it. If you’ve ever cooked pork shoulder in an oven and then reheated the meat in a microwave or a skillet the next day you can taste the difference. The fats in the meat breakdown and it does not taste as good as fresh pork.

This made me spit the food out and unfortunately I did not finish it. That combined with the fact that there is a higher price in comparison with first garden Chinese which is down the street in front of shell gas station next to the Mexican restaurant, which their food gives more portion, better tasting food, and I’ve never once have tasted food less than fresh. All for about a dollar less.

I can’t see why I’ll visit this place again. Hopefully their food improves from...

Ordered at 1:00 on a Monday afternoon and food was ready at 1:10! Got the L1 general tso’s chicken. The chicken was crispy with just the right amount of sauce AND it actually had a nice spicy-ness to it! I’ve tried so many other general tsos chicken from other places and it’s more sweet than spicy but New Star does a great job giving it some nice heat to it. The staff is super friendly and I’m looking forward to going back in the...

Some of the Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life. “Sesame Cold noodle” was just overcooked noodles covered in peanut butter and SUGAR. The Mapo Tofu had no resemblance to what that actual dish is— but instead was gelatinous chunks of tofu in brown sauce with frozen carrot and peas medley. Everything was bad except for white rice. I’m sorry because the staff was very nice but the food was dumbed down for I don’t know...
