Red Star Chinese — Restaurant in Lynn Haven

I live on the beach and I'm not happy with my Chinese restaurant choices. I just want to start off that this Chinese food IS worth the 25 minute drive. We walked in around 5:45 pm on a Saturday. Take out was packed. There were 2 tables sat in the dining area. I'm pretty sure only 2 people were working. My friend and I decided to stay even though we knew it would be a wait. It took a while for the server to take our order, but we weren't mad. We started off with the hot and sour soup and egg Drop Soup. They were OK. The wonton for the soup were amazing. Then we got the 4 items for $26.99 (what a great deal) and we got the cheese Wonton, shrimp fried rice, general tsos chicken, and Mongolian beef. Let me just say this was the best Mongolian beef I've ever had! It's better than PF Changs. The steak was so tender and delicious. The general tsos chicken was real chicken. Not that grey nasty chicken. There was a lot of flavorful sauce. The shrimp fried rice was packed with shrimp, which I wasn't expecting. And the cheese Wontons were delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the dipping sauce. We also got 2 orders of egg Rolls. I wasn't a fan but I'm very picky because I make my own egg Rolls. My friend liked them. And we got the Chinese donuts that were on point. We had 2 drinks as well, a rootbeer and a lemonade and we got everything for $50, $60 with tip. Next time I want to try the steamed dumplings and lomein. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's...

I honestly can't see how anyone gave this place a good review. It was the worst Chinese food and possibly the worst food I have ever tried. After reading the reviews I was actually anxious to try it but its a bit out of the way. Yesterday I had a chance to check it out.

I ordered the Kung Poa chicken lunch special with Hot and Sour soup and was brought a small bowl of murky liquid with about 7 uncooked button mushrooms floating on top. It was ice cold. I don't mean warm I mean cold like out of the fridge cold. I didnt dare eat it. i was going to mention it to the lady but she kept her back turned to me and it looked like she was texting or something. While I was waiting for my Kung Poa to arrive a screaming match erupted from the kitchen and I thought there was going to be a homicide or something. The chicken arrived and the screaming match continued.

On the plate was what looked like a thick gravy with hundreds of raisin size pieces of (chicken?) floating in it, some chopped celery and a sprinkling of peanuts. Just the look made me nervous. A quick sample and I knew it wasn't good. As the screaming match continued in the back I quickly made my way to the lady and said I just want ed to pay so I could leave. She apologized and the rest is history. It was worth the ten bucks to escape. I would never eat here or ever recommend it to anyone. Stay clear. It won't let me give 0 stars hence the one...

Red Star Chinese Food: A Taste of Classic American Chinese in Lynn Haven

Red Star Chinese Food offers a delightful throwback to the classic American Chinese cuisine many of us grew up with. In a world where Chinese food has often shifted towards a faster, more generic palate over the past few decades, Red Star stands out. Their dishes evoke the comforting, familiar flavors that are simply delicious.

The staff are consistently friendly and efficient, ensuring orders are ready promptly. While I can only speak to the carry-out experience, it's always been positive.

One of the most convenient aspects is their website ordering system. It's incredibly user-friendly, allowing you to easily browse the menu and place your order. While online payment isn't an option, the ability to order ahead and pay in person is a definite plus. It streamlines the process and saves time.

And speaking of the food, the "Ciao My Fun" recipe is a personal favorite – delicious and satisfying. Red Star consistently delivers on flavor and quality, bringing back those cherished childhood food memories.
