China Star — Restaurant in Mankato

I recently ordered takeout from China Star for a family dinner. Upon picking up the food, we noticed that several of the sides we had selected were not in the bag. So, midway home, we turned around and returned to the store. I brought the bag of food back in, and explained that the sides we had selected (and paid extra for) were not included in the order. The representative at the front desk explained that the reason they were left out was that we didn't order dinner specials. I then took out my phone and showed her the receipt, clearly showing D6 and D22 off the dinner menu. She then seemed to talk in a circle for a minute, but ultimately said that we would not be getting the included sides.

Upon opening the bag and starting to eat, we noticed some serious quality issues with the food, with the foremost issue being the lack of meat. For example, a more appropriate name for the "Mongolian Beef" would be "Mongolian Onions with a morsel of beef". The dish was at least 90% onions with 3 very small pieces of meat in it. Another dish, Beef and Broccoli, was about 90% Broccoli and less than 10% meat - unacceptable in both cases at a price tag of $15 each.

Ultimately, I would highly recommend avoiding China Star. With the omission of key sides that we ordered, the quality issues surrounding the dinner entrees, the dishonesty of the staff just to save a few dollars, and the high price tag, everyone would be better off eating almost...

I went and ordered food a hour before closing time. First off guy was moping floor with bleach that was so strong and smelled like throw up I should have walked out then. I ordered my food which was cooked to order but when I got home and open it the chicken “fried” rice was barely cooked. Key word fried rice. I first looked at it and was like it’s not brown like it normally is then I tasted it and half cooked spit it out. I didn’t pay for half cooked rice: Like are you serious pure trash. I use to come here all the time and just moved back to Mankato and thought oh my fave Chinese place but honestly I see it has gone down hill. Won’t get my money anymore that’s for sure! How you cook rice to order and it’s not done. Smh! Just don’t come a hour or two before close cause apparently they don’t care. Off to go find a different Chinese place you have lost my business and I will tell...

Worst experience ever beyond worst, it was the worst veg fried rice EVER !!! Not only the greasest but the veggies were horrid and that yellow nasty rice was the worst ever !!! And I've been around the world at least 10 times and 90 % were Chinese, this is the number one worst Chinese restaurant I've ever seen period !!! Number 2. The last thing I ordered was beef szechuan, no veggies like maybe 2 or 3 each and maybe 3 just a couple slices of beef mabe the sauce sucked beyond gross is a understatement, Horrible Horrible, it was even worse than the veg fried rice that ya would think that that's a no brainer but some how they sure know how to make something even worse from one dish to the next Wowwww..... P.S. this is my first ever post on a review that people starting reviews on the internet just saying Please be aware of this nightmare restaurant...
