Lucky Star — Restaurant in Monroe Township

Let's start with the food, because that's the most important IMO. It was not terrible, but I can't rate it much better than "adequate". The sesame chicken was praised in other reviews, so I ordered that. The flavor was very good, but the chicken itself was on the tough side. And the fried rice that came with it was OK, but drier and less flavorful than what I am used to elsewhere. The hot and sour soup was, again, not bad but not great. It may, as some reviews have said, be the best Chinese food in Monroe Township, but I'm used to better in Monmouth County.

It is really a takeout place. Their advertised "dine in" is two booths on the side. They serve on plastic foam plates, and you eat with barely adequate plastic utensils. (Well, the utensils might have done a better job if the chicken were not tough.) They do not serve water or tea with the meal, but you can buy bottled water or bottled juice from their refrigerator.

The service was cheerful and just the right level of attentiveness; they do get good...

So my wife wanted to have Chinese food and she chose this place And I agreed I wish I would never have agreed We all ordered combos rice was hard. Food was not Fresh at all Why do Chinese store workers always talking about there, not the owner?😂 stop lying I paid with cash I wanted a refund she told me I’ll give you extra food or I’ll give you $30 credit. I did not want that. I wanted my money back and she denied me my money back. The food was disgusting. No one deserve to be fed what they are, cooking for people in this place I guess the people who order from here like garbage because that’s what our food tasted like garbage and I pay $56.78 and she also said that her food is 200%...

They say that they don't use MSG. My husband ordered the hunan beef combo is allergic to msg. I called and the rude woman who to spoke to finally admitted that the company that provides the oyster sauce for Lucky Star restaurant uses msg. When I repeated to her what she said the snappy woman tried to lie and said she didn't say that. When I told her I was recording the conversation she got nervous and asked for my info. My husband had to go to the hospital and get epi injection. DO NOT ORDER from Lucky Star. I def will never give that place...
