China Star — Restaurant in Muskegon Charter Township

Small Chinese take-out place - we stopped in & ordered at the counter. Menu selection is standard (American) Chinese take-out fare. Large selection of dishes. Was not very busy - ahead of us was 1 person waiting for an order plus another order that was called in. They estimated a 15 minute wait, and we got our food in about 10 minutes.

Although some of the reviews say they're expensive, I thought pricing was reasonable, especially with the substantial portion sizes. We fed 2 adults and 2 under-10 kids for $25. Cheaper than fast food.

The crabmeat rangoons were very tasty - crispy shell with creamy filling, just the way I like them. Pork dumplings (served with a side of brown sauce) were quite good, too.

The 4 of us split a large order of Shanghai Combo Fried Rice. The fried rice itself was very good, although I felt the beef was a bit dry & overcooked. The chicken & seafood were all quite good in the dish. The large order provided a decent portion for all 4 of us. If you're splitting between hungry adults, you probably should assume 2 people per large order.

All in all, decent food and friendly quick service. I'm happy to recommend this small local business that offers a welcome change from the usual fast food...

I hate to say it, but the place is not near what it used to be. Order was not right and missing items, of course we did not find out until we are home. Had to drive all the way back there for them to correct, only to have more missing items the second time around, items that were left in the bag! To be clear, items I had the first time around are missing the second time around. I even looked to make sure the original missing items were there, as well as the corrected food. I did not think I had to look for something that was already there! I don’t go out very often, but when I do, I go to places that treat me right and have a good value. While prices have gone up, it’s to be expected, the service, and attention to detail have certainly dwindled. So an hour of my day to find out that I may not go here again, based solely on the customer service. All of this was after an overcharge that had to be...

I ordered lrg mongolian beef with steamed rice, crab Rangoons, and shrimp egg rolls. The mongolian beef was hot, but the meat was tough, and overall completely bland and flavorless. The crab Rangoon contained very little crab meat, as they tasted like they were obviously cooked in 'old' oil, and cream cheese, yuc. The egg rolls, though hot, contained plain cabbage and no shrimp, nasty, bland, and old oil taste. I paid over $25 for this order took a couple bites of ea item, and tossed it in the garbage. I won't give them my money again, I work hard for my money and don't appreciate China Stars knock off approach to 'serving' customers. Finally, they didn't have any napkins, as they said we no longer provide napkins! When I questioned that, he offered me a piece of paper...
