China Star — Restaurant in Parkville

New to the area. We decided to stop in at 11am on a Wednesday . There is only one guy here and doesn't speak English . I have neglected to learn Chinese for some reason, what was I thinking. He called his boss and we ordered over the phone?? I'll review the food as well. But this has been a hassle so far. We'll probably try another place next time. Update 1: we've been here half an hour and still waiting for our food. I suppose this is their first day back since Christmas. Not sure why I'm making excuses for them tho. Maybe they should open at 1pm when they're ready . Update 2: Greatly dissapointed with the food. I suppose I've gotten spoiled by Panda xpress. These seem to be leftovers from before Christmas, just reheated. The shrimp in the lo mein was slimy. They use very thick lo mein noodles. I prefer the thinner noodles they use at Panda. The beef and broccoli was also slimy. The beef was very very gristley and difficult to consume. I was throwing every other bite away. I've gotten used to the high quality beef tips that they use at Panda and this was definitely a big step backward. On top of that, it made me sick all evening with many trips to the bathroom. Its a shame this is the closest Chinese resto to my apt. It's just unacceptable. I'll be driving the extra miles to Panda and paying a couple dollars more, for now. Sometimes you get what...

I had a very good experience at this restaurant, it seems to be family run and owned which I appreciate, they were very friendly and the food arrived promptly. I ordered the General's chicken with some crab rangoon and what really got me was the taste, I'm originally from an area where there's a chinese buffet every two blocks and I'm not a small guy so I've been conditioned to aim for quantity and not quality with chinese but I got both here. The portions were very generous, the chicken was tender with lots of flavor, the only real problem I ran into was that their soda machine was down and I underestimated the flavor and hotness so I could have used a big glass of water at least lol. But they provided me with a bottle of water at no charge to make up for the inconvenience so I was thankful for that. I'm more than happy to give this place 5 stars, it should have a better rating that it currently does and it seems rather spiteful for the previous reviewers to both leave a negative comment for one visit especially because if you took those reviews away the place would have 5 stars. So if you're reading this don't be influenced by the opinion of two stuck up people, give this...

Dared to try second time. First time I was ignored lady up front playing on phone,guy walks in well after me got 5 star treatment. Only one guy cooking she could been helping instead of phone. Second time charged for hot oil! Never in my life been charged for hot oil or sweet and sour. Had bit of an attitude for declining pay for sauce then started speaking Asian I know it was about me to the cook. The low mein was horrible way overcooked expensive noodles pork tasted old I also ordered general tso went straight trash I didn't try feed it to my dog. China feast downtown is hands down best Chinese just bit of a drive. I will drive next craving I have but after today it be long while. The website has nerve keep throwing add a tip !! Don't bother with this place keep it moving unless you have poor taste then give it a good review like all the other no taste riss...
