Good China Star — Restaurant in Yucca Valley

Substantial room for improvement exists. The positive is that your dollar buys a lot of weight.

The negatives deal with everything else: Lo Mein was tasteless and consisted of three ingredients: cabbage, oil, and unnaturally orange noodles. Unfortunately your container is at least half Lo Mein or Rice. I regret opting for only Lo Mein by passing on the 'fried rice', that is at least harder to make inedible. Spicy Orange Chicken was neither spicy nor mostly chicken. After the first two bites I started dissecting each piece to find the chicken buried beneath the copious amounts of fried batter. My findings were that only the larger pieces even had any chicken in them, and it was only barely detectable and completely dried out at that. The medium and smaller size pieces were completely breading. Chicken isn't even expensive and that many pieces of pure fried batter should never make it out of the kitchen. In terms of spice: there was none. I eat Chinese all over the country and I can't recall a place messing up a chicken dish this badly. Pepper Steak was better than the other two but only just. The onions and green bell peppers were not over done or underdone, so that's something. The beef itself was slimy in texture and just about the most chewy grizzly piece of beef I have tried to eat in recent history. You do get a decent amount of beef in the dish but I was left wishing I didn't. This was all capped off with a cup of runny forgettable sauce.

A look into quality vs quantity needs to be looked at seriously here. Everything screamed lowest dollar option possible. Please reduce the amount served by a third and put some edible food in the container instead.

At $9.69 the highlight of my 2 choice dinner was the can of...

This place way over rated. I should have been alerted before I walked in the door that this restaurant was rated C by the posted notice on the door by the health department.The garbage containers to the left were overflowing and the food in open trays behind the counter were not covered even though we were the only customers in the place.

The staff did not wear hair protectors or gloves while leaning over to scoop up the food. I found a hair in my meal which wasn’t very appetizing. The rice was dry and flavorless.The chow mein was some sort of noodle that had the similar taste of the rice. The vegetables were not bad.

My recommendation: Stay away from this place regardless of the fake reviews, the health department...

We normally love this place, they have really good food at great prices however the last two times we’ve been there a specific gentleman doesn’t know what he’s doing. The first time we had 4 combos all with chicken teriyaki in them and we got two sauces to share amongst us the second time same thing we had 3 combos, my husband specifically asked for 2 sauces for each combo we get home and there’s two sauces to share again. It’s disappointing that guy needs to go! You can tell the other employees are annoyed by him asking over and over how to do something. You’re serving from a buffet line and people are telling you specifically what they want it’s not rocket science! We won’t be back until that...
