The best hunan triple delight, and the general Taos shrimp is amazing. But let’s not forget the house Lomein it has loads of shrimp chicken pork. And vegetables I can’t pronounce or spell.. but it tastes real good.

For the price, the food is quite good. Don't expect much in the way of ambiance, though.

Great food, big portions, and great prices! These folks are so worth it, and they have taken a lot of steps to handle Covid since it started. Their Lo Mein is amazing, and I will fight you for the last piece of General Tso's Chicken!

My family has eaten here a couple of times and have been pleased both times. They give you generous portions at a great price. I love the steamed pork dumplings and my son loves the General Tso’s chicken. The Lo Mein is fresh and has tons of meat! They have gone above and beyond to make it as contactless as possible while still convenient.

Our first chinese take out in over a year. The food was perfectly spiced, the portions are huge, and the price was decent. We'll be back!!

I have been eating here since they opened, their food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. Knowing this is a family restaurant is also the reason my family eats here the most.

I know that we're in the middle of a pandemic and prices of everything has gone up and with short of staff. The cashier is the cook and the one that answers the phone and she looks absolutely miserable so I feel for her but there was literally four pieces of roast pork in my pork fried rice. F o u r. And I had to call and ask was this a child size egg roll. Golden China has always been my go-to and it will remain that way. Sorry not sorry

We discovered China Star while shopping and what a happy surprise it is. The restaurant is tucked away in a small strip mall on North Roxboro but inside was cozy and quaint. It offered the usual Chinese cuisine for a takeout restaurant BUT there was nothing usual about the food. First, the portions are huge. Second, they are delicious. The dumplings are not doughy but thinly wrapped and fried to perfection. The chicken fried rice is surprisingly savory with large chunks of chicken. My partner loved his tangy sesame chicken. My shrimp with Chinese vegetables were covered in a spicy brown sauce that just gave the entire dish so much flavor. For a fairly usual Chinese takeout restaurant, China Star is extraordinary and lives up to its name. 🌟

To all of our customers, My name is Yang, owner of China Star. I apologize for the inconvenience in the recent weeks as we have had to close multiple times due to health concerns. My husband, Jin, has been in and out of the hospital due to multiple health issues including a high chance of kidney failure and high blood pressure that has affected his working abilities. And I, myself, have diabetes. My husband is receiving surgery this Monday, 4/11 and we would be grateful to receive your support. I am writing this to notify our amazing customers that we are unsure of the future for the business but we will try our best to get back on our feet. Thank you, Yang Jiang Qing **I did not know how to reach our customers so I've just put it here**
