Local Star in Drogheda offers the finest Chinese cuisine in the area. The flavors are exceptional, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the delivery is remarkably quick. The delivery drivers are delightful, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a great customer experience.
I decided to give Local Star a try instead of my regular Chinese spot. The food was very fresh, and the portions were generous. However, the curry was a letdown — it was bland and too watery, missing the rich flavor typical of a traditional Chinese curry. If you like a milder curry, this place could be a good choice, but I prefer a more robust Chinese curry. On the bright side, the service was excellent.
Local Star consistently delivers tasty food and friendly service. However, a frustrating issue is the deposit fee on small cans. While the actual deposit is 15 cents, they charge 25 cents, seemingly to increase their profits. Prices have also risen noticeably, and drinks that were once included now come with additional charges. It's disappointing to witness the restaurant shifting its focus toward profit and being less transparent with customers.
Its rare for me to be encouraged to put up a review for a takeaway but I have to say the food from here is top class, still piping hot, quick delivery, great quality. I got the house special fries rice and it can be hit or miss with most Chinese takeaways. Everything about it was great, the amount, the taste, all of the meats were great for both quality and quantity. My new fav Chinese in drogheda, 3rd time ordering and the consistency is what I look for and its always on point.
