This is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in Adelaide. The seafood was fresh, S&P coating was very well seasoned and fried and super crunchy! My husband even liked the fried rice with pork floss though slightly different from the conventional SFR, was still very delicious and unique. The pork belly in claypot melted in your mouth and had the right level of saltiness. Service was very quick too considering how full the restaurant was. I would've preferred a lower noise level, but food was tasty enough to cover up the noise. : Highly recommended.

I went to Star House a few times years ago. This time I went there with 2 friends for yum cha again. I love the steamed pork rib and the chicken feet, the rice pastry with Chinese donut was also very yummy. The sauces came in with the dishes were nice too. The staff were friendly and very helpful, nice and fast service. Big dining area which can fit lots of people. We ordered 10 dishes which was more than enough for us, and a glass of pineapple juice. We didn't have much left overs and almost finished everything. It costed us more than $100. So I would say the price is a bit high. But food was really yummy. Recommend this Chinese restaurant for yum cha.

This lovely Chinese restaurant located in Adelaide's CBD offers friendly service, incredible food made with fresh seafood, and attentive staff. Our experience was excellent, although the prices were a bit high. However, it's understandable considering the current inflation.

We visited on a busy Saturday night. The lobster with egg noodles was very tasty, although the lobster meat was a bit tough and chewy which may have indicated it was not the freshest. The pepper steak had great flavor and seasoning, but there were more bones in the steak than I anticipated. Overall, it was a delicious meal and I would recommend it. Parking in the area was a bit of a hassle, but we were able to find street parking two blocks away.
