China Star - Santa Rosa

The issue at this restaurant seemed to be the old or off-tasting oil used in each dish, whether deep-fried or stir-fried. The appetizers were particularly bad, with the crab rangoon and spring rolls being the only decent options due to the proper oil temperature. The sauces were fine, but the oil overshadowed everything. The broccoli in the broccoli beef dish was well-cooked, but the beef was over-tenderized. Despite competent fry-cooking, the excessive use of bad oil ruined the dishes. The water chestnut to chicken ratio in one dish seemed off, possibly due to budget constraints. Overall, the food was not up to par and left a lasting negative impression on the diners.

Amazing. The service was exceptional, even though we arrived around 2:47 pm and they were closed from 3-4 to prepare for dinner service. The orange chicken, chicken and vegetables, and chicken fried rice were all incredibly tasty. The prices were great as well. I have found my new favorite Chinese restaurant.

China Star Restaurant is absolutely the best! My family has been loyal customers for over 12 years and we continue to be impressed with the high quality Chinese food they serve. Even my sons, now in their twenties, bring their friends to dine here. If you are fortunate enough to have Jesse as your server, consider yourself lucky! Her service is exceptional in every way possible. The food here is simply amazing - we always leave feeling satisfied. Do not hesitate to visit this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!

Hands down, best chicken fried rice I've ever had. During a business trip 4 months ago, it was still thinking about it....yes, so good.

This is a great place for the whole family or a quick lunch. Great service and great food. Put this on your list of musts.
