China Star
Description
A beloved Springfield staple, China Star offers a wide, affordable menu of reliably fresh, generously portioned Chinese classics—from sesame and General Tso’s to shrimp broccoli and garlic chicken. Friendly, speedy service, an open kitchen and quick pickup/delivery make it perfect for lunches, takeout or casual dinners. Dishes are well presented and often spicy, so order with kids in mind. Longtime locals praise its consistent quality, though a few customers report unclear menu/pricing and occasional order confusion.

I've been a fan of China Star since I was a kid, and even at 36, it's still my favorite spot for delicious food. The garlic chicken is fantastic, and I highly recommend the chicken lo mein, broccoli chicken, orange chicken, General Tso's chicken, and the egg rolls—they're all excellent!

I had a terrible experience with the customer service and order-taking at this restaurant. When I ordered the Sesame Chicken, they said it would take 10 minutes. However, when I went to pick it up and pay, I found out it was twice as expensive as listed on the menu. I mentioned that I had ordered the Sesame Chicken, which comes with an egg roll, but they insisted I had ordered the dinner portion. I argued that I simply ordered the Sesame Chicken. They just need to make it clear on their menu!
First visit, pleasantly surprised.
I have been going to China Star for over 20 years now, which is an absolutely wild realization. General Tso’s lovers, I dare you to find any Chinese place in Springfield or beyond that serves better General Tso’s. I’ll wait. I don’t think you will find any better.
