What Bettylouu doesn't like about China Star:
Would have given zero but not an option. Had a meal in restaurant, starters overdone. Chicken satay the smallest portion of a main meal we have ever seen, thin pieces of chicken only 6 bits of chicken not even an half inch long. Satay sauce was sparse too. A rip off. Never again. View all feedback. What Beth Holmes likes about China Star:
decorwise it is not the best, but this is so that eating is darkened, it could not blame, the best satay I had for years. it would be highly recommended. the service was great and very efficient. I'll be back next week. View all feedback.

The food quantities are extremely small. The taste is terrible especially for the fry rice which is so dry. We never eat such bad food!!!
