Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Great service! Very fast and friendly. They accommodated my additions to the entree I ordered. Fresh ingredients and very flavorful.

I'm still in search for amazing take-out in the "VALley" (Villa Park, Addison, Lombard area) and I find China Star just OK. I do love the friendly and smiley service. The menu is pretty large but boasts the traditional Americanized Chinese fare--fried rice, chow meins, lo meins, sweet and sours and the like. There are some less mainstreamed fare like Szechuan green beans and salt and pepper shrimp. Some tofu dishes on the menu which is also a bonus. Take a pass on the Sesame chicken, it was pretty soggy and you can get much better from the fast food panda. I did like their BBQ Pork fried rice--not greasy and lots of bits of pork, I also liked their Shrimp Pan Fried Noodles--again, not greasy, lots of shrimp, noodles cooked well, great flavor. I wished there was more veggies but that's just personal choice. The Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoon were very good too, crispy and not overly greasy. I don't know what it is about living in the VAL-ley, but the Kung Pao Chicken is always mild, even when we ask for spicy. And here, even though I confirmed "spicy" it was still pretty mild. Good thing we always have Sriracha in the house. All in all, a great deal for huge amounts of food. There's a liquor store 2 doors down if you need something to do with your noodles.

We work nearby and order from China Star at least once a week. I am a big fan of the General Tso chicken and all my co workers love their shrimp dishes. Never had a problem there.

Sometimes I'm guilty of writing the phrase "Well, I wanted to like it..." in my reviews, but come on. Let's just agree to banish that, because if you're spending your hard earned money somewhere, can we agree that you probably wanted to like it? Good, now that we got that out of the way.... I WANTED to like China Star. Really I did. But I um.. just didn't. Great in concept because it was one of the only places that would deliver to my work but the food wasn't as good as my go-to place back home. I had an order of pot stickers and the lunch special of General Tso's chicken (which includes fried rice and an eggroll.) Let's start with the fact that this food is ENORMOUS and will last me, minimally, three meals. I got my money's worth, that's for sure. Pot stickers- extremely huge, probably double the size that I'm used to. The pot stickers themselves were really good but I tasted an overwhelming amount of lemon. Not sure if that came from the dumplings themselves or from the dipping sauce, but it was too much. They also gave me an ungodly small amount of dipping sauce for the amount of potstickers they gave me. General Tso's- the lady on the phone warned me that it would be spicy. They always do, but it never seems spicy. Theirs actually does have a nice amount of kick to it. This was probably the best part of it. Fried rice- seemed bland even with soy sauce. Not sure why, but there wasn't enough flavor to it for my liking. Overall food wise, I think that the execution could have been a little bit better, but it wasn't horrible either. The best part of the meal was the chicken. The delivery driver and the woman on the phone were both really nice, so it made the $3.00 delivery fee extremely worth it.

Quick service and good food in this small strip mall carry out place. They ask you ow spicy you want the orange chicken which is a good thing. The strip mall is pretty dilapidated and this place it not going to rival anyplace in Chinatown but it does its job when you want something else besides the usual fast food corporate chains.

I still have not found a favorite Chinese food place in the West Suburbs. China Star is my favorite place in Lombard. The prices are decent, there is enough food for leftovers, and the food is consistently decent. There is hardly ever a long wait, the people who work there understand me when I speak to them, and they are polite. The food isn't anything to write home about but it is good.
(3)Abe I.
I don't understand how this place has such bad ratings. I never had a problem with their food or service. The dining area is divey but their vegetable chop suey and vegetable fried rice are both really good and reasonably priced ! I wish they weren't stingy with their sauces though :/

The China Star, it is what it is, a Chinese takeout spot next to a liqour store in a Strip mall, with that siad, the food is descent, it's not going to win any awards, but you get a nice portion for a decent price, the place looks clean. Honeslty I should give it a 5 star just cause it is as good as it gets around this area, when it comes to price, quality, and taste, But I can't cause well I go to China town every chance I get so, bottom line if you want some decent Chinese take out around lombard check this place out.

You know how home-cooked meals don't have all the extra flavoring, additives and salt and sugar that a chain restaurant might throw in? It doesn't explode with flavor, but it gets the job done. China Star is a lot like that. Unless I've been to a place a few times, I usually just order a standard orange chicken. Theirs was ok, not as orange-y as other places I've had, and it was almost a little spongey. Better to soak up the sauce, I guess. On the plus side, the price is definitely right. They have a great "dinner for two" special for $15.95 that includes two choices from a limited menu, a pint cup of egg drop soup, two egg rolls, an order of crab rangoon and a very healthy portion of chicken-fried rice. There were pleeeeeeenty of leftovers. Perfect, cuz I was right back at it about a half hour later. :D

Yep, another night of studying requiring food on the go. The menu is pretty nice to look at, however, the food produced from the menu...that is a whole other story! The Orange Chicken tastes like it was made with Tang (for those that don't know, Tang is an artificial, disgustingly sweet attempt at orange juice), the General Tso's Chicken had more pieces of fried coating than it did pieces with actual chicken and my husband's gyoza (that was supposed to be fried) was raw. Nothing worse than biting into a raw dumpling. Our meal came with free crab rangoon and now I know why...having tasted them, there is no way I'd pay for them! Thank goodness the meal was relatively inexpensive or I'd be pretty upset. If you want decent take out Chinese food, I'd keep looking! I know I will be!

I ate there around four months ago, and the food made me sick..just a little stomach pain, and nausea...I'm guessing it is because of the greasy fat food(maybe the kitchen, i'm not sure how clean it is...). My husband decided to give it another try, so we ordered the special for two about 2 weeks ago. They gave us a SMALL rice(I keep wondering how do they expect TWO people to eat a small rice...whatever) 2 entrees(GREASY), 2 crab rangoon and 2 egg rolls. I really dont recommend it, unless you have NO WHERE else to go! The rice has no vegetables, the entrees are REALLY greasy, the crab rangoon has a LOT of "pasta" and almost nothing inside it.

I ordered carry out for my first time visit to China Star after receiving their menu in the mail. I was impressed with their menu because they offer dinner combination plates in the same way that most other Chinese restaurants offer the lunch combination plates. The restaurant was very, very clean. Floors immaculate. They have about 6 laminated booths and those were all very clean. It is an open kitchen so if you stand near the counter you can watch the chef prepare your food in the wok. After all of that, I was really looking forward to getting home and tasting the food. Unfortunately, my family and I did not really like the food. My son always orders chicken on a stick from Chinese restaurants. Neither of us liked the taste of the chicken. I ordered beef with broccoli and I didn't like the flavor of that dish either. I could tell the broccoli was old and it was cut in huge pieces. I ate the beef and threw the rest out. The appetizers were very tasty. The crab rangoons were filled with alot of the cream cheese mixture. The egg rolls and fried shrimp were very good.

So, we really like China Star. It's the only place in the area that has passed the test thus far. Granted, we've only tried three places... but this is the only one out of the three we'd consider going to again. So, they have that going for them. The chicken (general tsao's... if that is spelled close to correctly you know what I mean...) is usually pretty darn good. The pot stickers are just okay, but, they're edible and at this point that's all I'm asking for from a chinese take out place around Lombard. The food has not ever made us ill, and we were able to finish our dinners, so we'll be back.
