My loves. Scrambled egg shrimp. Assorted meats over fried rice. Salt pepper wings. Swiss wings
I and my family have been coming to this restaurant many years because they have tasty food and nice atmosphere for dining. Recently, I am not sure if they changed the chef or not. I ordered lunch special and other food on the menu but they all tasted terrible. No sauce and oily. I couldn’t eat them. I could only eat the dessert.
Shooting Star is one of my favorite Chinese food spots in Oakland Chinatown! The food is delicious, flavorful, and always satisfying. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty, and the portions were great. The service was friendly and welcoming too. If you’re looking for delicious Chinese food in Chinatown, I definitely recommend giving Shooting Star a try. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The Shooting Star Cafe offers a mixed dining experience that is vibrant and lively. While the service is impressively fast and efficient, the food quality can be hit-or-miss at times. The cafe features a beautiful interior and a reasonably priced menu, making it a potential choice for a casual hangout. Customers have enjoyed a variety of dishes such as the beef stew noodle soup, fish roe fried rice, baked pork chop over rice, garlic choy, and salt-and-pepper chicken wings. Some diners have found issues with items like the chicken with black mushroom in clay pot, and others have found food oily. The staff are reported to be smiling and courteous, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The cafe also offers free Wi-Fi and a selection of milk tea and boba drinks, including lychee green tea with warm, fresh, and chewy boba pearls. While some may find the portion sizes small for the price, others appreciate the large and diverse menu that includes a vegetarian section. The restaurant sometimes leaves the door open, which can make the space too cold for some customers. Overall, the Shooting Star Cafe has a cozy atmosphere and friendly service, with delicious, flavorful food and a broad selection of Cantonese comfort foods.
