I literally couldn’t even swallow the food the noodles were like rubber and the taste it was like a chemical it was so nasty i spent 31 dollars plus tip I was there for only 10 mins I could not eat anything they had on the tiny buffet. Eat at your own risk.

On Christmas Day at lunch time, the place was bustling, three-quarters packed.
The service was excellent. The food, cooked just right, was delicious and tender. I especially enjoyed the breaded shrimp, the deep-fried chicken and more.
The prices were reasonable as well
The atmosphere warm, temperature wise, and also in sound. Low level background Christmas music, slightly louder than the generally low level clients conversations. (The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star atmosphere rating, it's because the back seat of the booth I'm in is not very sturdy. I'm a man of 221 lbs. And the guy is sitting behind me, looked like he was about 240. And he wiggled a lot in his booth. Every time he wiggled around, the back of my seat went forward and backward, which made it very uncomfortable to sit in my booth. But perhaps the rest of them are not like that. They also have tables with chairs. And you can order from the menu, or use the buffet
Regardless, you can't go wrong with the New China Star Chinese restaurant in West Frankfort, Illinois.

I have no plans to ever eat there again. But if you don't mind having a cockroach join you at the table, be my guest. The food on the buffet was swimming in grease and unrecognizable.

Visiting from Georgia and we were in the mood for Chinese cuisine and found New China Star. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I would recommend it.

We had the buffet lunch and nothing was seasoned. Very bland and just unsatisfying.

Kid-friendliness: I love that the waitress was so friendly! We always eat off the buffet. Always filled and clean. Come here once or twice a week with my son. Love it.
This is a small, family-run place and features a no-frills buffet and another area with scrumptious desserts (love the mousse!). First, the hot and sour soup is the best I've ever tasted, much heartier than many places that make it too watery. They have simple Chinese-American offerings in the main buffet table such as General Tso's chicken and mushroom chicken and pepper chicken. During lunch, the peppers and onions snap and crunch the way they're supposed to and I love making a sampler plate out of three or four ingredients. There are also spring rolls and crab rangoon. If someone in your family doesn't like the saucy dishes, they also have traditional fried chicken, too to go along with a very nice potatoes, peppers, and onion side dish. It's a great value and much tastier and healthier than you'd get for a typical burgers-and-fries drive thru meal for the same price.
