“We hadn't been to this restaurant in a while because the last time wasn't good at all. The place seemed unkept and old. The food was not good. What a turnaround! The menu was new and the food came out hot, and was everything tasted wonderful. Will be going back more often again.“

“First time visiting and absolutely agree with the 5-star rating average!
We ordered a bunch of stuff (see pics) and loved almost all.
First to hit the table were the pumpkin sambosas. I've had a good number of sambosas and samosas in my time. These were among the best. Also interesting was the dusting of powdered sugar on what was otherwise a savory dish. It worked very well. This was my best bite of the night.
Next up: spring rolls. I was a fan but the others weren't.
Somewhere in there we decided to order a pot of their house special tea. It was really flavorful and the aroma turned heads at other tables. The price seemed a bit steep (no pun intended) but it was definitely worth the price. Strongly recommend trying the special tea.
I think the lamb kabobs were next. Minimum order of three and there were three of us so it made sense. At least until the wife declared she didn't want hers. I split them with the kid and we both really enjoyed the meat and the onions dusted with that red spice blend (not sumac) with a name I can't remember. Lamb was seasoned nicely and tender. Important to note is the portion is in line with the price. If you want to eat lamb for your meal, you'll want to order a bunch of the little skewers.
Laghman beef in brown sauce was next. Really tasty and full of great stuff. Hand-stretched noodles topped with a beef & mushroom mixture, matchstick carrots & cucumbers. Great flavor even for someone who picks mushrooms out of dishes, so not noticeable.
Final dish to hit the table was their beef yoghurt wrap. Bread resembled a pita and was filled with slices of beef, onions, tomatoes, lettuce and their yogurt sauce. Beef was tender and beautifully seasoned and the vegetables were fresh. Beef was really interesting! I kid you not, my first impression was Big Mac. That said, a significantly upgraded Big Mac!
Dessert was a pecan chocolate baklava. It was tasty and appeared to be house-made. One recommendation would be to let it sit for a while to temper. I suspect a fair amount of flavor was suppressed by serving it refrigerator cold.
Overall a really spectacular dinner. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.“

“Been going to #1 for over 20yrs, watched their children grow up. The food has never faltered Haven’t found a takeout that comes close. You want spicy, you got it, you don’t, they can do that too. I think their dumplings and chow mein fun are the best!“

“My go-to Chinese restaurant in St. Charles county! The stir fried dishes, especially the fried rice, have great wok hei flavor. The $8 all day special combos are delicious and a great deal. Annie, the owner, is very friendly, as are the other staff. I can see why this place has been open for 25 years!“

“In a nutshell... Jenny the hoatess/server was a Rockstar. She had a party of approx 25 automotive salespeople show up an hour before closing. She was a 1 person dynamo. Never anything but a positive disposition on her end. Never an excuse or complaint from her... Just a smile.“

“We arrived abt a half hour before closing. They didnt have any hot sour soup but made us some. The crab rangoon was over stuffed and delicious. The soup delicious and my chicken dish & my husband's beef broccoli was also delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!“

“Ordered here for the first time after a google review search and 88 China is our new go-to for take out. The Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoon were perfect. They were light, crunchy and GBD(Golden Brown and Delicious). We tried the Beef Broccoli and Lo Mein combos with fried rice. The Beef Broccoli was simply amazing. The sauce was light and fresh tasting, the Beef was delectable and the Broccoli was superbly cooked with a semi-soft "crunch" that made the dish. The Lo Mein was flavorful and well sauced with an abundance of smoky pork. The fried rice is simply the best I have ever had. It was full of flavor and delicately seasoned without the grease. It was simply superb for take-out.“

“Perfect for takeout. Customer service was kind and concise, perfect for a quick and easy order. The food is the best Chinese I've ever had. Delicious Orange Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein. They gave fortune cookies with the meal, and we got some almond cookies as well that were great. Would recommend and will go again!“

“We've been going to Lucky China for some 15 years now (sheesh ya blink right...)
This place has always been our go-to for Chinese take out. The people are very friendly (though often busy/on the move) and they always nail our order (including changes to the standard menu). Over the summer we shifted from placing phone orders to their online ordering system which has worked out really well (allows you to leave notes if you need to customize a food item).
The food quality has always been great and even more so consistent even after all this time. We primarily do different variations of beef or chicken entrees, spring/egg rolls, crab rangoon, soups, chicken sticks, steamed dumplings, white/fried rices (pork/chicken), and the occasional lo mein or mei fun dishes.
Hope nothing but continued success for them, its one of those places that would be difficult if not impossible to find an alternative to.“

“First time going to this Chinese food restaurant. Someone told me it existed in st. Charles, so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the pork fried rice and Saint Paul sandwich. So far the best fried rice and st. Paul I've tasted this side of the river. Normally you would have to go to north county to get rice as good as this.“

“Food is good, usually I order online and I come pick it up. From what I have already tried the food is very good. Customer service can be worked on a bit. Usually always dead when I walk in so never have to wait in a long line. Overall good place“

“New China is a fantastic find! Tucked away in a strip mall, it might be easy to miss, but it’s definitely worth discovering. We started with the appetizer platter, which was the perfect way to sample a variety of flavors and textures.
For the main course, the Chicken Lo Mein was excellent, with tender noodles and a savory sauce that was just right. The Singapore Mei Fun was also good.
If you're looking for a delicious Chinese spot that’s a bit off the beaten path, New China is a great choice. Highly recommend it!“

“I don’t know why people say the new owners don’t speak English. They do. Also they’re very polite. 5 stars all day. Just ate an egg roll. Absolutely delicious. Now I feel like a jerk because I started talking to them like they don’t speak English. They do!“

“I stop by here often after work, and they have decently affordable combo meals that fill me up when I really don't feel like cooking after a long day. Food is always piping hot and containers full to the brim! Would recommend to anyone looking for good, cheap chinese food.“

“I don't know what some of the people reviewing expected, but as far as this area goes, this is the best chinese food I have been able to find. Crab rangoon and lo mein are top tier. Szechuan Beef and General Tso's are really good as well. Skewers and spring rolls were meh but other than that I really like the quality of food.“

“By far this has been my favorite go-to place for Chinese food for years! Same wonderful owners, and their food never disappoints! I am always greeted with the most friendly and helpful service the second I walk in. They offer delivery or pick up and always have the food ready super fast and hot, even if delivered. They deserve every bit of 5 stars!!“

“**UPDATE - someone must have read the below review because things have improved!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! We love China Star!!!
I have been a faithful customer for years but the last 3 months or so the food has been TERRIBLE!!!!!
The owners seem to never be around anymore and the quality is suffering!!! Tonight I got my usual St Paul sandwich, they used bread and butter pickles rather than the usual hamburger pickles and it tastes disgusting. Last order my fried rice was burnt. The time before that my chicken was burnt.
I used to tip and every once in awhile the staff would give us a thank you in return like a bottle of soda or an extra crab rangoon. Needless to say they don't do that since the owners stopped working in house, and after the last three trips I'll never tip again if I even decide to go back.
Please look at my online order history! We usually order from your store every Sunday. I know how your food is supposed to taste, and something is definitely wrong!!!
By the way, I would have loved to speak to the owners any other way than a public Google review but there's no way to get a hold of them. I've even tried to message them on Facebook but no one monitors their page.
PS- please clean up that disgusting fish tank behind the counter. It's covered in mildew, grime and mold... not very appetizing.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years! We have tried many items and everything is fantastic. They have the best hot and sour soup in west county. The owner is always so nice when we come in and the place is very clean. We can’t say enough good things about this gem!“

“Good food, I got the Mei Fun chicken noodles. If you like heavily seasoned things, I don't recommend this dish. But I enjoyed it, it was a nice chicken-broth flavor. There's no description on the menu, so if I had to tell you what veggies are in it I would say celery, white onion, mushrooms, and some other veggie that I didn't recognize but was yummy. Definitely would've been better if there was more sauce or broth, but nonetheless good. Crab rangoons are sweet but not too sweet. Sweet and sour was good, came with the bright red sweet and sour sauce on the side. I would go back again ?“

“Better than many Chinese takeouts I’ve had, but I’m halfway convinced some of the “chicken” was actually seitan 😂 SO that said the chicken was really good and tender and juicy. So much so that i couldn’t believe all of it was really chicken lol“

“All Chinese restaurants in St. Louis are what I call fake Chinese food. However, I like to judge them by how they make their Singapore Mei fun which is what I always order. Well this one is delicious! Mei fun means rice noodles and Singapore Mei fun has all the meats including shrimp chicken beef and Chinese bbq pork in a slightly spicy yellow curry sauce. I give 5 star also for friendliness!“
