“China Star in Englewood, Ohio, is a laid-back local spot that delivers exactly what you expect from a small-scale community restaurant: generous portions and highly budget-friendly prices. While the flavor profile during this visit was a bit average, the sheer value makes it a reliable option for a quick, filling meal. The biggest selling point of China Star is its extremely affordable pricing. Their $10 lunch specials are an absolute steal. Each special comes packed with a main course, a side of pork fried rice, and a soup (choose from 3). I cannot remember the last time that pork fried rice was offered as an option versus plain fried rice or just white rice. Aside from the mains, the crab rangoon is a must-try. They arrive perfectly crispy on the outside with a flavorful, creamy filling inside. We ordered the General Tso’s Chicken and Sweet & Sour Pork. In terms of execution, the fried breading on both dishes was excellent—nicely crispy and held up well against the sauces. However, the overall flavor profile felt a bit muted compared to standard Chinese. The dishes were less spicy, less sweet, and lacked complex flavors, resulting in an average culinary experience. Additionally, the General Tso’s chicken was missing the broccoli that traditionally accompanies the dish. The restaurant is a clean and no-frills local community staple where you can walk in, get a mountain of food for a great price, and receive quick service.”
