Star Chef Chinese Restaurant

I am being completely neutral about this restaurant, but I still have to give it a 2-star rating.

There are several reasons for this decision:

1) They keep changing their promotion regarding the red bean ice cream. It has shifted from being included in all-day meals, to only being available during afternoon tea, and then to just specific dishes during afternoon tea. While it's fine for them to change their offerings, they should at least provide advance notice to customers. This inconsistency frustrated my uncle and family friends. Personally, I would prefer to go to Tim Hortons or a fast food chain for cold drinks, so it’s not a huge deal for me.

2) The waitress service really needs improvement. Based on my first-hand experience, as well as feedback from my family friends, the service is not very accommodating. The staff doesn’t engage in small talk with customers unless they know them personally. Their tone can make it feel as if they assume we can't afford to dine there.

3) The food quality is also quite average, especially considering the high prices on the menu.

Much busier than I thought, it was Monday evening at 6:20pm, and we had to line up waiting for the table. Memories of the servers surprised me too, they didn't need to drop down any notes when I placed order. The entire team was very friendly and offered assistance without us asking. Because it was full and some customers talked very loudly, it was super noisy.

The Singaporean vermicelli is pretty standard - has some “wok hay”

They also have fish soup noodle with the same concept and options as Deer Garden: soup base, type of noodle, 2 toppings, a drink and side dishes with additional cost. Got the gingko & pepper fish soup - compared to Deer Garden, it was pretty bland. Pretty generous with the beef brisket though

Big bowl of noodles with customizable options and a cold drink for a very reasonable price. If you’re in the area, I’d say it’s worth a visit!

Clean place, friendly staffs, food is good and comes out fast from kitchen. Only suggestion is to offer more dishes in the menu would be perfect.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veg dishes to choose from the menu, if you don't like meat.

I bought 5 party trays to celebrate my father in law’s 90th birthday and the food were delicious! The trays were neatly packaged. They recommended that we don’t stack the trays as the food will be compressed. Fortunately we were able to lay them out in the back of the car. If you’re ordering party trays, make sure you have room to lay them out without stacking the trays. The staff were also nice and friendly.

Food was better then expected. Prices are reasonable. Comes with a free HK drink such as Cold Milk Tea or Red Bean Ice etc..

The hand-shredded Chicken was very very yummy!!! Lots of table ordered it. It had that “jello” effect!!

The Sweet-Garlic Ribs were also yummy! Nice flavour! I would only say I wish they cut it in half so it would be easier to early.

The Garlic Seafood Fried Rice was also very yummy, you could taste each individual grain of rice. Authentic legit fried rice.

We are so much food!!

Bill was $70 for 2 ppl, but could have easily been $15 less,, cuz we ordered 3 dishes to share amongst 2 ppl.

Would return or recommend.

Above average with their specials. Foods were OK, but some seafood dishes, I think, is a bit overpriced.
