Fantastic food and service. Nice bar & lounge as well!
The server was very nice. He went above and beyond to make sure we were ok. The food was not good. I ordered an egg roll and it tasted bitter maybe it don't even know how to describe it. The sweet and sour sauce was just orange suger tasting. I just wish we had gone somewhere else.
Not really a review. Just curious if this was called something like Happy Inn back in the 1980's when we were stationed in Astoria.

Golden Star Restaurant is an old-school Americanized Chinese food place in Astoria. The menu offers combo plates or preferred entrees at reasonable prices. Service is always fast and friendly, and the food arrives quickly. Portions are generous, making it a place locals rely on for a comforting, familiar meal. The building is a bit weathered inside and out, and the bar in the back always has locals in it.
The hot & sour soup is a great opener: flavorful, balanced, and served piping hot. The sweet-and-sour chicken is crisp and bright, with some noting it as the best they have ever had. The moo goo gai pan is fresh and tender with a light savory sauce. The Cashew Chicken has a ton of vegetables and liberal nuts. The General Tso Tofu, an off-menu creation, has impressive fried tofu texture and great sauce balance. The Kung Pao Tofu is flavorful and satisfying. The egg roll is rather slimy inside and very salty.
The staff is accommodating, willing to make custom dishes for vegan requests. Golden Star is the best Chinese food you can get at a reasonable price within 900 miles.
