Chinese Restaurants near Pittston

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in town for take out or delivery. Very generous portions, free soda if you spend a certain amount of money and it is always packaged well and tastes delicious. We have ordered the spare ribs, lo mein, and beef or chicken with broccoli the most. Always a great choice!“

“Golden Star is an absolute gem! I stopped by on a whim, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly cooked food had me excited. I ordered the teriyaki beef sticks and sweet and sour pork, and wow—each bite was better than the last! The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned, while the pork was crispy and paired wonderfully with the tangy sauce.

The staff here are fantastic—super friendly and attentive. Even though the restaurant was busy, they managed to keep everything running smoothly, and my food was ready in no time. The vibe is casual and laid-back, making it a great spot for a quick meal or a relaxed dinner.

If you’re a fan of generous portions and bold flavors, this place is a must-visit. Whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, or ordering delivery, Golden Star delivers (literally and figuratively) every time. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! Five stars, hands down.“

“The food is always great here ...service is great no issues clean bathrooms as well I will say compared to royal buffet in Scranton and the buffet in Wilkes Barre this one tops the charts..im not joking either and price is right on the money ...“

“Buena comida y buena atención ❤️“

“I ordered the Szechuan chicken lunch meal, which came with pork fried nice and an egg roll. It was ready very quickly (10 minutes), was piping hot, and delivered the heat without being overpowering. The pork fried rice also had nice chunks of pork and roughly chopped onion. Although the prices are slightly higher than the menu posted on Facebook, it’s still a good deal for lunch and I’ll be back since I work in the area. I just wish I got a fortune cookie with my meal though! LOL 🥠“

“I’ve been coming here for some time but last nights food was exceptional. There was what appeared to be an older married couple cooking and gathering the orders and the food was FANTASTIC. I will only come here from now on if and when this couple is preparing the food. The general tso, chicken and broccoli with cashew, fried rice, wonton soup and veggie lo mein were out of this world.

Dietary restrictions: They will leave out items upon request.

Kid-friendliness: They sell typical friend American favs for kids“

“This is my second time here because the first time I was blown away. This time they brought my food 🍱 I had the most random surprise..4 pieces of cake and a random container of pineapple…I literally just had a five year old wake up from a nap who’s birthday is this weekend so he totally thought it was meant for him, and then the pineapple! I eat pineapple with every meal so this surprise totally kicked butt. You totally just made me a weekly customer.“

“This is the best chinese spot in Scranton PA!!! I’m originally from NYC and this brought me home. So good! Highly recommend! I had sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and my hubby had the fried crab sticks with house special fried rice and an egg roll. Everything was delicious and a good price as well. Staff is super friendly.“

“By far the best in the area. Been going here for almost a decade and realized last night that I never did my part with a much deserved positive review. The food is always on point, down to the detail, ready when promised or faster, and the price is super reasonable. I went there tonight, they were slammed with only two people running the whole show. One person cooking, the other cooking, taking orders, answering phone, running the register and packing up orders. Didn't matter, they didn't miss a beat! Food was perfect, ready by the time promised and the employee I interacted with was very pleasant. If you're looking for good Chinese food in the Wilkes-barre/Plains area, this is the spot!

Items I can vouch for: chicken and broccoli, crab rangoons, spare ribs, sweet and sour chicken/shrimp, schezuan style shrimp, pork fried rice, fried dumplings, wonton soup, homemade iced tea

Dietary restrictions: I eat everything, but my mom is vegan and this is also her favorite spot for Chinese food.“

“Very tasty food. Definitely a bit different (in a good way) in comparison to other regional Chinese restaurants. They bring an authentic recipe to their food, and you need to give it a try. Convenient off street parking to run in for your take-out, and the food is always fresh and made timely without long waits. Extensive menu selection, so it won't be hard to find something you'll like. I give them five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The man taking my order at the counter was very kind and helpful. The sweet and sour chicken combo had more than enough food for myself for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. I had to try the cheese wontons and they did not disappoint. Favorite ones in the area by far. I also wanted to try the sesame chicken which was perfectly crispy and had plenty of sauce. This was my first experience here and I will be back :)“

“You will not find better Chinese food and service in the area. For a while, I enjoyed the buffet. This place was the hookup during college/covid. I can’t tell you how many nights this place has fed me. The price is reasonable, there are so many things to buy outside of the food, and the take out is actually amazing. I recommend the mango shrimp with lo mien instead of white rice. Best Chinese dish I have had. I am welcomed like family and will never forget this place. Whether you are in college, local, or passing by, give qqs buffet a try. They also deliver!

Parking: Huge commercial lot by McDonald’s“

“Stopped by on a whim and was blown away! I got the General Tso’s chicken with fried rice and an egg roll — everything was packed with flavor. The staff was super polite and even gave me some recommendations for next time. Definitely coming back!“

“Best service especially from Kent 👍“

“We occasionally order for our office at work, typically $130-$160 order. Sprays hot always fresh always delicious. Delivery driver Pat is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet! I just wish they would answer their phone before 11am to be able to place our order and give them time to prepare it and get delivered by 11:45-12:00. Other than that, this place is our go to for Chinese every time. Highly recommended.“

“Just ordered takeout and it’s delicious! We got the sweet & sour chicken combo and the chicken & broccoli combo, and some fried dumplings. Everything was hot and fresh, our food is crispy and the dumpling sauce 100000/10. Thank you! :)“

“We placed an order TOGO. The food was packaged nicely. Good protions for the Lunch Special price. The ticket was half english and half chinese. Way cool! The flavors of the dishes were amazing. SOOOO good. You locals definately have a gem here!! Enjoy!!“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in Scranton!

The food is always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Generous portions ensure you get great value for your money. Plus, they offer delivery (which is always fast) and accept card payments over the phone, making ordering super convenient. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Chinese takeout“

“First time ordering definitely will order again“

“very good ,its a rough area lots of lowlifes and they keep buisness going food is real good and lady works hard day in day out unlike the others in the area .thumbs up beef ,chicken meals and vegs are worth the trip .ty“

“I love this place! The lady at the front that takes your order is soooo nice! The food is great! The woman who I saw sitting at the table behind the register, cutting food, was the cutest! She reminded me of my Gram when I was little. The food is awesome! I am glad this ace is on my way to work, because they make the food fast, and it's ALWAYS delicious!

**For the other review complaining the woman didn't have a hairnet-not required when their hair is long. And gloves, also not required when they wash their hands. But you're more than welcome to wear gloves and a hairnet next time u cook.

**For the insect leg review-very unlikely. Probably came from your house. You should get an exterminator!

**For the dirty fishtank review--some fish secrete excess amounts of ammonia, creating that type of tank. To constantly change a fishtank for these fish, can hurt them. Temperature changes, environmental changes, etc... what you consider an eye sore is less important than another being's life. You aren't swimming in it.“

“I ordered delivery, it came very fast. I even got some pineapple on the house. Food was very hot and fresh! The Singapore Chow Mei Fun was amazing had that nice like kick to it! Sweet and Sour Chicken and rice was great! Egg roll was great. Overall very happy with my choice to order from here.“

“Fine Chinese restaurant with the typical dishes available. Staff is friendly and the service was good and quick. Only reason for 4 star instead of 5 is I did feel like this place has slightly higher prices then some others I've been to.“

“I recently visited this place, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. Every bite was a treat!
Highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The staff was very friendly, it didn't take long for us to get food... I was initially worried because I didn't see any vegan options on the main board... Just chicken, fish and seafood but the service staff offered us menus and I could see that there were a lot of vegan options and not just super spicy ones either. Our food was delivered quickly and properly. When I asked for extra napkins, we got extra napkins. We were about to return our menus but the worker said we could keep them and take them home. As for the place itself, there's no garbage can and while we had a great view, I didn't see anyone else working to clean tables or the bathrooms in the back.

Vegetarian options: More options for vegetarians than similar Chinese restaurants.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan selection is better than usual for an inexpensive Chinese restaurant... General Tso's Tofu, Bean Curd with Mixed vegetables, white rice served with lunch special instead of fried rice if you ask), Miso soup, Chinese vegetables, French fries, there was another spicy tofu dish but I can't think of it.

Parking: Shares the parking lot with other businesses as they are located in a small plaza across from Citizens Bank

Kid-friendliness: Not kid-friendly in the sense that there's a kids menu or activities but generally peaceful place with limited seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a small ramp so if you have a large wheelchair, it wouldn't work out very well and the door to the restaurant is small so I'm going to say inaccessible.“

“Best Chinease food in the area! Fresh all the time. Great dough for dumplings, won tons, etc. Fast, and friendly young man @ the cou ter. Prices pretty decent. Generous portions.

Vegetarian options: Won Ton soup is loaded with wontons, freshly made @ lunchtime. Best egg fu young I've ever had. Plus the vegetables are cooked perfectly every time.

Parking: In a busy area but parking is right on the side. Also, Hazel Mart gas and convenient store is right across the street!

Kid-friendliness: Small waiting area, no tables or anything, but very fast hard workers. Bubble gum machines, and super ball, toy.25/.$.50 machines, they look out the big windows sitting on a bench.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get a chair in there's a small bump, but very small.“

“One of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever had in my life. Hands down the best bourbon chicken I have ever ordered. Loved everything we ordered and was very surprised how good the food was. I promise anyone reading this they will not be disappointed when choosing New Sun for takeout or to eat in the cafeteria in the mall. Highly recommend trying all the food here and will return for more.“

“Always prompt, courteous, appreciative, giant portions - but most of all delicious!!! I would give it a 5 star recommendation. Thank you for the experience,!“

“Ordered pu pu platter, wonton soup, and sweet and sour chicken. Ready in 10 mins at dinner time. Carton was overflowing with chicken. EVERYTHING in the pu pu platter was the best I ever had. Everything so hot and fresh. Will be where I go for Chinese food from now.“
