It wasn't much better then the last time I ordered from here about 20 years ago.
Ordered the vegetable Lo Mein which, as usual for New England takeouts, has mostly large bulky pieces of broccoli with a few snow peas and bits of baby corn. Noodles itself seemed like they over did it with the soy sauce to cover the fact that they used cheap starchy Lo Mein noodles. Good Lo Mein that are whole grain are a yellow brownish color and are not saturated in gravy.
Come to the conclusion that there is really no such thing as a good Chinese takeout in New England, and the buffets source their produce from from factory farms that hydroponically grow vegetables and have no taste and little or no nutritional value. In other words, they serve air plants.

China Star 2 is probably one of the better Chinese food places on the island. Honestly, the food is consistent which is what we care about. However, I would never get delivery, it should always be picked up. When it is picked up, it’s always hot, fresh and good. But this is the third time we’ve gotten a delivery that took about an hour, on a slow night where we live five minutes away. I called and was told 20 min before my food came that the food was done but they were waiting on a driver. So, guess what… my food came like warm with some things plain cold. A little sad. I can easily recommend if you do takeout, just don’t do delivery or your food is cold

I put the 4 stars on atmosphere on purpose. This place is more about the food. You go to this place for the good food. Granted the lady taking our order was lovely, kind, and patient as we were first time visitors from Washington State staying in the hotel in the back yard. But florescent lighting and ceiling tiles... This isn't sit down for your first date atmosphere. You get it to go and take your date to a beautiful location and blow them away with the delicious food.
Our containers were full to the brim. The food is delicious. I have zero complaints about service or food. If you are craving Chinese food, you won't be disappointed.

Food was really old. Chicken was completely dry. We felt sick while eating. Really disappointed.

I've visited China Star II twice within the last year, since my former favorite Chinese restaurant has closed. The quality of the food and ease of ordering have been great. The restaurant is clean and there is adequate parking. I was surprised to order Moo Shu and see that it included lotus petals, as many other Chinese food restaurants in the area no longer seem to include lotus petals in their Moo Shu dishes. I like their Hunan Chicken, Egg Foo Young, fried dumplings, chicken wings and lo meins, too. My roommate gets a combination dinner with fried rice. No complaints from him. Food preparation is fairly quick, so I opted to order-in and take-out both times. Neither time was the restaurant crowded, but the kitchen staff was very busy both times working on take-out and delivery orders. Good food, fast service. I'll be back.
