Star Chef is a restaurant known for its variety of dumplings. Customers can choose from steamed dumplings (available in vegetable, pork, or chicken options), pan-fried pork dumplings, and deep-fried pork or chicken dumplings. A mixed dozen of these dumplings can be ordered for $9.99, plus tax, offering a good portion for customers. The restaurant also has an excellent wonton soup.
The staff at Star Chef are praised for their quick and friendly service, ensuring a great dining experience for every customer. The restaurant is located in the McKinney tunnel, making it easy to find, and it offers seating in a small food court. While the atmosphere may be plain due to poor lighting, the food receives high praise. Customers have specifically noted the delicious taste and juiciness of the steamed dumplings, described as plump and full of flavor. Many enjoy mixing orders of pan-fried and steamed dumplings, and the pork chop plate is a favorite for those with a larger appetite. The dough to filling ratio is just right, and the steamed veggies are cooked well, not too tender or hard, with a light flavoring. Many also appreciate the spicy ginger dipping sauce.
