"I saw this place in East Haven ai was out for a bike ride. I’ve been craving Chinese food and haven’t found my go to spot yet. I ordered shrimp in lobster sauce and tofu with mixed vegetables. Both came with rice, and my total was about $28. There’s enough food for three or four meals. I’d definitely go back! My only complaint is that they don’t deliver to my area, but none of the Chinese places nearby seem to"

"This Chinese food spot is hands down the best!!! Every time I order from them late at night I get really hot fresh food!!!! Ya straight fire!!! And they put all the extras without me asking. I only tipped $5 I’m really sorry if I knew it was so good I would of given $10. Thank you for the amazing food!!!!"

"After a hard day of battling capitalist greed, trying to find new ways of working together, taking care of my little garden shop project to make produce and herbs from across the planet available to everyone, nothing satisfies like absolutely DROWNING a hot plate of fried dumplings in delicious dumpling sauce and murdering it in under 10 minutes. So when I need that kind of comfort, I trust China Star for quality food and friendly service. If they sold T-shirts I would buy one."

"It’s the first time I order food from China Star7 months from moving to east haven and I am so happy that I found a place to order the best Chinese food. I completely recommend others to buy from China Star. The delivery is rated very low and I gave the driver an extra tip. I am beyond satisfied I wish I had a way to share the picture of my plate it looks and taste delicious"

"Shocked how fresh and enjoyable the food was. Makes me think what was I eating before from those other places. I travel a lot for work so Chinese is either a hit or miss but surprisingly this was good. Will definitely be back if in the area"
