| - I came into HK Star with my roommate today and had a great lunch. They had many choices for the lunch special based on price. One section was 4.95, the other was 5.95, and the most expensive was 6.95. While many lunch specials come with salad, soup, egg roll, and maybe some other items, HK star's lunch special came with only the entree and a side of rice. This was no problem, though, because the portion of the entree was very large.
We got one order of crispy dumplings for 4.95, and they were probably the best dumplings I have ever had. The dough on the outside was soft, yet crispy on the outside, and the meat on the inside was plentiful, and, more importantly, seasoned perfectly. When you bit into the dumplings, they poured juice into your mouth and a little into the hands, which is exactly what I want. It wasn't water being poured into your mouth, it was the juiciness of the chicken. I would definitely suggest getting a plate of dumplings when you go!
For my lunch entree, I got the Duck, and my roommate got the Mongolian Beef. The duck was a very large portion, and was served with a thin, yet flavorful sauce, and boiled peanuts. Very good dish, especially for only 5.95! The Mongolian Beef was surprisingly very good, too. I don't usually like the americanized chinese dishes, but this one had just the right amount of spice, and even the onions with the dish were very good.
I would highly suggest HK Star to anyone looking for a great chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
