I am ashamed I have lived here nearly 4 years and have just discovered this gem. I read all the other reviews and HK Star really deserves to be a 4-5 star IMO.
The food is phenomenal. I enjoyed going to KJ Kitchen and Joyful House but I will be coming here for now on. We ordered at least 15 dishes for Chinese New Year.
We got most of the items listed in all these other reviews so I won't spout it off. My suggestion is to bring a good orderer, someone who can order in cantonese/mandarin. If you don't have any asian friends who can order, then PM me.
And I tend to say this in most of my Chinese restaruant reviews.... you can't rank Chinese restaurants on Service and Timeliness. Asian restaurants get a pass, unfortunately. Generally speaking, Asian people are rude.
Go walk in SF or NYC Chinatown and see how many people bump into you, cut you in line, spit on you, and deliver bad service. Look we're kind of misunderstood. Yah we're rude but alot of it has to do with culture, social upbringing, etc. Just rank us for our food and nothing else
