China Star In Carriage Plaza

Good food. Moderately priced. Fast service. Everyone has their favorite place to compare against but all that aside, it tastes good with good service and value.

Not the best around, convenient for people in Swartz Creek. But willing to drive to get better Chinese food elsewhere. Service is fast so that is a plus.

Service was very friendly. Foods good too! I wouldn’t say I’m a regular but we get take out a couple times a month and I don’t think we’ve ever had a bad experience.

Not the best, not the worst. Probably wouldn’t eat here again by choice. Chicken in the fried rice was odd, and the sauce on the sesame chicken and orange chicken was just off.

Ordered take-​out today since we were passing through and hungry:
— Orange Chicken Combo (comes with egg roll and chicken fried rice) w/​sauce on the side
— Crab Rangoon
— $ 13
The Good: My egg roll was very good. I would eat another if I had ordered a second. The crab cheese were a bit skimpy but were also tasty. Came 6 to an order so it was a nice size to split. I would probably order these again. They were very nice people and the food came out quickly.
The Bad: The chicken fried rice was bland. Not sure what it was missing but definitely something. Most of the flavor came in the bites that had little pieces of green onion in them. The sauce was not what I expected with orange chicken, either. It was bright red and I’m not sure how to describe the flavor. Okay I guess. Edible but not something I would order again.
The Ugly: The … chicken? Was there chicken in there? I think they must thin slice the chicken into little strips before battering and frying. The chicken disappears within the batter, especially in the bits that were quarter sized and smaller. What chicken I did have was overcooked and chewy. It tasted as if it had sat there a bit before we ordered.
Overall I would not order this or any other dish containing fried chicken. I might go back for the egg roll and crab rangoon if I was really craving it. The price was good but I do wish I had some noticeable chicken in my pieces.

Really good take out or eat in Chinese. No MSG. Very tasty good. Separate area on menu for «diet food» that is steamed.
