The Take
Order steamed chicken or shrimp with mixed vegetables, sauce on the side and white rice at China Star. This 84 slop score temple defaults to soybean and canola fryers plus HFCS-thickened sauces on everything else.
The menu exists to upsell ultra-processed bait like egg rolls, lo mein and General Tso's. Ask for white meat only, no sauce, extra veggies and hot tea if you want the one edible path through the door.
The Verdict
China Star is a classic takeout slop temple that rewards the specific ask and punishes everything else. The 84 slop score comes from seed oil fryers and hidden sugars that turn comfort food into industrial sludge.
Use the secret order or stay home. Steamed chicken or shrimp with mixed vegetables, sauce on the side, white rice.
