Good food and really friendly service! I had the general chicken combo and my wife had the sweet and sour chicken combo. Both were very good and came with rice, two crab rangoon, and one egg roll. Very hefty portions and very fresh tasting. My only complaint is that the space is kind of cramped but you get over that quickly.

Based on a recommendation, we decided to give Wok Star a shot. We walked into the restaurant and there was only one other customer. The young lady behind the counter did not greet us when we entered. As we approached the counter, she simply stared at us. No smile. No gesture. Just a flat, glazed over look of someone who did not enjoy her job. Perhaps she was having a bad day? With that thought in mind, my partner and I both took turns greeting her. We received little more than a mumble and she continued staring as if to say "what is it you want?". We decided to spend our funds on dinner elsewhere. Sadly, we will never know if the food was as outstanding as reported by our friend. In a town where there are ample, delicious options for Chinese/Asian food I think we will be okay.

Wok Star made some bacon fried rice for the recent bacon fest and it was delicious so we thought we would try the place for lunch. We skipped the small buffet and ordered off the menu, generals chicken, wok star chicken and orange chicken. The food was out quickly , served hot and large portions but the flavor just didnt deliver. The generals was sort of one dimensional , neither sweet nor spicy and the wok star chicken seemed to be a derivative of the generals with copious amounts of black pepper added on. The orange chicken was also lacking in both orange and overall flavor. While not generally bad, there are a number of better Asian style restaurants to go to into Springfield offering much tastier fare.

This place has jumped to the top of the list for #1 General Tao! Spicy comes in 1 to 5. I recommend 2. I had 3 and needed to tone it down with sweet sauce. All white meat chicken was crisp and tender. Sauce was thick. Veggies, onion, carrot, and broccoli were crisp as they should be and the pile of rice was perfectly cooked. The crab Rangoon were crisp with a slight sweet taste. The egg roll was flat tasting but stuffed with pork. I think it was the lack of crunch that has me leaving it off my next order. A very good first experience over all. It may not happen every visit but today I received a free ice cream bar! Try this place out!

Food wasn't bad, menu was uninformative, it didn't tell you the ingredients so when I got food that was 90% vegetables and hardly anything else I was disappointed. The chow mein tasted like cheap chicken noodle soup was used as the base.

We got take out in a week day. Service was average but quick and the staff was pretty nice. I got the cashew chicken which comes with all white meat which is nice, and the sauce was good but nothing crazy. Beef and broccoli was very good had lots of fresh veggies and a medium thick sauce on the scale of Springfield cashew sauces. Overall the food was pretty good and fairly reasonable in price, but the decor on the inside is a little strange. This was a first for me with rock music playing in a Chinese place. But hey, it is Wok Star.

I was craving Chinese food and this was near my office so I decided to give it a try. I had the sesame chicken combo. The chicken was hot and crispy, but I prefer a bit less sauce on my chicken. The broccoli was a nice touch. The rice was seasoned just perfectly in my book. The egg roll was alright. I'm not a big fan of egg rolls so I'm neutral on them. The crab rangoons were pretty good. The shells were crispy and not too tough like some places. I'll definitely return.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
