Chinese Restaurant

A few years ago, we ate at this restaurant and the food wasn't good, but for the past five years, we've really loved eating here. Francesca's friendliness and the love with which she treats her customers make us feel at home. The food is very good, my daughters love the pasta, the desserts, the ice cream, and the fish and shrimp are just as good. The atmosphere is friendly and always clean. I recommend it to everyone.

I found the buffet food during my most recent visit to be average - some good and some not so good. Some of the food was greasy and the sweet sour chicken cold and tasteless. My favorite was the coconut chicken and the salmon. Sometimes it’s hard to avoid this place since it is only a few blocks from my place. Most convenient for our family.

I've had much better spicy chicken with vegetables. Chicken fried rice just had what looked like boiled chicken added to fried rice. Very bland tasting, not spicy at all, not many fresh veggies. Probably wouldn't revisit this place.

The Cream Cheese wontons were limp,oily, raw and cold all at the same time. (I'm picking the raw dough from my teeth as I type this) The Generals tso was soggy and wasn't spicy at all. The lo mein noodles were dry and clearly old, and my egg roll looked like it was sat on. No utensils, no sauces, no napkins, and 35$ with service that made the DVM more understandable.

Nothing like going home to find an inch and a half piece of plastic in your food. Asked for a refund on that part of our order as it's not edible at this point and was offered to have it remade, no thanks! I just thought I'd make sure others know to look carefully!

Teriyaki chicken skewers are fantastic and hotter than the asphalt in July. And I got 3 fortunes in my cookie.

I've heard this is one of the best Asian places in the anoka Ramsey area so I was looking forward to finally trying it out. Unfortunately my experience is not what other may have had. I only ordered the Pho soup which is normally a delicious dish. My meal came with very little meat and there was only 2 meatballs and some beef. Pho soup normally comes with tendon, steak, tripe and brisket as well. If any of these meat were included they were not visible at all. The noodles had a different consistency than most rice noodles but maybe that's because I didn't mix it in the broth until I got home 10 minutes after picking it up. Overall it was mediocre at best. I will definitely go back and try other dishes and when I do I'll be quick to update my review and include any positive experiences. The service was great but I wish I could say the same thing about the food. Maybe next time!

Overall experience 4.5 out of 5. To go out review. Doing a breakdown the atmosphere was clean. The tables are clean from what I can see. I did a to go order, so I did not use the bathrooms but from that perspective, it look great. Service, very friendly staff were happy to chat with me and treat me as a customer not it’s just someone picking up and order and going home. Food. I thought the food was good no complaints there, the portion was a little less than average. So here’s why it only got 4.5. Their website price is not reflecting the current price that they just changed it. I was a little surprised at the price of $18 for a sweet-and-sour chicken with fried rice. The waitress/ hostess informed me about it when I picked up the food.

I've been here plenty of times and most recently, stopped in with my brothers, for dinner. Let me just say, this place never fails to disappoint, and that is solely due to their Hibachi Beef. Juicy, tender, bite-sized cubed beef cuts, that just melts in your mouth. If it's one thing you should absolutely try, it is the Hibachi Beef. So many people grab it that it's always freshly made although, due to it's popularity, you may end up waiting or touring the other options while they make more. Of course, the other food items are tasty as well, and they have a great selection of sushi. I also recommend their Salt and Pepper Shrimp, it's probably the best around compared to other buffets, but I tend to like my salt and pepper more on the salty side. Pair it up with an ice cold Sprite and you're golden. Overall, when I think buffet, I think Hibachi. It's the same with my family and the place can be packed most times during dinner hours, but that's how buffets typically are anyways, its just if the food is good or not and you can't go wrong at Hibachi.

WOW…we’ve been to this place once and it was pretty good, but after today it’ll be our last time here! We stopped by for dinner after leaving the trampoline park. All we wanted was a good dinner until I saw hair in the food!! (If you look closely, you can see the hair strands). This place is unsanitary and when the food was being brought out, there was barely anything on the new trays! Not sure if other Buffet’s charge for drinks but we were charged for our drinks! We all had 1-2 plates with very little food on each of them, avoiding the foods that didn’t look sanitary. The service here was okay, the server came by twice reaching in front of us to grab our plates while we were eating, no “excuse me” or anything. There might’ve been a language barrier there so we weren’t too bothered by it, but I don’t think me and my family have been to more of a bad buffet than this one. Definitely our last time here!!

We ate here on a Saturday night in November 2024. It was fairly empty at 5pm but by 7pm it was very busy. The menu had a wide selection of American style Chinese food. We ordered 2 entrees, 2 appetizers and custard tarts that 3 people shared. The food came out one item at a time and we finished the first entree before the second one arrived. It was entertaining to watch the robot server bring our food. The 2 appetizers arrived after we had finished the entrees. The food was really good and we all loved the walnut shrimp! The next time I eat here I will request the entrees to come at the same time. The noise level was low and the staff was friendly.

Been here so many times I lost count. It’s one of our favorite Chinese restaurants in MN. We always do our usual though and maybe sometimes add something different just to try. And they’re super fast on making the dishes as well. Though, I wouldn’t go during their buffet hours unless you want buffet. It’s crazy busy during that time. We usually order from the menu only.

Man, I really really wanted to like this place. It's five minutes from our house, and family owned. The food we got was partly okay, chicken was pretty tough, rice was pretty bland, we were gonna gloss over that because the prices were pretty good, but the pork wonton appetizer made me laugh out loud in disbelief. I hate leaving bad reviews but honestly what are thooooose 😭 reminiscent of wet cat food, except it was completely dry. We didn't eat much of our food. The lady handing out to go orders was so very nice, we really really wanted to love it.

TLDR: Food poisoning. Sesame chicken, egg rolls, cream cheese wontons. First time I ordered from them was good so I felt safe door dashing from them a second time. IMMEDIATELY got food poisoning. I knew as I was eating it something was off. The chicken was extra greasy and tough, the egg rolls tasted off. The wontons were insanely stale. Everything felt like I was eating someone else’s two day old recooked dish. My husband then told me that they’ve had a history of cockroaches. Never again.

Food was pretty good. I had the Hunan Beef and it was pretty good. I do think the beef could’ve been cooked a little better, but it was still good. This place is also really convenient places as it is right along the route 18 bus and a 5 minute walk from the 46. It’s also convenient for biking as well as it is right on the Nicollet Avenue bike lanes and close to the bike lanes on 46th

So good!!! We are from Iowa and have been in Minnesota for about 3 months now, and I was craving Chinese. I'm so thankful I found this gem. My husband had the orange chicken, I had beef lo main without vegetables, and we shared the fried rice and wonton. It cost $36, which is decent for the amount of DELICIOUS food we received. We'll get several meals out of this easy. Service was very fast, and everyone was pleasant. Even the fortune cookies were yummy 😋. Thank you!!!

Had the chicken in garlic sauce. Nice spice to it and good garlic flavor. paired with the fried dumplings which were decent (thick dough), and the egg roll was good.

I’ve been going here for about a year. I liked their food and had even recommended them to other people. Today I got my favorite, Mongolian Beef, but there was hardly any meat in the order. The beef pieces were tiny slivers or even crumbles of meat. I called to tell them, and they offered me $5 off my next visit. I told them I would rather bring it back to show them and get my money back. When I got there the lady was very rude and loudly complained and yelled in front of everyone in the restaurant. She told me that’s the way they make it and everyone else likes it. I told her I have eaten there many times and it is never like this. I also pointed to the picture on the wall that they have of the dish and said that the pieces of meat usually look like the picture. She then said “oh come on, everyone knows the picture is not the same”. I told her that one of the reasons why I kept coming back was because their food did look like the picture. She just kept throwing her arms up in the air making a scene. I think the last time I had to return food must have been 15 years ago? When I was young I even worked in restaurants so I understand how difficult it can be. This woman could have handled this situation differently. She could have made the meal over, or she could have just given me my money back and apologized. Instead she yelled and tried to humiliate me, refusing to listen except to argue about everything I said. I gave their food a “2” because in the past it had been good. In the end, I found the same dish at another restaurant for $2 more with large pieces of beef, traditional ingredients for the dish and very friendly customer service.

I highly recommend this place to eat. This is the best chinese food I have had in a long time. I did the delivery and that was super fast. I ask how long it would be and they told me 25min. I was ok with that. Not more than 15 min later my phone is ringing and he was at my place to drop off my food. Normally I don't give tips on the first go around, but since it was super fast and the food was still hot I gave $2 tip. I would eat here again for sure. It was well worth the money spent for this amazing food.

I have been coming to Star Dragon for years and have never had a bad experience. The food is always amazing and at a great price. The lunch specials are the best bang for your buck. There are also great vegetarian options! I love Star Dragon and always make it a point to get food here whenever I'm in town.

Nice for 5 dollars on Christmas (Update) Was impressed when the cashier actually gave me back the extra 20 dollar note when two of them stuck together on me. Yet another reason that I world have to say this place is currently top American chinese takeout! Fast service and the food is SO GOOD!

My go to for Chinese take out. Drive thru available & cheap delivery. Ive ordered for up to 8 people and it always comes with the quickness and hot on arrival. Friendly service, along with the best and cheapest cream cheese wontons will keep me coming back!!

Usually always get everything to go but this time I ate in. The server Bill was super friendly fast and professional. Best service I've had in a long time. Pho is good in its own way, it's not the normal pho with tripe and other items. I got the house pho and it was loaded with meat/shrimp and broth was really good! I would honestly eat here again just on how well I was treated even when the phones were ringing and customers were walking in.

Best egg rolls anywhere! Specialty of the house. Unlike any you have had before. They are addictive. Their egg fu young is ridiculous. The only egg fu young I have ever liked. The gravy is to die for! Love the seafood with crispy noodles. Real, full sized scallops. Portions large. Prices are very reasonable. A little hard to get to the building, but it is well worth the trip. Anytime we are in the area, it is a go-to. The luncheon menu is $9.95, enough for leftovers.
