Oriental Star

Had an extremely bizarre first (and last) experience here. My wife and I are new to the area and this place was recommended by locals. Upon arriving we enjoyed the traditional decor, it looked clean, and the two sushi chefs behind the bar seem to know what they were doing. Once we sat down and began to order things began to take a change. Our appetizers never came out nor did our dinner. After 45 minutes, we asked our waitress what was going on because we noticed that the two sushi chefs had left and instead a young boy of maybe 15 years of age at most who was previously doing homework at one of the tables had now taken their place. He was not dressed Appropriately to be handling food, and was clearly still wearing the clothes he wore to school. We chose to leave instead of waiting additional time for a child to cook our meal.

Oriental Star is my #1. This has been my favorite local sushi/Japanese spot for over 15 years now. I rarely ever order out but easily over 50% of the takeout I get comes from here. The food has always been excellent, and the folks who run it are some of the best. They're always friendly and helpful, and accommodating, even when I had to call in a large catering order on 24 hr notice. And the prices are nigh unbeatable, especially for the quality. I recommend them anytime someone's asks for food recommendations and I always try to stop in when I can for some takeout, or a sashimi plate and some hot sake, or a proper sit-down meal whenever I have the time.

I’ve been going here since Mrs. Lee owned it, when it was the old restaurant. I know what I want and it’s quick, affordable, and always the same quality. Great place for American Chinese takeout. I have no clue if there is dine in. I haven’t done that since like 1997.

A hidden gem in Fayetteville NY ! The service is good! The sushi is exceptional. Especially for celiac disease, patrons. They have drive-through which is amazing and very rare for sushi restaurant.

Update 11/2023 - It's nice to see their indoor dining hours restored. We had Sushi tonight and it was excellent as always. They really do seem to be one of the most consistent restaurants I have been to. The service has been excellent the last couple times as well. Prices remain reasonable... Still 5 Stars. Update 12/2022 - Still a really great place but since COVID their indoor dining hours have been very limited which is a shame as this was one of the few nice indoor dining Chinese - Japanese restaurants in the eastern suburbs. Food is still amazing though! You can't go wrong here. I've been coming here for 15 years and they are a model of consistency... Excellent food , Service and prices in nice clean restaurant. What sets them apart from a lot of places is they are a mostly eat in mid level establishment that does Chinese , Japanese ( great sushi) and some Thai dishes and do an excellent job with all of them. This is not your typical corner take out Chinese place... ( although they do takeout as well ). That's hard to find these days as most Asian restaurants seem to be corner take out or are very upscale pricey , this place finds that middle ground.
