WORST MANAGEMENT!

by AkiraSneah

The place is nice, food is just like every other Chinese place. I took my brother there for his birthday and we wanted a big table because we had a big table and asked the waitress to seat us and the manager yelled at her and said to us in a rude tone that the big table was already taken, and we asked if there were any other big tables in that big restaurant. We were seated upstairs were there were plenty of other "big" tables. When the waitress brought us extra plates he yelled at her again! And they (there were 2 of them) looked so grumpy and rude but when a group of doctors walked in they were so submissive to them. I will never go there again!

  • Pros: atmosphere
  • Cons: service

Great Food, Best Service

by Super Dave

The food at the beautiful restaraunt pleases anyone because their variety and quality sometimes make it difficult to choose just one dish.

The reason we like to go to the Asian Star emanates from the impeccable service. Good service is rare, and great service deserves five stars and two thumbs up!

  • Pros: The service makes the food even better.
  • Cons: I wish I lived closer.

Very disappointed

by shp17c

I ordered General Tao's Chicken and did not like it at all. The dish did not taste fresh. I thought that the food quality was like Panda Express's but I paid $13 for the dish. I was very disappointed with the experience there.

  • Pros: Nice decoration
  • Cons: Not good quality

Poor service

by Jat83

Our group of 8 went to Asian Star for lunch and the service was very poor. The food was adequate but nothing to brag about. Our server didn't speak very good english and messed up the bill. The food seemed overpriced for the quality. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

  • Pros: somewhat quiet atmosphere
  • Cons: parking, service

Great Walnut Shrimp

by TT46

I love the Asian Star and their Walnut Shrimp is to die for! Although the menu is a little pricey, I've found that every dish I order there is seasoned well and cooked to order. I also like that they have the option between traditional family-style dining and individual serving plates. All the staff was polite and quick to help. The wait-staff does check on you often, but I don't believe it's in a rushing manner, I believe they just want to be prompt to help. I would recommend, and I personally take all family members/friends that come to town here for a relaxing atmosphere with wonderful food.

Best Chinese****

by nielson1985

This is the ONLY place to eat chinese, my personal favorite is the Walnut Shrimp. It is mouth watering and delicious, totally worth the price. Anything you order is going to boggle your mind. The meat you order whether its chicken or beef is going to be tender and fresh. The service is amazing, the owner is very friendly and personable.

  • Pros: EVERYTHING, food, service
  • Cons: nothing

Great Atmosphere

by lukeybaby

The building is gorgous inside and out. Free valet parking is welcomed especially during a snow storm. I went to Asian Star because my friend works there as a hostess (she's really cute). I wanted to see her and the place. Anyway, everything was extravagant from the outside in. However, I gave Asian Star 3 stars due to service and food.

The services from the valet guys and my friend, the hostess, was great. The waitress I received wasn't up to par. She wasn't very polite and I felt rushed to order. Thus, the service from the waitress could have been better.

The food: subpar. I ordered the Sizzling Seafood Delight. The sea-food was sizzling as they prepared it on a steam plate in front of me. Unfortunately, the sizzling food didn't appease my taste-buds. I felt some of the vegetables came straight out of the cans because it wasn't fresh. Actually, nothing was fresh.

  • Pros: Cute hostess and good valet parking
  • Cons: bad waitress and food

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

by therealdealinutah

I am a food critic. I am here to tell you that this place is Awesome. I had the walnut shrimp and if you like shrimp you will love this dish.

I read some of the reviews and all I can say is that these must not understand service or great food. I have never felt more welcome. It was an amazing experiece from the minute I pulled into the restaurant. I was greeted by 2 well groomed and courtious valets. The manager on duty greeted me with a smile and treated me with the utmost respect. I had a fabulous meal and enjoyed in thurally. The valet parking attedants where extremely nice and very professional. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.

  • Pros: Valet Parking

Not anything better than 2 stars

by mckingsley

Yeah, I don't understand how this place used to get such good reviews. There was nothing special about it. Sampan is probably better. Maybe management changed or something? We made the mistake of coming here after going to Thaifoon and that place was just amazing but Asain Star - unlike it's hip looking outside, was nothing of the sort. It starts off with complimentary valet parking which is nice enough. Once inside, a nice fish tank or two but the inside is not quite what you would expect and more on the average to upper average scale. The menu has some of the similar things on it that a cheaper Chinese place would have but at least it is not cluttered with 10+ pages. We got some egg roll appetizers which tasted about the same as frozen. Then our main meal items were about the same as others have described. They were warm, but I was not impressed with the walnut shrimp. It was sweet, and probably some would like it - but way too sweet and thick. Getting out of the place was crowded and we had to wait awhile for valet. They had several looking tacky signs saying gratuity appreciated (for the valet) All in all, just 2 stars and the price was pretty much the same as Thaifoon.
