"There's nothing negative I can say! I've been a patron since 2000. My FAVORITES would be the shrimp spring roll and Steamed Chicken Dumplings. I wish we got 2 spring rolls considering they are getting smaller. The counter service is great although busy during lunch hours and seating is limited. I've had many dishes from this restaurant and I have never been disappointed. I wish they would participate in a food delivery service like Uber Eats. Grubhub, Postmates or Door Dash!"

After walking around many time I couldn’t deny my craving for shrimp dumplings. What a bargain! I also ordered a dumpling soup, Such a great broth perfect for me. The sesame chicken was a comfort and just what we needed.

Good selection for lunch. You get a lot more for your money here. My favorite is the Shanghai Shrimp, spicy shrimp over rice with vegetables. Lunch is always busy which tells you a lot about this place. Try to get here just before lunch. If there is an event at the Convention Center, just get your door to go.

"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."
