Reviews for New Star Restaurant in Elmwood Park, IL
First time trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised as I'm SO picky on hibachi! It was my niece's 8th graduation and we... had a party 25 ppl ???? They accommodated us with zero issue, the chefs were so kind and had so much fun with the kids, food wasphenomenal and honestly can't say one bad thing about this place! Lunch specials were very affordable and still can't amount offood. ALSO looks are deceiving because when you walk in it looks small but it is actually pretty big Read more
New Star is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the CHI. I've had privilege of dining in and also utilizing their delivery... service. When dining in the first thing you will notice is the portions. They give you plenty of food to eat....so make sureyou're hungry. As far as the delivery go...once you phone in your order...it usually take around 45 mins to delivery. Not tooshabby...it also depends on your area. Give em a try..you won't regret it. The dishes I rock with are listed below. My greatesthits list for NS: Egg Rolls ( I can eat like 300 of these. ????) General Tso's Chicken Orange Chicken Sweet & Sour Chicken PotStickers Crab Rangoon Broccoli & Beef Hong Kong Steak Beef Fried Rice Read more
The food and the customer service was great. The bartender was awesome and very funny. I didn't get a chance to catch his name... because he had left but ill be back for sure and let him know how great he did. Next time I go back am bringing my kids with. Read more
New Star was excellent! ???????? They have the best Egg Foo Young in the city! I hate to say it but this was the best service... I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant! We ate for lunch and the prices were very reasonable! Lunch came with tea, egg dropsoup, a huge egg roll, pork fried rice and Shrimp and Chicken Egg Foo Young, all for 7.99! They have hibachi and a sushi countertoo but we've never had it. Also the bathroom was very clean and stylish, they even had a mouthwash dispenser! The food was sogood, the service was good and the bathroom was so clean. Can't wait to go back! ???????????????? Read more
Shady, shady, New Star! So long story, less long, 18% service charge applied to party of 3, didn't catch it so they got a $36... service fee/gratuity. I always appreciate when places pay you the courtesy of informing you that they plan to add a servicecharge. In this case they did not. It was not posted anywhere that I noticed. Plus I think it's intentional the way the itemizedreceipt is attached to the restaurants copy , you are less inclined to take it with you and really review. I mean we had a drinkon our tab so the total seemed right ??????????????????????. Shame on us for trusting but not verifying. Anyway, I always tip incash because as a previous service worker I appreciated the generous cash tips moreso than tips on cards. So I paid the tabsigned the receipt and then I placed $25 gratuity in the billfold. I think $25 on a $65 tab is GREAT! Left New Star and sat inmy car reconciling my and that's when I noticed that 18% service charge. Anyway, for this reason and because my stomach was alittle upset after dining, I probably won't go back. I hope New Star takes this note and posts for the people. Read more
I have ordered takeout from New Star many times, but today I finally got the chance to dine in. I decided to do the hibachi... experience and got a hibachi steak dinner. It was an amazing experience and such a delicious meal! Our server was so engagingand fun. I love when they mess with the customers a bit! The food was so flavorful and plentiful for the price. They use suchdelicious seasonings and sauces! I got salad, soup, steak, noodles, chicken fried rice, vegetables, and even ice cream all forjust about $30. It was a great deal especially for the incredible quality and experience! Read more
Made reservations for dinner but I when I arrived I had to wait about 10-15 minutes.. Definitely worth the wait though! The food... was delicious. No doubt my tofu & vegetables were amazing , while my family said they enjoyed their steak, shrimp, & drinks.First time eating hibachi and will surely come back!!! Read more
I found out about New Star while watching an episode of Chicago's Best. This place is always packed, and the turnover of food is... on a massive scale. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made to order. They have an awesome hibachi grill, and theeggrolls are the best In the business. The service is stellar, and the martinis are spot on !!!
