I used to order from here many many years ago when I had friends in the area. Recently, I was just reintroduced to the restaurant this last year. And to my surprise, the food is still great! Fast, tasty and fresh!
If you have the opportunity to eat their food consider yourself blessed. They are so accommodating and friendly. And their food is out of this world. Have a good day everyone!
Stopped in for some late dinner and got combo number 6 which was egg roll, noodles, fried chicken and chicken with vegetable. The egg roll was fine but that’s about the best part. The fried chicken was really greasy and hard to chew, the chicken and vegetables came with about two pieces of chicken and was flavourless and the noodles reminded me of a pack of mister noodles without seasoning. I also was sick all night after eating this. I hope others have better experiences here but mine was not positive.
Ordered combo 1 and couldn't even eat half of it, it tasted like old oil was used to fry the food. The smell was horrible too. And the sweet and sour spareribs were just fried chunks of fat, no meat in them. I thought it was just my taste buds so I took it home. Another family member tried it and tasted the same disgusting old oil taste. I threw out the food.Do not eat here! I wasted my money! The only good plate I had was the chicken wonton soup.
If you know how asian food is supposed to taste, you wouldn’t come to this place. Chicken broccoli is very basic Asian dish. I can make it a lot better at home.. The chicken was old. The broccoli was old and everything was hard and not taste.
These noodles that were “so called” crispy noodles were actually uncooked noodles was the worst plate I ever got in my life. I’m so disappointed in the quality of the food especially that they don’t tell you that there is pork in the meal.. also the price of this meal is $20 that was not worth the price at all.
TERRIBLE!! I ordered from this place a few times and it was always generally fine however the one time I experienced an issue with my delivery order, the gentleman on the phone handled it very rudely and quickly HUNG up the phone on me. I ordered the Golden Star Chow Mein Noodles dish which is supposed to come with beef, pork, shrimp, and chicken...but it ONLY came with pieces of chicken. When i called the restaurant, the gentleman who answered said he would check with the chef and call me back...... 45 min later I still did not get a call back so i called again and the same guy answered. When I told him I had been waiting for his callback he said "you ordered the chicken chow mein"....I said No that is not true...I ordered and paid for the Golden Star Chow Mein noodles and right away he yelled "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO OK!" and hung up. I was extremely shocked as I have never experienced such terrible customer service in my life!!! I want to make clear that NOT once during my complaint or call did I raise my voice or talk down to the gentleman. I was very polite and was just hoping for some kind of solution. I am attaching photos of the order and receipt to show that I did in fact order the Golden Star Chow Mein!!!
I personally enjoy their Guyanese style Chinese food. The Chilli chicken is very unique and unlike those served at Hakka restaurants but the taste was spot on. Five star. The chicken lomein was very good, just shoveled it down my mouth. The non alcoholic Shirley's Temple was a very interesting drink and my pre-teen son loved it. Been a customer for about 2 decades and always did take take out, this time did dine in and the experience of freshly served food is up a different scale altogether. Ambience not great but the comfort food experience is worth it.
Excellent customer service, great food and great people
I paid 16,45 for an orange chicken with no chicken in there really disappointing
Rude cashier and staff! They do not know the basic of respect to customers! They do not even respond the customers Hello! Just look at the customer face like a robot!
Love the food
Staff & Service is amazing they treat everyone with respect and is polite to their customers. Food is Amazing nice portion size!!!
Relax, waited to be served ,...served ate laugh and interacted with each other as family..
The food wasnt fresh.
Former owners were Guyanese. Service, food and atmosphere were all reasonably well. Current owners are not Guyanese or Guyanese descent. They just bought over an existing business, so please don t think this is how Guyanese Chinese food or service is. Food
Food was very bad. No flavour. No vegetables in the chowmein. Taste nasty. The oil used to cook is not good. Inspector should check this restaurant.
Food is ok but I and every Caribbean people need to stay away because this place has the worst pepper sauce you can imagine. Its taste awful. Just go to any other fried rice place in the area.. they understand we like our pepper sauce.
Perfect fried rice chicken on top ever.
Great quick food!
Horrible I went there for the first time today and it was disgusting. Every dish tasted like old burnt oil. Save your self and dont eat here.....me and my wife puked all night not worth it
Local Chinese restaurants are like one of the few bastions holding out against inflated prices, they are a blessing fr
This place served me the wrong beef dish and the noodles I order 75% of the noodles were RAW!! I asked for crispy beef not boiled beef with gravy. They even charged me $20 a plate for RAW noodles and wrong beef. I explained myself clearly on what I wanted as well, they should be ashamed of serving that to people for that price.
Great place for rice and chicken wings. The spicy breaded shrimp and mussels are also really good. Ive tasted better noodles and soups, but these are still okay but won t go for noodles again. Excellent service; but, at peak hours, there can be a 50 minute wait due to takeout customers as well. That s my only issue Overall, the woman who serves us is always incredibly kind.
The young man working the tables and orders was so kind and polite wonderful experience dealing with him, very nice and ready to help whenever he can look forward to coming again great experience! Got the beef low mein and general Tao chicken
Today i tried golden star and i was wowed . The taste and quality of the food was excellent you can still have high quality lunch combo for under $12 wow. I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant.
The staff is very welcoming. They know their regulars. The food was absolutely delicious!

Very chill place, friendly atmosphere, staff are very nice and the food is off the chain.
Best place for dinner and very reasonable price
Once again the food here is amazing. The service is also great. By far the best tasting Asian food in Toronto. Will be there for dinner again this weekend.
Absolutely perfection, This restaurant has the best fried rice i have ever tasted. Their lemon chicken is godly and everything else is just as good of what items i have ordered in the past. Fantastic food.
I dine here at least twice a Month and I always order a special Guyanese style chicken fried rice for myself which I eat there, and a special Guyanese style pork low mein for my son to go and the food and service is always good by my standards and I totally recommend this place! Vegetarian options: Available Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
amaze chinese, lots i go
I love this place, my boyfriend and I often go here whenever we fell like having Cantonese noodles, we always order Cantonese noodles and spicy fried shrimp, the taste is consistent and Soo good, also the consumer service is 10/10.
Food here is consistent and customer service is amazing! The staff is always so friendly and happy which makes coming here so much more awesome.
The rice seem like they are re using left overs
Got food and was not a fan of it, seemed old & I normally purchase from here
The food was really good with good portions! Staff is really nice as well!
Guyanese style order was amazing
Great service
Sometimes the food is a hit or miss lately but they re super friendly and clean
Very good experience.
Very good fried rice
The Shirley Temple is mispriced. It is more than twice as expensive than in the menu.
Great Chinese food option in North York.
Here the food is great but the service is to slow. When I asked for a drink it took about 10 to 15 minutes
It was cool fora quick bite. Fried chicken wings really good
Food is good. Service is terrible. The guy at the front desk is anything but friendly. He thinks he is doing a favour by selling food to you.
Delicious as a kid in the 90s and still hitting the spot
Not open for lunch, only noticed after arrival
Delicious food
got combo 5 and subbed the rice for noodles. chicken balls and wings were fine, but the noodles were god awful. i couldn t eat the rest it was so disgusting. also didn t like how the chicken balls already had sweet sauce smothered on them.
Fantastic food, with amazing customer service...
Good food, very friendly staff, and quick service!

Its always an amazing time
Very nice place.. good food and friendly atmosphere. Reasonable and delightful
Excelente in everything and delicious food
Had a bit of a wait, was told one thing and it lasted a little loooonger. Accepted it was New years Eve, almost 3 hrs. In all!? It was one of my the best meals we have had with them, if not the best. Im sure you wont have to wait this long, but wait , its worth it.
A far cry from my first visit. The service was terrible, the food was overpriced, and chared. The plating was sloppy, (check out the picture). I will never purchase food there, nor I would recommend it.
Always delicious! Great quality and equally great service. Thats the kind of friendly and welcome place that keeps us coming back. Spicy deep fried shrimp a e an absolute favourite!
Great food and service. Very happy
Good food friendly service

Good food at good prices, the relaxed atmosphere invites you to return, the service is unbeatable!! They have cold beer!!!
Really good food! And good portion sizes!
Ive been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years. The quality of food is delicious, Ive never had a horrible experience. And when I have international guest and friends visiting I bring them there. Thanks Golden star
Excellent food and service. Food is super tastey. Good portions.
I loved this place, food so good.
Been coming here for years and they never disappoint!!! Food is always hot, well portioned and well priced. Thank you for always coming through for me and my family
Awesome food, Fair Prices,great for the family and date night
This place is probably the best Chinese food in the area. The service was great and I think I found my new regular local spot
We were in the area to kill time and found this place OMG! The food was so good! This is a definite return visit place We even ordered extra for take out! Definitely check this place out!
First time customer looking for Chinese food after 10 p.m.. I ordered shrimp fried rice and beef broccoli. Very tasty, fresh vegetables and there was a lot of shrimp. I did take out. Order was out in 10 minutes. Quite a few people were eating in. Staff were friendly. Looking forward to returning and trying some different t dishes. A+ Edit: been back numerous times. Rice dishes and any un-breaded meat dishes are amazing. Wings and the Golden star fried rice are my go-tos. Chef specialties (chow mein, chili chicken, general tso) should be avoided. Way too soggy.
Food delicious goog price $$
I was wait 10 minutes to talk with the front desk.
Love the fried rice!!! Amazing taste.
Chicken wings is da bomb!!!
beautiful and outstanding staff members, professional and perfect on timing , the meals presentable its a place you would want to be try it today .
The food is always fresh, piping hot and delicious. If you are looking for the classic Chinese takeout experience i.e fried chicken wings, sweet and sour chicken balls, and fried rice then this is the place for you.
This Family Own And Operated Restaurant Has Been Serving The Area For Over 42 years. Great Food, At A Great Price. Golden Stars Employee Adhere To All C-19 Procedures/ Protocols.
If you like good Chinese food., then try them out. I really enjoy their food and its hard to find good Chinese food where I live.
I love the lobster wit gengerale sause
Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommend if you like Chinese food.
Sorry not 4stars more like 2......should of went to weston rd finch location.
Under new management for sure quality of food and service is great!! Keep up the good work.. I will definitely keep coming back!! Thank you!!
Overpriced and very poor quality! Placed an order for 2 chili chicken and couple other items but both chili chicken was completely plain and undressed. Picture below is of the chili chicken & the bill for proof
Compared to the past, this food is by far horrible and definitely does NOT taste the same as it once did. Rice was old (looked and taste) with shrimp that was partially cooked (white raw looking). Only the wings were decent. Def Not going back.
Lemon chicken, chicken fried rice, fried chicken, it was good.
HOT GOOD PORTIONS REASONABLY PRICED. CLEAN WITH FRIENDLY STAFF.
Very tasty! You can taste the cooking comes straight from well-seasoned cast iron pans! Extremely generous with the variety and amount of vegetables, meat, etc. Other Asian restaurants add very little and cheap mix of vegetables if any, Not here! There is not one item on this menu that disappoints! Reasonably priced.
Food is okay but the customer service is not good. And the food is not worth the value for money. Wanted to try some chilli chicken as I am a fan of chilli chicken, but it was just fried chicken and not the chilli chicken someone would like.
Prices are kinda high but food is good
Horrible food! Ordered Orange chicken and they gave me Orange vegetables lol just a little bit of chiken. they are very Stingy in meat. Yeung Chow fried fries is beyond far from the Yeung chow I knew, they packed it with bean sprouts and doesn t smell/taste fresh. this is the worst I ve ever had. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Such a waste of money.1-
Its a busy restaurant and for good reason the food is good
It was good food
The food was very nice. The service at the store was ok.
It was OK. The food taste very nice.
Food prices are a bit pricey
TERRIBLE!!! I ordered food at 8:30pm and called after an hour of waiting and was rushed off the phone very rudely. My food wasnt delivered until 10pm. When I finally got the food it was cold, the shrimps were soggy and inedible and my noodle order was wrong. This is the last time this place will get my business. What a waste of money. I should have never opened my door and accepted this delivery.
Burnt my rice
Consistently great food and service. We love their spicy shrimp, their soups, wings and cocktail menus. My partner and I cant wait for them to reopen after the pandemic for sit down service. They are open for take out during the pandemic and take a lot of care to keep clean and sanitized.
Fast friendly service
this food is inedible don t waste your money
Talking about Chinese ,Vietnamese food the best of the best
Peter griffin guy at counter was really friendly. Food was great value and very tasty. This place deserves more love.
Very wonderful staff!
Enjoyed my dinner
Great food! Been coming here for over 20 years and the quality has held well. I like the Guyanese style options too.
Loved the presentation of this restaurant. Fast service, well prepared food. Friendly environment, would definitely come back
Favorite Chinese take out food in Toronto. Always my number one choice.
Thé food is REALLY good and always hot
I have ordered from this restaurant for years. However, tonight I waited exactly an hour and a half from my order and when it arrived the food was all cold. I called to complain because I refused to pay for cold food and they didnt offer me ANYTHING. Customer service is HORRIBLE. They forced me to pay full price or wait another 30 minutes. HORRIBLE SERVICE.
The best food special if you like seafood...... Love the lobster with black bean sauce...
It was amazing
Excellent Guyanese style Chinese food....
Good value for quality, quick, friendly service.
Great food, great friendly service.
The management gives alcohol to people who are alcoholics. Their SmartServe should be questioned. This place needs to close down as they are a threat to the community and only bring the reputation of York region down.
I have been going here for years. And the food is always on point. Always full of flavor and never cheap on the portions.
Very good
Excellent price good service large portions and the food was good and made to order fresh, not sitting around.
Good food plesent atmosphère
Cool place
Not sure if management changed but the last time I was here portions were pretty good but this time around it was underwhelming. Pricing for what you get is not worth it, food tasted ok. Nonetheless, its a place to check out.
Realy good
Good food. I wouldnt say healthy food but it does taste good. My family loves there spicy wings and the shrimp fied rice.
Really good food
Really nice owner and Workers. Amazing customer service and delicious food
Cheap and good
Indo Chinese food
One of my favorite places
I have been going to this place for many summers. The name and ownership changed within the last 4 months. However, the food is still delicious. I miss the past owners because they were nice to my son and he liked them a lot. Everytime he met them there would be a nice exchange of hugs. All the best to them wherever the are.Most likely retired. The new young man seem nice and friendly.
Just love there food, and very nice customer service
If you didnt try the General Tao... dont talk to me
Very cheap food
Food was good
Good food with larger than average helpings.
Ordered a few things wonton soup but it was orange for some reason pork fried rice came out burnt egg roll was horrifying and chili chicken was a nice try but I wouldnt reccomend this place
