China Star is a chinese restaurant in Durham, North Carolina. It is listed at 4639 Hillsborough Rd, Durham, NC 27705, which places it among the local businesses of Durham that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Durham; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in North Carolina are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 amβ9 pm. Note that it does not open on Tuesday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (919) 383-4800. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, chinastarnorthcarolina.com.
On Google it holds a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 66 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Durham and suggests consistent service.

I've searched all over North Carolina for a Chinese restaurant capable of making Shrimp Egg Foo Young the way I remember growing up in New York. For me, the gravy is everything. It's the true test of whether the dish is authentic. The previous owners of China Star, off of Hillsborough Rd in Durham, never quite got it right. Their version relied heavily on soy sauce and called it gravy, so I eventually gave up ordering Shrimp Egg Foo Young altogether. Then I found a restaurant in Raleigh with the perfect gravyβrich, flavorful, and reminiscent of home. The only downside was driving nearly 30 minutes whenever the craving hit. When China Star on Hillsborough Road (Durham) came under new ownership, I shared my story with Chen. He immediately understood what I was looking for and even offered a sample of the gravy before I ordered. Now that's customer service. The gravy was incredibly close to perfection. The color and flavor were spot on, bringing back memories of the Shrimp Egg Foo Young I enjoyed as a kid in New York. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to make it just a little thinner. Even so, it was excellent and among the best I've had in years. Combined with outstandi

Food is good but the website is not accurate and I as not helpful at all when tried to figure out what was going on. The chow mein says it is a noodle dish but there are no noodles at all. Called to figure out what was going on with what I ordered sense it was not what I thought and was talked to like I was crazy then got hung up on.

Food was really good. We got take out 4 stars because only a couple pieces of broccoli. We ordered Sesame Chicken /fried rice and egg rolls and General Tso plate. It was very spicy and some heat but flavor was really good.

This place is under New Management and has transformed from tolerable to terrific. Went there last week and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. China Star on Hillsborough Road is now a must try for quick it in or take out. Not as fancy as some, but more tasty than most. I love Chinese, and I am very picky, the Hunan Chicken here is the best in the triangle.

I got here for take out frequently with my husband. We love the Orange Chicken and the Kung Pow Chicken. We had ordered chicken lo mein and they polietly called me to make sure I knew they made traditional low mein (I got it anyway, and it def wasn't what I was expecting but hey, they warned me!) But the crab rangoons here are a STEAL yall, what a great deal. And the chicken wings are so crispy and full wings! No "flats or drums " debocal. I can spent 70 bucks easy for 3 people here but the portions are huge, really its like 6 servings!
