We really enjoyed the food here! The book choy is great and the potstickers were quite authentic as well as a few other dishes. It seemed quite busy for a quiet little place, the service seemed a little stressed but still, the food was great!

They do make authentic Chinese dishes here. But the portion is on the small side, and some dishes are quite sad. The steamed pork with rice flour is just so old it’s probably frozen for a long time. We heard the chef went back to China recently and may or may not return. The owner made the dishes for us. I surely hope the chef will return. The old man server is great, but the place is quite unkempt and layout is poor. Probably won’t return.

Where to begin? $17 for $5 of food. Gen. tso chicken large. Cold, not spicy. Lunch special size 4 full price. Fried rice w nothing in it. A frozen food type made in a warehouse egg roll that probably came out the frozen section they charge me $2 for that. And my dish had four or five pieces of broccoli. Conservatively speaking we’re looking at a $1.60 worth of rice. $0.50 worth of broccoli and maybe $3 worth of chicken. 0.50 spring roll. I will never go there again. I could have spent the same money at Texas Roadhouse and got a steak salad and potato. I wish I could give it no stars. Even in the midst of all the covid madness and hyperinflation there’s no way I got my money’s worth over there today. A lot of these places in Athens need to shut down. Go to peach pit BBQ their food is always great right around the corner. I just noticed on the receipt they even charged me a credit fee and I paid with cash. Theives!

We drove an hour from Atlanta to get take-out food from Wok Star! We ordered assorted beef as our appetizer, hot spicy boiled fish, Mongolian beef, shredded pork with tofu noodles & peppers, and fried rice as our entrees.
Let me just say I regret eating my lunch that day because I wish I had more room in my stomach! We loved all the dishes so much that even though we ordered plenty and thought we would have left overs, we finished everything in one setting. (Probably should have ordered more!)
Everything was cooked just right and the flavors were incredibly satisfying. The hot spicy boiled fish was very tender and juicy and paired particularly well with the fried rice. The vegetables tasted very fresh too!
The service was fantastic too. The owner was very considerate, friendly, responsible and cooked everything with our arrival time in mind so we didn’t have to wait. They were also very proactive about practicing social distancing and wore gloves and masks, which in this pandemic made me feel a lot safer and respected.
I wish I didn’t live so far away! Highly highly recommend and next time I’m in Athens I will surely be ordering from Wok Star again!

The food is great. You can get authentic Chinese dishes here. You also will pay more than a typical American Chinese restaurant. You can get good deals from restaurant. c o m and through Verizon to help cover the cost. We ordered 4 different dishes and were very pleased with our orders but there were no leftovers, which is very unusual for us when we get Chinese takeout. The portions are not the typical size for the price. The food is not so much better than typical takeout that I can justify paying their prices regularly.
If you found this review helpful, please give it a thumbs up. Thanks!

Best, and most authentic, Chinese food in town! A lot of Chinese students and staff at UGA order their lunches and eat there. The Chef was trained in China. However, it is not fast, they prepare everything when you order it and they have a large takeout business. Well worth a visit, best Sizzling Rice soup I have ever had. They also do Gluten Free.

I recently moved into the area and one day driving down Cherokee Road noticed a restaurant with a cool name…Wok Star…I decided to try it out. The first time was last Friday. I had the tofu and vegetables and it was outstanding. I went back today and had the sesame tofu. So good!!!! I love that Wok Star has many different tofu dishes. Not just the same “tofu and vegetables” you get at other Chinese restaurants where it’s usually drowning in sauce and doesn’t seem fresh. The tofu and vegetables at Wok Star tasted fresh and both dishes I tried were cooked perfectly. Best Chinese food I’ve had in years and the people who work there are friendly too.

Excellent authentic Chinese food. Very warm, friendly and courteous people. Even made a bamboo dish not in the menu at our request. Highly recommend. The place is owned and operated by Chinese folks so the food is definitely authentic. The chef came over and had a long chat with us to discuss what they had in the menu and how they could address my dietary requirements.
