China New Star

Good food, friendly staff, large portions, neighborhood favorite.

Note that I've only ever had the takeout from here. The food is pretty bland, even for takeout Chinese food. While I've definitely had better, this is still passable.

I don't know what everyone is talking about but this place is disgusting. They truly are rude trying to rush you out. If anyone gave this restaurant four to five stars they must have gotten fried chicken with fried rice and for the price that they charge you should go to a regular Chinese store down the road. I went there one day with my girlfriend she ordered the lobster Cantonese and I ordered the crispy duck. When the food came I literally got sick because after tasting it it turn my stomach the duck that I was long waiting had the most fat wasn't on the duck was not crispy and had the most bean sprouts I've ever seen in a dish. It was so salty after a few bites we had to leave. Is there fried rice and soup was great but I can spend $2 for that anywhere else.

We come back to Brooklyn as often as we can and we usually eat our way through the borough. Of course the pizza is great from places like L&B and the hot dogs at Nathans...But we are always trying to find the kind of Chinese food we grew up eating. After looking for The New China Inn on Flatbush Ave back in March...we stumbled on this place. All I can say is we ate there 3 times in 4 days. This is the real thing. Worth a trip from anywhere on earth. We could not believe our mouths. Go and do it now!

Good food, but I have a nagging suspicion that the staff may be held there against their will (or might be paying off a debt they acquired to smuggle them here). My personal opinion. Cops seem to be eating there for free. Perhaps that is one way to maintain the status quo. The food is sooooo good, but I feel guilty eating here. Well, I can't prove it, it's not my job, so I guess I'll keep eating the food. I suggest you try the "Peking Beef" & the "Jumbo Shrimp with white sauce (God knows what's in the white sauce) and roasted Walnuts". Wonton soup is good. Drinks are cheap and good.
