Asian Star - Midvale

To start with this place is under new ownership and it is still out for a verdict if they will maintain the excellent food. Gary was one of a kind in his expectations of staff, food and cleanliness. The service was not as good this visit as it has been in the past. The Pon Pon Chicken, Walnut Shrimp, or any of the chef's special are good. My wife loves their noodle dishes. The cream cheese wontons, pot stickers and lettuce wraps are very tasty. Overall because of the food this is still worth the wait to eat there.

Our experience has always been excellent. Great, hot food, served very quickly. I haven't found a dish I do not like. Love the walnut shrimp for the sweet tooth. More pricey, but totally worth it. We've need a place like this in the neighborhood for a very long time.

I've been here a couple times. On my most recent visit, we were in a hurry to see a movie at a nearby theater. We asked the staff if they could accommodate, and they did--we were out within about 35 minutes. Amazing service! Sadly, the food here tends to be disappointing. It looks so good and is presented so well, but my dishes are always a bit bland (except for the egg drop soup, which is flavorful). The fried rice particularly lacks flavor. It would be one thing if these were $12, $15 meals, but at the prices they charge, I expect an amazing meal. The ambience here used to be really neat, but they built an awkward industrial sort of wall in the middle, cutting off the glass dining area on the upper floor and creating a crowded space.

Service took so long. Food tastes bland for the price. We won't be back. We don't know if it's the carpet or what but it's smells like sewage water inside. I am so disappointed cause it was recommended restaurant by someone I know.

We were looking for somewhere close to eat as we ended up in an impromptu rain shower while on an afternoon walk! Asian Star was just around the corner when it started to sprinkle so we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! To be honest, I forgot that going out to eat on Mother's Day weekend is crazy! We had great timing as we got there just before several other groups! The wait wasn't long and everyone was friendly and had great humor! I ordered the chicken lo mein and it was exactly what I wanted! I have found that not all restaurants in Utah make lo mein the way I am used to. This was perfect! Nice and thick oily delicious noodles with the chicken cut thin so I had several pieces in each bite. My kiddo ordered Tangerine chicken with fried rice. The chicken was crispy and perfectly sauced! One of the better orange chicken dishes we have had locally! Not over spiced or too tangy. I didn't try the fried rice, but my kid had no complaints. This place hit the spot! And the staff was awesome! I am glad we got there when we did because it was packed when we left! If I had a criticism, the prices were a little steep.
