Yeah, I don't understand how this place used to get such good reviews. There was nothing special about it. Sampan is probably better. Maybe management changed or something? We made the mistake of coming here after going to Thaifoon and that place was just amazing but Asain Star - unlike it's hip looking outside, was nothing of the sort. It starts off with complimentary valet parking which is nice enough. Once inside, a nice fish tank or two but the inside is not quite what you would expect and more on the average to upper average scale. The menu has some of the similar things on it that a cheaper Chinese place would have but at least it is not cluttered with 10+ pages. We got some egg roll appetizers which tasted about the same as frozen. Then our main meal items were about the same as others have described. They were warm, but I was not impressed with the walnut shrimp. It was sweet, and probably some would like it - but way too sweet and thick. Getting out of the place was crowded and we had to wait awhile for valet. They had several looking tacky signs saying gratuity appreciated (for the valet) All in all, just 2 stars and the price was pretty much the same as Thaifoon.
