About STAR CITY
On Muirhead Ave E in Liverpool, Star City is a takeaway combining fish and chips with Chinese dishes on one menu. Cod and haddock come in batter, chips are served with salt and vinegar, and crispy chilli beef sits alongside a cheese and onion savoury cake as part of the range. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair-accessible, opening the shop to visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children collecting food. The business runs Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the main draw for reviewers, who describe flaky fish in a crispy batter. A cheese and onion savoury cake, a peppered steak pie and a fruity curry also get praise. Close behind is the Chinese side of the menu, where the prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken and crispy chilli beef earn warm mentions. Reviewers also cite generous portions, friendly staff and a very clean place. Consistency is where opinion splits. Three reviewers found the chips pale and mushy outside with a hard centre, tasteless, or sweaty, and one finds everything a little too salty. One notes thick, powdery batter and hard peas after a change of management. Another reports no plaice despite it being on the board, then bland cod and greasy haddock, and says prices run above average. Chinese dishes draw complaints too: one reviewer describes salt and pepper ribs as cremated with a chow mein full of cheap noodles. Another loved the crispy chilli beef and Singapore vermicelli on a first visit, then reordered them to find the beef rock hard in gluey red sauce and the vermicelli in burnt, greasy clumps, and both meals went in the bin.

“I love the place, portions are amazing, people are beautiful, I only have one little gripe or I would have given 5 for food too. Everything is just a little bit too salty but if this changes I definitely wouldn’t go anywhere else coz otherwise it’s perfect :) X”
