About Star Kitchen
Star Kitchen is a Chinese takeout restaurant in Shrewsbury, found at 13A Lyth Hill Rd. Customers can walk in to order, and orders are also taken through Just Eat or by phone. The Munch box puts ribs, chicken wings, chips and spring rolls together in a single order, so one box covers four items. Beyond it, the menu includes chicken chow mein and sweet and sour chicken balls, so the choices run from the combined box to individual dishes.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who praise the food point to the munch box, packed with ribs, chicken wings, chips and crispy spring rolls, and to the hoi sin cashew chicken, orange chicken and chicken and sweetcorn soup, described as tender and full of flavour. One long-term customer says orders arrive punctual and hot. Negative accounts are more numerous, though, and centre on order accuracy and service. Reviewers report missing items, including salt and pepper chips and a portion of fried rice, and one vegetarian says a change request was refused and the wrong, non-vegetarian dish arrived. Deliveries are described as late, or in one case arriving well before the set time with food missing. Several say the phone went unanswered, including on Christmas Day, and one says a cashier told them to take it or leave it. Others found greasy, soggy chicken balls and dry, bland chow mein. One reviewer reports a hair in a meal, and another reports hair in the food and rats seen on the premises. One diner had to request a replacement after the first delivery arrived smothered in curry sauce.

“1. Food would've been great if there wasn't pubes inside my food. 2. Customer service was awful too. I told the cashier that they missed one of my fried rice kindly, he also said "It is what it is, take it or leave it". 3. Hygiene is off the chart, it was dirty as hell & I saw rats running around. Just what kind of takeaway restaurant is this?! How do they survive this long.”

“The Amazing Hoi Sin cashew chicken was full of rich flavour and quality ingredients. All the food was of an excellent Restaurant quality. The Amazing orange chicken was extremely orange tasting. Chicken was very tender and of high quality. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was very tasty and full of flavour. Would highly recommend them”
