About Island Star
On South Beach in Stornoway, Island Star is a Chinese takeaway operating from a plain, unassuming frontage. The menu runs through the standard range, with spring rolls filled with chicken, pork and bean sprouts, and crispy shredded chicken served either on its own or in sweet and sour sauce. For larger orders, a Set Meal for 4 comes packed into a single large box. Portions across the menu tend toward the generous side. The shop takes walk-in orders rather than reservations, with no booking process to navigate.

“Absolutely shocking! Ordered in shop then phoned up to confirm order ! I was told they would phone back they didn't! So assuming the order was now fine we went to pick the order up and one meal was missing! Not happy with the communication! Absolutely terrible!”

Customer Review Summary
A minority report letdowns. One says the duck with beansprouts held only onion and the sweet and sour chicken was mediocre for the price. Another describes dry spare ribs, chips and rice, and tasteless prawns that seemed like reheated food from the day before. A third was promised a call back to confirm an order that never came, then found one meal missing at pickup.
