Star Kitchen is located in a modest strip-mall and isn't much to look at, but this Chinese restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine -- one designed with the express purpose of filling everyone in the entire city with fantastic dumplings and other amazing creations that keep coming out of the kitchen. Service is fast and friendly, particularly during dim sum, which is the very best in the city. And unlike some of the town's other popular dim sum joints, this one has a liquor license. Star Kitchen shines very bright.

  • 2011 | Best Dim Sum

    It's high noon on a Saturday and, predictably, there's a crowd of hungry people pushing through the door, speaking in English and foreign tongues, wondering how long the wait might be for a table. It's just another dim sum day at Star Kitchen, a... More >

  • 2010 | Best Dim Sum

    "You back! Long time to see!" shouts the woman. It's been a while since we last picked the pushcarts clean at Star Kitchen, and the tiny owner with the one-inch waist won't let us forget it. "It's been long time," she repeats, shoving... More >

  • At Star Kitchen, the dim sum really does shine the brightest

    By Laura Shunk | Thu, July 28, 2011

    I usually go to Star Kitchen for dim sum. And I'm not the only one. At lunch time — especially lunch time on the weekends — the restaurant is a chaotic sea of people, with families huddled around tables, the adults passing dishes back and forth on... More >

  • More Chinese food, more Vietnamese food - all good news

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, March 05, 2009

    This week's review of Star Kitchen (2917 West Mississippi Avenue) ignores one very important part of the menu: namely, everything that isn't dim sum. But the omission was deliberate because, given the choice between eating dim sum and eating almos... More >

    Chinese brunch may be the best brunch of all — and newcomer Star Kitchen, started by the former chef at Super Star Asian, serves the best dim sum in town. The carts keep coming out of the kitchen, full of baskets and bowls, all steamy and smelly and packed with surprises. And then there are the plastic cafeteria trays, loaded with two or three dishes sent out special by the kitchen, little bites that the galley crew throws together — things they're testing out. We like seeing the overwhelming enthusiasm for one's craft that can make a kitchen already bogged down by a Sunday morning rush of a hundred covers or better break from the menu and start cooking new, delicious, occasionally inspired stuff just for fun. And dim sum at Star Kitchen is decidedly fun, made even better by the addition of a liquor license.
