"This is one of the best restaurants I've ever visited, hands down. I came to visit Oakland for a work trip, and during my stay I found myself coming back to Shooting Star Cafe well over four times in a two day period. Each time I got something different, and every item was delicious, refreshing, and made me want to keep coming back. In particular I loved their lychee sago bowl with mixed fruit, and all of their drinks were exactly what I was hoping for. "
"We had several dishes that were delicious. Pork Spareribs Clay Pot Rice / 㰖角排骨煲仔飯 had great flavors with Bok Choy and bowl full of rice, too much rice. Shredded Pork Pan Fried Noodle / 肉絲煎麵arrived with pan noodles on separate container. Shredded pork could also be great as a soup dish! Combination Meat Chow Mein / 雜錦炒麵was ok nothing special and almost lacked that wholesome flavor for authentic chinese food. Fried Prawns / 炸蝦was cooked perfectly and tasted great! Popcorn Chicken / 鹽酥雞 was seasoned well! Beef Chow Fun / 乾炒牛河 was surprisingly very good with good flavors. Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings / 椒鹽雞中翼 were ok and our least favorite, very oily and arrived soggy. "

"You always pray that the Avocado Egg Rolls don't disappoint especially if your hopes are tied to pick up/delivery... mine did not! They were perfect! I should've asked for no tomatoes on the kids pizza and the BJ's Brewhouse Classic Pizza crunchy thin tasty yummmmmm"
"Save yourself the headache and the $$ and order from somewhere else. I honestly do not understand how this location has the ratings it does because this was one of the worst restaurant delivery experiences I’ve had in a very long time, especially for a >$100 order. This restaurant is literally one block away from me, and it took about an hour for the food to arrive. When the food finally arrived, the order was missing the Pizookie entirely. The deep dish nachos were honestly embarrassing. Many of the chips were burnt nearly black, and for $19 there were barely any toppings at all. There was no guacamole, no salsa, and no sour cream. The toppings that did exist were scattered over the top few chips, while the rest of the container was basically just burnt chips with almost nothing on them. The chicken broccoli Alfredo came with what appeared to be a single broccoli stem, not even actual broccoli florets, and a few slices of chicken. The Parmesan crusted chicken was also missing the lemon sauce, the bottom of the container look partially melted like it was sitting near or on a heating element. How a restaurant can display multiple quality control failures across almost every item in the order is impressive. To add insult to injury the response to the incomplete and poor-quality order was a $33 credit or the option to wait another hour for replacement food. That is an absurd resolution considering the amount of money spent and the I condition the food arrived in."

"the chicken is yummy, again got no bbq sauce. we normally get two pieces of Herb-Roasted Chicken per order but this time 1 each. Tried the mashed potatoes this time and they are delicious."
"Initially I was excited to see Prime Rib entree on a Sunday afternoon. So I placed my order for a medium rare slice with a baked potato (with sour cream, chives and butter); and a side of roasted asparagus. What was delivered was Caesar salad, a medium rare slice of prime rib with enormous amount of fat. The meat was definitely seasoned well as it each bite tasted peppers and herbs. No horse radish and au jus were included. It was delivered warm. The baked potato was practically bigger than the supposedly 15 ounce slice of prime rib. The roasted asparagus was included in the delivered food. A Caesar salad was in the package. The croutons were soggy, definitely not crunchy. Naively I wasn't awared "Slo-Roast" is fronted by BJ Bistro. I was hoping for the best and it fell short."

"These are the best Gyros ever! The simplicity is delicious. Some places put way too many things inside a Gyro. Gaters makes it right! You can always get humus on the side and spread it on your Gyro, perfection 😊 You don't need a million ingredients to make something taste outstanding! "
"So little meat espec considering I paid for extra if I had not paid for more I think they might have sent three tiny pieces of meat. Also the Pistachio Baklava was smaller than my 5month olds hand. One bite and thats it! Also I asked for no lettuce and I got mushy cooked lettuce inside my Lamb Gyros :( frys tasted like a few days old too. Dont think I would ever eat here again. It was edible but so tiny portions and not great taste so many better gyro places out there"

"24 hrs.. food is excellent, homestyle, the carne I tried today was so good it tasted rich of charcoal"
"The marinated Carne Asada was fantastic! The fried plantains I haven't had in a long time since childhood, also good. Pickled salad and rice/beans rounded the entree out. 5/5 Corn on the cob was perfectly sweet and had arrived pre-buttered. I did not even have to use the extra butter that was provided but did so anyway. 5/5 The enchilada was ok and served as the appetizer... 4/5 Orange-Cantaloupe juice = great taste but it is a small cup. A nearby taqueria in Fremont also makes a fantastic melon juice for the same $5 price BUT is 3x larger... 3/5"
