Amazing food and drink choices! Very kid friendly where the staff was very patient with our kids (3 moms 6 kids 😅) They even gave each kid a toy that kept them entertained the whole time. Sometimes when places have such a big menu quality of food goes down but NOT this place. Everything was amazing! We got sushi and Thai and Chinese food. All amazing 10/10. Service was fast, prices were great and the atmosphere was homey. We will definitely be back to try the hibachi!

I've done hibachi at a lot of places. Hands down this was the best food and service ever!!! I'm coming in to edit because I did light the first time. We went at 630 on Vale tines Day. The place was jammed packed with people in line to pick up to go orders and people in line for the restaurant side a d then thr hibachi side. Then, people without reservations trying to do walk in with it already being packed WALL TO WALL !!! I will say this, they should've had someone by the door directing people on where to go. 🤣 But, I've been to high end steakhouses and restaurants and they would've sank with the crowd last night. So, we got seated at the hibachi and within 2 min they took our drink order. Drinks came out in less than 5 min. Then our food order was took, then out came the salads, then the soups. YES it was a little fast paced- due to they were booked solid with reservations. But, none the less the service was impeccable, the food is now my addiction, the prices are great and at the end of our meal the woman came out with all containers and bags for anything you had left over. I grew up in melose park so I'd go with my parents when I was little. I literally forgot about this hidden gem- now I'll never forget about it. I'm currently trying about 25 min away but I would travel here just for take out. ITS THAT GOOD ! Also, people are not aware that they do have the hibachi, they have sushi and they have Thai food. I will be going back here monthly going back and forth between the hibachi and the restaurant. Oh !!! They also have steaks so it's not your "typical" Cantonese or Chinese restaurant. And it is very clean inside. I just can not say enough about this place 🥰🥰🥰

Where do I begin? I visited the hibachi grill for the dinner experience on October 11 as a surprise birthday gift from a friend.

It was my first time at a hibachi restaurant, and I was blown away by the experience. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, filled with the sounds of sizzling grills and laughter. The chef was incredibly entertaining, expertly flipping food, creating amazing flame tricks, and engaging with diners throughout the meal.

The highlight of the night was not just the performance but also the food—the flavors were out of this world! Each dish was a delightful masterpiece, cooked to perfection right in front of us.

The combination of fresh ingredients and skillful preparation made for a truly unforgettable meal.

After such an amazing experience, I made a promise to myself that I would return soon to partake in these delicious festivities again.

I did just that on December 22, and once again, it did not disappoint. The food was just as mouthwatering as I remembered, and the service was impeccable; the staff was attentive without being intrusive.

The restaurant was spotless, which added to the overall positive dining experience. Everything seemed to run like a well-oiled machine, and I couldn't help but appreciate the efficiency with which the entire operation was handled. I left feeling satisfied and eager for my next visit!

What a great place! Food is phenomenal.... I cannot believe a quart of egg drop soup. Little bit over $3 so was there wonton soup? You're paying over $8 anywhere for a quart of soup. It's one of the best egg drop soups I've had .. went in for their lunch specials. I couldn't believe it. I ordered so much. Food was less than $60. Three entrees at the lunch. Special price and three appetizers... Look forward to going there again

It’s best when dining in but ever since I’ve come across this place I haven’t been any where else for Asian cuisine. I love you can choose Japanese style in the same location.

My favs are the egg foo young, miso soup, pineapple chicken, crab rangoons and soft shell crab 🦀

Staff is always nice and helpful too.

One word: AMAZING!!!! I’m always reluctant to try new hibachi spots because we are loyal to another spot that will remain unnamed LOL. However, after today I am a believer!!! Johnny made the best meal ever for our birthday dinner !!! And was also entertaining!! New Star does not disappoint !! If you’re hesitant don’t be!! Go!! The food is so delicious from start to finish!!! You also get a lot of food for your dollar!! I’m impressed and so happy we came here!! I can’t wait to come back with more people!!

We went again on December 28th 2024 for my daughter 13th birthday and loved it. Our chef was amazing. We loved his tricks and it was an all around great experience.

The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because my reservation was at 7:30 & I had to wait an hour to be seated.

Aside from that , I did the hibachi experience and it was amazing.

I got the happy couple meal & a pina colada which more than satisfied me & my partner for less than $125. We had enough left over for 2 more meals! It came with shrimp steak chicken fried rice noodles vegetables soup AND salad.

The chefs show was also super entertaining. I’ll be going back but I’ll be sure to go earlier.

I only got videos unfortunately so the picture quality sucks but this dinner was amazing.
