New Star Restaurant 526 8th St, Oakland, CA 94607

Recently I had the opportunity to dine at a Chinese restaurant called New Star on 8th Street in downtown Oakland. It is small inside but my party and I received immediate service from the owner once we entered. I tried the fried crab for $11.00 which may sound like a lot for one meal but they give you a whole crab. I also tried the orange chicken and Chow mien which came with very large noodles. Overall with the exception of the Chow mien, the food was pretty good and so was the service. Most of the entries are under $5.00 and come in large portions so you will be able to try different things and share with two or three people.
