Conveniently located on the main drag in downtown Union City, Gold Star Chinese Restaurant lives up to its name.
In fact, customer review after customer review gives it plenty of gold stars for delicious Chinese food, from townies and out-of-towners alike. Canadohta Lake vacationers — and even Lake Erie vacationers — consider this their go-to Chinese restaurant.
Available for takeout, delivery or dine-in, Gold Star’s staff is welcoming and offers prompt service. The most popular dishes are General Tso's chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce. The portions are huge, the prices have been called “unbeatable” and the food is always made fresh with in-house recipes. The bonus is, it’s always ready quickly.
Chef specials include Four Season, a combination of meats and seafood, chicken, shrimp, pork, sauteed with broccoli and Chinese vegetables; Hawaii Five “O,” which is diced chicken, pork, shrimp, beef and lobster meat with mixed vegetables; and Shrimp with Chicken and Beef Hunan-Style.
Gold Star also has a good selection of diet and vegetarian dishes — steamed, with no salt, sugar or corn starch — for those seeking healthier options. Over steamed dumplings or fried rice or chow mein and so much more, patrons appreciate the delicious food and the restaurant’s cleanliness.
Gold Star is open Tuesday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is closed on Mondays. The restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible.
