“ Came here during lunchtime on a weekday and this place was already pretty full. My friend recommended this place and finally I got to try a few dishes here. The STAR of the lunch was the Curry Beef Brisket with rice. I highly recommend this-- flavorful, delicious curry with plenty of pieces of brisket. They add green bell pepper to the curry. I could eat a few bowls of rice with the curry. The curry was savory and a tiny bit of sweetness. It's delicious. The popular baked pork chop with rice was good but not amazing. It wasn't my favorite. The pork chop was cut thin and clearly not that fresh. The texture of the meat was a bit dry and lacked the texture of a fresh piece of chop. We also ordered the pork chop in black pepper sauce with pasta. The flavor was ok, and same problem with the pork chop. The type of pasta wasn't the Italian ones just wanted to point out--it was less starchy and more like soft noodle. There was no texture and I could basically slurp it down without chewing. The lunch combo comes with salad, soup and a choice of drink. I would definitely come back for their other dishes. They have an extensive menu. ”

“ Cool late night spot. The Boba drink was good. I think it was brown sugar. Was recommended by the server. Food was delicious but was too hungry to take pictures. My B ”

“ We always get to go when we are in Oakland Chinatown! We love their baked pork chop rice. Different restaurants have their own sauce recipe and shooting star sauce is the one I love the most!! Their milk tea is very good too. Strong tea and perfect sweetness. We have tried their egg puffs and they are very crispy and tasty as well!! ”

“ Found a nice Thai restaurant I enjoyed the food and the service was ok Seating was ok aswell The food is why I came that delicious Thai flavor I like that they had a lot of different mocktails and authentic delicious desserts. I remember from visiting Thailand definitely want to add to your list to try. ”

“ One of our hangout spots with good friends late in the evening . Wait time today was longer than expected. It seems like everyone is here on a Saturday night for dinner. Service during this visit was mediocre not attentive , understandably, busy night for all the staff . Our group's favorite dish were pork ribs, bitter melon with black bean sauce cooked in clay pot. We could order another plate of their crispy tofu with black pepper & jalapeno. Follow by stirfry ong choy with fermented tofu . who would've thought fermented tofu goes so well together with the leafy vegetables. Hainan chicken dipping sauce were so delicious except I didn't like that. The chicken was refrigerator cold, I know that's how it was supposed to serve . Our two least favorite dishes were the shrimp vermicelli clay pot & the roasted duck noodle soup. MM mom NBC Of course we finish off with waffle balls with fresh fruits, light airy, a little fluff, and the Asian says not too sweet. It's a good thing. ”

“ We love coming to Shooting Star or ordering take out from them. They open early and close late. When dining in, for their set menus, it comes with a house soup and free drink. The free drink is limited to milk tea, lemon tea, almond milk or ovaltine but hey, it's free so you cannot complain. I normally order chicken pineapple fried rice, baked meat sauce spaghetti or pork chop fried rice. I like the east meets west style flavor. ”

“ Very clean and high class Hong Kong style food that is open late. Wildly popular and for good reason. I've got a friend from Hong Kong that brought me to many of the Hong Kong style restaurants around. I guess he was a bit homesick and would seek out these places for some comfort. The interior dining room is very comfortable. I love the set up of the dining. room being closed off from the main entry hall where people wait. Chairs are comfortable and not overly institutional. Shooting star theme a big plus. Love a place with a little character. Many people go here after some drunken night in downtown and with so few late options they stumble in here. I'm not gonna say thats what I do - don't want anything self incriminating here on the yelpusphere. Right now there is a steal of a deal with milk tea celebrating their anniversary. Now that is something to be thankful for. Such a huge variety of drinks and they advertise outside. Probably good for grab and go. Authentic and friendly. They get so busy late at night yet they can still get food out in a timely fashion. Popular even with the OPD - and more healthy than donuts. A must try if you in downtown Oakland. ”
