They offer dimsum all day; we ordered 9 dishes and they were really good. Service was pretty fast, and our servers promptly refilled our teapot/cleared empty dishes. The final price was way lower than we expected, so we’re pretty happy. Overall I defintely recommend if you want some dimsum.

Ocean star is an amazing restaurant and I love everything thing about.From the food to the atmosphere, this place is divine. The menu is huge with so many dishes, my favorite being the Hong Kong sweet and sour chicken (would recommend). My first time having it with my cousins blew my mind.The variety, The style, and size of the menu is amazing. The food itself is even better. On top of all of the great dishes, the atmosphere sits atop like a cherry on an ice cream cone. Ocean star is full of beautiful traditional Chinese art and comfortable seats. Although the employees don’t seem too happy, this place is a top tier option in Chinese cuisine. If you plan to not visit ocean star, you’re missing out on a lot.

This experience overall was amazing. The staff were nice, the food was amazing and the restaurant had plenty of seats and free parking. There was a very wide variety of different foods and I must recommend the sponge cake. I highly encourage everyone to dine in or take out

Really enjoyed the dim sum. Since the pandemic, they have not had the rolling carts, but their menu has a picture of everything so you get a little bit of the look at a picture and pick a choice feeling. Really tasty and good staff.
