The salmon fried rice was absolutely incredible! The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the flavors blended beautifully with the rice—savory, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The shrimp spring rolls were a delightful treat—crispy on the outside and packed with juicy shrimp and fresh veggies on the inside. The accompanying sauce was the perfect complement, adding a touch of sweetness and tang that elevated every bite. Everything tasted fresh and homemade with care. Highly recommend this delicious combo!

Bbbbaaaabbbbb....BBBBBEEEE!!!! This was my first time trying this black owned restaurant and I absolutely enjoyed my visit. Food was delicious and the service there was awesome. I was immediately greeted upon entering and someone assisted us with their kiosk machine. Martinez was very patient and even gave great suggestions with our choice in food. The owner Darlene aka Ms. Star is truly a shinning individual. She was so nice, professional, educated and very sharing with her knowledge of food, recipes and her history of cooking experience. I can go on for days about my experience but I encourage you to go try this delicious BLACK, FEMALE OWNED restaurant for yourself. I cannot forget to tell y’all that all the sauces are freshly made from scratch and their Dill Ranch and Mint Blue Cheese is so good

Long post alert**** Last nights date night pick up was the best spot that Hubby took me too here in Philly. When I say phenomenal service, recommendations and the food oh my God! The vibe from the owner was simply top tier! I promise you if any of my friends are visiting Philly (west Philly) or you live here..please patronize this black owned restaurant. You will not be disappointed. The oxtail fried rice creative and perfectly delicious. They have anything you could imagine and more. The taste and flavors are over the top! Their smoked greens and kale mix were the best and she doesn’t incorporate any meat in them on top of that. I had the salmon fried rice as my dish...let’s just say you need to try it no doubt. My husband had the shrimp and chicken bang bang with the best green beans served with it. He wants it again! The tea was so good. We had their pineapple and strawberry tea freshly made. Everything is prepared fresh there. Checkout the menu and you will see that there are dozens of options. STAR FUSION EXPRESS will see me again, before I head back to Dallas next week! My to go order will be flying back with me!

I had passed this place a few times while out running. I’m so happy I finally stopped! The food is amazing! My food was made fresh! I got the wings, egg rolls and salmon bowl (a special that they run) and truly everything was flavorful and delicious! I’ll definitely be back! And the customer was amazing!!!! Literally gave me every sauce to try! Check them out!

They have an outdoor area which was perfect . We decided to walk because weather was great.. walk was longer than expected,, we were starving . Food was beyond delicious. The Jerk shrimp kabob was mouth watering. I no longer eat chicken so it definitely was just as good as jerk chicken. I also ordered the 24.99 special. Included 6 wings. I had salmon fried rice with broccoli it was amazing. My family ate the chicken as a snack . They had Korean BBQ. they enjoyed every bit of it. Finger licking good they stated. I can't wait to visit again. Think I'll order my salmon fried rice separate from the special its a nice 12oz serving. But I needed more to take home. Wish I found it sooner. They have many seafood options and plant based options

Me and my friend from out of town came here and had a great experience. He is mostly plant-based so they have a whole plant-based option not only do they have specialty they have specialty cauliflower which is a replacement for wings. We had the Caesar salad but it comes with like little grilled cheeses, which was really different and good Sauce on the teriyaki is good. I had the chicken and shrimp fried rice and salmon fried rice we ate. It was a nice day so we ate outside and we enjoyed our visit. I would say is to put on the windows that you have a plant based option for wings because nobody probably would know it from outside because it says home, especially wings and spring rolls, we had awesome experience. Thank you. The food was excellent.

Everything was great. Service was great. The only thing was they didn't have any cream in order to give me the milkshake that I came for. But I'll be back to get it. The cashier was also very pleasant and helpful.
