This is one of the best restaurants I've ever visited, hands down. I came to visit Oakland for a work trip, and during my stay I found myself coming back to Shooting Star Cafe well over four times in a two day period. Each time I got something different, and every item was delicious, refreshing, and made me want to keep coming back. In particular I loved their lychee sago bowl with mixed fruit, and all of their drinks were exactly what I was hoping for.

We had several dishes that were delicious. Pork Spareribs Clay Pot Rice / 㰖角排骨煲仔飯 had great flavors with Bok Choy and bowl full of rice, too much rice. Shredded Pork Pan Fried Noodle / 肉絲煎麵arrived with pan noodles on separate container. Shredded pork could also be great as a soup dish! Combination Meat Chow Mein / 雜錦炒麵was ok nothing special and almost lacked that wholesome flavor for authentic chinese food. Fried Prawns / 炸蝦was cooked perfectly and tasted great! Popcorn Chicken / 鹽酥雞 was seasoned well! Beef Chow Fun / 乾炒牛河 was surprisingly very good with good flavors. Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings / 椒鹽雞中翼 were ok and our least favorite, very oily and arrived soggy.

I love beef stew egg noodles and they used to make it very tasty and fresh. Now all I taste is Super salty and the beef is hard and taste like overnight. The broth is just veggie and soy sauce with a lot of salt. I have 3 stars because of the egg noodle. Btw, the portion is way less than before and the price has been increased a lot.

The food left room for improvement. The Pork Spareribs Clay Pot Rice / 㰖角排骨煲仔飯 I ordered was burnt and left a sour-bitter aftertaste in the sauce. I've had excellent clay pot rice in other restaurants, which is why I can say that this clay pot rice was burnt. The Black Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango / 椰芒黑糯米 had a strange taste. Definitely not on par with the many others I've tried across different thai shops, this one was disappointing and very flooded, not very sweet and tasted kind of like curd. It was okay but I will not order it again when you can get way better options for the same price elsewhere.

I was really disappointed. I was so excited to order something new. In the picture there’s tons of meat on top of the noodles but I only received four pieces and two out of the four were just fat. On top of that there was barely any broth so it was really bland.
