I had time to step away from the client’s office for lunch, and decided to give Star King a try. The first thing I noticed was the hand written “cash only” notice on the front door. Once inside I saw that the restaurant would comfortably seat about 50. Only a few tables were occupied when I got there, but the restaurant was almost half full when I left.
While I waited for my food, I was served a pot of complementary tea. I ordered the “BBQ Lemongrass Chicken with Rice Noodle Soup” ($10.75 for the medium size). I incorrectly assumed that the chicken would be in the soup. Instead what I got was a couple of decent sized pieces of grilled chicken on a side plate. The soup was broth and noodles. Everything tasted pretty good. Also, if I had to do it again, I would probably order the small soup. I was really full when I left.
Service was quiet and fast.
Treated myself to some pad thai tonight (I deserve it, right??) and being a Sunday it was a real challenge finding anything open in my area that I haven't already tried. Fortunately Star King was open (I had a REALLY pad thai craving) and the dish was a deicious! For under $10, the portion was ample and the fortune cookie that came with was tasty ("Good food will always be available to you"... not totally wrong but not exactly the type of fortune i was expecting), but it while the pad thai was delicious and hit the spot, it was a bit drier than I would like and did not have much chicken or tofu. I nonetheless would gladly return :)
I took the food to go, but the service was quick and pleasant and the restaurant seemed very clean if a tad small.

I ordered the Rice Vermacelli when i came in and my friend ordered the Pho, the vermacelli was good however it came with very little pork, unfortunately.However the Pho looked very largeso this place is definitely worth the value in what you are getting
