This business has since closed down, but before that, this was my go to places when I wanted to eat something. They had a range of different dishes meaning that if I wanted western and someone else wanted asian, our needs would be fully satiated.

The service was quite ordinary, and it had a cafe type of feel to it (which I suppose it should've). The food was really lacking before it closed down, but that was due to a new chef, if I remember. I've been quite disappointed about its closure as there aren't any decent restaurants I've been to that sell both asian and western food.

Love their szechuan chicken but customer service can be ordinary at times. Location is convenient with plenty of parking and the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating.

My friends and I go to Star East Cafe either every week or every second week or so, not because it's great, but instead it's our choice when we can't come to a group consensus.

Having said that, the food is pretty good. It's a Hong Kong style cafe, but doesn't specialize in any one style of food in particular. It has Chinese, Japanese and Western cuisines, as well as fusions of each sort of cuisine. The pricing is very competitive as well, and so it should be, since Glen Waverley is not short on good eateries anyway.

The one problem Star East has is in its mediocre service. The wait staff are constantly hurrying you to order, often do not get the order correct, and generally go around the restaurant with a surly and unapproachable manner. Perhaps this is the 'Hong Kong' style of service, but it shouldn't carry over to Australian service.

Having said that, the service quality doesn't usually deter us from going to Star East, as it is usually an acceptable neutral choice for most people, I suppose.

Wide varieties of Hong Kong style foods. I usually order the Noodle soups. I like coming here at around 2-3 PM, that's when they have tea time special. Order certain dishes and get free ice drink.

Hong Kong style cafe with no real specialisation in a particular cuisine. Their menu is extensive and covers foods from a number of cuisines, including chinese, japanese and western. The cafe itself can get quite busy so if you're in a large group, a booking in advance would probably be best.

The atmosphere is very casual. Highly recommended for those after a quick casual meal as the food comes out quickly. Their Hong Kong style milk tea is awesome!

Have been here a few times now. Typical Hong Kong style cafe with an extensive menu(but also serving Japanese food). If you can't find a particular combination you want you can ask them to switch rice for noodles for example. Prices are reasonable for this type of food and usually you don't have to wait long for it to arrive.

I've only been here a few times, but always order the same thing: their teriyaki beef noodle soup. It's delicious, but unfortunately the wait staff ALWAYS get it wrong, and bring the standard teriyaki beef dish. I then have to spend ~5 minutes trying to explain to them the difference between what they brought me and what I ordered even though I read my order straight off the menu. I usually have to resort to pointing to the menu because they don't understand me (the english skills of the people who work here don't appear to be as good as some of the other places on Kingsway, so most of the time you do need to refer to the menu a lot because there are a lot of dishes with similar names - I'm not saying this is a bad thing, it's just something to be aware of as it can be a little frustrating sometimes). Apart from that, the food is decent quality - the teriyaki beef is extremely succulent (cooked rare as the pieces are so thin) and the soup is beautiful. The Japanese combination entree is great - the tempura eggplant is delicious. Not necessarily a place to go if you're wanting a fancy, private night out, but great for a casual meal before going to a movie.

Approximate cost: $10-$20

The menu is extensive and offers pretty much every Asian rice dish you can think of.
The food is served really quickly but i think it;s a bit on the oily side. I didnt like the seating and cutlery either - it was all a bit sticky and unclean. But if you are after some cheap food for value, then this is the place!

Vast menu that includes everything from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hong Kong styled Western dishes and more. Service is mostly prompt though waiters can sometimes be rude. Overall a good experience.

I occasionally go to this restaurant with my family to dine. The food they serve is good quality but fairly expensive
