Review from shyni y.

It took me sometime to realize the name of this restaurant because I just dashed into the big yellow token of a signage that said "All day Breakfast" and never bothered to read.
My first thought is , what an ideal place?! two of my favourite foods - Chinese and breakfast food - but I am of course skeptical.
As with most places I love, the love for decor is non-existent - but I will take that trade off any day - good decor and bad food is sooo SO horrible, because they usually charge a lot too...ANYWAY.
Food is good; Cheap and nommy. I feel a bit ripped off when I buy the Chinese food here because in Chinatown, the same dish is slightly cheaper - but I am in Parkdale where we have slim pickings of ethnic foods.
I don't expect service here -because it's a family run store and high school kids are usually serving away - but it's not bad. They're pleasant and bring me nommy foods for cheap- and usually are accommodating.
This is a great place to go when you're broke or too lazy to cook or both - take a handful of change and you can get a filling meal.
ONE beef I have: tiny milkshakes- slightly watery...but now I'm just being picky - and biased since in my world all milkshakes should come in supersized cups for $3. -

This is quickly becoming my favourite place to eat in the area. It reminds me of some of the old school diners I used to eat at growing up. The food is good and the portions are big. But, to top it off, the food is also unbelievably cheap. They have a ton of options for only $5 bucks, including breakfast.
The breakfast itself is huge. Five bucks gets you coffee, home fries, toast, bacon, and FOUR eggs. How do they even make money for $5?
They have a huge ass cheeseburger with fries for five bucks as well. The burger is bigger and tastier than the $17 burger at the Drake cafe, and their fries are also crispier and way better. It really is a no brainer on where you should go if you want good food for cheap.
Their fried rice is also really huge and filling for $5. I usually get stuck on the breakfast, but I am looking forward to trying every $5 item on the menu! -

Food & cost is very decent, service usually very good.
I've been to Queen Star Restaurant several times for breakfast and once for a pad thai "to go".
The prices have always decent as has the food. However I've had some issues there with the service where I'd order something and not get it, yet they'd try to charge me for it in the end.
The last time I was there was last week-end, and I had excellent service along with great food, so based on my last experience, they deserve a top of the line rating. If this continues, I shalt update my rating for this venue to 5 stars :-D -

We came in after moving into the area when we saw an all day breakfast sign for $4.95. It's a dingy diner but how can you go wrong getting 4 eggs, bacon, toast, coffee and home fries for $5? There are various other items on the menu for $5 like a burger and fries or fried rice.
The food here is very solid for a diner and I'd come back in a heart beat when I'm hungry...especially if I didn't want to spend to much. -

Cheap, tasted OK, nothing special. Waitress and cook can't speak English well enough to get any requests correct, wanted dark toast, got bread buttered, wanted mustard, had to get up and request it, eggs were scrambled rather than over easy . But inexpensive and coffee was decent.
