Our last visit was near the end of last year so should be the time to revisit.
Arrived in a group of three early 5:30pm in the weekday. It seems that take away orders are more than dining in that may due to the COVID impact.
We order the pan-fried shallot pancake, deep fried tempura with fish paste, chitterlings with preserved vegetables, mixed vegetables topped with egg and pork loin in sweet and sour. All dishes are quite tasteful with generous portion. Half mark was deducted for the over-charcoaled on the pancakes otherwise full mark was deserved.

Best three cup chicken I've had in Brisbane! The source is really good - a bit too sweet for my partner though - and the portion is quite generous. Definitely would go back :)

A very home styled restaurant with home cooked dishes that definitely reach out to you if you're missing some Chinese food from back home. The three cup chicken was a recommendation from a friend who told us that it was the best dish to try at Jing Star, so definitely had to try it. The chicken pieces were boneless and very flavoursome. The beef with spring onions was a bit overwhelming as you would assume there would be more beef than onions however, it seemed as though the ratio of onions to beef was almost even. The onions were definitely overpowering the beef. The beef was a bit overcooked and was quite chewy. The sweet and sour pork ribs was quite delicious however, could do with a bit more flavour and sauce. The braised tofu was one of my favourites - a good mix of tofu and vegetables and was very delicious.
The portion sizes were slightly larger than average so we ended up taking the leftovers home for dinner which were just as delicious reheated! Overall, all the dishes tasted very home cooked, and were not too oily which is always good. The dishes were not too salty but for the most part flavoured very well. A good restaurant to visit for some home cooked food!
