Seven Star

Seven Star is your typical Americanized Chinese food.  There seems to be only two of these spots on Mercer Island.  The other one was not good at all, so I wasn't expecting much of this place.

I was pleasantly surprised.  It's not gourmet food by any means but it's decent.  The pan fried dumplings (guo tie) were standard and decent, but a bit expensive - 4 pieces for $6.25....

The hot and sour soup was not bad, tons of black pepper so the soup was really spicy!

The Szechuan garlic chicken was okay.  There was a lot of baby corn on the dish, which I liked.  The dish was not that spicy.

The entree prices here seem rather high though.  Most of the entrees I saw were at minimum $10, with a lot of dishes around $14.  This price seems really steep for Americanized Chinese food.

I think rice was extra though, which is stupid because rice is practically free in bulk...

The server was really nice and friendly.  He does speak Mandarin Chinese.

Need a quick lunch? Get in get out and get full with a good priced chinese lunch. Great lunch selection. Comes with soup and fried rice instead of white if you want. If you order to go you can't get soup. Never been here for dinner but it's definitely decent for lunch.

The service here was friendly, but unfortunately this was one place I should have read the reviews for before I dined. I was so happy to see Chinese on Mercer Island, I just stopped to check it out.

The wonton soup was a little lite and even soy sauce didn't wake it up. The Mongolian beef was a small portion camouflaged with a bed of onion.

Again the service was good, but it's obvious that they earned their rating.
