We didn't mean to eat here. We were trying to eat somewhere else. We had big plans to enjoy a nice dinner at a trendy place before our show at the Kentucky Center. But there was rain. And wind. And cold. And then the restaurant we had planned to visit was closed. And there, through the cold, dripping, misery of the storm, shone Cheer King Star - a beacon in the bleakness that threatened our evening.
It's not much to look at, but I've found this to be true of most good Chinese places. The inside is clean and no fuss, with plastic tables and chairs, and a condiment station with individual packages of soy and duck sauce, plastic utensils, and single-use chopsticks. You order at the counter, pay, and, if you're hanging around because you've got a show to get to, choose a table.
Our food arrived quickly, and SO delightfully hot (remember, it was cold and rainy). I can confirm the fabulousness of the following:
-Vegetable with bean curd soup
-Bean curd Szechuan style
-Broccoli with garlic sauce
Although we didn't mean to eat here, I'm so glad we accidentally popped in. Great flavor, perfectly cooked - who needs trendy when you've got Cheer King Star? -

Looking for Chinese food in downtown Louisville is a little bit challenging. Cheer King is tucked away and not showy, but provides reliable and affordable Chinese food at lunch time. The buffet is limited but sufficient and if you skip the drink, you can eat lunch for $6.95. How great is that? I ate here twice. The first time I dined in and the second time I carried out. Carry out was the best bet as the inside is not very aesthetically appealing.

My review will be brief and efficient just like this Chinese restaurant. Cheer King star is small, nondescript, but clean and fast. The price is cheap: $6.95 for buffet; $7.95 w a drink. You can also order al a carte from the menu. Their offerings are the usual Chinese take out favorites, no surprises. But the dishes are replenished w high frequency at lunch time so everything is fresh as can be. I also find that the dishes are not overly salty or goopy like some other places. I highly recommend this place for a quick lunch!

Delivery was really fast. Food was almost cold but you never know with delivery. Sweet and sour chicken was good but a bit overdone. The egg drop soup was SO good! Consistent and run of the mill but perfect for any Chinese craving.

I have had take out a couple of times from here and i have to say it is fast, fresh and the people working there are very nice. The food, however, it is not memorable or exciting in any way. The teriyaki chicken with rice is just OK, steamed dumplings are too bland (however cooked perfectly), egg rolls are small and dry. Its one of those places you order from because it is convenient, not for any other real reason.
