City Star

City Star is a small Chinese takeaway on City Road in central Lochee, the historic jute-mill quarter of west Dundee whose Camperdown Works was once the largest jute mill in the world. The Stack retail park sits a short walk away and now anchors much of the local trade, but City Road still carries the residential streets that feed the takeaway through the week.

The menu is the familiar Cantonese-takeaway sweep — chow mein and chop suey variants, curry sauces, fried rice, salt and pepper dishes, set meals built for two, and a side line in chips and burgers for the late crowd. Listings on the main delivery aggregators show a consistent presence over the years and a wider Lochee delivery radius covering Charleston and the streets running up toward Tullideph. Reviews are workmanlike rather than ecstatic; the shop's appeal is its dependability for a midweek family order rather than any signature dish. It sits in a parade alongside other small food businesses in central Lochee and tends to fill the gap between the chip shops and the more elaborate sit-down Indian restaurants further along the High Street.
