Toy remains one of the many regular customers. The new owners made very few changes to the menu, keeping the Cantonese focus and adding a few Szechuan and sesame-flavored entrees. The restaurant's original owner, Howard Toy, sold the restaurant to Mar and three other partners, some of whom are relatives, in 1992. Since 1975, Golden Star has served up plates and to-go boxes of Americanized Chinese food - fried rice, chow mein, chop suey, sweet and sour, egg rolls and other dishes. "There's no way we could sell that kind of authentic Chinese food here," she adds. "When the children wanted to invite a friend over to play, I remember them saying 'Open the windows!' They tried to get those smells out of the house."
