UPDATE: The photo was reportedly taken at the China Star in Lubbock, Texas. See the story here.

The picture above has recently been circulating around social media with the claim that it was taken at the Wichita Falls China Star restaurant.

Today, China Star took to Facebook to defend themselves. They pointed out flaws in the photo that show it was not at their restaurant. The restaurant says that they have not used placemats like the one in the photo for years. They also say that the rice at their restaurant is not cooked in the way this photo shows.

Currently, the restaurant has a 4 1/2 star rating on Facebook, 3.7 on Google Plus, and a 76% approval rating on Urban Spoon.

You can see their original response below.
